The corpse was placed in the dungeon. Strangely enough, the corpse was in a very peaceful state, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Madam, he is here. I am guilty of not keeping a close eye on him."
The guard in charge of the dungeon was very remorseful and asked for forgiveness.
"You can leave now."
She took a look at the condition of the corpse.
There were no obvious wounds on the body, and there were no signs of poisoning.
How did he die?
She had no choice but to remove the clothes on the corpse.
After a detailed scan, which was more detailed than a magnifying glass, she found a hole the size of a pinhole right above the heart.
She looked at it. The hole had not healed, but there were not many bloodstains.
"Where did this wound come from?"
The guard in charge of catching the spies said, "I don't know. I didn't use any hidden weapons when I caught these people. "
Indeed, from the size and position of the wound, it was most likely a hidden weapon like a needle.
But ordinary hidden weapon needles were basically much bigger than this.
She took out a scalpel and gently cut along the hole.
She found that the hole extended all the way down the muscle.
Until she completely broke open the man's chest, revealing the heart that had already stopped beating.
She carefully observed the dead man's heart and finally discovered that it was filled with tiny holes!
Now, she believed that the cause of death was definitely not a hidden weapon.
Because even if an ordinary hidden weapon could penetrate the chest, it would not pierce the heart like this.
But if this was the cause of death, he would not have died so peacefully.
Instead, he should have been screaming in pain.
But that night, the guards in the dungeon did not hear any movement at all.
"This is really strange."
She muttered to herself and looked into the depths of the dungeon.
The results of the examination did not bring her any useful clues, but instead left her with many doubts.
Ever since these people were caught, the spies at the foot of the Holy Mountain began to act cautiously.
These days, they had almost disappeared. No matter how hard the guards in the Holy Temple tried, they could not find any trace of them.
This made Lin Mengya even more suspicious.
Based on the current situation, they clearly had the ability to avoid the Temple's pursuit, so why were so many of them captured previously?
Two days later, Qinghu frowned and told her, "I found another person knocking on the railing."
Lin Mengya had no choice but to increase the security. She even arranged for many people to stand guard outside all the cells.
But after midnight, the man never woke up again.
He passed away peacefully in his sleep without attracting anyone's attention.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to dissect the corpse herself. Sure enough, she found the same trace on the man's heart.
In other words, the cause of their deaths was the same.
She looked at the heart that was riddled with holes, especially the hair-sized wounds on it. She couldn't help but feel a little angry.
These people had died right under her nose. She felt that it wasn't just someone trying to silence them, it was more like someone was provoking her.
A few days later, the same strange scene played out.
Lin Mengya could not stand it any longer and brought them up for interrogation.
She knows that.
People were not afraid of death, and he knew that they were not afraid of his methods.
So she did not choose to use force to extort a confession.
Instead, she chose to look them in the eyes and use silence to test them, trying to find out the weak link.
The dungeon was terrifyingly quiet.
Lin Mengya sat in front of these people. She was high above them, as if she had the power to decide their life and death.
But the eyes of these people were equally calm, which made her feel a little defeated.
At the same time, it strengthened her desire to make these people confess.
"I know that you are not afraid of death, so I won't use those ordinary methods on you."
She looked around. These people's reactions were within her expectations.
"However, people can only have everything if they are alive. One of you will live, and I guarantee that he will live a very comfortable life. How about it? Do any of you want this opportunity? "
She knew that these words were like nonsense to them.
But she needed a breakthrough.
Sometimes, no amount of pain could be more useful than a desire. Some people were not afraid of death, but they might not give up the great wealth that was at their fingertips.
"Very good, it seems that you are all good loyal servants. However, your master might not be able to appreciate your loyalty. "
She curled her lips and said in a sarcastic tone.
"It seems that until now, not only has your master not appeared, but he has also not sent anyone to negotiate with me to let you go.
You know very well that you have not committed any serious crimes. You are just gathering some information about me at the foot of my mountain.
If your master negotiates with me, you may be released. "
Freedom was the biggest temptation.
On the surface, those people did not seem to be swayed by her proposal, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking.
"How about this, as long as you write down all the information you have about me, I will let you go immediately."
She let them go and opened the cell door.
Her meaning was very obvious. As long as they were obedient, she could let them walk out of here safe and sound.
Freedom was right in front of him.
But these people did not react at all. They did not even look at the pen and ink in front of them.
Lin Mengya frowned tightly.
This did not make sense at all.
Until she heard the rather rhythmic knocking sound.
This time, those people were not knocking on the bars, but their own hands.
A sense of danger arose spontaneously.
The rhythm of those people was getting faster and faster. All of a sudden, a creepy smile appeared on their faces.
"Protect Madam!"
In an instant, the guards rushed up and surrounded her.
At this moment, the knocking sound seemed to have reached its peak.
Their eyes flashed with madness, as if they would achieve their goal in the next moment.
The sound of the slapping stopped abruptly. Those people stared at her closely in unison.
But one minute passed, two minutes passed …
It was not until a long time later that they looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment.
They saw that she, who had looked frightened and helpless a moment ago, suddenly had a cold smile on her face.
。
"Do you think that this method is very covert and can kill me without anyone knowing?"
Lin Mengya asked the crowd to disperse.
Unknowingly, there was a little black cat lying by her feet.
"Your methods are really covert. Let me guess, actually that Tang poem is not a hobby, nor is it a hobby of some of you. It is a musical score, right?"
The moment she finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.
"This poem is really covert, using the rhythm to control the Gu.
At the start, you purposely let your companions die tragically to lure me here.
Then you know that I will definitely want to know your secret, so I will personally come to interrogate you.
Maybe it is not me or any other important person from the Holy Temple, but as long as they enter this cell and see any of you, you will use this method to transfer the Gu to that person.
My Temple Master is out fighting a war, but an important person from the Holy Temple has died. This way, the morale of our soldiers will be in chaos, and you will be able to win without fighting.
This method was good, and anyone else in this world would have been able to do it.
Unfortunately, I am the exception. "
She reached out and hugged the little black cat that had eaten its fill.
In fact, on the night of the first autopsy, she had already realized something, but she had not confirmed it, so she did not dare to jump to conclusions.
After dying one after another, her conjecture was confirmed once again.
So she used a secret method to summon Little Black back.
Fortunately, Little Black was used to wandering around near her, and this time, it did not take long before it found its way back.
Almost at the same time when Little Black returned, she had already confirmed her guess.
Compared to playing with Gu, her Little Black was the ancestor of all ancestors.
And she had also guessed what the other party's motive was.
"Your master really values me, to actually use such a method to deal with me, should I feel honored, or should I laugh at his stupidity?"
Little Black lay in her arms, and squinted his eyes.
Almost instantly, those people twitched and fell in front of her.
Lin Mengya squatted down and lifted the hair on the right side of their heads.
Sure enough, below their right ears, there was a blue and purple lotus mark.
"I had my suspicions before, although cutting off tongues is a method to nurture spies. But other than spies in Wei Country, there is another type of people who use this method. "
Those people looked at her in fear, they could not believe that their meticulous disguise was exposed just like that.
"This is an extremely mysterious clan of Gu Masters, their clan does not use words to transmit information, but uses a rhythm to communicate with each other.
The Gu they tame, also use this method to control them. But I'm very curious, wasn't your clan exterminated decades ago? Why are you here?
Am I right? Music Gu clan! "
Never in their dreams did they expect that they had already disappeared from Wei Country, and no one even remembered their names.
But this person in front of her not only knew them like the back of her hand, she even knew their inside information.
She stared with her eyes wide open, those people seemed to be questioning her with their eyes, who was she? Why did she know the secrets of their clan so clearly?
