"Who has a dagger or a smaller knife? Lend it to me."
Seeing that Lin Mengya seemed to have discovered something, Zhou Ling immediately took out her knife from her waist and handed it to Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya then found that this commander was actually wearing a knife and a sword on her slender waist.
It seemed that he was really a rare master.
After taking Zhou Ling's knife, Lin Mengya handed the torch in her hand to the female guard beside her.
He asked a few of them to light up the place for him. His sharp eyes carefully examined the forearms of the female corpses.
As expected, Lin Mengya found extremely small black spots starting from the wrist to the elbow of the arm.
If she didn't guess wrongly, these black spots should be small holes.
However, the holes were very small and it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.
Lin Mengya took out a short knife and skillfully dissected an arm.
As she had expected, the bones on the forearm were clean and smooth.
This meant that although there were still muscles on the outside, the flesh and bone had actually been separated.
And those small holes should be caused by the thing that controlled the four corpses.
What a vicious method. In their hands, people were simply tools.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Ling was also a person who had seen blood, but she had not seen many methods of the Candle Dragon Cult.
Now that Lin Mengya had figured out what was going on, these corpses had lost their meaning.
"Lord Lieutenant, please follow me to report this matter. As for the corpses, carry them outside first and find some trustworthy people to guard them. "
She did not know whether those people had other tricks up their sleeves. Until now, Lin Mengya was 100% sure that what happened here had something to do with the Candle Dragon Cult.
From the Immortal Powder that almost destroyed Long Tianhao, to the Copper Slave that she saw on the Seventh Peak.
The people in the Candle Dragon Cult were probably a group of crazy researchers.
Such a perverted thing could only be done by them.
Lin Mengya sighed, feeling pity for these innocent people who died in vain.
She stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something.
She turned around and carefully looked at the faces of the four people.
Even though his expression was stiff and sinister, one could still vaguely make out his once delicate facial features.
Although the Candle Dragon Cult did things in a strange way, there should be some clues to follow.
Were these four people chosen at random? Or do they have something in common?
Seeing Lin Mengya's puzzled look, Zhou Ling did not want to disturb her.
In the past, her attitude towards Lin Mengya was not very good. But later, Lin Mengya used reality to wake her up.
It was no wonder that the first person that came to Madam's mind after hearing about this matter was Miss Jialan.
Even though He Lan's martial arts skills were far inferior to hers, she still had her own specialties.
However, she was observant and had many unique skills.
It was obvious that Zhou Ling had lost this round.
"These palace maids don't have anything in common other than being the same batch of people guarding this place. Do you have any clues? "
That didn't make sense. The bloody and horrifying act on that day was still engraved in her mind.
Was it really just a random selection?
A deep frown appeared on Zhang Xuan's forehead.
Nevertheless, she would get to the bottom of it one day.
Along the way, Lin Mengya's mind was preoccupied. She kept recalling what she knew about the hanging rope.
Although Zhou Ling was following behind her, she suppressed her thoughts and did not disturb her.
When they were almost at the king's bedchamber, Lin Mengya stopped and looked at Zhou Ling apologetically.
"I'm sorry. Commander, if you have any questions, please ask."
Lin Mengya naturally knew that Zhou Ling also had a lot of questions to ask.
Looking at Lin Mengya, who was smiling warmly, Zhou Ling did not know where to start.
After a while, she asked politely,
"Miss, how did you know about the abnormality of the corpse?"
The hole on the arm of the corpse was extremely small. Although they had carefully examined the corpse, they did not discover it because of the darkness.
Unexpectedly, this Miss He Lan was able to discover it immediately. This was truly puzzling.
"Actually, it's because of the mechanism that we discovered. I think since there's a mechanism, the corpse must have been tampered with. The place that could have been tampered with is either the clothes or the body of the corpse. The commander's men must have checked the clothes, so it must have been on the corpse. Since it was on the corpse, why didn't I see it at the beginning? "
Lin Mengya was never a person who liked to take all the credit, so she had been very clear about it on the way.
When Zhou Ling asked, she slowly revealed her deductions to Zhou Ling.
"Miss, do you mean that someone tampered with the corpse while we were looking for clues? But my men are all trustworthy, so it's impossible for a spy to have snuck in. "
Of course, there were some things that Lin Mengya could not let Zhou Ling know, so she deliberately asked.
Who would have thought that this Lord Domain Chief was really straightforward and adorable, changing the topic without any effort at all.
Lin Mengya gestured for her to calm down and said in a low voice,
"Of course there's no problem with your men. But there's a saying in my hometown. There's no hate without reason, and there's no love without reason. It's not a coincidence that these four people were chosen. Don't you think there's something wrong with this? "
Zhou Ling was not an ordinary boorish person. In fact, she just did not have too much exposure to these crafty things.
Therefore, she immediately understood without Lin Mengya saying it directly.
"That's right. I've also sent someone to investigate. The four people's hometown and identity are different. They were just guarding Linqiu Pavilion at one time. How did they get themselves into such a fatal disaster? It seems that the palace is not peaceful. "
Some things were self-evident between smart people.
Lin Mengya looked at Zhou Ling, and her smile became softer.
She raised her eyebrows, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.
It had just been a rainstorm, and such a dirty thing had happened. It seemed that there was going to be a storm in the palace.
The two walked to the King's bedroom together, and they did not expect the King to be here.
Zhou Ling seemed to be used to seeing the King, so she was not very reserved.
On the contrary, Lin Mengya felt that the King's gaze seemed to be a little different today.
She could not tell, but she felt that the King seemed to be looking at her.
Strange, she was not a living person. Could it be that the King had forgotten what she looked like?
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was not a meddlesome person. After bowing respectfully, she stood with her hands by her side, not daring to say anything.
"Your Majesty, Madam, after Miss Helan's investigation, she found many suspicious things in Linqiu Pavilion. This is a serious matter, and I dare not speak rashly. Your Majesty, please make a decision. "
Zhou Ling cupped his hands and bowed generously, not trying to hide Lin Mengya's contribution.
Hearing this, the King's eyes fell on Lin Mengya.
He did not ask immediately, but picked up the cup in his hand, took a sip, and then asked.
"What did you find?"
This question was obviously directed at Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya immediately said softly, "Your Majesty, I worked together with Lord Zhou to destroy the mechanism that tried to manipulate the bodies. But there is indeed something strange about the four girls' deaths. But I dare not make a conclusion now. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to get to the bottom of this matter. "
Due to the conditions at night, Lin Mengya had not yet solved some problems.
Since the four girls were all from different backgrounds, the only way to find something in common was to look for it within themselves.
Although she knew that one night would erase many traces, she had no other choice now.
"That's all?"
But the King did not seem to intend to accept the results of their investigation. Lin Mengya felt that something was wrong.
But the King had always been a person who was not easy to understand. Maybe it was because her conclusion was too hasty?
"Not so. It's just that there are many things that I have not confirmed with Lord Zhou, and I am afraid that it will affect your judgment. Your Majesty, please don't blame me for being stupid. "
The King wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Madam Jingrou.
"Your Majesty, I see that Ling 'er and Helan have worked hard for a night. Why don't we leave it at that. You two go back first, and come back tomorrow morning for a reply. "
"Yes."
Lin Mengya, who was confused, raised her head and looked at Madam Jingrou. Madam Jingrou looked normal, and there was nothing special.
Why did His Majesty seem to be targeting her today?
She bowed and followed Zhou Ling out of the King's bedroom. She wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Ling, but found that he was looking at her seriously.
"Miss Helan, I have a few words to say to you."
Lin Mengya was no longer sleepy after half a night of torment.
She nodded and followed Zhou Ling to the side.
After the rain, even though the new lotus had been beaten into a mess, it had been washed until its flower buds were bright and glistening.
Appreciating the lotus flowers under the moon was actually a very elegant thing.
But the expression of the female general beside Lin Mengya was a little tense.
"You can tell me directly if you have something to say. But if it's about the case, then we will talk about it tomorrow. "
Zhou Ling looked at Lin Mengya and suddenly smiled at her.
His slightly shy smile made Lin Mengya feel a little confused.
"I used to think that Wanyan Yu was an idiot who only cared about appearances. But I didn't expect him to have such a good eye. Don't worry, I will go back and tell my father not to bother you so often. Actually, I don't like Wanyan Yu. He is a man, but he looks more delicate than a girl. He doesn't look masculine at all. "
Huh? Apparently, Lin Mengya had not realized what she meant by her words.
The next second, Zhou Ling looked at her with a very sincere look, and there was no longer any intention to be against her.
