Because of her charity in Baisha Village, Ninth Lady gained a good reputation. In fact, the people of Baisha Village worshipped Ninth Lady as a deity and built a clay statue of her in the village ancestral hall. According to Qian Xinrou, the ancestral hall where Ninth Lady is located is still very popular.
I was annoyed when I heard this. It was really ironic that a witch who used living people to raise poisonous insects had now become a "god" worshipped in the Miao village.
Thinking about what my master Zhang Chu said, I'm afraid that this Ninth Lady really did make medicine from the poisonous insects, sell it to those rich people, and then make money.
Seeing that I remained silent and my face was silent, Qian Xinrou said with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, please let me go. I am actually just working for Zhu Huiwen and Ninth Lady. I have never hurt anyone. Really. As long as you let me go, I am willing to sacrifice my body."
I rolled my eyes at Qian Xinrou in disgust and said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your body, and don't try to seduce me with such words."
After saying this, I went straight to the phone and dialed 110.
I called 110 and told them my situation and my general location, but the operator didn't believe me. But after repeated confirmation, he said he would send someone over as soon as possible. I repeatedly urged them to send more people over, and the operator agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with the involvement of the police, this matter should not be difficult to handle. It was just that the call to 110 was a little late. If it had been earlier, perhaps so many people would not have been parasitized by the poisonous insects and killed.
Turning my gaze to look at Qian Xinrou, I asked in a deep voice, "What's going on on the third floor of your building? Can you tell me about it?"
Qian Xinrou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, now that I'm in your hands, I'll tell you everything you want to know... The third floor is where the Gu worms are cultivated. After the people parasitized by the Gu worms die, the Gu worms don't actually reach full maturity."
"And the staff on the third floor, under the charge of Gao He, cultivated those immature Gu worms into mature ones. The mature Gu worms would be taken away by Zhu Huiwen every month or several months. As for what they were taken away for, I don't know. But I think they were brought back to Baisha Village and handed over to Ninth Lady."
"Nineth Lady usually stays at home and rarely goes out. She has extraordinary skills. People in the village say that she can turn poisonous insects into life-saving medicine. Once, it seemed that the medicine of Nineth Lady saved a rich man. The rich man went to Baisha Village, but he did not see Nineth Lady."
"Later, the rich man built a cement road for the village. This happened quite recently, just one year ago. The Miao people in Baisha Village also know about it and are very grateful to Ninth Lady."
I interrupted Qian Xinrou and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the matter of the Ninth Lady for now. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I heard from Ma Tianlei that the man named Gao He on the third floor of your building can develop a small red pill that can drive away poisonous insects. I wonder if this is true?"
Qian Xinrou pondered for a moment and said, "Dr. Gao Hegao used to be the director of the city hospital. He was hired by Zhu Huiwen to specialize in researching medicines and cultivating Gu worms. Because of the special nature of Gu worms, everyone who has come into contact with Gu worms needs to swallow a small red pill every week. The purpose is to prevent some missed Gu worms from entering our bodies."
"But I don't know if the little red pill can expel the parasites from living people. I'm afraid you still need to find Gao He.
Ask the guy. "
I already knew basically everything I needed to ask and know, so I went up to Qian Xinrou without hesitation.
Seeing me coming over, Qian Xinrou said in horror: "No, what are you doing? You can't kill me. I have told you everything I should tell you. You can't break your promise."
I sneered and raised the corner of my mouth: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm not that kind of crazy person."
Then I started tapping the acupuncture points on Qian Xinrou, and she fainted. She was knocked unconscious by me, and she would not wake up for twelve hours.
In order to prevent being discovered by others, I helped Qian Xinrou to the bed and made her lie down. The dead snake on the ground, which was corroded by the green light of the sky eye and bloody, was also wrapped in a bed sheet and thrown into the nearest trash can.
After finishing these, I quietly went out.
Next target, the third floor of this building.
The corridor on the second floor was long and narrow, with rooms on both sides, which was very similar to the structure of dormitory buildings in universities. But for the sake of caution, I quickened my pace and walked lightly towards the right side of the second floor.
When I got to the second floor, I found that there was a spiral staircase next to the third floor leading to the second floor. That staircase was not connected to the second floor, but led directly to the first floor. However, the way to the first floor was not through the door on the first floor, but through the back door on the first floor.
In other words, although Qian Xinrou was in charge of this place, the affairs of the third floor were not restricted by the first floor. Gao He, who was researching and breeding Gu worms, obviously had certain privileges.
Just as I reached the second floor stairs, I heard the sound of footsteps.
The footsteps did not come from the top of the stairs on the second floor, but from the top of the spiral staircase.
However, two people appeared near the spiral staircase on the second floor. They were both wearing white clothes, which looked like the white coats in the hospital. They wore thin disposable caps on their heads and masks on their mouths.
The two people were very careful when they went downstairs, carrying a black plastic bag between them. Judging from the shape of the black plastic bag, it should be a person wrapped in it.
Although the plastic bag was wrapped tightly, a lot of dirty blood still flowed out from the edges and corners, dripping onto the stairs.
If I'm not mistaken, that corpse should be the one from which the poisonous insect had just been removed.
Damn, these people are so inhumane.
Soon, the two people disappeared from my sight and left. I think they must have taken the body outside the building, or into the truck parked at the door of the building. When the time comes, they can find an uninhabited, secluded place to bury the body, and no one will know about it.
Without thinking about these things anymore, I went to the third floor to take a look first.
Hiding at the stairs on the third floor, I looked over there.
I noticed that the corridors on the third floor were all equipped with lights, and the lights were bright and white. But there were not many rooms here, and they were all large rooms that were the size of a conference room.
At the door of a large room, two men in black clothes holding guns and sticks were guarding there. They stood straight and were very different from the patrolmen in the room on the first floor. They looked more disciplined and more powerful.
There are people guarding the place, and if I walk over there, I will be exposing myself. This is not a smart thing to do.
But hiding at the staircase here is not a solution. There are corridors on both sides. If someone passes by, I will be discovered immediately.
.
After thinking about it, I really feel that there is no way out.
Fortunately, I stayed here for more than ten minutes and no one else passed by. It was considered safe for the time being.
But soon, there was a "creaking" sound in the corridor. I pressed my body against the wall and looked over to see a man walking out of the door of the big room where the two guards were staying.
The man was short, and his white coat looked a bit long. He also wore a mask on his face and a disposable hat on his head. But he wore glasses on his face, and looked gentle.
"Director Gao!"
The two guards called out to the short man respectfully.
After hearing this and looking at the attitudes of the two guards, I knew in my heart that this short man was probably Gao He.
But Gao He ignored the two guards and walked towards me quickly.
Gao He was wearing leather shoes, and the soles of his shoes made a "click-click!" sound as they stepped on the floor tiles.
Seeing Gao He actually walking towards me, I thought to myself, oh no, and thought about getting away.
Gao He and Zhu Huiwen are accomplices and are definitely not good people.
I hurried down to the third floor and hid on the side of the wall of the room on the second floor.
But what I didn’t expect was that Gao He didn’t walk through the corridor on the third floor, but walked towards the second floor.
This gave me a bit of a shock.
Could it be that Gao He discovered where I was hiding? But that was impossible. If he had discovered me, he would have only needed to make a sound and the two armed guards would have rushed over immediately.
Gao He went down to the third floor and stopped on the stairs on the second floor.
Then I noticed that he actually took out his cell phone from his pocket.
Ma Tianlei told me that the cell phones of the people here were all taken away. But I didn't expect that Gao He actually had a cell phone in his hand. It was really strange.
Because I was very close to the second floor, I could see everything Gao He did.
He took out his cell phone and started making a call.
The call was connected.
"Hello, wife, it's me, Gao He!"
Gao He said in a low voice.
His wife replied in tears on the other end of the phone: "Gao He, I miss you so much. When can you come back? Qi Qi, I miss you so much. You keep shouting that you want to see your daddy."
Gao He sighed and said helplessly: "Wife, I want to go back too. But I can't. You don't know the situation here. But I'm not in danger here. I'm just worried about you and the children. Did they do anything to you?"
The woman on the other end of the phone said, "No! Those people treated us well, and gave us good food and drink, but they just wouldn't let us leave. But I've had enough of this kind of life. It's been five years. When will it end?"
Gao He comforted the woman: "It will be soon, honey, don't worry, I will be back safely. They have already promised me that in one year, just one year, I will be able to go back. By then, you and Qiqi will be safe, and our family will be reunited."
I was surprised when I heard what Gao He said.
From my analysis, Gao He in front of me is obviously controlled by Zhu Huiwen and others. His wife and children are also under the control of Zhu Huiwen and others.
In other words, Gao He was threatened, and it was because of this threat that he was brought here.
Damn it, it’s so abominable.
I originally thought that Gao He was in cahoots with Zhu Huiwen and the Ninth Lady, but now it seems that this is not the case. Gao He must have been coerced by Zhu Huiwen and the Ninth Lady.
