You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your
choice Within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The
corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead. The spell fails if
the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days.

Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The
corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew.
Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is
under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it
or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the
creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse
can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has
happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.
