After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhenghe took a sip of tea and turned to Xu Xinyuan. "Have you heard about what happened in the county?"
"I heard about it. I'm sorry, Young Master."
"What do you have to be sorry about? It's none of your business." Guo Zhenghe smiled.
"I'm not doing my job well. There hasn't been any substantial progress so far. I haven't been able to help Young Master," Xu Xinyuan said.
His purpose of coming here was to help Guo Zhenghe solve the problem, but so far, he had indeed played a limited role. At the very least, he only had a clue about the continuous poisoning deaths, but he had no specific way to solve them.
"Uncle Xu, you don't have to blame yourself at all for this matter. The criminal investigation experts from the province have been here for a while. They are also badly battered and have made no progress," Guo Zhenghe said with a smile.
"But Uncle Xu, I'm very angry. These people are simply too arrogant. They have no regard for the law and treat human lives like grass." Guo Zhenghe lit a cigarette. He rarely smoked. He would only light two cigarettes when he was very happy or very unhappy. This time, it was obviously the latter. There was one more thing he didn't say. "This is his territory!"
"Yes." Xu Xinyuan nodded.
No matter who the other party was or what their purpose was, this was indeed extremely arrogant. They were openly going against the state's public weapon. They were courting death.
However, there was nothing they could do in a short period of time.
"A few days ago, I asked you to take a break and relax temporarily. Now, I have to go back on my words," Guo Zhenghe said.
"Young Master, if you have any orders, just say it."
"I want you to do your best to investigate this matter. Use all the resources you have at your disposal. Tell me what you want to do but can't, and I'll think of a way. In short, I want to know who did this. If I can't find out in a day, I'll use a week, a month, or even a year or two. I want to know who did it and bring them to justice!" Guo Zhenghe said sternly.
"Yes, Young Master," Xu Xinyuan replied.
"There is one more thing," Guo Zhenghe said. "I just received news that Yang Guanfeng, who is investigating in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, has come up with a way to seek help from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. The Valley of Thousands of Medicine has accepted their request and sent two people back with them to assist us in the investigation." He had just received a call to tell him the news.
"People from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?" Xu Xinyuan frowned slightly.
"Yes."
"But, they're the biggest suspects in these cases. Is it appropriate for them to get involved?"
"I think this is Captain Yang's idea. They probably have other ideas." Guo Zhenghe said, "The two people who went to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine this time are the best criminal investigation masters in southern Yunnan. They seem to have gained something in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but they don't have enough evidence. The suspect last time was also not caught. With the two masters working together, it's impossible that they didn't do anything."
"Harvest? Young Master, do you know what the harvest is?"
"I don't know." Guo Zhenghe shook his head.
"They have arrived."
In He County, there were four people in a private room in a guest house.
They were Lu Xiufeng and Yang Guanfeng, the two from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong.
They had driven all the way to He County without taking a break. Now, they could finally relax and take a break.
"Want a cigarette?" Lu Xiufeng took out a box of cigarettes. He pulled out a cigarette and gestured to Miao Changhong.
"Thank you, but I don't smoke." Miao Changhong waved his hand.
"Tsk, you don't smoke either?"
"Well, there are not many people in our stockade who smoke," Miao Changhong said. "Those who do smoke smoke smoke from tobacco pipes."
"Old Yang, here you go." Lu Xiufeng handed the cigarette to Yang Guanfeng.
People in their line of work were under a lot of pressure. They needed to release their pressure in certain ways, so basically, people in their line of work liked to smoke and drink.
"This time, I'll have to trouble the two of you," Yang Guanfeng said.
"Captain Yang, you are welcome," the Miao Qingfeng said. "This time, helping you is actually helping ourselves. We also want to find the criminal as soon as possible and prove our innocence." He was telling the truth.
"Come on, let's have a drink." Lu Xiufeng raised his glass.
"Cheers!" After that, he raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass.
The Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong also drank all the wine in their glasses.
"When we were in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, you were the one who entertained us. This time, it's our turn to entertain you. Of course, this time, we were in a hurry and didn't make any preparations. You guys should pay attention to it!" At the table, Lu Xiufeng was very good at talking. He was better than Yang Guanfeng in this regard.
"Captain Lu, you are too polite. It's already very sumptuous," the Miao Qingfeng hurriedly said.
The four of them drank a few glasses of wine and ate some dishes. They then settled the Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong in the guest house.
"The two of you should have a good rest. Tomorrow may be very busy."
"OK," the Miao Qingfeng said.
"Call us if you need anything."
After that, the two of them left the guest house and went to another residence. After arriving at the residence, the two of them got together to discuss matters related to the case.
"These two people are led by the Miao Qingfeng." Lu Xiufeng lit a cigarette.
"Yes, he should be selected by this stockade to deal with outside matters," Yang Guanfeng said. "He can be regarded as a spokesperson of their stockade outside." "The next key question is how we should play the role of the two of them to make a breakthrough in the case."
"This depends on the attitude of the two of them and how much real ability they have," Lu Xiufeng said.
"I'm going to tell them the details of the case tomorrow," Yang Guanfeng said. "Then, I'll take them to see the body of the victim."
"Well, I agree."
In the guest house, the Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong also got together.
"What should we do?" Miao Changhong asked. Although he was more than 10 years older than the Miao Qingfeng, he had to listen to the Miao Qingfeng, whether it was in or out of the stockade.
"According to the chief's instructions before we came out, we will do our best to cooperate with them to solve the case and try to find the murderer as soon as possible to prove the innocence of the stockade. At the same time, we have to pay attention to the way we do things. After all, we are outside, and there are two criminal investigation experts beside us. Try not to reveal too many of the stockade's unique secret techniques," the Miao Qingfeng said.
"OK, I got it."
The night passed peacefully.
In the morning, the sun rose as usual.
At 8 o 'clock in the morning, the four of them gathered together. Yang Guanfeng and Lu Xiufeng took the two people from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine to the local police station and introduced them to their colleagues. They then told them the details of the whole case. After that, they took them to see the bodies of the victims that had not yet been processed. They were just frozen.
After seeing the bodies, the two of them immediately became serious.
"Can we move the bodies?"
"Yes." Yang Guanfeng nodded and took out the gloves he had prepared.
"Put these on."
They then began to carefully examine the bodies. They examined all three bodies.
"It would have been better if we had come two days earlier," the Miao Qingfeng said after the examination was over.
"How is it?"
"It's certain that they were poisoned."
"What kind of poison?"
"It's hard to be sure." The Miao Qingfeng shook his head. "After all, we didn't see what they looked like when they died. After all, the bodies have been frozen. Some things can't be seen after the freezing process."
Yang Guanfeng was a little disappointed after hearing that. It didn't achieve the effect he had expected. He had thought that the two of them would be able to tell what kind of poison the victims had.
While they were talking, Miao Changhong was still carefully pinching the muscles of the corpses and knocking on their chests and abdomens.
"What did you find?" the Miao Qingfeng asked.
"It's a bit like the poison of the Five Poisons Stick," he said after thinking for a moment.
In terms of medicine and poison, Miao Changhong was better than the Miao Qingfeng. After all, he was more than a decade older than the Miao Qingfeng. He actually had considerable talent in medicine and poison.
"Five Poisons Stick? What is that?"
"It's a relatively common plant in the jungles of southern Yunnan," the Miao Qingfeng said. "It can be used as medicine to disperse cold and relieve pain. However, it is highly poisonous. You must be careful when using it. If the dosage is wrong, it may endanger your life."
"Are you sure it's this?"
"I'm just suspicious. After all, they have been dead for a few days," Miao Changhong said.
"Is there such a thing on the market?"
"It's very rare. The pharmacies nearby won't use this kind of medicine." The Miao Qingfeng said. "If you don't use it properly, you will get into big trouble. This is recorded in Chinese medicine books."
