Tonight's moon is particularly round, and the cold moonlight shines on the thick snow, and the sky and the earth are white.

It was almost midnight, and by this time most of the Mongols had slept, and the vast steppe was quiet.

Naya fell to her knees on one knee, half-crouched in front of the yurt, her two big eyes staring closely at Daichin's tent in the distance.

There was a faint glimmer of light in Dai Qin's tent, and tonight, Ah Chong was alone in it, accompanied only by four cold corpses.

The white-headed dog slowly walked up to Naya and affectionately pulled his head into her arms.

This snow-white Samoyed dog was exchanged for two years ago by Suzhle and Ke from the aborigines of Siberia, and when it was first brought back, it was just a small white pom-pom, Naya liked it at first sight, and "snatched" it from Suri Le and Ke's hands, and got along with one person and one dog day and night, after two years of careful training, this Samoyed has grown tall and strong, and became the leader of Naya's shepherd dogs.

"Woo woo"

The white dog whimpered quietly in her arms, and Naya gently stroked the fluff on its neck to soothe its emotions.

This Samoyed is quite spiritual and can feel the joys and sorrows of its owner. I don't know what's wrong with it tonight, it's very clingy, and it follows Naya closely, and its eyes look left and right vigilantly.

The dogs are also a little strange tonight, they are usually quiet and well-trained, but tonight they seem to be a little flustered, walking back and forth around Naya, looking restless.

"Naya! It's so late, why don't you sleep? Dai Qin asked, opening the tent.

"Don't worry about it!" Naya said without looking back.

Dai Qin glanced at the tent in the distance, swallowed hatefully and slipped back into the tent.

Naya stared at the tent in the distance, her mind full of suspicions, "What is Ah Chong doing in there alone?" Why didn't he let us pass? Wouldn't he be afraid to be alone in it? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Naya finally decided to get up and slowly walked towards Ah Chong's tent.

The white dog followed, and suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes and pulled it back hard, making a "whine" sound in its mouth.

"Assal, what's wrong with you?" Naya crouched down and whispered in Samoyed's ear.

Asal shook his head, tugging at her clothes and pulling them back.

"Assal! Don't make a fuss, stay here and don't move! Naya patted her head and commanded in a low voice.

Seeing that Naya was angry, Asal did not dare to disobey her orders, and fell to the ground and looked at her pitifully.

Naya raised her finger and made a "shhhh

……

Ah Chong carefully examined the four corpses in the tent, all the clothes on the corpses had been removed, and they were lying naked on the wooden plank. Ah Chong tossed and turned and examined them for a long time, but he couldn't find a wound on them. 、

Scanning every inch of skin around them with a magnet, there was no trace of metal in their bodies.

Ah Chong touched the corpse with his fingers, and felt the muscles of the four people stiff as iron. Although the white plague caused the temperature on the grassland to drop to minus 10 degrees, the tent was still above freezing, and after a few hours of "thawing", the corpses should not be so stiff.

The four corpses still wore eerie smiles, as if the expression was permanently fixed on their faces.

Judging from the condition of the corpse, Ah Chong is ninety percent sure that this is a symptom of poisoning. But he examined the mouths and throats of four people, and there was no trace of poison. It seems that the toxin should go directly into the bloodstream, but the corpse has no wounds all over the body, so how did the toxin enter the human body?

Ah Chong sat in front of the four corpses and thought for a long time, when suddenly the light flickered, and Ah Chong saw a corpse with a strange expression.

Ah Chong stood up and stood in front of the corpse, carefully observing the eyes and expressions of "it", and suddenly found that it was a little different from the other three corpses, although it also had a strange smile on its face, but there seemed to be something strange in "it" eyes.

Ah Chong brought the light closer to "it" face and looked closely, and finally found a small hole in the neck under "it" ear - if you didn't press it with your fingers, you wouldn't have noticed this pinhole-like wound.

Ah Chong frowned, this situation was too strange.

The location of the wound is one of the major dead points of the human body - the carotid sinus. Within the carotid sinus are special sensory nerve endings that control blood pressure and heart rate in the brain. If an external force compresses the neck, it will instantly cause cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, causing short-term loss of consciousness. A single tap by a master here can make people faint or even die.

This pinhole-like wound pierced the artery under the skin, and if a normal person was punctured here, it would definitely bleed! Strangely, there was no blood around the wound and no blood oozing from under the skin.

Ah Chong examined the other three bodies and found no wounds in the same location, but under the hair on the back of their heads, they found wounds of the same size.

Ah Chong walked back and forth in the tent a few times, stood in front of the first corpse, and muttered:

"I see, all three of them were stabbed in the artery from behind unsuspectingly - it's just you, and you turn your face and see the person who killed you.

The look in your eyes tells me that this person is someone you know, that's why you're so surprised. ”

The four cold corpses lay there silently, the air in the tent seemed to condense, and the sound of the tip of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Ah Chong muttered to himself at the corpse, "It's a pity that you're dead, and you can't speak." ”

"However, I have a way for you to help me identify the murderer."

Ah Chong slowly took off his upper clothes, and the "green dragon"-like tattoo snaked from his wrist to his chest. Compared to the last time they met Zi Yang and the others, this "green dragon" seemed to have doubled in size, and its shape became more hideous.

Ah Chong sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and laid his hands on the dantian, after a while, the dragon pattern on his arm faintly glowed purple, and a layer of white frost gradually appeared on Ah Chong's face, and the temperature in the tent seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees, and a layer of white frost also appeared on the four corpses.

"Snort" There was a sudden soft sound outside the tent.

Ah Chong, who was sitting on the ground, opened his eyes, rushed out of the tent like a bolt of lightning, and raised his yin and yang hands to grab the shadow lying on the tent.

The shadow fell to the ground in fright, a flash of fear in his eyes.

"Brother Chong!"

"Naya?"

Ah Chong's yin-yang hand volleyed over Naya's head, just a few centimeters away from her head.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I say that anyone should not come near here! ”

"I—I'm worried about what happened to you, so I came over to see ......"

Naya fell to the ground, staring at Ah Chong's yin and yang hands in horror, and exhaled a thick white breath from her mouth as soon as she spoke.

It's cold!

"Stay away from her, or I'll shoot!" A deep voice could be heard in the distance. Dai Qin slowly walked from the shadows with a shotgun, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Ah Chong's head.

Ah Chong stood up straight and looked at him silently.

Naya hurriedly got up and ran over to grab Dai Qin's gun: "Don't shoot! It's a misunderstanding, Brother Chong didn't mean to scare me. ”

Dai Qin hesitantly put down the muzzle of the gun, looked at Naya in confusion and asked, "You, what are you doing here?" ”

Turning his head to look at Ah Chong, he asked again, "You, what are you doing?" ”

At this time, Ah Chong was naked, although he was thin, but his body was full of strong muscles, and the dragon patterns that snaked from his arms to his chest were shocking, and Dai Qin couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"You go and tell the nearby clansmen to come over, I have found the murderer." Ah Chong said coldly and slipped into the tent.

Naya and Dai Qin looked at each other.

"This man is insane, right?" Dai Qin looked down at Naya and said, "He—he didn't hurt you, did he?" ”

Naya shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you go and call my brother and them, I'll go find Abba, let's split up and tell everyone that Ah Chong has found the murderer." ”

Naya turned her head and ran towards the yurt, Dai Qin was stunned for a moment, glanced at his tent, turned around and reluctantly walked in the other direction, still muttering to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, you know that Brother Chong, who is protecting you, it's okay if his claws are stretched out to your face!" ”

After a while, the sleeping tribesmen in the nearby yurt were awakened, and when they heard that Ah Chong had found the murderer, everyone rushed over, and the huge tent was full of people after a while.

Ah Chong had already put on his clothes and stood there looking around at everyone.

Timur, Suzhlehok, Daichin, Naya...... Even the old white-bearded man who was going to drive him away during the day came, and there were others he hadn't seen at all.

Four corpses lay in a row in front of Ah Chong, and Ah Chong covered their bodies with blankets, exposing only their necks and heads.

Seeing that there were more and more people in the tent, and it was almost impossible to squeeze in, Timur turned to Ah Chong and said, "Almost, do you know how they died?" ”

Ah Chong nodded: "I not only know how they died, but also who killed them!" ”

Naya translated Ah Chong's words to everyone, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone whispered to each other.

Ah Chong carefully observed everyone's expressions and said slowly: "The murderer attacked from behind when they were defenseless, and stabbed them into the back artery of their head with a hidden weapon. The weapons used by the killers were coated with a very powerful neurotoxin, causing them to die instantly. The toxin enters the arterial bloodstream, so the person who is stabbed will have spasms in the limbs and have a distorted expression on the face. The large corpse plaques we saw earlier were caused by neurotoxins depositing in blood vessels. ”

Su Rile Hoke shook his head and said, "No, we have checked it several times, and there are no wounds on their bodies." ”

Ah Chong nodded and said, "The location where the murderer stabbed was very hidden, and the wound was extremely small, so we didn't find it at first. The murder weapon he used was a slender ice needle, a lethal weapon made of cold ice containing toxins, which was so sharp that the toxins in the ice needles immediately melted into the blood after piercing the arteries, causing the blood to clot rapidly. Because the ice sealed the wound, there was no blood on the skin, and after a long time, the ice needles slowly dissolved, so we couldn't find the murder weapon at all. ”

After Naya finished translating, everyone was in an uproar. Timur and Suzhl Hok also looked at each other.

Ah Chong waited for everyone to be in a commotion for a while, and then raised his voice and said: "The murderer stabbed three people to death in this way, but one person suddenly turned around when he made a move, and the murderer chose to pierce the ice needle into his carotid artery. ”

Ah Chong walked up to Su Rile and Ke and used his fingers to demonstrate the murderer's movements on the back of his head and neck, Ah Chong's technique was so fast that Su Rile and Ke did not have time to react at all. Before I could see his gestures, I only felt a chill on the back of my head and neck, which must have been hit by his fingers - if Ah Chong was holding a dagger or ice spike in his hand, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

Ah Chong turned around and gestured to everyone at the pinhole-like wounds on the back of the heads and necks of the four corpses, and everyone was in a commotion again, with a look of suspicion on their faces, as if they didn't believe that such a small wound could kill a strong young man in an instant.

A young man in the crowd shouted a few words.

Naya looked at Ah Chong and translated with some embarrassment: "He, he said that you are making up stories, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know how they died." ”

Naya turned to the man and said a few more words, as if defending Ah Chong.

Ah Chong smiled coldly:

"Not only did I see how the killer did it, but I also knew that he was here right now!"
