281 Satisfaction

“Whether she’ll be frightened or not is one thing, but whether this is appropriate is another!” Lu Ze wasn’t convinced by Pei Qian’s explanation at all. Instead, his tone became even more unfriendly. “Could it be that because you’re stronger than others, I can attack you without any scruples?”

“Alright, alright, alright. It’s my fault!” Pei Qian raised his hand and admitted his mistake. At the same time, he gestured for them to continue looking at the head in the box. “This is the northern barbarian spy!

I originally wanted to interrogate him some more, but halfway through, he became like this! To be honest, I’ve interrogated hundreds of criminals at the Imperial City Division, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a situation!”

“Why is there only one head?” After Pei Qian’s reminder, Wei Qing finally realized that something was wrong with the head in the box in front of him.

It wasn’t so much a human head as a piece of wax sculpture.

The head seemed to have been sealed by wax and looked very surreal.

“We only had time to snatch this head.” Hearing Wei Qing’s question, Qian He, who was standing at the side, quickly explained in a low voice.

“Just now, Mr. Pei felt that he had nothing to do in the Imperial City’s government office, so he went over to watch the interrogation of the northern barbarian spy.

“That spy couldn’t withstand the torture and had already answered most of our questions. Just as Mr. Pei asked a new question, he began to melt in front of us…”

Qian He still felt a lingering fear when he mentioned what had happened in the Imperial City.

“When Mr. Pei saw that the situation wasn’t right, Mr. Pei quickly cut off his head! Originally, we only wanted to give it a try, but we didn’t expect to really be able to preserve this head.

“Because we don’t understand what’s going on, we can only trouble you to take a look.”

Just as Qian He was describing this process, Lin Suisui was finally allowed to look up from Lu Ze’s arms. When she turned around, her attention was immediately attracted by the head in the wooden box.

She raised her hand and pulled the box closer to her. After looking at it carefully for a while, she seemed to be dissatisfied. She pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and fiddled with it carefully for a while before putting down the silver hairpin that was starting to turn black. Then, she looked up at Pei Qian as she explained in a low voice, “This is not poison. It’s a Gu from the southern border.”

“Gu?!” Pei Qian was stunned. He had thought of many possibilities, but he didn’t expect them to encounter a legendary Gu technique that only existed in the southern border.

“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded very seriously as she said to Pei Qian, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a type of bee Gu.

Mr. Pei, have you seen bees before?

In the world of bees, one queen ruled over everyone, and all the remaining bees had to listen to the queen’s arrangements. This Gu was named the bee Gu because of this characteristic!

From the moment this Gu poison was planted, the person who was poisoned had to be completely loyal to the owner of the Gu poison! Once they betrayed or did something that the owner didn’t allow, they would suffer the backlash of the Gu poison. They would become beeswax or melt into honey and dissipate!”

Lin Suisui’s words made the few experienced generals present feel a chill run down their spines.

“However, this Gu is very rare! Usually, it will only be used on the royal family’s guards in Siam! In order to make the guards loyal, most of the guards will be planted with this Gu!

This might be a clue to the investigation. If you want to investigate, you can follow this clue.”

After Lin Suisui explained the existence of that Gu, she didn’t forget to provide Pei Qian with an investigation direction.

“Thank you for your explanation, Madam Liu.”

When Pei Qian heard Lin Suisui’s explanation, he naturally didn’t forget to thank her. However, before he could say anything else, he heard Lin Suisui ask very seriously, “Um, does Mr. Pei still need this?”

“Huh?” Pei Qian looked at the wooden box containing the human head Lin Suisui was pointing at in confusion. He didn’t expect Lin Suisui to ask this question.

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Minghui, who was drinking tea, almost spat out the tea.

“If you don’t need it, can you give this to me?”

“Madam Liu, why do you want this thing?!” Pei Qian frowned. He didn’t expect this woman to be even bolder than he had imagined!

“Of course I want to examine it!” Lin Suisui didn’t hide her interest in this head. “This is the first time I’ve seen the preserved corpse of a person who was poisoned by a bee Gu!”

“Haven’t you already seen what you should have seen?!” Pei Qian didn’t understand. From the looks of it, she had already moved what she should have seen. How else could there be to see?

“That’s not enough. I just took a simple look at its appearance. I haven’t had the chance to look inside yet!” Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian seriously as she explained, “If you don’t need it, I want to cut it open and see what it looks like inside!”

Pei Qian couldn’t help but swallow hard. He didn’t answer Lin Suisui’s suggestion immediately. Instead, he looked at Lu Ze, who was sitting beside Lin Suisui.

He thought that Lu Ze, who had been so protective of Lin Suisui previously, would probably refuse. However, to his surprise, Lu Ze took the lid and closed the box. Then, he said to Lin Suisui, “Go back first. I’ll bring this over to you when I go back later.”

“That’s great!” Lin Suisui was very satisfied. She stood up and bowed to Pei Qian very politely before turning around and leaving quickly, leaving Pei Qian and the others looking at each other in dismay.

“I thought you would refuse!” After Lin Suisui left, Pei Qian turned to look at Lu Ze in disbelief. “Didn’t you refuse to even let her see it just now? Why didn’t you stop her just now?”

“Because she wants to study this thing to improve her medical skills.” Lu Ze slowly poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before answering Pei Qian’s question. “Just like you and I, when we see a good sword or a good horse, we also want to take a look and possess it.

Since it’s useful to her and it’s not like I can’t give it to her, why should I reject her request?”
