After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 543 Bai Ziqi's request

   So it was Gu? "It's really fast, less than thirty breaths from head to tail."

  Bai Ziqi signaled to the doctor that the autopsy can be done, and then said to the two:

"I have traveled all over Bega. I have seen this kind of case in Sula country twenty years ago, and I have also done special research. The deceased was a servant of a high-ranking official. After poisoning his master, he himself died. He was poisoned by the same fate Gu The person killed is almost this death."

"Same life Gu has one egg and two worms. One of the larvae is planted in the heart, and it feeds on hard work and true strength. After three hundred days, it will grow up and have the ability to threaten the host. But at that time, the Gu worm host will also It is completely under the control of the Gu raiser, because they can trigger the Gu to kill at any time and take their lives."

  He Lingchuan interrupted: "What does concentricity mean?"

"Identical twin Gu worms, a potential victim's heart, is called a male worm, also known as a 'tsugger', and the other yin worm is of course in the hands of the Gu keeper. This thing can not eat for a long time, but the raised worm Containers are very important, they cannot be stored in gold, porcelain, jade and other utensils, they must not be soiled, and they must be waterproof.”

  Fu Shanyue asked casually: "Then what else can it hold, bamboo?"

   "Yes, bamboo tubes are generally used." Bai Ziqi also felt ironic, "The bamboo tubes used by Beijia to produce chewing tobacco are very suitable."

  Bamboo tube?

   Gu worms packed in bamboo tubes?

  He Lingchuan's eyes were fixed.

  In addition to chewing tobacco from various countries, I seem to have heard people mention bamboo tubes somewhere, but I didn't remember it for a while.

"It's also very simple to kill people, because the two worms that have been refined by a special method live and die together. As long as the yin worm is crushed to death, the yang worm will also die in a riot within dozens of breaths. Before it dies, it will wantonly Destroy the host's body, and even release poison to attack the meridians, so Wu Kai will have this dead look."

  The doctor under Fu Shanyue is actually very professional. During the conversation between the three, he had already cut out the heart of the deceased, drained the blood, and showed it to all the adults.

  Wu Kai's heart is full of small holes, almost like a sieve. No one can survive this kind of injury.

  Bai Ziqi sighed, "Cut it open and have a look."

  The doctor obeys orders.

  Wu Kai's heart was cut open, and the eyes of the three present were burning, but they didn't see anything abnormal for a moment.

   Instead, the doctor observed for a long time and picked out a slender purple-black strip from the myocardium with the tip of a knife, which looked like a blood clot.

   "Is this the chigger Bai Dushi mentioned?"

  Wu Kai suffered a serious crime before his death, suffered a heart attack, and it is normal to have blood clots. As soon as he pulled it apart, everyone realized that it was indeed a worm, but the abdomen and legs were not obvious.

  Fu Shanyue scratched the back of his head, and said irritably: "What's the use of knowing that he died of peach heart poison? You can't open your mouth when you die!"

  Wu Kai's mouth was sealed, and some secrets were destined to be brought into the coffin by him. If we can't dig deeper, the main culprit in the elixir case can only be Cen Boqing.

   This is to nail all the charges on him.

"The same fate Gu is planted in people's hearts, and it takes a year to cultivate it. Once activated, no magic powers can stop it, and even the substitute death technique will not work, because even if the injury is removed, the Gu insect will still Stay in the heart of the original host. It can be said that if the Gu holder wants you to die, you have to die." Bai Ziqi thought while saying, "But I heard that the same fate Gu is extremely difficult to refine, not only the success rate is low, but the proficient There are only a handful of them. If they were not worried about Wu Kai revealing the secret, they would probably not be in a hurry to kill him."

  Fu Shan looked up and looked at him with hopeful eyes: "Can we start from this aspect?"

  Bai Ziqi has investigated cases in this area before, and there may be corresponding resources that can be mobilized.

   "Maybe, I have to write a few letters and ask an old friend from the past to look it up."

  Fu Shanyue let out a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's good that the clues are not broken."

  The three of them walked up, and just arrived at the inn yard, just in time to see the sky in the east turning pale.

  Bai Ziqi glanced at He Lingchuan and smiled wryly, "It's almost dawn, it seems God doesn't want us to rest."

  He also specially made some arrangements with Cheng Yu.

  Fu Shanyue invited him: "How about going to my courtyard for a tea break?"

  Bai Ziqi didn't put on airs, and nodded immediately: "Okay, I heard that Chiyan has a lot of good tea."

  He has never seen any storms, but there are very few cases that can trigger so many accidents in one day.

  The three of them walked to Fu Shanyue's site, and their own guards removed the prince's previous remnant seat, and served tea and snacks.

"Cen Boqing's clue is probably the only one we can find for the time being." Fu Shan was not without regrets, "Mai Xuewen's whereabouts are also missing, so it's difficult to deal with. By the way, according to my father and king, Mai Xuewen's raised The monster seems to have some background."

  Snail toad? He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to kowtow on the surface. Fu Shanyue didn't mention this before, they already know that Snail Toad is Dong Rui's work?

  Bai Ziqi: "Oh?"

"His subordinates rely on this monster to escape from the ground to catch monsters. They come and go without a trace, and they act very covertly. But this monster is all based on the hard shell on its back. He Xiao once set up a trap in Zhitian Township to catch it, but its shell The tortoise is a hundred times more durable than a tortoise, and hundreds of officers and soldiers have the power, but it still escaped." Fu Shan said slowly, "After this matter was reported, the father said that the hard shell was very similar to what he used to A magic weapon I heard."

   "Oh?" Not only He Lingchuan was engrossed, but Bai Ziqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

"One of the treasures of the Qing Palace, the Snail House." Fu Shanyue continued, "This is the natal magic weapon of the ancient Snail Fairy. It is said that it took thousands of years to polish it. Not only is it extremely hard, but it is also a palace of its own inside. It can accommodate hundreds of people, and it is extremely wide. But the snail fairy died before the battle of destroying the world, and this hard shell has never been able to control other monsters. Somehow, it wandered in Bega and entered the ranks of Qing Palace collections."

  Bai Ziqi remained silent, and He Lingchuan acted as his supporter: "The treasure of the Qing Palace, how could it be related to Mai Xuewen?"

  Bai Ziqi immediately said: "He Xiao, be careful with your words!"

  He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "I want to ask if there is something else hidden in this?"

  Bai Ziqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "A batch of treasures were stolen from the Qing Palace more than ten years ago, including this dwelling."

   "Even the Qing Palace has lost its things!" He Lingchuan was surprised, "Who has this kind of ability, a thief?"

  "...Yes." This kid hit the nail on the head, "It was the work of the insider. Although the thief was shot to death later, many treasures have disappeared since then and have not been recovered."

  He Lingchuan was puzzled: "How could Cen Boqing, who is in Lingxu City, not know about such a big event?"

  If Cen Boqing knew, Wu Kai would probably know too. How could Mai Xuewen dare to use Snail House casually?

  Bai Ziqi didn't answer, Fu Shanyue laughed and said, "Because most people in Lingxu City don't know about it. The Qing Palace has covered up this matter. Even if Da Sinong knew about it, he might not tell his son-in-law."

   "But Dijun... well, I mean, everyone who should know already knows?"

   "Of course." Fu Shanyue pointed to his nose, "Don't my family know about it?"

   "Then forget about the lost magic weapon?"

  Fu Shanyue teased: "The aura of heaven and earth is so thin, how many ancient treasures are turned into scraps every year, and can only be sold at antique prices, do you know?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head without hesitation, like a bumpkin.

   In this regard, he was originally a bumpkin. In terms of origin, antiquities, and financial resources, how can Yuan Country compare with Beja?

  The family has a vast land and rich resources, and there are so many antiques that they don’t feel bad if they are broken casually. One or two pieces in the Yuan Kingdom have to be offered as treasures to the heavens, and there is no family to lose.

"The lost treasures and resold antiques are mostly reported as damaged or aged. You can even say that you accidentally smashed them, and no one will hold them accountable. These things are hidden in the deep palace. If you know it and don’t care, why tell them?” Fu Shan smiled more and looked at Bai Ziqi, “Bai Dushi must also know this semi-public secret.”

  Bai Ziqi coughed lightly, but did not deny it.

  He Lingchuan came to a sudden: "So it is!"

"The thief who entered the palace to steal the treasure back then is dead, but the snail house fell into Mai Xuewen's hands and used it to make trouble." Bai Ziqi said slowly, "When I go back to the Qing Palace, I still have to visit Qingyang Guoshi, and then find him again. some clues."

  This sentence is a disguised admission, and now he has nothing to do with Mai Xuewen.

He Lingchuan summed it up for him in his mind. Mai Xuewen, the fugitive who robbed and killed Zhong Sunmou, is still at large, and there is no other way for the time being; the re-offender Wu Kai died violently. The only result is that Cen Boqing has pleaded guilty, and the evidence about him Unmistakable.

   Mrs. Cen Yao Xingning sent him an important witness, that is, an actor from Tingheyuan and Wu Kai's connector, but the clues found from this person have to go back to Lingxu City to continue.

  Then, the case of the elixir drug has been investigated in Baishazhen, and Bai Ziqi has no reason to stay any longer.

   Unless, another task he wants to do is also related to this place.

  What will he do next?

  Fu Shanyue has already opened his mouth to ask: "Then Bai Dushi intends to return to Lingxu City and continue to handle the case?"

  He wanted to track the progress of the case, and of course he wanted to inquire about Bai Ziqi's next plan.

  Bai Ziqi didn't seem to have made up his mind, he turned the teacup several times in his hand, and finally nodded: "Well, I will **** Cen Boqing back. He Xiao—"

  He looked at He Lingchuan: "You have intersected with Cen Boqing, Zhong Sunmou, Mai Xuewen and others. As a witness, you have to come with me."

   "Huh?" He Lingchuan pointed at himself with a look of surprise, "I have to go too?"

  Oh, Bai Ziqi really made this request to him. Want to interrogate him on the way, right?

  Bai Ziqi smiled and nodded: "The prince will not be reluctant, will he?"

"Where will it happen?" Fu Shanyue raised his hand to make him a cup of tea, and then said to He Lingchuan, "Let's not talk about the bustling clouds and mist, Lingxu City has outstanding people, and can be called the only beauty in the world. Wouldn't it be fun for us to visit the mountains and rivers all the way there? !"

  Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Us?"

"That's right." Fu Shanyue grinned, showing his big white teeth, "I'll go too. The Chiyan demon people were killed, and my father insisted that I investigate thoroughly. Oh, then why don't I go and see? "
