Chapter 656: Turn
"You're in charge of other people's homes! People finally have such delicious food, so you just let them take care of their meals, okay?"
Meng Yu just can't get used to seeing others dislike his little snake, so he naturally wants to say something.
"Okay, okay, you can pet it!"
Zilu didn't want to deal with this brother who doted on the little snake very much!
As far as Mengyu's love for this little snake is concerned, Zilu feels that even Aster is out of reach!
"You have to take care of it!"
Meng Yu glanced at Zilu.
"What I don't understand is who this kind of middle-aged man who has become a family has provoked? Of the fifteen, fourteen are men with the same characteristics, and the remaining one is a little younger!"
Suddenly, Zilu found a common denominator.
"Last time... I remember that most of them were middle-aged men, and there was only one woman. ”
Zilu didn't mention it, and Mengyu didn't notice it.
"Hmm. ”
Zilu nodded a little solemnly.
"It's really like you said, who are these middle-aged men provoking whom?"
Meng Yu felt a little strange.
"Brother, pay attention to the wording, it's a middle-aged man who has become a family!"
Zilu felt that Mengyu's description was not accurate.
After all, there is still a big difference between this man and whether he has a family or not.
"That's even worse, okay? They are the old and the young, and they are the pillars of the whole family! The whole pillar of the roof has collapsed, and their family is not in turmoil?"
Meng Yu felt that after these people were killed, he was afraid that it would cause a lot of turmoil.
"But I don't think so. Brother, you see, whether it was the last time we met or this time, there is another obvious characteristic between them, that is, they are all gorgeously dressed people. Although the race may be different, looking at this costume, it can also be speculated that it is a family with a wealthy family. Whether their family is in turmoil or not, it's hard to say!"
But Zilu felt that Mengyu was wrong about the point.
"Gorgeously dressed, middle-aged married man, violent corpse wilderness... What's the connection between these things?"
Meng Yu felt like her brain was going to get knotted.
"Brother, you have undercounted the inexplicable wolf howl, the mysterious crescent moon spring, and the round moon. ”
Zilu added.
"I know, I just didn't say it!"
Meng Yu glanced at Zilu in disgust, feeling like he was mentally retarded.
"I thought you forgot!"
Zilu smiled wryly.
"It's all the same way to be poisoned. And, Xiao Lu, you see, some of them are actually smiling. Isn't that when they die, they're still happy?"
Seeing the faces of these victims, Meng Yu felt very strange.
"Heh~ I don't know about this. It's a wonder that you can be so happy after being poisoned by this kind of poison that kills people!"
For the suspicion raised by Meng Yu, Zilu also felt quite amazing.
"Xiaolu, I have a bold guess!"
Suddenly, Meng Yu said coldly.
"What speculation?"
Zilu's eyes widened, waiting for Mengyu's next step.
"When they die, they are definitely not here!"
Meng Yu informed Zilu of his speculation.
"You mean... They were thrown here?"
Zilu processed the meaning of Mengyu reasonably.
"This is just speculation. If you think about it, you've been trying to persuade me not to take this path where I don't even have people. And, at that time, we didn't find any traces of people along the way, not even a single animal. How did these people end up here? They are so gorgeously dressed, they are not merchants, they should be some eunuchs. Why are they going to be in such a deserted place? Are they sick?"
Mengyu told Zilu about the process of his speculation, hoping that Zilu would discuss the possibility of this speculation together.
"Didn't you assume they were passing through?"
Zilu came up with a previous speculation by Mengyu that was contrary to the current speculation.
"However, you say that there are one or two unbelievers, but you are still right. Moreover, you can see that some of them are Han Chinese, some are Khitan, some are Hui people, and some of them even have very special ornaments belonging to certain ethnic groups. With such a complex racial composition, do you think it is credible to say that it is passing through?"
Ke Mengyu felt that today's discovery was enough to overturn the speculation at that time.
"What's going on here?"
Zilu looked around, seemingly unable to find an answer that could confirm Mengyu's speculation.
"It's a big project to move so many people. How did they get thrown through such a dense jungle with only one or two people allowed for them? We've been there for some time, but we don't see any sign of the opening. It is very likely that it is not people who are transporting them!"
Mengyu's speculation became more and more bold.
"Is it a wolf?"
Thinking of the wolf howl before, coupled with Mengyu's speculation, Zilu came to a possible conclusion.
"This... It's hard to say~"
Meng Yu said thoughtfully.
"Uh... The more you talk about it, the more infiltrating it becomes!"
Zilu was so cleaned by Meng Yu that her back was cold.
"We've found twenty-one bodies. ”
Meng Yu counted the number.
"Hmm~"
Zilu roughly calculated, no problem.
"Hey~ This thing is really incredible!"
Meng Yu really felt that his brain was a little knotted.
"It seems like we haven't found any more valuable clues, have we?"
Zilu looked around again, and felt that it was time to end.
“... No. ”
Meng Yu also took a look, and it was indeed so.
"Brother, your little snake has almost eaten, shouldn't we go?"
Zilu pointed to the ball creature on the ground that he almost didn't recognize, and said with a slightly awkward expression.
"Wait a minute, go and cut the skin of all of their calves to see if the bones inside are black. ”
Meng Yu suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that had not been verified, and hurriedly ordered.
"Hmm. ”
Zilu did as she was told.
"If nothing else, it's still black. ”
After being verified, Zilu shook her head in some frustration.
"What kind of poison is it that makes a person die happily and painlessly, and his face is swollen, shiny, and purple, and the bones are black?"
Meng Yu had a not-so-good guess about the source of the poison in his heart.
"Perhaps..."
A hint of darkness flashed in Zilu's eyes.
If it's really "that", I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.
"Xiaolu, do you remember where the little red dot we found was at the beginning?"
Meng Yu deliberately raised an issue that could have been overlooked.
"All of them have small red dots on the inside of their wrists, side by side. ”
Zilu remembers this clearly.
After all, this feature is so special that it's hard to forget, if not intentionally.
"It stands to reason that the skin on the hands is relatively sensitive, how can there be no feeling?
Meng Yu felt that there was some contradiction in this.
"Unless..."
A hint of clarity flashed in Zilu's eyes.
"Unless there's something in this poison that makes people unconscious!"
Mengyu pointed out the possible reasons.
"Well, that's also possible. ”
Zilu also speculated like this.
“... Brother, maybe there is another possibility. ”
After a pause, Zilu said suddenly.
"Huh?"
Meng Yu raised her eyebrows and motioned for Zilu to continue.
"The toxin spreads so fast that it doesn't even have time to react, and the person dies. ”
Zilu said another speculation of her own.
"Perhaps..."
Meng Yu's gaze returned to the victim, his eyes dark, as if he was thinking about the possibility of Zilu's speculation.
"Brother, I don't think this kind of poison is unique to the Central Plains. ”
Although the previous ones were all speculations, there is one thing, Zilu is relatively certain.
"Because the bones are black?"
Meng Yu thought that Zilu had the same idea as herself, so she said tentatively.
"Well, this poison is very similar to the poison that only exists within those mysterious tribes living in the southern Xinjiang region. ”
Zilu nodded.
"You mean Gu Poison?"
Mysterious tribes?
Could it be...
Meng Yu reacted suddenly.
"Hmm. ”
Zilu confirmed.
"However, if it's Gu poison, the little snake won't eat it!"
In this regard, Meng Yu spread his hands helplessly.
"Why?"
This is where Zilu doesn't know much about the little snake.
"Little snakes don't like the smell of bed bugs. Moreover, Gu poison is poisoned by using all kinds of refined insects as carriers. However, you see, the corpse we saw looked more like it was killed by being bitten and poisoned, rather than because of Gu worms in the body. Isn't that a bad number?"
Meng Yu put forward a basis for denying Zilu's speculation.
"But, Gu poison can also be refined! Besides, brother, how are you sure they were bitten?"
But Zilu felt that Mengyu's speculation was untenable.
"Come here, crouch down, and take a closer look at those little red dots. ”
Meng Yu beckoned to Zilu, then flicked the arm of one of the victims with a dagger, pointing at the red dot.
"Is there anything special?"
Zilu squatted down and took a closer look, but didn't notice it.
"In the middle of the little red dot is a small hole. The small hole was so deep that it almost penetrated the bones of the wrist. Such a wound is either a special sharp weapon or a bite. However, if it is injured by a sharp weapon, then the center of the sharp weapon must be empty, so that the venom can be smoothly put into the bones of these people. However, when they were injured by a sharp weapon, the pain should have come first, and how could they still laugh and die? However, if it is a bite, I think it would be more reasonable. Since their wound is on the inside of the wrist, this position is very hidden. Isn't biting a better way to be unaware?"
In order to let Zilu see clearly, Meng Yu simply cut the victim's arm in the direction of the red dot, displayed and analyzed.
"That's right!"
After taking a closer look, Zilu couldn't deny Mengyu's statement.
"It seems that things are not as simple as we thought. ”
Meng Yu put the dagger away, and said with a complicated look in his eyes.
