The mortuary is not a pleasant place to be. No matter how bold you are, you still don’t want to live near the mortuary. Therefore, the mortuary in Taiping County was built in an out-of-the-way place.

At that place, Mu Liuyun asked his family's coachman to prepare the car, and asked Yuan Mu to get in the car and sit down first. Then he got in and ordered the coachman to set off.

As the coachman of the Mu family, it is normal for his young master to like to go to the morgue to play with the bones of the dead when he has nothing to do. However, he did not expect that another distinguished guest of the family would also go with him, so he couldn't help but secretly look back at Yuan Yuan.

A few glances.

The Mu family's carriage was naturally much more spacious and comfortable than the ones hired from outside. The coachman was also familiar with the route to the mortuary, and it didn't take long for him to arrive.

I don’t know if it’s because the corpses of the deceased are kept in the mortuary all year round, but the surrounding area seems to be a bit colder than elsewhere.

As usual, the carriage stopped a few feet away from the mortuary. It was already late at this time, and the sky was no longer as bright as before. Even if it was closer, even the young and strong coachman would still feel a little nervous.

Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu got out of the car. The driver looked at the setting sun and said, "Master, shall we pick you up in an hour?"

Mu Liuyun thought about it, nodded, took out the copper coins and handed them to the coachman: "Yes, you can find a teahouse to have tea and rest."

The coachman happily took the copper coins, bowed and thanked him, and drove off. Mu Liuyun stroked the folds on his clothes, held the tool box in one hand, and gestured respectfully to Yuan Mu. Yuan Mu nodded and followed him.

The two people walked towards the morgue.

The person guarding the mortuary is a gray-haired old man, whose surname is also white. Not only his hair and beard are white, but also because of an eye disease that he suffered early on, even the kernels of his eyes are white, and he can only see whole things.

He was so shadowy that he couldn't see clearly.

He was probably out of sight and couldn't see clearly. The old man didn't feel scared even guarding the morgue, so the job fell on him. He was given a lot of firewood and was stronger than the average man.

It's a lot of hard work.

When Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu arrived, Old Man Bai was shaking a tattered big cattail leaf fan and had moved a small wooden stool to sit outside the gate. They didn't know he was in such a gloomy place.

Why do you still feel hot?

Sensing someone coming, Old Man Bai stopped his cattail leaf fan, blinked his cloudy and white eyes, as if trying to see clearly who was walking towards him, and then asked tentatively: "Siili Mu? Is that you?"

Muda people?”

"It's me, it's me." Mu Liuyun knew him well, and his tone was very relaxed and casual, "Is your eyes getting better?"

Old Man Bai smiled and said: "How can it get better! At this time, besides Mr. Mu, no one else would be willing to come to such a place! Mr. Mu is doing this for the body that was just transported here.

Coming?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that something was not right again. His white eyes turned to Mu Liuyun's side, and his face also turned in the direction of Yuan Mu: "Mr. Mu... there are others around you.

Who?"

"Exactly! A Shangguan is coming with me today." Mu Liuyun replied. He didn't intend to explain too much about Yuan Mu's identity. Even if he did, Old Man Bai might not be able to figure it out.

There is really no need to be nervous and scared.

After hearing his answer, Old Man Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that they are human beings! I just saw two shadows in front of me. I thought they had been guarding the morgue for too long. The sun hadn't set down the mountain yet.

There’s a ghost!”

Offending a Shangguan can be a big or small matter, it all depends on whether the person wants to argue with you, especially for a commoner like Lao Baitou. Whether you offend someone in the yamen or not, it all depends on how the person is feeling.

I'm not familiar with you.

Mu Liuyun secretly glanced at Yuan Mu and saw that his expression was calm. He breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the opinions from the outside world were not accurate. They said that Yuan Mu was the "living king of hell" and that he had given up to him as soon as they met.

I started to feel frightened. At the end of the day, although Yuan Mu's intentions were a little unclear, his temper was not so unstable, violent and terrifying, but he seemed to have a good temper.

He had previously treated his wife as a gift for no apparent reason, but now he was regarded as a ghost by Old Man Bai, without even frowning.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. The outside world also said that he was full of birds and birds in the yard, and even took the girl home forcibly because he was greedy for other people’s beauty. He was said to be as if he was a bandit.

!

After saying hello to Old Man Bai, Mu Liuyun stopped delaying. The sky was getting dark now. It was not the best time to come over for an autopsy, but the living person could wait until the next day, but the corpse could not wait.

Mu Liuyun was very familiar with the morgue. When he got here, he didn't have the time to think about Yuan Mu. He went straight in and found the headless female corpse. Then he put down the black wooden box and ran to the next room.

After making a clanging sound, when he came back, he was half-lifting and half-carrying a weird thing.

Underneath that thing is a cast-iron support, about the height of a person. The pole is not completely straight, but has a slight curvature. There is an iron frame about half the size of a morgue, with many hollow holes around it, and many statues hanging in a circle.

The lantern is not a strange thing. The shape looks the same as an ordinary lantern, but the cover is not oil paper or silk, but clear colored glass.

Mu Liuyun was panting heavily and moved the thing to the side of the morgue. Although there was a tall, long-legged master standing next to him, and the outline of his muscles could be vaguely seen through his sleeves, he didn't have the heart of a leopard.

I dare to ask others to help me.

After finally moving to the mortuary bed, he took out a fire stick and lit the lanterns with glass covers one by one. Suddenly, the morgue, which was already dimly lit, became brighter. The headless female corpse was illuminated even brighter than before.

The sun in the corpse place is even brighter and clearer.

This glazed lamp is one of Mu Liuyun's most proud autopsy inventions. Autopsy requires sufficient light, but the sun is too bright and the heat will accelerate the body's decay, covering up many original traces.

This glass lamp is different. Not only is the brightness sufficient, but the hanging position of the glass lamp can also be adjusted to meet all the needs during an autopsy. No matter when an autopsy is required, there is no need to worry about insufficient light.

When everything was ready, Mu Liuyun took out a face towel and covered his mouth and nose, put on linen gloves, pulled away the white cloth covering the headless female corpse, leaned over under the glass lamp and looked at it carefully, his face was very close to the body, and under the face towel,
Chapter completed!
