Chapter 44: A Bizarre Truth
Everyone pricked up their ears and speculated about what kind of means Yang Su used to kill Huangfu Wei.
Li Canghai suddenly felt a little tightness in his chest, and coughed a little more, Liang Xiu was a little worried, so he asked, "Canghai, why is your face so ugly?" Do you want to take a break before you continue? ”
With a wave of his hand, Li Canghai picked up the teacup from the master's table, drank the remaining half of the tea inside, and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”
Yang Su sneered indifferently: "I want to see what story you can make up." ”
"The deceased was killed by a strange insect called the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', which can induce cold qi and freeze bones and blood. This insect can lie dormant in the human body, but usually falls into a deep sleep, and only wakes up when it encounters special conditions. Li Canghai said solemnly.
"Is there such a bug in this world?" Huang Fukun didn't know about the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', and asked in surprise.
Li Canghai did not speak, but took the autopsy knife from Xiao Wu's hand, and in front of everyone, took out a piece of viscera from the chest cavity of the corpse.
Everyone's faces suddenly became a little ugly, and a few people vomited on the spot.
"Boy, do you dare to touch my body?" Huangfu Kun roared angrily, his eyes red.
Li Canghai didn't look at him, put the broken organs on a plate, and took the opportunity to take a stool to the front of the hall, took the plate and put it on the stool.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Canghai with a puzzled expression, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Boy, you said that Wu'er was infested by Gu worms, let me ask you, where are the Gu worms?" Huang Fukun's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"This is the Gu worm." Li Canghai said lightly.
Huang Fukun's face suddenly fell, he slapped the chair, and said angrily: "You dare to play this general? ”
At this moment, the viscera suddenly cracked, and a snow-white strange insect came out of it.
Everyone gasped and were stunned.
Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and the sharp blade in his hand picked up the insects as fast as lightning.
Huang Fukun's face was extremely ugly, he walked quickly to the corpse, looked at the insect, and said, "Is this thing killing Wu'er?" ”
Li Canghai nodded, "Yes, this insect hibernated in Huangfu Wei's body, and for some reason it woke up and gnawed at his heart. I guess that's why he's in so much pain. ”
A trace of horror appeared on Yang Su's face, and he shouted in a panic: "I don't know what this thing is, not to mention that you also said that he was killed by a strange insect, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Li Canghai frowned, he stared at Yang Su, and said seriously: "I said before that this insect will only hurt people when it wakes up. ”
"What is the reason?" Huang Fukun's voice was low, exuding a panicked killing intent all over his body.
"This kind of alien worm can only wake up under one circumstance, and that is when it encounters its nemesis, the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm'." Li Canghai said lightly in a firm tone.
"I don't know what Gu worms are, these have nothing to do with me!" Yang Su bit his lip and shouted.
Li Canghai smiled coldly, he walked to Yang Su's side, reached out and grabbed the sachet hanging from his waist, and poured out the contents inside.
A small pile of herb fragments was poured out, Li Canghai brushed aside the fragments, and picked out a red insect the size of a fingernail from it, this worm was very similar to the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', the difference was that the whole body of this insect was red, as if it had swallowed charcoal.
"This is the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm', this worm and the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm' are called the 'Yin and Yang Double Gu'. These two kinds of insects, as long as they are within a certain range, will sense each other and wake up. ”
Li Canghai put the two insects together, and the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm' really crawled towards the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm'.
Everyone was amazed, not wanting to have such a strange insect in this world.
Yang Su shook his head desperately, he shouted: "When Huangfu Wei died, I was not in Jixianglou, even if this insect is related to me, how can I kill him?" ”
"As long as one of these two Gu worms awakens, its sensing range will expand to a distance of tens of zhang. I have investigated, when Huangfu Wei died, you left Jixianglou not long ago, but did not leave, but found a restaurant nearby. ”
Yang Su's face instantly turned pale as paper, at that time, because he was depressed in his chest, he really didn't leave Jixianglou too far, but he didn't want to become evidence against him now.
"What else do you have to say now?" Li Canghai glanced at him and let out a sigh.
Yang Su laughed miserably, and after a while, he said with a depressed expression: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." I dream every day that I want to kill Huangfu Wei to avenge Tanchun, and now someone has done it for me, which can be regarded as a big revenge. I'm dead, and believe it or not, I'm not killing. ”
"Young Master Yang, can you tell me, please tell me, where did you get these two insects?" Li Canghai asked with a solemn expression.
The 'Xuanbing Gu Worm' was related to several murders, and he was bound to ask clearly.
"I don't know why there is this worm in the sachet, and as for the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', I have never heard of it." Yang Su smiled miserably, but there was a calm look in his eyes.
Li Canghai stared at him, and he could see that Yang Su was not lying.
"Elder Yang, do you think ...... this?" Liang Xiu also felt quite helpless, and asked with a salute to Yang Lao.
Yang Lao coughed, he glanced at Yang Su, and sighed in disappointment: "Yang family, there are no such unscrupulous descendants, Lord Liang is judged according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he is old and decrepit, and he has nothing to say." ”
Liang Xiu was shocked and said: "Yang Su, the only case in which you killed Huangfu, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" ”
Yang Su looked up at the roof beams and did not speak.
"Come, draw a charge for him. Take him to prison, and when the prince returns, ask the prince to decide. ”
Liang Xiu asked Yang Su to draw a charge, and then took him down.
A murder case was over, and after Liang Xiu sent Yang Lao away, he patted Li Canghai on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.
Such a complicated and treacherous case, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid no one would really be able to crack it.
"Boy, you're doing a good job. You have found the murderer of Wu'er for General Ben, and General Ben owes you a personal favor. Huang Fukun walked up to him, said a polite word to him, and then led people out of the palace.
After everyone left, Li Canghai's eyes were dark, and he suddenly fainted.
Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and pinched his pulse, and Xiao Wu's brows suddenly wrinkled.
In the west meditation room of the White Horse Temple, Liang Xiu stood outside the door pacing back and forth, his expression was anxious, and he sighed from time to time.
"How is he in the sea? Are you awake? I'm here with 100-year-old ginseng, let me in." Di Qing rushed from a distance, her delicate face was full of worry, and she shouted before she could reach the meditation room.
Liang Xiu hurriedly stopped Di Qing and said, "Miss Di, the master is treating Canghai, it is not appropriate to disturb, you should be relieved."
Di Qing didn't care about him, his body shook slightly, broke through his barrier, and went straight to the meditation room.
Just as she was about to hit the Zen door, there was a creak, and the Zen door was opened from the inside, and Huiguang stood at the door with his hands folded and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
