Chapter 49: The Secret Medicine
The night passed, the sun did not come out, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it began to rain. The rain was not heavy, but it continued to rain from dawn, shrouding everywhere in a mist of sorrow.
Lacking sunlight, the work room of the county government in Yuwu County was even darker, and it seemed that an eerie cold air was emerging from the damp brick underground.
Shen Yi also felt a little chill on his body, the sword wound on his shoulder was not serious, and it had been bandaged, but it seemed that the sword qi had penetrated deep into his flesh and bones, aggravating the old wound that had not healed, making him feel tired.
Lao Wu was carefully examining Bai Qingfeng's corpse.
Shen Yi saw the sword marks on Bai Qingfeng's throat, but his heart was full of generosity. The black-clothed killer has excellent swordsmanship and extraordinary will, and he really wants to fight him again and fight it again. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a rush of blood boiling in his heart, and he had not had this kind of fierce fighting spirit in the face of a strong enemy for a long time.
After Lao Wu inspected the corpse, he looked up at Shen Yi and said, "Powerful, a sword is deadly, and I didn't use any extra strength." ”
Shen Yi nodded, he had already seen this, and he just hoped to find new clues.
Lao Wu's face was calm and almost numb, and after years of dealing with dead bodies, he seemed to have hidden his feelings in the wrinkles on his face that were as deep as knives.
Shen Yi looked at the old man, and suddenly felt that it was not easy for everyone to live, but there were too many people who were silently enduring it and didn't say it. He couldn't bear to let Lao Wu work anymore, and said, "Lao Wu, you have worked hard, go and rest." ”
Lao Wu Flat's face was wrinkled, there was no expression, but his eyes showed gratitude, no one would refuse the kindness of others. He nodded, turned around silently, took a few steps, turned back again, glanced at Shen Yi's bloodstained shoulder, and said, "Lord Shen, you should also rest more." ”
Shen Yi couldn't help but smile, his stiff and cold body seemed to flow through warmth.
Lao Wu left, and there was one less person, and there seemed to be a heavier yin in this room.
Shen Yi slowly walked past Bai Qingfeng's corpse and walked to the other side of the room. Just next to the wall, there were also two corpses, covered with coarse willow cloth, only showing their heads and faces, one was Zhu Tianwei and the other was Bai Qingyun. They lay side by side, and they were close only after death, but unfortunately they were unconscious, and there would be no more hatred and sorrow.
Although they had been dead for several days, except for their pale complexions, the two of them still looked as usual, showing no signs of decay, as if they had been protected from decay by something magical. Zhu Tianwei died of severe poison in the silver needle in his body, but Bai Qingyun died of overdose of rain mist tea powder, how could he also keep the corpse from decomposing?
Shen Yi walked around the two corpses several times, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There are countless kinds of poisons in the world, but there are not many that may make the body incorruptible, in fact, he only knows that only the Yin family of Donghu can make such a strange poison.
The Donghu Yin family is not a sect of rivers and lakes, not skilled in martial arts, but a family of doctors, proficient in pharmacology, for the special needs of patients, only to develop a drug, administered to the newly deceased, can keep the body from decaying, can make the deceased family have more time to prepare for the funeral ceremony. Although this medicine is made to preserve the corpse, it is so strong that if a living person takes it, he will die immediately.
Decades ago, there was a child of the Yin family, unwilling to stick to his duty, so he stole this medicine and wandered the rivers and lakes, wanting to become famous and get ahead. This medicine is so dangerous and strong, as soon as it appeared in the rivers and lakes, it immediately stirred up a big storm, and it was really beautiful. It's a pity that this disciple of the Yin family is ambitious, but his wisdom is mediocre, and his martial arts are not high. And the remaining poison passed through the hands of several people, and finally the poison was completely killed.
Since then, the Yin family has learned a lesson, and the formula of this poison is kept secret in a very private place, and at the same time, it is strictly forbidden for their children to move around the rivers and lakes.
In the past years, the Yin family was not a person in the rivers and lakes, and this past of the rivers and lakes was just like those short-lived stories, which were dusty with the years and not known to the general public. But one day, when drinking tea in the evening, everyone in Qingtianfu was gossiping in the flower hall, and Mr. Zhuge accidentally mentioned this matter and told the ins and outs. Shen Yi heard that this poison had long been lost, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but he had a very good memory, and now that he saw that the corpses of Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun were not decomposed, he suddenly remembered the legend of this poison.
Shen Yi stood between the two corpse beds, looked at the corpses of Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun left and right, and realized something in his heart. He reached into his arms and took out the file of the robbery of the Extinction Jewel. The dossier contains an overview of all the robberies committed over the past 10 years. He turned the page, and sure enough, his memory was correct, and on the second page, the first victim was the Donghu Yin family. After the robbery of the Yin family in Donghu seven years ago, the murderer set fire to the manor, and the government could not verify the body, so it had to roughly report the family of 157 men, women, and children, and none of them were spared.
And Yin Tongming, the doctor who treated Mrs. Bai Qingyun, is said to have excellent medical skills, and keeps saying that Bai Qingyun died from overdose of rain mist tea powder, and now that I think about it, I wonder if this Yin Tongming is related to the Yin family in East Lake? In the end, can that rain mist tea powder really poison people? Why can that rain mist tea powder keep the body from decay after poisoning people, just like the poison on a silver needle?
Shen Yi looked at the case file in his hand, and then at the corpse in the room, he couldn't help but raise his right hand and gently rub his temples. Not only did he feel cold and tired at the moment, but his headache was getting worse. The more I investigated, the more I found that this case was widely implicated and deeply hidden, which is really rare.
He pushed the door and walked out of the house, found the yacha who stayed on duty to settle down for a few words, and then left the county office alone and walked onto the sparsely populated street.
It was drizzling and soon wet his clothes. When I arrived at the Rain and Fog Mountain, the rain was denser, and the fog was heavier, and everywhere I looked, it was all vast, and it seemed that everything in the world was trapped in this rain and fog.
Shen Yi suddenly stopped and waited quietly on the road.
The clouds and mist in front of them separated, but it was Bai Xinyu and Sheng Donglai who walked out one after the other.
Bai Xinyu's face was a little pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and he walked in front. Sheng Donglai followed behind, although he looked at Bai Xinyu's back with a lot of worry in his eyes, there was also a kind of satisfied happiness on his face, just like a loyal dog who could stay by the master's side, even if the owner did not pretend.
Seeing these two people, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yi's mouth.
Sheng Donglai was the first to look up and see Shen Yi, and shouted, "Isn't this Shen Daxia?" His gaze turned in front of and behind Shen Yi, and he said, "Where is Miss Hua?"
Bai Xinyu didn't speak for a while, looked at Shen Yi's side, then looked at the path behind him, and asked, "Shen Daxia, you're back, why didn't Su Su come back with you?"
Shen Yi knew that it was not good, shook his head and said, "I came directly from the county government, and I didn't see Miss Hua. ”
Bai Xinyu burst into tears, covered his face with his hands, squatted on the ground, and cried: "I knew that those bad guys would not let us go easily, they must have killed Su Su again...... It was I who hurt Su Su, and I shouldn't have kept her in the first place. ”
