Chapter 455: Fake Monk and Fake Doctor

Malu followed Qin Feng into the small house where he lived, and as soon as the door was closed, Qin Feng lowered his voice.

"Who are you? Qin has no descendants in Yuchang County."

Ma Lu said, "But didn't you have a friend before? He was from Yuchang County, and his nickname was Liu Huozui."

Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, "Liu Huozui died three years ago."

"Then do you know how he died?"

Qin Feng's eyes became alert when he heard this, "What is your relationship with him?"

"His son suspected that he was not killed by evil spirits, but was murdered by someone, so he asked me to investigate. He also said that you happened to return to Yuchang County a month before his father died, and his father has been restless ever since then."

Qin Feng shook his head. "That's all old news. What good would it do if we found out the truth? Besides, some things are better left unknown."

Ma Lu raised his eyebrows. "Why, the person who killed Liu Huozui is very powerful? How did you know that person was going to kill Liu Huozui?"

"Don't try to get any information from me," Qin Feng said in a very strict tone, "Although Liu Huozui is my good friend, I also know that he is not a good person. His death is his retribution.

"It is unwise for you to come to Wohugang just to investigate an old case from three years ago. Go down the mountain as soon as possible while Dalang is still here."

Ma Lu said, "Don't rush to chase us away. There is one more thing. About half a month ago, a fake monk came to Wolonggang. His name is Guangyin. Do you know which village he is in?"

Qin Feng frowned. "Aren't you entrusted by the Liu family to investigate Liu Huozui's death? How come you are related to the monk? Is this person also involved in the murder case back then?"

"No, this is another matter. Wohugang is full of bandits. It is not easy to come up on weekdays. It is a rare trip for me, so I must do more things before I can go back." Malu said seriously.

"........."

Qin Feng was silent for a while and then said, "I did hear that a monk came to Wohugang before. Someone died in Xinghua Village some time ago, and they also had a big deal that was not going well.

"We ran into a tough guy. Seven or eight people died in total, so Hong Xinghua went to find a monk to perform a ritual in the village to drive away the bad luck. After the ritual was completed..."

"Then the monk was detained by her?"

"No, Hong Xinghua is very trustworthy. She gave the silver to the monk as agreed before. But when the monk saw Hong Xinghua's appearance, he fell in love with her and said he didn't want to leave at all and didn't want the silver. He just stayed in Xinghua Village.

"As for whether that monk is the Guangyin you mentioned, I have no idea."

"what?"

Malu didn't expect that Guangyin was actually left by him. This fake monk was so bold that he even dared to covet the beauty of the bandit leader.

But in this way, the matter that Manager Wan entrusted to him was finally completed.

Malu then looked around and saw that the hut was quite simple. Apart from a wooden bed and a table, there was almost nothing else.

Qin Feng's clothes were tattered and he was thin, unlike the three bandits from the Black Tiger Village he met at the foot of the mountain before who had broad heads and big ears, so he asked curiously.

"Have you had a bad time in the mountains these years?"

Qin Feng sighed, "I worked as a policeman in my early years, and I felt that the officialdom was treacherous and full of too many shameful and dirty deeds. Later, someone kidnapped the prisoners I was escorting, and my superiors wanted me to take the blame, so I simply ran to this Wohugang and became a bandit.

"At that time, I thought it would be nice to be a bandit without any restrictions, but after entering the Black Tiger Village, I realized that being a bandit is just as complicated as being in the officialdom. Not only are the four major villages on Wohugang fighting overtly and covertly every day, but there are also undercurrents in the villages.

"Even if we are brothers, we still have to be wary of plots. I didn't know anything when I first came in, and I joined the wrong people. In addition, I was a yamen runner before. Although they call me brother, they never really trust me. They only assign me some hard work such as guarding the gate and patrolling the mountain." "Then do you want to go down the mountain with me?" Ma Lu said, "I can take you with me when I leave."

Qin Feng shook his head again, "When I was a policeman, I caught a criminal and became a bandit. Even if I go down the mountain, I have nowhere to go. It's better for me to stay in the village.

"Although the Du brothers are greedy for money and lustful, they are still pretty good to the elderly in the village. At least I won't starve to death if I stay here, and I can live a few more years."

As he said this, he noticed that the young man opposite him was looking at him with a very strange look, so he asked.

"how?"

"There's something wrong with your face."

When Malu first saw Qin Feng, he noticed that his cheeks were red, but it was night time and he couldn't see it clearly, so Malu just thought he was drunk.

But at this moment, Qin Feng's face became even redder, turning into the color of liver, and even turning purple. Only then did Malu realize that something was wrong with him.

However, there was no mirror in Qin Feng's cabin, and he didn't notice anything wrong, so he continued.

"I'm fine. I've said everything I need to say. You should leave now. If you stay any longer, Zhang Yuan will get suspicious."

"But you look really strange. Have you seen any outsiders today?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Qin Feng panted. It was clearly late autumn now, and he was only wearing a single piece of clothing. However, he still felt extremely hot. He just wanted to get rid of the millipede quickly so that he could go drink some water.

However, Malu did not move his feet and continued, "You are poisoned. Is there a doctor in the village? I can help you call him."

Qin Feng finally noticed something unusual at this time. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "The doctor in the village is... a fake. He is just a farmer who fled from famine. He was afraid of death after being caught, so he said he was a doctor. He can't cure my poison."

"I don't know how to detoxify you, but you can tell me who wants to kill you, and I can, well, it depends on the situation... help you get revenge."

"No, that's not necessary."

Qin Feng's face had turned red and black, and his breathing became increasingly difficult. He used his last bit of strength to say, "Be careful...fish..."

"Fish, what fish should you be careful of?" Malu asked. However, Qin Feng could no longer speak at this time. His face turned as dark as ink, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.

Malu frowned as he looked at his body.

He didn't think that Qin Feng's death was just an accident. Apparently, the mastermind behind the scene also realized that they had targeted Liu Huozui, so he killed Qin Feng who knew the secret.

But the problem is that this is the Black Tiger Village, which is heavily guarded and difficult for outsiders to enter on normal days. Malu and Gu Qingyi had to pretend to become bandits to get in.

Even so, the people in the village were on guard against them.

It is not easy for an outsider to commit murder in the Black Tiger Village without anyone noticing. Could it be that someone around Qin Feng did it?
However, Malu ruled out this possibility after just a brief thought. If it was someone around Qin Feng who did it, there would be no need to use poison. They could just wait for Qin Feng to patrol the mountain and do it quietly, which would be less likely to be discovered.

This man used poison, and it was a chronic poison, obviously hoping that Qin Feng would die slower.

Malu continued to think along this line of thought. What benefit would it bring to the murderer if Qin Feng died slowly?
Well, it should be to buy him time to leave the Black Tiger Village.

Thinking of this, a person's appearance appeared in Malu's mind.
