Who is the real Li She? This has become the biggest question facing everyone now.

We can’t blame the two masters Daoxiu and Daoyuan for being confused. After all, they are over a hundred years old. Moreover, if the real Master Daoyuan and the Li She whom Xie Wanqin knew were fake, they would have nowhere to go.

.

Zhan Zhao asked Master Xiu, before Li She became a monk, did her family have a fortune of ten thousand yuan?

Master Dao Xiu shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any. Li She only saw through the world of mortals when he went from being a wealthy royal family to living alone and helpless on the streets."

Everyone couldn't help but frown - what is the fake Li She doing pretending to be the real Li She? What's the benefit?

And, where did the fake Li She’s wealth come from? Could it be that the money came from an illegitimate source, so he pretended to be a descendant of the royal family, so that the money could be laundered... But why did he choose Li She?

Zhan Zhao and the others pestered the Taoist master and asked him to recall whether the real Li She had ever mentioned anything special about his identity, or mentioned that someone was impersonating him...

Speaking of which, we all live together in Lin'an Mansion. Has Master Daoxin really never discovered that there is a richest man in Hangzhou who has the same name as himself?

The Taoist master thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Finally, he ran away with the flower pot and said, "Amitabha! I am a monk, and I don't know anything! Monks don't gossip!"

Everyone was helpless.

The only clue left now is the map left by He Wanfeng. Anyway, He Wanfeng is definitely more reliable than these confused monks.

Everyone had no intention of saying goodbye and decided to solve the case first.

I originally wanted to go to the back mountain of the other courtyard before dark, but as soon as I left Lingyin Temple, I saw the shadow guards running towards me in a hurry.

Zhao Pu observed the expressions of the shadow guards and estimated that something happened again.

When the shadow guards arrived, they didn't look for Zhao Pu, but Zhan Zhao, and said, "Qian Yuan's flower garden has been dug up."

Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "Has the skull's body been found?"

The shadow guards said they found it.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled - I found out why you have such expressions?

"More than just a skeleton found."

After the shadow guards said a word, Zhan Zhao's face wrinkled up and he asked with some disgust, "How many did you find?"

The shadow guards looked at each other and asked Zhan Zhao, "What do you think?"

Zhao Pu asked them to tell them quickly and stop showing off.

The black shadow said, "There are thirteen sets in total."

"How many?"

Everyone was shocked.

"There are a total of thirteen sets of skeletons buried in the flower garden!" the shadow guards replied, "It feels like one person per knife!"

Everyone turned around silently and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao covered his chest. Sure enough, everything about the transfer was all an illusion!

Yin Hou and Tianzun also turned around and glared at Dao Yuan - it's all you, tell him what kind of light, does he take it seriously?

Master Daoyuan also found it amazing - can you really pick up corpses wherever you go?

Everyone had no choice but to postpone their plan to enter the mountain until tomorrow, and go to Qian Mansion to take a look first.

Thirteen sets of skeletons were found at once. This was no small matter, and it immediately alerted Lin'an Mansion.

Master Qin and Master Bao came together, and even the grand master came over to take a look.

When Zhan Zhao and a large group of people rushed to Qian's Mansion, the door was surrounded by government servants.

Entering the backyard, the scene was extremely shocking... I saw a large pit dug in the flower garden, with thirteen bones lined up side by side in it.

Gongsun frowned and went over to check.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao also looked serious at this moment. The thirteen victims of the West Lake floating corpse case were still unjustly awaited, and there were thirteen more here.

Gongsun carefully inspected the body.

Originally, the corpse had turned into bones, and it must have been a pile of broken bones when dug out. Fortunately, it was the Shadow Guard who dug it out.

The Shadow Guards have followed Gongsun in digging graves over the years and have gained experience... After digging out the bones, everyone no longer needs shovels. They dig out a rough outline and then use brooms to sweep away the ashes, just like Si Tianjian excavating ancient tombs.

Yes, not only can the entire skeleton be excavated completely, but the posture of the skeleton before death can also be maintained, making it easier to determine the cause of death.

These thirteen skeletons were buried side by side, indicating that these people died and were buried at about the same time.

Zhan Zhao had used the shovel to prick the head of one of the people before. This person was probably taller than the others, so when he was put into the pit, his neck was folded, so his head was almost upright.

It is higher than other skulls. If it weren't for his posture, Zhan Zhao might not be able to poke him with a shovel.

The situation of this flower garden is that a deep pit was dug first and thirteen corpses were buried. Then half of the soil was spread, and thirteen frost knives were buried. Finally, the other half of the soil was filled back, and a flower garden was built on top.

, plant flowers and grass.

The shadow guards carefully laid some wooden boards on the soil next to the body. Gongsun went down to the pit, stepped on the wooden boards, and inspected the body.

After the preliminary inspection, Gongsun said, "Everyone is missing a little finger on their hand, some are on the left hand and some are on the right hand. The deceased are all adult men. They should not be very old. They are between 20 and 30 years old. They are all practicing martial arts."

The cause of death of all the people was traumatic injuries, some had stab wounds on their necks, some had broken ribs, and some had fractures in many places on their bodies."

Gongsun held a skull and looked at it carefully, his face almost touching the face of the skull.

Zhao Pu was unhappy on the sidelines. He had seen people favoring good people over relatives, but he had never seen people favoring dead people!

"Little Fourth Son." Gongsun said to the Little Fourth Son who was standing on the pit, "Bring some clay to Daddy."

"Oh!" The fourth boy rummaged through his purse and took out a small paper bag.

Stretching out his hand, the fourth son wanted to pass the paper package to Gongsun, but because his hands were short, he couldn't reach it.

Xiao Liangzi took the paper package and jumped down into the pit. He tiptoed on the wooden board and gave the paper package to Gongsun.

Everyone at the pit looked at it curiously—clay? Is it clay in the literal sense?

Some people also looked at the small purse that the fourth son was carrying curiously. This bag didn't look big, but it had everything...

Gongsun opened the paper bag and found a thin piece of off-white, moist and soft clay inside. It was really just ordinary clay.

Gongsun rubbed the clay in his hands, rolled it into a long strip, wrapped it around the skull's eye sockets, and then pressed it gently to spread the clay over the skull's eye sockets.

Xiao Liangzi helped Gongsun hold the skull. He could feel that it had been buried in the ground for a long time. It was very brittle and would break if he applied any force.

After Gongsun finished all this, he raised his head and said to Zhan Zhao, "These withered bones have been buried underground for hundreds of years."

Everyone calculated based on the time that it should be Li She's era... Of course, it was the fake Li She.

In other words, these corpses have nothing to do with any of the current tenants, whether it is Qian Yuan or the families where Qian Yuan lived before. A hundred years ago, this was the ancestral property of the Li family.

Gongsun waited for a while and then gently knocked on the piece of clay. The clay had begun to harden and had a jade-like texture. It felt very hard.

Xiao Liangzi thought it was quite magical.

Gongsun gently picked up the piece of clay and looked carefully. He saw that there were some raised fine marks on the edge of the clay.

Xiao Liangzi also held the head and looked at the eye holes, and found some very fine scratches around the eye sockets.

"Sir, was this scratched with a knife?" Xiao Liangzi asked Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded, pointed to some very shallow drag marks on the clay beside the scratches, and said, "It's the mark where the knife went in and then scratched."

Everyone around the pit frowned.

Gongsun concluded, "The left eyes of these thirteen people have been gouged out."

"Isn't that similar to the case of the floating corpse in West Lake?" Lin Yehuo asked, "Is there a Phoenix statue here? Is there also a wooden sculpture with five eyes on its head?"

The shadow guards said no. They had searched the entire house just now. It seemed that the owner of this house had left suddenly, but the room was very normal, just like an ordinary house.

Mr. Qin asked, "In other words, there was a case of a corpse floating in the West Lake a hundred years ago, but the body was not thrown into the West Lake, so no one knew about it!"

Master Bao and Taishi both felt that this was the case based on the situation at the scene.

"There is another difference." Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun, "Are these people buried together?"

Gongsun also understood what Zhan Zhao meant by the difference, "In the West Lake floating corpse case, one person dies a month."

"Is it possible that these people also die one month and are buried separately?" Zhao Pu asked.

Gongsun thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's not like this pit was dug bit by bit. The corpses are basically lying on the same surface, which means that the pit was dug in one go. If they were dug one by one and buried one by one,

If so, the size of the pit should be suitable for each corpse, so that the skeleton would not be poked by Zhan Zhao, and the pit would be obviously shorter."

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

Gongsun sighed and said that the body had been buried in the ground for too long, and there were no clothes? The clothes were all rotten? Or were they all buried naked?

Now that the case has been investigated, there are more and more problems. I don’t know how long it will take for the clouds to clear up. Is it He Wanfeng’s map?

Speaking of the map, Bai Yutang took it out and looked at it again.

"ah……"

The fifth master suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and ran away.

Everyone was stunned.
