The corpse was placed in the dungeon. The strange thing is that the corpse died very peacefully, as if it had fallen asleep.
"Madam, the person is here. I am guilty of failing to take good care of him."
The person responsible for guarding the dungeon apologized with great remorse.
"You should step back first."
She first took a general look at the condition of the body.
There were no obvious injuries on the body, and there were no traces of poisoning on the body.
How do people die?
As a last resort, she asked someone to remove all the clothes from the body.
After her scan, which was more detailed than a magnifying glass, she discovered that there was a hole the size of a pinhole just above the man's heart.
She looked at it and saw that the hole had not healed, but there were not many blood stains.
"Where did this wound come from?"
The person responsible for arresting these spies said, "I don't know. When I arrested these people, I didn't use concealed weapons."
Indeed, judging from the size and location of the wound, it is most likely that it was a hidden weapon such as a needle.
But ordinary concealed weapon needles are basically much larger than this.
She took out the scalpel and gently cut along the hole.
But I found that this hole actually extended all the way along the muscle.
Until she completely broke open the man's chest, revealing the heart that had stopped beating.
She carefully observed the deceased's heart, and finally discovered that the other person's heart was actually covered with tiny holes!
Now, she believed that the cause of this man's death was definitely not due to a hidden weapon.
Because ordinary concealed weapons can enter through the chest and will never pierce the heart like this.
But if this was the cause of death, then he would never die so peacefully.
Instead, it should be a cry of pain.
But that night, the dungeon guards really didn't hear any movement.
"This is really strange."
She muttered to herself and looked into the depths of the dungeon.
The results of the inspection did not bring very effective clues, but left a lot of doubts, trapping her in them.
Since these people were captured, the spies at the foot of the Holy Mountain have begun to act more cautiously.
They have almost disappeared during these days, and no matter how hard the guards in the temple try, they can't catch any trace of them.
This made Lin Mengya even more suspicious.
Judging from the current situation, they are clearly capable of evading the pursuit of the temple, so why were so many people caught before?
Two days later, Qinghu frowned and told her, "I found another person knocking on the railing."
Lin Mengya had to People have stepped up their guard a lot, and even arranged for a lot of people to stand guard outside everyone's cell.
But after midnight, the man never woke up again.
He passed away peacefully in his sleep without attracting anyone's attention.
Lin Mengya had to dissect the corpse herself, and sure enough, the same traces were found on the man's heart.
In other words, the cause of death of these two people is the same.
She couldn't help but feel a little angry when she looked at the heart that was riddled with holes, especially the hair-sized scars on it.
These people died under her eyes. She felt that this was not just killing people, but more like someone was provoking her.
A few days later, the same strange scene happened.
Lin Mengya could no longer bear it and brought several people to trial.
She knew that these people were not afraid of death, and she also knew that they were not afraid of her own methods.
So she did not choose to use force to extract a confession.
Instead, they choose to look at each other and test these people with silence, trying to find their weak links.
The dungeon was eerily quiet.
Lin Mengya was sitting in front of these people. She was aloof and seemed to have the power of life and death over these people.
But the eyes of those people were all the same calm, which made her a little frustrated.
At the same time, it also strengthened her idea of getting these people to confess.
"I know you are not afraid of death, so I will not use ordinary methods against you."
She looked around, and the reactions of these people were as expected.
"It's just that only when a person is alive can he have everything. One of you will live, and I guarantee that he will live a very nourishing life. How about it? Do any of you want this opportunity?"
She knew that these words were like nonsense to them.
But she needs a breakthrough.
Sometimes no matter how great the pain is, it is not as effective as a desire. Some people may not be afraid of life and death, but they may not give up the monstrous wealth that is at their fingertips.
"Very good. It seems that you are all good and loyal slaves. However, your master may not appreciate your loyalty."
She curled her lips and spoke in a mocking tone.
"It seems that until now, your master has not come forward, nor has he sent anyone to negotiate for me to release him.
You yourselves know very well that in fact you have not committed any big crime at all, you are just collecting some information about me at the foot of my mountain.
If your master negotiates, you may not be able to be released."
Freedom is the greatest temptation.
On the surface, those people didn't seem to be shaken by her proposal at all, but only they themselves could know what was going on in their hearts.
"Let's do this. As long as you write down what information you have about me, I will let you go immediately."
She ordered them to be released and opened the cell door.
The meaning was very obvious. As long as they obeyed, I could let them walk out of here safely.
Freedom is right at your fingertips.
But these people didn't react at all, and they didn't even look at the pen and ink in front of them.
Lin Mengya's brows furrowed tightly.
This is simply unreasonable.
Until, she also heard the rhythmic tapping sound.
This time, what those people knocked on was not the railing, but their own hands.
A sense of crisis arises spontaneously.
The rhythm of those people was getting faster and faster, and the faces of those people suddenly had creepy smiles.
"Mrs. Protector!"
In an instant, all the guards rushed up and surrounded her.
At this moment, the sound of those people knocking seemed to have arrived.
Their eyes flashed with madness, as if they would achieve their goals in the next moment.
The sound of slaps stopped suddenly, and those people stared at her closely in unison.
But one minute passed, two minutes passed...
It wasn't until a long time later that those people looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment.
Seeing her who looked frightened and helpless just now, a sneer instantly appeared on her face.
"Do you think this method is very subtle and can kill me without anyone noticing?"
Lin Mengya asked the crowd to disperse.
There was a little black cat lying at her feet.
"Your methods are really subtle. Let me guess, that Tang poem is actually not a hobby at all, nor is it a hobby of some of you, but a musical score, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, these people's expressions changed.
"This song is really subtle, using rhythm to control the Gu.
At the beginning, you deliberately let your companions die tragically just to lure me here.
Then you know that I definitely want to know your secrets, so I will come to interrogate you personally.
Maybe it's not me or They are other important figures in my temple. As long as they enter this cell and see any of you, you will use this method to spread this Gu to this person.
The master of my palace is out on the march fighting, but a very important person died in the temple. This will demoralize our officers and soldiers, and you will be able to win without a fight.
This method is good, if it were anyone in this world, it would be successful.
It’s a pity that I am the exception.”
She reached out and hugged the already full little black cat in her arms.
In fact, she had already realized something on the night she dissected the first corpse, but it had not been confirmed yet, so she did not dare to draw any conclusions.
After a series of deaths, her suspicions were indeed confirmed again.
So she used secret methods to recall Xiao Hei.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei was accustomed to wandering not far from her, so this time it didn't take long before he found her.
Almost as soon as Xiao Hei came back, she had already confirmed her guess.
Compared to playing Gu, her Xiao Hei is the ancestor among the ancestors.
And she also guessed what the other party's purpose was.
"Your master really values me, and he uses such means to deal with me. Should I feel honored, or should I laugh at his stupidity?"
Xiao Hei lay in her arms and narrowed his eyes.
Almost instantly, those people fell twitching in front of her.
Lin Mengya knelt down and lifted their hair on the right side.
Sure enough, a blue-purple lotus mark was found under their right ear.
"I have suspected before that although tongue cutting is a way to cultivate fine craftsmen, apart from spies, there are also people in Wei who use tongue cutting."
Those people looked at her in horror. They couldn't believe that everything they had carefully disguised could be exposed like this.
"This is a very mysterious clan of Gu Masters. They don't use language to convey messages at all, but use a rhythm to communicate with each other.
The Gu they have domesticated will also be controlled through this method. But I am very curious, wasn't your clan wiped out decades ago? Why are you here again?
Am I right? Le Gu Clan!"
They never dreamed that they had lost their traces in Weiguo, and no one even remembered their names anymore.
But the person in front of him not only knew them well, he even knew their inside stories.
With her eyes widened, those people seemed to be questioning her with their eyes, who is she? Why does she know the secrets of their clan so clearly?
