Chapter 282 What a shameless method
Just now, she pressed the deceased's abdomen, and the reaction further deepened her speculation.
The reason she wanted to perform an autopsy was because when she pressed on the body just now, she felt a slight beating sensation under her hand.
How could a dead man's stomach move? It seemed as if there was something alive in his stomach.
When I cut it open, I saw that it was true.
She found the insect.
She stared at the black bug in the porcelain bottle. It was as small as sand and looked like obsidian fragments when it was quiet. Jiang Nansheng gently tapped the porcelain bottle fragments, and it revealed its serrated mouthparts.
She bit her finger and blood gushed out instantly.
Lin Zheng's expression tensed, and he hurriedly held her hand. Jiang Nansheng shook her head at him, "Nothing, I just want to do an experiment."
He bandaged her wound without question and then bit his own hand.
"I'll do it."
He has thick skin and flesh, so even if he bleeds a little, it's nothing.
He squeezed his fingers hard, causing blood to drip into the porcelain bottle.
The black bug smelled the blood and immediately sucked it up. Soon, its small body expanded several times, its belly became bigger, and the scaly patterns on it became clearly visible.
Jiang Nansheng's eyes darkened slightly.
He then looked at the secret guard who had just recognized the insect and asked, "Do you know what kind of insect this is?"
The secret guard stared at it for a long while and said uncertainly, "Judging from the symptoms of the poisoned person, it should be the Madman's Sand, also known as the Six Relatives Evil. The poisoned person is stimulated by a specific factor and will go crazy and mad, not even recognizing their own relatives."
Jiang Nansheng let out a light breath and nodded.
"Your judgment coincides with mine. I've had the good fortune to personally see this Gu. Its abdomen has scaly markings, and it can invade the human mind. Those infected initially develop spiderweb-like bloodshot eyes, and during the attack phase, violent tendencies emerge. Eighty percent of victims experience increased tool use, loss of pain perception, and memory fragmentation. These symptoms all match up."
Lu Zhiran was puzzled. "How do you cultivate this Gu? How did the person who cast the Gu have so many Gu worms to use?"
Could it be that Zhao Shuning has such omnipotent powers that he can conjure up poisonous insects out of thin air?
Jiang Nansheng shook her head. She didn't understand this either.
The secret guard spoke again, "This Gu has a strong reproductive capacity. A mother Gu can lay thousands or even hundreds of eggs at a time. Once the eggs enter the stomach and suck the human essence and blood, they can quickly survive. This Gu is considered a low-end entry-level Gu and is quite common in our area."
These words gave many people goosebumps.
Such evil things are surprisingly common in southern Yunnan. They are afraid that they will never dare to set foot in southern Yunnan again.
Lu Zhiran seemed to be thinking about something. Zhao Shuning knew that poisoning someone was like drinking poison to quench thirst, but he still did it. Why?
She has always been smart and would not do anything stupid that would ruin her reputation.
Unless, doing so would be in her best interest.
"You just said that being infected with this Gu can cause a person's martial power to increase dramatically?"
Jiang Nansheng nodded, "That's right, but it's all temporary. Gu is a very harmful substance. Whether it's a sudden increase in strength or a loss of pain, it's just a manifestation of the poison entering the body. In the end, the person who is poisoned will die. It's just a matter of time. The person who died just now was old and frail. He couldn't withstand the erosion and backlash of the poison and died quickly."
There was a cold look in Sun Muzhi's eyes. He thought of those soldiers who were suddenly possessed by evil spirits and died tragically at the hands of the Qiang flute people, and he already understood the key.
Lu Zhiran also understood it at once.
It turns out that this is how Zhao Shuning gained his previous achievements.
Relying on the poisonous insects, the soldiers' strength increased dramatically, becoming a powerful weapon to resist the Qiang flute.
They repelled Qiang Di and died on the battlefield.
They paid the price of their lives and achieved posthumous fame, while Zhao Shuning stepped on their corpses to take the credit.
But in reality the epidemic was not resolved and most people still suffered from it.
It was not until someone from the Jiang family came and the old doctor Jiang wrote a prescription that Xiao Yanci led his troops to collect the red shadow vine.
The people took the medicine and gradually got better. Zhao Shuning was making trouble behind the scenes again, blaming her own evil deeds on the Jiang family and taking all the credit for curing the epidemic on her.
What a shameless method.
Lu Zhiran clenched his fists, his face twisted with anger.
Sure enough, people without morals and shame can do anything without any bottom line.
Lu Zhiran looked at Sun Muzhi and asked, "Apart from the recent incidents of people being possessed by evil spirits, have you noticed anything unusual happening among the people in the city?"
Sun Muzhi shook his head. "I've been in the army the whole time and haven't paid attention to the movements of the people."
Jiang Nansheng continued, "I've noticed that the people had never shown any signs of being poisoned before. It only suddenly appeared in recent days, and the number of people was not large. It's just that this incident escalated quickly and became so loud that it caused panic."
Lu Zhiran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It seems that his guess was correct. Zhao Shuning only put the poison on the soldiers and did not attack ordinary people.
Soldiers are about to go into battle and kill the enemy, so putting a curse on them will be like adding wings to a tiger, and there is also a ready-made method to kill and silence them.
But if she were to use this kind of poison on ordinary people, it would only cause panic, and she would not be able to cover it up.
The only thing to be thankful for is that most people were not persecuted by her.
But when Lu Zhiran thought about how Zhao Shuning had taken away the credit for the Jiang family and put the blame on them, she felt aggrieved.
Jiang Nansheng looked at Lu Zhiran, who was filled with righteous indignation, and asked, "Do you know who did this?"
“Whoever benefits the most is naturally the one who did it.”
"Is it that Dr. Zhao?"
She no longer remembered Zhao Shuning, but Jiang Nansheng naturally knew him as a prominent figure in the city.
“That’s right!”
Lu Zhiran told Jiang Nansheng all his inferences. When Jiang Nansheng heard about the Jiang family and old doctor Jiang, he felt a strange touch in his heart again.
She could feel that this was someone with whom she had a deep bond.
"What is my relationship with the Jiang family?"
Just now, they said their name was Jiang Nansheng.
Her last name is also Jiang.
Lu Zhiran gave the answer, "You are a member of the Jiang family, and Dr. Jiang is your grandfather."
She didn't explain anything else.
Jiang Nansheng covered his chest, feeling a slight sourness there.
"I heard that the Jiang family is a criminal. What crime did they commit?"
Lu Zhiran paused slightly and explained the whole story in a concise and concise manner.
"For the sake of the future of the next generation, Dr. Jiang fought tooth and nail to secure this opportunity to redeem himself from his crimes. Now, all his efforts have been undone. If this matter continues unchecked, the Jiang family will never be able to recover."
Perhaps it was her body's instinct that caused a surge of anger to surge in her heart.
Even if it wasn't for the Jiang family, Zhao Shuning's behavior was still outrageous.
She came secretly to dig up graves and dissect corpses, wasn't it just to find out the truth and give justice to the deceased?
She said in a firm tone, "I will expose this matter."
