Chapter 1044 Unraveling the Clues

On the other hand, if Ling Tian's enemies knew that he had several incredibly powerful teachers, they would be more cautious of him and might even resort to more drastic measures to deal with him.

In such a situation, playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger was the best protection for Ling Tian.

Feng Jinglong naturally did not know the relationship between Gu Tianxi and Ling Tian. At most, he thought that Ling Tian had treated Gu Tianxi or his family and friends for an illness.

However, Gu Tianxi had repeatedly emphasized on the phone that Ling Tian was a doctor with extremely high medical skills and that he must not neglect him. Therefore, Feng Jinglong did not skimp.

Especially now, Feng Jinglong was facing a life-threatening situation. If he truly became an imbecile, what would be the difference from being dead? Of course, he was willing to pay anything to save his life.

"Alright, Mr. Feng, then we will try to find that蛊虫 (gu worm) and figure out how it got close to you."

Ling Tian closed his eyes. At this moment, he activated his Celestial Eye divine ability, and his vision instantly covered the entire house.

Every nook and cranny of the house, even the insects and rats in the sewers, appeared in Ling Tian's sight.

This data was rapidly processed in Ling Tian's mind, but after searching for a long time, Ling Tian did not find what he was looking for. It was clear that the worm was not in the room.

Ling Tian sniffed again. The air was filled with a rich incense scent and a faint fragrance of herbs.

Based on Ling Tian's medical skills and his knowledge of Chinese medicinal materials, Ling Tian knew that these incense sticks and herbal packs had very good mosquito repellent effects.

This scent had a very good repelling effect on the 失心蛊 (Shi Xin Gu).

After Ling Tian calmed down, his ears also picked up some faint sounds, which were the ultrasonic waves emitted by the mosquito repellent devices.

The frequency of ultrasonic waves was imperceptible to ordinary people, but what kind of person was Ling Tian? His body had long been strengthened, and his six senses far surpassed those of ordinary people. He knew very well that these ultrasonic waves had a significant impact on most insects, preventing them from approaching the villa.

"Mr. Feng, I've considered it. With the mosquito repellent measures in your villa, that蛊虫 (gu worm) couldn't have flown here to bite you.

It's highly likely that the蛊虫 (gu worm) bit you somewhere else, such as outdoors.

Think back, in the days leading up to your illness, did you go outdoors to places with insufficient protection..."

Hearing Ling Tian's words, Feng Jinglong fell into thought. At this moment, his eldest son, Feng Jifei, suddenly spoke.

"Dr. Ling Tian, there's a small garden in the backyard with many flowers and plants, all of which my father personally tends to.

These flowers and plants require insects for pollination, so there are no ultrasonic insect repellent devices installed there, nor are there any insect repellent herbal packs.

Although there are some plants like wisteria planted around the garden that can repel mosquitoes and insects, they cannot completely prevent insects from flying in!

My father spends an hour or two there every morning and afternoon, drinking tea and tending to the flowers and plants..."

"Good, take me there. That place has a high probability of being the source!"

Thus, Feng Jinglong, his son, and Ling Tian, accompanied by several bodyguards, arrived at the small garden in the backyard.

Ling Tian saw that this garden covered an area of over 300 square meters. The roof was a retractable glass design, which could shield against heavy rain and automatically adjust the light when the sun was intense.

However, this garden was not fully enclosed. There were rows of hollow ventilation holes at the top of the garden's glass walls.

With Ling Tian's eyesight, he could see small insects flying among the flowers.

Ling Tian carefully observed the small garden and noticed two gardeners and two maids standing respectfully to the side, ready to receive any commands from Mr. Feng.

Ling Tian pointed at the four of them: "Do these people usually accompany the master here?"

Old Mr. Feng nodded.

"Those two gardeners have been working here for decades and are here every day to help me take care of these flowers and plants.

As for those two maids, they have also been working in the house for many years and are absolutely reliable. I treat them like family..."

Feng Jinglong and his son were a little nervous. They felt that Ling Tian might suspect these people of being the culprits, but they did not want to believe this outcome.

The Feng family treated their servants very well, and many servants had served the Feng family for generations. Although they were engaged in service work, their earnings were no less than those of many multinational corporation management personnel.

Moreover, the Feng family were not the kind of people who were harsh on their subordinates, except for the third young master, Feng Jiteng.

"Have them come over one by one. I'll examine them!"

So, in front of the master, right there in the garden, Ling Tian sat down beside a precious golden nanmu tea table and began to examine each of them. Ling Tian asked some questions, tested their reactions, and then took their pulses and used his Celestial Eye divine ability to examine their brains.

After the examination was finished, Ling Tian waved his hand and told the Feng family to send these people away.

"How is it, Mr. Ling Tian, did you find anything?" Feng Jifei asked eagerly.

"These four people accompany Mr. Feng in the garden every day, but they show no symptoms of poisoning or symptoms of senile dementia.

This indicates that the attack of that蛊虫 (gu worm) was targeted!"

"I don't understand what you mean?" The Feng father and son were confused.

"Let me put it this way, that蛊虫 (gu worm) did not bite these four people, but it specifically bit Mr. Feng. This means that there is something on Mr. Feng that attracts the蛊虫 (gu worm).

As for insects, they transmit information and perceive the world through pheromones, which, in more common terms, are various scents.

The sensory organs of insects can keenly detect certain scent molecules in the air, meaning that there must be something on Mr. Feng that attracts that蛊虫 (gu worm)!"

Ling Tian looked up at the now extremely astonished Mr. Feng and examined him up and down.

"Old sir, I have an idea. Go and change your clothes now. Bring the clothes and accessories you usually wear when you come to the garden, I need to examine them."

"Okay."

The old gentleman quickly went back to change. More than twenty minutes later, the Feng father and son arrived again, with two servants behind them holding two trays. One tray contained some clothes, and the other tray contained some accessories.

These accessories included the string of precious Buddha beads that Mr. Feng Jinglong wore around his neck, the bracelets on his hands, and a Buddha amulet on his chest.
