CHAPTER 1684: CHAPTER 1684: THE SAME PERSON (4)

The entire Town Governor’s Office was suddenly filled with an indescribable scent.

Yang Ruxin worried there might be poison in the air, hastily pulled out a piece of incense and lit it. Soon, the unpleasant smell faded, leaving only a faint aroma of sandalwood.

Even someone like Xie Zhanfei, who was accustomed to seeing corpses and bizarre events, felt chills all over. Needless to say, others were even more unnerved.

Xiaoyu was shaking with fear, and Little Liuzi didn’t care about anything else and hugged her tightly.

Liang Tie suddenly felt nauseous, turned, and ran to the door, vomiting until he was dizzy.

"This is a kind of Poisonous Insect." Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly, "These siblings must have been manipulated." And that person should be nearby; when they saw Qiu Rang was about to confess, they activated the insect’s poison.

Even though she came out with Du Man and Du Juan openly, she secretly brought two Shadow Guards who were skilled at stealth, but they didn’t notice anything unusual, which meant that person was hidden deep.

Originally, it was just a simple swindling scheme. Unexpectedly, it has led this far, obviously showing that someone is behind the Qiu siblings, and perhaps their target wasn’t Tie Dan at all.

The epidemic in Jin City was also caused by Poisonous Insects. Could these incidents be orchestrated by the same mastermind? Was it a spontaneous scheme or one meticulously laid down long ago?

Yang Ruxin turned around and felt Qiu Meifan’s pulse.

This woman, frightened by her brother’s death, had fainted, and there was a dark halo between her brows, even moving slightly, indicating she too had Poisonous Insects inside her body. Quickly she pulled out two Golden Needles to seal her Yintang and Danzhong acupuncture points. After a while, seeing that the dark halo stopped moving, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the pale gentleman: "Did you have relations with her?"

The gentleman, weak on his knees leaning against the wall, urgently shook his head, "No, just kissed twice..."

Yang Ruxin then looked at Liang Tie.

Liang Tie’s face was livid, but he also quickly shook his head, he hadn’t even held her hand, intending to be respectful, which turned into a joke.

As for the young man from the Wang Family, he only held her hand.

Only then did Yang Ruxin let out a sigh of relief, "She has insects inside her too; if you had relations, it would be contagious..."

The three men shuddered instantly, even breaking out in goosebumps.

Qiu Rang was dead, Qiu Meifan unconscious, and the clues temporarily cut off.

Nonetheless, Guo Big Mouth and people from the Flower Building couldn’t be released, as someone died, so arrest officer Xie immediately took them back to the county. The next step was to apply to the County Magistrate for investigation of Flower Building.

As for unconscious Qiu Meifan, arrest officer Xie dared not to move her, entrusting her to Yang Ruxin.

Shadow Eight and others wrapped Qiu Meifan in cloth soaked in medicinal liquid, swiftly delivering her to the stone cave in the mountains, and notified Dao Xuzi and Tang Wanqian.

Fortunately, although these Poisonous Insects were fierce, in Tang Wanqian’s eyes, they were still child’s play.

"They originate from the same mother species as the Poisonous Insects from Jin City." Initially, Tang Wanqian imagined they were some special insects, upon seeing them was slightly disappointed, "However, those can fly through the air and spread by breathing, whereas these require contact for the insects to crawl onto people to infect..."

"So, the events in Jin City and today’s affair are orchestrated by the same person?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
