Chapter 353 Who did it?
The mass grave in the west of the city is filled with uneven mounds and scattered bones.
The wind blew across the dead land, making a humming sound. Although it was a sunny day, Song Anning still felt a little cold.
In the center of the mass grave, there was a dilapidated temple whose roof had collapsed due to the heavy rain.
Dozens of fresh corpses were piled around the walls. The dead had gray faces and died in horrific ways. Most of them were young people.
"You wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
As Old Man Pan was about to fly over to check, he was blocked by Song An Ning.
"Are you crazy? You're rushing over there without even knowing the cause of their death.
If it's a highly contagious disease, even taking an antidote pill might not be effective."
Old Man Pan anxiously turned around twice in the air, took a closer look, then took Song An Ning into an empty alley and turned back into himself.
He frowned and thought for a long time before he said to Song An Ning doubtfully:
“I just checked, they are all young people, the oldest is no more than 50 years old.
This was strange, as they had no fatal wounds and no bloodstains.
If it is a plague, the first to die are infants with low immunity and elderly people in poor health.
But this..."
Although he was the master of Yaowang Valley, had saved many people and had been to many places, this was the first time he had seen such a strange thing.
"Indeed, I just asked the system to scan it and the results will be out soon."
"Oh, we have to use high technology at the critical moment. How long do we have to wait?"
Old man Pan was very anxious. Tongchuan City was densely populated. If there was a plague, it would become a dead city.
Even the people who are not infected with the disease will not have an easy time.
At the same time, he was a little confused. The quantity of medicine Song An Ning gave him was quite large. He had long known that King Ling was not taking action, so he specially arranged for people to disinfect cities and towns with large populations, set up a big pot, and distribute medicine for free as a preventive measure.
Those medicines are effective, how could they be useless?
He paced back and forth, making Song An Ning feel dizzy. He asked with his mind:
"It smells good, the results haven't come out yet?"
"Okay, okay, Xiangxiang is here.
After a systematic and careful analysis and study of the surrounding air, we concluded:
There is no plague here, nor any infectious virus. Those corpses were infected with a strange poison..."
"Wait a minute, Xiangxiang, turn on the audio permission and let Old Man Pan listen together, otherwise I will have to convey it again."
"Good."
After opening the permission, Xiangxiang reiterated her previous conclusion.
The result was that those who died were all killed by poisoning. The biggest characteristic of this poison is that it has plague-like symptoms, and people around it avoid it, thus missing the best time to detoxify and eventually die.
As a result, everyone in the city thought that a plague had occurred, and people became panic-stricken, and the situation became increasingly chaotic.
"Who did it?"
The two looked at each other, opened the map tacitly, and looked at Ali's location.
It doesn't matter at first glance, Ali and Su Chen are both in Tongchuan Prefecture, and Su Chen is not in Ali's space.
"Xiangxiang, take this opportunity to quickly bind."
"Xiangxiang did it, but it can't be bound."
"..."
"Why is that?"
Song Anning felt a bit overwhelmed and stared at Old Man Pan's screen, only to see the name displayed on the map like this.
Luo Yu (Su Chen, Xia Qingyan.)
"Good boy, this guy has transformed."
"Then let's bind Luo Yu and see if it works."
"Ding, binding successful."
Old Man Pan's eyes were deep, and Song Anning seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of silence, they spoke at the same time:
"I always feel that this matter has something to do with these two guys."
"Did they both do this?"
"When it comes to using poison, A-Li is a true master, and it's easy for the Misty Rain Pavilion to make these poisons. The two of them are in cahoots, and they're going to do something big together."
There was no plague in the city, and the two of them felt relieved. Now their minds were full of thoughts about what these two guys were trying to do.
“We just went to the mass grave, and there were a few people carrying bodies there. How about we follow them?
Or change your identity and go ask."
"Yes. Whoever caused so many people to lose their lives deserves to die."
Old Man Pan gritted his teeth and took out the Huanyan Pill. The two of them transformed into two young gentlemen.
I walked straight to the mass grave, and happened to see a few people with cotton cloth covering their faces, walking in a hurry.
"Hey, young man, how do I get to the west city warehouse?
My two brothers came to Tongchuanzhou to do business. We were unfamiliar with the place and took the wrong road.
Could you please help me find the way down, little brother?"
Song An Ning spoke first, smiling kindly.
The few people who came out of the mass grave just looked up and didn't say anything.
"It's too hot today. I have five taels of silver. If anyone can show me the way, I'll treat him to tea..."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people turned around and smiled flatteringly.
"Hey, gentlemen, why are you here?
This is the mass grave of our Tongchuanzhou. The warehouse in the west of the city is behind it and it takes a long time to walk there.
Just a kind reminder, stay away from us, we just dumped a lot of dead bodies, and we are dirty."
Song Anning curled the corners of his mouth slightly, pretending to be afraid and took several steps back, saying with a look of disgust:
"So many dead bodies were thrown away? So many people died in broad daylight. Is there a plague in the city?
Big brother, let's leave quickly, this deal can't be done."
Seeing that they didn't get the silver, several people hurriedly chased after him to explain:
"No, sir, there is no plague in Tongchuan Province, otherwise we would still be here safely?"
They stared at the five taels of silver with shining eyes. Song An Ning saw all of this and asked hesitantly:
"What happened? So many people died at once? Was it a flood?"
"How could that be? The flood did wash away many people, but not these.
We brothers are laborers at the docks. After the flood, life was really hard, so we accepted the money from Guangjuzhai and helped carry the bodies.
"Guangjuzhai?"
Song Anning's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't that the black shop where he went in to eat and almost couldn't leave when he came to Tongchuanzhou to sell seeds last time?
And last time she heard the grain shop owner's thoughts. Behind Guangjuzhai is Princess Ling's family.
Considering the grudge between Su Chen and Princess Ling, Song An Ning also guessed something.
"Yes, it's Guangjuzhai.
It’s strange to say, there were only a few people left in the restaurant. Dozens of people died in just two days, and their deaths were horrifying.
However, many doctors said that it was not a plague, and the people who had eaten at Guangjuzhai were all fine.
Alas, you are from another place, so you may not know that Guangjuzhai has some background and has done many immoral things. Perhaps this is retribution."
Song An Ning nodded, thanked them, and confirmed the location of the warehouse in the west of the city with a few people before leaving.
After receiving the silver, several people expressed their sincere gratitude and reminded:
"You two gentlemen are good people. If there is nothing serious, please leave Tongchuan Prefecture as soon as possible.
Even if the doctor says it's not a plague, who can say for sure? Right now, the people in the city are worried and in chaos. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll have to close the city."
"Okay, thank you guys very much. Please be careful and don't make any money."
Song An Ning also gave a few pointers, and then the group said goodbye.
Walking north along the alley, Old Man Pan said nothing on the way. Even someone as smart as Song Anning had already thought of what was going to happen next.
