Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 802: Poisonous Beast
Fan Qinchang once again took out a special box wrapped in many layers of cloth from a bag, and carefully opened the special box with his fingers padding with cloth, and said, "This is it."

Tie Hongyan took a look and found that the box contained a dead little monster named "Snake Body Arch". The body of the Snake Body Arch was dark blue. Adults were generally about three inches long and as thick as a thumb. They looked like little snakes, but they had ten pairs of small feet, a small head, a protruding snout, and three green eyes. She had only seen this little monster in books before, except for Master Yu Moming. The book said that all its feet could be retracted. After retracting, it moved more like a snake. After those feet were extended, it could crawl in another way. She remembered that the Snake Body Arch was highly poisonous. If a person was bitten by it, they would die instantly. The book she had read said that this monster could act according to people's wishes after being trained and familiar with the commands issued by people. Unexpectedly, there was a small note attached to the Snake Body Arch in the box, which read "The consequences of not doing well what Jian Liang asked."

"Did you notice any bite wounds on Lan Haocheng's body?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"We found it. There are wounds." Quan Liu said, "What on earth is this thing?"

"It's called 'Snake Body Arch'." Tie Hongyan replied.

"Is the poison of the snake body arch very strong?" Fan Qinchang asked.

"Yes, snake bites are extremely poisonous and can kill people the moment they are bitten." Tie Hongyan said.

"If I get bitten by it, is there anything that can detoxify me?" Quan Liu asked.

"It's not that there is nothing that can antidote this poison. The book says that some animals will not die immediately after being poisoned by this poison. They can survive after taking the antidote. But it's not the same for humans. Once bitten, they will die immediately. There is no time to detoxify. So even if there is an antidote, it can't save people." Tie Hongyan said.

Quan Liu said: "There is a small note on it. It is obvious that someone is using this snake's body to harm others on purpose."

Tie Hongyan asked again: "Since you saw the snake's body arched, this little piece of paper has always been on it, right?"

"Yeah. It says something like that..." Quan Liu didn't finish his sentence.

Tie Hongyan thought: The snake's body arch can kill people in an instant, and the person bitten will die before he can even read the small note. I don't know what the person's intention was in leaving this small note. If the person who left this small note knew that the snake's body arch could kill people in an instant, would he have deliberately shown it to others?

Tie Hongyan didn't say what she was thinking right away, but said, "You just said that the man next to Lan Haocheng didn't seem to have died of poisoning. Have you checked whether he had any bite wounds?"

Quan Liu replied: "We looked and found no wounds. Of course, we didn't look very carefully. If we want to really find out, we need an autopsy."

Tie Hongyan asked some other questions, and Li Yu wrote down their words. After she talked to Tan Sizhi, she decided to go to the scene with Tan Sizhi, Li Yu, Quan Liu, Ji Dongzi and Fan Qinchang, and bring along the autopsy expert who performed the autopsy on Lan Haoxuan last time. Although Tie Hongyan was very busy, she saw the words "Jian Liang" on the small note, and she felt that this matter was serious, so she had to go there in person to find out the situation.
