Two days later, Liu Dabao and the other two teams went to a prostitute village in the south of the island to enjoy the beauty of the afternoon, and that night, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and three palace guards entered the barracks where Lin Jue was with a bedding roll. The three of them hadn't met for many days, and Ma Bin and Shen Tan were about to go crazy. When they learned that Lin Jue had used means to transfer them here, Ma Bin and Shen Tan were surprised.

But what is even more surprising is still to come, when they saw that since Liu Dabao went down, all the people in the team were respectful to Lin Jue, and Lin Jue was simply the leader of this team, Ma Bin and Shen Tan had to secretly admire Lin Jue's ability. The two of them were called five and six every day during this time, and they were beaten and scolded if there was anything wrong. The two couldn't fit in with the team, and they couldn't pull their faces to slap their ass, so they were marginalized in their respective teams. However, Lin Jue is very prosperous here.

People came together, not all of them, but there were enough people. Lin Jue quickly informed Ma Bin and Shen Tan of the news he had been investigating in the past few days and the fact that he had touched Gao Yuankui's grave. Ma Bin and Shen Tan were even more ashamed to death, they didn't do anything during this time, and they didn't do anything every day except for being anxious. However, Lin Jue not only got mixed up in the team, but also heard so much news, and even touched Gao Yuankui's cemetery, and accidentally met the big village owner of Guishan Island. If it was said that Lin Jue could only be regarded as reluctantly recognized before, and he was faintly unconvinced, the two people who learned all this were really impressed.

However, even so, the two expressed their opposition to Lin Jue's proposed plan to dig up the grave. In their opinion, Lin Jue's plan was too risky, and Lin Jue's judgment was too confident. Why did he say that the cause of Gao Yuankui's death was suspicious, and he came to such a conclusion just because of the slightest suspicion of this star? And a year has passed, and Gao Yuankui is afraid that he has rotted into bones, can he still find anything? The dead cannot speak. Besides, digging people's graves is bad luck and bad luck.

Lin Jue was too lazy to talk to them, and Lin Jue had no hope for the IQ of these two people. Lin Jue admits that he is very subjective, and it is indeed risky to dig up the grave, but now this is the breakthrough, and he has to do it. Once his guess was proven, the whole plan suddenly became clear. So Lin Jue didn't try to convince them, but just told them that according to the previous agreement, they had to implement their own decisions, so there was no need to discuss this matter. Ma Bin and Shen Tan were extremely helpless, but they had words first, and they could only obey orders at this moment.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of October, Lin Jue said to Liu Dabao that he wanted to invite a few brothers to go happily and happily together, and promised to return to the team in the evening. Liu Dabao has gained too many benefits during this time, and he has not interfered too much with Lin Jue's actions. just told him not to do anything that embarrassed him, not to break the rules of the cottage, etc. Lin Jue thought he was too verbose, so he reached out and stuffed a small piece of gold leaf into Liu Dabao, and Liu Dabao shut up.

Lin Jue and his party of six people pretended to patrol and went all the way to the north of the island, although they were interrogated on the way, but how could the six people be regarded as 'old bandits', and the password was not bad at all, so it was unimpeded. Finally, when the people were unprepared, several people got into the craggy rocks and miscellaneous trees under the cliff, and once they entered the place, they were basically invisible to outsiders.

The road to the top of the cliff was also a familiar road, and soon all six people appeared in the wild grass on the edge of the cliff top. The weather has deteriorated on the past two days, the north style on the lake has become fierce, the sky has become hazy and gloomy, and the weather has become very cold. On this cliff, the cold wind made it difficult for several people to breathe. But the weather also brought benefits, that is, the soldiers on several arrow towers in the distance seemed to shrink into the wind, giving a few people room to move safely.

Several people rushed into the pine forest in a puff of smoke, and soon touched Gao Yuankui's tomb. After looking around, when there was no sign of anyone on the left, Lin Jue immediately ordered to dig the grave. Before starting to excavate, Lin Jue and the others still lit three sticks of incense, and several people bowed their hands, after all, it is still a little taboo to do this kind of thing.

"Master Gao, you should forgive me if you have the knowledge to do so. We are not offending you, but we want to find out the cause of your death, and perhaps we can avenge you. But if you are not killed by someone, then we will burn incense and paper to worship you in the future, and I hope you will not be surprised. ”

After Lin Jue finished saying nondescript words of prayer, he waved his hand and ordered to do it. Ma Bin used the shovel he brought to pry open a piece of masonry on the grave, and the excavation operation officially began. Lin Jue did not participate in the excavation, but hid at the edge of the forest to watch the wind. After all, the sound of ping-pong is not small when digging, and if someone finds out, you must react quickly.

After a long half hour, a guard rushed over and reported: "Young Master Lin, the grave has been dug up, and Lord Ma and Commander Shen will let you take a look." ”

Lin Jue nodded, and ordered the guard to take over his sentry here, and hurried back to the forest. When I arrived at the tomb, I saw that the ground was full of messes. Dirt, sand, stone, and bricks were laid out in a mess on the ground. The top of the massive tomb had been flattened, revealing a large hole in a black hole. This is the excavation method requested by Lin Jue, only a hole can be made at the top, which is to better restore the tomb. Once it's all dug up, it's hard to recover.

With this method of digging, the coffin cannot be opened, and all that can be done is to open a hole in the huge coffin that has been exposed, and then examine the bones from the hole. It took a lot of time to open the hole in the huge and hard pear blossom wooden coffin, and finally several people used their blades to cut a long hole in the coffin little by little, and when the wood was taken out, a turbid gas sprayed out of the coffin, and the stench made people want to fall. But fortunately, the strong wind in the forest quickly blew it away.

Lin Jue climbed onto the coffin and looked into the hole. I couldn't see anything in the black rumbling dong, and my heart was quite hairy. But soon, Lin Jue came to his senses, lit the candle he brought, and hung it through the hole with a rope. The candle burned in the coffin, and the light illuminated the situation inside. The cloth inside is messy and messy. The cloth that wrapped the corpse was wet and rotten, but it still covered the bones.

Ma Bin handed over a branch, and Lin Jue used the branch to pick open the rotten cloth, revealing a white bone. Because of the small opening, the head and feet are not visible, and only the part of the chest up to the thigh bone can be seen. Lin Jue squinted his eyes and carefully observed the appearance of the bones, and suddenly, he said softly, "As expected. ”

Ma Bin and Shen Tan hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

Lin Jue said: "There are seven or eight broken ribs, you can take a look." I'm not right. ”

Ma Bin and Shen Tan hurriedly climbed up and looked down from the entrance of the cave, and the two nodded in agreement.

"That's right, the ribs are broken. What's going on? Shen Tan said in a deep voice.

"Needless to say? Naturally, it was attacked. Ma Bin said.

Shen Tan said: "Is it possible that a bone was broken after death, such as being hit by someone or something?" ”

Lin Jue laughed coldly: "Commander Shen, you can really think about it. What hatred and what grudge? Do you want to torture the corpse after death? This must be a broken bone before death. Or it was the result of an attack before death. But breaking seven or eight ribs is not enough to be fatal, unless the broken bones pierce the heart and lungs, but these ribs are in both ribs, which is not enough to be fatal. ”

Shen Tan and Ma Bin agreed with this conclusion, they are both martial arts practitioners, and it is actually normal for their ribs to break when they fight. And in fact, a few broken ribs do not affect the normal movement of people. There is only one case where a broken rib can be fatal, and that is when the broken bone punctures the heart, lungs and other important internal organs, which can lead to organ damage and death. However, the situation of Gao Yuankui's corpse in front of him was obviously not suitable, it was a rib cage with two ribs, and there were no fatal organs in it. At most, it would be a puncture in the intestines, but it would not be fatal.

"Bring the spear." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

A guard handed over the spear, and Lin Jue reached into the tip of the spear and stabbed it at a rib, which snapped and broke. Lin Jue used two branches to make a clip, and reached in to clip out the small rib. In the bright skylight, the small rib white glowed, and it looked nothing unusual. However, Lin Jue's gaze fell on the small section of the newly broken section, where there was a slight blackening, and something shiny was flickering.

Ma Bin and Shen Tan also immediately noticed this phenomenon, and asked in a shocked whisper, "What is this?" How does the light shine in the bones? ”

Lin Jue smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "This is the cause of death, here is mercury." Mercury evaporates when heated, and when inhaled, it quickly enters the bloodstream, internal organs, and bones. Mercury is highly poisonous, and it is difficult to detoxify at all, and it is still in it for thousands of years after entering the bones. This is the poison of mercury that penetrates into it, and it looks slightly shiny, because the mercury itself is silvery. I can assure you that there must have been beads of mercury scattered in this coffin, because when the entrails rot, the mercury accumulates together to form beads. ”

Ma Bin and Shen Tan were shocked and speechless, the two of them had actually understood, someone poisoned Gao Yuankui with mercury poison, and launched an attack while he was poisoned, and broke Gao Yuankui's seven or eight ribs. Gao Yuankui finally had no power to fight back and died violently. Lin Jue's judgment was correct, and he really found evidence in this clue.
