Chapter 552: Seven Corpse Gu (Part 2)
Since an autopsy is required, it is normal to dissect the body.
But everyone present thought that she was just taking a quick look, and no one thought she would go this far.
Fan Chengzhuo looked unhappy, but it was not a good time for him to speak up to stop him.
Lian Zhou came to Xiao Wu, saw this scene, and subconsciously moved his feet to block Xiao Wu's sight.
Xiaowu raised his little face and blinked.
Lian Zhou squatted down and grinned at her: "What's so good about this? The shadow play at the market over at Xijiang Bridge is more interesting! Especially during the Lantern Festival, the streets are full of delicious food and fun things! How about, let my son take you to have a look later?"
Xiaowu was indeed interested and his eyes lit up!
——Okay, okay! By then, she will be with her elder sister and third brother... huh? Why is there still a prince?
Xiao Wu glanced at Shen Yanchuan hesitantly.
Although she also likes the Crown Prince very much, the New Year holidays are the busiest time. There must be a lot of things going on in the Beihou Mansion, right?
Can the prince spare some time to accompany them?
Lian Zhou patiently persuaded: "It will be more lively when there are more people, right? Besides, if you bring our young master with you, he will definitely pay for it. Just ask for whatever you want, he will definitely agree!"
Xiaowu was immediately even more excited.
——No, no money?
But she came to her senses the next second and shook her head like a rattle.
——No, no! The Crown Prince had previously saved my sister's life, and she was planning to prepare a gift to express her gratitude during the New Year!
But my third brother said that the prince’s house lacks nothing, so it would be meaningless to give him those ordinary things.
She must give her something very special!
I haven't thought about it yet, how can I take advantage of the prince again?
Lian Zhou watched her gestures and probably guessed what she meant. He chuckled and nodded in that direction.
"What's the big deal? Look, didn't your elder sister save our prince's life today? It was such a big fire! She rushed in without blinking an eye!"
There was a hint of confusion in Xiaowu's eyes.
Hmm... when sister went in, Lord Lianzhou seemed not to have arrived yet? Why does he say this as if he saw it with his own eyes?
But this seems to be true, Sister is indeed...
Xiaowu stood on tiptoe, grabbed Lian Zhou's clothes and tilted his head to look over there.
Lian Zhou scratched his head.
This little girl is really brave. She is not afraid even of such a scene.
It seemed that his worry was a bit unnecessary.
…
The skin and flesh were cut open, revealing the internal organs.
Ye Chutang frowned slightly.
Shen Yanchuan noticed something and followed her gaze.
On the surface, nothing seems to be wrong.
But Ye Chutang's expression...
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanchuan asked.
Ye Chutang didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the second body and did the same examination.
Until the chests of those people were cut open, Fan Chengzhuo finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Miss Ye Er, what on earth are you going to do?!"
Ye Chutang finally stopped, but did not respond to Fan Chengzhuo. Instead, he looked at Shen Yanchuan.
"They are not poisoned, they are poisoned."
"insanity!?"
Shen Yanchuan immediately realized something and looked towards the bodies on the ground.
"You mean, these people are——"
"Yes, they all died from the poison."
Ye Chutang walked towards the jailer who was holding a torch.
"Can you lend me the torch, please?"
"Huh? Oh, oh okay!"
The jailer quickly handed over the torch.
Ye Chutang thanked him, turned around and came to the corpses again.
Then, she held the torch and headed towards the chest of the corpse.
“Wait!”
Fan Chengzhuo immediately spoke out to stop him.
"What is Miss Ye going to do? If the body is damaged, won't it be troublesome!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "Who said I want to burn the body?"
"But you—"
Fan Chengzhuo's face turned cold, and he looked at Shen Yanchuan again.
"Prince, are you really not going to stop her? Miss Ruoye——"
"No matter what she does, I will bear all the consequences." Shen Yanchuan interrupted him, "Does Master Fan have any objections?"
"I--"
What else does Fan Chengzhuo have to say?
Chen Yanchuan really blocked the road!
Just when he was in a dilemma, an exclamation from the crowd suddenly caught his attention.
"Look! What is that!?"
Fan Chengzhuo was stunned and subconsciously looked towards Ye Chutang. The next second, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his hair stood on end!
I saw the torch hanging low, and as the blazing flame approached the corpse, the exposed heart suddenly began to move!
It seemed like there was something hidden underneath, running back and forth!
Such a scene is like seeing a ghost!
Even Fan Chengzhuo, who was used to seeing all kinds of bloody scenes, couldn't help but take a step back, his face pale: "That, that is--"
The torches burned and crackled.
Ye Chutang lowered his wrist slightly, and the flames moved closer, while the movement under the heart became more obvious!
finally!
A slight explosion sounded!
Something suddenly jumped out from it!
Shen Yanchuan's eyebrows sank, and he turned his wrist: "Be careful!"
Tsk—tsk!
An extremely thin dagger appeared in Ye Chutang's other hand at some point. No one could see clearly how she moved, but they saw a silver-white flash, and the dagger flew out quickly, nailing the thing that jumped out to the ground in the blink of an eye!
Chen Yanchuan's eyes moved slightly and he retracted his action.
Ye Chutang walked over and pulled out the dagger.
Only then could everyone see clearly that it was actually a blood-red poisonous insect!
It's only the size of a soybean, and it's hard to miss unless you look carefully.
Ye Chutang looked at the tiny poisonous insect.
"This is the Seven Corpse Gu. It is extracted from seven kinds of poisonous insects, mixed with corpse fluid and then planted into the human body. Once it attacks, it will eat the internal organs and cause bleeding from all seven orifices, resulting in death."
She turned around and looked at those people.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the others died in the same way."
Dead silence.
Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, but when you listened carefully, it made your back go cold and you felt terrified!
At this point, they finally understood what Ye Chutang had done before - if it weren't for the use of fire, it would have been extremely difficult to find the poisonous insect!
"Fortunately, we arrived quickly. This Seven Corpse Gu can only survive in a corpse for one day. If we wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be no trace left."
Ye Chutang curled the corners of his lips and looked at Fan Chengzhuo.
"It's a blessing. Master Fan, what do you think?"
