Chapter 1257 Discovering Clues

Just as Freya couldn't figure it out, the door of the mortuary suddenly opened, and a man also wearing a white coat appeared in front of her. But when he saw that there was someone inside, his first reaction was to run.

Freya felt something was wrong. If he was a duty staff member, why was he running?

So, this person's purpose for being here was not pure.

Freya quickly chased after him. The other person was obviously an expert and was very familiar with this place. He easily avoided the patrolling guards and soon left the mortuary.

Freya followed closely behind. When the other person was about to climb over the wall and leave, she shot out a silver needle from her hand, which directly hit the other person's calf.

The other person felt the pain, and due to the effect of the silver needle, he lost his strength and hung on the wall.

At this time, Freya clearly saw a cold light flash. She squinted her eyes and tilted her body to barely avoid it.

The other person didn't give up and shot out three more silver needles. After Freya avoided them one by one, the other person took the opportunity to escape.

Freya didn't plan to chase after him. Instead, she went to a tree and pulled out the silver needle that had been stuck into the tree trunk.

Upon careful measurement, it was actually as long as the middle finger.

It seemed that this person was also an expert in using silver needles.

After putting away the silver needle, Freya suddenly thought of something and rushed back to the mortuary in a hurry.

However, her guess was right. Mr. Ouyang's body was gone!

Damn it, she had fallen into the enemy's scheme of luring the tiger away from the mountain!

Just as Freya was about to leave, her gaze fell on the secretary's body beside her.

Why did the other person only take away Mr. Ouyang's body and not the secretary's?

Was it possible that Mr. Ouyang was hiding some secret and the murderer urgently needed to destroy the evidence?

Or was it that the murderer didn't have time to take away both bodies, so he took away Mr. Ouyang first?

Freya became more and more confused about what the other person was trying to do. What on earth did they want?

At this time, there was movement outside the door again.

It seemed that the previous fight had attracted the patrolling guards.

Worried about being exposed, Freya lay in the ice coffin. Just then, the door was opened, and three patrolling guards rushed in.

They searched briefly and, after confirming that there were no other people around, the guards retreated.

After all, it was a mortuary. Who would want to stay in such a creepy place for long?

As soon as the people left, Freya climbed out of the ice coffin.

Although she had only lain in it for a few minutes, the temperature inside made her shiver with cold.

Lying in a coffin that a dead person had been in wasn't scary. After all, when she was studying medicine, she had even slept in a mortuary for a week and had dissected bodies. Such a place couldn't scare her.

With her hands resting on the edge of the ice coffin, Freya felt a sharp pain on her hands. She turned her head to look at her palm and unexpectedly found a silver needle.

It was just like the silver needle used by the mysterious person earlier, as long as the middle finger.

What was going on?

Why was there a silver needle in the ice coffin?

Freya searched the entire ice coffin and only found this one.

Could it be that the body thief accidentally dropped it when carrying the body?

Freya also examined the secretary's ice coffin but found nothing.

However, when she squatted down, her eyes met the secretary's forehead, and she unexpectedly found a needle hole.

Freya was shocked by this discovery. She leaned closer to take a closer look and confirmed that it was indeed a needle hole.

She parted the secretary's hair and could faintly see a small section of the needle head protruding from the forehead.

Taking out a small knife from her body, Freya shaved off the surrounding hair and pulled out a long needle from the top of the secretary's head, which was exactly the same as the one she had just found.

No wonder she hadn't noticed it. The needle hole was hidden in such a secret place.

Freya looked at the blackened silver needle, then put it into a sample bag, closed the ice coffin, and quickly left the mortuary.

There was no doubt that this silver needle was poisoned.

This was the Yelü Palace, not Solterra, so she couldn't just barge into the medical room.

Desperate to verify the toxicity of the silver needle, after thinking it over, Freya could only go to Yelü An's residence and ask him to help.

At this moment, Bradley and Yelü An were still discussing the murderer's motives. When they saw Freya appear, both of them were a bit surprised.

"Freya, why are you here?"

Bradley didn't expect that Freya would find this place.

Freya looked at the man and said, "I just went to the mortuary to look for clues. Suddenly, someone else broke in. When I fought with him, he used long needles to attack me and then took the opportunity to escape. When I rushed back, Mr. Ouyang's body was already gone."

"What? Mr. Ouyang is missing?"

Yelü An's face was filled with shock.

Freya nodded. "They lured me away and stole the body. But I accidentally discovered the real cause of the secretary's death."

After saying that, she took out the sample bag and said in a solemn voice, "It's this kind of long needle. I found it on the secretary's forehead."

Yelü An took the sample bag and took a look. The long needle was blackened, clearly contaminated with poison.

"I'll send the silver needle for testing right away and will tell you as soon as there's a result."

Originally, they had no clues at all. But then Freya showed up with clues. If they could determine the real cause of Mr. Ouyang's death in this way, it wouldn't be difficult to find the real murderer.

"Okay, please, Boss Xue, do it as soon as possible."

Yelü An nodded and quickly set about handling this matter.

As for the disappearance of Mr. Ouyang's body, the news soon reached Yelü Qi's ears.

"You useless fools! You can't even keep an eye on a dead person. What's the use of me keeping you?"

Yelü Qi couldn't stand these successive blows. Holding his chest, his face turned pale, and it was obvious that his heart disease had flared up again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We've already sent people out to search, and there will be news soon." The guard knelt on the ground and said.

"Search! Dig three feet into the ground and find him for me. If you can't find him, you'll all be punished according to the law!"

"Yes."

As soon as the guard left, Yelü Qi sat in his seat and angrily swept the tea set on the table to the ground.

Who was it?

Who on earth was causing trouble?

He called in the person in charge of the mortuary to question him. The person in charge had a stomachache and was in the toilet at that time, so he had no idea what had happened in the mortuary.

Yelü Qi went to check the surveillance and unexpectedly found a familiar figure.

Even though the person was wearing a white coat and a mask to cover his face, he still recognized at a glance that the person looked somewhat similar to Freya.

"Attendants!"

Yelü Qi called the guards again and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and invite Her Highness of Solterra and Your Majesty of Solterra over. Tell them I have something important to discuss with them."

...

While Freya and Bradley were waiting for the test results, Yelü Qi's people suddenly came to summon them.

Even without being told the purpose, Freya knew that it must be that her figure had been captured by the camera. Yelü Qi summoning them was probably to hold them accountable.

When the two of them arrived, Yelü Qi was still staring at the surveillance video.

Out of the corner of her eye, Freya glanced over and clearly saw her own afterimage.

At that time, she had been chasing the mysterious person and also had to avoid the patrolling guards, so she hadn't paid much attention to the position of the camera. So, the whole process was filmed, and her figure could be seen all the way.
