Chapter 249: Village Survey
"Don't worry about it first," Li Le helped the woman up, "If you think about it carefully, what are the details that are missing?" ”
The woman thought about it carefully, suddenly thought of something, and said, "I always saw him secretly taking medicine behind his back, and when I asked, he was reluctant to tell me."
"Medicine ......" Li Le frowned, "It seems that this is an organized theft, and the real culprit behind the scenes must have more ruthless tricks." ”
"Sister Ah Le, if that's the case, I think this lady may be a threat, should we send someone to protect her?"
Li Le nodded, "Several people have already died in this case, and there can't be more accidents, so this matter will be handled by you." ”
"Good!" Xiao Tong nodded vigorously.
"Seeing that your complexion is not very good, let me check your pulse," Li Le turned to the woman and said.
The woman was a little stunned by her sudden concern, and handed her hand in a daze, and she carefully checked her pulse, and found nothing abnormal.
"You may be a little too much because of the recent events, your body is a little unbearable, I have arranged a place for you to live, you can rest for the time being, I will find out the truth for you and give you justice."
"Okay, thank you to County Lord Li for administering justice for the people's daughter." The woman had tears in her eyes.
"Where is your home? I wonder if we can go and investigate, so that we can find out the truth sooner and give you a clean slate. Li Le asked again.
"This is naturally possible," the woman told Li Le and the others where she lived, and after that, she suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Thank you County Lord Li for being willing to believe in the people's daughter, and also redress the grievances of the people's daughter's husband, Lanning is a blessing to have a county lord like you!" ”
"This is what I should do, don't be so polite, hurry up!" Li Le quickly stepped forward to help her up, and also sent someone to escort the woman back to the arranged accommodation.
Li Le packed some tools, and the three of them quickly set off for the woman's residence.
"It's very remote here, and it's a little gloomy," Shen Sheng walked to the edge of a latrine, and Shen Sheng subconsciously pinched his nose with his hand.
"This smells a little weird, cover your mouth and nose." Li Le sensed that something was wrong and immediately covered his mouth and nose.
"What's wrong with Sister Ah Le, isn't this just the taste of the toilet? What's the oddity? Xiao Tong also obeyed the order and quickly covered his mouth and nose, but he was still a little puzzled.
"There's a slight smell of herbs here, if I'm not mistaken, it's a chronic poisonous orchid," Li Le had long expected this to happen, and found that the backpack took out her homemade gas veil and handed it to the two.
"It's still Sister Ah Le's thoughtfulness." Xiao Tong quickly put on a gas veil.
"How did you expect such a thing as poison gas?" Shen Sheng knew that Li Le was a careful person, but he didn't expect her to be so expected.
"There is nothing difficult to guess, the deceased died of poisoning, and the woman's pulse was weak, I guess this is not because of the exhaustion that crushed the body, but because the body was always in the poisonous gas, and the body weakened over time."
Li Le explained lightly, and took out another tool with his hand.
"What is this?" Shen Sheng asked.
"This is my special medicinal powder, and you can tell what this poisonous gas is made of by collecting it." Li Le shook the bottle in his hand, and purple smoke came out of it.
"It's Su Lan poison, if you inhale it for a long time, it will make your body weaker and weaker, but this shouldn't be the reason for the sudden death of the deceased, the poison here is very heavy, let's leave early." Li Le said.
"It's not good here, the whole village is poisonous, right? Isn't the villagers here in danger? Shen Sheng looked at the village in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
"You go and scatter these powders around here, he can absorb these poisonous gases, and this little bit can absorb a lot of poisonous gases, it should be able to protect these villagers for a long time, and then you can send someone to arrange these villagers properly." Li Le divided the powder among the two of them.
The three of them scattered a large amount of powder around before heading towards the village.
"It can also check if the poison gas has weakened, and we can use it to determine whether we are in the poison circle." Li Le reopened the bottle, and the three of them continued to move forward.
The purple smoke in the bottle became less and less, and when I arrived in the village, there was no purple smoke at all.
"It seems that there is no poison gas in the village, they just absorb poison gas when they go in and out, no wonder there are not many lives." Seeing this, Li Le put away the bottle.
"There is no one in this village, and the silence is a little infiltrating." Shen Sheng couldn't help but get goosebumps.
In order to find out, Li Le decided to investigate what happened here, she knocked on the door of a house casually, but no one paid attention, so she had to change another one, and after knocking on the door of three houses in a row, a kind person finally appeared.
"Don't knock, they won't open the door!" A child hurried past with a medicine frame on his back.
Li Le quickly followed, wanting to find out, but he didn't expect to eat a closed door.
"Hey! We are not bad people, this is the county lord of Lanning, we are here to investigate the murder, we are not bad people, you can open the door for us. Xiao Tong knocked on the door and said.
I knocked for a long time, but there was no response inside.
"Forget it, in that case, don't force them." Li Le stopped Xiao Tong, who was about to knock on the door again.
Just as they were about to leave, the door suddenly opened.
"I told my father and mother about you, and they agreed to let you in." The little boy shouted loudly at their backs through the crack in the door.
The three of them instantly had a fighting spirit again, and quickly entered the house, and the old couple poured them some tea.
"The county lord came from afar, and we were a little lazy," the boy's old father said politely, "If you want to blame it, blame the unclean things in this village, which make everyone panic and dare not go out easily." ”
"What happened?" Li Le asked.
"There will always be some middle-aged people dying in this village over the years, and all of them have died for no reason, and the villagers have become afraid, so they don't dare to go out one by one." The old father explained.
"You don't have to worry, in my opinion, these are all done by people with intentions, and then I will send someone to take you all out and settle down, and send you some people to protect you, so that nothing like this will happen again." Li Le assured.
"I also hope that the county lord can investigate this matter clearly and calm the people's hearts." The old father knelt down and said.
"I feel that Sister Ah Le doesn't like others kneeling on her the most!" Xiao Tong stepped forward and helped the old father up, "Sister Ah Le is here to investigate these things this time, as long as you tell it everything you know, she will find a way to find the truth for you." ”
"Thank you, county lord!" The old father thanked him, and then told Li Le all the strange things that had happened in the village in recent years.
"There is a very heavy poisonous gas outside the village, and long-term absorption will make the body weak, but when you arrive in the village, the poisonous gas disappears, which must be deliberately done by someone with a heart, and it should be trying to trap you here." Li Le told them everything he knew.
"You don't have to worry about the poisonous gas outside the village, Sister Ah Le has already dealt with it, and then you can come and go as you like without worry," Xiao Tong said, "But you still need to be careful." ”
"Yes, the poison outside the village will only make you feel weak, and there is another reason for the violent death, this matter is still under investigation, you don't have to worry." Li Le naturally believes in his own ability.
"By the way, there is another one in the village, that is, the back mountain, those who died violently were all because they entered the back mountain, and they died violently not long after." The old father provided another clue.
"Then let's go to Houshan first," Shen Sheng said, "and finally go to that lady's house, and by the way, we can rest for a while." ”
"You're really bold, and you're going to rest in a place where you've died." The little boy looked at Shen Sheng in disbelief and felt that he was talking nonsense.
"It's still early, you should be able to go back," Li Le glanced at the sun outside, "By the way, Xiao Tong, you send a message back and send someone to evacuate the villagers here." ”
"If you don't hurry back at night, rest with us." The old father saw that they were really helping the villagers, and he was also sincere.
"No need, someone will come to pick you up and go to the place to arrange in the future, let's accompany you first to explain this matter to the villagers."
Li Le was still not relieved, and visited everyone's homes until his own people came, and then set foot on the road to the back mountain, but when he arrived at the back mountain, he found nothing, thinking that he had already been startled, so he had to give up and continue to look for the woman's residence.
Soon they also had the news that the villagers had settled down, and Li Le was completely relieved.
After all dangers, they finally arrived at the woman's house, but they heard some movement in the house, and the three of them instantly became nervous.
"You two go and block the other exits, be careful, don't startle the snake." Li Le calmly and seriously assigned tasks to the two of them.
The two acted immediately, and it was quickly dealt with, and the three of them reunited.
Li Le glanced at the two of them, nodded, and quickly pushed open the door, just in time to see a man in black rummaging around, seeing the three of them, the man in black was stunned at first, ready to escape but found that he had no way out.
At this time, the courtyard house was already in a mess with black clothes, and Li Le motioned for Xiao Tong to subdue the man in black.
Xiao Tong lived up to expectations and quickly subdued the man in black.
"Who are you? What were you looking for? Li Le asked coldly, but the man in black did nothing, looking like he was going home, "If you don't say it......"
Before Li Le's words were finished, the man in black committed suicide by gritting the poison of his back teeth.
Xiao Tong saw that he was not moving, and probed the breath of the man in black, "Sister Ah Le, he is dead." ”
