On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1670 Insider

Although he couldn't see any problem, Huo Changhe still believed that it was done by one of his own people.

It’s not because Miss Cao and Feng Shao said that there was a traitor.

Whether there is or not, he has his own judgment.

This government office was built in the early years of the dynasty, and the first official sent here was a believer in feng shui.

I heard that when the government office was being designed and built, a Feng Shui master was consulted. The morgue was a shady place, so it had to be built close to the center line of the government office in order to suppress the Yang energy.

Therefore, although the morgue is an independent courtyard, it is not easy to find. If you enter from the main gate and walk straight, it is not a big deal. However, if you go in through the side door or climb over the wall, it will take some effort.

Following Xiao Chiye's orders, the morgue was under strict guard, and the bailiffs and detectives were all on high alert, guarding it much more strictly than usual.

If someone climbed over the wall carrying kerosene, it shouldn't have gone unnoticed.

After reading the records, Huo Changhe asked, "There are more people in the yamen than just the yamen runners and constables. Where are the others? Clerks, servants, etc. As long as they are here, it counts."

Xiao Chiye nodded: "I will send someone to ask immediately, but some people can't write, so I will let them dictate and I will record it."

Huo Changhe nodded.

Xiao Chiye left quickly, and Huo Changhe picked up a pen and drew on the paper.

This was the method Yan Ruyu taught him, using a mind map to draw out the myriad threads and find clues from them.

Purchase medicinal materials, kill Mu Wu, the weird dead killer's eyes are like glass, and the corpse is destroyed.

It's hard not to connect this series of events together.

Huo Changhe paused with his pen: The corpses were being burned. Were they going to burn those weird dead killers or Mu Wu?

If the killer is targeting a dead person, then the solution is to destroy the body.

If it was directed at Mu Wu's corpse, it would probably be a provocation to the government.

Just after finishing the drawing, Xiao Chiye came in hurriedly, looking unhappy.

Huo Changhe put down his pen: "What? Any results?"

Xiao Chiye whispered, "Your Majesty, there is one less cook who delivers prison food."

After he finished speaking, he handed a record to Huo Changhe: "Look, this is a servant's account of the situation at the time."

Old Li, who delivered the prison meal, ran home in a hurry, barely catching his breath, and searched everywhere in the house.

His house has three main rooms and one wing room. In fact, you don't need to look for them, they are easy to find.

He has no children and his wife passed away a few years ago. He only has one nephew who takes care of him.

He told his nephew that since he had no children, he would give his money and the house to his nephew after he passed away.

All he wants is for his nephew to take care of him in his old age and give him something to eat when he is old, that's all.

The nephew also readily agreed and treated him well. Over time, the two of them got along like father and son, after all, they were connected by blood.

But today...

The room was eerily quiet. He knew his nephew was not at home without looking for him, but he had to look for him to feel at ease.

I searched around my nephew's room, but the only sound in the room was his heavy breathing.

Suddenly, he found a silk handkerchief under his nephew's pillow.

That was a woman's silk scarf, and not just any woman's.

He put the handkerchief in his pocket, turned around and went out, heading straight for Ruanhongxianglou.

As soon as he left, the bailiffs from the yamen arrived and found nothing in his house.

When Huo Changhe heard the report, he tapped the table with his fingers: "What other family members does he have? Start with his family members."

"He has a nephew, but no one else," Xiao Chiye replied, "his nephew..."

Xiao Chiye paused, his expression changed slightly: "Working as a note-taker in a herbal medicine store."

Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "Check."

"Including this herbal medicine store."

Old Li trotted to Hongxianglou and was stopped by a girl soliciting customers in front of the door. The girl looked him up and down, with contempt flashing in her eyes.

"Oh, sir, at your age... I don't know..."

Old Li didn't have time to listen to this, so he grabbed the handkerchief and asked, "Is this from you guys?"

The girl looked at him, her eyes slightly opened, and she looked a little surprised: "Oh, I didn't realize you were Cuihong's guest."

"But she has a guest now, she..."

Mr. Li interrupted directly: "Which room is she in?"

"I've already told you that she has guests now and can't receive you. Otherwise, you can look for something else. We..."

Lao Li shook off her outstretched hand: "I want to find Cuihong, hurry up!"

The girl curled her lips and said, "It's in room 3 on the second floor. If you get kicked out, don't..."

Before she could finish her words, Lao Li had already rushed forward. The girl immediately waved over two eunuchs and asked them to keep an eye on them.

Old Li rushed up to the second floor in a rush of energy, and his remaining rationality made him listen attentively.

Sure enough, there were the voices of a man and a woman talking inside.

"Husband, you have made a fortune this time, please buy me a bracelet."

The man's voice rang out: "One is not enough, we need two, plus a box of the best rouge!"

When Old Li heard this, he could no longer hold back, he pushed open the door and rushed into the room.

The man and woman inside were leaning against the head of the bed drinking. The man was shirtless and the woman had taken off her outer clothes, leaving only a bellyband on her upper body.

When he suddenly came in, he scared the two people.

The woman reacted first, and said with a sweet smile: "Sir, did you choose the wrong room? Or are you here to look for me? It's not possible today..."

"Get out," Lao Li stared at the man, but spoke to the woman, "Get out, now!"

……

Yan Ruyu was thinking about something in the space when the abbot called her.

"On to the next place!"

Yan Ruyu exited the space and walked to the side of the tricycle.

"What should we do with these two?"

Yan Ruyu put the two people's belongings on the tricycle and said, "Take them first, and we will interrogate them thoroughly when we get back."

The abbot had no objection and drove the three-wheeler to the next place to store materials.

After finishing his busy work, he rode his tricycle back to the city.

When they got to the outskirts of the city, they collected the tricycle and the two men landed.

The abbot looked at the city gate and said, "How about I ask someone to drag these two in?"

"No, wake them up and let them go on their own."

After adding some antidote, Moustache and Big Knife woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself back at the city gate. He looked at the abbot and Yan Ruyu again and was so scared that he stuttered.

"Second... Second, we just want to steal some materials. We haven't done anything bad. Please let us go."

"We were just following orders. We won't dare to do it again next time."

Yan Ruyu said nothing, but gave the abbot a look. The abbot took two pieces of cloth and covered the two men's mouths with them.

After entering the city and returning to the mansion, the abbot went to bed after a busy night. Yan Ruyu handed the two of them to Song Ping and went back to the courtyard to rest.

Although she didn't do much physical work, she was not idle either. She didn't suffer from insomnia when she came back, but fell asleep.

The next morning, he was awakened by the abbot again.

"Like jade, like jade, haha..."

The abbot laughed so crazily that Yan Ruyu almost suspected that something was wrong with him.

"Don't laugh like crazy, what happened?"

"Come quickly, come to my disciple's yard."

Ever since Li Wanglin's space was developed under the guidance of the abbot, the two have been treating each other as master and disciple.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu knew that there must be some progress in Li Wanglin's space.
