Gongsun dissected the dead crow and found that the crow had turned gray from hair to internal organs, and was dry and hard and dehydrated, as if it was petrified. Gongsun pulled out all the internal organs of the bird. After studying for a long time, it seemed that he had found some clues and was fiddling. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens on the Internet)

Even a bug was afraid to fly in around the entire yard, and the little Sizi looked inside with the door.

Zhao Pu asked him, "How is your father doing?"

Xiao Sizi touched her chin, "Well, she seems to have some eyebrows."

During dinner, Zhan Fu brought his servants to prepare some hometown dishes that Zhan Zhao liked to prepare supper for everyone.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Uncle Fu, are there too many crows in this old crow valley recently?"

"It's not just too much, it's still bigger." Uncle Fu nodded, "I remember that crows were not that big before. I don't know if they have eaten well recently. One or two are as fat as chickens, and they probably can't fly anymore, so they rarely come to the city."

"The crows didn't fly to the city?" Zhan Zhao remembered that when he was a child, he often saw a few crows stopping nearby to find something to eat. "When did it start?"

"About...well, three or four years?" Zhan Fu asked a few servants.

Everyone thought about it, "It's almost three or four years old, and it started not long after the young master left home."

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "That's it..."

"Maybe the crows are fat and can't fly anymore." Several guys joked.

"Have you ever seen a gray crow?" Zhan Zhao asked, "The dead ones are OK."

Many servants looked at each other and shook their heads--never seen them before.

"The crows don't fly to the city, so there are fewer dead crows on the street." Zhan Fu put dishes and chopsticks for everyone, and replied, "To be honest, not only are there fewer crows, but there are still fewer beggars."

"Beggar?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Oh." Zhan Fu nodded and said, "The master's wife doesn't live in Changzhou Prefecture very much. We have many old houses. There are several houses behind the house. There are all shops inside, and there are no money to serve some homeless people, beggars, etc. There are many people coming and going, and there are many in trouble. In the past, they were all full. Every day, the porridge shop had to get up early in the morning to cook and put on porridge... But later, there were fewer and fewer people. So, even the porridge shop was closed and I couldn't send out a few bowls of porridge a day."

"Yes!" Several guys nodded, "Now, I haven't seen a beggar for almost a year."

Lord Bao frowned slightly and looked at everyone.

"Wow, are you all rich in Jiangnan?" Pang Yu sighed, "I don't even have a flower girl, where is the Beggars' Sect?"

"We have no other sects from the Jianghu here." At this time, Zhan Fu smiled, "The area of ​​Changzhou Prefecture is too close to the Demon Palace. Who dares to occupy the ordinary Jianghu sect here? Therefore, Changzhou Prefecture is very stable all year round, and there are few bad things such as hooligans beating people, fighting martial artists on the streets."

Bao Zheng nodded, thinking that this was pretty good.

However, based on his years of experience as an official, it is absolutely abnormal that a beggar and a person who fled in a place cannot see it for a whole year.

Everyone also felt that it was abnormal, and at the same time they thought of the valley used to plant flowers... Could it be that the people inside were all homeless or unfamiliar and unreasonable... so no one noticed it even if they lost it.

"Uncle Fu, has anyone lost to Changzhou Prefecture recently?" Grand Master Pang, who was drinking tea, suddenly asked.

"Shame?"

"Well, someone is missing and can't be found." The Grand Master nodded, "and then someone declared the customs, but there was no echo."

"Uh, that's it...I'll go out to ask?"

The Master nodded, "I'm working hard."

Zhan Fu ran out, Bai Fu was in his spare time, so he followed him out to inquire.

Everyone looked at the Grand Master, and Pang Yu asked, "Dad, have you discovered something?"

"Yes." The Grand Master touched his beard and looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng glanced at him, shook his head, and said to himself - this old fox.

Everyone was confused.

The Grand Master asked, "How many people have died so far?"

"The two prefects, Liu Tian's wife and concubine, and Wang Linchun and his wife." Everyone answered.

The Grand Master nodded, "Yes, let's not mention the innocent implicated maids. Let's just talk about the two prefects and Wang Linchun and his wife. Wang must know the strange flower pot in the valley. Then... the two prefects are the only ones who may have investigated that Changzhou Prefecture has lost a lot of people recently."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "The Grand Master means that the method of murder is not the first thing to do. The murders may have happened just to cover up the corpses and flowers in that valley?"

Master Pang smiled faintly and said, "Shan Guard, you are such an honest man."

Everyone looked at the Grand Master.

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "These cases did not hide the valley, but instead allowed us to discover the valley."

Everyone thought about it and found that in every case, it was difficult to not pay attention to Laoya Valley. If you go to Laoya Valley for a while, you will find the valley and the demon flower.

"This case is very strange. Although there is a lot of evidence on the surface, most of it is useless." Mr. Bao frowned, "I still need to investigate."

During the meal, Gongsun ran back.

The little fourth son picked up food for Gongsun. Gongsun sat down and pinched his cheek first, and called out "Baby".

When everyone saw Gongsun's expression, they knew that he must have discovered it.

"This is the first time I have seen such a strange poison." Gongsun spoke directly without waiting for everyone to ask.

"What poison?" Everyone was curious.

"This poison comes from those two flowers." Gongsun said, "that marrow-eating flower is already extremely toxic. These two trees are even more medicinal flowers that someone proudly planted."

Everyone nodded blankly.

Zhao Pu couldn't understand, "Shunting, this is a demon flower and a medicinal flower. Is there a waist flower?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Sizi kicked him with his mouth flat.

Zhao Pu looked at Xiao Sizi, who squinted his eyes, and that meant - don't call him a nerd!

"Cough cough." Zhao Pu coughed, a little embarrassed.

However, Gongsun was in a good mood, so he didn't care too much. He continued, "That kind of flower ate and absorbed it, the body became petrified... In fact, it was not petrified, but roots, and the marrow red marrow red is gray. The area in Changzhou Prefecture is relatively dry, and the marrow-eating flower has no moisture, so the exposed roots become like stones and are broken as soon as they are knocked. The powder crushed by this lime is the best raw material for poison!"

Everyone looked at each other, "Is it to plant flowers to make poison?"

Gongsun nodded, "This medicine is quite magical. A large amount can cause death, and a small amount can cause hallucination."

"It takes a certain amount of time for people to be absorbed by tree roots, and petrification is also carried out slowly. During this process, people are already dead, and the dead will soon turn into rotten corpses, attracting crows to come and find food. While crows eat dead people, they will inevitably not eat the root system that eats red marrow, so the crow is poisoned." Gongsun raised his eyebrows.

"So there is poison in the crow's poop, right?" Xiao Sizi asked Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded with a smile and patted his head, "If this poison does not directly touch the skin, the medicinal properties are not strong. If it directly touches the skin, it will be poisoned. This is why the master, Mrs. Liu and Wang Linchun's wife were crazy and murdered. When the skin touched this medicine, the drug directly entered the blood, making people's blood boiling and the evil fire could not be eliminated, so it became very manic. The resentment that might have just accumulated in the body turned into deep hatred and vented."

Everyone nodded.

"What about Zhan Xiaomao and I?" Lin Yehuo pointed to his nose and asked Gongsun.

"You two didn't have contacted each other directly, but they were also considered to be in contact with each other through clothes, so you were just slightly poisoned." Gongsun smiled, "In fact, there were rumors that you would be unlucky when you were touched by bird shit before. Most of them were caused by slight poisoning! It would make people's reactions slow and their memory would become bad. To put it bluntly, they would be distracted."

Everyone thought about it and it seemed that that was the case.

"So that's how it is..." Zhan Zhao touched his chin and glanced at the little Sizi who was eating beside him - it was fake, but the little Sizi's ability to predict is real, it's really magical.

"Then, what's going on with that gray crow?" Bai Yutang asked.

"This is the key point!" Gongsun became excited, and everyone was speechless. The more Gongsun talked about something strange, the more excited he became.

"That's the case!" Gongsun said seriously, "If you take this medicine powder, it is two different effects, and if you soak it and apply it on your body!"

Everyone was stunned.

Master Pang touched his chin, "There is still such a saying?"

Gongsun nodded, "If you take it directly, it will make people feel energetic and have a sense of hallucination and excitement. The efficacy of the medicine is probably similar to that of drugs like Wuyou San."

Everyone frowned.

"Oh... So it's this kind of thing." Pang Yu shook his head.

"But applying it on the body will make you feel another hallucination, which can make you manic." Gongsun hugged his arm, "But there is a problem that if you take it for a long time, you will become addicted, so you need to take it frequently. Once it stops one day, then..." Gongsun pointed to the bird cage in the distance.

Everyone opened their mouths - it's right, the crow kept eating, wouldn't he die if he didn't eat it!

"No wonder the crows are so fat!" Bai Yutang said, "Crows do not have human wisdom. They don't know that what makes them addicted is the flower roots. They only know that they will feel comfortable after eating rotten corpses, and then they try their best to eat the human flesh... so they get fatter and fatter. This one has nothing to eat after being caught, so the poison dies."

Gongsun clapped his hands, "I analyze, that's it."

Everyone frowned.

"This kind of medicinal powder made of red-eaten marrow-eating flower roots can be processed into many other things." Gongsun held his chin and said, "It is a good medicinal material, it depends on how people use it! If it is used well, it can cure diseases and relieve pain. If it is not used well, it will be like those crazy murderers, which is a tragedy."

"No matter who transformed this Laoya Valley into a flowerpot, and so many people used to plant flowers." Mr. Bao touched his beard, "But the fibrous root of this flowerpot can be said to allow the other party to earn endless gold and silver and harm endlessly, so the person who planted flowers must be found!"

"It's a pity that all the relevant people involved in the case were dead." Zhan Zhao sighed, "That Xu Mengyao seems to have a good relationship with Wang Linchun. Will she know something?"

"It's dark." Bai Yutang reminded him, "Youhu should be back, let's go find it?"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while and glanced at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at him in confusion.

Zhan Zhao said, "Then what, don't go."

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Oh, Pang Yu." Zhan Zhao waved to Pang Yu, "You are familiar with me when you are shopping in the kilns, so why don't you go?"
