Chapter 602: The Truth Is Revealed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the poisoned woman became pregnant, the Gu insect would be transferred from the woman’s body to the child’s body, further poisoning the mother and child. When the fetus in the womb grew bigger, the poison would spread even more. In the end, the child in her stomach would directly develop into a poisonous fetus, causing one corpse with two lives.
Moreover, the time when the Withered Bones poison takes effect is usually when the fetus was around five months old. At this time, the fetus would be in its embryonic form. Once the fetus died, both mother and child would die.
Judge Wu sat in the car, and after hearing Gu Qingxue’s words, he broke out in a cold sweat. “There’s actually such a vicious poison in this world?”
For a woman, it was a very happy thing to have a new life in her stomach. However, once one was poisoned, the fetus in the womb would become a death talisman. How terrifying was that!
Gu Qingxue’s expression was cold. How could she not feel that the person who had poisoned Beauty Yin had ulterior motives? She cast her gaze into the distance and said in a leisurely tone, “I guess that even on the day of Beauty Yin’s death, she didn’t realize that she wasn’t actually poisoned that day. She was pregnant with a poisoned fetus from the beginning.”
As she thought about this, Gu Qingxue felt that her father’s death was unjust.
At that time, Beauty Yin’s fetus was taken care of by her father. Her father was a scapegoat from the beginning. He was only waiting for the miscarriage. No matter how meticulously her father took care of Beauty Yin, she would still die.
After all, no one would have thought that the child in Beauty Yin’s stomach could not be saved from the very beginning.
“Isn’t master’s medical skills very high? He has been taking care of beauty Yin’s fetus all this time. How could he not have noticed that beauty Yin was poisoned?” Qin Yun asked in disbelief after listening to the conversation between the two of them in shock.
“The poison of a Gu Worm is the hardest to be detected. It was like the Gu Worm that Beauty Yin was infected with. Before it acted up, it was always lurking in her and the fetus’ bodies, and it was not easy to detect. Once it acted up, it would be ferocious enough to kill a person in an instant. Even if they discovered it later, the poison would enter the bone marrow and it would be difficult to save the person. At that time, everyone linked the death of beauty
Yin and the Dragon fetus to Gu Ye, but no one thought that it was actually a Gu Worm.” Judge Wu could not help but recall the time when Gu Ye had died, and his eyes were filled with tears.
For a moment, the three people fell into silence.
“Fortunately, the truth is out. When I return, I will find His Majesty to explain this matter and have him prove my father’s innocence. I will let the world know that my father is not the murderer of the sick.” Gu Qingxue’s gaze was firm as she spoke.
However, Judge Wu’s eyes were filled with unconcealable worry. He looked at Gu Qingxue.”What happened after that? Your father’s grievances have indeed been redressed, but how are we going to catch the culprit? We don’t know when this poison was placed in Beauty Yin’s body. We have no chance of finding the real murderer and finding out the truth.”
“Judge Wu, there’s always a way out. What we can’t do now might not be impossible in the future. Just like before, we didn’t think that we could successfully prove my father’s innocence, right? And now, we’ve done it.
There’s still a long way to go, and we’ll have plenty of opportunities.” Gu Qingxue’s face was filled with confidence, and Judge Wu could not help but believe her words..
