A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

Sang Li frowned, "Yu Yifan, go back and call Xiao Han, don't startle the snake in the grass first."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yu Yifan immediately went out the door.

Sang Li stood up, and didn't go to move Zhu Mu's corpse either.

She looked around the room, seeing that many of the furniture in the house had fallen to the ground, and not far away on the dining table, there were still some chicken, duck and fish leftovers, and some plates were also broken on the ground, as if there had been a fierce struggle.

Didn't Zhu Mu have no money? Where did he get the money to buy so much meat to eat? Could he have died from poisoning?

Thinking like this, Sang Li immediately saw a rat sneakily crawling to the dining table, quickly eating the food on the ground, then leisurely running away again.

Sang Li was stunned, the food was not poisoned? She looked again, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something silver under the corner of the table.

She immediately walked over and picked it up. It was a silver bell bracelet, with a ruby ??on it.

The bell made a crisp sound. Sang Li looked at it carefully, and suddenly discovered a word on that gemstone.

"Gu?"

Sang Li was stunned for a moment. "Could it be... Gu Zhi?"

She looked at the bell bracelet again. Was this bell bracelet Gu Zhi's?

Why would it be here? If Zhu Mu had taken Gu Zhi's bell, he should have pawned it long ago. Why would he still keep it with him?

Now why did it appear here?

Sang Li frowned. So was Zhu Mu killed by Gu Zhi???

After a while, Yu Yifan brought Xiao Han over.

"Sister Li." Yu Yifan had already told her about the situation on the way, so she was not too surprised to see Zhu Mu's corpse.

"Xiao Han, take a look, see how he died?" Sang Li said.

"Okay." Xiao Han immediately squatted down and started checking Zhu Mu's condition.

Sang Li and Yu Yifan watched from the side.

After a while, Xiao Han stood up, "Apart from some minor abrasions and bruises from impacts, there are no other external injuries, no signs of poisoning either. Did he have any illnesses when he was alive?"

"This... when I was investigating him before, I didn't hear that he had any health problems. He was energetic and gambling at the casino drinking all day!" Yu Yifan said.

"Now that he's dead, I can't determine the condition inside his body. An autopsy is needed."

Sang Li paused and asked, "If we report this to the authorities, will they find out who the murderer is?"

Yu Yifan said helplessly, "Sister Li, don't think about it. Zhu Mu is just an insignificant person who has no relatives or friends. The government will only treat him as if he died suddenly, then find a pit to bury him!"

Xiao Han was a little surprised, "So careless?"

"They won't go through the trouble for someone penniless and powerless like Zhu Mu!"

"Then... should we still report to the authorities?" Xiao Han asked.

"Let's report first. If they don't investigate, we'll investigate again." Sang Li said.

They still reported to the authorities first, but as Yu Yifan said, the government didn't care at all about the life and death of an unemployed gambler without any relatives.

However, Sang Li and the others gave some money to the officials, and they also agreed to let Xiao Han dissect the corpse.

When Xiao Han dissected the corpse, Yu Yifan at the side almost vomited!

"Ugh..." Yu Yifan immediately covered his mouth and ran out.

Sang Li glanced at him outside, "I told you not to watch, but you insisted on going."

Yu Yifan pouted, with a painful grimace, "I...I was just a little curious, I didn't expect it to be so disgusting... How can Xiao Han keep a straight face?"

"She's seen a lot, done a lot, so she can naturally keep a straight face."

"I admire her so much! She's really more capable than men!" Yu Yifan sighed.

The two waited outside for a while until it was almost dark before Xiao Han came out of the room.

"Xiao Han, how was it?"

Xiao Han took off her homemade mask, her face a little serious.

"Not good. His five viscera and six bowels were almost all gnawed at, even his heart was missing a large chunk. I've never seen anything so bizarre!"

"What?" Yu Yifan was a little surprised. "How could that be?"

"I'm very surprised too. It looks like he was bitten by some kind of insect." Xiao Han said, "He should have been tortured to death. Those abrasions on his body were probably from struggling on the ground because he couldn't stand the pain."

"No way? So vicious?"

"Could it be some enemy? To take revenge? So tortured him in such a cruel way?" Xiao Han said.

"How could he have any enemies? He idled around all day, gambled away what little money he had, didn't interact much with others either. If you had to say his only enemy, it should be the person who came to him for money that day. But Sister Li already helped pay him back, so he's not an enemy anymore."

Sang Li had been silent with a gloomy face the whole time.

Yu Yifan suddenly thought of something and cried out in surprise, "There's another enemy, Gu Zhi! He sold Gu Zhi to the brothel, so Gu Zhi might be a little...resentful of him?"

Xiao Han thought for a moment, "Gu Zhi? Doesn't seem like him. He only knows how to cook and make shoes for Sister Li, or works hard at the Beauty Pavilion all day. No matter how you look at it, he couldn't possibly kill someone, especially with such cruel means!"

"Let's go back first." Sang Li suddenly said, her face didn't look good. She turned to Yu Yifan and said, "Yu Yifan, find someone to bury Zhu Mu."

"Alright..."

Sang Li and Xiao Han returned to the Beauty Pavilion first. As soon as they returned to the Beauty Pavilion, they saw Gu Zhi walking out from behind the counter with a drink in hand.

Seeing Sang Li, he immediately smiled, "Sister, you're back! Where did you go? Today I learned how to make this drink, do you want to try it?"

Xiao Han glanced at Gu Zhi. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem like someone who could kill.

Sang Li's face was expressionless. She walked over and looked at Gu Zhi and said, "I went to find the man who sold you to the brothel."

Gu Zhi was stunned, "You...went to find him again for what? Sister, are you trying to find my family through him? But he wasn't my elder brother at all!"

Sang Li's tone was not very good. "Then I'll ask you, after you came out of the brothel, did you go see him?"

Gu Zhi felt a little wronged by Sang Li's tone, but he answered very obediently, "No, he sold me, why would I go see him?"

Sang Li slammed her hand down, smashing the drink Gu Zhi made onto the ground, and shouted sternly, "Well he's dead now!!"

Even Xiao Han was startled by Sang Li. She had never seen Sang Li so angry before.

The few people who had just come downstairs also immediately walked over.

"What's going on?" Su Mo asked.

Gu Zhi looked at the broken cup on the ground, his eyes a little red. He looked up at Sang Li, feeling a little heartache.

"Sister... what do you mean by this?" Gu Zhi choked up, "Do you think... I killed him?"

Sang Li closed her eyes and tried to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

She opened her eyes and looked at him, "Have you recovered your memories? Have you been lying to me all along?"
