This is a medicinal decoction......

I pulled out the cushion that was supposed to be on top of the seat, and there was a mark on the cushion, at the edge, and it looked like something had been spilled on it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The smell was the same as that left in the mouth of the dead.

I put the cushion back in my seat, then took a step back and looked at the distance between the seat, the cushion and the table.

I see, that's how it works! This trace is still a little damp, it should have only been left for a short time, in such a cold weather, and there is no heating equipment in the house, and the wet trace cannot be dried so quickly. Moreover, the color of the mat itself is lighter, and the color of the potion is not dark, so when the potion is wet on the mat at first, it should not be easy to notice if you don't look carefully or touch it with your hands. However, after a period of time, the potion stain on the mat begins to evaporate, and the damp marks will fade, so that the traces left by the potion will be clearer.

It's like tears flowing down the pillow. If we cry in the middle of the night and wet the pillow, all we can feel is a dampness on the pillow, and we can't see the color at that time. However, after a night, the damp area on the pillow will be dried naturally the next day, but if you look closely, the tears that should have been colorless will leave a trace in the original wet place.

And now, the marks on the mat just prove that the doctor had been back here on the night of the crime.

Wait a minute.

If he really drank the decoction here at that time, then after the incident, no one cleaned it here, so where was the container he used to drink the decoction? The table was clean, and there was nothing else in the room that could be used as a container for medicine.

"It should have been taken away by the murderer." "He" walked out of my thoughts.

"Taken away by the murderer? But after the crime, no one has been here, if the murderer took away the container that the doctor used to drink medicine at this time, then how did he not be discovered? "That's something I can't figure out.

"Perhaps, the secret is on the other side." He took two steps back and stood by the door, looking sideways at the room across from him that the doctor usually used to treat others.

I pondered for a moment, then raised my leg and walked to the other side. Standing at the door, I smelled a big smell. This question is not unfamiliar, it is the same as the taste in the mouth of the doctor who is the deceased in this case, I pushed the door and walked in, and while paying attention to the surrounding conditions, I said, "This smell is the same as the one in his mouth, and I am sure that the medicinal soup spilled on the mat is also the same taste, because there is a bitterness of plant ash in it, so I am particularly impressed." ”

On one side of the wall, a row of soup cans hangs from the stove. I walked over and sniffed them one by one, and found the same as the potion.

"It's this one." I shook it, and there was still residue in it, "But as a doctor, why didn't he just throw out the residue in the soup can after boiling the medicine?" Isn't it inconvenient to use it next time? ”

"He" walked over and looked down and sniffed. "Are you sure that the taste in this soup can is exactly the same as in the mouth of the deceased?"

I walked to the table with the soup can in my arms, took an empty bowl, poured all the rest of the soup into the bowl, took a clean coarse cloth, and began to pick out the herbs from the soup residue, all the same, and smell them all over my nose, until I found a piece of soup that was obviously burnt and then stewed in the herbs. "Yes, I'm now absolutely sure that this is the thing, the smell that I've always felt uncomfortable with coming from this thing."

This thing doesn't look like bones, some look like tree bark, but it stands to reason that the bark can't be baked in such a black state, and it has long been burned out. And on top of this, there are some that are like gelatinous adhesives. "What the hell is this?"

If I could test what this thing is with future technology, I think it is very likely that the case will find a big breakthrough in this, but now, it is obvious that I can't do it.

It's good if there is someone who is well-versed in medicine and can know what it is.

It's a pity that I was alone.

"Look here." "He" called me.

I got up and walked over to "him", who was standing by the stove and made a new discovery. I looked at the place he had signaled, "This furnace was deliberately extinguished." ”

The half-burned dry branches were pulled out of the stove and extinguished. The half-burned dry branch was still damp.

I looked at the apartment across from me...... "I think so." The deceased himself was a doctor, and if he himself was unwell, then there was nothing wrong with prescribing a decoction of medicine for himself and eating it himself. Then on the night of the crime, it should be like this......"

…… In the past few days, he has to stay in Mrs. Ziliang's courtyard because of Sui Que's epidemic, and occasionally has time to diagnose and treat people in the courtyard who have headaches, brain fevers, and are unwell. In the afternoon, at the end of the day's work, he felt that his body was a little unwell, so he grabbed medicine for himself and boiled it, and planned to take the medicine before the meal, and then take a good rest after the evening.

His decoction was boiling on the stove, and when it was getting dark, the people in the courtyard were busy with their work, or tidying up the day's work, or cleaning, or whatever. When the decoction on the stove was ready, he walked over, took out the half-burned dead branches in the stove, poured it out, and then took a pottery bowl, padded the coarse cloth next to the stove, and poured the hot decoction from the medicine pot into the bowl......

He didn't directly clean up the rest of the medicine residue,

Because he was not in a hurry to do anything at that time, he had time, and he would come back after drinking the decoction and tidy it up slowly.

"Here he was, poured the decoction into the bowl, and then walked to the opposite side with the bowl, to the room where he lived." As I spoke, I walked to the other side, stood in the room, and looked sideways at the table, "That's where the doctor put the decoction on the table......"

But he was so cautious, why did the medicine spill on the mat?

I turned around and noticed the stove in the house......

The soup was spilled on the edge of the mat, presumably because someone was sitting there and inadvertently touched the table, causing the soup in the bowl to spill out...... I walked over to the table and checked that there was no trace of the decoction on the table, so it should have been wiped off by the person who took the bowl away.

When he returned to the house, he placed the bowl with the decoction on the table and sat down on the cushion himself......

The soup in the bowl was too hot, he couldn't drink it immediately, and while waiting for the soup to be edible, he felt a little cold in the room, and only then did he notice that the stove was still out...... As a result, because he was not feeling well, his movements were a little clumsy, and he brought it to the table, and the table moved, and the soup bowl on the table shook violently and spilled.

But the doctor went to the stove at this time, and he wanted to light it and warm the room.

The decoction that had been spilled on the table dripped down the edge of the table, wetting the mats. "But he left the house again without lighting the stove......

"According to your reasoning now, he just put the hot potion on the table, and has not drunk it yet. Then you examined the corpse at the scene and came to the conclusion that he had the taste of decoction in his mouth, which cannot be reasonably explained. "He" reminded.

"That's right, at this time, he hasn't drunk the decoction yet, but when he died, he obviously had the taste of soup residue in his mouth." So, did he turn around and go back to drink the medicine after looking at the stove? "But since he had already walked to the stove, why didn't he light it first and then go back to drink the medicine?"

"Maybe something happened after he went to the stove, before he turned around and went back to drink the medicine, which made him ...... even if he didn't light the stove." "He" helped me with my analysis.

What happened again...... If you don't light the stove, you can also ...... "If you don't light the stove, why don't you light the stove, it's so cold in the house, why didn't he light the stove?" Could it be, could it be that something happened in the middle of the day that made him leave the room next?! ”

That's it, leaving the room, because he needs to leave the room, so it doesn't matter whether the stove is lit or not at that time, he can't continue to stay in the house, so it doesn't matter if the house is cold or not, even if he lights the stove, he can't continue to add dead branches to the stove to maintain the burning of the furnace, so that when he comes back, the stove is still cold.

In this case, it can be explained without lighting the stove.

But what happened? What happened to make him leave the room without hesitation? Or when he himself was not feeling well. And this must have happened in the middle of the time after he got to the stove and then returned to the table to drink the potion. What's going on? "By the way, he's a doctor. He's a doctor! ”

I almost ignored his profession again.

The deceased was a doctor, and the doctor himself was a noble profession, and if it was his patient at the time, or someone else related to the patient, came to the doctor and told him that the patient was in danger.

At that time, he did not have time to light the fire on the stove road, and he had to rush to the road. And since he is a doctor, even if he can't rest at that time, he will definitely take care of his body, "So, someone came here at that time!" That man...... When the man entered, the doctor was standing in front of the stove, and while he was thinking about how to light the fire in the stove, the man entered! The man, standing there, told him that one of his patients had suddenly become ill and in danger, so when he heard this, he did not bother to light the fire in the stove, hurried back to the table, took up the decoction that had been cold, drank it in one gulp, and then went out with the man......"
