"What a coincidence!" Yang Guanfeng exclaimed.
The murders outside and the murders in the village were actually the same murderer. They were presented in front of them in such a way!
"Have a good rest," Old Liu said. "I still have some things to deal with."
"OK, sorry to trouble you."
"We are friends. Besides, this is also my duty. You are too polite."
Comrade Old Liu left the room.
"Boss, isn't this too much of a coincidence?" the young man asked as soon as he left.
"Yes, what a coincidence!" Yang Guanfeng lit a cigarette.
"There is no way to verify it!" He looked outside. His eyes were deep behind the smoke.
The current situation could not be clearer. All the evidence pointed to Miao Qingshan. He was an important suspect in the murders in this stockade and in He County outside the stockade. That was because all the evidence pointed to him. However, he had escaped. He had absconded to avoid punishment, so there was no way to interrogate him.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"What should we do?" Yang Guanfeng asked. "Recuperate and leave this place!"
There would probably be no progress if they continued to stay there.
In a teahouse in He County, hundreds of miles away …
"Uncle Xu, you have lost a lot of weight these days." Guo Zhenghe poured a cup of tea for Xu Xinyuan, who was sitting opposite him.
"Thank you, Young Master."
"I've told you many times, don't call me that. It's really awkward to hear!"
"There are only two of us now." Xu Xinyuan drank a cup of tea and smiled.
"I have been to the village!"
"What?" Guo Zhenghe was shocked.
"The village is more mysterious than I thought. I almost couldn't get out when I went in," Xu Xinyuan said.
"Are you hurt?"
"It's just a minor injury. It won't get in the way."
"Don't be careless," Guo Zhenghe said. "That village is proficient in using poison and voodoo insects. Although I haven't seen it, I think it must be terrible."
"It's okay, I have my ways," Xu Xinyuan said. "I've already gone to the hospital for a check-up. Everything is normal. There's no problem."
He had indeed been to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, and he had indeed encountered danger. It was not as simple as he had made it out to be. He had almost not been able to get out after going in. The Valley of Thousands of Medicine was much more mysterious than he had imagined. Moreover, there was more than one master who was proficient in using poison and cold weapons. If he had not carried a weapon with him, he would have been trapped inside. Now that he thought about it, he still felt a little scared.
"Don't do such things in the future." Guo Zhenghe said. He was really worried about Xu Xinyuan now because he didn't have many people he could use. However, in this matter, only Xu Xinyuan could help.
"I just got the news that the murderer of this case has been found. It's that person from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine."
"Has the person been caught?" Xu Xinyuan hurriedly asked after hearing that.
"No, they ran away," Guo Zhenghe said as he leaned back in his chair. "They ran into the mountains. Captain Yang and his colleagues were poisoned. They are recuperating there."
In fact, he didn't care whether the person was caught or not. What he wanted was a result that everyone could accept. Those people had been killed. The murderer was a person named Miao Qingshan. He came from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, which was a rather mysterious place. That was enough.
He had an explanation for both the higher-ups and the lower-ups. As for whether or not he could catch the culprit, it was not his concern. It was not something he should care about. That was the job of the police department.
"What a coincidence," Xu Xinyuan said.
"Coincidence?"
"Yes," Xu Xinyuan said. "Yang Guanfeng and the others have only been in there for two days, yet they have already solved the case. Is it because he is really skilled, or is it because it is a coincidence that the Valley of Thousands of Medicine picked out a scapegoat? When the limelight is over, he can return to the stockade and live a normal life again. After all, no one goes to that place on weekdays, and he won't come out again."
"Are you saying that this is very likely to be a show directed by the mountain village, including the murder that just happened?"
"Murder case?" Xu Xinyuan was stunned after hearing it.
Then, Guo Zhenghe told him some of what he knew about the situation.
"The more I listen, the more it sounds like it was prepared long ago," Xu Xinyuan said. "They found a scapegoat and got rid of Yang Guanfeng. He was also poisoned. It is estimated that there will be some sequelae. It is also a warning to the outside world."
"In that case, the people in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine are very bold," Guo Zhenghe said.
"Indeed, and they are not as aloof from worldly affairs as the rumors say," Xu Xinyuan said. "Some people in the province have been keeping in touch with them. Most of them are powerful people. This time, Yang Guanfeng encountered considerable resistance when he went in to investigate."
Hmm!
Guo Zhenghe gently rubbed the exquisite teacup.
"I didn't expect such a bad * ss place to exist in southern Yunnan. Uncle Xu, do you think they will come out again?"
"It's hard to say, but I don't think they will for a while. The limelight is too tight. They will restrain themselves."
"Then why did they harm those 16 people?" Guo Zhenghe asked. "It was to do experiments. Isn't that a bit too crazy?"
"I don't know about that, but I will continue to investigate."
"Well, investigate further. Logically speaking, such a bad * ss place is not allowed to exist in southern Yunnan." Guo Zhenghe said, "Find out who those people are and what they want to do."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Be sure to pay attention to your safety."
"Yes."
In the Valley of Thousands of Medicine …
"Master."
"Are they all awake?"
"Alright, it's not a big deal."
"What about Qingshan?"
"I haven't found him yet."
"Is he really doing those things?"
"Yes."
"This child still hasn't untied the knot in his heart!" Miaoxi River's pale golden face was expressionless.
"Say hello to the people in the mountains and try to avoid hurting him as much as possible. After all, he is the only bloodline of the old patriarch."
"Yes, Master."
In another wooden house, Yang Guanfeng and his colleagues rested for a whole day and felt that they had basically recovered.
The next day, they found Miaoxi River and left.
"I suggest you rest for a while," the Miao Qingfeng advised. "The toxins in your bodies have not been completely removed. There are still a small amount of residual. Although it is not a big deal, it is still poison. It is better to completely remove it."
"How long will we have to wait?"
"A week."
"No, we still have work to do," Yang Guanfeng said. "We can't wait that long."
"Hmm, how about this? Wait a moment, I'll go talk to the patriarch and see if he has a better idea."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome." After the Miao Qingfeng left, Miaoxi River came with a clay jar.
"This is the antidote," Miaoxi River said. "Drink it and leave with a portion. Take it according to the amount within two days. The toxins in your bodies will be removed."
The medicine was very bitter and difficult to swallow. The two men frowned and drank it.
"Thank you."
"You were injured in our stockade," Miaoxi River said. "The people who hurt you were from the stockade. As the patriarch, I have an unshirkable responsibility."
"If there is anything you need us for in the future, please come here. We welcome you."
"Thank you," Yang Guanfeng said.
In this way, they refused the Miaoxi River's kindness of holding a banquet to see them off. The two men left the mountain village. Miao Qingfeng followed them.
"Well, we can leave here," Yang Guanfeng said.
"No, I have to take you to the nearest village. I am afraid Qingshan is nearby," Miao Qingfeng said.
"Thank you for your trouble." Yang Guanfeng thought it was right. After all, the guy was good at using poison. The two of them were not afraid of ordinary bandits, but it was still difficult to deal with such a strange person unless they found him early and subdued him with long-distance shooting.
Just like that, Miao Qingshan sent them all the way to the nearest village before leaving.
"Thank you, be careful when you go back alone."
"It's okay. I know a little about his abilities and methods. Besides, the patriarch gave me the medicine. Take care."
"Take care."
Miao Qingfeng said goodbye to the two men and disappeared into the woods.
"Let's go. Shall we go too?"
"Oh, thinking about it, the past few days in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine have been really exciting and exciting," the young man said. "It feels like a movie. If I go back and write a novel, many people will read it."
Yang Guanfeng did not speak. He just smoked quietly.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about Miao Qingfeng, Miao Qingshan, Miaoxi River, and their Valley of Thousands of Medicine."
"Don't think about it. Isn't the case closed?"
"Closed?" Yang Guanfeng asked.
"If the person is not caught, the case is not closed. At most, it is an unsolved case."
He still felt that something was wrong.
"What is wrong?"
