"What's more, the bones are still there. Human bones are like the rings of trees. They will record all the things they have experienced in this life bit by bit. When the coroner comes to test it, it is like reading a book of life."

Chi Shi explained, looking at the charred corpse, "Although there are many parts of the body, it is obvious that there is not only one corpse here, but different parts of the two corpses of a man and a woman. They put together and form a person."

As soon as Chi Shi said this, not only the people around him, but even Zhou Xian couldn't help but speak out in surprise.

"This is not one corpse, but two? So where did the remaining corpses go?"

Chi Shi gave Zhou Xian a thumbs up, "This question is very well raised..."

She said, looking at the British Duke with deep eyes, "Well, maybe it may be hidden somewhere in this house. After all, there are corpses in the lotus pond in this house, and corpses in the wheat field... So it is very possible to be inside the pillow, under the bed, or something..."

“Right?”

The British Duke's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help looking back. When he turned around, he glanced at the butler and said hurriedly, "What are you doing in the cold? You haven't counted the number of people and see if there are any missing people in each room!"

"Why do I say it's two corpses? It's obvious that the murderer didn't want to hide this. Just look at the hands and understand. Although it's already burnt, it's obvious that the palms of these two hands are thick and wide, which is the man's palm."

"The other one is relatively smaller. Not only is the hand, but the lengths of the two legs are also different. The head belongs to men, but the pelvis belongs to women. Based on these, I can be sure that there are two corpses of a man and a woman who are mixed together."

"The murderer who is so standard one person has divided half of it and just makes a complete person must have a special meaning. It's like some special ceremony."

Chi Shi said, splitting the bodies that formed the complete man.

"Look at the female deceased first. The female deceased is short and far smaller than an ordinary girl," Chi Shi said, frowned, and looked at the British Duke's wife who had arrived at the British Duke at some time.

"Although I can't identify it clearly,..." Before Chi Shi finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged woman scattering her hair and running over with tears in her eyes. "Dude, Wu Niang is gone. It must be Wu Niang. I got up early this morning and didn't see her..."

Chi Shi listened and looked at Zhou Xian, Wu Niang? Could it be the girl who wanted to marry her just now?

The British Duke was stunned and blurted out, "Impossible. When I was eating together tonight, the housekeeper clearly told me that everyone was complete." But after he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and asked, "Fifth Lady is gone, why don't you tell me?"

The woman sobbed a few times with a veil, "This child has been worried these days, and I don't know what he is thinking. Because of the birthmark on her face, she rarely goes out and is always in the attic. There were times when she disappeared..."

"I know that she wanted to find a quiet corner in the mansion and secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It's all my fault. When she was pregnant, she ate randomly and made her give birth to different people."

"But today, the bell rang, and everyone went to the main courtyard, and Wu Niang didn't come back. So I called her maid Xiao Cui, put on her clothes, and went to have dinner... I thought she would come back at night..."

"But I...I heard the body was found here..."

The woman said, pretending to be brave enough to look at the burnt corpse here. She only glanced at her, then held her waist and vomited from the side.

Chi Shi looked at it and shook her head. She took out a pair of tweezers from the brocade bag she was wearing, walked to the feet of the corpse, and gently fiddled it a few times, revealing a golden anklet, with a small bell hanging on it with an invisible color.

"Are you wearing a golden anklet on Xu Wuniang's feet with a small bell hanging on it?" Chi Shi raised his head and asked.

The woman was stunned and burst into tears, "Wu Niang, it's my poor daughter, that's Wu Niang's! She heard the nanny in the palace say that everyone should smile without showing their teeth and keep silent, so she wears a copper bell on weekdays."

"Her brothers looked at her and called her a golden bell on her birthday! It's Wu Niang's!"

Chi Shi frowned as he heard this, "Although it's already burnt, the female corpse is pregnant, and the fetus in her belly has been formed. Judging from the size of her belly, it's at least more than six months."

Zhou Xian listened, took a lantern from the servant beside him and illuminated the belly of the corpse. Before, everyone was only scared by the charred state. No one dared to look at it, but he did not find that there was one of the corpse, which was obviously abnormally bulging.

The body was cut into pieces, and the piece with the pelvis was as large as the head. The upper part was cut off, looking like a black bowl that was stretched open.

Zhou Xian held his breath and brought the lantern closer.

In that "black bowl", you can see a black and small figure.

It lies inside, as if it knows nothing about the outside world, but just falls asleep quietly.

Screams around him came one after another, and Zhou Xian silently recited a passage of sutra for salvation, sighed, and took back the lantern.

The British Duke was already as dark as a pot at this moment. For the first time, he hated him that he was much higher than most people in this mansion.

It is obvious that on weekdays, when the whole family eats late, it is the happiest time for him to see the small mountains. The feeling of looking at the smallest mountains makes him feel that he is not just a good life to protect his ancestors.

When he was choosing his wife, he chose the shortest, ordinary British lady among the many girls at a glance.

He felt that in this case, someone would have to look up to him for the rest of his life and would have no position to call him a useless dog.

He is at least tall, right?

But now, he hated that he was taller.

Because when the sky fell, he, a tall man, needed to support him, and everyone was counting on him.

"What are you still standing there? Don't surround me here to affect the handling of the case of the King of Chu's mansion. Everyone goes back to their own house. His Highness the King of Chu will not be able to come out. Keep your mouth shut, and you will not be able to spread the matter today, otherwise!"

The British Duke shouted, and the Xu family had been scared by what is happening now, so no one was willing to stay here. In a short while, the vast crowd dispersed.

Only the British Duke was left behind, Xu Huan and Liu Ming, Xu Wuniang's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, and his father Xu Guangping.

"Is Xu Wuniang pregnant?" Chi Shi asked.
