Chapter 12: The Pharmacy
Yan Qi walked to the window and looked in, and saw that the entire wall of the north wall was a medicine cabinet, against the west wall was an Arhat bed, the east wall was furnished with medicine stoves, medicine pots, mortars and other things, and the room was a set of tables and chairs, and on this table, there was a person wearing a navy blue shirt.
Are you asleep? Yuan Chang was about to remove the door, and he should have been woken up if he slept to death, but this man was still lying there motionless.
Yan Qi stretched out his hand and pushed the window, but he couldn't even open a crack, Yuan Chang smashed the door and pushed it in that room, but he couldn't get in, it was obvious that the doors and windows of this medical room were inserted from the inside, unless the person at the table got up and came to open the door, otherwise if the people outside wanted to enter the house, they had to forcibly break the door.
"Don't smash it," Young Master Yan Jiu said to Yuan Chang, "You are fast, go and call someone." ”
Yuan Chang stopped and glanced at Young Master Yan Jiu, and sure enough, he turned around and hurriedly ran, Young Master Yan Jiu whispered behind him: "Don't run out of the academy gate." ”
The gate of the academy is still 54,000 miles away from the turn of the Hundred Medicine House.
It's all at this time, and I don't forget to mock it.
"Dr. Li is not dead. Young Master Yan Jiu stood out of the window and looked in, as if he was immune to the dead like Yan Qi.
"Let's go. "Yan Qidao.
"If he is really dead, the official will have to call you and me back to inquire after a while. Young Master Yan Jiu turned his head to look at Yan Qi, "Are you afraid?" Without waiting for Yan Qi to answer, he had already walked to the door of the classroom next to him, pushed open the door and pointed in, "Go inside and sit and wait." ”
When did this thing become so distressing?
"Lest you faint to the ground and need me to carry you, you are so fat. Young Master Yan Jiu added slowly.
“……”
……
When Qiao Lezi and Qiao Zhifu rushed to the Hundred Medicine House of Jinxiu Academy with a group of younger brothers, the door of the infirmary had been forcibly smashed open from the outside, and the main owner, Doctor Li, was placed flat on the ground, his face covered with a cloth, and it was obvious that he was already a dead body. Several leaders of the academy stood outside the infirmary with solemn faces, but they also knew the rules very well and did not wreak havoc on the scene of death.
It stands to reason that such a death accident Yamen sent a few officers to deal with it is over, but Jinxiu Academy is not an ordinary academy, the students here are all officials, the teachers here are all famous Confucians, the mountain chief of this academy can be an imperial teacher, Qiao Zhifu heard this letter how dare to be lazy, if the yamen is busy, he will not come, just in time for this afternoon he happened to be extraordinarily idle, a cheap bone is itchy and painful if he doesn't work, so he personally brought people to mix.
Taking advantage of the fact that the officials rushed into the house to investigate, Governor Qiao briefly greeted these school leaders who rushed to deal with the aftermath after hearing the news, and then went directly to the topic: "Who was the first person to find the deceased?"
Leader A took Qiao Zhifu to the classroom next to him, and as soon as he entered the door, Qiao Zhifu was speechless: Why are these two children again? Even if Yan Zike did too many bad things in his previous life, he can't repay his bad luck on the children, really.
The two children got up and saluted him, and there was a half-sized boy next to him, whose eyebrows were like knives and their eyes were like paint, and they were very energetic.
"Tell me about the situation. Governor Qiao casually dragged a chair and sat down, without half a nonsense, and went straight to the point.
Yuan Chang told the story in a duck voice, and it was only a matter of a few words, and the scalp of Qiao Zhifu was numb, and the bear children who were in adolescence were really lethal, listening to this throat.
"Did you meet someone who looked suspicious on the way when you came?" Governor Qiao asked after Yuan Chang finished speaking.
Although the cause of death of the deceased is uncertain, it is better to ask more about it in detail.
The three children shook their heads together.
"Was there anyone else there when you entered the medicine house?" Governor Qiao asked very carefully.
The three children continued to shake their heads.
After asking a few words, a small official brought a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Found on the deceased's table." ”
Qiao Zhifu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and saw that it was a suicide note, the content of which was only a few simple words: I know that I have committed a lot of sin, I am a teacher in vain, and I have no shame to live in the world anymore, and now I will judge myself to apologize.
The name of Li Yitang is the name of the doctor.
"Suicide?" Governor Qiao scratched his head, "What about it?"
He came in and replied: "The deceased died of charcoal poisoning." ”
Charcoal poisoning is carbon monoxide poisoning, Qiao Zhifu listened to Yuan Chang's testimony and knew that the doors and windows of the infirmary where Dr. Li died were tightly closed, and the charcoal in the medicine furnace was burning very strongly, so that the school leaders who rushed to the house after hearing the news did not dare to enter the house at the first time, and opened the doors and windows for a long time before entering.
If you die of charcoal poisoning, you will basically commit suicide, but ...... Since we have made up our minds to commit suicide, there are so many poisonous herbs in the infirmary, and as a doctor, isn't it easy to make some deadly poison for myself? What is the purpose of abandoning this simple and direct method of suicide and choosing to die a slow death with charcoal poison? Because I am afraid of sin, I want to die without pain? This can also be done with herbal medicine? Moreover, if I want to commit suicide, it is not more convenient to die in my own home? If I run to the academy to die, are we not afraid that my "sins" will be known to everyone?
Suspicious.
Qiao Zhifu tapped his fingers on the table, and said to him: "Check carefully! Don't let go of a single hair!"
As soon as he took the order, Governor Qiao said to the three children in the house: "It's okay for the time being, you go back first, but maybe you will be summoned to ask questions later, don't run around." ”
Yan Qi and the three of them left the Hundred Medicine Mansion, and walked back along the medicine field, Yuan Chang walked in front, lowered his head and kicked the dirt on the ridge while thinking about his thoughts, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Yan Qi, and said, "Does your head still hurt?"
Yan Qi shook his head, but Yuan Chang turned around and strode over, grabbed her arm and walked in the direction of Baiyaolu: "I know where Doctor Li's bruise medicine is, I'll help you wipe it!"
"I don't hurt anymore. Yan Qi was dragged and staggered, Yuan Chang was one head and one neck taller than her, and the tiger was very vigorous, and carrying her was like carrying a chicken without pressure.
"If it doesn't hurt, you have to wipe it!" Yuan Chang walked more urgently, and Yan Qi was already about to gallop.
This bear kid wants to go back and watch the excitement! If you want to see it, just say it! Walking the dog without you being dragged so hard!
Although Young Master Yan Jiu and Yuan Chang are classmates, this baby goes to school early, three or four years younger than students of the same level, although psychologically precocious (Yan Qi said), but physiologically he is still an undeveloped little boy, in the face of a half-old child who is a few years older than him, this one does not have enough force value to stop, so he has to follow behind expressionlessly, his eyes narrowed, revealing an ominous aura that is enough to make someone agitated.
Someone just dragged Yan Qi to the Hundred Medicine House, but instead of going through the main entrance, he turned around to the back of the Medicine House, found the back window of a certain room, and gently pushed it with his hand, and the window opened quietly, but it was a small room next to the medical room, with a bed, a table, a chair, a cabinet, and a washing shelf in the small room, which seemed to be a temporary resting place for Dr. Li on weekdays.
Yuan Chang tiptoed, jumped into the window with a very light movement, and landed without a sound, quite a bit of kung fu foundation, and then made a "shhhh
This is to pull her over as a cover, in case someone finds out, he will say that he brought her to take medicine, and those school leaders can't do anything with him.
Yan Qi turned her head and left, she was such an honest child, she abided by all disciplines the most, and she didn't do this kind of thing by eavesdropping.
The second class of the plum blossom class in the afternoon was the etiquette class, Yan Qi had already missed most of the class, and it was not good to enter the classroom at this time, so he had to wait in the pantry, propping his chin on the table with one hand, thinking about the doctor Li who died.
Committed suicide...... Carbon monoxide poisoning, a relatively chronic way of suicide, has every chance to regret and commit suicide in this way, it seems that the will to die is very resolute.
But...... A person with such a resolute attitude begging for the dead, still has the heart to smooth out the hair on the tip of the pen after writing a suicide note?
When Yan Qi stood outside the window of the infirmary and looked into the room, he noticed the table where Dr. Li's body was lying down, the suicide note was placed on the table, and the words on the paper Yan Qi could see it clearly, don't doubt her eyesight, this body has the biggest advantage is that it has good eyesight, standard pilot eyes.
The four treasures of the desk are complete, there is a porcelain pen mountain next to the paper where the suicide note is placed, and a pen dipped in ink is on the pen hill, obviously the deceased's suicide note was written with this pen, and the tip of this pen is as smooth and neat as the tip of an arrow - a person who is bent on death, after writing the suicide note
Such a big room, hundreds of drawers containing medicines, dozens of bottles and jars, tables, chairs, bedboards and a corpse, but only noticed such a slender bunch of pen tips, Yan Qi also admired her perspective and brain, of course, she believed that there were too many things in this world that could not be inferred by common sense, every day, every hour, every second There are all kinds of coincidences that continue to happen, the mystery depends on facts and evidence to prove, Conan Doyle said: Eliminate the impossibility of a qiē, no matter how unbelievable the rest is, it must be the truth.
The third class in the afternoon was an elective course, after condolences to Yan Qi if there was a problem with her head, Wu Yue was going to take her martial arts class, Lu Lotus was going to learn the tea ceremony, Yan Qi looked at her class schedule and found that she was going to take a medicine class today.
Regardless of whether the teacher is dead or alive, he still has to go to the Hundred Medicine House to report first, and after the three of them came out of Ling Hanxiang's house, they went separately to find the classroom for their elective courses, and Yan Qi went to the Hundred Medicine House again.
When I arrived at the welcoming pine forest, I heard an old duck cry overhead: "Hey!"
As soon as Yan Qi raised his head, the duck had already fallen from the tree, and he stood in front of him, glaring at her with horizontal eyebrows: "You dare to run away and throw me there!
me, I can stay there and play a role in wool, and let the surnamed Qiao catch it, it's two hundred mouths.
"Oh, he didn't scold you, did he?" Yan Qi said and was about to pass by, but Yuan Chang flashed and stopped in front of him.
"You're embarrassed to ask!" The deputy mountain chief also said that I went to make trouble, and if you were there at the time, you could also prove to me that I was looking for bruising medicine for you!" Yuan Chang lowered his head and glared at the little Humpty Dumpty in front of him.
"What are you going to do in the next class? If you don't go back, you'll skip class again. Yan Qi rubbed shoulders again.
...... "That's how it is!" this girl's ability to change the subject is simply full, mud horse!, "You stop me!" Yuan Chang grabbed Yan Qi's arm.
Yan Qi looked back at him.
"You ......" Yuan Chang suddenly looked at the pair of black and white eyes on the paralyzed face in front of him, and when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know where to swallow, and coughed dryly before he found his unpleasant voice, "Why are you still going over there?" The surname Qiao has already let people seal it off, and no idle people are allowed to approach. ”
"I went to a medicine class. Yan Qi also felt sad, why didn't anyone give a notice if this dead gentleman couldn't attend class, in case the academy found a temporary lecturer to come, if she didn't go to the Hundred Medicine House to take a look and miss this class, this afternoon would be really wasted.
"Let the ghost give it to you?!" Yuan Chang felt that this girl not only had a bad face, but also a bad brain.
"I'll go over and see, just in case. Yan Qi was about to leave, but his arm was firmly dragged by Yuan Chang, "Are you still in trouble?"
"I ......" Yuan Chang remembered his purpose of blocking this girl, "You are too unrighteous!
"Are you afraid of the dead?" Yan Qi asked.
This stupid girl is simply born with the skill of being angry to death! Yuan Chang gasped heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "The deputy mountain chief punished me for writing a review book, this is all your fault, you help me write it!"
"Okay, when are you going to pay it?" Yan Qidao.
"How many ......" Yuan Chang was stuck: This is agreed?!I thought she would refuse and argue with him or something, how did she - why didn't she play her cards according to common sense?! The feeling of punching cotton is too irritating!
"I'll hand it over tomorrow!" Yuan Chang had nowhere to go, so he shook off Yan Qi's arm, "You write it for me!"
"Okay, let Yan Xiaojiu hand it to you tomorrow. Yan Qi's arm was thrown painfully, "I'm leaving." "I really walked away while rubbing it.
Yuan Chang was so angry that he kicked the pebbles on the side of the road.
Yan Qi walked out of the small pine forest, and saw from a distance that a large number of students had gathered outside the Hundred Medicine House, both men and women, large and small, or turning their heads or tiptoeing to look into the medicine house, the door of the medicine house was guarded by two people dressed as officials, and a gentleman-like man was coming out of the house and waved his hand at the students.
When Yan Qi approached, he only heard the gentleman's words come to an end: "...... For the time being, go back to their respective classrooms, do not run around, do not stay in the vicinity, do not make false rumors out of nothing, and if they are discovered, they will be severely punished!"
Well, the class is in the soup again. Yan Qi turned around and walked back, but saw that Yuan Chang was standing not far behind him, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking at her mockingly: "I just said that you will definitely not be able to take this lesson, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!"
That's a big deal.
Seeing that Yan Qiquan didn't take his words seriously, Yuan Chang inexplicably became angry again: "Where are you going?!"
Yan Qi kept walking back: "Go back to the classroom." ”
Yuan Chang was a little anxious—he couldn't let this stinky girl leave like this—he hadn't let out the fire in his stomach yet!"You don't want to know why Doctor Li committed suicide?!"
"I don't want to. ”
What about your woman's curiosity?!" I tell you, I know a secret of Doctor Li!" Yuan Chang leaned over and lowered his voice a little viciously to Yan Qidao.
"Oh. "Yan Qidao.
"......" Yuan Chang was angry, and grabbed Yan Qi to prevent her from leaving, "Do you know what the secret is?"
"I don't want to know ......"
"I want you to know!" Yuan Chang glared at her, with a "cruel" smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's cruel, it's cruel. "Well, you say. "Yan Qidao.
...... "I'm angry, I'm angry, I'm angry!" Yuan Chang gritted his teeth, "...... Dr. Li, who is not yet married, however, in the small room next to the infirmary, he hides a box, and in the box is locked a woman's belly pocket, once I was injured in the skin and came to the medicine store, I accidentally passed by the back window of the small room, and saw that he was taking the belly pocket and sniffing under his nose, you say it is not strange. ”
It turned out that this kid had sneaked into the small room through the back window for this purpose...... Tsk, I have to say that this bear kid is also quite flexible.
Woman's belly pocket...... Yan Qi turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hundred Medicine Mansion, he was a teacher in vain, it seemed that Xu was not wrong.
