Chapter 821 Since You're Here, Leave Your Life Behind
"Although Nancheng has been searched, it should not be difficult for him to hide temporarily with his ability. But there are three of them now, and it will be inconvenient for him to move with two people. Besides, since they are taking medicine to detoxify, they must be decocted, right? Bring all the suspicious people who have the smell of medicine in their homes and investigate them one by one." Jiang Youzhen ordered.
Tao Chendong suddenly understood and had to say that Jiang Youzhen’s brain was indeed sharp.
Feeling a little cold, Jiang Youzhen held on. After another half an hour, Jiang Chun and the others came to report.
"Sir, we searched all around this area and found three houses that smelled of medicine. When we went there, the whole house smelled of medicine."
"Bring him here for questioning." Jiang Youzhen ordered.
Soon the three families were brought over, one of whom was a young couple.
The second family is an elderly couple who live with their son and his family of three.
The third household was a widowed woman. When these three households came, they brought their own medicine residues and medicine jars.
Jiang Youzhen first walked up to the first young couple. She opened the medicine jar and smelled it, then opened the packaged medicine residue and took a look. Then she waved her hand and let them go.
Tao Chendong was very puzzled. "Since the person has been brought here, why not interrogate him?"
"Because this medicine contains medicinal materials such as mistletoe and eucommia bark, which are all pregnancy-stabilizing drugs. I think the woman just now was already pregnant, but the fetus was unstable, so the medicine was prescribed to preserve the fetus." Jiang Youzhen explained briefly.
Tao Chendong suddenly realized, but suddenly remembered, "You also know the art of medicine? You can actually identify the medicinal materials by smelling them?"
"I only know a few medicinal herbs, but I am not proficient in this."
The system had rewarded her with the "Herbal Illustrated Book" before, and she had carefully identified it in her spare time. She was familiar with some pharmacology, but she just couldn't diagnose.
They walked to the second house, and Jiang Youzhen still smelled the medicine jar and then the residue.
Jiang Youzhen's eyes suddenly shot out, "Has anyone in your family been poisoned?"
After she said this, Jiang Chun and the others immediately became alert.
The old man shivered, "Reply, reply sir, it was my eldest son, he went out of the city to the mountains to cut firewood today and was bitten by a snake."
"The snake has not yet woken up from hibernation, how could it bite people?" Tao Chendong's eyes were cold.
"Sir, he was really bitten by a snake. He really wasn't paying attention at the time and stepped on it. After the snake woke up, it turned around and bit the back of my hand."
The old man asked his eldest son to stretch out his hand. Jiang Youzhen saw that the back of his hand was dark blue with two holes. There was also a piece of cloth tied above his arm, which was consistent with the characteristics of being bitten by a snake and first aid.
When Tao Chendong took a look, it really looked like a snake bite.
Jiang Youzhen said nothing and walked to the next house.
If you follow the same method, this is obviously a medicine for treating external injuries. The old woman accidentally cut her leg while chopping wood.
After Jiang Youzhen confirmed it, he waved his hand and let him leave.
"We have almost finished searching the South City area. Did we overlook something? Maybe we dealt with it after boiling the medicine?"
Tao Chendong frowned, "We followed the blood trail to search before, but it was cut off at South City. South City is indeed suspicious, but it doesn't stop them from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, deliberately leading us to South City."
Jiang Youzhen suddenly said, "Let's go to the abandoned City God Temple and take a look."
"It has been searched before." Tao Chendong shook his head.
“Are there no beggars lingering in the abandoned City God Temple?”
"Of course there are, but we didn't see it when we went there." Tao Chendong said, suddenly remembering something.
"Let's go! To the City God Temple!"
"Wait a minute! Let's not make a big fuss this time. I'll take some good fighters with me. Lord Tao, please wait here for a while to avoid alerting the enemy."
"But you are injured. Can you catch the ghost and the masked man with only a few people?"
"It will be useless even if we bring more people with us. They will be discovered. I hope they haven't left the City God Temple yet. Now the whole city is being searched, and the City God Temple has been searched, so they will definitely let down their guard."
Jiang Youzhen pointed a few people to the City God Temple and prepared to conduct a secret investigation.
At this moment, in the City God Temple, the ghost brought the boiled medicine over. He looked at the mask on the face of the person lying on the ground. How could he drink the medicine without taking off the mask?
Anyway, this person is already unconscious, so it doesn't matter if he just takes a look at his true face, right?
Although there are rules in their underworld that forbid checking the identity of the customer, the person is unconscious, so it would be a waste not to check.
Just as he reached for the mask, ready to take it away, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Then a hoarse voice came immediately, "Anyone who has seen my true face must die."
The ghost was startled, then broke free, "Aren't you already unconscious from the poison?"
"Where's the antidote? Bring it here quickly." The masked man urged without further ado.
"Here! Here you go, but I didn't get the banknote today when I went out."
Seeing the antidote right in front of him, the masked man felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat. He turned his back, took off his mask, and spat.
Seeing the blood spurting out of his mouth turn dark black, he took a deep breath, picked up the antidote and was about to drink it all.
Fortunately, the poison in the needle was not common, but it was not overbearing. If it was a rare poison, he would not have survived until now.
It seems that I have to collect some detoxification pills for future use, otherwise I will be as passive as today.
After waiting for a while, he really felt better. It seemed that this doctor was quite capable, which surprised him. It was just a prefecture city, but there was actually a miracle doctor.
"Why didn't I get the banknotes, but the bank was unwilling to give them to me?" He thought that Lu Shengyuan had been killed by him. Could it be that the bank had already received the news?
"Jiang Youzhen is so smart that he actually sent people to ambush me in the bank. If I hadn't disguised myself today and taken the opportunity to escape, I would have been caught by them. But Jiang Youzhen was not there at the time, otherwise it would have been difficult for me to escape."
Guimei was very fortunate. He now felt that even if he had disguised himself, Jiang Youzhen had never seen his true face, but he just felt that Jiang Youzhen would recognize him.
"It seems like she knows something about you? Have you met before?" the masked man asked puzzledly.
"I took on a mission from the Salt Gang before and fought him."
"He could actually predict that you would ask me for money. He is worthy of being a world-famous strategist." The masked man found it incredible that Jiang Youzhen could actually calculate this.
"Then can we still leave the city?" Guimei was a little worried.
In the past, he thought that no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there were, they would be vulnerable in the face of strength. However, after meeting Jiang Youzhen, he realized that killing people with tricks could be done without bloodshed.
"Why leave the city? Since you're here, you might as well leave your life here." Suddenly, several figures jumped in from the window one after another.
