Chapter 6 Find the Culprit Behind the Scenes
Du He asked heartily, and just hooked up the memory in Li Yifeng's mind, and said, "I remembered, it was in Huiji Mountain." At that time, I was tracking the whereabouts of the third junior brother, and followed a group of people to Huiji Mountain. encountered a heinous thing in the mountains, and Brother Du should have heard of it too. This is also one of the reasons why my master fell out with Chen Ziyu. A poison doctor surnamed Feng is researching poisons. In order to test the efficacy of the drug, they took in live people and forcibly injected them with poison for experiments. After poisoning the person, he dumped the body in the cellar in the back mountain. I don't know how long I tested, but I found more than 300 corpses in the cellar. Some are intact, some are rotten and maggots, and there is a foul smell, and I have gone down to find the whereabouts of the third junior brother. I've smelled the stench, and I've turned over corpses. I can't think of the epidemic at that time. ”
Li Yifeng told the surname Feng Poison Medical Doctor about experimenting with living people.
With Du He, they are all doctors, maybe they are not as good as Sun Simiao, who has lofty medical ethics, but after all, they are doctors, and they all live by helping the world and saving people.
Even Sun Simiao, who was a bodhisattva's heart, couldn't help but shout: "This person should be killed!" ”
Du He only heard Li Yifeng say one thing at the beginning, and he was already secretly hating it, but now that he listened carefully, he was even more murderous, but it was not the time to say this, so he asked: "Doctor Sun, do you think this is the reason why Brother Li is sick?" ”
"Quite possibly!" Sun Simiao thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "The outbreak of plague is often accompanied by disasters, especially the battlefield, which is a place that is easy to cause epidemics. According to my understanding, if the corpse is not disposed of in time, it will rot after death, and it will attract flies, maggots, rats and other dirt, and it is a place where some dirty things gather, but if there is too much of these dirt, it will cause epidemics. It is not impossible that 300 corpses were piled up on top of each other and left untreated for a long time, causing an epidemic. ”
"But even so, it's just a disease, not a poison. How can there be symptoms of poisoning. Du He thought about it along Sun Simiao's train of thought and asked questions, but then said to himself: "Could this be related to the poison that was poured down before death?" ”
One doctor vetoed: "Impossible, this man is as dead as a lamp." Even if the deceased was forcibly poured poison before his death, the poison would only accumulate in the body's gastric juice and would not spread throughout the body, let alone affect the epidemic. ”
Du He said in a deep voice: "But how can you explain Brother Li's condition?" It is clear that Brother Li has contracted the epidemic, and the only place that can be contaminated is the cellar of the valley of Huiji Mountain. Assuming that the two are not related, even if Brother Li contracted the epidemic because of the decomposition of his corpse, the symptoms could not be exactly the same as the epidemic in Suzhou. Since the two are the same, there must be a connection. Unexpectedly, we can only say that we have a wrong mind, but it does not mean that it does not exist. ”
Although he is not proficient in medical skills, his analytical skills are quite good.
Sun Simiao agreed: "I think what General Du said is reasonable, in fact, it is not that no one can still corrode the body after death. My teacher once said that the Miao people are good at Gu poison, especially the Miao people in Nanzhao are proficient in this way. Their poison is extremely domineering, not only can erode the internal organs of the human body, but also erode the skin of the person, so that the whole body of the deceased contains highly toxic and becomes a poisonous person. They feed poison and refine Gu with poisonous flesh, in order to add poison to poison. This brand new plague in Suzhou, the epidemic in the poison, the epidemic in the poison, unprecedented, I suspect that someone can pour a living person with highly toxic drugs, train a poisonous person, and then have the intention to let the poisonous person rot by himself, resulting in this strange epidemic of poison and poison in the epidemic. Of course, this is just my assumption, and I can't tell if that's the case or not. ”
Du He said: "But this is a clue after all, and you can't give up." As far as I know, that Feng poison doctor should have another mission, how could he develop a poisonous plague......" He still remembered that Yun Zhuo once told him that there was a person who was developing poison for them to poison Li Shimin, according to Li Yifeng's questioning of Chen Ziyu, this Feng poison doctor should be the one who developed poison for them. But why did he study the plague and attack the people of this city of Suzhou?
"Is there a story in this? Or from the beginning, the poison doctor surnamed Feng didn't think about refining poison for Chen Ziyu and Yun Zhuo, and at the beginning, he was using the two of them to deliberately show allegiance, but the actual purpose was to study this epidemic of poison and plague to deal with the people of Suzhou? ”
Such a thought flashed through Du Ho's mind.
"So be it!" He clasped his hands together, clapped his palms and said, "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Doctor Sun, you lead all the doctors in the city to study the disease, and strive to overcome this strange epidemic as soon as possible." I'm going to find the poison doctor surnamed Feng, but I want to see what kind of grudge you have against Suzhou, and you want to destroy the people of the whole city in one fell swoop, this intention is too vicious. ”
Sun Simiao and others said they understood.
Duhe said again: "Before we act, we should also find out the source. He smiled confidently, already having a new perspective in his mind. Maybe it's because I can't imagine that someone would poison 150,000 people in one fell swoop. So he has been investigating the source, he never thought that it was man-made, only that it was caused by some natural disaster, or some place was polluted by the environment, but now with Sun Simiao's reminder, after knowing that it was man-made, his mind suddenly broadened.
Since it was man-made, the source of the investigation was shortened all of a sudden.
It is impossible for people to poison 150,000 people one by one overnight, and they must have used special methods to poison the things that 150,000 people need to use. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, people's needs, are indispensable. Clothing, shelter and transportation have nothing to do with poisoning, only food can be used.
What is the food that 150,000 people must eat?
The answer was immediately apparent, and the only thing we could eat together was water.
This also explains why large families were spared.
Large families have their own wells, and they are self-sufficient in food and use, and if they want to be poisoned, they must first sneak into each other's mansions, which also makes it more difficult. On the contrary, the people use water in a well shared by a dozen or even dozens of households, and as long as the poison is put into the well, these dozen or even dozens of households will inevitably be recruited.
Since wells are communal, poisoning them is a breeze.
Du He said in a deep voice: "Only by putting the poison into the well can 150,000 people be hit overnight." Dr. Sun, you can focus on the investigation, the well must have been poisoned with that kind of hybridization. "It's a plague and a poison, and since it's a mixture of two toxins, the surname Suo gave him a name called hybrid poison.
The doctors laughed one after another.
One said, "Hybrid, that's a fitting name." ”
Sun Simiao immediately rushed to investigate the wells in Suzhou.
Sure enough, there was a poisonous poison in the water.
Sun Simiao couldn't say what kind of toxin this hybrid poison was made of, but with the sample, it was much easier to carry out research.
Du He handed over Suzhou's to Su Dingfang, and Sun Simiao was responsible for the treatment. He was personally in charge of tracking down the poison doctor surnamed Feng.
According to Li Yifeng's detailed account, Du He came to Huiji Mountain, spent a little effort, and found the so-called valley.
Listen intently, only the sounds of birds and beasts in the mountains and forests are in your ears, and the valley is empty.
Du He walked directly to the cellar behind the mountain that Li Yifeng said, and carefully opened the entrance, and a smell of coke came, and there was already a piece of charcoal under the cellar, and all the corpses had turned into ashes. I think it's because after the success of the experiment, Poison Doctor Feng has already destroyed the corpse first.
Now that the news is all broken, Du He is not in a hurry to return to Suzhou, and walks into the house in the valley to check if there are any clues left.
The left and right houses are some miscellaneous items, and the main house has three rooms, a hall, a medicine room, and the other is a bedroom. There were only a few mats and candlesticks in the hall, and there was an alchemy furnace similar to Taishang Laojun in the medicine room, and there were more than a dozen small medicine bottles on the table, but most of them were empty.
There is nothing special in the bedroom, a bed, a desk, a few books, an inkstone, pen and ink, extremely simple.
Suddenly, he found that there were a few balls of paper rolled together in the paper basket next to the desk, and his heart moved, and he poured the paper on the desk, picked up a ball, and opened it little by little, only to see that the word "kill" was crumpled on the paper, and the word was not very good, but there was a strong murderous aura in the strokes.
The remaining lumps of paper were opened one by one, and each one was written with the word "kill", the handwriting was the same, obviously from the handwriting of one person, but the horizontal and vertical were different, and the writing was a little strange.
Du He remembered that when he was learning calligraphy, he had heard the master say that calligraphy is an art, a profound art: when people practice calligraphy, the words can reveal the writer's state of mind and the state of mind at that time.
His gaze repeatedly probed between a few words, the four words "kill", each word is different in size and shape, and the handwriting is sloppy, which is not like practicing calligraphy, but venting, venting an emotion, and there is a murderous aura in the word "kill".
He closed his eyes and thought about the mood of the word owner writing these words, and had an illusion that the master wrote these words in extreme resentment, his eyes opened again, and he looked at the corners of the word mouth upturned, and the previous feeling was not an illusion, but the artistic conception, and the word revealed the artistic conception of his master when he wrote it.
Du He said in his heart: "The poison doctor surnamed Feng must have hated someone in his heart before he would let go of this crime, who is it, as long as he finds out this person, he will definitely be able to find out this person surnamed Feng." ”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of the only big family that was affected by the epidemic...... Su family!
Enlightened!
The Su family, yes, it's the Su family!
The Su family's epidemic is the most serious, and it is likely that the Su family has been hostile, so they deliberately took heavy medicine.
As long as you find the Su family and ask the reason, you will definitely be able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
