Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

The next day, at the Xuanhu Medical Clinic.

Shen Han had just stepped into the front yard and hadn't even had time to go to the kitchen for breakfast when he was pulled into the inner room.

"What's going on?"

Upon entering the house, he discovered five servants lying on the bamboo mats on the inner floor.

They were all convulsing and their faces were deathly pale.

"Dr. Shen, I don't know how, but these five people have become like this. We can only rely on you..."

"Hmm, let me take a look!"

Shen Han immediately performed acupuncture on the five people for diagnosis.

As the silver needle pierced through, he immediately frowned.

Because the five people's conditions were exactly the same as those of Old Huang and Manager Qian before!

"Get them the medicine according to the prescription!"

Shen Han used the same trick again, immediately arranging for someone to administer the medicine according to Qian Cheng's prescription from yesterday.

Then, turning to Ou Chengguang, he asked, "Junior Brother Ou, what were the results of your investigation at Tianxiang Tower yesterday?"

Ou Chengguang shook his head: "Reporting to Physician Shen, Tianxianglou is basically not a suspect."

"So...where's the problem?"

Shen Han pondered that it couldn't possibly be a coincidence that seven people at the clinic had been poisoned in a row! Moreover, this poison was highly toxic, and without timely treatment, it would be fatal!

"Let's go back to the clinic first."

With no clues at the moment, Shen Han took Ou Chengguang back to the clinic to see patients.

One hour later.

The five servants took the medicine and gradually regained their senses.

Ou Chengguang brought back news from the inner room. According to the five of them, they didn't know how they were poisoned, and they hadn't been to Tianxiang Tower this month.

"Could it be...?"

Shen Han's heart skipped a beat. "The trigger is in our clinic?"

This matter cannot be taken lightly; I must have a serious discussion with Master Han!

So he hurried to the owner's room.

They knocked on the door.

"It's Xiao Shen, come in and talk to me!"

Han Zhengming was delighted to see that the visitor was Shen Han and hurriedly welcomed him inside.

Shen Han said seriously, "Master Han, you know about the poisoning of the five servants just now, right?"

"Yes."

Han Zhengming said, "I'm also very puzzled. What exactly is going on at our clinic these past few days?"

Shen Han analyzed, word by word, "I think that after ruling out external factors, the problem might be with the drinking water inside our Xuanhu Medical Clinic."

Han Zhengming was shocked: "Water?"

The Xuanhu Medical Clinic has three wells, from which it draws water for daily medical treatment and living.

"How could this have happened out of nowhere?"

"Master Han, we need to investigate this thoroughly."

"Okay, do everything according to Xiao Shen's wishes!"

Han Zhengming has complete trust in Shen Han.

As he spoke, he immediately summoned the guard captain, Zhan Chaoyang. The three of them, with solemn expressions, headed straight for the three wells in the courtyard.

The first well is right next to the owner's room.

"Guard Zhan, this is a matter of expediency, so I'll have to trouble you to go down the well yourself and take a look."

Han Zhengming said to Zhan Chaoyang.

"I see!"

Without saying a word, Zhan Chaoyang took off his coat and slowly slid down using the rope.

Whoosh!

The sound of rushing water could be heard, indicating that Zhan Chaoyang had clearly dived to the bottom.

Soon, Zhan Chaoyang returned to the wellhead.

"How is it?"

Han Zhengming said anxiously.

Zhan Chaoyang quickly replied, "Reporting to the Master, no abnormalities were found at the bottom of the well, and the water quality is very good."

"Okay, let's go to the second well." Han Zhengming said without delay.

The second well is located in the backyard.

After Zhan Chaoyang's careful inspection, he still couldn't find anything strange in the well.

"Isn't it well water?"

Han Zhengming's eyebrows furrowed.

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Han.

Shen Han said calmly, "Master Han, please be patient. Let's finish investigating the third well first."

"Um."

The third well is next to the clinic's kitchen.

This time, as expected, Zhan Chaoyang finally made a major discovery at the bottom of the well.

"Look, curator!"

After jumping out of the well, Zhan Chaoyang threw the two things he was holding onto the ground.

"toad!"

Han Zhengming was breathing heavily.

These are two dead toads, each about the size of a palm. The toads' bodies are swollen and have turned black all over, clearly indicating that they contain potent poison.

"Guard Zhan, may I borrow your longsword?"

Shen Han cleaved the toad in two with a single stroke.

The next moment, streams of pus gushed out, and in addition, there were many iron blocks inside the toad's belly.

"Someone did this on purpose!"

The three of them reached a consensus instantly.

It is obvious that the perpetrators created these two poisonous toads and then sank them into the well to poison the people at the clinic. To prevent the toads from surfacing and being exposed, they also added iron blocks to increase their weight.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Han Zhengming gritted his teeth in anger, "Over the years, my medical clinic has always run its business honestly and never made enemies. Why have we suffered such a calamity?"

Shen Han stared at the toad corpse and said, "This poison takes effect relatively slowly, often starting in older people."

"No wonder Old Huang and Manager Qian were poisoned a few days ago!"

Zhan Chaoyang suddenly realized.

Han Zhengming exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Shen, does this mean that each of us has come into contact with or even ingested the venom?"

"Exactly!"

Shen Han did not deny it, "Those who haven't developed symptoms yet either have martial arts skills like Guard Zhan, or are physically strong like Master Han."

But if this continues, the poison will eventually take effect.

"Master Han, I will personally prepare the medicine later. Everyone in the entire clinic will need to take it."

"That's exactly right!"

Han Zhengming adopted Shen Han's suggestion.

At the same time, Han Zhengming made a decisive decision and notified the doctors to temporarily close their clinics.

Before long, the entire clinic knew about the toad poisoning.

Why is this happening?

No wonder I've been feeling so down these past few days.

"Fortunately, we have Doctor Shen."

"Yes, we'll be fine after we drink the medicine."

Next, under Han Zhengming's orders, the entire clinic mobilized from top to bottom to conduct a thorough search of every corner of the clinic.

Fortunately, apart from the well, no other abnormalities were found.

Han Zhengming breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said, "From now on, all water used in the clinic must be disinfected first."

In addition, everything purchased must be strictly checked.

Our clinic is a place for healing and saving lives; we absolutely cannot allow viruses to infiltrate it!

Everyone knew the matter was of great importance and complied.

"Xiao Shen, come to my room for a moment."

Han Zhengming called Shen Han into the room.

Shen Han asked, "Master Han, if I'm not mistaken, you're worried about the entire Sanhe County, aren't you?"

"Little Shen, you're really clever!"

Han Zhengming nodded.

Indeed, the poisoning of the clinic is very strange, and it's difficult to understand the killer's motive. Judging from this, perhaps the killer's target wasn't just the clinic!

If the perpetrator does not stop, the number of people suffering will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

"However, we currently have difficulty verifying who exactly created the toad."

Shen Han said slowly.

Taking a deep breath, Han Zhengming said, "Therefore, I've decided to go to the county government office to see Magistrate He. I'll explain the seriousness of the situation to him and make him take it seriously. Perhaps that's the only way to save Sanhe County. Xiao Shen, what do you think?"

"Master Han, you are truly a man of unparalleled righteousness!"

Shen Han had no objection to this.

With the county government taking action, whether it's apprehending the murderer or controlling the spread of the virus, the efforts will undoubtedly be more effective.
