After further investigation, it was determined that the poisoning occurred during breakfast, just before they crossed the dense forest, and all team members were suspects.
When Scar Monkey met with his teammates at the police station, the Criminal Investigation Officer had already begun a detailed investigation into the five of them.
The Travelers didn’t know much about each other’s backgrounds, but once the police got involved, everything changed.
Miao Lang, originally named Liu Shubai, was from X City.
Two years ago, his wife died suddenly in a traffic accident. Following that, he left his job at the hospital and moved to Yicheng, where he opened a cosmetic surgery clinic.
This timeline coincided perfectly with when Hei Wuchang replaced Bai Wuchang at Yicheng University.
During Bai Wuchang's interrogation, although he was mentally unstable, he repeatedly insisted that his uncle was killed by someone else and that he had not done it himself.
According to the autopsy report, the wound was made by a surgical knife. As a surgeon, it was entirely possible for Miao Lang to carry a surgical knife as a weapon.
All signs pointed to Miao Lang, but they struggled to obtain solid evidence.
At the suggestion of a friend, Scar Monkey and journalist Hei Hua Niu carefully set up a trap.
While recounting the events, Scar Monkey deliberately raised his voice: “The egg drop soup Miao Lang made that morning was delicious! The Wuchang Ghost wouldn’t eat anyone else's food; he couldn’t help but drink a bowl. I hope we can have Miao Lang's egg drop soup again for breakfast tomorrow.”
Fearing that any slip in Hei Hua Niu's "in-depth report" could expose his act of poisoning, Miao Lang stealthily disguised himself and sneaked into the tent late at night to delete any records that could incriminate him.
It turned out that plastic surgery was a lifelong endeavor. In order for his child to live the second half of life under the identity of Li Zhiqiang, the Coal Boss bought out the latter half of a plastic surgeon's career.
Miao Lang, driven by the enormous surgical fees and hush money, sold his exquisite skills to recreate a youthful face for Hei Wuchang. In doing so, he also sold his soul, burying another boy's life with his own hands.
Later, Miao Lang, reluctant to leave his home for Yicheng with Hei Wuchang, found himself caught in a tragic plot orchestrated by the Coal Boss, who cruelly caused the death of his wife in a staged traffic accident.
From that moment on, Miao Lang became disheartened and eventually made his way to Yicheng.
Of course, the truth cannot remain hidden forever. When Miao Lang discovered the reality behind the events, he was filled with rage and sorrow. He decided to seek revenge, intending to use Li Zhiqiang, who was locked away in a cellar, to exact vengeance on the person who had destroyed his life.
However, when he released Li Zhiqiang, he found himself forced to use the surgical knife he always carried to kill Li Zhiqiang's deranged uncle and Aunt. From that point on, he sank deeper into this path of crime.
During a camping trip, he learned that Bai Wuchang and Li Zhiqiang were secretly following him. To ensure that it was Bai Wuchang who emerged from the jungle and not Hei Wuchang, he constantly searched for the right opportunity to strike.
Finally, during breakfast, he managed to have the unsuspecting Hei Wuchang drink slow-acting poison.
Afterward, Scar Monkey and Feng Wuhen walked down the mountain path together.
Scar Monkey complained lightly, "It's all your fault for picking this lousy route. This cursed place has us on edge twice now. Last time we were scared by ghosts; this time we're pretending to be ghosts ourselves."
Feng Wuhen shot back with wide eyes, "You should be grateful I got your scar fixed; you’re still not satisfied?"
At that moment, dawn quietly illuminated the valley. They looked up and could still faintly see twinkling stars above, as if whispering tales of this thrilling and secretive journey.
