Chapter 219 Getting closer to the truth
"Pavilion Master Tang, is this contemptuous of this king? If you have the ability, you can find the murderer yourself."

He gritted his teeth.

Although he agrees that Chu Baihan's feelings go with the flow, it doesn't mean he supports Tang Ze.

Tang Ze didn't even bother to pay attention to his provocative words.

He went straight to Chu Baihan's side and sat down.

Chu Baihan found that his cuffs and collar were wet, as if stained with mist.

She couldn't help asking: "You haven't slept all night?"

"Eldest princess, our pavilion master is going to investigate..." Behind him, Tang Yu hurriedly said.

In the end, before he could finish speaking, Tang Ze said sternly, "Tang Yu!"

Sensing that their master was angry, Tang Yu had no choice but to keep silent.

"Last night, I didn't know how to sleep in the middle of the night, so I went for a walk by the river." Tang Ze said quietly to Chu Baihan.

Can't sleep?

Chu Baihan frowned, she carefully observed his eyes, there were red blood in them.

It's not that he can't sleep, he obviously didn't sleep on purpose.

"you……"

"I just found something by the river." Tang Ze continued.

Chu Baihan's attention was immediately taken away, and she asked urgently, "What did you find?"

"Tang Yu, bring it up."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Soon, Tang Yu asked someone to bring up a basket of dead fish.

The dead fish exuded a foul smell, very similar to the smell of the female corpse yesterday.

After realizing that the two little guys were smelling this smell, their expressions were not right.

Tang Ze immediately ordered Tang Yu again: "Okay, you guys take the dead fish down."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

"We haven't eaten yet, so you brought these dead fish. Isn't that intentional to keep people from eating?" Yan Lian folded her arms and groaned.

But Tang Ze still ignored him.

He asked Chu Baihan directly: "Did you see that dead fish?"

"I see, the fish was plump and plump, not quite like the fish from that river."

Chu Baihan said in a cold voice.

Nan Xing also quickly responded at this time: "That's right, the reason why that river is deserted is not only because it is remote, but also because the water there is not very good, there are few fish, fishermen and people are not willing to go there .”

"This fish was salvaged from the place where the body was found." Tang Ze continued.

"So, the riverside is neither the first place where the corpses were committed, nor the first place where these dead fish were committed." Chu Baihan continued his words in a cold voice.

"Why did the other party do this?" Yan Lian was stunned, and he asked in a strange tone.

It's fine if the murderer puts all his effort into throwing the corpse, why would he still throw the fish?
"The murderer rowed over to dump the body, and it was a fishing boat."

A sharp light flashed in Chu Baihan's eyes, and she spoke immediately.

"That river is connected to Tuohu Lake. But Tuohu Lake is relatively higher, and the water is better than it. There are many fish all year round. Fishermen love to go there to catch fish. The place where the crime happened first should be... Tuohe River !"

"There is a Qin Tower beside the Tuohe River. The singers there are all as beautiful as heavenly beings and have great talents. Many guests come here admiringly." Nan Xing added.

"Then what are you waiting for, we'll check there right away." Yan Lian immediately stood up.

"Prince Lian, you should calm down first." Nan Xing said in a strange tone.

"Why?" Yan Lian looked suspicious.

Nan Xing sighed, and said helplessly, "The Qinlou is the property of King Xu."

"So, King Xu is also involved in this matter?"

Yan Lian swallowed hard.

Didn't they investigate Xiang Zhang's cause of death at first? Why did so many people suddenly get involved? Things really got more and more complicated.

At this time, Wuji came back from the outside.

"Princess, my subordinate is back. Wu Zuo also finished the autopsy." He said quickly.

"how?"

"Xiang Zhang's body was destroyed because of the Gu worm." Wuji's tone was slightly serious.

Gu worm?

When he said this, everyone's face changed.

Chu Baihan's heart tightened slightly.

Because Yan Lin has Gu worms on his body.

"At first, the operators were at a loss. They really didn't know what could make the corpse disappear so quickly. It was the old gentleman who had seen a lot and quickly figured out that it was..."

"Cannibal Gu." Chu Baihan said quietly.

"That's right, man-eating Gu." Wuji nodded quickly.

Unexpectedly, the princess also knew about this kind of Gu insect.

"The man-eating Gu is cruel and can only be placed in a special bottle. When it is released and attached to the flesh of a living person, it will eat up the person's corpse at a very strange speed. Moreover, this person also No pain will be felt."

Chu Baihan explained quietly.

Yesterday, she did not think of this.

That's right, it's something from Miaojiang, she never thought that it would flow into Nanduan country before.

There is another reason, and that is...

"Wait, princess, you just said that the man-eating Gu is attached to the flesh of a living person, doesn't that mean..." Yan Lian said in shock at this moment.

"That means that Xiang Zhang was still alive before getting into the carriage." Chu Baihan shook his head.

This is also one of the reasons why she didn't think of cannibalism.

Because from the beginning, she was more inclined to believe that Xiang Zhang was a dead person.

"But the people in Xiangjun Palace, didn't they say that Xiang Zhang is out of breath?" Nan Xing frowned, looking very puzzled.

"Either Xiang Zhang took fake medicine, or he lied to the people in the county palace." Chu Baihan said coldly.

What secrets does Xiangjun Palace have?
"Let's eat first." Chu Baihan ordered quietly after pondering for a while.

Seeing the two little guys finished their breakfast, Chu Baihan asked his servants to take them to the study to read.

And she smoothed the folds of her cuffs, and then said to Nan Xing: "Take me to Aunt Hu's place."

"Last night, the owner of the pavilion also asked people to investigate the time when Aunt Hu entered the county palace. At that time, two men surnamed Hu died in the capital."

"Aunt Hu's father and brother?" Yan Lian interjected anxiously.

Tang Ze glanced at him, and then said coldly: "These two are indeed father and son, and they are still gamblers. But...they are natives of the capital. When they died, no one collected their bodies. I collected a lot of money from them when I was alive, and I was afraid of bad luck, so I went to collect their corpses."

"The proprietress of the inn also said that the father and son were very poor on weekdays. Because the gambling family was poor, they wandered around her inn every day, picking up leftovers to eat. But one day, they brought a young woman When I came to the inn, I suddenly changed into a human, and I shot very generously."

After Tang Ze finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed again and again.

This time, even Yan Lian, who couldn't turn his head around, was able to react.

"You mean to say that Aunt Hu's identity... is fake?"
