Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 29 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (29)

"Could it be the art of animal creation?"

After thinking for a long time, Zhai Hongxia finally came up with this question, although he had never seen the animal-making technique with his own eyes, nor had he solved a similar case.

But there are indeed many similar legends among the people.

It should not be aimless or fabricated out of thin air.

The so-called animal-making technique means that some evil Taoist priests will turn children or women into sheep and donkeys in order to facilitate the trafficking of children or women, so as to facilitate passing the levels. However, the way to crack it is also very simple, just feed them water.

At this time, Zhai Hongxia was desperate and had to try any possible means to cure his illness.

After all, King Lu's feet became pig's trotters and his tongue became a pig's tongue.

It seems to be barely related to the art of animal creation.

"That shouldn't be the case. We've tried to use the animal-making technique to give King Lu water. He's also tried to drink soup, take medicine, and eat food, but there's no change. This doesn't fit the legend of the animal-making technique, and animal-making techniques usually turn people into sheep and donkeys."

"I've never heard of turning a person into a pig."

A Taoist priest quickly said that he had asked a similar question before and had tried to solve it.

But it was useless and ended in failure.

Hearing this, Doctor Wang sighed helplessly:

"The Animal Creation Technique is fake. Even tracing back to its origins, it's both cruel and pathetic. No one has ever been transformed into a sheep or a donkey by the Animal Creation Technique. There's no such thing as an illusion. People have always been people!

There was nothing to eat during the famine years, so we had to eat.

Then you can only deceive yourself and eat sheep and donkeys.

Over time, rumors spread, and with deliberate cover-ups, it eventually evolved into the art of animal creation. There was no such thing as someone turning into an animal; they simply closed their eyes and hypnotized themselves, deceiving even their conscience.

Alas, some legends are far more horrific, cruel, and despicable than they appear. ”

Some found this difficult to accept, others found it understandable, but no one questioned it. Peace had only been enjoyed for less than twenty years, and many present had lived through the previous decades of turmoil. Anyone with some experience knew that what Doctor Wang had just said was likely true.

Moreover, Doctor Wang has a family background.

It is also impossible to deliberately talk nonsense about this matter.

Everyone was depressed for a while and sighed for a long time before they started discussing again at Dong Huaide's urging what to do about Prince Lu's situation.
No matter how many poor people there are, it has nothing to do with them. The most important thing now is how to solve the problem of King Lu being possessed by evil spirits.

"What should I do? What can I do?
Everyone in the mansion has been questioned, and every possible place has been searched, but no pigs, not even a single bone, have been found. The slaughtered pigs might be hidden, but there are hundreds of corpses buried under the garden. How can so many things be hidden?

Either there are many traitors in your house who secretly worked together to do this and concealed it, or it is really a ghost and you encountered a powerful and unconventional magician.

I have handled so many cases in the Dali Temple.

I've never seen anything so strange!

I have seen many victims who did not look like humans. They were harvested and mutilated using various horrific methods. A quick inspection would reveal that they were not born that way naturally.

Many of them could only live for three to five years before dying miserably. But now there is not a single trace of artificial stitching on Prince Lu's body, as if it had grown naturally. But we all know that Prince Lu was not like that originally.

This is really beyond my capabilities.”

Last night, Zhai Hongxia was quite confident, believing the incident at Prince Lu's mansion was merely a sophisticated sleight of hand or method of committing a crime. With his intelligence and past experience, even if he couldn't easily solve it, with a little more effort, he should be able to uncover some clues and, through those clues, follow the thread to the truth.

However, now it turns out not to be the case.

Although we knew clearly what the problem was, it must be related to the missing pig and the hundreds of corpses that disappeared under the garden, but there was no clue or lead to the disappearance of the pig and those corpses.

My mentality is getting a little tense.

At this time, Doctor Wang gave a new suggestion:
"We haven't searched everywhere. Didn't we search the mourning hall of Princess Lu? And we haven't searched the alchemy room where His Royal Highness Prince Lu makes the elixir either! Besides that, there should be some secret rooms in the palace, or even places of imprisonment.

After all, Prince Lu needs living people to use as medicine when refining the elixir.

Or at least fresh.

Those people he abducted were unlikely to be placed in ordinary courtyards. They must have been imprisoned in secret rooms or other hidden spaces. Although I don’t know where those secret rooms and the places where pregnant women were imprisoned are?

But I am sure there must be one in the palace.

Furthermore, even curses and witchcraft can't be performed in vain. One must know Prince Lu's birth date, which is also something we can focus on investigating. Not many people in the entire palace, or even the entire world, know Prince Lu's birth date. Furthermore, the person who cast the curse seems to have only used pigs so far. What is the specific purpose of the bones? Or why they disappeared is still uncertain!"

"The most important thing now is to find the remains of the pig, or to figure out where it went, or to find its bones. If we find these things, at least we can have a direction for the investigation."

Doctor Wang must have a clearer understanding of the layout of the palace than Dong Huaide. After all, Dong Huaide had only been here for less than half a month. He came here with Prince Lu, who was sent back from the capital and had been in seclusion for a year. After he arrived, he probably hadn't even met everyone in Prince Lu's palace yet, let alone other things.

Even though Doctor Wang was not valued by Prince Lu, he had at least been in Prince Lu's mansion for three or four years. He was also responsible for the purchase and preparation of some common medicinal materials, such as ginseng and bear bile, which could not be used directly fresh.

It can only be used after being processed.

So he may not know where some special places like secret rooms are, but he knows they definitely exist.

I also know that the county magistrate didn't find it just now.

These things should not be said, but if nothing can be found, it always feels dangerous. At least we need to have a direction first, so that Emperor Tianwu, who may be furious when he finds out about it later, will have someone to vent his anger on.

Otherwise, I would probably vent my anger on them.

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

Zhai Hongxia immediately became excited, because in his opinion, the secret room mentioned by Doctor Wang, or some other place where no one knew where, was very likely to hide evidence. After all, few murderers would openly place physical evidence in the living room, attic, or study.

Those hidden and unknown places.

It's simply not suitable for hiding things.

Moreover, people who know those places must be particularly clear about the layout of Prince Lu's Palace. Only people who are very familiar with the internal layout of Prince Lu's Palace and the hidden secret rooms have the ability to transfer countless bones quietly.
