A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys: the patient who had once purchased the deadly herb, the Heartbreak Grass, had mysteriously died in a bizarre manner!
This sudden and tragic news left everyone stunned and bewildered.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Qiu felt an urgent sense of dread and rushed to the scene of the incident at lightning speed.
As she stepped through the door of the deceased's home, what she saw made her gasp in horror—the entire house was in disarray, as if it had been swept away by a ferocious storm.
The body lying on the floor was a gruesome sight, its condition beyond imagination.
The deceased's face was as dark as a pot bottom, twisted in a terrifying grimace; his mouth was wide open, with white foam continuously bubbling out, as if he had endured extreme agony.
After a meticulous examination and investigation, all signs pointed to one conclusion: this unfortunate individual had undoubtedly died from poisoning.
However, what was perplexing was that further forensic analysis revealed that the cause of death was not the Heartbreak Grass, as initially suspected, but rather an extremely rare and insidiously potent poison known as "Yinming Powder"!
"Yinming Powder?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar and mysterious name, Ye Qiu couldn't help but furrow her brow tightly. Despite her years of medical practice and extensive knowledge, she had never encountered such a poison before.
"What on earth is going on?" she murmured to herself, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.
At the same time, Su Mu keenly sensed the gravity of the situation.
He dared not delay for even a moment and hurried to the police station, hoping to meet with Ye Qiu as soon as possible to discuss their response strategy together.
When they met, there was no time for pleasantries; they immediately delved into an in-depth analysis of the case.
They meticulously sorted through all the known clues, pondering and deliberating repeatedly. The more they thought, the more they felt that the situation was shrouded in mystery, filled with doubts.
"Now that the patient has passed away, any potential key clues have been cut off..." As this thought crossed Su Mu's mind, her mood grew heavier, and a hint of undeniable frustration appeared on her face.
"No! The clues are definitely not lost!" Ye Qiu's gaze was sharp, his expression calm as he analyzed methodically. "You must understand, the Ghostly Essence is an extremely rare poison! Ordinary people hardly ever come into contact with it.
Therefore, anyone who has access to this poison must have an intricate and inseparable connection to the Xuanming Sect.
This shows that our previous deductions about this matter were entirely correct; the mastermind behind this bizarre incident is undoubtedly the Xuanming Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but show concern and quickly asked, "If that's the case, what should we do next?
We can't just wait around like this!"
Ye Qiu furrowed his brow slightly, thinking for a moment before decisively responding, "Time is of the essence. The most urgent task now is to thoroughly investigate the source of the Ghostly Essence!
I plan to immediately contact some experts related to this matter and ask for their assistance in conducting a more in-depth study of this poison.
Meanwhile, you need to continue your efforts to trace the deceased's social circle and interpersonal relationships, striving to uncover new leads from there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two exchanged glances and nodded in mutual understanding before promptly going their separate ways. Su Mu took on the responsibility of investigating the deceased's social connections, tirelessly seeking information and leaving no potentially useful clue unexamined.
On the other hand, Ye Qiu wasted no time in reaching out to various experts and scholars, inviting them to collaborate on analyzing the components and origins of the Ghostly Essence.
At that moment, a faint aura of conspiracy quietly spread through the air, like a heavy mist that enveloped the entire Qingyun Town.
Both Su Mu and Ye Qiu could clearly sense that they were inching closer to the truth hidden behind layers of fog, yet at the same time, they were unwittingly stepping toward an unprecedented and immense danger...
Dragging his weary body, Su Mu slowly pushed open the door to his home. Once inside, he collapsed onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, his mood exceptionally heavy.
The bizarre death of a patient at the hospital today weighed down on him like a massive mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
After conducting thorough investigations and deep reflections, he gradually realized that this was far from an ordinary medical accident; it likely concealed a vast and intricate conspiracy behind it.
As he learned more about the situation, Su Mu felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders grow heavier.
He understood that if he could not quickly uncover the truth and identify the mastermind behind it all, not only would he be unable to ensure the safety of himself and his family, but more innocent people would also be implicated and might even face dire consequences.
Thinking of this made Su Mu anxious, but at that moment, he had no clue where to begin his investigation.
Just as he was furrowing his brow in distress and deep thought, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind—he remembered the divination techniques he hadn’t used in a long time.
This mysterious and ancient skill had accompanied him through many difficult times; perhaps it could guide him through this predicament as well.
With that thought in mind, Su Mu hurriedly got up and rummaged for the set of ancient coins and tortoise shells that had gathered dust for years.
Once everything was prepared, Su Mu took a deep breath to calm the turmoil within him. He then closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to perform the divination with complete concentration.
He gently tossed the three copper coins into the air, allowing them to fall freely. Then, based on the combination of heads and tails, he etched corresponding symbols onto the turtle shell.
After repeating this process multiple times, a complex pattern formed before him, woven from the eight trigrams: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui.
Su Mu stared intently at this trigram arrangement, not daring to relax for even a moment, fearful of missing any subtle changes.
As time passed, the initially vague trigrams gradually became clearer.
Through interpreting the positions and interrelations of each trigram, Su Mu finally gained a preliminary understanding of the entire event's outline.
However, this result did not bring him any relief.
For according to the trigrams, the mastermind behind this incident possessed an incredibly powerful force and had remained hidden in the shadows, like a deadly snake lurking in dark corners, quietly waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Faced with such a terrifying opponent, Su Mu felt a chill wash over him. Yet at the same time, it strengthened his resolve to fight back to the end.
Even more shocking was that within the enigmatic trigrams appeared a symbol representing "death"!
This undoubtedly cast a heavy shadow over the entire situation, as if foretelling an unprecedented crisis was quietly approaching.
Seeing this, Su Mu's heart jolted violently, and a wave of cold surged up his spine.
He knew all too well that in the face of such ominous signs, he must be doubly cautious and vigilant.
Without hesitation, he conveyed the astonishing results of the divination to Ye Qiu.
Although Ye Qiu was not an expert in divination, his keen insight and years of accumulated experience allowed him to clearly perceive that the situation had reached a critically severe point.
His face darkened like water, brows furrowed tightly together, and he spoke with a heavy tone, "Given the current circumstances, we must accelerate our investigation process. Time is of the essence; we cannot afford any delays!"
Immediately, he decisively stated that he would further enhance the deployment of police forces, dedicating all efforts to find a key breakthrough in the case as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu nodded resolutely and replied firmly, "Rest assured, I will do everything in my power! I will utilize my expertise in divination to seek out new clues. At the same time, I will secretly protect those who may be threatened, ensuring their safety."
After careful consideration, the two once again discussed and finalized their subsequent action plan.
It was ultimately decided that Su Mu would fully leverage his unique advantages in divination to continuously explore and seek more clues; meanwhile, Ye Qiu would lead the police force as always, starting from conventional investigative methods to delve deeper into the source of the Phantom Mist and uncover who was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
At this moment, a heavy gloom hung like an invisible net over Qingyun Town, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.
The fierce clash between justice and evil was already poised like an arrow on the string, ready to erupt at any moment...
