459 Drugged
“By the way, Master, I still have something to do in the western suburbs. Go back first,” Ning Yue said.
“Alright.” Gu Yu nodded.
He knew that Ning Yue had gone to the western suburbs to look for Jiang Ying, so he, an old man, did not join in the fun. Besides, he was not good at investigating those things.
After getting Baili to send Gu Yu back, Ning Yue brought the other guards to the western suburbs.
At this moment, Jiang Ying was still busy and had a worried expression. When he saw Ning Yue coming over, he hurriedly smiled. “Yueyue, you’re here.”
When Ning Yue said that she wanted to change the dressing for the injured, he thought that it would only end at night. He did not expect her to come before dark.
“Yes, I’m here. Seeing that you’re so distressed, did something happen? Tell me and I’ll analyze it for you,” Ning Yue said.
“I did encounter a problem.” Jiang Ying did not intend to hide it from Ning Yue.
It turned out that no matter how they investigated, the fire in the western suburbs was still likely an accident.
If it had been a simple accident, he had no intention of continuing his investigation. But when he had directed them to put out the fire in the western suburbs last night, he had discovered a problem.
“Do you know that every family had an accidental fire? When so many accidents happen together, it’s not an accident,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue’s eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief. “What did you say? An accident happened to every family?”
“Yes, the fire burned almost at the same time, which is why it caused such a huge fire. That’s why I think this isn’t a simple accident,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue fell silent. She thought for a moment and asked Jiang Ying, “Are you investigating who caused these accidents now?”
Jiang Ying nodded, but no matter how he investigated, he could not find the person who did this.
“Jiang Ying, have you ever thought that it wasn’t a human that made the accidents happen?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying was even more puzzled. “If it’s not a human, could it be a ghost?”
He was an atheist. He would never believe such a ridiculous thing.
“I didn’t say that. I mean, no one caused this accident. Instead, someone drugged them?” Ning Yue asked again.
Jiang Ying was enlightened and said to Ning Yue happily, “Yueyue, you’re really my lucky star!”
Ning Yue’s words woke him up. Indeed, he could not rule out this possibility. But the problem arose again. No matter how he investigated, he did not find any suspicious people. The explanation of drugging them did not seem to work.
“I didn’t find any suspicious people in this village. None,” Jiang Ying said.
It was impossible for one person to drug the entire village. At least a few people had to do it together.
Ning Yue smiled and replied, “There’s a way. There’s no need for so many people to do it. After all, there’s something we have to use every day.”
Jiang Ying frowned deeply when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he understood. “You’re talking about water!”
Why hadn’t he thought of that? He had wasted a day.
“Yes, as long as they drug the water, they can cause these accidents,” Ning Yue said.
When Jiang Ying heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to investigate the water source in the western suburbs. As expected, when one of the guards tried to drink the water, he hallucinated.
His eyes glazed over. He took the flint he was carrying and walked to the corner. He picked up a pile of firewood and began to light it.
After the firewood was burned, the guard placed the burning firewood in various corners.
After doing this, the guard suddenly walked not far away and lay on the ground with his eyes closed. He looked like he was asleep.
Jiang Ying gestured, and the other guards immediately extinguished the lit firewood.
Ning Yue took out a silver needle and poked the sleeping guard awake.
Ning Yue asked him, “What did you just do?”
The guard looked at Ning Yue in confusion and replied honestly, “I drank water.”
“You drank water over there. How did you walk over? Don’t you remember?” Ning Yue didn’t mention his arson and pointed in the direction of the water source.
The guard was even more confused. Yes, he had just been drinking water over there. Why was he here?
