Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 830 - The Weird Change of the Corpses

Chapter 830 The Weird Change of the Corpses

There was something wrong with Baisu. Apart from the panic-stricken look in her eyes, her expression indicated that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Lin Mengya grabbed Baisu’s wrist with her hand, thinking how that happened.

She said, “Stop thinking about it, Baisu. Do as I say! Stop thinking about it. Trust me.”

Lin Mengya regretted insisting on bringing up this topic. Baisu was in an abnormal condition.

She had not found anything abnormal about Baisu’s health condition before. Unexpectedly, when Baisu was overcome with emotion, apart from her disordered pulse, there seemed to be something moving wildly in her body.

“Miss... there... there is something wrong with me, isn’t there?” Baisu asked.

Lin Mengya gently patted Baisu’s back to calm her down gradually and said, “It’s alright. Maybe you’ve just forgotten part of your memories. Sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up.”

In fact, Lin Mengya had always followed the rule of not insisting on getting to the bottom of everything.

Since someone managed to erase part of Baisu’s memories, he must have done that for a reason.

Now she was unaware of the person’s intention, which made it hard for her to judge whether the person meant well.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo was what she should do.

“No, I didn’t realize this problem until now. But my master can’t lie to me. Miss, I want to find out the truth. Can you help me?” Baisu said.

At the sight of Baisu’s puzzled look, Lin Mengya had no way to turn her down.

After thinking for a while, she said seriously, “If you want to know the truth, of course, I will help you. But before that, I think we should find out why you became like this. I promise you I will solve all your problems. So promise me to calm down before that, okay?”

Lin Mengya felt very sorry for Baisu.

Baisu was very loyal to her and was the only person who had accompanied her and taken the utmost care of her since she entered the imperial palace of the Lieyun Empire.

Nevertheless, she thought that if it was really a good thing for Baisu to lose the part of her memories, she certainly had a way to persuade Baisu to forget it again.

After all, these were Baisu’s memories, no matter they were painful or delightful.

Anyone who intended to disturb the status quo should ask for Baisu’s opinion before doing that.

“Okay, I see. I’ll do as you say, Miss,” Baisu said.

Lin Mengya nodded and looked at Baisu, as confused as Baisu.

Why was Baisu the only one among a large number of people in the imperial palace who knew the secrets of the royal family?

Moreover, although she forgot where she learned the secrets, she told Lin Mengya about them in detail.

Come to think of it, the person behind this seemed to be intentional to leave the secrets in Baisu’s mind.

It seemed that there were quite a few doubts about Baisu’s ident.i.ty.

Lin Mengya supposed Baisu’s background became another puzzle she was going to solve.

After working overnight and sleeping for only a few hours, Lin Mengya was pulled out of her bed by Baisu.

She asked Baisu to do so before falling asleep. After all, the Emperor was still waiting for her report on the case.

“I’ll handle this myself. You had a hard time. Stay here and have a good rest,” Lin Mengya said.

Baisu had stayed up all night. Lin Mengya knew that it would obviously take some time to accept what she had believed to be the fact since her childhood turned out to be a lie.

Therefore, she looked dejected and even smiled with deep distress.

She said, “I’d better follow you, Miss. Although my ident.i.ty is fake and my memories are incomplete, at least the memories I have had since I met you are complete and true, aren’t they?”

Seeing the pleading look in Baisu’s eyes, Lin Mengya could only sigh in her heart and nod helplessly.

She could never bear to say no to her companions.

They hurried to a small yard usually used to store sundries not far from the Linqiu Pavilion.

Now all the sundries had been cleaned up, and the four corpses discovered last night were placed here.

At the sight of Lin Mengya, the female guards patrolling the yard immediately came up to greet her.

Seeing their respectful att.i.tude towards her, Lin Mengya thought they presumably acted like this under Zhou Ling’s order.

“Miss, you’re here. This way, please,” a female guard said.

Lin Mengya followed her into the small yard.

As soon as Lin Mengya got in, a foul smell came into her nose.

“What’s going on? It smells like rotting corpses!

“That’s absolutely impossible for corpses to rot in just a day.

“Unless...”

Taking a few quick steps, Lin Mengya got in the room ahead of the others.

But at the sight of the scene in front of her, she frowned.

The four corpses in good condition last night had almost turned into skeletons overnight.

Their bones were still wrapped with their pale skin, but their muscle tissue had turned into blood.

The strong rotten smell made those who followed Lin Mengya in retch.

But Lin Mengya clenched her fists, thinking the wire puller was definitely trying to provoke her!

“Miss, let’s go out first,” Baisu said.

She was not timid and had been through a mult.i.tude of sanguinary killings.

However, such a scene disgusted her.

The female guards tried hard to endure the disgust and stand behind her. Lin Mengya waved her hand as a hint for them to leave.

She said to Baisu, “If you can’t stand it, you can go out with them. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Great, she was p.i.s.sed off now.

The wire puller not only killed the four people, but also destroyed the only clue.

If she had insisted on examining the corpses last night, the wire puller might have gotten no opportunity to take advantage of.

But there was no use crying over spilt milk.

The blood almost spread all over the entire room, but Lin Mengya turned a blind eye to it.

In fact, the foul smell had caused the temporary failure of her sense of smell that was keener than that of ordinary people.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya still walked up to the corpses decisively. Did the wire puller think that she would be at her wit’s end after he turned the corpses into this state?

Humph, he was naive!

Lin Mengya secretly requisitioned the small courtyard where the corpses were placed. No one other than the female guards knew that she was busy preparing all kinds of equipment.

After working all day, Lin Mengya finished all her work at hand.

Baisu, who came to deliver food, saw four complete white skeletons placed on temporary stands in the shade outside the small courtyard to dry.

Meanwhile, Lin Mengya was holding something as thin as a cicada’s wings. If she guessed correctly, it should be the skin of one of the four corpses.

Baisu shivered all over with fear. She had seen more brutal scenes than this.

However, seeing Lin Mengya surrounded by a bunch of big wooden barrels and all kinds of potions with a serious look, she found it a little weird.

After all, other Misses and Mesdames were fond of makeups, while her master obviously had a different hobby!

“You come at the right time. Can you take a look at the various traces on their bones and see what possibly caused them?” Lin Mengya said.

After cleaning up the skins of the corpses and placing them to dry, she couldn’t help thinking with a sigh that human lives were worthless here.

Back when she was in medical college, she and her cla.s.smates had fought fiercely for a fresh corpse and desperately wanted the opportunity to have a look at it.

Unexpectedly, she made a considerable improvement in autopsy here.

“Okay,” Baisu said, putting down the hamper in her hand.

She brought the dishes she specially chose for Lin Mengya.

Most of them were vegetable dishes. After all, the dining environment was a little poor.

The skeletons were pieced together perfectly. After observing them for a long while, Baisu finally discovered some thin but deep traces on the arm and leg bones.

She wondered what potion Lin Mengya used to get rid of the rotting smell without destroying the thin traces.

However, the traces were even thinner than hair. At that moment, even Baisu could not figure out any weapon that could possibly cause them.

“The traces are thin and deep. A common knife or sword, which can cause such traces, will be abnormally soft so that it will take a lot of strength to leave traces on the bones. Apart from this, I don’t think they are caused by a steel wire or an ice silk thread. Although these things can be used to cut off a person’s head when tightened, it’s hard to control the strength. Miss, I have no idea what kind of weapon left the traces on them,” Baisu stepped back to Lin Mengya’s side and said, suggesting that she got no clue.

Lin Mengya was racking her brains as she ate.

She had expected Baisu’s a.n.a.lysis.

In modern times, the most advanced medical technology could certainly make it happen. However, she was in a backward society in ancient times where weapons that could cause those traces were very limited.

Generally speaking, ice silk treads and steel wires were flexible, but they must be appropriately thin.

After all, the thinner they were, the smaller pulling force they could bear.

She had made a calculation with the Shen Nung system and found out that in order to control the corpses without being noticed, the wire puller needed to exert his strength on those points of the corpses.

Of course, the deeper traces on the skins and skeletons proved this.

However, she had to say that given the current techniques, it was impossible to make this sort of material that was extremely thin and could bear a large pulling force.

Since the weapon wasn’t made of an artificial material, it must be made of a natural material.

She had searched through all the related information in the music score for the green stringed instrument, but she had not found any suitable clues.

However, the music score for the green stringed instrument had not been updated since her mother pa.s.sed away.

There could be plenty of new materials within the more than ten years after her mother’s death. Maybe she could try to find some clues from these new materials.

She wished the members of the Sanjue Hall were here. After all, it was better to entrust the task of gathering information to professionals.

“Is there any information gathering organization here? I need some information that will probably offer me some clues,” Lin Mengya asked.

In fact, she had figured out the cause of their death.

Almost all four of them died from excessive blood loss, and the wounds were on their left wrists.

According to Lin Mengya’s examination, the strongest poison discovered in their corpses was the anesthetic agent carried by the pollen.

She also discovered a blood-activating agent, which meant that as long as they had the wounds, they would keep bleeding.

It was hard to imagine the pain and despair the four people had endured before they died.
