Chapter 590 - Find out the Culprit (1/2)

The culprit had seen her teacher’s acupuncture and was able to imitate it exactly. Without a decade or so of training, it was impossible to do that.

Although she was taught by her teacher personally, now she just had a general understanding of her teacher’s acupuncture.

Compared with her teacher’s superb needle-controlling skills, she had just learned a little bit of them.

At the thought that there was such a person hiding in the isolated camp, Lin Mengya could not help feeling creepy, for fear that this person would stir up any other trouble.

Since Lin Mengya decided to investigate it, she would certainly choose the lowest-profile method, which was also the most suitable method at the moment.

Xiu played her role in time. No one knew how Xiu, who was still a girl, learned how to calm down the frightened babies.

Nevertheless, her innocent and lovely little face played a big role.

Apart from anything else, her sweet smile at the mothers was enough to convince countless people of what she said.

At this point, even Lin Mengya was impressed by her.

Lin Mengya sneaked into the empty tent alone. In fact, everything brought into the isolated camp by each person had been checked by her.

But at that time, she just focused on checking the poison and did not check the other things carefully.

Since Madam Wu said that she felt a tingle in her head when she just woke up, it was very likely that this person hid the needles in the tent.

After all, her teacher’s acupuncture required the silver needles to be longer than ordinary ones.

Moreover, they should be made of special materials. Otherwise, they would not have such an incredible effect.

Therefore, someone could not carry this kind of needles with him all the time. For example, she usually kept her needles in a special wooden box.

When she went out, she would put them in the package instead of carrying them with her.

This kind of needles were very strange. If someone carried them for more than a period of time, they would function much worse.

Lin Mengya had done some research on this.

Perhaps it was because the materials used to make this kind of silver needle contained a certain magnetism. However, the human body itself was a magnetic field.

Therefore, if they were not placed properly in a wooden box, they would be slowly neutralized by the magnetic field of the human body.

At that time, the silver needles would be useless.

Moreover, her teacher said that the materials used to make the silver needles were very difficult to find. The set of needles in her hands were made by her teacher after he spent more than ten years collecting all the materials.

Normally speaking, if someone had such a set of needles, he would definitely regard it as a treasure.

Lin Mengya tried her best to search the tent as quietly as possible.

Except for Madam Wu’s messy bed, the others piled up their things at the head of their beds.

Lin Mengya looked around and found that most of their things were clothes or babies’ stuff.

She did not see anything like silver needles.

Could it be that the culprit was not in this tent, but in another tent? Or could the culprit be someone who could get in and out of this tent freely?

To be honest, if that was the case, it would be even more difficult for her to find out the culprit.

Moreover, it would take a long time for her to complete such a large-scale investigation by herself.

However, once these women were alarmed, the victims could only be innocent people.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Mengya still decided to check over the tent carefully again.

If she still could not find any clue, she would have to think of other ways, no matter how unwilling she was.

Lin Mengya searched carefully and even almost checked each straw that was used to make beds.

Her worries were increasing every moment.

Just when she was a little upset and intended to give up, she felt her hand was pricked by something in the bedding she had just lifted.

In an instant, a bright red drop of blood seeped out from her fair and delicate finger.

Lin Mengya subconsciously put her finger into her mouth and sucked it gently, while glancing at the culprit pricking her finger.

It was a very sharp silver needle.

If it weren’t for the fact that her hand had been pricked, she probably wouldn’t have been able to discover it so easily.

At the thought that she almost missed such an important clue, Lin Mengya couldn’t help knocking her head.

She withdrew it carefully. No wonder she didn’t see it just now, because it was hidden in the bedding.

If she hadn’t lifted the bedding, the silver needle probably wouldn’t have fallen out of the bedding by chance, because it was pricked in the soft straws. Lin Mengya took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wrapped up the silver needle with it.

She had just lifted the corners of her mouth because of finding out the culprit. However, when she noticed the owner of the bed, she froze on the spot.

Wasn’t it…

Her face changed unpredictably and finally darkened.

However, Lin Mengya did not lose her temper immediately. Instead, she put the handkerchief in her bosom and left quietly.

She was so worried that she didn’t even hear the greetings of the women who came to help.

She returned to her tent with a sullen face and didn’t meet anyone but Xiu and Baili Rui during the day.
