After working together for a long time, it was still a harmless and non-toxic conclusion, I was a little depressed for a while, and my already panicked heart strongly retreated.

"Huh? What is it? โ€

I was struggling with whether to evacuate this ghost place, but I saw the old Taoist priest turn Luo Dongyang's body over, and saw that his back was on the left side, and there was a small trace of bruises that were almost invisible.

"This position ......" The old Taoist priest's eyes flashed, and he laid the corpse flat on his back, beckoning me to bring the oil lamp closer, "Take a look at the position of his chest." โ€

In the dim light of the oil lamp, I saw that there was a very small red dot on Luo Dongyang's left chest, which was almost undetectable.

"Sure enough!" The old Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully.

"How?" I asked, imperceptibly.

The old Taoist priest deliberately sold a pass, and asked me to find the body of another deceased, Wu Xiaoyi, and sure enough, there was also a very small red dot on his left chest.

The old Taoist priest blew his beard with satisfaction, "There are no hidden murder methods in this world, and you can escape the torch-like eyes of the Taoist master!" It was like a peerless master's lonely expression.

"Uh-huh! Master is wise and discerning! I hurriedly gave a big sycophant, "Can you tell the apprentice how these two men died?" โ€

"It's not poisoning, it's assassination!"

My eyes widened: "How do you kill without a trace?" โ€

"Look," the old Taoist priest pointed to a little red on Wu Xiaoyi's chest, "The killer used a hidden weapon as thin as a millimeter to pierce the heart of the deceased with extremely sharp means, and he passed through. The deceased did not feel any pain when he was recruited in junior high school, but as his heart slowly bleeds, he will die unconsciously a few hours later! โ€

I see...... The medical methods of the Ming Dynasty were not developed enough, coupled with the influence of feudal concepts, when the Yamen did the autopsy, they only examined the surface of the corpse, and did not dissect the corpse, so this kind of murder method is admittedly difficult to be seen.

It's just that to aim an extremely thin hidden weapon at the heart from a distance, it takes a lot of strength and precision to do it, "Master, there is indeed such a secret weapon in the world?" โ€

"As far as I know, there are two kinds of hidden weapons that can achieve this effect." The old Taoist priest muttered, "One is the Ice Spirit Silver Needle, and the other is the Heavenly Maiden Flying Silk!" โ€

"Celestial Maiden Flying Silk? Nangong family? Peacock Villa? โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ What peacock what lodge? The old Taoist priest looked at me with an inexplicable expression, "The Heavenly Maiden Feisi is a kind of secret weapon that circulates in the Mobei Shamanism, because of the many taboos in the sect, there are very few people in the world who will use this secret weapon now. โ€

It seems that the era I traveled through is the Ming Dynasty, which has nothing to do with Mr. Gulong.

I was thinking wildly when I was caught off guard and an old Taoist priest shouted: "Emma! What the heck?! I'm scared to death! โ€

I turned my head and saw the indescribably terrifying face under a bloodstained white cloth that had been uncovered by the old Taoist priest, and I swallowed my saliva: "Master, this is the red basket." โ€

Red Basket was the first female ghost to go berserk, and the only one I ever witnessed. It has been more than ten days since she died, and her body has begun to decay and deteriorate, and green corpse spots have appeared on her waxy skin, which is particularly terrifying with her bloody wounds dripping with eversion.

"Master's use of poison is unparalleled in the world, so it is natural to see what kind of poison this woman planted and went crazy?"

The old Taoist priest silently accepted my compliment, looked cautious again, put on the white gloves of the moon, pressed them on several large holes of the red basket corpse, and shook his head in embarrassment.

Then I was asked to bring the lamp again, bent down, and carefully "scanned" the tip of my nose from head to toe almost touching the corpse.

This kind of professionalism touched me so much that I didn't want to, and I secretly decided that I must be kind to my master and old Taoist priest in the future, at least ...... It's good to pit him less twice.

"Huh?" I heard the old Taoist priest's low question, and then my eyes lit up and I stepped forward.

The old Taoist priest handed me the lamp, took out a sharp knife from his sleeve, made a cut between the ribs of the female corpse, and then pressed it gently, and saw a small amount of black-green viscous liquid gushing out.

The old Taoist priest took out a strip of white cloth and dipped it in a little mucus, picked it up and looked at it very carefully, and then leaned over to his nose and sniffed it, and then ......

"Master, are you alright?" Seeing the old Taoist priest bending over and vomiting, my already unbearable stomach was also churning, but I forcibly stepped forward and patted him on the back, "Why don't we go out first to breathe?" โ€

Master nodded in agreement, and the two of us trotted out of this place that scared people to death.

It seems that it is admittedly not a good habit to sniff things...... I frowned and stared at the strip of white cloth stained with a green viscous inexplicable liquid that was still held by the old Taoist priest, "Master, is this thing still useful?" "It's all snorting and vomiting for you, and you haven't lost it yet?

The old Taoist priest raised the liquid in front of his eyes and looked at it, forcibly endured the vomiting sensation that was about to come out again, and nodded: "In the whole world, only the Taoist master recognizes it!" โ€

Those eyes full of justice and wisdom, as if Conan were saying "There is only one truth!" โ€

"It can't be the poison of the Tang Sect again, right?" The shadow of the ghost golden sheep flashed in my mind.

"I don't have to lose the poison of conscience like this!" Although the old Taoist priest boasted that he didn't care about the world, he still defended the Tang Sect a lot in his words, "This is a strange poison in the Western Regions, called Xiangsi Winding Beam, colorless and tasteless, and even the poisonous silver needle can't detect it." If it weren't for the faint blue mark between the ribs of the female corpse just now, even Dao Ye and I wouldn't think about this peerless poison. โ€

"Such a powerful ......"

"What's really powerful about it, Dao Ye hasn't said it yet!" The old Taoist priest glanced at me with disdain, "The most powerful thing about this incense is that people who take poison will not immediately show symptoms of poisoning, on the contrary, this poison will slowly invade people's internal organs like maggots on the tarsal bones, slowly infiltrate into the nerves of the brain, and wait for the opportunity to ...... like an invisible killer."

I understood that this was a latent type of poison, "How long can it be hidden?" And how do you have a seizure? โ€

The old Taoist priest glanced at me unhappily, obviously dissatisfied with me, and interrupted his description in a hurry: "A day or two is fine, or decades, depending on when the poisoner sends the signal." โ€

"What kind of signal?"

"This ...... I don't know. There was a little regret in the old Taoist's tone, "The signal that lures the poison is the secret of this poison." No one knows except those who can poison them. However, according to Dao Ye's guess, it was supposed to be something that could be seen and heard by the poisoned person, smelled or eaten, which caused the poison of incense in the body, and immediately acted like a ghost. โ€

It was a fruitful night's adventure, and with the help of my beloved Master, the mystery of the deaths of the women and the two high-ranking officials was finally solved.

The only fly in the ointment was that Master complained to me afterwards: "The legendary moonlit night of the 24th Bridge is not as delicious as you described. "The face is full of a sense of being deceived.

I can only hehe, thinking that this is mainly your technical problem, after all, not everyone has Huang Rong's skill.

"I found the cause of death of the female ghost and the high-ranking official of the household department?"

Li Lei only had one sound arm left and slapped it on the table, and the person jumped up like a lit cannonball.

For his excitement that is a little too much, I deeply understand that the last three days are not left before the deadline for Lord Fu Yin to solve the case for him, and the pressure he has been under in the past few days is so great that it is estimated that he will almost wipe his neck and hang himself.

"Yes, I took it upon myself to invite a friend from the rivers and lakes who is proficient in poison techniques to visit the morgue of Ying Tianfu last night."

"Miss Leng has a wide range of contacts, and she has met so many talented people with unique skills, and she admires and admires them!" Li Lei was so excited that he forgot about his injured right arm, and instantly bared his teeth in pain, "However, if Miss Leng wants to inspect those corpses, tell me, I will arrange for you to go openly, why bother to explore at night?" โ€

Me: "......"

Fortunately, Li Lei didn't plan to continue talking about this embarrassing topic, but instead changed the conversation, "Hey? Speaking of which, I drank a little too much that day, and in a flash, the girl will be gone," his eyes faintly lit up with gossip again, "Was it taken away by your friends in the rivers and lakes?" โ€

I rolled my eyes helplessly: "Does Li Zhutou still want to listen to the truth?" โ€

He immediately relented: "Yes!" Want! โ€

I shared what I saw last night with Li Lei.

"Fragrant silk is around, there is such a strange poison in the world!" Li Lei sighed, "It's just, who poisoned them?" โ€

"Who is unknown." I've thought about these questions carefully, "But Li Zhutou should remember one detail: these four women are all from the Teaching Division." โ€

"You mean, the poison was planted when they were in the Workshop Division?" Li Lei's eyes lit up, "Indeed, the Jiaofang Division is the place where official prostitutes are cultivated, and the girls from the Jiaofang Division are widely favored by Jinling officials and magnates. โ€

"Therefore, someone gave the girls of the Jiaofang Division incense silk around the beam poison, and when they leave the Jiaofang Division, it is equivalent to planting a time bomb next to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Jinling, and if necessary, it will be detonated at any time!"

"What is a ticking time bomb?" Li Lei is unaware of the question mark face again.

"It's not important, the important thing is that now we have figured out that the female ghost who goes crazy because of the poison is actually just a cover, covering people's eyes and ears. What the mastermind behind the scenes really has to do is to take advantage of the woman's madness and attract the attention of others, and unknowingly kill the court officials, and then create an illusion of being frightened to death. โ€

"This inference makes sense in Luo Dongyang," Li Lei was a little puzzled, "but what about Wu Xiaoyi? When Ji Tassel went crazy, he was the only one alone. โ€

"Wu Xiaoyi, there is indeed a difference."
