Chapter 223: Inquiry
The man didn't go to any house or hotel in the town, but kept walking along the outskirts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gu Bainiang and Fang Zhaofan were in case of fraud, so the two waited for him to walk out of a distance before continuing to follow.
Not long after, the man went uphill along a small road, up the hill.
By this time, it was already dark.
They followed unhurriedly, and as soon as he looked back, they hid in the grass or behind trees. Since they didn't make any noise and hid very quickly, he didn't spot them along the way.
Once he had crossed the mountain, the man walked quickly down the path.
At this time, Gu Bainiang and Fang Zhaofan could find that there was a village at the foot of the mountain, and some houses were still lit up.
According to the shopkeeper's map, this small village should be Cuiteng Village.
According to the shopkeeper, Cuiteng Village is the place with the fewest dispensing points in Qianfeng County, and it is also the most remote place with the worst living conditions of residents.
To the surprise of Gu Bainiang and Fang Zhaofan, the man did not walk towards Cuiteng Village, but walked along a mountain road on the side of Cuiteng Village to a mountain peak next to him.
"What is this person doing walking towards the mountain peak?" Fang Zhaofan said softly to Gu Bainiang.
During the day, when they were resting at the hotel, they looked this way, and because the mountain was so high, they could see it at a glance. It's a place that gets steeper and steeper the way you go, and it stands to reason that such a place is not suitable for people to live in.
"Let's take a look. Gu Eighteen Niang said.
Fang Zhaofan nodded.
With a little force, the two of them skimmed through the trees on the cliff and followed him at great speed.
When he came to a stone cliff, the man grabbed a thick rope that had been prepared with both hands and climbed up little by little.
Judging from the sheer sheer sheer of the cliff, it would not have been possible for ordinary people to climb it, but the man had apparently climbed up and down the cliff a lot, so he climbed extremely fast, and his movements seemed to be as nimble as a monkey climbing a tree.
Gu Bainiang was analyzing in her heart while tracking.
According to the shopkeeper, the man he saw last year was about 25-30 years old, tall and serious, while the man in front of him was about 20 years old, of medium height, with clear eyebrows, and should not be the same person.
However, the man's face suddenly changed when he saw her prescription, and that alone was enough to make her suspicious of him, so she decided to find a way to find out what was going on from him first.
The man climbed up the cliff until he stopped at a large cliff and walked briskly to a small cabin on the cliff with the medicine box.
He had just stepped into the cabin, and as he was about to close the door, he immediately felt a shackle around his neck and hands, and a scimitar dangled in front of his eyes.
It was Fang Zhaofan who shackled him, and it was Gu Eighteen Niang who stood in front of him with a knife.
When he saw it, he panicked and hurriedly said, "I didn't kill anyone." β
"I'm not sure you've killed someone. Gu Eighteen Niang said, and glanced at Fang Zhaofan.
Fang Zhaofan immediately tightened his neck a few points, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with that prescription? β
"I've only heard people talk about it. β
"Who said it, and when?" Gu Bainiang immediately asked.
The man was a little distracted.
"You're clearly lying. Gu Bainiang said, and with a bang, she put the Sun and Moon Meteor Knife on his neck.
With such a sharp knife, I am afraid that as long as she exerts a little force, his head will be broken, he trembled with fright, and said, "Okay, I said, I said." β
Gu Bainiang put away the knife and escorted him into the room with Fang Zhaofan, and sat down on the Luohan bed near the window.
Fang Zhaofan's hands were still shackled to him.
He knew that there was no hope of escaping at this time, so he honestly said, "I can't hide it, this prescription was created by my master, but my master passed away last spring. β
"How did you die?" Gu Bainiang asked calmly.
The man thought for a moment before he said, "I didn't want to tell anyone about this, are you investigating the case or are you looking for this kind of medicine?"
"Both. Your master, did you prescribe this medicine to anyone last year or before last year?What kind of person is your master?" asked Gu Bainiang.
Because this prescription involves several extremely rare medicinal materials, ordinary people and even ordinary pharmacies cannot find them at all, which means that the person who can prepare this prescription is not only well versed in pharmacology, but also has gone around looking for some rare medicinal materials.
The man looked at them by the light and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the people of the 'Sun and Moon Meteor Knife' faction. Fang Zhaofan replied.
When he heard this, he said, "This should have nothing to do with you. β
Seems reluctant to expose too much.
Even though he believed they had a mission, he didn't want to say anything more about the people he felt had nothing to do with the case.
"We are on orders. Gu Banniang said, and then continued: "Don't worry, we are not investigating this to do bad things." Let's put it this way - someone in the capital died because they were sprayed with powder from this prescription in their nostrils, so we were ordered to investigate the case. If you cooperate, you will be doing a great deed, and you may even get a big reward. β
"What is not rewarded, it doesn't mean much to me. He said.
He has always lived in the mountains, and he has no intention of living down the mountain, where he does not need much money at all.
Gu Bainiang had no choice but to change the topic and ask, "How did your master die?"
Regarding his master's death, he actually didn't want to remember it anymore, after all, the memory was too painful.
Gu Banniang saw that he was reluctant to say anything, so she said solemnly: "I promise you with the prestige and style of the 'Sun Moon Meteor Knife' faction that I will never take advantage of you, nor will we do anything unfavorable to you, we are just investigating one thing, since you have important information, please take a long-term view." β
The man thought for a long time before he said: "My name is Yin Heng, I was an orphan since I was a child, and it was my master who took me away from the beggars. β
He thought for a moment, then said, "Before he died, we lived on the opposite cliff called the Flying Cliff, and we were"
Yin Heng pointed to this other cliff not far from this cliff and said, "It was on that cliff that we built two huts there and lived there together for fifteen years. β
"Did your master make medicine there when he was alive?" asked Gu Banniang.
"Yes. β
"Okay, back to my previous questionβhow did your master die?" Gu Bainiang asked again.
