Chapter 24 Investigation
On the way to the northern desert.

"Who is that Southern Snake? He seems to have taken a fancy to you." Qin Chuan asked Yue Mei.

Yue Mei looked at Qin Chuan contemptuously, and said, "Don't mention him, I will get angry when I think of him."

Hua She'er quietly introduced to Qin Chuan, saying, "Nan Snake is Sister Yue Mei's suitor, and he doesn't like him at all, and he still follows her facelessly, but he has been rejected all the time."

"Nan Snake is the same leader as Sister Yuemei, both of them are fighting kings, and they think that only they are worthy of her.

Everywhere he advertised that he was Sister Yuemei's man, which made Sister Yuemei very distressed. You saw it just now, when the Southern Snake came, Sister Yuemei couldn't avoid it. "Hua Snake said.

"It turns out that I was used as a shield just now." Qin Chuan complained.

Yue Mei: "You don't take it seriously, do you?"

Qin Chuan immediately replied: "How is this possible, I have already guessed it."

"That's good." Yue Mei looked at Qin Chuan and said.

Come to the north of the desert, where the snake man said.

Seeing the desolate tall sand dunes come into view, Qin Chuan asked with his arms crossed, "Is this the place where the figure was found?"

"It's here." She Dabao nodded and said.

"There is nothing strange here, is the security here tight?"

"The precautions are the same everywhere." Dabao Snake replied.

"That's quite strange." Qin Chuan pouted his mouth and walked towards the sand dune with his hips akimbo. "Why did you choose this place?"

Walking to the top of the sand dune, Qin Chuan thought hard, and gradually raised his head.

A large piece of green appeared in the golden desert, which gave people a strong sense of impact and was very shocking.

It was an oasis.

"I think I understand." Qin Chuan said silently in his heart.

Immediately asked: "What's the difference in the oasis over there?"

"That's the biggest oasis we have here, and a lot of water is taken from it, other than that, it's no different."

Everyone came to the oasis, and on one side was the endless golden desert with hot waves.On the other side is the green legend with luxuriant grass and rippling waves.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unimaginable that such beautiful scenery would be in one place one after another.

Thinking of entering the oasis for the first time, although it was also very shocking, it was not as good as here.

The shock from the tribal buildings to the oasis, from the desert to the oasis is completely different.

People found pits on the way to the water source, which were confirmed to be human footprints.

The size of the footprints is different, and there should be several people. This also proves that the words of She Dabao are not false, and that humans did break in.

"Look, there are people here!" Hua She'er called from the side.

People rushed to the bush where Hua Snake was. She Dabao rolled up his sleeves and pulled into the bush, and several hideous snake men were pulled out.

Sallow and emaciated, skinny, as if his body had been sucked dry.

The eyes of Snake Dabao were protruding from these mummified corpses.

Because the clothes of these three snake people are similar to those of the big snake snake, they should all be members of the snake body guard.

Although they are no longer in shape, but no matter what, they are good brothers who went through life and death with She Dabao.

"A few days ago, they reported to me that someone was missing, and they wanted to come to you together after finishing their work.

I didn't expect that you guys already..." She Dabao said in pain with tears in his voice.

Hua She'er comforted her at the side.

Qin Chuan pinched the chin of the snake man's mummified corpse, and turned left and right to take a closer look. It was exactly the same as the dead body he saw on the street just now, which meant that they all died of the plague.

Yue Mei took out the silver needle and stuck it into the corpse, and when she took it out again, the silver needle had turned black.

"Poisoning!" The people said in unison.

When I tried it in the lake again, the silver needles immediately turned black, so I knew the source of the plague.

According to the introduction of the snake man, there is not only an oasis in the tribe, but also the scope of infection is so wide. "There should be other poisoning points."

It is obviously impossible for so many snake people to be poisoned by poisoning only in such a place. Qin Chuan guessed that they used a multi-pronged approach and poisoned other oases.

There are a few doubts that the snake-man tribe is heavily guarded, and the poisoners will not wander around, poisoning the oasis one by one, and then leave quietly in the future.

It was very difficult to be discovered by the snake people when they left at the end.

"What if they are all very powerful, able to enter and exit without a trace? For example, like a leader, or stronger." Hua Sheer scratched her head and said.

"It is indeed possible, but there is no shortage of masters in the tribe. They have sneaked in like this. I think the masters should be able to feel their aura. How can they feel like they are at home?"

People bowed their heads and thought for a moment.

"It seems to be the case." Yue Mei nodded affirmatively, "What about other suspicious points?"

Qin Chuan added: "As we said just now, they sneaked into the oasis without being discovered, and the experts didn't notice it. I saw the tribe's map and found something unreasonable."

"Water is the source of life. The snake tribe cannot do without water, whether it is labor, farming or daily life, and water is extremely precious in the desert. The water in the desert comes from oases..."

The Big Snake at the side twitched his mouth, "Then, what do you think this has to do with the plague?"

Qin Chuan smiled indifferently, and said, "Didn't you find out that everyone's houses are built in oases in order to make water more convenient, except for the largest oasis in the original ceremony?"

People looked at each other, "That's actually true."

With a "snap", Qin Chuan clapped his fists, "It means that the area around the oasis is very lively, and there are a lot of people, right?" Qin Chuan asked.

After such a little flick, Yue Mei Mao suddenly opened up.

She said: "I understand, passing by so many people, even if you can't feel the breath, you should be seen by people, but they don't, there is definitely a problem!"

Qin Chuan cocked his mouth, agreed, and said, "These people who broke in should be very familiar with this place, and they can only be so familiar with the paths and buildings."

"You mean they have a map?" Yue Mei asked.

Qin Chuan's tone hesitated, "Actually, there are other possibilities..." His words stopped.

"You mean to say, don't be a fool." Snake Dabao said eagerly.

"It's also possible that the inside and the outside are cooperating. There are snake people secretly helping to poison the tribe, and they are in the same group as those people."

The snake people claim to be like-minded, if there is such a thing that the snake people kill the snake people, there will probably be an uproar in the tribe.

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Yue Mei's body was the leader of the snake people and her face turned green on the spot.

"It's just a guess, don't take it too seriously." Qin Chuan comforted.

"Let's go and see other oases to see if the guess is right." Qin Chuan said with some embarrassment.

The Snake Dabao stood there like statues, and it seemed that the blow was not light.

Later, after an afternoon of searching, we went to the oases one by one to measure, and all the lakes were poisoned without exception.

Yuemei hurriedly issued an order to inform the snake people to save water and stop taking oasis water.

Qin Chuan frowns and stays by the oasis lake, his face is not relaxed, "It seems that I guessed right, this is a big conspiracy!"
