The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Ye Ziheng deliberately changed the topic and looked at the unrecognizable female ghost opposite: "What happened to her?"

Wen Jiu followed Ye Heng's line of sight and glanced at that place: "You were not here yesterday, so when Xiao Shi came back, he brought her back. She doesn't seem to be able to speak."

Ye Zi Heng frowned thoughtfully: "The death was miserable, is it the Southern Xinjiang Gu insect?"

Wen Jiu nodded: "I didn't dare to look carefully, but her body was almost covered with wounds from bugs. When I saw it yesterday, there were still bugs crawling around on her body, but today there are fewer of them. It’s probably looking for the next host.”

She seemed to remember something: "There is a very special jade pendant around her waist, maybe it is a clue."

Even in southern Xinjiang, no one would dare to wear a jade pendant that is so close to the dragon pattern.

Probably knowing that they were looking at her, the female ghost floated over from the opposite side and landed in front of the two of them. Wen Jiu silently took a step back. The jade pendant was missing?

She opened her mouth slightly: "Brother, I just saw that one hanging on her waist. Someone was touching the body?"

Ye Ziheng tilted his head to look at her: "Is there anything else missing?"

Wen Jiuzai took a careful look, even the hairpin on her head, and finally shook her head: "All the valuable things on her body are still there. Look at her earrings, but the rare Dongzhu is still there. It was to be transported to southern Xinjiang, but it was not taken away."

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Maybe that person just wants to take away this jade pendant?"

Then why not take it when you kill her?

Ye Ziheng did not see the jade pendant, so he naturally had no other judgment, but the death of this woman did not seem simple.

If it was just killing someone, killing him with a knife or poisoning would be easier than poisoning, and it would be easier to deceive others.

Doesn't this method of death clearly tell others that the murderer must be a person who knows magic?

Unless she had to die in this way, she would not die.

The past few days have been peaceful. Wen Jiu sometimes goes to the streets with Lu Xu, and occasionally hears some interesting news.

Not everyone in Southern Xinjiang can master Gu. Only those who are extremely good at raising Gu can have the ability to control Gu. Ordinary Southern Xinjiang people like them are no different from ordinary people. They don’t know anything. Poison.

Wen Jiu pretended to be curious: "Are there people who breed Gu in Manling, who are as powerful as you said, little boss?"

The man handed the wrapped pastries to Lu Xu: "Of course there are. If there are no people raising Gu insects in the Barbarian Mountains, then there will be no one in Southern Xinjiang."

"In that case, we are really in the right place. This trip is just to gain some experience. The little boss can recommend a few people."

The owner of the pastry stall started talking and gave out the names of dozens of people at once.

Wen Jiu was stunned. He knew a lot, but he didn't know this much.

Lu Xu looked at Wen Jiu's stunned expression and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he didn't interrupt her.

"Little boss, you must have too many. There are so many talents, so many talents."

It is impossible to write down such names with paper and pen.

If we check them one by one, how long will it take to check them?

"Actually, he reported so many people, but only three major surnames."

Lu Xu walked beside Wen Jiu and carefully helped her stop passers-by who almost bumped into her.

Wen Jiu raised her head and met Lu Xu's gaze. A pair of black eyes looked straight into her heart. She coughed in embarrassment and moved her eyes away.

"What are the top three surnames?"

Lu Xu's eyebrows were sparse and his tone was patient: "He has reported many people, but none of them have the three major surnames of Manling, so the people who raise Gu are just some of the famous families of these three families, but it does not rule out that other people can also use Gu to kill people. ." Wen Jiu couldn't help but nodded: "As expected of Jin Yiwei. When I heard his series of names, my mind went crazy. But Lu Xu, whether he is a member of the three major families or not, people who raise Gu insects are indeed like this. If there are too many, there is a possibility of killing someone.”

The sound of a carriage came from behind, and Lu Xu subconsciously pulled Wen Jiu to the side of the road. He didn't even need to turn his head to know that the carriage was driving further over.

Wen Jiu stood behind him in shock. Lu Xu was much taller than her. Her heart was beating fast. She didn't know whether she was frightened by the carriage or something.

After the carriage passed by, Lu Xu pulled Wen Jiu and continued walking on the road: "However, each family is good at different Gu insects. They have their own Gu insects that they are proud of. If they stand on three pillars, they all want to raise the most powerful ones. Gu worms don’t bother to be like others, then there will be obvious differences.”

Wen Jiu suddenly realized that if he could know what kind of poisonous insect the woman had, the scope of the murderer would seem to be narrower.

She raised a smile and said, "Lu Xu, why didn't I realize you were so smart before?"

Lu Xu's low-spirited laughter rang in Wen Jiu's ears: "This is just the most basic idea for solving the case."

The most basic?

Wen Jiu thought to himself, isn't he saying that he has no line of reasoning?

She raised her hand to deliberately pat Lu Xu, but found that her wrist was held tightly by him.

what?

It seems that he didn't let go of the carriage just now.

Wen Jiu struggled slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Lu Xu, there is no carriage anymore."

Lu Xu looked down at his hand and let go suddenly, with some suspicious traces on his face.

Wen Jiu didn't say anything, he just followed silently, looking around pretending to be fine.

How could Lu Xu hold her hand on purpose? You must have forgotten. It seems to be the same for you. You were dragged away for so long and didn’t react.

Must have forgotten.

The two of them completely lost the familiarity they had when they just went out, and there was a trace of embarrassment in the air.

When he returned to the inn, Wen Jiu found an excuse to take a look at the female ghost. Because her death was too horrific, Wen Jiu asked her to stay only in Zhou Lingran's room during the day.

"Even the Gu insects are gone."

All the poison insects have gone to find the next host, or they have been taken back by the person who planted the poison.

If so, wouldn't there be no clues again?

Wen Jiu was a little anxious: "Do you know what kind of poison you have?"

The female ghost shook her head without any hesitation.

Wen Jiu was stunned. Could this person not even know that he was poisoned and died?

If she was so innocent and didn't know how she died, would anyone really put so much thought into killing someone?

Zhou Lingran opened the door and walked in, watching Wen Jiu shake his head at the corpse of the female ghost.

"Did you find anything?"

Wen Jiu sighed: "It's getting harder and harder. First, the jade pendant around my waist disappeared, and now even the poisonous insects on my body are gone. There are no clues. I can't find the murderer or the body."

Zhou Lingran stared at the corpse for a while: "There shouldn't be many worms that can damage the human heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, or even break out of the skin." (End of Chapter)
