Chapter 53: Extreme Poison
As a high-ranking general, the Japanese intelligence agency felt that it was very necessary to thoroughly investigate the cause of Sakata's death. So his body was airlifted to Shanghai, where he was sent to a Japanese-run hospital, and two doctors of forensic science from Tokyo Imperial University were hired to perform an autopsy on Sakata's body.
After repeated research by these two forensic doctors, it was discovered that the real cause of Sakata's death was in Sakata's stomach, and there was diamond powder.
Amazingly, diamond powder itself is not chemically toxic, but it can cause stomach bleeding in people.
During the Renaissance, among the Italian giants, they began to use diamond powder to carry out assassinations. When a person ingests diamond powder, it cannot be eliminated from the body because it is insoluble in water. Therefore, diamond powder will stick to the stomach wall, and in long-term friction, it will cause stomach ulcers and cause stomach bleeding.
According to Lao Langzhong's prescription, Sakata still had to eat those Chinese medicines that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, which caused him to have stomach bleeding, which quickly intensified, and Daozhì died soon, if he didn't take those Chinese medicines, maybe he would have lived a few more days.
But where did all that diamond powder come from?
The two medical doctors repeatedly asked the people around Sakata what he had eaten in addition to his daily diet for a period of time before his death.
So someone said the special mushroom that Lao Lang had prescribed a prescription for. After hearing this, the two medical doctors lit up their eyes, looked at each other, and nodded in unison.
Then it was agreed that that particular mushroom was probably the culprit of Sakata's death.
It turns out that the place where the mushroom grows is the place where there is diamond mineral powder, and the mushroom will absorb a large amount of diamond mineral powder in the process of growth. This kind of diamond mineral powder is difficult to detect with ordinary medical instruments, and this substance itself is not toxic, so it will not be found when using relevant reagents and testing whether it is toxic.
The two forensic doctors believed that it could be preliminarily determined that this was a designed, near-perfect assassination plan, and that old man was most likely the mastermind and implementer of all these plans. But because that old man is already "dead", there is no proof of death, and every qiē has become a permanent mystery.
When the Kuomintang military commanders learned that Sakata had been assassinated rather than died of illness, they were also puzzled, and they were surprised that someone could assassinate such a high-ranking Japanese general. At first, I thought it was a master of my own department, but after checking and checking, I finally found that it was indeed not my own people.
So who did it? Who could have come up with such a perfect and brilliant assassination plan?
The military commanders used various channels to find out the ins and outs of this assassination incident. As a result, they discovered that the perpetrator and planner of this assassination was the extremely mysterious old man.
Who is that old man? What kind of background do you have? The corpse with the face smashed, is it really Lao Langzhong? Even though the military commanders spent a lot of money, spared no expense, and mobilized relations in various fields, in the end they still achieved nothing.
At the same time, the Japanese army also began an investigation into Lao Langzhong's background. Because it was Chen Ergou who introduced the old Chinese medicine doctor to Sakata, of course, he couldn't get out of it. But this Chen Ergou is indeed cunning enough, since the "death" of Lao Langzhong, he feels that the situation is getting more and more wrong, because on the day of Lao Langzhong's "death", he found something that shocked him, but he didn't dare to tell anyone.
On that day, it was reported that Lao Langzhong had been killed, and he was very surprised. Hurriedly took people to the scene to see. found that Lao Langzhong died very miserably, most of his face was beaten to pieces, and the person was unrecognizable, and several traitors who went with him at that time, two or three of them vomited on the spot, and the scene was really bloody.
However, Chen Ergou noticed a detail: on the face that was almost beaten, only the left eye was still intact. At that time, I don't know why, maybe it was the sixth sense, he walked over, opened the eyelid of the old Chinese medicine doctor's left eye with his hand, and took a closer look, it didn't matter, Chen Ergou couldn't help but almost screamed in surprise This is not Lao Langzhong at all! Because the left eye of the old man has a large and obvious yin eye, and the eyeball of the left eye of this corpse is very normal, without any yin eye. Although this corpse is very similar to Lao Langzhong in terms of size, fatness, and even age, it is not Lao Langzhong, and Lao Langzhong is not dead!
However, this Chen Ergou is cunning enough, although he is very shocked in his heart, he tries his best to pretend to be quiet. Because he knows that the reason why this old man is doing this game must be strange, and he is the introducer of the old man, if there are extraneous branches, he will not be able to explain to the Japanese at all.
However, after knowing that Lao Langzhong was fraudulently killed, Chen Ergou immediately became very vigilant, he thought hard, why did Lao Langzhong create this kind of deception, could it be ......, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, especially when Itagaki died soon, and the body was sent to Shanghai for autopsy, he felt that he had almost guessed correctly, and secretly complained in his heart, knowing that as Lao Langzhong's introduction to Sakata's treatment, he would definitely not be able to get rid of it, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Japanese, he knew better than anyone else. It's better to run for your life early! After the results of Sakata's autopsy came out, when he was about to arrest Chen Ergou, this kid had already slipped away.
It turned out to be a traitor, but Chen Ergou no longer dared to stay in the occupied area, because he knew what the consequences of being caught by the Japanese would be, so he had to dress up as a homeless person and flee to the rear with many fleeing people.
One day, he fled to a small town with many homeless people, tired and hungry, so he ran to a place where no one was around, and secretly pulled out a silver dollar from his clothes, hoping to buy something to eat. Suddenly, a hungry man in ragged clothes suddenly sprang out from behind him, snatched the silver dollar in his hand, and then turned his head to be afraid, of course Chen Ergou was desperately chasing after him, it was the only silver dollar on his body. How could he be willing to be snatched away by the light yì like this!
But in the process of chasing, I don't know who seemed to have tripped him with his foot on purpose, so Chen Ergou immediately fell and gnawed on, lost two teeth, and his mouth was full of blood, he was already very hungry, coupled with anxiety, tiredness, and this heavy fall, Chen Ergou immediately fainted. I don't know how long it took for him to slowly wake up, struggled to stand up, then walked to the nearby river, squatted down and picked up the river water, washed the mud and blood stains on his mouth and face, the wound no longer felt painful, only numb. Still hungry and hungry, he squatted on the riverbank, panting heavily, his mind blank.
Suddenly, a black nest head was handed to him. He hurriedly looked up and found a blind man standing in front of him, and he was still holding a fortune-telling disguise in his hand.
I only heard the blind man whisper, as if talking to himself, "Hey, we are more or less destined." Chen Ergou was a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly stood up, looked at the blind man carefully, he felt that he had never met, and hurriedly asked curiously: "Mr. said that there is fate, have you seen me?" Do we know each other? ”
The blind man didn't speak, just slightly opened his closed eyes, and looked at Chen Ergou for a while. When the two of them looked at each other, Chen Ergou was so shocked that the eyes that sat on the ground were the eyes of Lao Langzhong: the eyes were cloudy, and there was a big shadow in his left eye!
The blind man just smiled faintly at Chen Ergou, who was sitting on the ground and stunned, and then slowly turned around and left. Chen Ergou sat on the ground and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Those eyes still have the feeling just now, it is clear that this blind man is Lao Langzhong, but the strange thing is that except for those eyes, the blind man and Lao Langzhong have no resemblance at all, and even every move, walking posture, and speaking voice are completely different. How can this be explained? Chen Ergou was puzzled.
It wasn't until later, with his cunning and cleverness, that Chen Ergou joined the Kuomintang's spy organization and received formal and strict spy training, that he gradually figured out that the blind man was Lao Langzhong.
Because really clever makeup techniques not only have to change a person's physical characteristics, but also the posture of walking, and habitual movements. Because a well-trained agent can recognize a person just by the way he walks, no matter how well he disguises himself.
Obviously, the blind man has a very high degree of makeup skills, he cannot change his appearance, and even his walking posture and movements can disguise another person without revealing any traces.
Sister Li and I were immersed in these magical stories told by her cousin, combined with the strange stories that Yang Hui told us last time, which was also about the tall blind man, we felt more and more that this tall blind man was simply an oriental-style "wisdom superman".
Looking at the house full of books in Sister Li's cousin's house, I couldn't help but ask: "Old man, do you think that in history, there are really characters like the blind people, why can they predict the prophet and have such a strong ability to predict?" How it sounds like fiction, not like the real thing, it's unbelievable."
The old man said a little dry, so he picked up the tea on the table, drank a few sips, moistened his throat, heard my question, and couldn't help nodding, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, it's really hard to believe, but I still tend to believe that these are true, in fact, in this world, there are still a lot of characters like the blind man, since we talk about history, then let's see, in real history, is there such a character?" In fact, there are many such examples.
Let's start with foreign countries, US President Lincoln, I am afraid we all know, because he is relatively famous among US presidents. But not many people know about Lincoln's son, Robert. If you look at it according to Chinese numerology, Lincoln's son has a bit of a "hard" life:
Lincoln had four sons, and Robert was the eldest. The other three eldest only lived to be 18 years old, and only this Robert lived to be 82 years old. Robert has personally experienced the killing of two presidents of the United States in his life, and both presidents have a lot to do with him, one is of course Lincoln, that is his father; The other was Garfield, who at the time was Garfield's Secretary of War. This American Garfield, who was assassinated by assassination, is also legendary, he once predicted that he would either be killed by lightning or killed. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that such a prediction would not be made.
