no soul

Chapter 042

In the darkness, Wan Guchuan heard a "rustling" sound behind him, and then, the bed behind him sank, and his quilt was torn off.

Wan Guchuan: "..."

Lin Hong lay down behind him and covered him with a quilt, "No, it's too scary, I dare not sleep alone."

"Stack a little inside." Lin Hong pushed him.

Wan Guchuan was silent for a while, then complied.

Lin Hong arched, adjusted a comfortable posture, and nestled behind his back.

Wan Guchuan could feel the temperature emanating from him, it was very warm.

Lin Hong said he was afraid, but after nestling behind him, his breathing became even.

Asleep and fell asleep, his forehead rested on Wan Guchuan's back.

Wan Guchuan barely closed his eyes in the second half of the night, and he didn't dare to move. His attention was all behind his back, and his thoughts fluctuated with Lin Hong's breathing.

It's obviously not the first time we've slept together...

It's terrible...

"Tell me, Emperor Jinghe is in the capital, what is Concubine Yunting doing in the South China Sea?" Lin Hong never thought about it.

The two went to the deck again.

"I don't know." Wan Guchuan yawned.

Lin Hong looked at him, "Aren't you asleep?"

Wan Guchuan glanced at him, can he sleep well?

Lin Hong thought for a while, "Did I sleepwalk and hit you last night?"

"..." Wan Guchuan: "No. You continue to talk."

"Hmm... we can only ask her about this matter. You said yesterday that Yunting would come to see us, but we didn't come." Lin Hong said.

Wan Guchuan said: "At that time, the people in the casino didn't have any doubts, and there is no guarantee that they won't doubt it in the future. They will report it to her no matter what."

Lin Hong was thinking, "Is the concubine Chen Chao buried with her?"

"No, the patriarchal law of the Chen Dynasty was strict, and only the emperor and the princes could be buried with her." Wan Guchuan said, "Do you suspect that Yun Ting wants the people on the boat to be buried with her?"

"Exactly, Concubine Yunting won't live long anyway, and invited so many people to board the boat abnormally, and the boat just sank again, I think...she is very suspicious."

Lin Hong continued: "But why did she go to such lengths to send her men to kill a prostitute? ——I think it must have something to do with Yu'er's lover."

"Hey, tell me," Lin Hong slammed into Wan Guchuan, "Could it be that they fell in love with the same person, Yu'er's lover, and then killed each other? That Jing and Di are very green."

"I don't know." Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong frowned and rubbed his chin, "But why did Yunting take away Yu'er's internal organs..." If you kill him, what do you do with the internal organs?Special hobby?

"Don't you know that human internal organs can be used as medicine?" A voice suddenly sounded.

The two of them saw that it was Yu Tianyi.

This man is always elusive.

Yu Tian was also leaning on the table, holding a wine jar in his hand and pouring wine into his wine gourd.Her voice was cold, her eyes were cold, and she had a sneer, like a beautiful evil ghost.

Lin Hong nodded solemnly, "I really don't know."

Yu Tianyi: "..."

"So you mean that Yunting dug up Yu'er's internal organs to treat himself?" Lin Hong asked.

"Yeah." Yu Tian also said, "And fresh offal, eat it raw. When I saw her sick yesterday, I knew she killed her."

No wonder the murderer took away the internal organs immediately after killing someone.

If Concubine Yunting is still looking for medicine, does it mean that she still has the desire to survive?Is the saying of being buried with him invalid?

Lin Hong had no idea, "Is this... internal organs really useful? Can it be cured?"

"It's useless." Yu Tian also put down the wine jar and picked up his own wine gourd, "She can't be cured, she is going to die of illness."

"What else does Sister Yu know, why don't we exchange clues?" Lin Hong said.

Anyway, if you fulfill the ghost's last wish, you can go out, there is no competition.

Yu Tian also shook his wine gourd, "What do you know?"

"We know..." Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan, "What do we know?"

Wan Guchuan: "..."

"Oh, the ghosts on the boat are trapping souls." Lin Hong remembered, "It should be the person who intentionally sunk the boat."

"One?" Yutian also asked.

"Hmm...maybe or maybe not..." Lin Hong said.

Yu Tian also said: "It means that it is enough to find the living soul and kill it?"

Lin Hong: "...I didn't mean that."

"What else?" Yu Tian also raised his brows, with a look of "that's it".

Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan.

Wan Guchuan: "No more." Yu Tian also knew about the murder of concubine Yunting.

"..." Lin Hong rubbed his nose.

Yu Tian also took a sip of the wine, frowning, apparently feeling that the wine was not to her liking, turned over his hand, and poured all the wine in the wine gourd on the ground, "It's up to me."

She threw away the remaining wine in the wine gourd with extreme disgust, "I went to a class below the deck."

"It looks heavily guarded, but it's actually a coward's belt, so I sneaked in easily." Yu Tianyi began to look for wine on the table again. "Below the deck is where the boatmen live."

"Dark, damp, dirty, with the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of water." Yu Tianyi raised another jar of wine, "The boatmen live in a crowded place, and they work in shifts during the day, but the rest time is very short, just enough to catch their breath .”

The deck is magnificent, full of nightly singing, delicacies and fine wines, while the bottom of the ship is dark and humid, the boatmen are sweating profusely shouting slogans, stirring the big oars with their arms, dragging a boat of people across the north and south...

"If it were me, I would hate it to death." Yu Tianyi tasted the wine first this time, and it tasted passable before she began to pour wine into her wine gourd.

Lin Hong asked her, "So you suspect that the boatman sank the boat?"

Yu Tianyi stared at the poured wine in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows."

"It's unlikely," Wan Guchuan said, "The shipwreck caused Jing Hedi to punish the nine boatmen. They are not that stupid."

"That doesn't rule out some individuals." Yu Tianyi filled her wine gourd again.

"It's always a way of thinking." Lin Hong said.

"You guys continue to wait for Yunting, I want to go shopping again." Yu Tian also heard what they said just now, she didn't want to be with them, took a sip of wine, and passed them by.

"There is another question. If Yun Ting wants to treat internal organs, why would he choose Yu'er when there are so many people on board?" Wan Guchuan asked him.

Lin Hong also couldn't figure it out, "I have no clue."

Wan Guchuan looked in the direction of Hualou.

The flower building has returned to normal, and the embroidered handkerchiefs on the carved windows are like clouds, completely unaffected by the murder. "Let's go ask about Yu'er's death."

Right now this is not clear.

"Okay." Lin Hong seconded, "Find out her lover first, and I should be able to know something."

The flower building is exquisite, and it is only at noon, and there are also high-rise red-sleeved guests.

"My lord, come in and play~" The graceful girl was beckoning at the door, and when she saw Wan Guchuan, her eyes lit up and she posted it, "Oh, you are so handsome~"

Wan Guchuan avoided her, "Not a guest, let's investigate the case."

The girl posted an empty post, but she was not annoyed, with a smile on her red lips, and beautiful eyes, "Then, do you want to check me by the way~"

Wan Guchuan: "No."

girl:"……"

Lin Hong smiled and said, "I won't quarrel with my sister today, is the bustard here?"

"Oh, this young man really looks good when he smiles." The girl leaned towards Lin Hong.

Wan Guchuan looked over, "Girl."

The girl paused, pursed her mouth, and said the real murderer in her heart, and reluctantly shouted inside, "Mother Bai, someone is looking for you."

"Oh, who is looking for me~ There are still people who care about me these days~" The old bustard walked out with a swaying bloated body, smiling, and looked up at the two of them, "Hey! The two handsome young masters that day."

"I want to ask you some more questions about the case." Lin Hong said.

The madam asked in surprise, "Isn't the case closed?"

It is impossible for Concubine Yunting to be caught, so there must be a scapegoat.

"Who is the murderer?" Wan Guchuan asked.

The bustard: "Suicide."

Wan Guchuan: "..."

Lin Hong: "..."

Lin Hong had a headache, "How is this possible?"

Is Chen Chao already corrupted to this point?

The old bustard sighed, "Go in and talk."

On the way, they passed the courtyard, where a luxurious crystal sedan chair with a white mantle and light cage was parked—it was the one used by Concubine Yunting to go out at the ceremony.

"Is Concubine Yunting here?" Lin Hong asked.

The old bustard replied: "Not here."

Lin Hong pointed to the crystal sedan chair, "Then why is her sedan chair here?"

"Oh," the old bustard raised his handkerchief, "This sedan chair belongs to Hualou, and I lent it to Concubine Yunting for use yesterday."

"I didn't expect Hualou to be quite impressive." Lin Hong said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" The bustard was very proud, "Young master, don't underestimate us."

A few servants were taking care of the exquisite sedan chair.

Wan Guchuan took a look.

The three sat in a box.

"I love Yu'er the most. Although there are people on board who can't afford to offend, I'm still upset that this case has been closed so hastily." The old bustard waved back the girls who brought tea.

"I don't think the two of you are ordinary people, so I hope you can help her to understand." The madam forced a smile, "You can ask anything you want to know, and I will tell you everything."

It seemed that the bustard had something to hide that day.

"Do Yunting and Yu'er know each other?" Wan Guchuan cut to the chase.

The old bustard paused when she heard the words, then glanced at the window and then at the door. She looked very cautious, and said to them in a low voice: "They are lovers."

"Huh?" Lin Hong was also taken aback.So Yu'er's lover is Concubine Yunting? ?

Then why did Yunting kill her lover if she wanted to cure her illness?

The old bustard sighed: "This is absolutely confidential. Last time you asked me if Yu'er had regular customers, I dare not say."

"I would like to hear the details." Wan Guchuan said.

"In the past, Yu'er was a maidservant of Prince Jinghou's Mansion, that is, Concubine Yunting's family. Later, King An fell in love with her beauty and made her a concubine." The old bustard took a sip of the tea in his hand.

She continued: "Later, King An's premeditated rebellion was revealed. This is a serious crime to punish the nine clans!"

"Concubine Yunting was already the Holy Majesty's favorite concubine at that time, and she took great pains to save Yu'er's life."

"It's just that the rebellion made Emperor Jinghe very angry. The death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime is inevitable. Yu'er, as a family member of a criminal minister, was pretended to be an official prostitute. When the 'Tun Lang' was completed, she came to the flower building on this boat." .”

"'Tun Lang' was built for nine months, and went to sea [-] times in total. Concubine Yunting took the boat [-] times, all to see her." The old bustard put down the teacup.

Lin Hong was amazed.Thinking of the phrase "Concubine Yunting happened to be on the boat when the boat sank", I am afraid that "not on the boat" would be more "just in time".

"Concubine Yunting, as a woman, cannot go in and out of the flower building. The meeting between the two is also a secret matter. Every time, concubine Yunting's subordinates send a message, and Yu'er claims to be sick. At night, Concubine Yunting's subordinates come to pick up Yu'er , and sent her back in the early morning."

"There has never been an accident so many times. This time, Yu'er died after returning." The old bustard felt a little sad again.

"Yu'er is a hard-working person. She has always been well-behaved. I love and pity her as if she is her own..." The old bustard couldn't help sobbing again.

"My sister's condolences." Lin Hong didn't know how to comfort her.

Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan, "So, Concubine Yunting should cherish Yu'er very much, why would she kill her?"

"Master, you mean that concubine Yunting killed Yu'er?" The old bustard looked unbelievable.

"That's how I speculate." Lin Hong said.

"Impossible! You didn't see the way Yunting looked at Yu'er... Also, you don't know how risky it was to plead for the family members of the rebellious minister, how could Yunting kill her..." The bustard begs to disagree.

Lin Hong said: "Uh... don't get excited, we are just speculating."

The old bustard was silent for a while, "But it's not impossible for you to say that. Isn't Concubine Yunting sick? I heard that human internal organs can be used as medicine. Will she..." The old bustard didn't dare to think about it.

Wan Guchuan stood up and asked the madam to resign, "Thank you for letting me know, we will continue to investigate."

Walk out of the flower building.

Wan Guchuan said to Lin Hong: "Remember what I said, Yunting couldn't accept that he was going to die."

"En." Lin Hong replied.

"She can do things like burying a boat full of people, and she can also do things like digging out the internal organs of a sweetheart, not to mention that she gave Yu'er's life in the first place." Wan Guchuan said.

"Although, what a real scum." Lin Hong was amazed.

Lin Hong thought for a while, "It's just that if they had a private meeting at night, why would Yun Ting send her back and then kill her, wouldn't it be better to just kill her during the private meeting?"

Wan Guchuan said: "It's the same wherever you kill, maybe you don't want to see her die in front of you, or maybe you still want to hide the fact that you killed her, after all, if it is heard by Jing Hedi, who saved and killed her again, you will inevitably become suspicious." .”

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced." Lin Hong suddenly felt that what he glimpsed at the Autumn Dew Festival was a pile of shit.

Bah, bah, bah, I actually said it looks so good to a pile of shit.

He patted Wan Guchuan, "Fortunately, you covered my eyes."

Wan Guchuan: "Well, I have expected it."

Lin Hong: "Blow it, you can blow it."

"Do you really believe it?" Wan Guchuan asked him.

"Huh?" Lin Hong was puzzled.

Wan Guchuan smiled, "The above are all what the bustard wants us to think."

Lin Hong looked at him.

Wan Guchuan said: "She is lying."
