Chapter 218 Five (Wu) Lingzhi
The beginning of a lie means to use countless lies to complete.

Shen Wei and Xin Ling were still kept in the dark, not understanding what was going on.

Shen Wei: "Officer Chen, what's going on? Grandpa Tian is a well-known good man in our village. What's wrong with him?"

Chen Xingyang simply put the words straight: "Tian Kun, let me ask you, this is obviously ginseng, why do you play tricks and say that it is some kind of ghost and god cover grass? It made us travel so long to find it!"

Tian Kun reached out and took the ginseng on the table into his hand, and looked at it carefully.Shut up!
After listening to Chen Xingyang's words, Shen Wei suddenly understood the whole story. He also looked at the ginseng plant in Tian Lao's hand in surprise, and said in disbelief, "This? This is the ghost and god Gaicao we are looking for? This Isn’t it just ordinary ginseng? I said it was ginseng, and I’ll take you to the other side of the mountain! There are so many people in the Qinling Mountains!”

Tian Kun sighed and said, "Hey, you don't understand. The value of this ginseng is completely different from what you think."

Yu Fan said: "Indeed, this ginseng plant is really very precious. This ginseng plant is a genuine wild ginseng. This kind of ginseng is almost extinct. It is impossible for the wild ginseng on the market to be real. Most of them are garden ginseng (planted ginseng) or forest ginseng (seeds grow naturally under the forest). So the medicinal value of this ginseng is indeed extremely high."

Hearing Yu Fan's approval, Tian Kun seemed to relax a little.

But Yu Fan reversed the topic and asked Tian Kun directly and seriously: "But, that's not the problem. It's why you know that what we are looking for is ginseng, but why do you deliberately make up a plausible name? Why don't you just say Are you looking for 'a plant of ginseng with high medicinal value'?"

Tian Kun bowed his head again and remained silent, continuing to play with the ginseng plant in his hand.

The old village chief also seemed a little surprised by the side, and asked Tian Kun: "Uncle Tian, ​​why is this? You don't always speak straight, why this time?"

Tian Kun slowly closed his eyes and did not speak. He looked isolated from the world, as if he was escaping from something. It seemed that as long as he kept his eyes closed, nothing happened, and it was another ordinary day.

Yu Fan asked directly: "Are you worried that if you tell us ginseng directly, we won't have the motivation to search for it in the mountains?"

Tian Kun didn't open his eyes, but his nostrils opened slightly, and his breathing began to speed up.Although Tian Kun had a calm expression, Yu Fan could feel that his breath was disturbed, his heart... was disturbed.

The atmosphere in the house was very strange. Shen Wei and the old village head felt incredible about Tian Lao's behavior. If what Chen Xiangyang and the others said was true, then is this Tian Lao the same Tian Lao they knew?

Seeing Tian Kun like this, Chen Xingyang was really angry. If he hadn't considered Tian Kun's age, he would have gone up and slapped Tian Kun now.

Guo Na looked at Yu Fan quietly, and then at Tian Kun. She believed that Yu Fan could solve all these mysteries.

Everyone in the room focused on Tian Kun, expecting some response from Tian Kun.Only Yu Fan didn't. Yu Fan didn't pay attention to Tian Kun, but stared straight at the medicine jar.

"That 'wu' is actually 'five', right?" Yu Fan asked.

Tian Kun still closed his eyes, but opened his mouth slightly, inhaling and exhaling.

Everyone looked at Yu Fan in amazement, puzzled.

Yu Fan said in a deep and deep voice: "The word 'wu' on the table at Bai Xiaoxue's house actually means 'five'!" (The foreshadowing of Chapter 163)

Tian Kun seemed to be unable to sit still, and moved his butt involuntarily.

Yu Fan: "Before, I thought that the 'wu' engraved on Xiaoxue's table meant the team. It was engraved by Bai Xiaoxue's fingernails on the table at home when she was bored when she missed Shichao enlisted in the army. But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. Why just engrave the word 'Wu'? If you really miss Shichao, wouldn't it be easier to engrave 'Shi' or other characters? My previous guess was too far-fetched."

Guo Na: "Then what is the relationship between this 'Wu' and the ginseng we are looking for?"

Yu Fan: "Let me speak slowly. Mr. Tian, ​​the word 'Wu' means 'Wu Lingzhi', right?"

Tian Kun opened his eyes suddenly, there were too many complicated emotions written in those eyes, including surprise, panic, shame, anger, and a little unwillingness.

Yu Fan pointed to the jar on the table: "The 'Wu' in Bai Xiaoxue's family is the same as the 'Wu' on this jar!" At this moment, everyone looked carefully at the medicine jar of Wulingzhi that Elder Tian was holding just now. On the side of the jar, the word 'Wu' was vaguely written.

In fact, when it comes to this, everyone still doesn't understand the reason, but everyone has already realized the strangeness of this incident.

The old village chief asked, "Young man, do you mean that this matter is still related to the dead Bai Xiaoxue?"

Yu Fan nodded: "If my reasoning is correct, it is exactly so. Everything we have experienced in the past few days is related to the murder case decades ago!"

"Murder case? What murder case did we have decades ago?" The old village chief asked in surprise, "Although I was young at that time, I knew all the big and small things in the village, and I never left the village. , I have never heard of any murder!"

Yu Fan said coldly, "It's Bai Xiaoxue's murder."

The old village head regained his calm expression, and said: "Oh, it was her. But here we don't call it a murder case. Xiaoxue died because of her own heart disease and mental exhaustion. We call it a death with hatred, a tragic death."

Yu Fan: "Bai Xiaoxue didn't die because of heart disease at all!" Yu Fan paused and said, "This is an unscrupulous man-made murder case!"

Tian Kun felt parched and got up to pour water.

The old village chief was completely at a loss when Yu Fan said this, and asked: "How can you make such an inference about what happened decades ago? And everyone knows that Bai Xiaoxue died because of a heart disease..."

"If you really have heart disease, the person who has heart disease is not Bai Xiaoxue!! Right? Old Tian." Yu Fan interrupted the old village chief.

"Crack!" Tian Kun had just poured the water, and when he heard Yu Fan's words, he lost his grip on the cup in his hand and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Seeing Elder Tian's agitation, the old village head went over to support him, and comforted him: "Uncle Tian, ​​don't mind, young people speak aggressively. The past is over, and you told them Bai Xiaoxue's story too. , believe it or not.”

Yu Fan walked to the door of the room, turned his back to everyone, and said calmly, "Old Tian's version of Bai Xiaoxue's story has already been told. Now, do you want to listen to my version?"

Everyone present looked at Yu Fan in disbelief.Yu Fan slowly opened the door of the room, and the sun shone into the dark hut.
