　　At this moment, Ye Qiu only felt that his heart was in excruciating pain, as if being twisted by a knife, and tears couldn’t stop flowing down.
　　Even he himself didn’t know why this was happening？
　　Could it be because of this person in front of him called Ghost Servant？
　　I don’t even know him, what does his death have to do with me？
　　But for some reason, Ye Qiu had a feeling of being heartbroken, as if he had lost a very important relative.
　　It was not until a full three minutes later that Ye Qiu’s emotions gradually subsided. At this time, he remembered the last few words that Ghost Servant had said.
　　“The thing is at the foot of the stone bed. What is it？”
　　“He also said it was left for me, but I don’t even know him！”
Ye Qiu’s mind was filled with confusion, and he walked to the side of the stone bed and shone a flashlight on it.
　　Soon, at the foot of the stone bed, he saw a brick.
　　The inside of this brick had been hollowed out. If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Qiu had opened the Celestial Eye, he might not have noticed it for a while.
　　Ye Qiu picked up the brick and saw that there was a cloth-like thing inside. He took it out and opened it to see that it was actually a map.
　　Although the map was very old and stained with some blood, the mountains and rivers drawn on it could be clearly seen.
　　In the lower left corner of the map, there were also two very small seal script characters. Ye Qiu identified them for a long time before he recognized them.
　　”Hidden treasure！”
　　Ye Qiu’s heart trembled.
　　Could it be that this is a treasure map？
　　He held the map in his hand and observed it back and forth. He found that there was actually a faint fragrance emitting from the map, which made Ye Qiu very surprised. He lowered his head and sniffed.
　　Suddenly, a faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils.
　　In an instant, Ye Qiu felt that all his fatigue was swept away and he was in a happy mood.
　　”This is… Shu Brocade！”
　　Ye Qiu was shocked.
　　Shu Brocade has a history of more than two thousand years. The raw material is silk, which is extremely precious. Its production process is cumbersome and the production efficiency is low. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying of “an inch of brocade is an inch of gold.”
　　In the past, Shu Brocade was a luxury that only the royal family and high-ranking officials could enjoy.
　　This treasure map was actually made of Shu Brocade. It can be seen that it must have an extraordinary origin.
　　Ye Qiu looked at it carefully for a long time but didn’t see any clue. Then he put away the treasure map.
　　It was not until this time that he remembered that he had forgotten to ask the ghost servant an important question.
　　The poison of Datura is not contagious, that is to say, the five households and twelve people in the residential building died from direct contact with the poison of Datura.
　　But how did they come into contact with the poison of Datura？
　　There is no doubt that the ghost servant is the source of the poison.
　　What Ye Qiu didn’t figure out was the transmission route.
　　He took a flashlight and searched around for a while. Finally, in a corner, he saw a square pool.
At this time, the water in the pool was black and filled with a stench. Youdaoplaceholder0, there was also poison in the water.
　　Subsequently, Ye Qiu saw a pipe in the pool again.
　　This pipe penetrated the Buddha’s head from the inside of the pool and extended outside.
　　Other than that, there were no other valuable clues.
　　“Presumably, those people’s poisoning should be related to this pipe.”
　　Ye Qiu was about to leave and go explore where the pipe extended to. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped again.
　　His gaze fell on the ghost servant.
　　“After being poisoned by Datura, you can still hold on for more than twenty years. This kind of patience is definitely not ordinary.”
　　“Although we have never met before, I got a treasure map from your hand. I won’t take this gift for nothing.”
　　“I will find the person who poisoned you and avenge you.”
　　“Rest　in　peace！”
　　Ye Qiu bowed three times and left this place.
　　Because the ghost servant was poisoned, Ye Qiu couldn’t take the ghost servant’s body out for burial.
　　Back on the ground.
　　Gu Feng couldn’t wait to ask, “Brother Ye Qiu, how is it？ Any discoveries？”
　　Yang Qi also asked curiously, “Doctor Ye, what’s inside the Buddha’s head？”
　　“There is a person living inside.” Ye Qiu said.
　　“Where is the person？”
　　Gu Feng and Yang Qi looked at each other in dismay, both feeling very surprised.
　　“It can’t be. Living inside the Buddha’s head, what does he eat？ What does he drink？” Yang Qi felt very incredible.
　　Gu Feng also didn’t quite believe it.
　　“There is indeed a person living inside, but when I went in, he was already dead. I found the poison of Datura stramonium on his corpse.”
　　Ye Qiu didn’t tell the truth.
　　Because of the words that the ghost servant said, including the identity of the ghost servant, he still hadn’t figured it out.
“So it seems that it should be the deceased who was poisoned by Datura stramonium and then spread it to the residents in “the residential building.” Gu Feng frowned and said, “There is one more thing that I can’t figure out.”
　　“You mean the transmission route, right？” Ye Qiu asked.
　　“Yes.” Gu Feng nodded and said, “How did the five households and twelve people in the residential building get poisoned？”
　　“There is a pool inside the Buddha’s head, and there is the poison of Datura stramonium in the pool. I also saw a pipe in the pool, and that pipe extends out. I think that pipe is very likely the transmission route. Let’s check it carefully again！”
　　Ye Qiu led Gu Feng and Yang Qi and started looking at the scene.
　　Soon, they found the pipe.
　　This pipe extends from inside the Buddha’s head to the vegetable field, a full one hundred and more meters long.
　　Because it was buried in the soil, they didn’t see it before.
　　Ye Qiu also did a spot check on the scene. Sure enough, there was the poison of Datura stramonium in the vegetable field.
　　Not only that, there is also the poison of Datura stramonium on the vegetables.
　　When Ye Qiu checked the residential building earlier, he found vegetables in every household.
　　At this point, everything is solved.
　　The water in the pool inside the Buddha’s head flows to the vegetable field through the pipeline, causing the vegetables to be contaminated with the poison of Datura stramonium, and then the people in the residential building ate the vegetables, so the collective poisoning and death incident occurred.
　　I didn’t expect things to be like this. Brother Ye Qiu, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help, I don’t know when I would be able to find out. Thank you.” Gu Feng said gratefully.”
　　You’re welcome.” Ye Qiu reminded： “This vegetable field and the Buddha’s head must be cleaned up to avoid the spread of toxins.
　　Okay.
　　It’s getting late, and I should go back.” Ye Qiu said.”
　　Gu Feng said： “I still have to clean up the mess and won’t see you off. I’ll invite you to dinner later. Xiao Yang, send Brother Ye Qiu back.”
　　Yes！
　　On the way back to the hospital, Ye Qiu closed his eyes and leaned on the seat.
　　At this time, his mind has been thinking about those words said by the ghost servant.
　　When I mentioned my mother’s name, he seemed very excited. It seems that he should know my mother.
　　Also, who is that Ye Wushuang？
　　Why did he say not to enter the capital, otherwise there will be a catastrophe？
　　What secrets are there in the capital？
　　Beep　beep　beep——
　　Suddenly, a harsh mobile phone ringtone interrupted Ye Qiu’s thoughts.
　　Taking out the mobile phone and looking at it, it was Bai Bing who called.
　　Immediately answered the call.
　　Before Ye Qiu had time to speak, Bai Bing’s solemn voice came over： “Where are you？ Something has happened！”
