It's not uncommon for mushrooms to grow on rotten tree stumps, but I've never heard of mushrooms growing on people. Even Xu Wenlin paused: "What is this?"

Doctor Xie had already opened the chest cavity of the deceased, and said in a loud voice: "I'm ashamed, there are no new injuries on the top and bottom of Ma Weichang's body, I can't find the path of the poison invasion, and I still need Miss Tan to help." ”

Tan Qingshuang was on the side, and said softly when she heard the words: "This is the botulinum mushroom of the sunset swamp, which is naturally poisonous, just now I asked Mr. Xie for permission to put the seeds of the botulinum mushroom on the corpse, and now it has grown." She stretched out her hand to the deceased's chest and abdomen, "The more virulent the poison, the brighter the color and size of the botulinum mushroom, and the most toxin left near the wound is often the deepest, even if it is difficult to see with the naked eye, it can always be detected with botulinum mushrooms." ”

Others took a closer look, and sure enough, they found that the botulinum mushrooms growing on different parts of the corpse were different, the color of the limbs was light and small, and the closer to the chest and abdomen, the darker the mushroom body and the more vigorous it grew.

"The botulinum mushrooms that grow on the chest are the darkest in color, but there are no gaps in the skin, not even pinholes. So I opened the guard chief's chest to inspect it, and found it in the heart valve. Doctor Xie showed a small glass bottle in his hand.

The bottle is transparent, so you can see that there are two small ants inside!

They are half as small as ordinary ants, and those with poor eyesight are unable to see.

Tan Qingshuang lost her voice and said, "Heart Eater Ant?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered, she explained: "Although the Heart Eater Ant is small, it is an extremely fierce beast, born with all kinds of poison, and there are more than 100 of them, it only takes more than ten seconds to gnaw away the heart of an adult, and its symbol is a huge mouthpart that reaches half of the total volume. I've seen this thing in the book, but I didn't expect to see it in person one day. ”

Xu Wenlin's face was blue: "Ma Weichang was poisoned by two ants?"

"There are no wounds on my body. Dr. Xie added, "Ants may have penetrated through his ears, mouth, and nose." They are not much larger than dust, and even if they invade the human body, they will cause only mild discomfort. ”

Xu Wenlin said coldly: "In short, someone is secretly manipulating. ”

Qiao Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it may be any one of the bystanders." ”

Xu Wenlin glanced at him: "Maybe, but Your Excellency's suspicion has not been ruled out, but the scope of the suspect has been enlarged." He stood up, his face grim, "Now the blockade is against the east wind, upstairs and downstairs, including the idlers who watched the excitement at the time of the incident, no one is allowed to escape!"

Yao Niangzi said with a bitter face: "I have to go up quickly and talk to the guests." ”

Xu Wenlin beckoned to her: "You come with me." ”

Yao Niangzi had to keep up.

The two entered an account room not far away, Xu Wenlin set up the enchantment, and the anger that had been stored up for a long time floated on his face undisguisedly: "Waste, this matter is all because of you! Don't you have a brain, why did you have a conflict with Wei Envoy!" A pair of iron fists pinched and opened, opened and pinched, and had the intention to slap this shrew, and was afraid that there would be many people outside, and it would be bad for others to think that he had beaten the witness.

In the end, he could only poke the table twice hard, and poked two holes out.

Yao Niangzi looked at the two holes on the table, her eyes were shocked, but she immediately lowered her head: "I was wrong, I hated the Wei people too much." ”

She didn't make any excuses, but Xu Wenlin couldn't get out of her stomach in one breath, and took two steps back and forth before saying, "Tonight's murderer may be coming for the prince." I'll let you know what to say, and then you'll know how to respond. ”

Yao Niangzi raised her head suddenly: "Is this the case? These people are not going to kill Ma Weichang?"

"What's the use of killing him?" Xu Wenlin sneered, "Tonight, the prince will travel in micro-suits and have dinner in Shundongfeng." I don't know where they got the news. "He is in charge of the city guard, and such top-secret information naturally knows more than others.

Only then did Yao Niangzi know why he came to Shun Dongfeng, and said in a daze: "Then it was the chief of the horse guard who died?"

"What do you know?" Xu Wenlin snorted, "Using the Mind Eater Ant to kill people without a trace is far better than conventional methods, but how can this kind of strange beast be controlled like his own supernatural powers? ”

Accidental injury? Yao Niangzi froze for a long time before she said "oh".

Xu Wenlin had already walked back and forth in front of the table a few times, and then stopped and said, "Although it caused me trouble, it may not be a good thing." When the general ledger is calculated in the future, Wei Ren's sum cannot be erased. Oh, how do you know if it's a blessing?"

Yao Niangzi looked at him, as if she understood or not. Did the general decide that the Wei people were the murderers? So, why did he say that "it may not be a good thing," and could it be that the assassination of the crown prince was a good thing?

Xu Wenlin turned his head and saw her confused, and couldn't help scolding: "Silly girls!" He was in a better mood now, seeing that Yao Niangzi had a peach skirt and white shirt today, and her waist seemed to be thinner than before, so she added, "It's hard to forgive the sin, I'll clean you up at night!"

Yao Niangzi blinked twice, as if she knew that the storm had passed, and sighed: "The general has a new love at hand, right? How can you remember me, the old man?"

Xu Wenlin couldn't hear the resentment in her words, and glanced at her with slanted eyes: "Don't be unconvinced, she was born beautiful, but she is not as good as you." ”

Yao Niangzi held a towel to cover her mouth and smiled: "The general took out the means to deal with me to deal with her, and I was sure to succeed." ”

"That's a good family. ”

Yao Niangzi snorted: "Am I not?" looked him up and down, and opened his eyes, "Won't the general have not taken her yet?"

Being looked down upon by a woman like this, Xu Wenrin's face was gloomy, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, and his palm moved downward, about to grab her upturned p-shares.

But at this moment, a guard knocked on the door outside, and said hurriedly: "Wei has a guard who has fled! ”

Yao Niangzi immediately took a diagonal step out, but Xu Wenlin didn't say a word, and strode out: "Catch it back and review it carefully!"

......

This Wei servant didn't escape too far, because after the city guards chased him out of the hundreds of zhang, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain and trapped him in the center. But no matter how fast their hands and feet were, they couldn't move faster than the speed of the poison—and then they found Wei Shi lying on the ground, salivating and rolling at the corners of his mouth.

Within seconds, the man was dead.

When the corpse was moved back, Xu Wenlin's eyes were full of anger, as if he wanted to make a hole in it, but Qiao Tianxing's face was as white as paper, and he muttered, "How can this be?"

He was finally about to get rid of suspicion, what kind of madness did his guards have, they fled all the way and then committed suicide by taking poison, making it clear that they were afraid of crime and absconded! Now, how could Xu Wenlin not embarrass him?

Xu Wenlin really put his eyes on him, looking up and down: "What else does Wei Envoy have to say?"
