Chapter 218: Spies
Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's where the problem lies. ”
Guo Jing hurriedly asked, "What do you see?"
Yang Guo didn't answer directly, but asked, "Aunt Guo doesn't have any questions about this?"
Guo Jing said: "Your aunt suspects that there is a problem with the person who paid a high price to see Dr. Li's needles, and the new needles he gave must have done something, but now it is difficult to find out what the problem is." ”
Yang Guo said: "If you want to find out the clues, it is best to catch the person who gave the new needle, but according to my nephew's guess, most of that person has already disappeared." ”
Guo Jing sighed: "You guessed right, I sent people to search all over the city, but there has been no news until now." ”
Yang Guo said: "It should be out of the city." ”
He added, "There shouldn't be many people in the city who can make needles, but have you ever traced this aspect?"
Guo Jing said: "I have already checked, and it was not done by the craftsmen in the city. ”
Yang Guo nodded, and asked again: "Uncle asked Dr. Li to diagnose and treat his aunt, has Dr. Li ever spread the word to the outside world?"
Guo Jing replied: "It has not been known to outsiders, then Dr. Li has been practicing medicine for many years and is well versed in the rules. ”
Yang Guo pondered for a while and said, "It seems that there is a conspiracy within the beggar gang. ”
Guo Jing couldn't help but be surprised: "You are in the same idea as your aunt, I don't know how you guessed it?"
Yang Guo was not surprised that Huang Rong could guess this, and Wen Yan asked, "What." My aunt didn't say why?"
Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Your aunt said that as soon as she saw me, she would have a poison attack, and she refused to see me for the past two days." ”
He sighed again: "It's poisoning." Where in the world is there such a strange poison?
When Yang Guo heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, and his expression was thoughtful.
Guo Jing sighed for a while and asked, "You haven't said how you know that there are spies in the gang?"
Yang Guo said: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, just push it down one by one from the exchange of silver needles." ”
Guo Jing shook his head and said, "My stupid brain can't guess, so you better say it directly." ”
Yang Guo said: "Someone wants to poison my aunt, this can be determined. And from the whole thing. The layout of the people behind this is very tight, and there are no obvious flaws, that's all. It can be inferred that the person who poisoned was premeditated and not improvised. ”
"The silver needle can be used to detect poison, but this person chose the silver needle as a poisoning tool, which can be described as very scheming. Such a cautious nature of this person. Wouldn't it be better to secretly poison the needle? Deliberately changing needles?"
Guo Jing said: "Yes, if this person poisons the needle that Dr. Li used before, and he doesn't know it, there will be no suspicion of anyone other than Dr. Li. ”
Yang Guo nodded and said, "And this person does this for a reason. Because of this, the person could only poison his aunt the night before Dr. Li administered the needle to his aunt. If the poison is too early, if Dr. Li uses the poisoned silver needle to diagnose and treat other patients, the toxicity of the needle will be reduced. It even made the silver needle lose its toxicity. ”
"Moreover, once the poisoned patient makes trouble. It will inevitably affect Dr. Li's reputation, and if this matter reaches the ears of his uncle, his uncle will let Dr. Li come to treat his aunt?"
Guo Jing nodded in agreement and said, "You also said that this person can be poisoned at night, so you don't have to worry about it, why didn't this person do it?"
Yang Guo said: "Aunt Guo is unparalleled in intelligence, who in the world does not know? This person is naturally extremely jealous of his aunt, if he sneaks into Dr. Li's house at night to poison him, first, he does not know where the needles are stored, and it is too troublesome to find; second, after the incident, once it is traced, it is easy to find out who is not at home that night. How dare this person take any chances?"
"And changing the needle is very simple, you only need to send a person who is not known by everyone, it is not effortless, and the possibility of exposure is small, as long as the son of Dr. Li is greedy for money, this matter can be successful. ”
Guo Jing sighed: "It's still your brain, if I think about it, I can't think of these things in a hurry." ”
Yang Guoqian said: "Uncle is doing big things, and my nephew is just playing some tricks. ”
Guo Jing waved his hand and said: "Don't be humble, your intelligence and wisdom have already been praised by your aunt." ”
He asked again: "Then how did you come out of the fact that this person is a spy of the beggar gang?"
Yang Guo said: "The person who poisoned him didn't know in advance that his uncle was going to ask Dr. Li for treatment, so he wouldn't have prepared the silver needle in advance. And Uncle Guo also said before that the new set of needles was not made by craftsmen in the city, so it naturally came from outside the city. ”
"Can you make a new set of needles in one day, and have an enmity with Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, or outside the city, in this critical period, who else can you do except Mongolian?"
"And Xiangyang City is quite far away from the Mongolian army camp, so Dr. Li will not take the initiative to spread the news, and if the spies in the city get the news from Dr. Li, it will take a lot of time, even if there are carrier pigeons to spread the news, the Mongols will not have time to make a new set of needles and bring them into the city. ”
"Therefore, the most likely news is from Uncle Guo, and the person who can get the news from his uncle and make it impossible for his uncle to find a trace afterwards can only be done by the beggars who are trusted by his uncle and aunt. ”
"And if the nephew is expected to be good, this person should have a good status in the gang. Uncle Guo can start from this convenience, and maybe he can find out some clues. ”
Guo Jing said suddenly: "No wonder when I wanted to find the spy, your aunt advised me not to act rashly, if this person really has a high status in the gang, if he is not careful, he will cause trouble and be taken advantage of." ”
Yang Guo nodded and said: "The top priority is to first solve the poison in my aunt's body, and the matter of finding spies can be relieved." ”
When Guo Jing heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again.
Yang Guo said: "My nephew once heard that Master Yideng has a junior disciple who has unparalleled detoxification skills in the world, has my uncle sent someone to invite him?"
Guo Jing said: "I have already let Dawu and Xiaowu go, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back." ”
Yang Guo nodded and said, "Then it should be fine, uncle doesn't have to worry too much." ”
He also said: "My nephew seems to have heard of my aunt's illness, so maybe he can help him." ”
Guo Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked urgently: "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"
Yang Guo said: "I am not completely sure yet, and I have to ask more specifically." ”
Guo Jing stood up as soon as he "whew", took Yang Guo's arm and walked out, and said, "I'll take you to see your aunt, you can ask whatever you want." (To be continued......)
