Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

An hour later.

Gu Chan sat on the edge of the iron bed, holding her cheeks with both hands, extremely speechless.

During this period, she conducted various examinations on this half of the body and even tested it with silver needles, but could not find the cause of the disease.

Even her powerful spiritual energy was helpless against this.

Seeing this, the little maid guarding the door walked up to her and said, "Manager Gu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Come, sit down." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Then she reached out and took the little maid's tender white hand and sat down next to her.

The little maid was not very old, and when Gu Chan suddenly pulled her hand, her little face turned red with embarrassment.

After sitting next to Gu Chan, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Gu Chan at all, because Gu Chan was a woman dressed as a man, and she was handsome. In the eyes of the little maid, she was a handsome boy! How could she not be moved?

Gu Chan didn't think so much, but asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, how long has this half body been lying here?"

"It's been more than a month." said the little maid.

"Then who usually feeds him?" Gu Chan asked.

The little maid thought for a moment and said, "There are people who are specially responsible for guarding the dungeon to feed it. This is my first time coming down here, and I'm a little scared."

"Where did he live before? Can you take me to see it?" Gu Chan said.

"He lives in the guard yard behind the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to go, I'll take you there." The little maid nodded in agreement.

Gu Chan didn't say anything more and immediately pulled her up and left the secret room.

Soon the two men came out of the dungeon and rushed towards the guard yard behind the City Lord's Mansion.

After arriving at the guard yard, Gu Chan found that it was empty at the moment. The guards were all guarding or patrolling the City Lord's Mansion. No one dared to come back to rest and slack off at this time.

The little maid led Gu Chan to the door of the room where the original owner of the half-body lived and said, "Manager Gu, he used to live here. After the accident, this room was locked up, and no one dared to go in normally."

"Wait for me at the door, I'll go in and take a look." Gu Chan ordered.

The little maid nodded quietly and waited obediently outside the door.

Gu Chan walked to the door, reached out and unscrewed the big lock on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as she entered the house, a musty smell hit her in the face, making her cover her mouth and nose with her hands. She walked around the house and found that there was nothing else except some furniture, some clothes and bedding, and a knife on the table.

Gu Chan walked to the table, reached out to pick up the knife on the table, pulled it out of the scabbard, and lowered her head to examine it carefully.

During this inspection, she suddenly discovered that the knife was stained with some strange green liquid. She took out a bag of silver needles from the bag on her waist, took out a silver needle, dipped it in the green liquid and tried it. The tip of the silver needle quickly turned jet black.

"What a powerful poison. I guess I have to take it to Ye Tianyang to ask him about it." Gu Chan said with a frown.

After saying that, she immediately put the knife back into the sheath, took it out of the house, and then asked the maid to take her to find Ye Tianyang.

After a while, the maid brought Gu Chan to the study.

At this time, Ye Tianyang was sitting behind his desk, processing official documents. Seeing Gu Chan coming, he stopped and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"There was no gain. I used my spiritual energy to probe into that half of the body, but I couldn't find out the cause of the disease. Anyway, that half of the body looked normal." Gu Chan said helplessly.

Ye Tianyang smiled and didn't say much.

You know, it has been more than half a year since the strange disease occurred. If it was really that easy to find the cause of the disease, he would have found it long ago. What would Gu Chan have to do with it?

So this situation was something he had expected.

Gu Chan didn't waste time talking to him. She slapped the knife in her hand on the desk and said, "This is the knife that the half-body guard used before. I found some unknown green liquid on the blade. I tested it with a silver needle and found that it is highly poisonous. I want to ask you, what kind of poison is this?"

Ye Tianyang took the knife and pulled it out, carefully examining the green liquid on the blade, then frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Green King Powder, which is only available in Wuyuanfang, the largest pharmacy in Yaoye City."

"It's been so long, you wouldn't have failed to notice the poison on the knife, right?" Gu Chan asked.

"I didn't find it. When I found him before, there was no such thing on the knife. After that, I had someone lock all his belongings in his room." Ye Tianyang explained.

Gu Chan stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "No way! Could it be that someone else had used his knife later?"

"This is impossible. No one has entered his room since it was sealed. I think it's possible that the knife was stained with Green King Powder before. This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is usually difficult to detect when it is on the knife. It will only change color after it sees blood." Ye Tianyang said.

"Oh! So that's how it is! That is to say, the triggering condition for a poison like Green King Powder is that it must come into contact with blood. If it doesn't come into contact with blood, it is actually difficult for its toxicity to take effect, right?" Gu Chan asked.

Ye Tianyang nodded without comment.

Gu Chan made a prompt decision, "Okay, I'll leave the knife with you first, I'll go to Wuyuanfang to take a look."

"Do you want me to send two guards to accompany you?" Ye Tianyang said.

"No need, this little maid is enough. And to put it bluntly, you don't need to send anyone to monitor me. I won't do anything bad. Just let me act freely." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

After saying that, she left with the little maid.

Ye Tianyang sat there, looking at the knife in his hand with a gloomy face, and fell into deep thought.

He also didn't understand why his guard's knife was stained with the poison Green King Powder. Before the guard got into trouble, he never gave any orders to the guard to buy any poison.

Therefore, the appearance of this poison is indeed somewhat puzzling.

At noon, Gu Chancai brought her little maid and leisurely came to the gate of Wuyuanfang.

As the largest pharmacy in Yaoye City, Wuyuanfang is five stories high. The first floor is a place for seeking medical treatment, with a dozen doctors sitting inside. The second to fifth floors are where medicines are dispensed and sold and where patients are hospitalized.

This means that, unlike an ordinary pharmacy, in modern terms, this place is more like a five-story medium-sized clinic. Patients come here for medical treatment. If their condition is too serious and they are not suitable to go home for recuperation, they can stay here and be cared for and treated by specialized personnel.

After understanding the situation, Gu Chan led the maid in.

However, what was unexpected was that when Gu Chan just entered the lobby and saw the female shopkeeper sitting behind the counter in front of her, she was dumbfounded.
