Chapter 37 Poisoning
That night Zhou Chen brought many detectives to lurk outside the Badao Martial Arts School. As cases had been happening every day in the past few days and the government was not sure who their next target would be, they simply lurked outside the Badao Martial Arts School.
As long as they go out to the yamen where the crime was committed, they will know that Zhou Chen is sitting alone on the rooftop in the distance, overlooking the entire Badao Martial Arts School.
In addition to Heiyuan, Zhou Chen also carried an iron bow on his back this time. This bow was brought out from the yamen. This iron bow is extremely powerful.
According to Zhao Kuo, the range of this iron bow under the full moon state reached 200 meters, but this was just his estimate. After all, it took a lot of strength to pull the bow, and Zhao Kuo himself couldn't pull it.
However, this was a piece of cake for Zhou Chen now. He pulled the iron bow on the spot and tried it out. At a distance of seventy meters, the arrow shot directly through the target.
Zhou Chen estimated that with this force, he could shoot through a warrior who had mastered the Iron Shirt to a small degree within seventy meters, but he would need a special arrowhead to do so.
Zhou Chen put Heiyuan aside and looked at the entire martial arts hall quietly. The sky was very good tonight, with a full moon hanging high in the sky, which had little impact on the vision.
Everything was fine in the first half of the night, until the second half when Zhou Chen noticed several dark shadows flashing in the martial arts hall. There were about five or six people running in six directions respectively.
"Damn it, it's really you. You knew you were being targeted by the government, but you still dared to commit crimes. You're really asking for trouble."
Without saying a word, Zhou Chen drew his bow and shot directly at the man in black who was running towards him. Zhou Chen's arrow did not take his life, but directly shot through his calf.
The arrow pierced his calf and was directly nailed to the distant wall. The man in black screamed and fell directly from the roof.
The constables who were lying in ambush nearby immediately stepped forward and grabbed him. Zhou Chen ignored him and turned around to chase the other people. Due to the distance, the other people did not hear the screams of the man in black.
Zhou Chen now ran at a speed of 18 and quickly caught up with the two men. He did the same thing and the other two men were shot in the calves and fell directly from the roof.
Afterwards, there was a chase and two more people were shot down, but at this time the whereabouts of one person was unknown. After Zhou Chen arranged for several constables to take the man back, he continued to guard outside the Badao Martial Arts School.
Since I can't catch up with him, I might as well wait outside the martial arts gym. I'm sure he will come back after committing the crime.
After waiting for almost two hours, the escaped man in black really came running towards him from a distance. What surprised Zhou Chen was that he ran in a very embarrassed manner, and it seemed that someone was chasing him.
Judging from her figure, she should be a woman, but her face was not clear. Zhou Chen immediately jumped towards her. When she got closer, Zhou Chen found that the woman chasing her was actually the county magistrate's daughter, Xia Rong.
"I wonder why this girl is here?"
At this time, the man in black had not discovered Zhou Chen yet. It seemed that he was being chased and became anxious. He took out a handful of flying needles from his arms and threw them behind him.
Xia Rong had been chasing all the way and had let down her guard a little. Suddenly, a flying needle flew towards her. Xia Rong was shocked and dodged in a panic. Although she avoided most of the hidden weapons, she was still stabbed by a few needles, but it was not a big deal.
Zhou Chen put away the iron bow and rushed towards the man in black. The man in black had a baby in his hand. Zhou Chen didn't dare to shoot the arrow for fear of hurting the baby.
The man in black only felt the danger coming and looked in the direction where Zhou Chen was rushing towards. He saw a man with an iron bow on his back rushing towards him, and the speed was so fast that he could not avoid it.
Zhou Chen was not polite either. He came to the man in black at an extremely fast speed and slapped him. The man in black had no time to react and was hit directly, stunned on the spot.
Zhou Chen took advantage of the man's confusion and snatched the baby from his hand. The man in black finally reacted after the baby was taken away. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen turned around and used his back to block the dagger to protect the baby. Seeing that Zhou Chen actually left his back to him, the man in black was overjoyed and increased the strength of his hand. He originally thought that Zhou Chen was dead, but unexpectedly, the dagger stabbed Zhou Chen's back and made a metallic sound, which shocked the man in black.
Zhou Chen sneered, turned around and kicked him in the chest. The man in black fell directly from the roof. This kick broke at least five of his ribs.
After dealing with him, Zhou Chen looked towards Xia Rong and found that Xia Rong's body was shaking and she was in danger of falling off the roof.
"Not good," Zhou Chen directly activated the Wind Control function and used a gust of wind to hold Leng Yiyao's body, then he quickly ran over and assisted him with one hand.
"Xia Rong, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Rong did not respond to him, but leaned on his shoulder and fainted. Only then did Zhou Chen realize that his lips had turned black.
"Damn, it's poisoned."
Zhou Chen did not know how to detoxify, so after handing the baby to his constable, he took Leng Yiyao directly back to the yamen. With Yufeng's help, Zhou Chen returned to the yamen in just four minutes.
After Zhao Kuo learned about it, he quickly gave Leng Yiyao an antidote pill, and then asked his constables to quickly ask for a doctor, "This antidote pill can only temporarily suppress the poison, but cannot eliminate it."
After putting him away, Zhou Chen asked, "Why did Miss Xia also participate in this mission?"
In Zhou Chen's mind, women should stay at home and these things should be done by men like them.
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. She ran away on her own. Now that Lord Xia is not here, I would be so sorry to Lord Xia if anything happened to this girl."
Soon the doctor was called back. After examining the patient, the doctor said, "This poison is very strong and there is nothing he can do about it. The only doctor in the entire Qinghua County who can cure this poison is Doctor Hua." He then fed Xia Rong a pill and wrote out a prescription.
This medicine can only keep the girl healthy for three days. If Doctor Hua has not arrived after three days, the doctor didn't say anything else. Zhao Kuo guessed what he meant. After sending the doctor away, Zhao Kuo asked someone to boil the medicine quickly, and he went to find Doctor Hua in person.
Zhou Chen asked Leng Yiyao to stay and take care of Xia Rong, and he followed her out.
Doctor Hua is very famous in Qinghua County. Zhao Kuo and Zhou Chen soon arrived at Doctor Hua's residence. The door was closed at this time, so Zhou Chen went forward and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time without anyone answering, Zhou Chen said angrily, "If you don't open the door, I will use force. Don't blame me if your broken door collapses."
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, the door opened immediately. It was a servant who opened the door. "Why are you shouting? Do you know whose house this is?"
Zhao Kuo quickly stepped forward with his crutches and said, "I am Zhao Kuo, the chief constable of Qinghua County. We have something urgent to discuss with Doctor Hua. Please let him know."
When he heard that it was the captain's servant, he changed his attitude and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our master has a rule that he doesn't see guests at night. You should know that."
Zhou Chen immediately said, "Human life is at stake, why bother with that?"
The servant said, "Please don't make things difficult for me. This is our master's rule that he does not treat patients at night. It will be useless even if you break in today and forcibly wake him up."
Zhou Chen pushed him away and was about to go in and take out the genius doctor Hua, but Zhao Kuo stopped him and said, "Forget it, genius doctor Hua does have this rule."
