Chapter 209: The truth is revealed, cannibalism? Poisoning?
After the magician threw the poison into Yan Nanzhe's courtyard, the four of them found a dark corner, squatted down and waited for about an incense stick of time. After the poison evaporated and the people in the mansion were trapped in an illusion, they climbed over the high wall painted with vermilion and sneaked into Yan Nanzhe's mansion.
The mansion was not very big, with only a few rooms, plus the front and back yards. The four of them searched separately and found the whole place in a short while. Yan Shiliu really found a box emitting a strange fragrance in Yan Nanzhe's room. It was hidden very deep, under the clothes. He opened it and saw that it contained expensive sandalwood, which showed signs of having been used.
If you smell it carefully, you can also smell some rouge and powder.
He took out a knife and carefully cut off a corner as evidence. The whole process was silent. Yan Nanzhe was sleeping soundly and had inhaled the hallucinogenic poisonous mist. There was no way he knew that his house was broken into by a thief.
Now that the physical evidence was available, Yan Shiliu felt relieved. He ran to inform a few people and then quickly returned to the house.
The next day, Yan Shiliu informed Yan Cisheng of what had happened. Upon hearing this, Yan Cisheng flew into a rage and smashed the porcelain bowl in the house to the ground, muttering, "You bastard Yan Nanzhe, I will never stop fighting you to the death!"
After hearing this roar, he slammed the door and ran straight to Yan Nanzhe's mansion. He was so angry at the moment and full of murderous intent. When the neighbors saw him walking on the road, they guessed that something was going to happen and hurried to inform the village chief.
Yan Nanzhe had no idea what was happening, and was walking leisurely towards the Zhaozi Tower, intending to have a romantic encounter with the Lotus Girl.
Unfortunately, the two met face to face.
Yan Cisheng kicked Yan Nanzhe without saying a word. Yan Nanzhe cried out and fell to the ground. Before he could figure out the situation, Yan Cisheng looked around, saw a stone, picked it up, and rushed towards Yan Nanzhe with murderous intent. During the whole process, he didn't say a word and was full of murderous intent.
When Yan Shiliu saw that this was not going to work, he hurried over to intercept him. However, with his skinny body, he was no match for Yan Cisheng, who often did farm work, in terms of strength, and was thrown away in two hits.
Seeing this, the swordsman also went to help. He thought that he had practiced martial arts for many years and could easily stop the attacker. However, as soon as the two of them came into contact, the force from the opponent made him feel stuck.
Fortunately at this time.
The village chief finally arrived, and it was only after seeing the village chief that Yan Cisheng regained some consciousness. He looked at the village chief, pointed at Yan Nanzhe, who was covered in mud, and said, "He hurt me!"
When Yan Nanzhe heard this, he was so frightened that his legs started to tremble and his face turned pale in an instant, "No... No..."
When the village chief saw his reaction, he frowned, thinking that there might be something fishy, so he took on the position of director and began to try the case. This was exactly what Yan Shiliu wanted.
The two began to confront each other.
Yan Nanzhe looked guilty and trembling with fear. He did not look innocent at all, which made others feel surprised. They wondered if Yan Nanzhe was really the culprit.
Afterwards, Yan Cisheng continued to tell the story. Finally, he asked Yan Shiliu to invite Miss Lotus to act as a witness. He also took out a piece of sandalwood that Yan Shiliu had given him yesterday as evidence.
Reasonable and convincing.
Unexpectedly.
After Yan Nanzhe heard this, he slowly calmed down and cursed back, "Bullshit! Bullshit!"
He said: "That sandalwood is indeed just a simple spice. You, Yan Cisheng, eat your father. It has nothing to do with me. It's your own fault. If you don't believe me, light it up and let everyone smell it!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone immediately fled away, not daring to get close. If this strange fragrance really had the effect of confusing the soul, it would not be a good thing if they inhaled even a little bit of it.
Seeing that everyone was unwilling, Yan Nanzhe went a step further, lit the sandalwood, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it to verify it with himself.
The magician frowned. He had seen this sandalwood before. It contained several kinds of medicinal herbs and was specially used to make "magic potions". It was definitely not ordinary sandalwood.
But...Yan Nanzhe is now so confident that he is full of doubts.
"I do not believe!"
Yan Cisheng snatched the sandalwood and tried it himself. This scared Yan Nanzhe so much that his expression went out of control for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.
I saw that the strange fragrance was indeed nothing.
The previous inferences were naturally abandoned.
In the end, the village chief had to let the matter go. Neither side pursued the matter too much and told everyone to go back to work and eat.
There was a big fuss about this.
If it was just about cannibalism, no one would dare to discuss it. But today's incident could no longer silence everyone. The news spread back and forth, and finally reached the home of Yan Ci Sheng's second sister, Yan Di Lai.
When the old mother, who was temporarily living in her second sister's house, heard about this, she fainted from anger again.
Yan Cisheng was furious. Although he failed to expose Yan Nanzhe due to what happened during the day, based on the other party's performance, he was almost certain that the incident of "eating his father" must be related to him!
After everyone dispersed.
The witch pinched her chin, thinking about something.
"That fragrance just now...I think I've smelled it somewhere before." She suddenly stopped.
Everyone turned around and cast doubtful looks.
The Gu woman's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then she clapped her hands and said, "I remember now!"
"That's the awakening incense!!"
As soon as these words came out.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through the minds of Yan Shiliu and others!
The skinny old Taoist priest clapped his hands.
"I see."
"We were on the right track, but we were off track!"
"This father-eating curse is indeed man-made, but the one used is not a magic potion, but a poisonous insect!"
Everyone looked at the Gu woman.
The Gu girl nodded, "There are indeed such Gu insects, such as the evil eating Gu and the gnawing Gu. There is a certain possibility that they can cause this situation."
One reason why people had not thought about the "worm" before was that common witchcraft such as eating worms and gnawing worms required a certain amount of coincidence to achieve the condition of "cannibalism".
For example, the evil food Gu looks like a blue-black tapeworm, half the size of a little finger nail. Once it wakes up, it will start to eat and devour the flesh. At this time, the only way for the person who is poisoned is to continue eating to feed the evil food Gu until it is starved to death.
Another example is chewing the poisonous insect. The person who is poisoned will have a strong desire to chew it.
But...when I learned that this sandalwood was the incense that could wake up the poison, the only possibility was that it was a poison.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the "father-eating" curse really existed and had its own influence in the dark.
In short.
at this point.
It is already clear.
That's it.
Li Changxiao watched silently. He knew nothing about witchcraft, demon refining, and knife-smashing, but after this incident, he had to admit that the mortal world today can no longer be underestimated.
There are many capable people.
