Chapter 225: Corpse

Lin Jue looked at it, and the person who came was none other than the military attache who had to go out to solve his physiological problems just now.

But at this time, this military attachΓ©'s face was pale, trembling, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand steadily, where was there still a trace of the arrogant appearance just now?

"Dead, dead! ——”

It took a long time for his teeth to chatter before he finally squeezed out these two untechnical words.

"I said military attache Li, are you drunk lightly?"

A mocking smile appeared on the contractor's face.

"I'm not, I'm not drunk, it's real, there's a dead man, it's just, it's in the lake over there, and a person floats on it......"

Military attache Li leaned his back against the pillar in the hall, barely able to stand firm in front of everyone. He was so frightened that he had already woken up from the little wine just now.

"Military Attache Li, I don't think it's getting early this day, so you better go back and rest early."

Ling Mo didn't think so.

The drunken martial artists around him, seeing this, also began to talk a lot, and most of the content was laughing at Military Attache Li for going crazy with wine.

"I'm serious! ——”

Seeing that no one believed what he said, Military Attache Li was immediately a little annoyed.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the lake in the small garden and have a look, if I have half a lie, the sky will be thundered and the sky will not be good!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Jue was stunned.

Is it really drunk? This poisonous oath is too cruel to yourself, right?

"Tsk, for the sake of military attache Li who made such a poisonous oath, we might as well go out and have a look. If you really don't, military attache Li, are you really willing to die a good death? ”

Liu Man suddenly became interested.

New hatred and old hatred just happen to be avenged together.

"If there are no dead people. Whatever you want! ”

Military Attache Li's face turned red from being stimulated, the picture of the dead man just now was too terrifying, he was already scared, and after he came back and said it, no one was willing to believe him! Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, no matter what, he has to prove that he is not wrong!

People have already talked about this. Everyone was also interested. All the people present were martial artists in their prime, and they drank some wine, and they were very bold. One by one, they all rushed to the front.

Lin Jue walked behind slowly, and was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to leave early, but saw the contractor also pacing slowly on the side, with a leisurely expression. Neither curious. I'm not excited, and I seem to have a good idea of what is about to happen.

Soon, the people who walked ahead had reached the lake.

Sure enough, there was indeed a corpse floating on the water, if this appearance could still be called a "corpse".

- The clothes he was wearing had rotted to the point where he couldn't distinguish the color, and through the rotten strands of fabric, it could be seen that his body was full of blood holes, and the blood flowing from them stained the surface of the lake red, and what was even more disgusting. In those blood holes, there were many black insects. Those insects gathered unscrupulously, and whether they still crawled into the blood hole next to them to "hang out", it was really disgusting.

And because this "corpse" is lying on his stomach, everyone can't see his face, but the scarred back is enough for people to vomit all the food they have eaten all day.

A few of the impatient civilian staff had begun to squat on the ground and vomit. Others, even if not so exaggerated, also felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Fish it up."

Ling Mo ordered coldly.

In fact, he is not in a better condition than others, but as a prince, no matter how panicked and frightened he is, he must endure it forcibly, and he can't show himself in front of outsiders.

A few soldiers went into the water, endured the nausea, lassoed the thing with a slipknotted hemp rope, and pulled it to the shore.

All of a sudden, the stench came, and everyone took several steps back.

The corpse's whole body was full of blood holes, even the face, the flesh was blurred, and the bones inside were exposed, and it was impossible to identify it.

The body has rotted, it seems that this person has been dead for a while, and the dense blood hole is crawling with tiny black worms, which seem to be frantically gnawing on the carrion, and is it still spitting out slender letters, which makes people look creepy.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Jue's heart began to sink.

Ever since she knew that Nangong Yi was missing, as soon as she encountered something uncertain, her heart immediately became fragile.

Many times, she really didn't want to think about things in a bad direction at all, but at this time, looking at the destroyed corpse in front of her, she really couldn't continue to maintain an optimistic attitude.

Just when Lin Jue was nervous, a person next to him suddenly shouted, "You say, is this person's figure a bit similar to General Nangong?" ”

This sentence, like a sharp sword, penetrated Lin Jue's body in the blink of an eye, she wanted to reach out and hold it, but there was nothing around her, and the pain in her heart came, she just stood in a daze, and there were no tears.

As soon as the man finished speaking, some people around him began to echo him.

"Yes, it's indeed a bit similar to General Nangong......

"Yes, I still remember that General Nangong was wearing such a set of clothes that day......"

"But didn't General Nangong go to carry out His Majesty's secret order, why are you here?"

There was a lot of discussion, and the more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, and they almost confirmed that the corpse in front of them was Nangong Yi.

"What nonsense are you talking about! ——”

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, interrupting everyone's discussion.

Liu Man coldly glanced at the military attache and staff who were not afraid of fishing in troubled waters, and said in a deep voice, "This corpse, at first glance, is an elderly man, how can it be General Nangong?!" ”

"If it's not General Nangong, who will it be?"

Military Attache Li, who was so frightened just now, had already recovered his spirits, and at this time he looked at Liu Man and asked loudly.

"How do I know who it is?"

Liu Man looked at everyone coldly, "I'm neither a puppet nor a military doctor, how will I know who this corpse is?" ”

Seeing that everyone seemed to be about to refute again, he added, "Anyway, no matter who it is, it can't be General Nangong!" ”

With that, he stepped forward quickly, raised his leg and kicked the corpse hard.

The force was very strong, and the corpse was kicked by him like this, and it turned over directly and flew several feet away. It rolled on the ground several times before it stopped.

The clothes on the body were already rotting, and after being rolled like this, where was there anything left, and without the cover of the clothes, the blood holes on the corpse became even more shocking.

The crowd turned away and didn't dare to look at it again.

But there are always accidents in everything, and there is a particularly bold person in the martial arts, who wanted to see what was going on with the black worm, but was surprised to see a tattoo with the totem of the Northwest barbarians on the neck of the corpse!

And the people in the northwest know that there is only one person in the whole northwest who has the totem of the Man nationality on his body.

"Lord Ji Li! My God, it's Lord Ji Li! ——”

Takeo roared with panic on his face.

Things changed so quickly that his originally tanned face suddenly turned pale.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Military Attache Li shouted loudly.

"Military Attache Li, there is a totem around his neck, and this totem is only available in the northwest of Ji Li! ——”

When everyone heard this, they didn't care much, and they stepped forward to check it out, and sure enough, on the back of the neck of the decomposed corpse, there was a totem of the Man tribe tattooed! The totem was particularly dazzling on a piece of rotten and blackened flesh.

The sudden change in the situation made Lin Jue also startled.

She hadn't even come out of the grief just now, but another "truth" emerged.

"But this is so strange, ......", things reversed so quickly that even Military Attache Li didn't know how to deal with it, "But wasn't Lord Ji still here just now?" It's only been a long time, how can it be, it's all rotten......"

He voiced the doubts of everyone present.

However, Liu Man was a little unimpressed.

He touched Lin Jue, who was standing next to him, and whispered, "I must have been poisoned." ”

"Poisoned?"

"Yes."

His family has been practicing medicine for generations, but since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated, not to mention that the Liu family has a tradition of using poison to make poison, so for the poisons in this world, as long as they are not too weird, he can basically recognize them at a glance.

Looking at the person in front of him again, the blood hole on his body must have been caused by an external force, and the black worm in the blood hole was probably attracted by something sweet and greasy.

And to achieve this effect, as long as you use a little poison, the steps are actually very simple, first let him take the poison that can make the whole body decay quickly, and then dig a bloody hole in his body, apply honey, as long as these three steps, when the time comes, it will be almost like this.

"But look at him, his body is almost rotten, why is the totem still there?"

Lin Jue was puzzled.

This is a bit like the suspicion that some people deliberately falsified the identity of the deceased.

"The pattern on this totem is the juice of the local purple and blue flowers, in addition to dyeing, the purple and blue flowers also have the effect of detoxification, and the reason why the skin and flesh of the back of the neck tattooed with the totem are not rotten, perhaps because of the purple and blue flowers."

"Could he really be Ji Li?"

Lin Jue was still in disbelief.

Liu Man nodded, "It seems that it is indeed him." But the murderer is ...... I don't know who it is. ”

What he said was indeed right, after a while, the people of the Ji family rushed over, and when they saw Ji Li, whose flesh and blood were blurry and couldn't even distinguish his face, the people of the Ji family didn't believe it at first, and then saw the totem on the back of their neck, and they instantly collapsed to the ground and began to cry and shout.

"Let's go......"

Ling Mo couldn't stand it, and said to Lin Jue sideways.

Who would have thought that the person who had been entertaining everyone to drink a good time before had only an hour passed, and only a blur of flesh and blood remained.

Tossed back and forth like this, the sky has already brightened.

Lin Jue followed Ling Mo and walked out silently, and when he reached the stone steps of the gate, he saw the contractor standing alone under a big tree outside the gate of the capital, his eyes drifting away, as if he was thinking about something. (To be continued.) )
