Chapter 5: The Unknown (Part II)
In the cellar of Yi Mochen's mansion, Tang Qianlin stood calmly in front of Chu Lekang's corpse, listening to Xiao Tianjun's explanation.
Yi Mochen covered his mouth and nose and stood on the side, frowning, he really didn't understand how Xiao Tianjun had survived until now by staying in this place all day.
"Before you came here, the air in this cellar was fresh." Yi Mochen complained in a low voice, "Why did it become like this now, how can I explain to my dead ancestors, it was originally used to store food and wine, but now it's good, it's a morgue, and there is not a complete corpse." ”
Tang Qianlin looked sideways at Yi Mochen: "Can you shut up?" ”
Yi Mochen looked at Xiao Tianjun, who was standing by the dissecting bed in a daze: "You continue." ”
Xiao Tianjun nodded mechanically, and looked down at Chu Lekang's corpse, whose abdomen and chest were dissected: "He died of a bacterial infection, this bacterium is very corrosive, and it is inferred from the degree of decay that the bacteria spread and invaded from the stomach to the surroundings. ”
Tang Qianlin looked down, not like Yi Mochen, as if he was not surprised by this kind of scene: "So, my senior brother ate food that contains that kind of bacteria?" ”
Xiao Tianjun nodded and said, "Yes, this bacterium has a very strong ability to survive, even after a person dies, it can still survive in its body for several hours." ”
After speaking, Xiao Tianjun raised his hand and looked at the table below: "According to the time of death you said, it is five hours to be exact." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "After five hours, this bacterium will die? ”
"Yes, but if a living creature is contaminated with this bacteria, the bacteria will always survive, but this bacteria can only erode the inside of the human body, and cannot penetrate into the body through the body surface, so it can only enter through the esophagus." Oda Jun raised his hand and pointed to a cage next to him, "I did an experiment with that rabbit, the rabbit is dead, but there is no trace on the surface. ”
Yi Mochen accosted beside him: "How do you know that you can't get infected through the skin?" ”
Oda Jun raised his arm, rolled up his sleeve, and let them look at the reddish part: "I've done experiments with myself." ”
Tang Qianlin frowned when he heard this, and shook his head.
Yi Mochen stepped forward and pointed at Xiao Tianjun: "Hey, are you really sick?" Are you kidding with your life? ”
Oda Jun said lightly: "If you don't do live experiments, you can't get the right answer." ”
Yi Mochen pointed to the cage and said, "Didn't you experiment with rabbits?" ”
Oda Jun said: "Rabbits and humans are two different creatures, as far as I know, the closest animal to humans is pigs, this place is too small, there is no way to raise too many pigs. ”
Yi Mochen looked at Xiao Tianjun helplessly: "Even if that's the case, you don't need to experiment with yourself, right?" ”
"I'm not going to miss a chance." Xiao Tianjun said coldly, "The most important thing is that I am a person, a doctor, my duty is to save people, not kill people, I am different from those people, I would rather use myself for experiments than hurt other people." ”
Tang Qianlin and Yi Mochen both knew that the "those people" that Xiao Tianjun was referring to were the brutes of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit who killed his lover.
Oda-kun slowly walked to the desk and said to the woman's head in the container, "Right?" ”
Tang Qianlin and Yi Mochen both looked at Xiao Tianjun.
Xiao Tianjun reached out and hugged the container, with a happy smile on his face: "Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, I will never become a demon." ”
Yi Mochen looked at Xiao Tianjun's appearance and shook his head, walked to Tang Qianlin's side and said, "He even dissected your senior brother and found out the cause of death, all with the hope that he might be able to find his lover resurrected, this is the only belief that supports him to live." ”
After listening to this, Tang Qianlin just said: "He is a loving and righteous person." ”
After speaking, Tang Qianlin stepped forward again and asked, "Did my senior brother suffer any other injuries before he died?" ”
Xiao Tianjun looked back after a while: "There are a lot of bruises. ”
After listening to this, Tang Qianlin walked straight to the dissecting table to take a closer look, while Yi Mochen stood in the distance and looked up, not daring to approach, he felt that he would vomit if he looked at it a few more times.
After Tang Qianlin looked at it, Yi Mochen asked from afar: "Old Tang, how is it?" ”
Tang Qianlin was silent, and Xiao Tianjun slowly stepped forward and said, "Judging from the bruises, he went through a vicious fight before he died, but the injuries were not serious. ”
Yi Mochen asked, "What does that mean?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It shows that he has been besieged, and there are more than ten people, my senior brother's kung fu is excellent, five or six kung fu masters are not a problem for him to deal with alone, but if the other party has a large number of people, it is almost impossible to protect himself from a little injury." ”
After speaking, Tang Qianlin asked again: "Xiao Tianjun, how long does it take for this bacterium to die after it enters the human body?" ”
"I don't know." Oda Jun shook his head and said, "I said, I can't do human experiments, if you follow the standards of rabbits, it's almost three hours." ”
Tang Qianlin stood there pondering, and said for a long time: "Three hours, that is to say, my senior brother was poisoned three hours ago when he arrived at the tavern and was poisoned by this bacteria. ”
Yi Mochen said at this time: "Your senior brother must have been poisoned in Harbin City. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”
"Before your senior brother entered the tavern, he was out of breath, which means that he knew that he was injured and poisoned, and as far as martial arts practitioners are concerned, they all know very well that once they are poisoned, they can't exercise vigorously, so your senior brother must have walked slowly to the tavern, and therefore he couldn't get rid of the disciples of the Eight Phases Gate who were tracking him, this is one of them." Yi Mochen stood there and analyzed, "Second, it started to snow half an hour after I arrived at the tavern, but when your senior brother came in, there weren't too many snowflakes on his body, which means that the place where he stayed before was not far from the tavern, at most only two streets." ”
Tang Qianlin was a little amazed at Yi Mochen's reasoning ability, but he only nodded slightly and said, "What is the place near the two streets from the tavern, you can probably tell me." ”
Yi Mochen closed his eyes and recalled, and the map of the old expatriate area immediately flashed in his mind, and on the map, buildings rose from the ground according to his memories, forming a three-dimensional picture.
Yi Mochen said: "In addition to the residential buildings, there are five casinos there. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "My senior brother doesn't go to the casino, he hates gambling the most. ”
Yi Mochen said again: "There are also two Hualou kilns, five taverns, and the rest are some ordinary shops." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Is there a hostel?" ”
Yi Mochen shook his head: "No, the nearest hostel is four blocks away from the tavern." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Yi Mochen opened his eyes and said: "No, there are very few houses in the old expatriate area now, and they are basically used by the Japanese themselves or by exchanging them for others to trade." ”
Tang Qianlin nodded silently, and Yi Mochen asked, "Does your senior brother like to visit the kiln?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "As far as I know, it's okay." ”
Yi Mochen was happy: "What do you mean it's okay?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "He has never married a wife, so sometimes he goes, but not often, but he wants to see me, since there is something important, he will definitely not go to the kiln, the most likely is to go to the tavern, how many of the five taverns you just said are opened by Japanese?" ”
Yi Mochen said: "Four of them were opened by Japanese, and one was opened by Shandong. ”
Tang Qianlin nodded affirmatively: "Then he is most likely to go to the tavern opened by Shandong people to drink." ”
Yi Mochen asked curiously, "Why didn't he go to the tavern you agreed upon?" Which one are you going to? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "My senior brother is a very strange person, he never arrives late when he asks people to meet, but he will never arrive early, so the only place he can go to is the tavern, because he is addicted to alcohol, and he can't drink for a day, and besides, he hates the Japanese, and he will never go to a tavern opened by the Japanese." ”
Yi Mochen nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Yi Mochen and said, "Tomorrow, please take care of my son, I want to go to the tavern." ”
Yi Mochen waved his hand and said: "No, tomorrow I will go out to see a friend, there is something important, you can rest assured, your son is safe in my house, and he is so old, he will be fine." ”
Tang Qianlin didn't say a word, just thanked Xiao Tianjun, and then turned to leave.
After Tang Qianlin left, Yi Mochen asked Xiao Tianjun: "Xiao Tianjun, what do you think of this person?" ”
Xiao Tianjun looked at the direction of the door, and said four words for a long time: "Affection and righteousness." ”
Yi Mochen smiled: "The two of you have the same evaluation of each other. ”
Xiao Tianjun buried his head in the notebook and recorded something, and never said a word to Yi Mochen again.
Tang Qianlin, who returned to the guest bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his sleeping son, his heart was full of unease.
Soon after arriving in Harbin, the senior brother died in front of his eyes, and he also told himself that Qinglong Temple was a trap.
But the senior brother has been coming to the Northeast to track down Qinglong Temple for ten years, why did he know that it was a trap after ten years?
All the traps are designed by people, who is behind the use of the Qinglong Temple designer brother? What is the purpose of this person or this organization? Will it be Japanese?
Tang Qianlin's mind was full of questions, and he came to Harbin for another important thing, that is, to find Tang Zicheng's biological mother, the woman who left the child and walked away.
A few months ago, Chu Lekang clearly told Tang Qianlin in a telegram that he had actually seen He Chenxue, Tang Zicheng's biological mother, in Harbin.
Could there be such a coincidence in the world? Why did that unpredictable woman appear in Harbin again?
Tang Qianlin couldn't sleep, so he had to take out the wind ruler from his bag and wipe it, and at this moment he thought of a key question, that is, Chu Lekang's apprentice. Chu Lekang once mentioned several times in his letters that he had accepted an eccentric apprentice many years ago, so where is this nephew of his? What does he know?
Coming to this strange place is unfamiliar, there are no friends to rely on, and I don't know all the situations, so I can say that my eyes are black. And he doesn't know what the owner of this strange house, Yi Mochen, is coming from, and what his purpose is?
Step by step, walking on thin ice. Tang Qianlin remembered his senior brother's usual mantra, which was the only eight words he knew now.
