I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 198 The suspect is dead?
  From the first incident to today, there have been more than 20 victims.

Everyone's opinions were the same. They saw Hong Yi's innocent soul, and the appearance of his death was very similar. There were plum blossom marks on his chest before his death.

At the beginning, only a red mark could be seen on the chest.

Gradually, the red mark began to spread, and ink-colored branches grew, extending all the way to the entire chest.

When the seven plum blossoms bloom on the branches, it is the time of death.

It sounds very mysterious, and even Cao An is a little confused by this situation.

He launched the [Silver Needle Poison Test], but no toxin was found, ruling out the possibility of chronic poisoning.

But the spreading feeling of skin discoloration is very much like poisoning! I can't stop even if I cut my heart out, and I can't find any problem at all.

Cao An finally understood why this group of people believed that they were innocent souls seeking their lives.

Because under this heavy guard, no one can touch the deceased, let alone embroider tattoos on the chest or plant plum blossoms.

So it must be an innocent soul.

"Not necessarily." Cao An still insisted on his judgment.

It's a pity that the three people died for more than half a month. During this period, doctors also tried to save them, but in vain, and instead destroyed many marks on their bodies.

But it doesn’t matter, isn’t there someone alive?

Cao An ended the investigation of the corpse and decided to find the one who was still alive.

Just looking at that person's condition, he seemed a little unable to hold on.

Coming to another room, the doctors at this moment were surrounding the guard captain and giving all their strength to treatment. All kinds of precious medicinal materials were used, just to resist the extension of Huomei.

Of course, don't think that they really have such intentions. If it were before, I'm afraid they would have given up.

But this time it involves the prince. This rescue is on the one hand, but more importantly, he wants to test medicine and find a better treatment plan for the prince.

Fortunately, the guard captain was very strong and could hold on for the time being, but looking at his chest, the fifth fire plum blossom had bloomed, and his life was hanging by a thread.

When he came in, this man was gritting his teeth, sweating all over his head, and looked quite painful.

When he discovered that everyone had arrived, he only had the remaining strength to greet the king. It was impossible to stand up and salute.

Fortunately, no one cared about etiquette at this time.

"I want to ask a few questions, can you stop for a moment?" Cao An asked several doctors.

When the doctors heard this, they stood up and got out of the way without hesitation.

This clean and neat step makes the patient feel a little chilled, right? The state of your efforts just now wasn't just pretending, was it?

Regardless of this, Cao An approached the bed and carefully looked at the fire plum mark on his chest. The bright color seemed to have a faint evil spirit swimming around.

Feeling his arrival, the guard captain opened his eyes weakly.

"Are you Cao An from the Tsing Yi Department? I heard the princess and others talking about you."

"Yes, I am Cao An, and I came to investigate the case at the invitation of your king. Can you still persist? I want to ask you a few questions."

The guard captain swallowed hard and replied angrily: "Okay, you can ask."

"Did you all see the woman in red when you passed by that day?"

"Yes, I saw it all."

"Right in the middle of that lake? Is there any fog around that interferes with the view?"

"Yes, the blood spring seems to be boiling, and red mist rises, making it look very hazy."

"Did Yang Sanyong really go around the pond and take a closer look at the woman's face?"

Doubt flashed in the guard captain's eyes. He thought that Cao An was here to investigate the information about the wronged soul, and was ready to find the right opportunity to kill the demon.

Why did you suddenly mention Yang Sanyong again?
  "Yes, he walked around and saw the woman's face."

"What about you? Have you seen the woman clearly?"

"No, we are all watching from a distance and don't dare to go there."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. I probably understand."

Cao An's eyes flashed, and in a few words, he had grasped the key points, got up and left the bed.

The doctors around him were performing a "physical and mental exhaustion" performance in front of the king. At this moment, seeing that Cao An's investigation was over, they hurriedly threw themselves into the "intense" rescue work.

King Yangli was very concerned about his son and was about to ask questions. Cao An had already said in advance: "I have found some problems, but I am not sure yet. I still need to see the situation of the blood spring before I can make a judgment."

Hearing this, the king also expressed his understanding: "It's late at night today. Let's set off tomorrow. I will take you there personally to check. You rescued my children, and I haven't had time to thank you for your kindness." "No, it's a small matter. Let’s deal with His Highness’ condition first.”

"Well, after he was rescued by you that day, he kept saying that you were a great hero. Please don't live up to his expectations and save him."

"Of course, I will try my best." A faint smile appeared on Cao An's face.

Everyone in the Tsing Yi Department who was familiar with him felt calmer after seeing this smile.

This kind of smile is often Cao An's expression when he grasps the key points.

After settling in the other hospital where they were staying, everyone was quite curious about the case.

Ying Huorong jumped up immediately and asked: "Cao An, Cao An, Sister Huhu said that she wants to hear you tell a story. Tell her quickly."

Without hesitation, this man sold the other soul in his body.

When the red fox heard this, he felt ashamed and annoyed. He actually controlled his tinder hand and scratched his waist.

One body, two souls, scratching themselves and playing around, which made Cao An quite funny.

"Okay, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you. The so-called woman in red probably doesn't exist."

"Doesn't it exist? You haven't even gone to the blood spring, so you're so sure?"

"Of course, if the previous King Huomei hadn't died, he would have committed crimes long ago. Why did he only kill about twenty people in the past ten years?"

"It's also possible that she turned into an innocent soul and was stuck in that blood spring?" Ying Huorong thought of the innocent soul in the fork in the underworld.

"Things are different."

Cao An took her little hand and looked at the white and soft touch. It was really...

"Ahem, I mean, you just used your hands to test the fire emanating from Huomei. Are you injured?"

"No, but the flame is indeed very domineering. I almost couldn't suppress it. Maybe it's not necessarily the blood in the blood spring."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but with that level of blood and fire, the yang energy is so strong and fierce that both humans and ghosts will die. There is no possibility of an innocent soul."

In the Huangquan Fork Road, tens of thousands of people died. They were all suppressed by the power of the golden dragon fish, and their resentment was so high that they were unable to survive.

And a blazing masculine place like the Blood Spring is the nemesis of the wronged soul.

So when it came to the innocent soul asking for his life, Cao An thought it was a joke, and someone was obviously pretending to be a ghost.

Ying Changfeng, who was in the distance, heard this and rushed over to join the discussion.

Of course, the main purpose is to pull away Cao An's advantageous hand and ask: "If there is no innocent soul, why did everyone see the woman? Some even saw the face?"

"It's simple, because whoever sees the face is the perpetrator."

"Yang Sanyong? Is he the murderer?"

"It's very suspected that Youdao is a three-man tiger. It may be just a red coat, but if someone in the team leads the rhythm, then gradually, the red coat's rumor of being the wronged soul will come true."

In the mist, I couldn't see clearly. How could they all say it was a woman?
  Moreover, Yang Sanyong is also very suspicious. He obviously looks very timid, but now his legs are shaking as he talks about the case.

At that time, you actually dared to go around the edge of the pool and see the woman's face clearly?
  This performance is obviously inconsistent.

As for that canvas, it is a canvas that gathers people’s imagination when looking at it from a distance.

As long as a person who is willing to add some embellishments and guidance, the image of the wronged soul will be presented easily.

Good things never go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Public opinion is the easiest thing to believe as long as you are willing to lead it to the bad side.

Yang Sanyong is constantly expressing fear, using his own fear to influence people around him and create panic.

Just look at King Yangli and you will know that he has never seen it before, but he is already panicking at this moment. The scam of three people becoming a tiger is just a simple drama.

"But the Flame Bamboo Kingdom also saw it! There is also a conspiracy there? And how to explain the mark of the Fire Plum Blossom?"

"These are still uncertain, so I won't rush to make a judgment. I will go to the blood spring to have a look tomorrow and then make plans."

"So what preparations should we make now?"

"Just rest peacefully, don't go and scare the snake. Tomorrow's trip to the blood spring, just keep an eye on Yang Sanyong. He is most likely the murderer."

……

Early the next morning, Cao An got up in a warm cashmere quilt.

Before he could take a sip of goat milk, Ying Huorong ran in anxiously.

"Cao An, Yang Sanyong died last night."
