Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 718

"How do you say that?" Li Canghai asked while rubbing his chin.

"When I was in Huashan, I saw beasts fighting each other. No matter what kind of beasts, they would bite off their throats when they threw down their opponents, because this is the most direct and effective way to lose motivation. And what you said The old white man seems to have lost his humanity and made his animal nature become violent, so he lost his reason and did such cruel things." Di Qing said.

Li Canghai folded his hands on his chest and fell into deep thought.

What Di Qing said can be explained, why the old man Bai suddenly killed his family members, maybe it is just like what Di Qing said, the old man Bai lost his nature and became like a wild beast.

But how could the old man Bai, who is a decent person, suddenly go crazy?

"Qing'er, you have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, have you ever heard of any method that can make people lose their nature?" Li Canghai asked.

Di Qing tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "Well, as far as I know, poison is mostly used to make people lose their nature. But this kind of poison often only loses their nature. And this white old man, it seems It's not just as simple as losing one's nature, it can make people lose one's nature, but can also turn people into beasts, all I can think of is Miao Jiang's Gu poison."

"But, I didn't detect any toxicity?" Li Canghai frowned.

"Gu poison is different from ordinary poison. It is difficult to detect it with ordinary methods. Do you still remember 'Xuanice Poison Gu'?" Di Qing asked seriously.

According to Di Qingyi, Li Canghai recalled what happened in Luoyang.

At the beginning, the 'Xuanbing Gu' worms endangered Luoyang, and they couldn't find any reason at first. It wasn't until Monk Huiguang found out the reason, that they forced the Gu worms out.

If what the old man Bai really caught was Gu worms, it would be really difficult to detect it with the method of poison testing with silver needles.

"It seems that we still need to seek Master Huiguang's help in this matter!" Li Canghai thought for a while, then stood up immediately, and said to Di Qing: "Qing'er, you should go to the palace immediately and try your best to persuade the noble concubine to go. Prince Su's Mansion, I'll go to Master Huiguang to examine the body."

"Why do you want the imperial concubine to go to Su Wang's mansion?" Di Qing asked suspiciously.

"You will know when the time comes, Qing'er, whether I can pass this test or not depends entirely on you." Li Canghai said deeply.

Seeing his serious face, Di Qing blinked her eyes a few times, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Cang Hai, stop teasing me, I think you've already made up your mind!"

Li Canghai was slightly taken aback, stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile, "The one who knows me, Di Qinger!"

"Hee hee, of course, if I don't even know this, how can I become the world-famous heroine?" Di Qing stuck out her tongue playfully.

Li Canghai smiled and said: "You are the most powerful in this world, that's enough, it's getting late, you should hurry up and enter the palace."

Di Qing nodded, and left Dali Temple with a smile.

After Di Qing left, Li Canghai also went straight to the Da Ci'en Temple.

When they went to Da Ci'en Temple, Li Canghai briefly explained the situation, and Huiguang agreed without any hesitation.

Chang'an Mansion Mortuary.

Li Canghai and Huiguang carefully inspected each corpse.

"Master, did you find anything?" Li Canghai asked.

"These four corpses are normal, but this old man is a little strange. The poor monk needs some time to examine carefully." Huiguang examined the corpses carefully without raising his head.

Li Canghai nodded, and then stopped talking.

After half an hour, Hui Guang straightened up suddenly, exhaled and said: "This person is indeed poisoned by Gu poison."

Li Canghai frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Maybe Master can see what kind of Gu poison is in his body?"

Huiguang shook his head: "The poor monk hasn't done much research on Gu insects, if my master comes here, maybe he can find out what kind of Gu poison it is."

Li Canghai rubbed the center of his brows, and after contemplating, he said, "Master, thank you. Being able to find out these things is already of great help to this case."

"Benefactor, I don't know how this family died?" Hui Guang asked looking at the corpse.

Li Canghai told Huiguang about the case, and Huiguang fell silent after listening.

"Now that it is known that the old man Bai went mad to kill because of the poison in his body, it means that someone did it on purpose. Now there is still a question, why did no one call for help when the old man killed the man?" Li Canghai frowned.

"Could it be that their family has eaten something that can make people dumb? Otherwise, it is impossible for the whole family to have no one to call for help." Hui Guang pondered.

Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called for Wu Zuo to dissect the corpse.

Half an hour later, five pieces of minced meat were placed on the tablecloth.

"My lord, there are only these things in the stomachs of the deceased, which seem to be some kind of meat." Wu Zuo said.

Li Canghai held his nose and leaned over to have a look, then ordered someone to catch a dog.

After a cup of tea, the guard came in with a dog.

"Can this dog bark?" Li Canghai asked.

Hearing this, the guard stretched out his hand to pinch the dog, and the dog immediately barked in pain.

Li Canghai ordered the guards to tie up the dog, and then stuffed the piece of meat found in the stomach of the deceased into the dog's mouth.

"Benefactor, why are you doing this?" Hui Guang asked suspiciously.

"Perhaps, as Master said, they ate something they shouldn't eat." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

After about a stick of incense, the dog suddenly became restless, struggling with its mouth open.

Seeing this, Li Canghai quickly asked the guards to step forward and pinched the dog vigorously.

But the strange thing is that the dog didn't make any sound this time!

"How could this be?" Hui Guang asked in surprise.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this is the reason why they didn't make a sound."

Huiguang walked over, inspected the minced meat carefully, and chanted the Buddha's mantra: "So, this meat has been drugged with dumb drugs! I don't know who is so cruel. It's a sin, a sin!"

"In order to kill an old man, Gu poison and dumb medicine were used. It seems that this is a deep hatred!" Li Canghai sneered slightly.

"Benefactor Li, can the poor monk recite sutras for them here?" Hui Guang asked impatiently.

"Master, please go ahead. I have something to leave first, so I'm taking my leave." After Li Canghai finished speaking, he left the morgue in a hurry.

An hour later, Li Canghai returned to the morgue with a man wrapped in a black robe.

The man was a little surprised when he saw Hui Guang sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras.

Huiguang sensed that someone was watching him, opened his eyes and glanced at that person, and was slightly taken aback.

"Master, don't come here without any harm." The man said, but it was a woman.

"Amitabha, I heard that the benefactor has changed her ways and returned to righteousness. As the saying goes, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. It's really gratifying for the benefactor to be enlightened for a second time." Huiguang got up and saluted.
