Chapter 251: Fog
Jiang Anning's magnanimity made Wang Shang frown even more.
The person behind this went to great lengths, even using dead men, just to destroy Jiang Anning's innocence...
Could it be that it was really that person’s work?
In the palace, what does it mean?
If these people just wanted to ruin Jiang Anning's reputation, that would be fine. However, these people were invited by Zhao Hai's useless brother.
What is Zhao Jiang?
Is he worthy enough to use a dead soldier?
Thinking with your feet, you can tell that someone must be behind this.
Otherwise... just based on the trash of the Zhao family, it's unclear whether they have the courage to provoke Jiang Anning again.
If Zhao Jiang dared to do this, someone must have secretly given him the confidence.
Wang Shang became more and more suspicious that this matter had something to do with the person in the palace.
Otherwise, how could it be so clever? How could we find Zhao Jiang if we couldn't find anyone?
Such a little-known little person...can't even be considered an ant.
He must have known something to have all these accidents.
In the capital, there are only a few people who know about the relationship between the trash in the Zhao Hai family and Jiang Anning.
But Jiang Anning can't die yet...
Wang Shang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to control the suppressed emotions in his heart.
He didn't know what his master meant to him now.
Was it someone who was aware of what was being done secretly and deliberately condoned it, or was he completely unaware of it?
The girl who was recruited is still missing...
From the first time he came to Jiang'an County, he knew very well that the Lord was not at ease with him at all.
That's why he asked Zhaomei to follow him and perform surveillance duties.
But now, the person who was sent to monitor him has disappeared for no reason.
On the contrary, Jiang'an County once again has an unknown force.
The target is also Jiang Anning.
This feeling of suddenly losing full control of the situation made him feel very uneasy.
The look in Jiang Anning's eyes became more and more complex.
This little girl...
It seems that things are really different from before.
"Since you said that these women were hired by Zhao Jiang with money and cooperated with him to tarnish your reputation, then why do you only see these women and not Zhao Jiang?"
Wang Shang looked at Jiang Anning sharply, trying to find signs of her involvement and scheming in his expression.
However, no matter what he looked at, Jiang Anning always looked that frank.
"I don't know about this either."
Jiang Anning said calmly: "I was not in the embroidery workshop when the incident happened."
"Then where are you?"
"Yesterday, the daughter of Mrs. An's family held a birthday banquet. I went over to attend the banquet."
"When the show ended, it was already midnight..."
Jiang Anning asked Duan Qingshan, although he was not sure whether those women and the escaped guards actually saw Zhao Jiang being captured by him.
But nine times out of ten, I didn’t see it.
Duan Qingshan knocked Zhao Jiang unconscious, wrapped him in a quilt, stuffed him into a cabinet, and then went out.
He didn't think too much at the time, he just felt that no matter what the reason was for such a naked person appearing in Jiang Anning's boudoir, once word got out and someone with intentions took advantage of him, he would definitely not say anything good. .
Yu Jiang Anning's reputation is in jeopardy.
Therefore, he was more cautious.
After confirming that he was the only one in the embroidery workshop, he carried Zhao Jiang alone to the dry well in the deserted courtyard next door.
The reason why Zhao Jiang was not thrown to death was thanks to that quilt.
Wang Shang did not doubt what Jiang Anning said.
After all, Jiang Anning's banquet at Mrs. An's house was not a secret at all.
As long as you ask a little bit, you can find out clearly.
There was no need for Jiang Anning to lie about this kind of thing.
After all, this kind of lie will only be self-defeating.
In all likelihood, she really didn't know where Zhao Jiang was.
Wang Shang is infinitely optimistic.
He slightly bowed his hand to the county magistrate, seeming to be respectful, but in fact he ordered: "My lord, I am afraid that the most urgent task at the moment is to quickly arrange for people to search for the remaining accomplices of these people and the whereabouts of Zhao Jiang and others."
The county magistrate glared at him: Do I still know that the top priority now is to quickly catch the remaining accomplices of these people and Zhao Jiang?
But how to catch it? Where to catch it?
In the yamen, where are the people to catch him?
And they searched the whole city... Now in the yamen, haven't all the people who can be mobilized have been replaced by your Wang Shang's people?
The county magistrate was filled with anger.
But he had to cooperate with Wang Shang and ordered: "What Zhou Putou said makes sense! Just do what Zhou Putou said! I will leave full authority to Zhou Putou to arrest people!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Capt. Zhou will take this matter seriously and give me a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!"
"Just be more careful and don't cause panic and make the people of Jiang'an County feel uneasy."
Wang Shangpi responded with a smile: "Don't worry, sir."
Jiang Anning watched them exchange hypocritical politeness with cold eyes, and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
She wanted to see what was going on with that body.
Is it the autopsy recorded in her mother-in-law's handbook?
I don't know if he was aware of her intention or if he had it all in mind.
Wang Shang gave a few instructions to his men and walked to Jiang Anning. There was a faint smile on his lips, which seemed to be a bit malicious: "Little lady, do you want to see what the corpse looks like?"
Jiang Anning looked at him expressionlessly.
Wang Shang chuckled twice: "Perhaps when you see the person's appearance, you will think of any more useful clues?"
The county magistrate was about to interrupt: Wasn't the body already unrecognizable?
Where else could Jiang Anning go to identify the clues?
What's more... is it really appropriate for such a delicate little lady to see something so terrifying that even he is afraid of?
But before he could stop him, Jiang Anning was already eager to give it a try, but asked timidly: "Can I watch? This seems to be against the rules..."
"The county magistrate is here. If he says yes, it's okay. What's wrong with the rules?"
Wang Shang glanced at the county magistrate: "In Jiang'an County, the magistrate is the sky."
The county magistrate gritted his teeth in anger and glared at the person with hatred.
What does this man mean?
Jiang Anning looked at the county magistrate very cooperatively.
The county magistrate took a deep breath and said calmly: "Since Capt. Zhou has said this, Miss Jiang, please take a closer look. If you can find any useful clues, we can solve the problem as soon as possible." In this case, catch the murderers who are still absconding! ”
He emphasized the word "murderer" deliberately.
Jiang Anning blinked: "Then I'll just take a look?"
"Look."
Wang Shang looked at Jiang Anning with interest, eager to see what his reaction would be after seeing those mutilated corpses.
It seems like a bad idea, but in fact... it's more of a temptation.
He wanted to know if Jiang Anning knew about the "dismemberment".
As Jiang Anning walked towards the morgue, Wang Shang's eyes became more and more glued to the person. Even someone as slow as a county magistrate can tell something is wrong.
Jiang Anning was very indifferent, as if she didn't feel at all that she was being stared at.
She looked normal and reached out to lift the white cloth covering the body.
The first thing you see is a few incomplete, lumpy pieces, like hot-fried meat dumplings.
If you look closely, you will find that there is a dense layer of insects lying on it, slowly eroding the huddled flesh.
"Did you see anything, little lady?"
Wang Shang quietly approached the person and spoke quietly.
Jiang Anning tilted her head and rolled her eyes.
"Hasn't this Mr. Head Catcher ever heard that if someone scares someone, he will scare them to death?"
"You appeared behind me quietly, like a wandering spirit, and suddenly made a sound..."
"Is it scary?" Wang Shang laughed twice and interrupted: "But when I look at the little lady, she doesn't look scared at all."
"I am naturally brave!"
Jiang Anning smiled and did Tai Chi with others: "Besides, I am not afraid of ghosts."
"If I saw that ferocious and terrifying thing, I would just want to wipe his neck with a knife!"
Wang Shang felt inexplicably that this girl's words were directed at him.
But his current identity is clearly just the head catcher in the yamen.
He subconsciously wanted to touch the fake face on his face to see if there were any flaws.
He reacted quickly and held back.
"Young lady is really brave."
Wang Shang smiled: "I'm not even afraid of this."
"I grew up in the countryside, and I have always seen a lot of things like insects."
Jiang Anning looked magnanimous: "It's true that there's nothing to fear."
"At most I feel a little disgusting."
Wang Shang couldn't help but frown: "Insects?"
His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he almost couldn't hold it back. He reached out and pinched Jiang Anning's neck: "What do you know!"
Jiang Anning blinked innocently: "I just saw that there were so many white bugs on the morgue."
"It looks like termites but not quite. It also looks a bit like albino lice, but not particularly like them."
"I don't know what those are."
Wang Shang frowned: "You mean, you just saw a bug?"
"Yes!" Jiang Anning pointed to the morgue: "On top of those pieces of meat..."
Wang Shang and the county magistrate looked at each other and stepped forward quickly.
When they got closer and took a closer look, they were all shocked.
So many bugs!
A densely packed piece, like transparent rice grains spread on it.
"This, what is this!"
The county magistrate exclaimed: "Wu Zuo! Wu Zuo!"
Wang Shang didn't know what these were.
As far as he knew, corpse worms were black-brown insects that were dozens of times smaller than ants.
Normally, only when this kind of thing appears in patches, the naked eye can see something like black spots attached to human skin.
He had never seen this kind of... almost transparent insect, let alone heard of it.
Could it be that this dead soldier's body was not a corpse?
After Wu Zuo trotted in, he was shocked when he saw the dense insects.
He cupped his hands and looked at the county magistrate: "Sir, this old man is actually very talented and has little knowledge. He has never seen such a strange thing in his life."
After decades of working as a ghostwriter, I have even seen the Giant Temple.
But I have never seen anything like this. Insects sprouted out of nowhere on the corpse and gnawed the entire corpse clean.
Even the natural decay and decomposition of corpses are not so fast!
Everyone was helpless about what was happening in front of them.
I could only watch helplessly as the corpse of the dead soldier changed from a lump to a little bit until it completely disappeared.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
This...
If this thing could be popularized, wouldn't it be possible to kill people and destroy their corpses easily in the future?
Absolutely, no trace at all!
Wang Shang couldn't help but think of Sang Jingwan.
Could it be that Sang Jingwan's body disappeared like this instead of being hidden?
He looked at the empty morgue, feeling more and more confusion lingering in his mind.
-
Huichun Medical Center.
"What's going on? How come corpse disintegrating insects appear in Jiang'an County?"
Xie Yutong frowned and looked at the old doctor who had just come out of the darkroom.
"I don't know either."
"The Gu insects in the dark room are all under the control of the Gu King and are peaceful."
"I'm sure it's not a Gu insect that sneaked out from us."
But in this way, it becomes even more difficult to trace the source of the Gu insects outside.
"The sudden appearance of Gu insects in Jiang'an County outside our surveillance is a matter of great importance. We must investigate clearly!"
Xie Yutong looked serious.
The old doctor hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Do you think it has something to do with Jiang Anning?"
"What does it have to do with her? She has never studied..."
Xie Yutong's voice suddenly paused.
She looked at the old doctor, and after a while, she hesitated and said, "You mean, Jingwan probably left the King of Gu to Jiang Anning back then, and now, by some strange combination of circumstances, the King of Gu has been summoned. Awake? ”
The old doctor nodded solemnly: "It's not impossible."
"Otherwise, think about it, with Sister Jingwan's abilities, how could she be controlled by a small mortal emperor and lose her life?"
"Even if she can't compete for a moment, with her abilities and the help of Gu King, she can command hundreds of insects, so she can't even escape!"
"Unless it is, King Gu is no longer with her."
"That's why she was helpless in the face of Emperor Dajing's persecution. She could only try her best to plan a plan to protect Jiang Anning's life."
When Xie Yutong heard this, he frowned in thought.
After a while, she said uncertainly: "What you said is not impossible."
"But, if Jing Wan really left the Gu King on her body to Jiang Anning back then, why haven't you and I felt the presence of that Gu King until now?"
"Besides, if King Gu is still alive, it means that Jingwan's aura is still there."
"If there is still any aura left, then Jingwan's soul jade plaque in the Sang family should always remain green."
"But you and I have clearly confirmed that the jade plaque in the Sang family that records Jingwan's vitality has already declared her death."
All this makes no sense!
