“I’ve heard a little about it. It’s said that the evil spirits in hell will put on human skin to disguise themselves. However, after some time, the human skin will decay. They paint their human skin into the appearance of a beautiful woman and let those who fall into their trap fall deeper and deeper until they die.”

As Pei Qian looked down at the female corpse on the wooden platform, he answered Lin Suisui’s question.

He didn’t follow in Du Yuanyi’s footsteps and ask questions that would obviously be mocked by Lin Suisui. Instead, he chose to stop at the right time.

Lin Suisui glanced at Pei Qian unhappily but didn’t argue too much about this small matter. She continued, “I suspect that the murderer has already changed into this woman’s skin and is living in the refugee camp we’re in under this woman’s identity.”

Lin Suisui was very certain.

Before Pei Qian and the others could question her, she continued, “Previously, when I was studying medicine with my mentor, my mentor once mentioned some strange things to me when he was a doctor without borders.

One of them was the face-changing technique.

According to him, in the barbarian tribes outside the northern border, the shaman priests they worshiped had mastered a strange technique that allowed them to change their faces and identities.

Her mentor was interested in this because he had treated a patient who was severely burned. He said that the patient was a woman. When her family asked him to treat her, she was only seventeen.

She was at the primer of youth, but she had to face the tragic fate of being disfigured.

Her mentor couldn’t bear to see it, so he wondered if he could find a way to restore her appearance. He became interested in the legend about the barbarians outside the northern region.”

“In that case, your mentor has mastered this strange technique?!” When Du Yuanyi heard this, he became even more interested in Lin Suisui’s mentor.

If someone really mastered this strange technique, then…

“Of course not.” Lin Suisui shook her head and replied straightforwardly, “My mentor said that in order to master this strange technique, he tried his best to blend in with the northern barbarians. However, he found nothing even after three years.

Because this strange technique was in the hands of the shaman priest!

The shaman wouldn’t spread this strange technique. Only the wolf guards, who protected him and were absolutely loyal to the priest, were qualified to practice this strange technique!

“My mentor tried his best, but he failed! In the end, he could only return empty-handed and go to the Southern Barbaric Land to find other ways.”

“Are you suspecting that a spy from the northern barbarians has sneaked into our refugee camp?!” Pei Qian was shrewd. Coupled with the information Lu Ze had revealed to him previously, he could guess what Lin Suisui meant.

“I’m just making a small guess based on the current situation! As for whether the information is valuable or not, I’ll have to ask you to decide yourself, Your Highness.”

However, there are still traces of herbs on this female corpse. Although they are very faint, I can still smell them. It’s probably the smell of wolf venom grass.”

Lin Suisui didn’t intend to hide anything about this.

Using her mentor as a ruse to answer this matter was the most reasonable explanation at the moment. She had already discussed this with Lu Ze.

It was too dangerous for that wolf guard to stay in the refugee camp. They had to find him as soon as possible!

“My mentor said that for this strange technique of the northern barbarians to work, the skin has to be completely peeled off. Therefore, they inject secret medicine through the gap when they peel the skin. This will make it easier to separate the skin!

And one of the ingredients was wolf poison grass.

Besides, if it wasn’t really useful in this aspect and the murder was just for the sake of money or revenge, why go through such trouble?!

Wouldn’t it better if the culprit secretly buried her on the spot?!”

“In that case, that person probably won’t be able to hide for long before continuing to harm others!” Du Yuanyi frowned. If Lin Suisui was right, this devil in human skin probably wouldn’t be able to hide for long before having to kill again!

After all, he didn’t have the means of that evil ghost. He couldn’t make that human skin last forever!

“Yes, because he has to find a new person to change his skin.” Lin Suisui nodded.

“You just said that this female corpse was cut from the back. Then, we just have to find people with new injuries in the refugee camp to confirm who the murderer is?!”

Du Yuanyi suddenly had a very good idea.

“What excuse will you use to investigate? How can you hide it from the murderer who sneaked into the refugee camp?! If you can’t hide it, a second corpse will probably appear!”

Pei Qian rejected Du Yuanyi’s suggestion without hesitation. “Because of this female corpse’s appearance last night, the entire refugee camp is already in a panic.

“If we investigate with great fanfare, it’ll terrify people even more. Things will worsen if we alarm the Wolf Guard hiding in the dark!”

“Actually, it’s not difficult for you to prevent that person from continuing to do evil. You just have to gather all the people in the refugee camp and prevent anyone from leaving until the investigation is over! I don’t believe that person can really do evil under our noses!”

Seeing that Pei Qian had rejected his suggestion, Du Yuanyi was naturally indignant and immediately suggested a solution.

This time, Pei Qian didn’t say anything, but Lu Ze, who had been standing beside Lin Suisui, interrupted, “Mr. Pei, you mean that the death of one or two refugees here is actually not a big deal, and that what’s important is finding the purpose of that Wolf Guard infiltrating the refugee camp?”

If you arrange for a big investigation now, the murderer will definitely be exposed. Then, there’s naturally no need for him to continue staying!

If he escapes in advance, the investigation will only help us find out the true identity of the female corpse in front of us!”

“But what if things aren’t as you guessed?! Perhaps there was a conflict between the refugees in the refugee camp, and one of them accidentally committed manslaughter?!

After all, this is not impossible! I remember that at the end of last year, the court investigated a similar case.

For that case, the motive was envy!”

Du Yuanyi’s mind was in a mess.

It wasn’t only because of the murder case he had encountered as soon as he arrived, but because he felt flustered about losing control!
