Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 633 Purple Mask

[Chapter 108]

The next day, Tie Hongyan and several of his men were discussing things in Aoqian Hall, and Wu Xunsheng also arrived. When they first met, Tie Hongyan asked him how he was feeling and suggested that he continue to rest. Wu Xunsheng said that he was fine and asked to discuss those things with everyone. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't show it and looked the same as before. Tie Hongyan didn't pay special attention to his expression, so he didn't think there was anything unusual.

Tie Hongyan took out both blankets and pointed at the older one, saying, "This blanket has been found. Although I don't know if it can help us find out what we want to find out, after I took it back yesterday, I took a closer look and did find a problem."

"What's the problem?" You Xiangming asked.

"Look at the upper right side of this blanket." Tie Hongyan said and pointed with his finger.

Everyone gathered together and looked carefully at where Tie Hongyan was pointing, and found a very small stain on the upper right side of the blanket.

Wu Xunsheng said: "What is this? It looks a bit like blood that has been dried for many days, but also a bit like that."

"Yes, if it is blood, the color seems wrong." You Xiangming said.

"I've asked someone to test it, and it's indeed blood, but the blood is poisonous." Tie Hongyan said.

You Xiangming was surprised and asked, "Could it be the blood vomited by the poisoned person?"

"I also thought that it might have flowed out from the mouth, but the person who examined it said no. She said the blood should have flowed out from the skin of the human hand." Tie Hongyan said.

"Will the skin on the hands of a poisoned person break?" You Xiangming guessed.

"The person who examined it said that it didn't look like blood from poisoning, but rather from a cut." Tie Hongyan said. "Could it be that the poison came from the cut?" You Xiangming asked.

"She said that judging from the bloodstains, the poison was not injected into the wound, but must have been ingested," Tie Hongyan replied.

"But, if that's the case, if a person has already been poisoned, why do we have to cut that person's hand? Can't this poison kill the person instantly, so it has to make a cut on the hand to work?" Wu Xunsheng said.

Another of Tie Hongyan's men said, "It's possible. Some poisoning methods are quite strange."

You Xiangming asked: "Young Patriarch, did the person who tested it tell you what kind of poison this is?"

Tie Hongyan said: "She said she had never seen the poison itself, but she had seen blood flowing from the wound of another person who died from the poison, but that was a long time ago."

"Young Patriarch, who are you looking for to test it?" You Xiangming asked.

"This person asked me to keep it a secret for her, and I agreed." Tie Hongyan said.

The person who examined the bloodstains on the blanket for Tie Hongyan was named Chu Muge in Tiecang Ting. She entered Tiecang Ting a few years ago and made a living by doing carpentry work. Very few people in Tiecang Ting knew what she did before.

In the years before she entered Tiecangting as a carpenter, she always wore a purple mask when traveling. She was an elusive "inspector" expert. She was not called by her current name. Few people knew her name at the time, and they all called her "Purple-faced Inspector". Many people are curious about why she has not appeared since a certain year. Most people think that she made enemies when she helped people solve cases as an inspector and was killed by her enemies, although they don't understand how the people who wanted to kill her found her. There are many versions of her later stories, all of which are just made up by people after dinner.
