Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 103: Wei Xi, a Detail-Oriented Person

These words were extremely blunt, and even a fool like Xu Xiangyang, who was oblivious to what was happening outside, couldn't help but find them a little strange.

Lian Gouqie still didn't understand the riddle the two sisters were playing.

Fortunately, Wei Xi added another sentence in time, "Friend Xu, I heard that the coroner always brings several people with him when performing an autopsy. It's just right that the three of us are here, so you don't have to find someone else."

By saying this, Wei Xi had given the secret signal that he wanted to stay.

Qin Feng immediately said, "Friend Xu, you don't know. I always say I want to learn anything I encounter. It's just a matter of words. But what Wei Xi said makes sense. These things must be handed over. The three of us being witnesses can save a lot of trouble."

Wei Xi and Qin Feng echoed each other, and Xu Xiangyang seemed to be somewhat relieved. "It's necessary to have someone accompany you, but the scene is really ugly. I can tell at a glance that you are not medicine cultivators. There is no need to suffer this."

"It's getting late to come here and suffer such trouble," Lian Gou Xie said, glancing at the corpse on the ground. "At least we should finish the autopsy sooner so that this matter can be put to an end. At the very least, Wei Xi can help you!"

Wei Xi could only force a smile.

The three of them worked together and talked a lot of nonsense, which annoyed Xu Xiangyang so much that he finally agreed.

Xu Xiangyang moved quickly, throwing a few handfuls of herbs into the brazier. The smoke rose more and more. He handed a booklet and a pen to Wei Xi, "Could you please write this down for me, Brother Wei, for future reference?"

Wei Xi, who wanted to do something, took the paper and pen stiffly. The cultivators were afraid of trouble, especially the medicine cultivators like Xu Xiangyang. The pens they used were all refined and they brought their own ink, which saved the trouble of grinding ink.

Xu Xiangyang did not start sawing like the three laymen did. Instead, he carefully checked the external injuries on the bodies of several people and asked Wei Xi to record the length, depth, location and other information of these injuries.

Xu Xiangyang was completely absorbed in his own thoughts, while Qin Feng was still thinking about Wei Xi's decision to stay. He watched Xu Xiangyang's movements out of the corner of his eye and quietly moved his feet towards Wei Xi.

What Wei Xi needed at this time was not Qin Feng. She signaled Qin Feng not to act rashly, and asked Ling Yinfei to find Lian Gouye in Qin Feng's aggrieved eyes.

Then he stepped hard on Lian Gou's face.

Lian Gouqie knew that Lingyin, the bald-bottomed bird, would fly wherever Wei Xi wanted, so he caught the orchid bird that Wei Xi raised.

The furious Lingyin bit Lian Gouye fiercely, and the latter let it go, thinking that the bird was as cruel as its owner.

There must be something behind all this commotion. Although Lian Gou Xie was a bit poor, he was still a clear-headed man and knew that Wei Xi must have discovered something.

After a few steps, Lian Gouyue came to Wei Xi's side. After standing still, he used his specialty of making small talk to ask Xu Xiangyang some questions.

In fact, Lian Gou's eyes were always communicating with Wei Xi.

Wei Xi did not stop working. Her handwriting was no longer the scribbles that she had seen when Qin Feng was possessed by Ruo last time. At least at Xu Xiangyang's speaking speed, she could still write down most of the information in recognizable handwriting.

But Wei Xi pointed at the air with his toes, and Lian Gou Xie looked over in confusion.

The body at the edge was pointed towards the toes, with about four or five knife wounds, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.

But this is different from what Wei Xi had just done when he asked Lian Gouqie to steal the bones and blood of the dead. It doesn't seem like Wei Xi had any absurd idea.

Lian Gouqie, who believed in Wei Xi's judgment, could only look at the corpse carefully. Unfortunately, he did not have as sharp eyes as Wei Xi. After looking around, he found that it was just a slightly cleaner corpse and there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing Lian Goujie's reaction, Wei Xi knew that the boy hadn't seen what he asked him to find. While Xu Xiangyang was looking down at the puddle of flesh, Wei Xi pointed to his neck. Lian Goujie then realized that Wei Xi had asked him to look at the corpse's neck.

Of course, he couldn't see the details from where Lian Gou was standing, but since Wei Xi pointed it out, it meant that he could still see it if he tried hard on this side.

With this thought in mind, Lian Gouqie took a step closer to the corpse, pretending to ask Xu Xiangyang questions, but in fact his eyes never left the corpse.

As he got closer, Lian Gouqie took a closer look and almost cried out.

There was a needle hole on the neck of the corpse, which was obviously the mark left by his own flying needle!
Lian Gou thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes and looked again.

The needle holes on the corpse's neck were the marks left by his own flying needles!
Damn it! I saw a ghost under heaven! When did this barbarian ever prick him with a needle?

That's not right! I only used flying needles once when I came to Tangkou Town, when I went with Wei Xi to find Sun Ji. At that time, Wei Xi deliberately rotated the flying needles in the wound to let the guard sleep peacefully.

No wonder Wei Xi asked me to come over and take a look. She probably noticed the wound and thought about what happened that day, so she asked me to come over to confirm it.

Lian Gouqie suddenly realized a problem: these nine corpses were from the Hu merchant caravan, and the guard himself knew what he looked like. Judging from the appearance, this corpse was obviously not that guard!

Wei Xi and Lian Gouyue behaved strangely one after another, and Qin Feng realized that something was wrong. Xu Xiangyang was still answering Lian Gouyue's questions, so Qin Feng quickly took over from Lian Gouyue to distract his attention.

Lian Gouyue gritted his teeth and moved closer to Wei Xi, whispering, "I saw it. What do you want me to do?"

In the eyes of Lian Gouqie and Qin Feng, Wei Xi still had an expression that showed he had the situation under control, but they had no idea of the turmoil in Wei Xi's heart when he discovered the pinhole.

Wei Xi saw with her own eyes that day how Lian Gouqie threw her flying needle into the guard's neck, and she even circled the silver needle in the wound several times.

Therefore, Wei Xi clearly remembered the grooved flying needles of Lian Gouqie and the special needle holes they left.

At that time, it was Wei Xi himself who collected the flying needle and returned it to Lian Gou Xie. In other words, this needle hole would never appear on the body of a second person in Tangkou Town.

Because of the damn Lian Gou's subsequent movements, he didn't have time to stab another person.

What's even more terrifying is that the person who should have been guarding Sun Ji is now lying in a pile of Hu people's corpses in a different appearance.

Just thinking about it made Wei Xi feel cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

What a good trick of replacing one thing with another. It seems that the monk is really related to this group of barbarians as I guessed.

However, it was a little different from what he thought. This monk did not come here after hearing the news leaked by the Hu people, but directly sneaked into the team and entered Tangkou Town. The three forces were fighting in a melee, and this man took advantage of the chaos and escaped with Xu Xiangfang's body.

No, Wei Xi thought, this monk might not be taking advantage of the situation, all of this might be him fanning the flames. He was watching County Magistrate Cheng, the Hu people and his own small team fighting each other in the dark, and finally found someone to replace his identity and cover up his whereabouts.

If the person chosen had not been pierced by the special-shaped flying needle, this move would have been completely flawless.

Qin Feng and Lian Goujie were a little anxious when they saw Wei Xi standing there in a daze, especially Lian Goujie. He felt uncomfortable all over when he saw the needle hole and urgently needed Wei Xi to guide his next move.

"What's going on?" Xu Xiangyang's voice brought Wei Xi back to the scene in front of him.
