Chapter 293 Arrest
"I've heard of a wicked technique called the Jade Maiden Bridge, which allows you to transfer poison to a young girl using your internal energy without damaging your internal energy." Li Lianhua once again demonstrated his encyclopedic knowledge of martial arts secrets.
"Such a vicious martial art is actually used in the martial arts world?" Fang Duobing felt it was a bit outrageous.
"It was precisely because of Lian Quan's selfish desires that he kept using emerald green to maintain his cultivation technique, while constantly drawing poison to innocent girls. He was truly wicked."
"The Lord of the Underworld failed to abduct anyone from your house, so he might try to harm other girls. It's definitely very dangerous now. We need to save people first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Fang Duobing was indeed very anxious. As a detective in Baichuan Academy, he would not forgive himself if innocent people were persecuted in front of him.
Just like his own servant, who was murdered right in front of him because of his momentary negligence.
"Then let's hurry and rescue them! We can't let them get killed again. Let's split up and look for clues, and prioritize sending messages."
Later, Li Lianhua and Wu You learned from Wang Bashi that before Su Hua was taken away by Yama, Doctor Xue had indeed treated Su Hua's mother.
The doctor's identity was both safe and legitimate, allowing him to enter the girl's house without arousing suspicion.
Led by Wang Bashi, they arrived at the mortuary. Li Lianhua also examined the numerous female corpses that had been swept away by the mountain stream and snatched by Yama, and confirmed that they had indeed been crossed by the Poisonous Palm using the Jade Maiden Bridge.
Because of those poisonous palms that crossed over, the bodies of the girls who had been dead for many days remained uncorrupted.
On the other side, Fang Duobing asked Li'er to find the stone catalog to check the origin of the pebble in the mine.
Because Xiaobiancheng is a major source of emeralds, the rocks there are quite different from the pebbles, and finding them doesn't take too much time.
In addition, Fang Duobing also found the antidote rhinoceros ginger in the dregs of the medicine that Doctor Xue prescribed for his mother's diarrhea, and thus decided on the candidate.
Few people knew that jadeite was poisonous, yet Doctor Xue was able to prescribe an antidote directly. He also knew what happened inside the mine; he was certain that the pebble was the one he secretly threw into the dry well as a marker when no one was looking.
Having identified the suspect, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing did not delay. They found Xue Langzhong's address and broke down the door.
What came into view was Doctor Xue secretly trying to force the poison out of his body onto a newly captured, seemingly innocent young woman.
The girl opposite looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was tied to a pillar behind her with a rope, and a strip of cloth was stuffed into her mouth.
With tears in her eyes, her head kept shaking, and her body kept backing away, trying to escape all this horror.
However, her hands, feet, and waist were all bound by ropes, so she couldn't move at all. She kept shaking her head in refusal, looking extremely pitiful.
"You beast, stop!" Fang Duobing roared, raising his Erya sword to attack.
"Luckily we arrived in time."
Li Lianhua and Wu You went over and, while Xue Langzhong was being held back by Fang Duobing, rescued the girl from the wooden stake.
"Uncle, sister, thank you for saving me." The little girl thanked them as she bravely stood up.
Li Lianhua paused in untying the ropes, then continued to untie the ropes on her feet, before handing the place over to Wu You.
