Inside the tent!
Qin Yun examined each disaster victim one by one!
Last night, she had given Hong Fu a bottle of medicine, which was colorless and tasteless, indistinguishable from plain water!
She instructed Hong Fu to mix it into the porridge!
Any disaster victim who drank the porridge, she could identify through pulse diagnosis! After all, it was her concoction!
The female spy knew that Niu San had put medicine in the porridge last night!
Naturally, she wouldn't drink the porridge obediently!
Qin Yun just needed to diagnose them one by one, with Niu San's cooperation!
She figured the female spy would be found very soon!
Qin Yun was full of confidence throughout the process!
Fifteen minutes later!
When most of the female disaster victims had been diagnosed!
Qin Yun's brow furrowed slightly!
She could detect the presence of her medicine in the bodies of all the women she had already examined!
This medicine was harmless, so she wasn't worried!
But why was this happening!
Niu San, positioned behind the tent, kept shaking his head.
He hadn't heard the woman's voice!
Inside the tent!
Qin Yun looked at the last three women!
Though her expression remained calm and composed!
Her heart felt uneasy!
Following the usual procedure, she diagnosed the last three women in sequence!
Hoping to glean some information!
But in the end, she found nothing!
Niu San had also found nothing!
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes!
She began to suspect if the other spy was actually a woman!
She had finished examining the women's pulses!
Next were the men!
The men also queued up obediently!
Since there were many women among the disaster victims and few men! The men were either elderly or middle-aged!
Soon after, all the men's pulses were diagnosed!
Qin Yun fell into deep thought!
No clues were found among the women!
Nor among the men!
Where was the problem!
Qin Yun looked at Xiao Ju and said, "Are you sure... all the disaster victims have been seen? No one was missed?"
"Young Master, your servant was supervising from the side, watching each disaster victim come for diagnosis. Not a single person escaped!"
Qin Yun rubbed her temples. "I see!"
It seemed she had been careless!
The other party must have discovered something!
Therefore, they deliberately drank the porridge to deceive her!
But what about Niu San... what was going on!
Qin Yun got up and walked out of the tent!
She looked around!
Confirming that no one was around, she then went to Hong Fu!
"What's the situation with Niu San? Did he not recognize the woman's voice?"
Hong Fu sighed and shook her head.
"Master, the other party might have become suspicious!"
Qin Yun was now very troubled!
There were so many disaster victims here, yet she couldn't find the spy!
"Why is this the outcome?" Qin Yun couldn't figure it out!
"Master, what we can be sure of now is that the person is among this crowd!"
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes. "As long as that person is still here, there will be a way to find them! Inform Niu San to proceed with the second plan! Use a code to lure them out!"
Qin Yun raised her gaze!
Looking at the sky, it was almost noon!
If this attempt failed!
It would mean the other party knew about what happened last night!
And Niu San's defection to her side would no longer be a secret!
At noon!
Niu San, as instructed by Qin Yun!
Came to the outhouse as agreed, coughed three times, and then touched his head with his left hand!
After completing the series of actions, Niu San returned to his tent!
Then came the long wait!
Niu San waited from noon until evening!
The person never appeared!
When Hong Fu delivered the news to Qin Yun, Qin Yun was somewhat disappointed!
Inside the tent!
"Hong Fu, do you think a person... can change their voice at will?" Qin Yun had been thinking about this from day to night. The only loophole was the voice!
Among the disaster victims, regardless of gender, Qin Yun had asked Niu San to listen to everyone's voices, but Niu San couldn't identify anyone!
So the only possibility was... that person had altered their voice!
"Master, now that you mention it, your servant recalls a unique skill in the martial world called ventriloquism!"
"Ventriloquism?"
Hong Fu nodded. "Yes, anyone who masters this skill can alter their voice at will!"
"Meaning, the woman's voice Niu San heard, this person might not be a woman, but a man disguised as one?"
"Precisely, so our initial assumption was wrong!"
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance. "This person knows ventriloquism and can change their voice at will, what can we do!"
Qin Yun fell into a dilemma!
"Master, there's no rush with this matter. Your servant will think of a way. It's getting late, you should sleep in the tent tonight. Xiao Ju must have prepared your bed for you!"
"You should also rest early, and we'll think of a way tomorrow!" After saying this, Qin Yun returned to her tent!
After Qin Yun left!
Hong Fu leaped into the air!
And flew to a forest!
"Come out! Master needs your help with this matter!" Hong Fu scanned the surroundings!
The next second!
Leng Feng and Leng Ye descended!
"You woman, quite clever! Realizing we brothers are nearby!" Leng Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Stop the nonsense. Master has been busy all day, but the other party is too cunning. They've used ventriloquism to cause trouble."
Leng Ye frowned. "Ventriloquism? This person has such a skill?"
"That's right. Our people couldn't identify the person's voice. I suspect the person can change their tone, meaning ventriloquism!"
Seeing Leng Feng and Leng Ye frozen in place, Hong Fu asked nervously, "You can't do anything about this either?"
Leng Ye chuckled. "This matter is difficult, but not impossible for us. Don't worry, we will find that spy!!"
Seeing that Leng Feng and Leng Ye had agreed, Hong Fu smiled with satisfaction!
As long as these two acted, Master's matters would be settled!
"Alright, I'll be going back now!"
Hong Fu smiled and then left!
After watching Hong Fu leave!
Leng Feng turned his gaze!
And said to Leng Ye, "Ventriloquism? If that girl hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten we have this unique skill!"
Leng Ye chuckled. "Tonight, go show off your ventriloquism! Let's see whose ventriloquism is better, theirs or yours!"
The two exchanged smiles and then disappeared from their original spots!
The next day!
Everything returned to normal!
The spy wasn't found, but the work that needed to be done still had to be done!
Initially, Qin Yun had planned to have these disaster victims build houses on the outskirts of the city, allocate land, and settle down!
But they had their own hometowns, and some still wanted to reunite with their families!
So... this idea was not feasible for now!
The most important thing was to allow these disaster victims to return to their own lands, that was the key!
A day passed quickly!
After noon!
Qin Yun intended to wander around and see if she could find any clues!
But at this moment, a servant reported that two men among the disaster victims had started fighting!
Qin Yun was a bit confused, why were they fighting for no reason!
When she arrived at the scene with Xiao Ju and Hong Fu!
Hong Fu recognized Leng Feng in disguise at first glance!
Leng Feng was deliberately causing trouble!
The man who was provoked... was the spy!
Hong Fu seemed to understand the situation!
But Qin Yun didn't know Leng Feng!
Naturally, she didn't consider this possibility!
"What's going on? Why are you fighting for no reason?"
It was less of a fight and more like the thin man was being beaten by Leng Feng!
Leng Feng deliberately lowered his head, hunched his back, and said slowly, "This person was acting suspiciously. I just saw him release a carrier pigeon. I suspect he's not a good person! I wanted to stop him, but he attacked me!"
