When the people from the yamen saw the jade plaque, they immediately opened the morgue door for me. Others could only wait in line. This time I came wearing a black gauze hat and my black clothes changed into the style I usually wear.
People queuing up in the courtyard didn’t know who I was, and they all speculated about my background.
They didn't whisper anything, and I could hear the discussions at normal volumes.
They think the person who holds the Lu family's universal jade plaque must be the Lu family.
In the morgue, I saw the corpses of the two victims. According to the legend outside, their facial features turned into black holes, the wounds on the edges were relatively neat, and there were no traces of burns on other parts.
It's like someone burned holes in their face with a precise laser.
But there is no laser technology in this world. The body was surrounded by ice and well preserved. I approached the body and checked it with my supernatural power.
Okay, it’s a living thing again!
There are still living things dormant in the body of the corpse, but they are extremely small and should be insect eggs.
The autopsy technology in this world is relatively simple, and there is no such thing as a big dissection.
Opening the cavity is the limit, and the internal organs will not be cut open to see.
Only observe the size, color changes, etc. of the internal organs.
No wonder the Fairy Swordsman said that the records he made were of little use.
The eggs parasitize in the heart of the deceased, causing them to die suddenly and suddenly, so they die quickly and without shouting before death.
The bugs grow up and get into the brain, eat up the brain tissue, burn through several 'doors' and leave the human body.
It’s bugs again, it’s killing people using living creatures again…
After Chiyue appeared, I began to wonder. The bone-eating worm she kept in her palm had long since disappeared. Where did she get it?
This thing is hard to come by. Just like the martial arts secret book in the cave, many people have been searching for it for hundreds of years but have not found it. I didn't know it, but I got it accidentally.
If she wasn't lucky, someone must have given it to her.
The parasites in the main body of the Lu Alliance, the bone-eating insects of Chiyue, and the serial killer bugs at present. Who in the world can keep so many strange bugs?
If bugs were used to infect people, that would explain why these victims died at the same time.
As long as they are infected at about the same time, the onset time will naturally be the same.
The growth cycle of insects is still very stable.
The victims must have visited the same place before returning to their respective residences.
Regardless of whether they go together or separately, the time of recruitment will not differ much.
I left the morgue and as soon as I stepped out of the Yamen gate, the Fairy Swordsman caught up with me.
"Girl...girl, wait for me."
I didn't listen to him and continued walking out, but didn't speed up the pace.
He followed me for some distance, and then I asked: "Xian Jian Da Xia, what do you want from me?"
The Immortal Swordsman smiled with a smile on his face: "Girl, I was blind before, and I didn't realize that the girl was a talented person from the Lu family. But... the girl doesn't look like the Lu family. Could it be that she is the recent visitor from the Lu family?"
"Your eyes are not clumsy." The gauze on my bamboo hat almost covered my knees, covering my whole body, so he could still recognize me.
"Girl, can you take a moment to speak?" The fairy swordsman still smiled.
People were coming and going on the street. They were all martial artists with very good ears. I nodded and followed him to the door of a small courtyard.
The courtyard is in a remote location, with no other buildings around, only vegetable fields and woods.
He invited me to sit under the grape trellis in the courtyard. He brought out herbal tea and a nut platter and entertained me warmly.
"Xianjian Daxia, you might as well just tell me if you have something to do." I left the tea and nuts untouched.
"Alas, that's it. I heard that the girl's medical skills are far superior to those of the medical immortals, and she has the ability to bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate."
"The rumors are exaggerated."
"I...I want to ask the girl to save someone."
"Oh?" What he said was beyond my expectation. I thought he was going to ask about the autopsy. He was so concerned about catching serial murderers that he came to me specifically, but not to investigate the case?
"I have an adopted son. His parents died when he was young. He had a poor life. He wandered around the world for several years and suffered a lot. His parents and I were old acquaintances. His parents entrusted him to me before they died. But because someone interfered with it, he and I were unable to meet him. I have been looking for his whereabouts for these years. I just found him last month, but he has been infected with a strange poison. I went to many doctors, but none of them could cure him. , I heard that a distant visitor came to the Lu family’s house, and he has great medical skills. However, with my identity, I can’t meet this expert at all. I never thought that I was lucky enough to meet this expert today. I really didn’t expect that the expert was so young. Girl."
What the Immortal Swordsman said was sincere and the energy changes were very 'positive', so it should be the truth.
When a person lies and tells the truth, the energy in the body changes differently.
I can therefore tell if they are lying without having to look at their facial expressions.
"What kind of strange poison?"
"At first, I only felt sleepy more and more times a day, and then my sleeping time became longer and longer. In recent days, I have been sleeping all day long. Now I can still drink some rice soup. If..."
"I treat diseases, which is very expensive."
"Yes, yes, no matter how much it costs, just ask."
"I'll look at the patient first and then make an estimate."
"Please come with me."
The Fairy Swordsman led me into the house to the west. As expected, there was a young man lying on the bed, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
He was so thin that he was almost out of shape, but other than that, he looked normal on the outside, just like he was sleeping normally.
I asked the fairy swordsman to wait outside the house and never come in to disturb me from examining the patient.
The fairy swordsman immediately exited the room, closed the door tightly, and stood guard outside.
I used my supernatural powers to examine the boy, and was surprised that he also had worms in his body. The worms constantly secreted 'sleep hormone', which is a hypnotic substance secreted by the human brain itself, causing the boy to fall asleep, as if he was anesthetized.
If you don't wake up from sleep for a long time, you may actually sleep to death.
This insect has no other abilities, but it is easy to handle. I made an offer to the fairy swordsman, and he agreed without any hesitation.
I treated the boy on the spot for deworming. His wounds were small and it was not complicated to remove the bugs, so I didn’t ask for much and only took the Fairy Swordsman 500 taels of silver.
As long as he can persuade one person to use his connections to go to the morgue for an autopsy, the money will be back.
There are too many people in the city who are eyeing the bounty, and no one will be tempted.
I didn't throw away the bug I took out from the boy's body. I put it in a bamboo tube and took it back to study.
This boy and this insect may very well be the clues to solving the case.
But the boy didn't wake up for the time being, so I told the Fairy Swordsman that he would call me when he wakes up.
The fairy swordsman's smile was much more sincere now, and he said a lot of words of gratitude.
It seemed like this young man really was someone he cared about.
"Girl, dare I ask my surname?" The Fairy Swordsman waited until I walked out of the yard before he remembered that he hadn't asked me my name yet, so he hurriedly chased me out and asked.
"Angel." I left my name and turned to leave.
Back in the Luzhai guest room, three grown men were staring at each other.
"What's wrong with this?" I took off my hat and put it on the table aside.
"Madam! You are finally back. The young master insists on climbing the jujube tree in the courtyard. Xiao Xin and I are staring at him." Guard Jia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me entering.
