Song Hui's father shook his head, "Many corpses have been taken away and buried by relatives and friends. I have roughly inspected the remaining corpses. At present, I can only confirm that the cause of death was poisoning."
Hu Die also walked in.
"Song Chief, Zhang Baotou, I also went to Hu Cao in Wannian County to investigate the social relationships and relatives and in-laws of these people. There is not much connection between the deceased!"
Although I had thought about it before, the case is still in trouble at this moment.
"Have the people from Liumen found those mountain people selling mushrooms?!"
Hu Die smiled bitterly, "I wonder if God is also against us! The mountain fire the day before yesterday made it impossible to get up the mountain!"
"The mountain fire has been extinguished!"
Liu Wangshu dropped his sword from a high place, falling like a butterfly, light and graceful.
"ah?!"
Liu Wangshu's lips parted slightly, "I just went to see it. Yesterday's heavy rain has basically extinguished the mountain fires! Now we can go up the mountain!"
This time when Yang Qingyuan came out to investigate the case, he only brought Liu Wangshu and Li Mochou with him. Ji Yaohua was left in Shendu by Yang Qingyuan because she wanted to take charge of the overall situation.
Li Mochou was fine, but Liu Wangshu and Ji Yaohua could rest assured that she and Yang Qingyuan would come out?! If Liu Wangshu took advantage of the opportunity, wouldn't he have no place to cry?!
So Ji Yaohua strongly recommended Hu Die to assist Yang Qingyuan in the investigation.
Hu Die is Ji Yaohua's die-hard fan girl. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about her abilities. As Ji Yaohua's deputy, her professional level will definitely not be low. She is also from the Sixth Gate. She has many acquaintances in the Sixth Gate and is well behaved.
To make it easier, Yang Qingyuan took Hu Die with him.
"Hu Die, I'll leave this to you and Mr. Huifu! I'll find a mountain man to check out the place on the mountain where I found the White Bacillus mushroom!"
The people in Dali Temple were divided into two waves. Yang Qingyuan took Li Mochou and Liu Wangshu to the mountains, while Hu Die and Song Huifu continued to search for clues in Wannian County.
Yang Qingyuan found a hunter who lived next to Wannian County from the previous case files. He was also captured by Wannian County police after he was poisoned. However, after finding out that the mushrooms were collected unintentionally, Wannian County
The order did not impose a heavy sentence.
For most of the people who collected mushrooms and sold them, they were only punished with two years of hard labor. After being punished with a cane and a fine, they were released.
Most of them live in the mountains on the outskirts, but this person's residence is close to Wannian County.
"Are you Liu Hu?!"
Orion Liu Hu looked at the group of officials in black uniforms in front of him and felt a little panicked.
After swallowing and calming down, he said slightly nervously, "Dear officials, haven't the previous cases been closed?! The county magistrate has also sentenced him, is there anything else?!"
"This is Mr. Zhang from Dali Temple in the capital! I want to ask you about some matters related to the case! You must answer truthfully!"
Ye Chen was left in the hospital to take care of the two survivors. Assisting Yang Qingyuan today was another agent Qian Wufang.
"Liu Hu, don't be nervous! I'm just here to ask some questions, not to hold you accountable again!"
When Liu Hu heard this, he didn't want to continue to pursue the case, and his heart was relieved.
"Sir, if you want to know anything, just ask! I will tell you the truth, little one!"
"Where in the mountains did you pick your mushrooms?"
Yang Qingyuan got straight to the point.
"On the mountain road on the roadside of Shangcuihua Mountain, the little man went up the mountain that day to hunt some game. On a dead tree on the roadside, he saw many mushrooms growing! These mushrooms have always sold well in the county town. The little man wanted to catch some game.
People picked them and brought them to the county town to sell them!"
"Master Zhang! I really don't know that these mushrooms are poisonous. Otherwise, even if I have the courage, I wouldn't dare to sell them to so many people!"
"Yeah." Yang Qingyuan nodded, "Then do you still remember where the mushroom picking place is?!"
"Remember! Remember! It's on a mountain road up the mountain. It's easy to find!"
"Well, you take us to have a look! If we can find it, Dali Temple will certainly not miss your bounty!"
When Liu Hu heard that he was just going to lead the way and there was a bounty, he immediately cheered up and rushed towards Cuihua Mountain with Yang Qingyuan and his entourage.
Arriving at the foot of Cuihua Mountain, Yang Qingyuan raised his eyes and saw that Cuihua Mountain was now turning green and black, and patches of it were scorched black. This was the trace left by the mountain fire.
It can only be said that we were lucky enough to encounter heavy rain and extinguish the mountain fire. Otherwise, with the technology of this era, we could only establish a fire isolation zone and let it burn until it was extinguished.
Under the leadership of Liu Hu, a group of people traveled on the difficult mountain road.
Although the mountain road was muddy, there was no muddy water on Yang Qingyuan's official boots.
Yang Qingyuan's Qinggong is already the best in the world. He can step on the snow without leaving a trace, nothing more than that.
Liu Wangshu on the side did not hesitate to give in. Although not as good as Yang Qingyuan, his white boots were not stained with mud and water and were as clean as new.
Although Li Mochou's Qing Kung is not as good as Yang Liu's two, the ancient tomb's Qing Kung is already good. There is a little mud on the soles, but the uppers are still as good as new.
Based on this, the three people's Qinggong skills can be seen at a glance.
Liu Hu walked to a path, stopped, and then pointed to the tree with a huge canopy in the distance and said: "Master Zhang, the villain is nearby! I found those harmful things."
Yang Qingyuan, led by Liu Hu, came to the foot of the tree.
Yang Qingyuan took a general look at the surrounding environment. It was already autumn, and many leaves on the tree crowns had fallen off.
There are also many scorch marks near this big tree. It seems that the wildfire has spread to this area!
If not for this thunderstorm, this towering tree would probably have been reduced to a section of charred wood.
However, a wildfire and a heavy rain also washed away all traces of the surrounding area. It would be extremely difficult to find any clues now.
"Where did this mushroom grow at that time?"
Yang Qingyuan could only continue to ask Liu Hu, who was picking mushrooms at the time.
"Master Zhang, it is just to the east of this tree. You can see it at a glance from the mountain road! It grows on a dead tree. It is densely packed with trees. But now the dead tree has disappeared!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Hu did not hesitate at all. These mushrooms almost cost him his life and harmed so many people! Of course, he was deeply impressed by this and will not forget it easily.
.
"Visible at a glance?!" Yang Qingyuan murmured, then walked slowly back to the main road and turned to look in the direction of the giant tree.
Unreasonable, the growth location of these mushrooms is unreasonable!
The white-rod fungus prefers a dark and humid environment, and avoids direct sunlight. Once it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the white-rod fungus will quickly curl up, and then the umbrella cover will fall off, leaving only the umbrella handle.
Sunlight can be seen from anywhere on the mountain road that can be seen with the naked eye.
If it is on the shady side of a giant tree, and the canopy of the tree blocks it, it can also avoid direct sunlight. Mushrooms may not be unable to grow, but the shady side of the giant tree is impossible to see from this mountain road.
These mushrooms must have been placed in a conspicuous place by someone specifically for people to pick them.
After confirming that there were no clues here, Yang Qingyuan asked Liu Hu to lead the way and continued walking up the mountain.
"Sir, after passing through the forest in front, we will reach Mikawa Village."
"Mikawa Village?!"
Yang Qingyuan heard this name again.
"Yes, in front of you is the place where three small rivers meet in Cuihua Mountain. Sanhe Village was built next to it, so it was named Sanhe Village!"
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!!"
Everyone was practicing martial arts, and Liu Hu was also a hunter who traveled over mountains and ridges all year round. He passed through the forest in front of him without much effort.
When everyone passed by, the forest had been completely burned by the raging fire, leaving only a piece of charcoal.
There was still water on the ground from last night's heavy rain. Despite this, everyone could still feel a rising heat under their feet.
The previous wildfires were fierce! The Wannian County government officials and Liumenmen policemen, as well as the Wannian County city defense army, could only evacuate some mountain residents, remove fallen leaves and dead trees, and establish a fire zone. As for the deep mountains
There is nothing Wannian County can do about the residents among them.
But at this moment, the mountain fire was extinguished, and after Yang Qingyuan led people closer, they discovered that Sanhe Village had turned into a living hell.
Burnt corpses were lying everywhere on the ground. Because the fire was not strong enough, human skeletons could still be seen, but because the fire was too strong, the corpses were all reduced to charcoal.
"This fire is really big!?"
Li Mochou looked at the broken walls and ruins under the fire and couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Wangshu didn't speak, but just nodded. Although she was a peerless female swordsman with heroic swordsmanship and no mercy for men, Liu Wangshu couldn't help but feel sad when faced with such a scene!
Yang Qingyuan stared at the corpse on the ground and felt strange, and asked Qian Wufang beside him.
"Qian Captou, the volcano burned up at night, right!?"
"Yes! According to what a mountain man said, he witnessed a thunderbolt hitting a tree and igniting it. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary lightning strike, but in the middle of the night, the fire was already burning more and more! Ying!
Half the sky of Cuihua Mountain turned red!"
Yang Qingyuan did not speak. After taking a look at Li Mochou, he discovered the problem. However, Yang Qingyuan did not say it directly. He just said, "Captain Qian, when you come down from the mountain later, you still need to bring the Wannian County policemen with you."
Bring these back to the city. Although it is obvious that he died in the fire, he still needs to report after the autopsy, and the procedures that should be followed cannot be skipped!"
"yes!"
Sanhe Village was originally the address of Grandma Li's family. Unexpectedly, it was burned down in the fire. Now Yaya really doesn't even have a home!
Yang Qingyuan had people search it carefully, but found nothing.
"Then let's go down the mountain first!"
He returned along the original route, but when passing through a forest, Yang Qingyuan discovered something unusual.
Among the woods, there is a dead tree that does not belong to this forest, or even to Cuihua Mountain. There are some dried white rod mushrooms on it that have fallen off.
The evidence Yang Qingyuan wanted was found. This dead tree was the ironclad evidence that someone was causing trouble behind the scenes.
"Move this dead wood back!"
Yang Qingyuan said to the accompanying Dali Temple field staff.
Although everyone didn't know what Yang Qingyuan's purpose was, it was always right to obey orders.
