"There is nothing strange about this body. Are you going back to the Yamen?" Ji Xuan sighed, avoiding the lantern in Bai Xi's hand and asked.
"If you don't want to go back, we are going to go to Chengque Pharmacy to have a look." Ye Zhuqing refused.
"Me and Dr. Lu are going too." Qin Sihan followed. When he followed, he looked at Ye Zhuqing with unclear meaning. He really wanted to ask where the other party got his confidence. He didn't ask anyone else that he would go with him.
, where did they come from.
"Then Mr. Wang and I will take the body back."
Ji Xuan said while looking at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi had just transferred back, and the artist had already painted some of the surrounding scenery here, and also made a portrait of the body's approximate body shape. He also told everyone that the Yamen had not received any reports of missing persons in the past half month.
Report the crime.
He has been in Fanzhizhou for a long time and has little influence on a common people with red hair.
Indeed, this phenomenon is not very noticeable. After all, the red color of the other person is not a large area of red, and it is easy to hide at the end of the hair.
"I'm going to cut the whole body open and see if I can find anything." Seeing Wang Qi nodding, he also said, so if there is an interrogation later: "Please inform me, Mr. Wang."
Ji Xuan said carefully.
Wang Qi nodded.
...after a stick of incense, the two waves of people parted ways,
Bai Xi and Qin Sihan were last.
Looking carefully, Bai Xi was one step behind Tan Sihan. He lowered his hands, lowered his head slightly, and stared at Tan Sihan's heels.
When Tan Sihan moved, he also moved, cautiously, for fear of bumping into or stepping on Tan Sihan.
"Do you think these two things are related?" Qin Sihan asked.
He knows what it means to be an injured patient, and his words are worthy of being that injured patient.
"My subordinates dare not make rash guesses. At least there is currently no evidence that points to the two cases being the same. Although it seems that the time of discovery cleverly coincides, it does not mean that they are related."
Although Bai Xi is good at coaxing and supporting Qin Sihan, he will not be unprincipled or irrational when it comes to the latter. Although he is biased towards him most of the time, in the face of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, Bai Xi
But he will stick to himself, but only when Tan Sihan is in a good mood.
Qin Sihan nodded after hearing this, and looked at the street connection with an unclear meaning. The movements of his feet were unconsciously faster.
Bai Xi also quickly followed up, but was still half a step behind Tan Sihan.
The whole journey was silent.
Chengque Pharmacy.
A "squeak" sound,
"Cough, cough, cough," a garbled sound of coughs filled everyone's ears.
The drug store smelled very unpleasant, with the smell of mold, medicine, and dust. They might have made a little move when they came in, and you could see dust floating in the air.
A lantern was put in, and tables and chairs were placed randomly inside. There was already a layer of dust on the ground. After walking a few steps, it looked like the tables could already be written on.
"It seems that no one has been to this place for a long time. I remember, didn't some government officials come before after the Ministry of Justice came? Why is there no trace?" Ye Zhuqing asked. But the only answer he received was the intermittent sound of breathing.
.They came out without any government servants, so who knows whether they have been here or not.
Ye Zhuqing licked his lips, took awkward steps, and began to look around the shop.
"This is!"
Fang Wu squatted on the ground. She picked up a stool that was lying on its back. There were two halves of acacia leaves under the stool.
She held it in her hands in astonishment, raised her head and looked at the reactions of others present.
Just now, the locust tree was planted next to the corpse outside, but the willow tree was planted on the path opposite the Chengque Medicine Store, which was quite far away from the place where the locust tree was planted.
"Could it be..." Fang Wu only said half of what he said.
Could it be that this corpse is really the thirty-second injured patient they are looking for? There is no direct evidence, and just this locust tree flower can't explain anything.
"It's not certain yet. The flowers of the Sophora japonica tree are also used as medicine." Dr. Lu added.
But it's a little strange. Why only this one place, only these few pieces? Fang Wu sighed and carefully packed the locust tree flowers.
She followed Ye Zhuqing and continued into the medicine shop, bypassing the lobby. Inside were two rows of medicine cabinets. Similarly, a layer of dust could be clearly seen on the buttons of the medicine cabinets.
"There's even dust on the buttons?" Fang Wu asked subconsciously. It seems that the drug store has not stopped working for such a long time.
You should know that buttons are smooth and smooth, so the slippery areas are not prone to dust.
"Who remembers in the file who took away the clerk from Chengque Pharmacy?" Ye Zhuqing asked.
He asked very straightforwardly and simply, what was wrong with me?
"On the fourth day of last month."
Qin Sihan said without hesitation. He had read the file carefully and he would never remember it wrong.
Ye Zhuqing turned around and glanced at Qin Sihan who was talking. He was stunned. Could this person really be here to investigate the case?
It's September 20th. It's more than half a month. As for whether there will be so much ashes, none of them can say.
Qin Sihan looked at Bai Xi intentionally, and he asked with a smile: "What do you think? Is this gray intentional?"
"My subordinates are incompetent and can't tell. If it was intentional, then the person who made it must have some superb skills." Isn't it right? At a glance, it is very uniform, and you can't tell where there are more or less. It doesn't look like it was done deliberately.
After walking out of two rows of medicine cabinets, there was a courtyard. There was a room on the left and right of the courtyard, which gave people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Several people were going to the courtyard, but Bai Xi grabbed Qin Sihan and said: "I'm not afraid, I will.
You should just stay in the house." There are several pear trees planted in the yard, which have not completely fallen.
Although the weather is not windy, we have to take precautions.
"I……"
"Sir, I think what Mr. Bai said is reasonable. You'd better not go out." Dr. Lu also followed. He interrupted Qin Sihan's words and took a step back with an apology on his face.
Qin Sihan had no choice but to take two steps back and stand in the room, looking at Bai Xi with a smile and nodding. Doctor Lu felt relieved and followed Fang Wu into the courtyard.
The courtyard is paved with loess, and a shallow layer of leaves can be clearly seen on the ground and walls.
Qin Sihan didn't look at the people, but looked at Bai Xi, who was standing one step behind him beside him, and asked, "Aren't you going too?"
"My subordinate will accompany you." Bai Xi said calmly.
Qin Sihan held a handkerchief and opened a medicine drawer. There was nothing in it. He didn't close it. He raised his hand and opened the top one again. Suddenly, he heard a roar.
The row of medicine cabinets on the opposite side disappeared. Instead, a passage appeared, with rows of steps leading to nowhere.
Qin Sihan was stunned and glanced at Bai Xi subconsciously.
This was a secret room. He naturally recognized it. There were places like this in palaces and courtiers' mansions. It was just a medicine shop, so it was inevitably a little unusual.
