Gu Linqiao paused for a moment, then asked, "Can I see those corpses?"

Feng Yunsu did not answer immediately, turned around and stared at her, "Is your body okay?"

Gu Linqiao said, "I'm just checking the body, and I have Situ to help me, so it'll be fine."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Feng Yunsu didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Because he knew that he couldn't stop Gu Linqiao, and even if he didn't agree, she wouldn't give up. Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to make arrangements.

No matter how anxious Gu Linqiao was, he couldn't see the corpses for a while and could only wait quietly.

That night, she tossed and turned, and as soon as she closed her eyes, the bloody scene of being attacked by a virus in the apocalypse appeared before her eyes, making her uneasy.

Gu Linqiao didn't sleep all night, and the next morning there were large blue holes under his eyes, which made people feel distressed just to look at them.

Fortunately, Feng Yunsu went out early in the morning and did not see her appearance after getting up.

Gu Linqiao rarely put a light layer of powder on her face to cover her complexion, otherwise others would see her and think she was possessed by a ghost last night.

As soon as she finished cleaning up, Liang Shuzhen sent someone to ask her to have breakfast.

Liang Shuzhen never paid attention to her in the past, so if she suddenly calls her, something must be wrong.

Gu Linqiao went directly without delay.

Liang Shuzhen had a few breakfast items prepared, but most of them were Gu Linqiao's favorites.

"Come and eat quickly, or it will get cold in a while."

When Gu Linqiao saw Liang Shuzhen greeting her, she smiled and walked over quickly. After sitting down, she asked directly, "Grandma, what do you want from me?"

"What happened last night?"

Although Liang Shuzhen was old and was no longer in the front yard last night, she was still sharp and clear. She knew that something big must have happened because of the movement last night.

Gu Linqiao said truthfully, "Someone was injured in Kyoto last night. I will go out to see the injuries on the body later."

"What scar?"

Liang Shuzhen was puzzled. There were plenty of people taking care of people's lives in Kyoto, so why did she still go?
"Bite injuries, those people were bitten to death."

Hearing Gu Linqiao's words, Liang Shuzhen's expression changed, "Could it be with your grandfather..."

Liang Shuzhen didn't finish the rest of her words. Gu Linqiao knew what she was going to say. He nodded and said, "I just have suspicions. There is no evidence yet. I have to see the body before I can make a conclusion."

Liang Shuzhen said no more, but no one could hide the worry in her eyes.

She was afraid that Gu Yun would become like this.

Gu Linqiao raised his hand and placed it on the back of her hand, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't let my grandfather become like that. The toxins in his body have been removed bit by bit. He just needs time to recover."

Liang Shuzhen nodded with tears in her eyes. At this time, she was willing to believe Gu Linqiao's words.

Feng Yunsu came back before breakfast was finished. Before Gu Linqiao could ask, Feng Yunsu went straight to the point.

The body has been placed and she can go now.

Gu Linqiao did not hesitate, finished the last bite of snacks, stood up and was about to leave, but just as he stood up, Feng Yunsu held his shoulders and sat down.

"Don't worry, have breakfast with me first."

Gu Linqiao asked in surprise, "You went out so early and didn't have breakfast?"

"It's too early to eat."

Feng Yunsu set the chopsticks obediently and without any politeness. Liang Shuzhen saw that there were not many things left on the table, so she asked someone to put some more on the table.

Gu Linqiao saw that he seemed very hungry, so he didn't leave in a hurry and had breakfast with him quietly.

But halfway through the meal, she couldn't help but ask, "How many people were injured last night?"

Feng Yun said solemnly, "Thirteen, all dead." So many?
There is no injury, only death. If this spreads out, people will definitely be panicked.

"Father already knows that today's morning meeting has been advanced by half an hour."

This is normal. Under the emperor's feet, such a tragic murder occurred during the curfew. No wonder the emperor was furious.

"Why didn't you go to court?"

Gu Linqiao asked belatedly.

"I had people hand over the papers early in the morning. Instead of listening to them talking empty words in the court, it would be better to do practical things."

"Is that how you put it so bluntly?"

Gu Linqiao didn't believe it, but considering how arrogant and domineering Feng Yunsu was in the palace, he could do such a thing.

There are some people in the court who are incapable of doing anything except quarreling with each other.

Obviously, Feng Yunsu was too lazy to get along with them.

After breakfast, Gu Linqiao and Feng Yunsu went out together, and Situ followed them disguised as a accompanying boy.

All the corpses were placed in Yizhuang. Since the murderer had not yet been found, they were under the unified custody of the government.

When they arrived at Yizhuang, it was almost noon. When the guard saw Feng Yunsu coming in person, he was ready to greet him, but Gu Linqiao didn't listen and took Situ in directly.

Feng Yunsu knew what Gu Linqiao meant, so he stood outside and didn't let outsiders in.

"Princess, how do you want to do the autopsy?"

Upon hearing Situ's question, Gu Linqiao took out two pairs of gloves and two masks, one for himself and one for Situ.

"What is this? Why is it so frivolous?"

"Gloves are used for touching patients, and sheep intestines can also be used. You should wear gloves and masks when seeing patients in the future to effectively prevent infectious diseases."

Situ looked at how Lin Qiao put it on, and then imitated his own example. Anyway, what the princess said was definitely right.

Gu Linqiao removed the white cloth from the corpse and began to examine the first corpse.

The corpse looked pale and had several large holes in the neck. From the surface, it appeared that the carotid artery had been bitten and he died of excessive blood loss.

The other corpses are almost the same, except that the left and right sides of the big hole are different.

After Situ read it, he couldn't help but said, "What kind of teeth does this man have? How can he bite such a big hole?"

Human teeth are the strongest part of the body. With great force, you can bite out any kind of wounds.

Although the cause of death was simply determined, Gu Linqiao still used silver needles to test the poison one by one. The first few were fine, but the middle ones were indeed problematic.

After Situ checked it, he touched his chin and said, "Why do I think this is someone trying to fool others?"

Gu Linqiao nodded, "We cannot rule out this possibility. If we want to find out the reason, we have to find out the identities of these people."

After working for several hours, Gu Linqiao's feet were numb, and her body was indeed a little overwhelmed, so she did not continue to check.

When they went out, Feng Yunsu was still standing at the door, but with his back to her. He was tall and straight, and his figure was so handsome in the sunset.

For the first time, she was attracted by his back.

Feng Yunsu noticed her within two steps of her walking out. When she turned around, she had not yet reached him.

"Finished?"

Gu Linqiao shook his head and said, "Come back another day, it won't be finished in one day."

If it were in the past, she would have to work overtime to finish it. First, she was afraid that the body would be damaged over time, and second, she was afraid of being manipulated by others. But now, her physical strength does not allow her to be arrogant.

Seeing that she was really tired, Feng Yunsu picked her up and strode towards the carriage.
