Chapter 831 Sort Out the Clues
They were killed in a way that could not be simply described as cruel.
“Alright, I’ll handle this in person. Rest a.s.sured, Miss. But before young master got out of the imperial palace, he said you had better not go out. Miss, if it’s possible, you can tell me what you want and let me help you with it,” Baisu said.
Lin Mengya nodded, also thinking it might be a little inappropriate for her to do this in person.
After all, Baisu had more contacts and was more familiar with local customs than her. It was better to keep a low profile when gathering information.
After Lin Mengya gave Baisu some detailed instructions and told her to hurry back, Baisu got out of the courtyard.
Staring at the skins and skeletons of the four corpses on the table, Lin Mengya blinked with a flicker of coldness in her eyes.
No matter if the four innocent people were killed by the Candle Dragon Cult or someone else, no matter what the culprit did this for, the culprit definitely could not be forgiven.
One and another murders made Lin Mengya realize that those people had never stopped their evil plan.
Her investigation had obviously attracted their attention.
If she could not take action ahead of them, there might be more victims.
She could put their evil plan aside, but she could not ignore the lives of those innocent victims.
For the first time, Lin Mengya realized that those people who went against her were cruel, cunning and more intelligent than she expected.
Therefore, she must take action faster!
Standing in the courtyard, Lin Mengya closed her eyes gently.
As she closed her eyes temporarily, her other senses became keener.
Apart from the fragrance of the medicinal herbs, she could detect every smell in the small courtyard.
As her hearing range was extended, she could hear the wind blowing and the female guards whispering outside.
She relaxed her body slowly, but the Shen Nung System in her brain was running at a rapid rate.
Everything that had happened since she entered the imperial palace flashed across her mind like meteors.
They were after the relics of the Guwei State.
Their means were always b.l.o.o.d.y.
In this case, what would be their next target?
Lin Mengya made a painstaking a.n.a.lysis to find a clue to the big mystery.
Her brain ran at a rapid rate when she was brainstorming.
Lin Mengya pondered for a long time until night fell again.
By the time she returned from her brainstorm, her eyes were filled with exhaustion.
She gently rubbed her sore temples with her fingers and quietly showed a knowing look in her eyes.
After she linked all these things together, they led to an obvious clue.
That was blood!
Blood, as the essential part of the human body, actually had lots of medical uses.
But in ancient times, blood was an important part of sacrificial ceremonies.
If she guessed correctly, it required a lot of blood to get the relics of the Guwei State.
But she had not figured out how to do that yet.
The blood pool she saw in her first confrontation with the Candle Dragon Cult might have other uses.
But now, it might be too late to go back to investigate it, and her time was limited.
Lin Mengya walked up to the four skeletons thoughtfully. If blood was the only thing in common, she could find some clues from the four skeletons more or less.
After observing the four skeletons carefully, Lin Mengya discovered that although they were different in shape and height, some parts of them were quite in line with the laws of genetics.
In other words, although the four people had different backgrounds and different parents, they might have the same ancestors.
This sounded a little incredible, but it was the best explanation.
The slaves buried with the deceased emperors had to cut off their left arms to open the door to the heaven built by the King of Various Venomous Insects.
Could it be that the so-called relics of the Guwei State was the heaven built by the King of Various Venomous Insects?
Lin Mengya believed that it was possible.
Plenty of legends were based on facts from the very start.
For example, wasn’t the lost continent of Atlantis a legend with a factual basis?
Although people hadn’t confirmed its existence yet, it didn’t mean it didn’t exist.
It was possible that the heaven was the relics of the Guwei State.
Nevertheless, the heaven did not have a specific location, and the souls of the citizens of the Lieyun Empire could only go to the heaven after they died.
She did not think that the members of the Candle Dragon Cult would be so fanatical about a place with no specific location.
Perhaps this place existed in a certainly known civilization just like Atlantis that had been flooded.
Thinking of the place where she saw the four people cut off their arms, she felt a little excited.
Could it be such a coincidence that the heaven was below the imperial palace?
After the initial excitement, Lin Mengya perceived the problem.
There were usually underground fortifications dug in the construction of the palaces.
If the relics of the Guwei State could be found so easily, it presumably would not be widely known.
But Lin Mengya finally found a clue. These people did all this deliberately.
If she was smart enough, she could deduce a starting point from these clues.
This starting point was the point of this series of conspiracies.
With her mind occupied with this thought, Lin Mengya unconsciously walked around the courtyard in circles.
After thinking for a long time, she could not draw a conclusion.
She rapped her head lightly, realizing it was about time for her to have another mood and change her train of thought so that she might be able to straighten out her thinking in a shorter time.
She got out of the courtyard that was guarded more strictly after what had happened last night.
Even masters in martial arts would find it difficult to get into the small courtyard in tight encirclement where the skeletons were placed.
What was more, Lin Mengya knew that those people considered the skeletons useless evidence and that she, unwilling to give up, tried hard to find some clues in the courtyard.
In order to convince them that they were right about this, Lin Mengya pretended to be a frustrated loser and looked everyone up and down from the corner of her eyes without attracting attention.
Night had just fallen, so there were quite a few people coming and going.
Some among them must be watching over her.
In order to relax their vigilance, Lin Mengya frowned all the way and pretended to b.u.mp into a few people inadvertently.
After returning to the Fengyu Court, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes she needed to do a good job in pretending.
Going back to her room, Lin Mengya took off her dirty clothes, got cleaned up, and then leaned on the bedside and took out the Numb Vine Lily she hid.
After a long day, the Numb Vine Lily was no longer as fresh and delicate as before.
Nevertheless, it was plucked by Lin Mengya before its pollen could float in the air, so its power could not be underestimated.
After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya still decided to carry it with her and hide it properly.
She had been puzzled by one thing.
In the case of the death of the four palace maids, the culprit was meticulous and almost left her no clue.
If it were not for the help of modern technology and ancient medical work, she would have been at her wits’ end at the moment.
However, the Numb Vine Lily was the only flaw.
It was supposed to wither completely in only three days.
The pollen would be less powerful due to the drop in its density in the air.
But why was this flower still in good condition?
Did the culprit neglect it or someone else do this on purpose?
Failing to figure it out, Lin Mengya could only keep thinking about it.
She, lost in thought, did not notice that a dark figure appeared in her room.
When she was held tightly in the person’s arms, she tried to exclaim, but was interrupted by his kiss.
“Ah... Why are you here?” It took Lin Mengya, who received a pa.s.sionate kiss, a long while to regain her voice and say breathlessly.
The person rubbed against the tip of her nose with his handsome face under the black cloak with deep affection and infatuation for her, reluctant to move his face away.
“I miss you,” he answered honestly.
In fact, it had been only a few days since they last met.
Looking at Long Tianyu who suddenly became frank and clingy, Lin Mengya felt extremely warm.
She buried her head in his arms and unconsciously placed her hands on his chest.
Her tender cheeks could vaguely feel the rough texture of his cloak.
Oh, yes, she seemed to have not asked him where he got this cloak.
Why did even her radar fail to detect it?
Lin Mengya lifted her chin and pulled the front of his cloak with her hands.
“Where did you get this cloak?” Lin Mengya asked softly, because she was aware that Long Tianyu would never hide it from her for no reason.
He must have hidden it for a reason.
There was a flash of appreciation in his long black eyes. Almost everyone just regarded it as an ordinary cloak.
Only Lin Mengya discovered something unusual about it.
He put his arm around her shoulder and laid down on her bed, and let her lie comfortably in his arms.
Then he said, “Speaking of this, this cloak is related to the relics of the Guwei State. It’s part of the relics of the Guwei State. I heard that many of the rare treasures in the world are part of the relics of the Guwei State, and each of them can be worshiped as a national treasure. Do you think the older generation, who has spent their lifetimes searching the relics of the Guwei State, only wasted time pursuing an illusory dream?”
Raising her eyebrows, Lin Mengya grabbed the front of his cloak for an examination.
The cloth felt a little thicker than ordinary coa.r.s.e cloth and very flexible.
Something must have been added in it so that it could block her radar.
Nevertheless, Lin Mengya was not surprised.
The so-called stealth fighters in modern times were also capable of blocking radar.
What was more, the cloak could hide his scent. If it was used for anti-tracking, even the military dogs could not trace his scent.
This was really amazing!
