Deputy Director Chen was also a little surprised when he saw her again. He glanced at Doctor Huo and then landed on her. Then he said as if he understood something, "So that's how it is."
"No wonder Dr. Ning is so outstanding, he's actually your apprentice!"
"That's because Xiaoxi is very talented." Doctor Huo said with a smile.
Ning Xi was confused. "Master, do you know Deputy Director Chen?"
"Yes, your master and I are old acquaintances. I was surprised before that it was such a coincidence that she was here too. Now that I see you, I understand." Deputy Director Chen said with a smile on behalf of Doctor Huo.
Doctor Huo smiled without saying anything, agreeing with his statement.
I see.
However, even if Master knew Deputy Director Chen, why did he call her over?
Is it because of her father's illness?
As if seeing through Ning Xi's thoughts, Doctor Huo said, "Xiao Xi, Deputy Director Chen brought some things over. I think you might know more about them than I do, so I asked you to come and take a look."
"Ah, yes, yes." Deputy Director Chen also said.
"Oh, what is it?" Ning Xi walked over to them and saw several evidence bags on the table behind them. Inside were some purple powder and a dark purple plant shaped like Pinellia ternata.
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then picked up the dried plant, looked at it and said, "Snake King Grass?"
She was a little surprised to see the intact snake king grass!
Doctor Huo nodded and said, "It looks like that to me, too. That's why I asked you to come and take a look."
Ning Xi carefully examined the snake king grass in the evidence bag, then asked Deputy Director Chen, "Can I open it and take a look?"
"certainly!"
But Doctor Huo said, "Xixi, it's inconvenient for you to be pregnant. Let me take a look."
After all, this is a highly poisonous herb. Even if you don't swallow it, it's still better to be careful.
"good."
Ning Xi handed her the evidence bag.
Deputy Director Chen was stunned for a moment because of what Doctor Huo had just said, and then he looked at Ning Xi with a more amiable look.
Doctor Huo opened the evidence bag and checked it, then discussed it with Ning Xi and found that it was definitely Snake King Grass.
But Ning Xi didn't understand why Deputy Director Chen had Snake King Grass?
Could it be that what she predicted before was true, and Snake King Grass was planted in large quantities?
However, the growing conditions of Snake King Grass are very harsh, otherwise it would not be written as extinct in the Poison Book.
Doctor Huo was equally curious, "Chen Hua, this is Snake King Grass. Where did you get it from?"
At the same time, Ning Xi picked up another packet of powder and took a look. This one was very similar to the poison Yan Ming gave her last time, but it was purer than that bottle of poison.
It seems to be just the powder of snake king grass, without any radioactive substances added.
"This..." Deputy Director Chen paused, because in principle they could not tell anyone about it because it involved their mission.
However, they recruited several identification experts, and after studying it for a long time, they were unable to identify the poisonous weed.
Therefore, he had no choice but to contact Doctor Huo with the mentality of giving it a try.
Later, when he learned that she was here, he hurried over.
Doctor Huo knew the nature of his work, and seeing that he was not in a position to explain, he said, "If it is inconvenient, there is no need to elaborate.
But there’s no doubt that this is the snake king grass.”
"Then do you know where this grass grows? How can we find it?" Deputy Director Chen asked again.
Doctor Huo thought for a moment and said, "The Book of Poisons records that this grass is afraid of cold and prefers warmth and humidity. In China, it can be found in the mountains of southwestern Yunnan, or in the mountains of Southeast Asia."
"As for how to find it..." Doctor Huo hesitated and said in a joking tone, "Perhaps you can send people to cross mountains and rivers and go deep into the forests to look for it. After all, it is unlikely to be found in the outside world."
Deputy Director Chen: “…”
He looked at Doctor Huo with a strange expression.
This is obviously not what he wanted to ask!
Ning Xi looked at him, feeling that he seemed to have something to hide.
Finally, Deputy Director Chen scratched the back of his head and said, "Forget it. You and Xiao Ning are not outsiders. It's okay to tell you these things."
As he spoke, he looked at the snake king grass in her hand and said, "About five years ago, a new drug began to appear in some parts of Southeast Asia. This drug's damage to the nerves and its control are stronger than any other drug that has appeared before, and it is difficult to quit.
We extracted a neurotoxin that had never appeared before from the confiscated drug varieties. We have been tracing its source and later learned that this poison comes from a herb.
However, those drug traffickers are very cunning, and we have not yet traced who is selling this poisonous weed and where it comes from.
All we know is that after collecting them, they will be made into seasonings, sent here for processing, and then sold all over the world.
It was only this time that we found its research and processing base and saw its true face."
"However, the drug dealers haven't been fully apprehended yet. We want to find out its source, so I came to you."
So that’s it!
Ning Xi and Doctor Huo both looked at the Snake King Grass.
Plants that were thought to be extinct were actually grown by humans and made into drugs.
But at the same time, Ning Xi felt that something seemed wrong. If the drugs were only discovered five years ago, why did her father recover his memory ten years ago but not return home?
But she soon realized that this must involve some confidential matters that were not something outsiders like them could know, so she did not ask.
Instead, he asked another question.
