45. Chapter 45

The identity of the nephew of the King of Kucha only slightly curbed the fat man's arrogance. The thin man still swept his suspicious eyes to Cui Bugu and others from time to time.

After all, this is Qiemo City. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Not to mention that Gao Yi, an official of the Sui Dynasty, was not taken seriously by them, the King of Kucha would not send a large army to pick up his nephew. The strong dragon could not defeat the local snake. Not to mention that Cui Bulu is just the nephew of the King of Kucha now. Even if he is the King of Kucha himself, Duan Qihu and Xingmao still have a hundred ways to keep them here forever and do it perfectly.

Both bodies were parked in the charity house at this time. Gao Yi felt unlucky and of course he would not go to the charity house to see the corpse, so he asked someone to use a cart to transport the corpse to the front yard.

The weather was not hot, and the corpse was parked overnight. There was not much odor at the moment. Moreover, both of them were burned to death, and the bodies were already charred. From the outside, it was difficult to see any clues.

With the fat man's expression on his face, "I want to see how you autopsy", Cui Bulu walked around the two corpses and waved to Fengxiao: "A Feng, isn't this your strength? Come and take a look!"

Fengxiao:...

A faint burning smell floated into my nose, and Feng Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Master Lang, I have ten slender fingers. The nail polish I just put on yesterday, can I say, please check it out?"

Cui Bugu smiled slightly and was surprisingly easy to talk: "Of course."

He did not avoid filth, and stretched out his hand and placed it directly on the corpse, and began to test it little by little.

Cui Buqun groped up from his chest. The clothes on the body were burned into pieces of powder, and some were attached to it. It didn't feel good to touch. However, the people next to him were creepy. The fat man and the thin man couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs. Even Gao Yi retreated slightly to the door. Cui Buqun still looked as usual, as if he was touching a beautiful woman with jade-like skin, not a dead person who could not even recognize her original face.

Fengxiao has great martial arts skills, and his intelligence and talent claim that he can be ranked among the top few in the world, but he just doesn't know how to take a corpse. However, Cui Buqun described him as a family-based identity. He had to play with him. Seeing Cui Buqun groping for the body, he asked, "How about the upper body?"

Cui Buqu: "There is no scar on the front chest, the back..."

He turned up the body.

With a click, a piece of arm fell to the ground.

Everyone:...

Cui Buqu said innocently: "I don't use much force."

He said to Fengxiao again: "A Feng, pick up your arm and give it to me."

Qiao Xian quickly left his head so that Gao Yi and the others would not find the gloating in their eyes.

Feng Xiao held his forehead and said, "Ah, my head suddenly became dizzy. Master, I remembered it. The doctor said that our child is still young now and cannot touch the evil things. I still listen to the doctor. You don't want your child to be missing arms and legs after birth, right?"

Cui Bu Go:...

He stared at Feng Xiao's belly for a moment, then turned his head expressionlessly, and continued to observe the body.

"The bones on the back are intact and there are no scars." Cui Buqu turned over the body.

The fat man couldn't help but say, "It turns out that you've watched it for a long time and didn't find out at all?"

Skinny: "Isn't this delaying our time?"

Fatty: "Ming Mansion, I think there must be something wrong with Li Fei's death. I also ask the Ming Mansion to detain these four people first and interrogate them carefully. According to my opinion, it is better to send someone to Kucha to ask if the King of Kucha really has a nephew. Otherwise, they must be the murderer, and they must have killed Li Fei at the instruction of someone!"

The thin man was unhappy: "What is instructive? Make it clear, don't criticize me if you have the ability!"

Fatty: "Who did I say?"

Seeing that the two were about to get started again, Gao Yi was already used to preparing to mix up. Not to mention Cui Bulu’s face just now, even if the other party was a fake liar, he was not interested in meddling in other people’s business.

As early as when he came here and found that it was divided up by Duan Qihu and Xingmao, Gao Yi extinguished his spirit of striving for progress. After these years, it doesn’t matter if he can leave here, even if he goes to a county within the pass, it is probably better than staying here. In Qiemo, although he can get a lot of bonuses from Duan Qihu and Xingmao every year, the feeling of being in a dilemma is really uncomfortable.

Cui Buqu’s slow voice came from beside him: “Although these two people have no scars on their chests and backs, they were indeed murdered first and then burned to death.”

The three of them were stunned, and the fat man and the thin man didn't care about quarrel.

"Don't just talk nonsense, exaggerate!"

Cui Bulu said, "Look at his mouth."

He pried open the mouth of one of the corpses, and Gao Yi couldn't help but look forward to observe it with curiosity. The fat man and the thin man had to endure the disgust and approached him.

"If you are burned to death by fire, your mouth and nose will inevitably inhale the ashes and wood chips, but the mouths of these two people are clean and ill, which shows that they were burned to death after death."

Gao Yi didn't want to interfere in this matter before. After hearing that the two of them were burned to death, they did not doubt the authenticity. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask: "Then how they died, can you tell?"

Cui Bugu touched the back of the corpse's neck and paused: "A Feng, come and take a look."

"Just tell me." Feng Xiao just thought he deliberately cheated him and didn't come forward even if he beat him to death.

Cui Bulu turned around and suddenly smiled at him, saying gentlely: "Human life is at stake. Only by finding out the truth can we clear the deceased. Ah Feng, I know that since the child has disappeared, you have been very sad. You always think that the child is still in your womb, so we must accumulate more good deeds for the dead children. Do you think?"

Feng Xiao's mouth twitched:... You are cruel.

Cui Bugu raised his eyebrows: Who told you to lie? I can’t help you to fulfill your lies? If you don’t get over, I will take more damage to it.

After a moment of eye contact between the two, Feng Xiao finally reluctantly moved his steps, walked to the corpse, endured the disgust and stretched out his hand to grop the back of the corpse.

After a while, he said, "There is a crack in the neck bone at the back of the neck. The murderer's technique is very clever. He should have practiced the hand skills. The bones were broken and not displaced. If he had not carefully explored, it would be impossible to discover it."

Gao Yi called the coroner to check, and it was exactly the same as what Cui Bulu Fengxiao said.

The fat man immediately started yelling: "I said someone must be murdering. Li Fei only manages business in a pawnshop and rarely goes out. Who can he have such a deep hatred with? This is clearly someone who wants to cut off the wings of my lord!"

The thin man said angrily: "If you have the ability, just name it. Please don't be fooled by others here!"

Fatty: "So what if you ask for a name? In this city, who doesn't know that Duan Qihu's Vajra fingering technique can break gold and jade with one hand?"

The thin man sneered: "If our lord wants to kill someone, why bother to do it yourself? Do you have any brains?"

Gao Yi was dizzy because of the quarrel, and couldn't help but shout: "Shut up!"

The fat man and the thin man finally didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he kept silent when he heard this.

Gao Yi: "The truth of this case is not clear. You don't have to have a meaningless dispute here. I'll send someone to investigate it carefully. If there is any result, I'll tell you."

After much persuasion, they finally sent the two of them away.

Looking at Gao Yi's relaxed expression, Cui Buqun smiled and said, "Gaoming Mansion should be the lord of a city, so why bother to look at others' expressions?"

Gao Yi also had a good temper. When he heard this, he was not angry, but instead smiled bitterly: "Horse Shang doesn't know what it means. This city is controlled by Xingmao and Duan Qihu for a long time. Even if I was appointed by the court, I am not able to meet my strength."

Cui Buqiu: "My uncle, the King of Kucha, ordered me to travel to the Central Plains, so I went to the Great Sui and Southern Chen. I found that the north was more prosperous than the South. I believe that in a short time, the Great Sui would be able to unify the north and south. At that time, no matter whether Duan Qihu or Xingmao, how could it be the opponent of the Great Sui Iron Army? Gaoming Mansion should be cheered up."

Gao Yi thought to himself that the court was helpless even the Turks, so how could he care about the little Qiemo City? But he was an official of the Sui Dynasty, so he naturally couldn't destroy his prestige in front of outsiders, so he responded casually twice.

He definitely wouldn't have thought that just a short time later, it was the sick young man who claimed to be the nephew of the King of Kucha, who pinched his throat and spoke with his wife, who was strange and deeds, who seemed to have hidden illnesses, pacified Qiemo City in one fell swoop, gathered the three forces, officially included this place into the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, and accomplished something that Gao Yi could not do.

At this time, Gao Yi naturally would not know how scary the real origin of these four people. He heard Qiao Xian ask: "Duan Qihu, the horse thief, why can he dominate the area in Qiemo City and get so many people following him?"

Gao Yi: "I don't know very well. I heard that he is very good at buying people's hearts. Even if he gets a copper coin, he has to break a few pieces to share with his subordinates. It will naturally win people's hearts. This person is a heroic talent. Not only does one-third of the transactions in this city belong to him, but even his martial arts are said to be able to rank among the top experts."

In comparison, although Xingmao occupied the legacy left by the previous generation of King Shanshan, and had more soldiers, horses, money and food than Duan Qihu, he barely maintained a situation of even power, which shows that he was still slightly inferior to Duan Qihu.

The case is insane, and it is difficult to track down other clues except for the scars behind the neck of the corpse. There will definitely be no result in a short period of time. Gao Yi was unintentionally investigated, so he naturally would not make things difficult for Cui to go to them, so he asked them to go back first, just to not leave Qiemo for the next few days so that they can summon and inquire at any time.

Feng Xiao asked Gao Yi to have a basin of clean water. He washed his hands with pancreas for at least ten times. He still felt it smelled, so he wanted to find a powder shop to buy a few scent bags to rub his hands.

Qiao Xian couldn't help but sarcastic: "I really treat myself as a sissy!"

Feng Xiao: "Do you look down on yourself or Jinlian?"

Qiao Xian rolled her eyes and Jinlian teased, "Although I am a sissy, I am not as particular as you."

Feng Xiao: "I am happy and look happy with others. I choose the former."

Cui Bugu felt bored in the inn, so he might as well walk outside for more, so he asked Qiao Xian and Jinlian to take the lead, and he followed Feng Xiao to buy incense bags.

In order to take a shortcut, the two of them passed through an alley that only allowed them to shoulder, so that they did not have to go around a long way to reach their destination.

Unexpectedly, this miserable decision made Feng Xiao see an old acquaintance.

A white shadow floated in a hurry at the corner ahead.

A counselor of the King of Jin and a monk Yuxiu.

But this time he was not walking alone, and there was another person next to him.

Seeing that the four of them were about to meet soon, it was too late to retreat. With Yuxiu's cunning and eyesight, it may not be impossible to see the suspicious points from their disguise.

Feng Xiao pulled his clothes to both sides without stopping, and then forced Cui Bu to press on him.

He was still gasping for breath: "My husband, don't be so anxious. It's in broad daylight. How can you see people when you let me go out!"

Cui Bu Go:...
