After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 470

  Chapter 470 Wansong and Prunella vulgaris

  Jiao Yu flicked his tail: "Inspector has long been a false title."

  General Ling was stunned: "He represents Lingxu City, that is to say, Lingxu City knows that these murderers killed my people to get pearls?"

  Running all the way will not hinder the conversation of these monsters, Jiao Yu shook his head: "The forces in Lingxu City are complicated and complex, and they cannot be summed up in a simple word."

He Lingchuan continued: "There is a paradox here. Zhong Sunmou said that the demon emperor... er, the emperor thought that the killing of the White-shouldered Eagle Messenger was done by spies, so he sent him down to investigate, but Zhong Sunmou knew that killing the demon and taking about the pearls."

  He Lingchuan sighed: "The water is very deep, I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

  He smelled conspiracy.

  Jiao Yu couldn't help but said: "If Zhong Sunmou knew that he missed a word, and you analyzed so many things, he would regret it so much that his guts would turn green."

  He Lingchuan smiled: "I don't think he may be a regretful one."

   "The most annoying thing is that these things have something to do with Lingxu City." Jiao Yu looked a little irritable, "There has never been a good result."

  The news that the special envoy of the prince of Chiyan Kingdom left Shuanglu Town overnight was soon reported to Zhong Sunmou.

  Zhong Sunmou was stunned: "What, where do you think they are going?"

   "Going east."

  What's on the east side? They came from the east, are they going to go back to the old way now?

   And it was still overnight.

  What important clues can the surname He receive?

  But the clues in Zhong Sunmou's hands all point to the north.

  He thought for a moment and then said: "Send someone to follow and have a look."

  As for himself, he stood still and prepared to set off for Qizhou the next morning.

  The return journey was not as urgent as when he came, and he had to slow down when walking at night, so it took He Lingchuan an extra hour to arrive in Youtian Town.

  It was late at night, and there was no one in the town, not even a dog barking.

  There were so many messy things happening in the town, Baishi county magistrate spent a lot of effort to deal with them during the day, only to feel that the blood tank was emptied, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow at night, snoring like thunder.

  Fortunately, he continued to have the dream of last night, and after finishing the burning banquet, he embarked on the standard procedure, promotion, fortune, and death of his wife.

  He was enjoying the spring breeze here, and suddenly his shoulders were shaken violently: "Wake up, wake up!"

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his own yellow-faced woman's frowning eyebrows: "What are you dreaming about, smiling so lewdly?"

   "Nothing..." No, he was woken up! The county magistrate became more courageous, "Why are you arguing with me in the middle of the night!"

   "The county government came to report, saying that the special envoy of the prince has come again, and the prisoner is now being tried in the prison."

"ah?"

  At this time, He Lingchuan, relying on his special envoy status, had already re-examined Wan Dahu in the prison.

  At this time, Wan Dahu was ashamed and troubled, how could he have the energy in the morning? He Lingchuan saw that the fingers of his hands were bruised and swollen, obviously he had been tortured and suffered a lot. This person is also used to being pampered. After a day of suffering, he becomes obedient, basically answering every question.

  He Lingchuan asked for a confession to read.

  Although he, Jiao Yu and others left the town in a hurry, the county government still had its own set of procedures to go, so they arrested Wan Dahu for trial.

   There is a new message on the confession:

  The address of Wan Song, the nephew of Wan Dahu.

  This guy didn't do well in his early years. Although Wan Dahu found him something to do, it was only for food and clothing. However, he bought a house in the town the year before last. Although it is not a luxury house, at least he can live comfortably.

  In addition, Wan Song also purchased a few acres of paddy fields, and became a real landlord, realizing the transition of class.

   "Sure enough, the money comes from the wrong way." He Lingchuan looked at it and said, "How much money has he made in the past few years by catching monsters and getting pearls?"

   "I, I don't know too well." Wan Dahu whispered, "He never told me."

At this time, Baishi county magistrate also rushed over, and said to He Lingchuan: "My lord special envoy, we have sent people to Wan Song's house to keep an eye on; in addition, the county has a unified caliber to the outside world, only saying that Wan Xianneng is serious about tax evasion, so we came to investigate, so as not to The wind leaked."

   "Yes, it's done well." He Lingchuan asked Wan Dahu again, "He didn't marry a wife and have children?"

   "Uh, no."

   "That means having a girlfriend?" When a man has money, how many things can he miss?

   "Yes, yes, I know that he often goes to Lancuifang, and his acquaintance is called Qinggu."

  He Lingchuan looked at the confession, there was no record on it.

   "When does Wan Song usually go home?"

   "He comes back whenever he wants, irregularly, and sometimes disappears for several months and then reappears suddenly." Wan Dahu said weakly, "My lord, that's all I know."

   "Since Wan Song usually hangs around outside, it's not easy to take care of these properties." He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Is it all entrusted to you?"

"…Yes."

   "Then why didn't I see the list?"

  Wandahu said that I will write it right away.

   But his hand was swollen like a carrot, and he couldn't even hold the pen steadily. Baishi County Magistrate immediately took the pen and paper, and dipped his hands in ink: "I'll do it!"

   Next, it will be said by Wanda Hukou, and handwritten by Baishi County Magistrate.

  Wan Song's property is not much, a house, seven acres of paddy fields, five acres of medicine fields, two shops, and a warehouse close to the medicine fields, so the price is very cheap.

   "Warehouse?" He Lingchuan pointed to this one and asked, "He's not a merchant, what can a warehouse hold?"

"Herbs harvested from the field." Wan Dahu swallowed, "He also asked me to help buy herbs on a regular basis, and store them in the warehouse. Every once in a while, he will come back to resell the herbs and empty the warehouse. "

  The county magistrate of Baishi was annoyed: "You didn't talk about such an important matter before?" Why didn't this surname Wan say this when he tried the case?

   "This, this is a trivial matter." Wan Dahu muttered, "I don't think it's worth mentioning."

  He Lingchuan stared at him and said, "Your nephew is only good at killing people, but he doesn't know anything about business. Don't you find it strange that he resells herbs himself?"

  After meeting Hong Chenglue, he realized that there are really people in the world who can't do business, who lose money out of ten, and even pawned their underwear for the last time.

   "I, I..." Of course Wan Dahu knew that his nephew was making excuses at random, but he just didn't care.

   "Remember our agreement?" He Lingchuan yawned, and he was still a little sleepy after running around for more than ten hours. "If you are dishonest, the agreement will be voided!"

   "I don't know where he sold the herbs, and I haven't seen the seller!" Dahu Wan hurriedly said, "But every time the warehouse is empty, it's true!"

   "What herbs does he use?"

  Wan Dahu read out a list of medicine names.

   are common medicinal materials, and it is really easy to collect them in Zhitian Township.

  Seeing that the Wan Dahu family has been squeezed out and there is no dry goods left, He Lingchuan stood up and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, very rewarding."

   Then he gave a few words to the county magistrate Baishi, and took the monster who was listening the whole time to the inn.

  I feel that I still have to sleep, and investigating the case is very energy-consuming.

   An hour and a half later, that is, when it was dawn, He Lingchuan woke up.

  He woke up the sleeping old sheep downstairs, and everyone went to unlock the new location:

   Wan Song's house.

  This guy has a good eye for choosing a location, so he chose a lake and pond in the west of the town to find a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. The area of ​​the house is actually larger than that of Mr. Mai, at least seven or eight hundred square meters. Almost every house can enjoy sunlight, and the windows are bright and clean.

  Before entering the door, He Lingchuan saw a white-faced owl on the big tree beside the house. This guy stood on one leg and was still stable, looking at them expressionlessly.

  The magistrate of Baishi County said that there are special people watching Wanzhai, and they are accidentally discovered.

   It's actually not a human being, but this owl demon.

   But obviously Wan Song never came home, at least the owl didn't see it, otherwise it would fly to the county to call the police.

  He Lingchuan and Jiao Yu walked around the house a few times, but found no useful clues.

  They could tell that Wan Song didn't live here often, because there were only a few sets of clothes in the cabinet, and there were only two or three dirty dishes left unwashed in the kitchen.

  He Lingchuan suddenly said: "This guy is far less meticulous than Mr. Mai."

  In Mr. Mai's house, everything is placed in the right place, meticulous; but in Wan Song's house, the arrangement of objects is more casual. There is a notebook in the kitchen, and a few dried grapefruit peels are falling in the yard.

  Jiao Yu turned to the backyard, and the tiger's nose was on the ground, sniffing around, sneezing from time to time.

   "Smell?"

   "Mmm." Jiao Yu was still circling, "That monster's smell is everywhere! It's been here for a long time."

  Wan Song's backyard is also a piece of mud, but it is not planted with plants like Mr. Mai's, but it is directly abandoned, and there are sundries everywhere.

  He Lingchuan picked up a bit of soil and rubbed it on his hands: "It's so damp, you can almost pinch water. It seems that we have found its old nest."

   The humidity was so strong that even he could smell it.

   "The lake is outside." General Ling stretched out his hooves to dig in the mud a few times, "What should we find?"

  He Lingchuan's eyes wandered around in the mud, and when he saw something that General Ling had dug out of the mud, he suddenly walked over to pick it up, and spread it in his hand for a closer look.

   This is a small spike with several small purple flowers growing on it.

  He asked General Ling: "Do you know what this is?"

  General Ling came over to sniff it, and moved his mouth a few times: "Oh, this is Prunella vulgaris. I have eaten it."

  He is the leader.

  He Lingchuan said: "Prunella vulgaris is planted in Mr. Mai's backyard."

"This kind of grass is very common in Zhitian Township. It exists in the fields. I have seen farmers cut it to feed pigs and rabbits. It doesn't even need special planting." General Ling said, "Maybe Mr. Mai didn't grow it, it grows by itself. from."

   "In this muddy field, have you ever seen the Prunella vulgaris growing by yourself?"

  The weeds in this field fell down, as if they were crushed by heavy objects. But General Ling looked around, and found that the roots of those few plants of Prunella vulgaris were exposed, and they did not fall to the soil.

   Like someone spilled it on the ground.

  General Ling didn't understand: "What's so important about this Prunella vulgaris?"

   Isn't it just herbs that can be seen everywhere?

   "Prunella, Prunella..." He Lingchuan vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard of this herb from someone.

   I have revised the opening chapter of "Immortal", please don't mind.

   In fact, this is the beginning of the earliest original version of "Immortal". It was only changed as a last resort for the submission review, and now it has been changed back.
