Chapter 64: Murder

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Suisui stopped in her tracks. Lu Ze did the same.

She and Lu Ze were both sensitive to the smell of blood! If she could smell it, Lu Ze naturally wouldn’t miss it!

However, weren’t they a little too lucky?!

Although she was a little confused, she didn’t stop walking. She and Lu Ze began to search the grassland.

“Come here.”

The two of them split up to search. Not long after, Lu Ze found something.

Lin Suisui rushed over and saw a piece of freshly dug soil. Although there was some concealment, because it was too sloppy, she could still tell that this pasture had been dug.

Most importantly, the grass nearby was stained with blood that hadn’t completely dried.

Lu Ze found a withered branch. He dug up the soil that had yet to flatten. The thick smell of blood below instantly assaulted their noses, as if a seal had been lifted. Lin Suisui subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, but her eyes didn’t move away from Lu Ze’s branch.

“Stay away.” Lu Ze stopped what he was doing and looked up to instruct Lin Suisui in a low voice.

It was obvious that the person buried below wasn’t a living person. Moreover, the smell of blood was so strong, so the scene would probably be gory, and he didn’t want Lin Suisui to be frightened.

Lin Suisui didn’t force herself. She agreed obediently and took a few steps back before turning around. She stopped staring at that place.

After settling Lin Suisui down, Lu Ze continued to speed up. Before long, he removed a new layer of soil and a naked female corpse was revealed.

And the reason they could smell blood almost a hundred steps away from where they were standing was that the scene in front of him was too terrifying and gory—

Not only had the woman’s clothes been stripped, but even her skin was missing.

The reason he could tell that this was a female corpse was mainly that her limbs looked slender and feminine, unlike a man’s!

After seeing this scene, Lu Ze was to be glad that Lin Suisui had turned around. Otherwise, a little girl like her would probably have nightmares!

“Let’s go!” Lu Ze filled in the soil again. Then, he stood up and walked to Lin Suisui’s side. He said to her, “I’ve already dealt with it.”

“Who is it?” Lin Suisui followed beside Lu Ze and asked him in a low voice, “Who’s buried there?!”

“I don’t know.” Lu Ze shook his head. “From the figure, it’s probably a woman, but I don’t know who it is.”

Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about it. Hearing Lu Ze’s words, she subconsciously asked, “Have you seen that person before?!” After all, there were many people in the refugee camp, so it was normal that he hadn’t seen the person before.

“No, it’s because this woman was skinned!” Lu Ze stopped in his tracks and seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying to Lin Suisui, “I can only tell from her figure that she’s a woman. She was probably a young woman.”

Although Lu Ze said it very simply and had tried his best to weaken the blow, Lin Suisui still felt a chill run down her spine and her face turned pale.

“Don’t be afraid.” Lu Ze naturally saw Lin Suisui’s nervousness. He quickly reached out to support Lin Suisui, who was still a little flustered.

“In the north, there are barbarians that worship shamans. In their clan, shamans can control life and death. They are very powerful and influential!

The reason I knew about this barbarian clan was that in my memory, in order to seek a cure for a seriously burned woman, I learned that in the northern region, shamans would teach their subordinates a secret technique. They would take the skin of living people and use them as a disguise. This way, it would be more convenient to carry out missions like assassination and spying without anyone knowing!

Because this technique was kept a secret, only the Wolf Guards under every shaman priest were qualified to learn it.

Although I wanted to study it, I had never found a way to study it. In the end, I could only give up.

From what you said today, I suspect that someone used this woman’s identity to infiltrate the refugee camp.”

With her previous interactions with Lu Ze, Lin Suisui couldn’t be bothered to hide anything anymore. She simply told Lu Ze her guess.

“How strange. This is just an ordinary refugee camp. Why are there suddenly so many incidents?! Why are the northern barbarians appearing here wave after wave?!”

As Lin Suisui spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and continued to mutter to Lu Ze, “Previously, they wanted to sell us refugees to be slaves outside the border. Now, even the Wolf Guards beside the shaman have come out!”

What treasure does our refugee camp have that’s worth them putting in so much effort?!”

“Perhaps Pei Qian knows about this, but he might not tell us directly.” Seeing that Lin Suisui had stopped, Lu Ze thought that she must have been frightened by the news just now. Without saying anything, he bent down and picked her up.

“You, you, put me down. Put me down…”

In a panic, Lin Suisui reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Ze’s neck. She spoke in a fierce manner, but her voice became softer and softer.

“At the speed you’re walking now, we won’t be able to eat the fish when we get back!” Lu Ze didn’t care about Lin Suisui’s struggle at all. He even shook Lin Suisui, who was in his arms, making her subconsciously hug his neck even tighter.

“Tsk, don’t worry, I won’t drop you! Despite how much meat you’ve eaten these past few days, why haven’t you gained any weight?!”

Seeing that Lin Suisui was no longer struggling pointlessly, Lu Ze naturally took larger steps.

His teasing made Lin Suisui feel embarrassed and angry. She secretly spat at him and simply turned around angrily to ignore him!

“We’ll only tell Pei Qian that we found the corpse. As for the shaman’s Wolf Guard, don’t let anyone else find out about it.”

Lu Ze knew when to stop. Seeing that Lin Suisui was really getting angry, he didn’t harp on this joke. Instead, he told Lin Suisui about the serious matter at hand.

“I know. We just need to give a small piece of information to Pei Qian! If we say too much, Pei Qian will definitely suspect us even more!” Lin Suisui nodded and agreed with Lu Ze’s suggestion.
