"If anyone has a dagger, or a smaller knife, please lend it to me."
Seeing that Lin Mengya seemed to have discovered something, Zhou Ling immediately took out her saber from her waist and handed it to Lin Mengya.
Only then did Lin Mengya realize that this Lord Dutong actually wore a sword on his slender waist.
It seems that he is 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 called a few of them to provide him with lighting, and with sharp eyes, he carefully looked at the forearms of the female corpses.
Sure enough, starting from the wrist and ending at the elbow of the arm, Lin Mengya discovered extremely small black spots.
If she guessed correctly, these black spots should be small holes.
It's just that the holes are so tiny that it's difficult for ordinary people to detect them.
Lin Mengya drew out her short knife again and skillfully dissected an arm.
Just as she thought, the bones on the forearm were clean and smooth.
This shows that although there is still muscle wrapping on the outside, the flesh and bones have actually been separated.
And those tiny holes should have been caused by something manipulating the four corpses.
Such cruel methods, people in their hands simply become tools.
"How is this going?"
Zhou Ling is also someone who has seen blood, but she has seen very little of the many methods of the Zhulong Society.
Now that Lin Mengya understood what was going on, these corpses had lost their meaning.
"I would like to ask Mr. Du Tong to report this matter with me. As for the body, it should be carried outside first and some trustworthy people should be found to guard it."
She didn't know if those people had any backup plans. Until now, Lin Mengya could be 100% sure that everything that happened here was inseparable from the Zhulong Society.
From the Immortal Powder that Long Tianyu almost destroyed, to the Bronze Slave he saw on Qijue Peak.
The people in the Candle Dragon Society are probably a bunch of scientific madmen.
Such perverted things can only come from their handiwork.
I sighed, just feeling pity for these innocent people who died in vain.
Standing up, Lin Mengya, who was about to leave, suddenly seemed to remember something.
He turned around again and looked at the faces of the four people carefully.
Although his expression was stiff and ferocious, his once delicate facial features could still be vaguely discerned.
Although the Zhulong Society does strange things, there should be some traces to follow.
Are these four people randomly selected? Or, what do they have in common
Seeing Lin Mengya's confused look, Zhou Ling couldn't help but step forward to disturb her.
She had a bad attitude towards Lin Mengya before, but later, Lin Mengya woke her up hard with reality.
No wonder Madam, after hearing about this incident, the first thing she thought of was this Helan girl.
She has specialization in martial arts, even though He Lan is far inferior to her in martial arts.
But she is observant and has many unique skills.
Obviously, she, Zhou Ling, lost in this round.
"These palace ladies have nothing in common except that they are the same people guarding here. What, are there any clues?"
This makes no sense. The bloody and horrific act that day was still etched in the depths of Lin Mengya's mind.
Could it be that it was really just randomly chosen
His brows were furrowed, and many questions were tangled in his mind.
However, one day she will get to the bottom of it.
Along the way, Lin Mengya was worried and kept thinking about the known ropes.
Although Zhou Ling was following her, he rarely bothered to disturb her.
When they were almost reaching the king's palace, Lin Mengya stopped and looked at Zhou Ling apologetically.
"I'm sorry. If you have any questions, Lord Commander, you might as well speak up."
Lin Mengya naturally knew that Zhou Ling also had a lot of questions to talk about.
Looking at Lin Mengya who smiled very gently, Zhou Ling was a little confused as to where to start.
After a long while, he asked politely:
"May I ask, girl, how did you learn about the strange appearance of the corpse?"
The holes on the arms of the corpse were extremely small. Although they carefully examined the corpse, they could not find it because of the darkness.
Unexpectedly, this Helan girl discovered it all at once, which was really puzzling.
"Actually, it's because of the mechanism we found. I think since there is a mechanism, the corpse must have been tampered with. The place where the manipulation can be done is either in the clothes or on the corpse. People who rule the clothes, It must have been checked, so it’s on the corpse. Since it’s on the corpse, why didn’t even I see it at first?”
Lin Mengya has never been someone who likes to take all the credit, so she has become very clear on the road.
When Zhou Ling asked, she slowly revealed her inference to Zhou Ling.
"Young girl, you mean that someone took advantage of us to look for clues and tampered with these corpses? But my people are all trustworthy, and there is absolutely no way that spies can sneak in."
Of course, there were some things that Lin Mengya couldn't let Zhou Ling know, so she deliberately asked.
Unexpectedly, this Lord Tutong was so frank and cute, and he changed the subject without any effort.
Lin Mengya signaled her to be calm and lowered her voice and said:
"Of course there is nothing wrong with the adults. But there is a saying in my hometown that there is no hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason. The reason why these four people were chosen is not accidental. Don't you think that among them , is there anything else wrong?"
Zhou Ling is by no means an ordinary reckless person. In fact, she just hasn't been too deeply involved in these deceitful things.
So Lin Mengya didn't need to say anything straightforward, she understood immediately.
"Yes, I also sent people to check. The hometowns of these four people have different identities. They were just guarding Linqiu Pavilion at one time. How could they cause such a fatal disaster? It seems that, It’s not peaceful in the palace.”
Among smart people, some things are self-evident.
Lin Mengya looked at Zhou Ling, her smile becoming softer.
He raised his eyebrows, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
There had just been a heavy rain, and such dirty things were revealed. It seemed that the wind was really going to blow in the palace.
The two of them walked to the king's palace together, but they didn't expect that the king was also here.
Zhou Ling seemed to be used to seeing the king, so he wasn't too cautious.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, felt that the king's gaze today seemed a little different from before.
She couldn't tell, she just felt that the king seemed to be looking at her.
It's strange that she is no longer a stranger. Could it be that the king has forgotten her appearance and that's why
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was not a meddlesome person. After bowing respectfully, she stood with her hands down, not daring to say anything.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Madam, after Miss Helan's investigation, many suspicious things were found in Linqiu Pavilion. This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make false claims. I also ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
Zhou Ling bowed his hands grandly in salute, not covering up Lin Mengya's contribution at all.
Hearing this, the king's eyes fell on Lin Mengya.
But he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he picked up the cup at hand and took a sip before asking.
"What did you find?"
These words were obviously addressed to Lin Mengya.
The latter immediately said softly: "I am reporting to the king that my servant and Mr. Zhou worked together to destroy the mechanism that attempted to manipulate the corpses. However, there is indeed something strange about the death of the four girls. However, I dare not make a conclusion now. Something happened together. , we’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out.”
Restricted by the conditions at night, Lin Mengya still has some unresolved problems.
Since the four girls have different backgrounds, the only way to find common ground is through themselves.
Although she knew that a lot of traces would be erased in one night, but for now, she had no choice.
"that is it?"
However, the king seemed not to accept their investigation results, and Lin Mengya felt something slightly wrong.
But the king has always been a person who is not easy to figure out, maybe because her conclusions are too hasty
"That's not the case, it's just that there are many things that I and Master Zhou have not implemented yet, for fear of delaying the king's judgment. Please, your Majesty, don't blame this servant for being stupid."
The king wanted to say something else, but Madam Jingrou stopped him halfway.
"Your Majesty, I think Ling'er and Helan have worked hard all night. Why don't we just leave it like this for now. You two go back first and come back tomorrow morning to reply."
"yes."
Lin Mengya, who was confused, just raised her head and looked at his wife. The latter was doing everything as usual, and there was nothing special about her.
Why is it that today, the king has some vague intentions towards her
After bowing, he followed Zhou Ling out of the king's palace. He wanted to say goodbye to him, but found that Zhou Ling was looking at him seriously.
"Miss Helan, I have a few words that I want to say to you."
After struggling for half the night, Lin Mengya no longer felt sleepy.
He nodded and followed Zhou Ling to the side.
After the rain, the new lotuses were beaten to pieces, but the buds were washed so brightly that they were dripping with color.
Appreciating lotus flowers under the moon is actually an elegant thing.
But the female general next to Lin Mengya looked a little tense.
"If you have something to do, just tell me. But if it's about a case, then everything has to wait until tomorrow."
Zhou Ling looked at Lin Mengya and suddenly smiled at her.
The slightly shy smile made Lin Mengya a little confused.
"I used to think that Wanyanyu boy was a loser who only cared about appearance. But I didn't expect that he is really discerning. Don't worry, I will tell my father when I get back and tell him not to do it every day. Come and bother the king. Actually, I don’t like that boy Wanyanyu either. He is obviously a grown man, and he looks more delicate than a girl, but he doesn’t look masculine."
ha? Lin Mengya obviously hadn't yet realized what she meant by what she said.
The next second, Zhou Ling looked at her with extremely sincere eyes, without any hint of tit-for-tat.
"Actually, I just want to test you. After all, it is related to our Lieyun's future, so we have to be cautious. However, the girl's performance greatly exceeded my expectations. From now on, I will definitely let my father, General, take care of you. Send it to the queen’s throne.”
