Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 738
Zhou Feiyan was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to Li Canghai excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely follow your lead and live up to your expectations!"

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "Master Zhou, what you said is wrong. You and I are in Dali Temple, where we are in charge of laws and sentences, and we should follow the law as the criterion in everything. Live up to the people and be a Dali Temple official who has no regrets in his heart."

After Zhou Feiyan finished listening, he made a deep salute to Li Canghai, and said respectfully, "Your official has been taught! I will act according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and live up to my lord's expectations!"

While speaking, everyone came to Dali Temple.

In front of the gate of Dali Temple, two guards saw Li Canghai coming, and they all bowed to salute.

Li Canghai nodded to the two, and then entered the inner office of Dali Temple with Lu Ji and the others.

Although Yang Guozhong's wings were removed this time, and several major hexagram masters of "Ni Lin Xuan Wu" were also removed, Li Canghai did not relax.

What's more, there are more important matters that have not yet been resolved.

That was the death of the old white man.

Although it is now known that the cause of the old man's death was silenced, there are still many doubts about it.

First of all, the sauced meat eaten by the old man's family was a reward from the Acropolis.

From this, it can be deduced that the poison that can cause people to lose their voice in the sauce meat was planted by the Acropolis.

So, here comes the problem.

Weicheng is just an ordinary captain, not very capable, let alone he can use Gu poison.

But the real cause of the old man's death was that he was poisoned by Gu poison.

This made Li Canghai feel a little strange.

According to Hongyan, the Gu poison was probably rubbed on the cat's paw, which means that the cat was the murderer.

But in the final analysis, the person who poisoned the cat's paw was the real culprit behind the scenes.

The purpose of killing the old man was to silence him. If so, wouldn't it be easier and more convenient for Acropolis to directly inject a pack of deadly poison?Why do you have to make it so complicated?
Li Canghai walked to the side of the candlestick, picked up the long needle next to it, picked out the wick that was about to go out, stared at the flickering flame, and fell into deep thought.

"First, Acropolis injected dumb poison into the sauced meat, then smeared Gu poison on the cat's claws, and then let the cat scratch the old man Bai. After that, the old man went crazy and killed the whole family... Although Song Kun He is dead, but this matter is definitely related to Yang Guozhong, but the question is, why did he do this?" Li Canghai muttered to himself.

He couldn't figure out why Yang Guozhong would do this, even if he wanted to kill someone, he only needed to poison the old man Bai, so why use the forbidden Gu called 'Soul Devourer Gu'?
Thinking of the miserable situation of the old man Bai's family, Li Canghai couldn't help but gasped.

This reminded him of the movies about zombies he had seen in his previous life. Zombie viruses spread through blood, and anyone who was bitten would become the next zombie.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai shivered suddenly.

Isn't this Gu poison extremely similar to the zombie virus described in those movies?
First, animals belonging to cats and dogs, and then humans bitten by cats and dogs... If this continues, won't more and more people be infected by Gu poison?

Li Canghai's face instantly became ugly.

If the Gu poison is allowed to spread, it won't be long before Chang'an City will fall into panic.

And he finally figured out why the other party took so much trouble.

fear!

The purpose of the other party is to make the people in this city fall into fear!

In order to achieve this goal, the opponent first let Weicheng poison the sauced meat, poison the dumb old man's family, and then let the cat's claws coated with Gu poison scratch the old white man.

The sauced meat was eaten, and the wild cat disappeared.

If he hadn't opened up his mind and found Hui Guang, who is good at identifying poisons, and Hongyan, an expert in using Gu, no one would have thought that the old white man killed his whole family because of the poison in his body.

And the disappearing wild cat used the venom remaining on its paws to wander around the city of Chang'an. Anyone bitten by it, no matter whether it was an animal or a human, would go crazy and kill anyone it saw.

In this way, Chang'an City will surely fall into panic!
"Sheet! Yang Guozhong, the turtle bastard, is he going to turn the entire Chang'an city into a dead city? This is too damn cruel!" Li Canghai was furious, and slammed his palm on the beams and pillars. Print a clear palm print.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Lu Jitong, who was standing guard outside the door, heard the movement in the house, thought someone was coming to assassinate him, so he drew his weapon and rushed in.

"I have an ominous premonition, Ji Tong, immediately follow me to Anxingfang!"

Seeing Li Canghai's solemn expression, Lu Jitong didn't hesitate at all, and immediately led Qian Niuwei to follow behind Li Canghai, and hurried towards Anxingfang.

Although it was already late at night, the vicinity of Anxingfang was in a mess.

Several houses even caught fire, and Han Qu was leading a group of government servants, together with the nearby residents, to put out the fire in a hurry.

"Master Han, what's going on?" Li Canghai's heart sank, and he walked over quickly and asked.

Hearing Li Canghai's voice, the disheartened Han Qu hurriedly turned around, and said anxiously, "Master Li, you are here! Master and that girl...are still in the flames!"

"What? Huiguang and Hongyan are in a sea of ​​flames? What's going on?" Li Canghai screamed when he heard the words.

"Returning to your lord, the next official was ordered by your lord to arrest all the infected people inside and outside Anle Square, and lock them all into these houses. Master Huiguang and Miss Hongyan entered it and said they would try Healed everyone, and asked Xiaguan to buy more herbs. But when Xiaguan brought people back to buy herbs, he found that several houses were on fire! Now, Master Huiguang and Miss Hongyan have not yet come out of the sea of ​​flames , I'm afraid it's..." Han Qu said with a sad face, and didn't continue.

Li Canghai's face darkened, and he said, "Master Han, where is Chang'an's military commander? Why don't you see them coming to fight the fire?"

"This... the lower officials have sent people to inform them, so they must be on their way here?" Han Qu said cautiously, wiping the sweat off his face.

"Master Han, find more people immediately, and put out the fire no matter what!" After Li Canghai finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a wooden barrel, and flew towards the river not far away. ran over.

Fortunately, there are several rivers meandering through the city in Chang'an City, and there happened to be a river near Anxingfang.

At this time, many people came out one after another, carrying wooden barrels to fill the water from the river to put out the fire.

Not long after, Chang'an Bingmasi sent a large number of soldiers to fight the fire.

With the addition of Bing Ma Si, the pressure on everyone has been reduced a lot.

But the fire is not optimistic.

The several houses that were on fire were all wooden structures and were relatively close to each other. Once the fire started, it would soon burn the surrounding area into a sea of ​​flames.
