Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Chapter 65
The days of rest passed by in the blink of an eye. All the medicine prescribed by the doctor had been taken, and the injuries on Mara's body were almost healed. When the holiday was over, Mara was ready to go as usual.

The gate of the Zhenfu Division was still grand and bright, and the Jinyiwei inside was still in a hurry. Mo Luo walked into the main hall and came to Yuge's room.

At this time, Yuge had just left the morning court, and she changed out of her court attire. The red Jinyiwei Feiyu suit was shining brightly in the morning sun.

"Master Yuge, my subordinates are here to report."

"Um"

Yu Ge glanced at Mo Luo, slowly picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip before continuing to ask:
"How are you resting these days?"

"Thank you, Master Yuge, for your relationship. Your subordinates are resting well."

Mo Luo stood up straight and said naturally, while Yuge looked at Mo Luo to confirm that she was resting well, and then said:
"Now that you've rested, there's something you need to investigate with Ah Wu. She's in the west room now, so go find her."

When Mo Luo heard what Yu Ge said, he didn't say anything nonsense. He just bowed and bowed before turning around and walking out of the room.

Mo Luo didn't know what Yuge arranged for her, and she was fine today, so she went directly to the west room.

At this time, Ah Wu was looking at the rows of corpses in the west room, only to hear a knock on the door, and then a person said:

"Sister Wu, Lord Yuge asked me to come with you."

It was Mo Luo who was standing outside talking. After getting permission, she opened the door and came in, but when she entered, she smelled a pungent and unpleasant smell—the smell of dead bodies.

Mo Luo took a deep breath and went in. As soon as he entered the room, he looked around and saw the rows of corpses lying on the ground.

As a result, someone handed him a piece of handkerchief and tied it on his cheek, and then he spoke:
"Why did so many people die?"

Jin Yiwei at the side gave way to Mo Luo and explained:

"You didn't know it while you were resting a few days ago, but there was an unsolved case in the palace."

"Oh?"

After hearing what the other party said, Mo Luo became interested and looked at one of the corpses that was already stiff. It had obviously been dead for a while.

"What kind of cold case is it?"

Jin Yiwei glanced at Ah Wu, and found that her gaze was still on those corpses, and she didn't intend to speak, so he continued:

"Recently, a lot of attendants have died in succession in the palace!"

"They're all men."

Mara glanced at the corpses lying in rows and said.

The Jin Yiwei nodded, glanced at the corpses and then said:

"That's right, they are all servants, most of them are of low status and do some cleaning work, but the cause of their death is the same"

Mo Luo was listening carefully, but she felt that the man stopped talking at the critical moment, looked at her helplessly and said:
"Why are you showing off at such a critical moment?"

The man really wanted to tell a story and create a sense of suspense, but then he thought that this was not a street story, and Master Ah Wu was still there, so it was not a lie at this time! "

"Scared to death?"

Mo Luo repeated the cause of death with some doubts, and said to himself:
"Is there anything scary in the palace?"

"Hey, several people have already died. This matter alarmed Her Majesty the Empress, so she ordered us to investigate."

At this time, Ah Wu had finished checking again. She stood up, took off her gloves, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, show her the condition of the corpse recorded by Wu Zuo. Let's go to the palace in the afternoon."

The person Ah Wu was talking about was naturally Wan Mo Luo. After saying that, she left the west room and headed towards Yu Ge's room. Mo Luo looked at her leaving back and didn't know if she had discovered anything.

It's just that it's useless to think too much at this time, so I read the files with other Jinyiwei. The other Jinyiwei have read these files countless times in the past few days, but this is the first time for Maruo to come into contact with them.

She opened the file of the first victim according to the time of the incident, and saw that the victim's name and basic information were simply written in it, and the cause of his death was read below——

Excessive fright caused the liver and gallbladder to rupture and died.

In short, scared to death? !
"It's really scary."

Mo Luo muttered in a low voice, then looked back, the people behind were similar, and the cause of death was also panic.

It's just that this file is not very detailed. It only briefly introduces the name and age of the victim, the time, cause and place of death, and the rest is unknown.

Mo Luo read it once and then again, and couldn't help but sigh after watching it for the fourth time - no wonder everyone in Jinyiwei couldn't see anything.

Sure enough, nothing useful can be seen from this information.

So Mara put down the file and walked to the row of corpses. There were nine corpses in total. Each corpse had no external injuries, but even if some of them closed their eyes, their expressions were ferocious and terrifying. , not to mention that some of them were still staring.

If you look at it a few more times, you'll probably have nightmares.

Mara checked, and the only thing he could confirm was that these people were just low-level sweeping servants. They were wearing the clothes uniformly worn by servants, which were plain gray and rough clothes. They were the lowest-level servants in the palace. Only coolie slaves would wear it.

It's not like those slaves who follow behind the master don't all wear good materials.

Mo Luo had seen people who were frightened to death before, but this time it was the first time that so many people died, and just after reading the file, everyone died at a different location.

In this way, if it is the same thing that scared them to death, I am afraid that this thing is still wandering around the palace.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Her Majesty the Queen wants Jin Yiwei to solve the case as soon as possible. There is an unknown thing in this palace that can scare people to death at any time. At present, those who are scared to death are still some low-status servants.

If this unknown strange thing intensifies and becomes unfavorable to the master in the future, then the loss outweighs the gain.

And people in the palace were panicked because of this incident, and rumors of ghosts spread like wildfire. Now no one is willing to take the initiative to keep watch at night, fearing that they will be the next unlucky person who will be scared to death.

After reading the corpses and files all morning, and adding Jin Yiwei's explanation, Mo Luo had a general understanding of the matter, but it was useless to just talk on paper all the time.

We still need to go into the palace under the leadership of Ah Wu in the afternoon to see where the crimes occurred to see if there are any traces left.

Mara didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world. If there were ghosts in the world, she had been an assassin for so many years and had assassinated so many people that she would have crawled out and dragged her by the feet.

It's just that she's not sure if there are ghosts in this world. She hasn't been exposed to any supernatural events before and doesn't think about it. Now is the time to know more about this world.

In fact, Mara still doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world. If there are ghosts, then this person will more or less encounter a few hungry people begging for food when walking on the road at night.

However, she still took a cowardly Jin Yiwei's amulet, which Gu said was her father who went to the temple to ask for it when he learned that there might be ghosts and gods on this mission.

I begged for a few more and brought them with me, in case I really encountered some kind of ghost or ghost, at least it would save my life.

Faced with others taking out the life-saving item to share with him, Mo Luo thanked him, put the amulet in his arms and kept it carefully, feeling a little good for the little sister in his heart.

After lunch, the group was led into the palace by Ah Wu. Ah Wu showed his token to the guards at the entrance of the palace, and then they walked along the long palace road.

Everyone has a map of the palace in their hands, which only marks the approximate palace garden and location, and focuses on the crime scenes.

Ah Wu assigned the tasks as she walked. Mo Luo was assigned to a crime scene in the southern palace, and following her was the Jin Yiwei who gave herself one of the amulets.

Mo Luo vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be called Li Dan, who usually didn't talk much, but at this time the two of them had walked into a lush forest.

The palace is very large, and there are several places with rugged trees and rocks, while some places are lush and lush, and the scenery in each place is different. It can be said that the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and all over the world has been integrated into one imperial palace.

But now neither of them is in the mood to look at the scenery, Mo Luo is in a hurry to hurry, and Tan Mian is purely afraid.

Today is a cloudy day, with thick dark clouds making the sky look very low, as if heavy rain will fall at any time.

At this time, it is even more gloomy to come into this dense forest, and it makes people feel chills when they walk in.

Xiangxi pulled Mo Luo's sleeve and motioned her to walk slower.

Although Mo Luo rushed to the place where the crime happened, he slowed down seeing that Mian Mian kindly gave her his amulet.

As they walked, they could only hear a cat meow faintly in the woods. The sound was soft and soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

"Did you hear Mo Luo? It sounds like a cat is meowing and it's a bit like a child crying."

Xiangxi was not sure whether what he heard was a cat meowing, and in the end he began to doubt himself.

Mo Luo just glanced at her lightly and said:
"It's a cat meowing. There are many people in the palace who raise cats to pass the time."

"I am afraid of cats"

Li Jing felt a little relieved when she heard Mo Luo's words, but she still responded cowardly.

"Get over it."

Dali and Mo Luo's pace had slowed down while she was talking, but because she was pulling Mo Luo, she walked quickly and Dali was also led to walk a few steps faster.

There is a winding path between the woods, which is the fastest way to the crime scene. After Mo Luo took Xianxuan for a while, he suddenly heard another cat meowing.

This meow was much clearer than before, it seemed to be right in front, Lian Li obviously heard it too, and stopped in fear:

"Mara, there is really a cat ahead!"

Mo Luo was paused for a moment by the sudden stop, but then he nodded without speaking, and continued to walk forward.

Helpless at this moment, Lily pulled Mo Luo, and didn't dare to let go of her. She was afraid, but she also knew that if she let Mo Luo go, she would be even more afraid if she left behind and was alone.

The two people walked a few hundred meters in tandem, and suddenly heard the sound of cats meowing from very close to them.

It was not as gentle as before. It seemed that many cats were screaming and making threatening sounds. In this forest, it seemed that there were angry cats shouting and threatening sounds from all directions.

"God, is there a group of cats ahead!"

Lian Li was obviously startled by this voice, her whole body trembled, she looked at Mo Luo and said in amazement.

"Never mind, we just go out."

Mora was not interested in the fight among the cats. He only stopped for a brief moment and then continued to move forward with the provocative voices of the cats.

It was only after walking a few hundred meters that I saw another rockery at that corner. At a glance, there were more than [-] cats, large and small, scattered on the rocks of the rockery, one after another. Yelling at the other party, meow meow meow endlessly.

"So many cats!"

Xiangxiang was so scared that her legs were weak. She was not afraid of anything but creatures like cats. She had no idea at this time and looked at Mara waiting for her to make a decision.

Mo Luo took a look at the location of the rockery. It was a corner. There were rockeries on both sides of the trail. At this time, there were cats on the rockery facing each other. They were howling. It was not known whether they were in heat or simply fighting. .

It is not impossible to pass through the group of cats now, but Mo Luo glanced at the two warring longings.

His gaze shifted to the group of cats again. At this time, several cats had already seen Mo Luo and Li Mi, but they didn't show any signs, and they even turned a blind eye to them.

In this case, there was no need for Mo Luo to rush over in such a hurry. She pulled Xianxian and stood next to a tree, indicating that Xianxian should take a rest first.

Seeing Mimi squatting on the ground with weak legs, her eyes peeking at the groups of cats on the two rockeries not far away, Mo Luo knew that she was still afraid.

"Mara, why don't we find another way?"

In the face of his admiration, Mara actually disagreed. If he walked another kilometer, he would be able to exit the forest. Turning a corner, he would find the place where the crime occurred. If he turned around and went back, it would probably take more time.

And before Mara had time to answer, the cats on the two rockeries were already fighting with each other.

From the initial verbal demonstration to the direct resemblance to the iron claws, the scene at the rockery became a mess for a while, unlike the ordinary play between animals, the fight between these cats is really going to kill each other.

Soon the miserable howlings of cats were heard in the forest. Mo Luo looked around and even saw that some cats were injured. Some had their eyes scratched, some had their throats bitten, and they were all injured. More and more cats are quitting the fight.

There were only five or six big cats left there, and they continued to fight. No one was willing to lose first. After a stalemate for a while, the golden-orange cat, which had been lame all the time, howled towards the snow-white cat. The explosive cat rushed over, and these cats started a new round of fighting.

　Ah~ I'm finally back. Since I resumed work on the 28th, I have been working endless overtime. I feel like my head is about to be vomited. I finally have a little leisure today. I work seven days in a row and add on Saturday The half-day class is really unbearable. I feel that I am already numb. I just came here to take a breath. Set a small goal this month - 20 words~
