Turns out it's Gu? "It's really fast, less than thirty breaths from beginning to end." Bai Ziqi signaled the doctor to start an autopsy, and then said to the two of them:
"I traveled all over Bega. I saw this kind of case in Xuluo Kingdom 20 years ago and did special research. The deceased was a servant of a policeman. After poisoning his master, he also died. He was killed by the same person.
People killed by fate Gu almost die like this."
"Both the same-life Gu are twin worms with one egg. Plant one of the larvae in the heart and feed on the heart blood and real power. Only after three hundred days has it grown will it be able to threaten the host. But by that time, the Gu worm host will also
It is completely controlled by the person who raises the poison, because he can activate the poison at any time and take his life."
He Lingchuan interrupted: "What does concentricity mean?"
"Identical twin Gu worms, one with the heart of a potential victim, is called a Yang worm, also known as "tsutsugamushi", and the other Yin worm is of course in the hands of the person who raises the Gu. This thing can go without food for many years, but the raised worm
The container is very important. It cannot be contained with gold, porcelain, jade or other utensils, it must not be stained with soil, and it must be waterproof."
Fushan Yue asked smoothly: "Then what else can be installed, bamboo?"
"Yes, bamboo tubes are generally used." Bai Ziqi also felt sarcastic, "The bamboo tubes produced by Bejia for chewing tobacco are very suitable."
Bamboo tube?
Gu insect in a bamboo tube? He Lingchuan's eyes narrowed.
In addition to chewing tobacco from various countries, I seemed to have heard someone mention bamboo tubes somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Killing is also very simple, because the two insects refined through special techniques share the same fate and live and die together. As long as the female insect is crushed to death, the male insect will also riot and die within dozens of breaths. It will go on a rampage before it dies.
It destroys the host's body and even releases poison to attack the meridians, so Wu Kai will be like this."
The doctor under Fu Shanyue was actually very professional. While the three of them were talking, he had already cut out the heart of the deceased, drained the blood, and showed it to the adults for viewing.
Wu Kai's heart was full of holes, almost like a sieve. No one could survive such injuries.
Bai Ziqi sighed: "Let's cut it open and take a look." The doctor followed the order.
Wu Kai's heart was cut open. The three people present looked at him with blazing eyes, but they didn't see anything unusual at the moment.
Instead, the doctor observed for a long time and used the tip of a knife to pick out a slender purple-black strip from the heart muscle, which looked like a blood clot.
"Is this the scrub typhus that Commander Bai was talking about?"
Wu Kai suffered a serious crime before his death, including a heart attack. It was normal for him to have blood clots. After he pulled it apart, everyone discovered that it was indeed a worm, but its abdomen and legs were not obvious.
Fu Shanyue scratched the back of his head and said irritably: "What's the use of knowing that he died from the peach heart Gu? You can't speak after you die!"
Wu Kai's mouth has been sealed, and some secrets are destined to be brought into the coffin by him. If he cannot dig deeper, the main culprit in the immortal medicine case can only be Cen Boqing.
This is to pin all the charges on him.
"The Gu of Same Fate is planted in the human heart, and it takes a year to cultivate. Once activated, no formations or magical powers can stop it. Even the Substitute Death Technique will not be effective because even if the injury is removed, the Gu will still remain.
In the heart of the original host. It can be said that if the person holding the Gu wants you to die, you have to die." Bai Ziqi said while thinking, "But I heard that the same fate Gu is extremely difficult to refine. Not only is the success rate low, but also for those who are proficient in it.
There are only a handful of them. If they weren't worried about Wu Kai leaking the secret, they probably wouldn't be in a hurry to kill him."
Fu Shanyue raised his head and looked at him with hopeful eyes: "Can we start from this aspect?" Bai Ziqi has investigated cases in this area before, and maybe there are corresponding resources that can be mobilized.
"Maybe. I have to write a few letters and ask my old friends to help me check."
Fu Shanyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. As long as the clues are not broken."
The three of them walked up and when they arrived at the inn yard, they happened to see the sky in the east turning white.
Bai Ziqi glanced at He Lingchuan and said with a wry smile: "It's almost dawn, it seems God doesn't want us to rest."
He also specially made many arrangements at Cheng Yu's place.
Fu Shanyue invited him: "How about going to my courtyard to have tea and take a break?"
Bai Ziqi didn't put on airs and nodded immediately: "Okay, I heard that Chiyan has a lot of good tea."
He had never seen anything like this, but it was rare for a case to trigger so many accidents in one day.
The three of them walked to Fu Shanyue's territory, and the guards removed the remains of the prince's previous seat and put out tea and snacks.
"This clue of Cen Boqing is probably the only one that can be found for the time being." Fu Shanyue said regretfully, "Mai Xuewen's whereabouts are also unknown, which is difficult. By the way, according to my father, Mai Xuewen raised
The monster seems to have some background."
Snail Toad? He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to crack melon seeds on the surface. Fu Shanyue hadn't mentioned this before. They already knew that Snail Toad was Dong Rui's work?
Bai Ziqi: "Oh?"
"His men rely on this monster to escape and catch demons. It comes and goes without a trace and acts very covertly. But this monster relies entirely on the hard shell on its back. He Xiao once set a trap to capture it in Zhitian Township, but it was so weak
The shell is a hundred times more resistant to beating than a tortoise. Hundreds of officers and soldiers had strength, but they still escaped from it." Fu Shanyue said slowly, "After the incident was reported, my father said that the hard shell looked like him.
A magic weapon that I heard about before. "Is it?"
"Oh?" Not only did He Lingchuan pay all his attention, Bai Ziqi also raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"
"One of the treasures treasured by the Qing Palace in the past, the Snail House." Fu Shanyue continued, "This is the natal magic weapon of the ancient Snail Immortal. It is said that it took thousands of years to polish it. Not only is it extremely hard, but it also has its own palace inside.
It can accommodate hundreds of people, and is extremely spacious. However, the Snail Immortal died before the World Destruction War, and no other monster has been able to control this hard shell. Somehow, it wandered to Bejia and entered the Qing Palace collection."
Bai Ziqi remained silent, and He Lingchuan acted as his compliment: "How could Qing Palace's treasure be related to Mai Xuewen?"
Bai Ziqi immediately said: "Hey Xiao, be careful what you say!"
Affection?"
He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "I want to ask if there is something hidden in this."
Bai Ziqi hesitated for a moment and then said: "A number of treasures were stolen from the Qing Palace more than ten years ago, including this dwelling."
"Even Qing Palace has lost something!" He Lingchuan was surprised, "Who has such ability, is it a traitor?"
"...Yes." This kid hit the nail on the head, "It was the work of a thief. Although the thief was later killed, many treasures have been missing since then and have not been recovered."
He Lingchuan was puzzled: "How could Cen Boqing, who is in Lingxu City, not know about such a big event?"
If Cen Boqing knew it, Wu Kai would probably know it too. How could Mai Xuewen dare to use it casually?
Bai Ziqi didn't answer, Fu Shanyue smiled and said: "Because, most people in Lingxu City don't know about it. The Qing Palace has covered up the matter, and even if Da Si Nong knew it, he might not tell his son-in-law."
"But the Emperor...well, I mean, everyone who needs to know knows it?"
Already?"
"Of course." Fushanyue pointed to his nose, "Don't all my family know that? Then forget about the lost magic weapon?"
Fu Shanyue's tone was teasing: "With the aura of heaven and earth being so thin, how many ancient treasures become scraps every year and can only be sold for antique prices, do you know?"
He Lingchuan shook his head without hesitation, like a country bumpkin.
In this regard, he is just a country bumpkin. In terms of origins, antiquities, and financial resources, how can the Kite Kingdom compare with Bega?
The country has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are so many antiques that it doesn’t hurt to break them casually. If one or two items from the Kite Kingdom are treasured, they must be offered to heaven, and there is no way to lose them.
"Lost treasures and resold antiquities are mostly reported as damaged or aged. You can even say that they were broken by accident, and no one will hold them accountable. These things are originally hidden in the palace, and civilians don't care.
If you know it and don't care, why tell them?" Fushan smiled more and looked at Bai Ziqi, "Shidu Bai must also know this semi-public secret."
Bai Ziqi coughed slightly, but did not deny it. He Lingchuan suddenly said: "That's it!"
"The thief who entered the palace to steal the treasure is now dead, but the dwelling has fallen into the hands of Mai Xuewen, who is using it to stir up trouble." Bai Ziqi said slowly, "When I return to the Qing Palace, I will visit the Qingyang Imperial Master and find some more
clue."
This sentence was a disguised admission. Now he had nothing to do with Mai Xuewen. He Lingchuan summed it up for him in his mind.
Suddenly, Mai Xuewen, the fugitive who robbed and killed Zhong Sunmou, was still at large and could not be caught. There was no other way for the time being. The repeat offender Wu Kai died suddenly. The only result was that Cen Boqing had confessed and the evidence about him was conclusive.
Mrs. Cen Yao Xingning sent him an important witness, an actor from Tinghe Garden and Wu Kai's contact. However, the clues found from this person had to be returned to Lingxu City before he could continue the process.
So, the investigation of the elixir of life in Bai Shaqian has come to an end, and Bai Ziqi has no reason to stay any longer.
Unless, another task he wants to do is also related to this place. What will he do next?
Fu Shanyue had already asked: "So, is Commander Bai planning to return to Lingxu City and continue handling the case?"
He wanted to track the progress of the case, and of course he wanted to inquire about Bai Ziqi's next plan. Bai Ziqi didn't seem to have made up his mind. He turned the tea cup around in his hand several times and finally nodded: "Well, I will escort Cen Boqing back. He Xiao
——"
He looked at He Lingchuan: "You have interacted with Cen Boqing, Zhong Sunmou, Mai Xuewen and others. As a witness, you have to come with me."
"Ah?" He Lingchuan pointed at himself with a surprised look on his face, "Do I have to go too?" Ha, Bai Ziqi indeed made this request to him. She wanted to interrogate him on the way, right?
Bai Ziqi smiled and nodded: "The prince won't be reluctant to leave, right?"
"How can it be?" Fu Shanyue raised his hand to make him a cup of tea, and then said to He Lingchuan, "Not to mention the bustling clouds and smoke, Lingxu City has outstanding people and places that are unique in the world. It would be great for us to travel through the mountains and rivers.
!」
Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Us?"
"That's right." Fu Shanyue grinned, showing his big white teeth, "I'll go too. The demon people of Chiyan were killed, and my father kept emphasizing that I had to investigate thoroughly. Oh, then shouldn't I go and have a look?
