Under the sun’s exposure, one body was the first to develop necrotic spots.
Immediately after that, the second one, the third one ……
In less than three minutes, on the entire twelve corpses, all of them appeared with the same corpse spots.
People with some medical knowledge know that after a normal person dies, the body spots are usually purple or dark purple, but the body spots on these twelve corpses in front of them are all black.
Each corpse spot is as big as a fist, patterned, like a blooming black siren, giving people an eerie feeling.
“What …… is going on here?”
Gu Feng was filled with surprise.
Because under normal circumstances, corpse spots would appear about two hours after a person’s death, but these twelve corpses, which had been parked in the cold storage for up to thirty hours, it was reasonable to say that the corpse spots should have appeared a long time ago.
“My guess is that it should be related to the temperature of the cold storage. The cold storage’s temperature was so low that it solidified the blood, so it caused the corpse spots to not appear on their bodies before.”Ye Qiu said.
“That’s not right, by the time we found these dead people, they had already been dead for more than twelve hours, normally, corpse spots should have appeared on them by then.”
Hearing Gu Feng’s words, Ye Qiu frowned.
Yes, why didn’t the corpse spots appear before?
Just then, a foul odour hit his nostrils.
Yang Qi vomited on the spot.
It wasn’t her fault, the main reason was that the stench was just too bad, it was even worse than rotten off stinky tofu, even Ye Qiu had a feeling of nausea and regurgitation.
Gu Feng shouted, “Brother Ye Qiu look, there are changes on the corpse.”
Ye Qiu raised his eyes and saw that within just a few seconds, the twelve corpses, from the neck down, had become pitch black, as if they had just been pulled out of a coal mine.
What made people feel weird was that these corpses did not turn black above their necks, but instead, strands of dark red lines appeared, densely covering their faces, crisscrossing their faces, looking hideous and horrifying.
Each of the corpses had their eyes open, their eyes filled with fear and dread, their hands clenched their fists in death, and their bodies were stiff.
It was as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died.
Hiss ……
Ye Qiu sucked in a mouthful of cold air, his face became unusually grave as he said, “As expected, they all died from poisoning.”
Gu Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Ye Qiu, do you know what kind of poison they were poisoned with?”
“I’ll take a look before I say anything.”
Ye Qiu came to the twelve corpses and carefully surveyed them, observing them repeatedly, and gradually, panic appeared on his face.
“This, how is this possible?”
Ye Qiu felt incredible.
“Brother Ye Qiu, what do you see?”Gu Feng was busy asking.
“The poison they have been hit by is very much like ……” Before Ye Qiu could finish his words, he suddenly saw Yang Qi reaching out her hand and preparing to touch the dead man, and let out a fierce shout, “Don’t touch it.”
Yang Qi was so scared that she shrunk her hand back and looked at Ye Qiu doubtfully.
Ye Qiu said in a condensed voice, “This poison on their bodies is very overbearing, if I’m not wrong, it should be the legendary Mandala’s Poison.”
“Mandala’s Poison?”
Gu Feng and Yang Qi looked at each other, this was the first time they had heard of it.
Ye Qiu said, “Mandragora was originally a very pretty flower, very similar in appearance to a rosebush, and its flowers contain toxins that, after refining, can be refined to produce a worldly strange poison called Mandragora’s Poison.”
“When this strange poison first enters the human body, it is colourless and tasteless, and only after a person dies will it emit a foul stench, just like them.”
Ye Qiu pointed at the corpses on the ground and continued, “Moreover, after being hit by the Mandala Poison, on the verge of death, one would have a hallucination and would see the most horrifying things in their life, thus these dead people all had their eyes wide open and their expressions of horror.”
“I heard that the Mandragora became completely extinct a few hundred years ago.”
“And how did these people get poisoned by the Mandragora?”
Ye Qiu followed and added, “And as far as I know, there is currently no medicine on the market to cure the poison of Mandragora.”
What!
Gu Feng and Yang Qi’s faces showed horror.
“These corpses were originally stored in a cold storage, because the temperature inside was extremely low, the toxin didn’t emanate from their bodies, and now after being exposed to the sunlight, the toxin has now completely erupted, and that’s why their bodies have turned black.”
Ye Qiu said, “Now their whole body, every inch of skin and every pore is filled with poison, once they are touched, they will be tainted with the poison of Mandala, by then it will be Hua Tuo in the world, I’m afraid that there is nothing that can be done about it.”
“Then what about these corpses? It can’t all be left here, can it?”Gu Feng asked.
Ye Qiu said, “Burn them all, then find a place and dig a deep pit to bury all the ashes.”
“It seems that this is the only way.”
Yang Qi said, “Doctor Ye, I still have a question.”
“Please speak.”
Yang Qi asked, “When does the poison of Mandragora usually show symptoms after a person dies?”
Ye Qiu replied, “Under normal circumstances, no more than four hours.”
“But when we found these victims, it had been more than twelve hours since they died, so why didn’t any symptoms appear on them at that time?”Yang Qi asked.
“I can’t answer you for the time being for the question you asked, because I don’t know the answer either.”Ye Qiu said, “If you want to figure out the answer, you have to go and see the scene to know.”
“Brother Ye Qiu, why don’t I take you to the scene?”Gu Feng said.
“Good.”
Ye Qiu agreed in a single breath, he also wanted to see, where exactly was the place where the Mandala Poison would appear?
“The crime site is about half an hour’s drive from here, let’s go there now.”Gu Feng drove the car, taking Ye Qiu and Yang Qi with him, and went straight to the crime scene.
Car.
Ye Qiu asked, “Have you investigated the family backgrounds and social relationships of these twelve victims?”
“It has been fully mapped out.”Yang Qi handed a folder to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu opened it and saw that it was full of information about the victims.
He quickly skimmed through it.
It was found that the twelve victims were all ordinary residents, all living inside a building, with good neighbourly relations and no enemies.
Ye Qiu was even more puzzled.
How could such ordinary residents contract a strange poison like the Mandrake?
Half an hour later.
The car stopped.
Gu Feng said, “We are here.”
When Ye Qiu got off the car, he saw a river, and on the side of the river, there was a five-story residential house.
Gu Feng pointed at the residential house and said, “That’s where the crime happened.”
Even if he didn’t remind him, Ye Qiu could see it, as there was a cordon drawn outside the residential house, and a few uniformed civilian police officers were on duty.
“Go, go over and take a look.”
Ye Qiu just arrived in front of the private house, a coldness hit his whole body, and all of a sudden, he couldn’t help but shiver and frowned, “What a heavy Yin Qi!”
