Chapter 1600 Investigation Reasons (Part 3)
Liu Ankang was not at all flustered when he heard the captain's question. He was still as calm and composed as when he sat down before.
The reason why he was so calm and composed was that when he went to the captain's house last night to tell the captain about the mountain fire, he had thought about this happening, so he had nothing to panic about.
"Captain, believe it or not, I went to that mountain yesterday just to collect herbs. You know my foot has not healed since it was broken, so I have been looking for a way to heal my foot. After all, no one wants to be disabled for life.
Just the day before yesterday, I got a prescription from a traveling doctor. He said that as long as I made the ointment according to the prescription and applied it on my feet, my feet would be healed in less than a month.
But you also know the current situation of my family. We don’t have any extra money to buy medicine to treat my feet, so I can only go to the mountains to collect herbs according to the herbal medicine map drawn by the itinerant doctor. "
After hearing what Liu Ankang said, almost everyone in the office believed it. However, the captain always felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Did you bring the prescription and herbal map?" the captain asked Liu Ankang.
"I brought it. I usually carry such important things with me." After Liu Ankang finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to the captain.
After the captain took the papers Liu Ankang handed to him, he read every piece of paper. Although he could not understand the prescription and did not know what herbs were drawn on the paper, he knew that what Liu Ankang gave him was indeed the prescription and the herbal diagram.
"Captain Liu, please show us the prescription and the herbal chart." Captain Wang said to the captain after seeing the captain finish reading the prescription and the herbal chart.
After hearing what Captain Wang said, the captain did not immediately hand the prescription and herbal map in his hand to Captain Wang, because the prescription and herbal map in his hand belonged to Liu Ankang, and he would not give the prescription and herbal map to anyone without Liu Ankang's consent.
"Liu Ankang, can I show the prescription and herbal diagram to others?" the captain asked Liu Ankang.
"Can."
After getting Liu Ankang's consent, the captain handed the prescription and herbal map in his hand to Captain Wang.
After Captain Wang took the prescription and herbal diagram handed to him by the captain, he immediately discussed the prescription and herbal diagram with other people in the office.
The captain saw that Captain Wang and his team were discussing heatedly. He did not approach them, but walked over to Liu Ankang and asked him, "What time did you find out about the fire last night?"
"I don't know. I don't have a watch, but I noticed that the moon had just risen when the fire started."
"So when you saw the fire burning the mountain, did you notice anyone nearby?"
"I didn't pay attention. When I found out the mountain was on fire, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to go back to the village and find someone to put out the fire."
"One last question, why didn't you go home after dark last night?"
Liu Ankang clenched his fists after hearing the captain's words. It was a long time before he loosened his fists, then bent down and began to roll up his trouser legs.
When Liu Ankang rolled up his trouser legs, the captain couldn't help but gasp, because he saw that Liu Ankang's knee was bloody, and he could tell that Liu Ankang's knee had not been treated at all after the injury, otherwise the wound would not be like this now.
