It was almost evening when Yang Qingyuan and his party returned to Wannian County.
In the Guanyi where a group of people from Dali Temple lived.
"Sir, what can you gain from going up the mountain today!?"
Yang Qingyuan heard this and said, "Not only are there gains, but the gains are not small!"
"oh?!"
Yang Qingyuan took Song Huifu and Hu Die to a room, ordered two Dali Temple police officers to guard outside the door, and then led the two people into the room.
"Look, you two!"
Yang Qingyuan pointed at a piece of dead wood.
When Song Hui's father saw the white rods remaining on the dead wood, he looked solemn and said, "Sir, you have found the white rods!"
"Yes! Today, I went up the mountain under the leadership of a hunter who used to collect white rod mushrooms, and went to see the place where he used to collect white rod mushrooms!"
"How is the result?!"
Hu Die on the side understood very well and immediately picked up Yang Qingyuan's words so as not to make the atmosphere awkward.
"The place where he collected the mushrooms is completely inconsistent with the living environment of the white rod bug. If there is really a white rod bug in that place, at most one day, the white rod mushroom will look like what you see.
, only the umbrella pole is left, and it is dry and dehydrated!”
Song Hui's father looked solemn, and now the facts are confirming their suspicions that day.
"While going down the mountain, we found this dead wood next to a forest! It is the carrier of the growth of the white rod fungus! The white rod fungus grows and reproduces by absorbing the essence of the dead wood!"
"This piece of dead wood is also in an eye-catching place!"
"That's right!"
This dead tree is also next to a forest. You only need to take a few steps into it to find it.
At this time, the canopy of the white rod fungus on the dead wood has fallen off, so it is not so conspicuous.
"Furthermore, I also sent people to ask several other mountain people who had collected the white rod Gu. The answers were all without exception. When these people found the white rod Gu, they were always in conspicuous places, as if they had fallen from the sky.
It didn’t come off yesterday, but it suddenly grew out the next day!”
Song Huifu nodded and said, "Now it can be confirmed that these white rod mushrooms were indeed deliberately released by someone."
"Not only that, I also found irrefutable proof!"
"What evidence!" Hu Die continued to praise.
"That's this dead wood!" Yang Qingyuan pointed to the dead wood and said, "This kind of wood is called red bean ironwood! Because of its tough texture, martial arts practitioners often use it to make wooden weapons for practice. It grows in Ganzhou and Jiaozhou,
There are no such trees in Minzhou, Lingnan and other places, but in Gyeonggi Province."
The white rod fungus was too unpopular in the past and was only recorded in a miscellany, making it difficult to use as evidence. However, there are many people who know about this red bean and ironwood fungus, which is enough to use it as evidence.
"My lord, I have gained a lot from this trip to the mountains! But thanks to my extensive knowledge, I was able to find the flaws in this white rod Gu fungus."
Song Hui's father couldn't help but praise.
"Mr. Song, don't rush to praise me! Today's harvest is more than that!"
"oh?!"
"When we went up the mountain, the mountain fire had already been extinguished, so we went to Sanhe Village, which was hit by the mountain fire."
"Sanhe Village!" Hu Die was impressed by the name, "Isn't that Yaya's home?!"
"That's right! I made a discovery in Sanhe Village!" Yang Qingyuan confirmed, "Because Sanhe Village is located deep in the mountains, there was no time to escape when the mountain fire broke out! All the villagers in the village died in the mountain fire.
Turn into charcoal!"
"What do you mean, sir?!"
"Sir, why do you think Sanhe Village is called Sanhe Village!?"
Without waiting for Song Hui's father to answer, Yang Qingyuan said, "Sanhe Village is where three small rivers converge in Cuihua Mountain. The ancestors of the mountain people built the village along the water, and this is how Sanhe Village came to be! The river is just a stone's throw away from Sanhe Village.
between!"
Song Hui's father fully understood what Yang Qingyuan meant. There were rivers all around, but the villagers of Sanhe Village were burned alive!
Yang Qingyuan originally thought that the charred corpse was strange and did not think of this aspect. However, when Yang Qingyuan raised his head and saw Li Mochou, he immediately thought of Li Mochou's escape by using water that day.
Survival is an instinct engraved in human bones. When encountering fire! When you see the river, you will naturally jump into the water.
Although the fire was so fierce that day, even if you jumped into the water, you might be killed by the smoke and might not survive. It was really suspicious to be burned alive by a river!
Hu Die, who was on the side, asked after thinking, "Sir, could it be that these people were in their sleep, unprepared, waiting for the mountain fire to approach, and had no way to escape, so they were burned to death by the fire!"
"This possibility does not exist. I surveyed the surrounding environment of Sanhe Village. There are two small rivers to the east and one to the west. The three rivers converge in the south of the village! Only the north is connected to the woods. In other words, the fire
The only way is to burn it from the north and then set the whole village on fire!"
"Most of the charred corpses were outside the houses. If according to what you said, it was because the fire was too strong to escape into the river! Then how can the mountain fire burn so that the villagers of Sanhe Village do not escape into the river?
Chance?!"
"There is only one possibility! When the wildfire arrives, they cannot move and can only be burned into cokes by the wildfire!"
Song Hui's father was involved in the professional field, and his temperament changed instantly, "Sir, have you ever brought back the bodies of these dead people!?"
Yang Qingyuan replied, "It's getting dark today. I ordered Qian Wufang, the leader of Liumen, to take the people from Wannian County to Cuihua Mountain to carry the body early tomorrow morning!"
"What do you think of this, sir?!"
"I agree with Mr. Huifu! Someone should have subdued the villagers first, or killed them first, and then destroyed the corpses in a mountain fire to eliminate traces! As for the specific results, we will have to wait for Mr.'s autopsy to make a conclusion!"
Yang Qingyuan then asked, "Have you found any clues in Wannian County!?"
Hu Die smiled slightly, "Of course! You are not the only one who is working hard to solve this case!"
As he spoke, Hu Die took out two stacks of rosters from his sleeves and said, "When I was sorting out the roster of the dead, I discovered a clue!"
"Oh?! What is it?"
"Sir, do you still remember that the first person to suffer from the poison was Wannian County School!"
"That's right, many people from the county school were poisoned and died, so that's why Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were alerted!?"
"When I was looking through the list of the deceased, I found that the cook from the Wannian County School was a son-in-law! And his family members also died after eating white bacterium mushrooms! Because he was a child-in-law, he was registered in the county school
The surname was inconsistent with the one registered in the household registration, so it was not discovered at first.”
"oh?!"
Yang Qingyuan and Song Huifu frowned at the same time!
If this is the case, then this matter is worth pondering!
A chef at a county school not only made a pot of poisonous mushroom soup, poisoning the entire county school, but even his own family members died from eating the white rod mushroom by mistake!
