The night sky was dark, the lotus leaves of the purple jade red lake were fluttering in the wind, and the people of Hanjing had already fallen asleep. A person trotted all the way to the shore of the purple jade red lake in the wind, and the outline gradually became clear: it was Wang Banxian'er. Since the poisoning of the emperor's house happened, he pointed out the maze for Liu Li, he has not appeared, and at this time, he actually appeared on the shore of the purple jade red lake, what is the purpose?

Wang Banxian'er seemed to be counting on his fingers, he made an appointment to meet, and the place of the appointment was next to the lotus pond under the ninth willow tree from the right, and he found the place of the joint by the faint moonlight.

He didn't notice that there was a person hiding in the water under the lotus leaf! The man stared at him with only half of his head out. At this time, a lotus leaf in the lotus pond shook slightly, and Wang Banxian looked at it fixedly, thinking: Maybe it's the wind blowing.

…… Wait! If it's the wind blowing, how can it only blow a lotus leaf!

Before he could react, the person lurking among the lotus leaves had already reached the shore and dragged Wang Banxian'er's calf into the water.

After a burst of shouting, there was no movement.

As soon as he got up early in the morning, Huang Yi had already prepared the car and waited for Liu Li outside Mengjia Hutong. Regarding Wang Banxian'er's death, Liu Li got the news as soon as possible, he was not surprised, from the deaths of his sister-in-law, Jia Yan, Shi Wentao and others, he had gradually seen the essence of the matter: someone was using a living person to conduct a poison Gu experiment, and in order to keep it secret, he must kill all people related to Gu.

Wang Banxian'er's body was half soaked in the water and half on the shore. After Liu Li inspected the river, he inspected the body on the spot, and said to Huang Yi: "The skin is obviously blue and purple, and he died of poisoning." Why should you poison him when he could have drowned? Also, why should he be put on the shore when he could have been sunk into the lake like other corpses? ”

"This is provoking us!"

"That's right." Liu Li said: "The corpse is transported back, if I guess correctly, it was Gu that poisoned him, and I want to study its ingredients." Call Hao Yingxin and Hou Yi to come, as well as Yuanyuan. ”

Gu art is widely spread in the Jiangnan area, and according to legend, the method of creating poisonous Gu is generally to put a variety of highly poisonous poisonous insects such as snakes and scorpions, scorpions, etc. into the same utensil, so that they can eat each other and kill each other, and the only remaining poisonous insect is Gu. There are many types of Gu, and the ones with great influence are snake Gu, dog Gu, cat ghost Gu, scorpion Gu, toad Gu, insect Gu, flying Gu, etc. Although Gu seems to be a tangible thing on the surface, since ancient times, Gu has been considered a mysterious thing that can fly, change, glow, and come and go like a ghost. Gu makers can use spells to remotely control Gu worms to bring various diseases to the target and even kill them. The ancients were convinced of the spell of poison Gu causing disease, and Song Renzong issued the book "Qingli Good Treatment Prescription" in the eighth year of Qingli to introduce the method of curing Gu, and even the medical books such as "Treatise on Diseases and Diseases", "Qianjin Fang", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other medical books have detailed medical prescriptions for the detailed analysis and treatment of the symptoms of Chinese Gu.

Most of the Gu insects mentioned by the pre-Qin people refer to naturally occurring mysterious poisonous insects. The long-term poisonous superstition has also developed the concept and practice of creating Gu and harming people. According to scholars' research, during the Warring States Period, people in the Central Plains had already used and taught the method of creating Gu and harming people.

Liu Li released the blood of the deceased Wang Banxian'er, filled half a bottle, and dripped a drop of snake venom into it to prevent coagulation.

"See what?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"That's not right...... Could it be that we are all wrong? There was no abnormality in his blood, so how did the poison spread to death without entering the bloodstream? Liu Li remembered the death of her sister-in-law Zhou Jin, and took the case: "It's broken!" If this Gu doesn't spread through the blood, then there is only one situation, eating! This kind of Gu will only attack if you eat it! Liu Li gradually touched the context of Wang Banxian'er's case: if you want to poison a master who knows Gu, then it will definitely be seen by others, and if you want him to eat it, you can only use some special means. If a person is pulled into the water, the most important thing for him is to breathe, and at this time, the murderer stuffs the poisonous Gu into Wang Banxian'er's mouth, and he may swallow the Gu.

This time, Huang Yi is right, a person who can be stabbed to death with a knife, the murderer has taken a lot of effort, which is clearly for Liu Li to see. It's like saying to him: You can't stop me.

"The murderer is in the prime of life, about twenty or thirty years old, a native of Hanjing, and has excellent water nature. Born in a large family, he has been psychologically traumatized or severely hit. Liu Li thought to himself: He must be an extremely crazy and extremely intelligent ghost, a hidden murderer.

Su Yuanyuan saw the worry in Liu Li's eyes, their opponent was not simple, and this murderer might just be a chess piece. The chess pieces are so terrifying, and the strength of the chess players must be beyond their comprehension.

Hou Yi asked, "Do you think it will be Pan Jinzhu?" ”

Hao Yingxin felt that Jia Yan's case was also suspicious, and Liu Li said that after countless tests, Jia Yan died suddenly of heart disease. Liu Li also thought about the possibility of being scared to death, but considering that Jia Yan had been in the army for many years and was very bold, this situation was basically impossible to happen. If it was a heart disease caused by drugs, it would definitely be detected, but Liu Li didn't find anything. Maybe Jia Yan's death was really an accident, but it is not difficult to see that the people behind Jia Yan and them are not afraid of others at all, and they don't even take the military seriously. Pan Jinzhu and Pan Jineel are all good at socializing, in the final analysis, the person in charge of the Pan family gang is still Pan Jineel, there is such a person on Pan Jinzhu's head, he can't be unscrupulous. Hao Yingxin said: "But it can't completely rule out the Pan family gang, after all, Li Tiedan has a confession first, and Pan Jineel is not good at stubble, the Pan family gang may be different from what we think." ”

"Speaking of Li Tiedan, I heard that he has been in the newspaper these days." Huang Yi said that Li Tiedan and Song Wenlong reformed and organized prisoners to exercise in prison, setting off a trend of fitness in prison. Huang Yi also quietly told Liu Li that Su Randong wanted to expand his military strength, but he was checked and balanced by the major competitors above, so he transferred many recruits to hide in the prison for training.

"Are the little leather shoes still staring?" Liu Li asked Huang Yize.

"Recently, he has been staring at Pan Jinzhu, and there has been no progress. Pan Jinzhu was born in the underworld, and he is a businessman, rich and powerful, even if you find out something, it is difficult to do anything to him. Huang Yi was a little worried, the Pan family gang destroyed countless opponents in the open and secret battles of the Jianghu forces, and they can still stand tall in Hanjing City, and their strength and prestige are obvious to all.

While several people were talking, Lang Lihao broke in: "Liu Li, let's search the lake according to what you said, trying to find clues." But when I got into the water, I realized that the water was wrong! There was a problem with the water in which the body was found, and this is the water we brought back. ”
