Chapter 158: Medicinal Fragrance as a Guide
In recent days, I have long forgotten about the shroud, but I didn't expect that the shroud would involve Li Hai and Qin Wenhua just after returning to the city.
It seems that I must crack the secret hidden in the shroud as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many dreams at night.
Half an hour later, we drove back to the Kunhong District Police Station, and because I was afraid that Su Dingqin would worry, I instructed Shen Nanxiao and Ning Nanxi in advance not to tell the story of Li Hai and Qin Wenhua's abduction.
Now the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, and I must not ruin Su Dingqin's plan because of my own affairs, which will affect the lives of millions of people in the urban area.
At this time, a large pot has been set up in front of the police station, and the diameter of this pot is about one and a half meters, and the depth is half a meter.
Below is an iron hearth, the inside has been stuffed with firewood, and next to the iron pot are several stainless steel buckets, which are supposed to be used to hold the medicinal juice soaked in dragon pockmarks.
"Miss Ning, how is your senior brother's condition, has his condition stabilized now?" Su Dingqin, who was standing in front of the iron pot and was directing the police, saw the three of us coming back, so he walked in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Qin, he ......"
Without waiting for Ning Nanxi to finish speaking, I directly preemptively said: "Uncle Qin's condition is stable now, he was soaking in a medicinal bath in a wooden barrel when we went, everything is under control, Brother Su doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"That's good, since Miss Ning and Senior Brother are okay for the time being, then let's concentrate on dealing with these corpses, now Chen Qingyun has prepared the equipment and Long Mazi, as long as the other sheriffs come with medicine, we will start boiling!" Su Dingqin said calmly.
After waiting outside the police station for about half an hour, several Buick cars appeared in our sight.
After the car stopped, five sheriffs stepped out of the car and came to us with a gloomy face.
Su Dingqin glanced at a few people, then glanced in the direction of the Buick car, and then asked, "What about the medicinal materials, why are only a few of you here?" ”
One of the sheriffs sighed when he heard this, saying that several of them had turned around all the Chinese medicine stores in their jurisdiction, and there was no such medicinal herb as dragon pockmark in the pharmacy.
I heard from the owner of the pharmacy that yesterday a man wearing a black mask asked for all the dragon seeds in the Chinese medicine store, and the same is true for other Chinese medicine stores.
The sheriff asked the boss what the man wanted so many dragon pocks for, and the boss couldn't say that he was ugly, he just said that he would sell it if he had money, anyway, it was not an unsightly thing, and they had no right to care what the other party was doing with so many medicinal materials.
"All the dragon pockmarks in the pharmacies in the five districts have been sold, and there is not even a pound left?" Ning Nanxi looked at the several sheriffs in front of him and asked in surprise.
"Don't say a catty, even if it's not a tael or a penny, I asked the boss to pull out the medicine cabinet containing medicinal materials and show it to me, and even bought the medicine residue!" The sheriff looked at Ning Nanxi and said helplessly.
Hearing this, my heart sank, if it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be impossible for an ordinary person to buy so many dragon pockmarks.
Previously, according to Su Dingqin, the medicinal effect of dragon pockmarks was extremely cold, and ordinary prescriptions were rarely used, but now this person buys a large number of dragon pockmarks obviously not wanting us to buy them.
In this way, he should have expected that we would go to the pharmacy to buy this item, and after careful analysis, I suspect that this person is very likely to be related to the mastermind behind it, and even that he may be a serial killer who kills people.
It's just that a whole day has passed since this incident, and it is impossible for us to find this person, but now that time is pressing, what should we do without Long Mazi.
Just when I was anxious in my heart, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Dingqin's mouth, and Shen Nanxiao was puzzled when he saw this and asked: "Brother, when has this been, how can you still laugh, now there is no Long Mazi, how can we lure the corpse out, if the corpse cannot be eliminated, then there will definitely be other innocent people who will be deeply implicated!" ”
"It's really not a good thing for us to not be able to buy Long Mazi, but it's not a bad thing, at least I can now be sure that my previous conjecture is correct, these corpses that have come back from the dead will definitely act because of Gu worms, otherwise how can they buy this Long Mazi out, their purpose is to make it impossible for us to use this to lure out the corpses, so that these corpses can lurk among the people and cause panic." Su Dingqin explained in a deep voice.
"Having said that, what should we do next, the dragon hemp seeds we bought are at most thirty catties, how much medicinal juice can be boiled out of such medicinal materials, what if the smell of medicine is too weak to attract corpses?" Shen Nanxiao said with a worried look on his face.
Seeing that Shen Nanxiao was so worried, Su Dingqin said with a slight opening of the corners of his mouth: "Don't worry, since Kunhong District can buy Long Mazi, he said that the other party only bought Long Mazi in these five districts, and he didn't buy Long Mazi in the rest of the city, if that's the case, we can go to other districts to buy it first." ”
After Su Dingqin finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Qingyun and said: "Chen Ju, there are a total of eight districts in Hongyang City, excluding five districts and two districts in Kunhong District, now you quickly send your police officers to these two districts to buy Long Mazi, the speed must be fast, in case the other party guesses our plan, it will be troublesome!" ”
Chen Qingyun did not hesitate after hearing this, and hurriedly dispatched his police officers to the other two areas to buy Long Mazi, while the few of us returned to the police station hall first to wait.
"Brother, who did you say the man who bought Long Mazi would be?" While waiting, Shen Nanxiao walked to Su Dingqin and asked.
"Now we know that there are two people in the opponent, who are the murderers of the serial murder case and the promoter behind the scenes, the two of them are the most suspicious, I think the man who bought Long Mazi should be one of them, this is a clue, we must not let go, maybe the roadside surveillance camera can take pictures of this person's appearance, if there is really an image in hand, then we can transform the passive into the active, with the portrait to find someone is much easier than now."
After Su Dingqin finished speaking, he immediately found the sheriff of the fifth district and asked them to arrange for the police to investigate near the pharmacy to see if the surveillance cameras on the street had captured the appearance of the man who bought medicinal herbs.
After everything was arranged, we took advantage of our free time to have a light meal, after all, we don't know what time it will be busy tonight, and we must be fully prepared.
Shortly after we had eaten, there was the sound of a car outside the police station, and through the window, we saw that several police officers who had been sent out by Chen Qingyun to buy medicinal herbs had returned, carrying sacks, and it seemed that they had already bought the dragon hemp seeds they needed.
After entering the police station, several police officers put the sacks in their hands on the ground, saying that they had gone to more than a dozen Chinese pharmacies and bought all the dragon pockmarks stored in the pharmacy warehouse, and the sacks contained a total of 120 catties.
Hearing this, Chen Qingyun turned his head and glanced at Su Dingqin next to him, and when he saw Su Dingqin nodding, he immediately ordered his subordinate police officers to put all the dragon pockmarks in the cauldron, and then pour in water to boil.
Although the cauldron is one and a half meters in diameter, such a number of dragon pockmarks cannot be fully contained, so we have no choice but to boil them several times.
Although it will take a little more time, the later it will be that there will be fewer people on the streets, and the less people will be in danger, which will not affect us much.
As the firewood crackled and exploded in the hearth, the smell of dragon pockmarks gradually spread in the air.
I thought that the medicinal smell of dragon hemp seeds would be as bad as other Chinese medicines, but what I didn't expect was that the medicinal smell emitted by dragon hemp seeds was not only not unpleasant, but had a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed after smelling it.
According to Su Dingqin, although the medicinal properties of Long Mazi are extremely cold, it is a good medicine.
One of the medicinal effects is to clear the mind, this medicinal fragrance will go down the nasal cavity to the brain, giving people a calming effect.
Gu insects are also so obsessed with dragon pockmarks because they like this fragrant smell, generally speaking, if Gu insects encounter wild dragon pockmarks in the wild, they will not even obey the master's orders.
They will pounce on it and bite it until they have sucked up the juice in the dragon hemp leaves.
After about three hours, the two pots of water had already boiled into brown medicinal juice, Su Dingqin walked to the iron pot to take a look, and saw that the medicinal juice was already a little sticky, so he asked Chen Qingyun to order his police officers to scoop the medicinal juice into the metal utensils, and then carry the metal utensils to the prepared pickup truck.
A large blower is placed on the pickup truck, and once the car is started, the blower starts blowing on the metal utensils to fully emit the smell of medicine, and we also have a heating stove under the metal utensils, so that there is no fear of reducing the heat and weakening the smell.
By the time everything was ready, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening, and during the preparation period, the police chiefs of the five districts had also transferred police officers from their respective districts, and together with the police officers of Kunhong District, there were about sixty or seventy people.
"Mr. Su, now all the police officers add up to a total of sixty-eight people, are these people enough, do you need to send more people, by the way, do you need them to bring guns?" Chen Qingyun walked to Su Dingqin's side and asked in a low voice.
Su Dingqin sneered when he heard this, and said that it is useless to bring a gun, we are in an urban area, if the gun is really fired, the residents near will definitely hear the gunshot, and if someone checks the situation, they will definitely be in danger, and besides, we are not facing criminals, even if the bullet hits them, I am afraid that they will not be injured in the slightest, so don't bring the gun, if you really bring it, it may still be a hidden danger.
As for the manpower, Su Dingqin did not elaborate, he walked directly to the police officers who had been lined up neatly, walked in front of everyone, and after reaching the end of the line, Su Dingqin turned around and said in a deep voice: "The third, seventh, tenth, seventeenth, and twenty-fourth in the first row are out of the ranks, and the sixth, twelfth, twentieth, and twenty-eighth in the second row are out of the ranks!" ”
Chen Qingyun glanced at these police officers and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Su, aren't these police officers good, I think they are strong and good, why do you want to single them out?" ”
"In today's operation, except for a few of us, we will only take nine of them to go, and the rest of the people will go back where they come from, if they really can't do it, they will stay in the police station, and let them go back after the matter is done." Su Dingqin said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Qingyun's face showed a stunned expression, he hurriedly looked at Su Dingqin and said: "Don't be kidding, there are a lot of people on the other side and they are not people, even if we add nine of them, there are only a dozen people, what if there is a real enemy, this matter is not considered, I think you should still think about it, it is too bad for us to do this, I don't agree!" ”
