Chapter 422: Sent to the Door 3
readx;?“ What do you mean by that? "Huangfu Qingtian was quite surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chi Ling'er's face was full of confidence and asked, "What do you think, why did this person sneak into the pharmacy in the middle of the night?" ”
"Destroy the medicine." Isn't that obvious?
Chi Ling'er smiled, and her smile looked particularly sweet and bright under the oil lamp.
She stood up, circled around the rows of medicine cabinets in the pharmacy, and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
Huangfu Qingtian took a closer look at the medicine cabinet, and saw that not all the medicine pumps on the medicine cabinet had been pulled out, and not all the medicinal materials had been thrown away and burned.
After thinking about it, he asked uncertainly: "Do you think that the purpose of that person infiltrating the medical hall is just to destroy all the medicinal materials that prepare the antidote needed by the queen mother?" ”
"Is there any other explanation?" Chi Ling'er asked rhetorically.
Indeed, this is the most plausible explanation.
However, Huangfu Qingtian's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of another possibility: "This kind of thinking is too instinctive. A savvy opponent may choose to burn irrelevant herbs and leave useful ones behind. ”
"The opposite?" Chi Ling'er asked with a smile.
Huangfu Qingtian nodded.
Chi Ling'er said: "This possibility is very small, if this is the case, it is better not to make this trip to the Medicine Pavilion." If he doesn't come, doesn't give any hints, won't we have nowhere to look for the ingredients for the antidote? If I didn't guess, his master should be afraid that we would accidentally dispense the prescription, so he deliberately came to the palace to destroy the raw materials, and then instructed the pharmacies in the capital to do something, so that we could not prepare the antidote. ”
"Why didn't he burn all the herbs?" Wouldn't that be cleaner?
Chi Ling'er said: "It is too time-consuming to burn all the medicine cabinets, it is too unsafe for him, and it is easy to be detected by the palace, and it is likely to fail." ”
Her explanation was reasonable, and Emperor Fu Qingtian was quickly convinced.
He nodded, and finally agreed: "So, the ingredients of the antidote must be in the fire?" ”
Chi Ling'er was proud and confident: "This is the most normal reaction of ordinary people. In order to destroy the medicinal materials needed for the antidote, the most direct way is to take out the medicinal materials and light a fire and burn them. ”
Huangfu Qingtian did not object to Chi Ling'er's analysis, but: "There are hundreds of medicinal materials burned on the ground, how do you know which ingredients are needed for the antidote?" ”
"It's simple. If I were the thief, I would have found the herbs needed for the antidote and threw them on the ground to burn, and then I would have taken some other medicines and piled them up and burned them together, just to confuse my opponent's sight. Chi Ling'er's tone was very determined.
As she spoke, she got up, walked to a row of medicine cabinets, pointed to the empty part of the medicine that was taken out, and said, "Look at it, this row of medicine cabinets, and there are several other rows of medicine cabinets, what is the difference between them and the row over there?" ”
Huangfu Qingtian looked over, but saw that many of the evacuated parts of the medicine cabinet were disorderly, only the last row of medicine cabinets was almost completely emptied.
Obviously, the thief had a purpose in pulling out the medicine at the beginning, knowing which herbs to destroy.
When he got to the back, the thief no longer bothered to pick and choose, but grabbed some medicine and threw it out to burn together. In order to save time and speed up, he stood in the same position and pulled out the medicine pump intensively, which caused a large area of continuous space in the last row of medicine cabinets.
In this way, it is not difficult to see that the messy spaces on the medicine cabinet are unevenly distributed due to selective selection. Because they are loaded with important things, they will be the first to be singled out and destroyed. After that, the medicine smoke that was thrown densely had nothing to do with the antidote at all, and the pure crushed was a smokescreen bomb.
