Chapter 214: Harvesting and Dissecting

Ning Chen came to the Supervision Department and went directly to Geng Jing's room.

"I heard that a drug dealer was arrested?"

Geng Jing didn't waste any words, stood up and said: "Come on, I'll take you to see him first."

On the way, Ning Chen asked curiously: "Did you get anything out of the interrogation?"

Geng Jing shook his head.

"Are you so stubborn?"

"You'll know when you see me."

In a cell, Ning Chen entered the captured drug dealer.

Ning Chen looked at the other person through the cell door.

This man was slightly fat, about thirty years old, with fair skin, and looked harmless.

Ning Chen knocked on the cell door and said sharply: "What's your name?"

The drug dealer looked at Ning Chen with fear, and opened his mouth to make an 'ah ah' sound.

Ning Chen's face changed slightly, and he looked at Geng Jing, "Mute?"

Geng Jing sighed: "His tongue was cut off!"

Ning Chen's eyes twitched.

"Then he must be able to write, right?"

Geng Jing shook his head, "It seems that he can't read."

Ning Chen: "???"

"Are you kidding? A drug dealer can't read?"

Geng Jing smiled bitterly: "He is not a drug dealer, at most he is a drug delivery person."

"I have interrogated those who lured officials to take the magic powder. This person is not the drug dealer they met."

"I guess that drug dealer will only show up at the beginning and lure those housekeepers with a large sum of money. Once the officials are addicted to the magic powder, they will no longer show up...send these disabled people to deliver medicine."

"These people can neither speak nor read...even if they are caught, it's okay."

Ning Chen frowned, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Geng Jing spread his hands, "I really have no other choice. You have a flexible mind. I want to see if you have any good ideas?"

Ning Chen was speechless. This person can neither speak nor read. What can he do?

Ning Chen knocked on the prison door, "Hey, look at me."

After speaking, Ning Chen began to gesture with his hands.

Geng Jing asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Sign language, the way deaf-mute people communicate."

"You also know this?"

Ning Chen nodded, "I know a little bit."

But Ning Chen gestured for a long time, and the people in the cell looked confused, fearful and stupid, and they didn't understand at a glance.

Ning Chen sneered, "Don't pretend you don't understand?"

The people in the cell still looked dull.

Ning Chen was helpless, and he probably thought modern sign language was not suitable for this world.

Not to mention that the world is different, even in the same world, the difference in sign language is also very large. The official sign language and the sign language of some places are very different.

Ning Chen frowned, "Master Geng, how do you say they usually communicate?"

Geng Jing said, "They don't communicate with others."

"How do you know?"

"He said."

Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead, "Doesn't he know how to speak?"

Geng Jing said, "But he will shake his head and nod."

Ning Chen was numb.

Geng Jing said, "I checked the identity of this person, and there is no such person."

"I guess he is also an orphan, perhaps from the nursery... Some of those children were trained to be dead men, and some had their tongues cut off and were trained to deliver medicine."

Ning Chen's face was cold, "What a living beast... These people's lives are already miserable enough, and they have to be cut alive, made disabled, and trained to be dead men."

Geng Jing sighed, "So, we must investigate this matter at all costs and find out the real culprit behind the scenes."

Ning Chen thought for a while and asked, "Where did we catch this person?"

"Near the residence of the Minister of Justice, this person was sneaking around and was caught by our people... I asked the housekeeper of the residence of the Minister of Justice to identify him, and it was this person who sent him the magic powder later."

Ning Chen frowned, "Which street is the residence of the Minister of Justice?"

"Changxuan Street, on the same street as your Ning Mansion... But his residence is at the end of the street."

Ning Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while... He suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Sir Geng, I don't have any good ideas for now... Let's go out first."

The two walked out of the prison, Ning Chen said: "Can we release this person and let our people secretly follow him and find out the truth?"

Geng Jing nodded, "I've thought about this too... I was thinking if you had any better ideas? Now it seems that this is the only way."

Ning Chen hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he hesitated for a long time and said: "Sir Geng, send a few good spies to secretly watch the palace."

Geng Jing was suddenly shocked, "Watch the palace? What do you mean?"

"You don't suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is Prince Fu, do you?"

Ning Chen shrugged, "I didn't say that... Anyway, sending someone to watch won't affect anything?"

Geng Jing stared at Ning Chen, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Ning Chen shook his head.

There is definitely something wrong with Prince Fu.

But is it related to the case of the fairy powder? He has no evidence now, just suspicion.

If he were Prince Fu, harboring evil intentions and wanting to seize power and usurp the throne, he would first have to get the support of the court officials... Controlling the court officials with magic powder is a shortcut.

After chatting with Geng Jing for a few words, Ning Chen left the Supervisory Department and went home to sleep in the middle of the night.

The next day, Ning Chen came to the Supervisory Department.

He did not go to the first place, but went to the sixth place with a jar of wine.

The sixth place gold clothes, called Meng Jianbai.

Meng Jianbai's skills are average, but he is proficient in pharmacology.

"Meet Meng Jinyi."

Ning Chen clasped his fists and saluted.

Meng Jianbai is in his forties, a little thin, with a goatee, and looks like a little old man.

He looked at Ning Chen with a smile, "Ning Yinyi, how come you have time to come to my Sixth Office?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Is there something I want to ask Meng Jinyi for help?"

"Ning Yinyi, don't be polite, just say it if you have something to say."

Ning Chen handed the wine in his hand over, "Meng Jinyi, help me see, what's strange about this jar of wine?"

Meng Jianbai took the jar of wine and opened the mud seal.

A strong and mellow aroma of wine floated out.

Meng Jianbai swallowed his saliva, "Good wine!"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes and knew at a glance that Meng Jianbai was a wine lover.

Meng Jianbai poured out a bowl, smelled it first, then brought it to the door and observed it for a long time in the sunlight.

"Meng Jinyi, is there anything strange about this wine?"

Meng Jianbai nodded, "It's strange. This should be a jar of 30-year-old Western Region Spring. It can be preserved so well. It's amazing!"

Ning Chen's eyes twitched.

"Meng Jinyi, I suspect this wine is poisonous."

Meng Jianbai said angrily: "Poisonous? This is the spring of the Western Regions for thirty years... Isn't this a waste of things?"

Ning Chen was speechless.

Meng Jianbai took a silver needle and tried it, but there was no reaction.

"It seems that it can't be detected by ordinary methods... Ning Yinyi, if you are not in a hurry, give me some time and I will talk to you later."

Ning Chen nodded, "Then I'll trouble Meng Jinyi."

"This wine may really be poisonous... You must not drink it secretly."

Meng Jianbai laughed, "No matter how good I am at drinking, I can't drink poisonous wine?"

Looking at your greedy look, I'm really afraid that you can't help but drink a sip... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

"Then I won't bother Meng Jinyi anymore, I'll leave first!"

Meng Jianbai nodded.

Ning Chen walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and turned around to say, "Meng Jinyi, the person who sent me the wine said that this wine tastes better when it is warm...Meng Jinyi, why don't you try heating it up?"

Meng Jianbai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
