He thought of the young county party secretary.
Although the young man was not old, he had a deep mind that did not match his age. He must have known that Yang Guanfeng had come here. He also had the ability to get the helicopter. He also seemed to know the situation here.
For a moment, they all thought a lot.
In the largest wooden building in the village …
"Master, there is a problem at the insect building. A person ran out and was seen by the two outsiders in the valley. Yang Guanfeng has contacted the outside."
Miao Xihe was the first to learn of the news.
Whoosh! The loud sound of the helicopter's rotors spread into the valley. The people in the stockade came out and looked at the helicopter that was slowly landing in the sky.
"Master, there is a helicopter outside. Do you allow it to land?"
"Let it land and cooperate with their investigation. Find someone to take the blame," Miaoxi River said.
"Yes, Master."
The people who came by helicopter were public security personnel and forensic doctors from nearby cities. One of them was his former colleague. After they got off the helicopter, they immediately had a preliminary contact with Yang Guanfeng and learned about the case. The forensic doctor began to examine the body.
"This is?!"
After seeing the body, he was very surprised. It was the first time he had encountered such a body. He just did a simple on-site inspection.
"How is it?"
"The initial cause of death is poisoning," Yang Guanfeng said. "There are a lot of wounds on the body, and there are traces of cuts made by sharp weapons. Obviously, he has been tortured. In addition, there should be a large number of unknown poisonous insects in his body. The specific results need to be further examined. In addition, this person's body needs to be disposed of.
"You are the expert," Yang Guanfeng said. "You have the final say."
While they were discussing the man who had just died suddenly, Miaoxi River arrived at the scene.
"Hello, Captain Yang."
"Hello, Chief Miao, there has been a murder in your stockade. I hope you can assist in the investigation."
"You can rest assured, Captain Yang," Miaoxi River said. "We will do our best to assist in the investigation and find the murderer. He is also a threat in the valley."
"Who is this person?" Yang Guanfeng pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"I don't know this person either. He's not from the stockade," Miaoxi River said after taking a closer look at the dead man's face.
"Not from here?"
"Yes," Miaoxi River replied.
"Didn't Chief Miao say that outsiders rarely come here?"
"It's true that very few outsiders come here, but there will be people going out of the village, and there are some situations that I don't fully grasp."
"Alright, if Chief Miao thinks of any useful information, please let me know immediately."
"Definitely."
"That's good."
Immediately, Yang Guanfeng launched an investigation. The dead man had left some traces on the road. They followed the traces and came to a wooden building in the corner of the village. The wooden building was not small. It had two floors and looked very old.
They had gone round the village several times before, but had not come to it, for it was led by a narrow, winding path, and was blocked by a fence.
"What's that smell?" After approaching the wooden building, they smelled a special medicinal smell.
"Mr. Miao, what is this place?" Yang Guanfeng pointed to the wooden building and asked.
"This is a place in the village for people to study herbs," Miao Qingfeng replied.
"Herbs?"
"Yes, many people in our village study herbs," Miao Qingfeng said. "This wooden building was built in the village. It has a history of more than 300 years!"
"With such a long history, why is it in such a place?"
"Because some herbs are very dangerous," Yang Guanfeng said. "The smell they emit is also dangerous. It may have adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, this relatively remote location was chosen."
"Can we go in and have a look?"
"Yes, but the smell may be a little pungent."
"It doesn't have any toxic effect on the body, does it?"
"It's your first time going in, so it may be a little," Yang Guanfeng said. "At most, you will feel dizzy and nauseous. It's not a big problem."
"Let's go in."
The door of the wooden building was locked.
"It's still locked?"
"Yes, I have a key." Miao Qingfeng took out a key from his body.
"How many keys are there?" Yang Guanfeng asked.
"A total of five."
"Who has them?"
"One for me, one for the patriarch, and the other three are in the hands of three old people in the village who study herbs. They often come here."
Creak. The door of the wooden house was opened. There was a pungent smell. It was hard to adapt to the new place.
The furnishings in the wooden building were also very old. There were wooden tables, chairs, and stools. There were also many special tools. They all looked ancient.
"Well, what is this used for?"
"It's a medicine roller for crushing herbs."
"What about this?"
"It's used to dry herbs."
Yang Guanfeng was very curious about these things. He asked about them whenever he came across them.
"Well, well, there is a lot of knowledge in it!"
"But, it has been passed down for hundreds of years. There is a lot of knowledge in it."
"What about the second floor?"
"Let's go up and have a look." Miao Qingfeng led the way. They went up to the second floor.
There were some books on the second floor. There were also some bottles and jars.
"What are those?" Yang Guanfeng pointed to the bottles and jars.
"Those are the medicines that have been concocted. Some can be used directly. Some need to wait for a while."
"Can I open them and have a look?"
"Yes." Miao Qingfeng opened a few jars. Some of them were pastes, and some were granular medicines.
"What are these used for?"
"Different medicines have different effects. Some can treat external injuries, some can nourish the internal organs, and some can promote blood circulation and dredge stasis."
They walked around the second floor but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Then, they went down to the first floor. Yang Guanfeng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he walked around the first floor again.
"What's wrong?"
"Are there only two floors here?"
"Ha-ha, you are indeed a criminal investigation expert!" Miao Qingfeng said.
"There is another floor, but it is underground."
"Underground?"
"Let's go. We'll go in another direction."
They came to the outside of the wooden building and walked to the back of the building. It turned out that there was a small house behind the wooden building. There was also a lock.
"I don't have the key to this lock. Please wait a moment." Miao Qingfeng came back not long after he left.
"It's done."
"How many keys are there?"
"Three. The chief has one, and the other two are in the hands of the two old people in the stockade."
"What's in here?"
"Let's go in and have a look."
After unlocking the door, they pushed the door and went in. The smell inside was more unique and pungent. There was a slanted stone staircase leading to the underground. They followed the stone staircase to the bottom. There was a stone cave with an area of about 30 square meters. It was not regular. There were many wooden shelves with some bottles and jars on them. There were some cages on the ground. There was even a pool in the corner with water in it.
"What's in here?" The young man was about to move.
"Don't touch it!" Miao Qingfeng hurriedly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"There are poisonous snakes in here." As Miao Qingfeng spoke, he gently opened the lid of the jar and looked inside. There was a two-foot-long green snake coiled inside.
"Poisonous snakes? What's in these jars?"
"Not all of them are snakes. There are scorpions, centipedes, and lizards," Miao Qingfeng said.
"Five poisons?"
"It's poisonous to them, but it's also a good medicinal ingredient. It's needed in some medicines."
"That man has insects on him?"
"To be honest, I haven't seen them before."
"What about Chief Miao?"
"Chief should know, right?"
"What's in this pool?" He pointed to the pool of about three square meters at the corner of the cave.
"That pool is actually connected to this underground river. There is a special kind of white fish in it. It has a special nourishing effect." As Miao Qingfeng spoke, he came to the side of the pool. He took a fishing net from the side and quickly inserted it into the water to fish. He saw that there were two special fish in the fishing net. They were a rare snow-white color and looked very beautiful. “
Why don't you try it at noon? "
"Thank you for your kindness, but forget it." Yang Guanfeng waved his hand.
There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in this cave. They walked around carefully and then left this place.
After coming out of the cave, they continued to search for clues left behind. They came to the front of a bamboo building.
"What's this place?"
"It's where the people in the village live. The owner is called Miao Qingshan. He is a guy with a strange temper."
"Strange temper?"
"Yes, let's go in and have a look."
"The clue led us here!"
"Let's go in and have a look. Don't talk too much later!"
