Volume 1: Linzhou Talent Case Chapter 9: Breakthrough
Although he had already guessed it, Duan Ming was extremely shocked when he heard Song Rende admit it with his own ears.
You must know that in Linyang City, Song Rende is a divine figure. No matter whether they are merchants, wealthy gentry, traffickers, and rogues in the market, everyone knows about him.
It is said that Song Rende once worked at the Royal Hospital in the Palace, and even the current emperor highly praised his medical skills.
Later, for unknown reasons, he resigned and returned to Linyang City, where he opened the Rende Hall and hung the pot to help the world.
Throughout Linyang City, everyone praised Song Rende for being worthy of the name of "Benevolence". He was not only a benevolent doctor, but also had fair prices, and his medical skills were unparalleled in the world.
Duan Ming had never been to Rende Hall in the past. Although when he first came to this world, Duan Ming also thought about asking Song Rende to check his pulse to see how his short life was.
But then one time, when he came here and saw the huge crowd of patients outside the door, he gave up.
Without him, he is afraid that he will not be able to be ranked even to death.
"Here, let me take a look." Song Rende gently lifted the thin blanket on Duan Ming's back and carefully inspected the stab wound on Duan Ming's back.
"Huh?" Song Rende let out a soft sigh: "Your resilience is extraordinary. It has only been a few hours, and the wound is no longer serious."
"Ah, I have a strong skin." Duan Ming said with a smile, but his mind was racing. It seems that this must be related to the strange book "The Lament of Immortality".
That symbol not only allowed me to travel through time, but it also seemed to have given me extremely strong resilience.
"Skin is strong?" Song Rende was slightly startled, took out the medicine from the tray next to him, and gently applied it on Duan Ming's wound: "This is a new word."
"Well, it's just to resist the torment." Duan Ming explained: "Miracle Doctor Song, how long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been almost six hours." Song Rende said solemnly: "The injury was not particularly serious, but the intense heat attacked the heart, which led to the fainting."
"Six hours? Then isn't it already Chen hour?" Duan Ming frowned.
"That's right." Song Rende nodded.
"Divine Doctor Song, I want to go back to the Mirror Department now. Is that okay?" Duan Ming raised his head and looked at Song Rende.
"It's okay for you to walk now." Song Rende replied, "But it's best to rest."
"Recuperate..." Duan Ming gritted his teeth, recalling the scene where Sun Wuzuo died for him: "I can't rest! There are still people waiting for me to avenge him!"
Looking at Duan Ming's expression, Song Rende let out a long sigh: "Let's go then. It just so happens that the Mirror Division has carriages and horses waiting outside. If there are any problems, come back to me in time."
"Thank you so much, Doctor Song." Duan Ming said.
After Song Rende finished giving Duan Ming the medicine, Duan Ming put on his clothes and took the car directly back to the Mirror Division.
"Mr. Duan, are you back?" Duan Ming met Liu Zhi as soon as he entered the gate of the Mirror Department.
"Well." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Master Liu, how is the situation now? Sun Wuzuo..."
"Sun Wuzuo...has been settled." Liu Zhi paused slightly and clenched his fists: "Damn it, I will cut that bastard into pieces with a thousand knives!"
"When you were unconscious before, we had thoroughly investigated most of Linyang City, and even investigated all the butchers." Liu Zhi gave Duan Ming a thumbs up: "Mr. Duan really knows what's going on.
God, we found the butcher you mentioned in the south of the city. His height and weight are all consistent. It’s a pity that the other party seemed to have gotten the news and escaped in advance."
"Run away?" Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's better that he didn't die."
"That's right, don't worry, Mr. Duan." Liu Zhi said: "Your Excellency has already sent a letter. Sentries have been set up in all villages, towns, cities, and passes around Linyang City. That person will never escape!"
"Yes." Duan Ming nodded: "Where is Lao Xing now?"
"In his room." Liu Zhi replied.
"Okay, I'll go find him first." Duan Ming then went straight to Xing Qianqiu's room.
At this moment, Xing Qianqiu was looking through the transcripts in the room, trying to find clues.
When he saw Duan Ming walking in, he stood up hurriedly: "Mr. Duan, is your injury better? Why don't you take more rest?"
"It's no longer a serious problem." Duan Ming clasped his fists and asked, "Old Xing, when you sent someone to check the ship before, you found nothing?"
"Nothing was found." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "Mr. Duan, you are still injured, sit down and talk."
"For the River God Sacrifice, there are records of every ship entering the water. How could there be no records at all?" Duan Ming found a place to sit down and looked at Xing Qianqiu in confusion.
"Although several official ships entered the water that day, it was either after the incident occurred or they were transporting grain, salt, and no ice." Xing Qianqiu replied.
"Dry ice is not easy to preserve, so it must not have been arranged in advance." Duan Ming closed his eyes and pondered, gently touching the table next to him with his palms: "Even if the ship that Yu Lao Wu heard about left directly through the heavy fog, there must have been something there earlier.
The ship transporting dry ice will be deployed first, and the time will not be too early. But what if it is a ship that is not registered on the register?"
"Impossible." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "On normal days, it would be possible, but the river god's sacrifice is of great importance. Every year, the government sends people to search carefully, so it is impossible to miss anything."
"Haha, is it possible that the ship can still become invisible?" Duan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up: "No, maybe the other party can indeed become invisible?"
"Mr. Duan, please stop joking." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "There is no such thing as invisibility in the world."
"No, no, it's absolutely possible." Duan Ming pondered: "Our investigation of ships all comes from the records of the Shipping Department, but what if the records are wrong?"
"Wrong?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.
"That's right, if you are looking for a reason to lure someone into profit, you may not be able to fake it." Duan Ming touched his chin: "Dry ice is not easy to preserve. If you want to transport dry ice, you must make special modifications. But when transporting dry ice,
People must not be orthodox water transporters, so why do they have official ships?"
"Robbing it!" Xing Qianqiu's eyes lit up.
"That's right, we grabbed an official ice transport ship halfway and then modified it to transport dry ice." Duan Ming nodded: "Dry ice is extremely volatile. If you want to ensure that dry ice will not volatilize in a short period of time, you need to build a
'Sub-parent layer'."
"The mother layer is in the center, where dry ice is stored, and air holes are opened on it to relieve pressure."
"The sub-layer surrounds the parent layer and is filled with ice cubes, thereby lowering the temperature of the parent layer and reducing the volatilization efficiency."
"But such transformation must be time-consuming and laborious." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
"That's right!" Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "So this ship will definitely arrive late. However, since ancient times, ice transport ships have extremely strict time requirements. If they are late, they will definitely be punished."
"If this is used as an excuse." Xing Qianqiu tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "If you reprimand the person who bribed the registration with money and secretly changed the entry and exit times, the other party will definitely not be suspicious."
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "Afterwards, even if this person associated the matter together, he did not dare to say anything more. Instead, he had to help him hide it."
"Thank you, Mr. Duan!" Xing Qianqiu stood up, clasped his fists at Duan Ming and said, "I'm going to check out who is so brave!" This chapter has been completed!
