Chapter XXVIII
This speculation is really a bit too far-fetched, even if it is true, then why did that piece of jade ornament fall into Liang Ke's hands? When the government inspected the scene, it didn't find any traces! Even if the jade ornament was left at the scene, it should have been discovered by the government and kept in the treasury, and it would never have been handed over to the relatives of the deceased!
After thinking for a long time, Shen Huan asked Xu Kai again: "Brother Xu, can you tell me what Brother Ling quarreled with Ling Zun about before he ran away from home?"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my second brother fell in love with a girl again, and wanted to persuade my father to marry her home, because my father didn't agree, so the two of them quarreled."
"What is that girl's name, Brother Xu, do you know?"
"I don't remember, there are so many women he likes, sometimes even he remembers the wrong names, let alone us......"
Xu Kai's answer made Shen Huan and Song Shi look at each other, there are so many women in this woman that they can remember it wrong! Xu Jia, a playboy, enjoys this aspect even more than the emperor......
"I take the liberty of asking, does Brother Ling often take women home?" Shen Huan asked again.
"It can't be said that often, when my father was alive, he once bought him a house, saying that he would let him live there when the family was divided in the future." Xu Kai replied.
"Is that house still there?"
"It's still there, it's in Lotus Lane! I'm ashamed to say that since the disappearance of our second brother, we have never been able to see it for fear of touching the scene, so we have been abandoned there......"
"Lotus Lane!"
Shen Huan stood up abruptly when he heard these three words, and after asking Xu Kai about the specific location of the mansion, he pulled Song Shi and rushed towards Lotus Lane.
Xu Jia's mansion is not far from the vicinity of Lotus Lane, because it was placed when the Xu family was in full swing, so the area of this mansion is not much smaller than the main house where Xu Kai is located, and its external furnishings and decoration are also very elegant, even if it has been abandoned here for many years, it can still make people feel the luxurious momentum of the year! From this point of view, although Xu Jia is not compatible with his father, Xu Jiyuan loves this son in his heart after all......
The gate is locked, and it is impossible to go through the main entrance, so you can only enter through the wall. Because Xing Zhutou was not there, Song Shi and Shen Huan could only climb in by stacking Arhats.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Song Shi shivered coldly, "Why does it feel eerie here?" It can't be something unclean, right? ”
"Scare yourself less! It's been deserted here for so many years, and no one comes to live there, so it's normal to have a little yin air! ”
said so, but Shen Huan himself was also a little scared in his own heart, and he always felt that something in this room was staring at them......
The moon was dark and windy, and there was a curfew, and there was hardly any sound outside except for a few dog barks in the distance. The whole house has been abandoned for many years, and the yard is full of fallen leaves and silt, coupled with several days of continuous rainfall, making Shen Huan and his people feel like they are walking in a mud pond every step they take......
The whole house is divided into three courtyards, and there are many rooms, many of which are empty and unfurnished. Judging from the location of these rooms, Shen Huan felt that it should be the servant's residence, and no one would live here until Xu Jia and the crown were there, and what they were looking for this time was the master bedroom.
Passing through the two courtyards, you will find the master bedroom, which is fully furnished to show that it was once inhabited. And Xu Jia may not be the only one who has lived here, most of the furnishings inside are feminine, and there are even some rouge gouaches, which is likely to be the place where Xu Jia used to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house! Thinking of that jade ornament, Shen Huan felt that Wang Ping was very likely to have lived here before! But it is not so easy to find evidence that Wang Ping was once here......
Carefully probing every corner of the room, Shen Huan could see that someone had been here since Xu Jia's disappearance, and cleaned the place, according to the situation at the time, it should be someone from the Xu family, but unfortunately they also erased many traces while cleaning the house......
"Do you smell a stench?"
Song Shi suddenly spoke and startled Shen Huan, "You scared me to death!" Can you please stop following me like that! What did you just say? Stink? This bird doesn't smell anywhere! ”
As soon as Shen Huan's words fell, his face changed, and just now, he did faintly smell a foul smell! Although the smell is very light, the stench is very similar to the stench of decomposing corpses!
"Is there a corpse here?" Shen Huan couldn't help but be startled by his thoughts, and immediately looked in the direction where the smell came from!
It didn't take long for the "corpse" to be found by Shen Huan and them, this was the corpse of a dead cat, the high degree of decay had made its body appear giant, Shen Huan judged that the cat should have been lying here for about a month......
Seeing this situation, Shen Huan felt relieved and a little sad at the same time, he was also a meow slave and Wang slave, the first thing he used to do when he went home every day was to tease the two cats and dogs he raised, and now that he is here, he doesn't know if the two masters are doing well in his parents' home in the 21st century......
Thinking of this, Shen Huan's heart was very panicked, and he turned to Song Shi and said, "Let's bury it, so that it can be buried in the ground."
"Bury it yourself, I don't want to touch it!"
Song Shi was not happy to let himself touch such a disgusting thing, and in desperation, Shen Huan could only do it himself. He found some tools and dug in the yard for a while before digging out a dirt pit that was not too deep, but just as Shen Huan picked up the cat corpse and was about to put it in, he suddenly felt that something sticky seemed to be on his fingers! At first, he thought it was the putrefaction on the cat's corpse, but when he buried the corpse, he realized that it had a special smell in addition to the stench!
Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it, this smell is very familiar! Shen Huan smelled it not long ago! It's the powder found in Wang Ping's bedroom! It tasted exactly like the slime on his hands!
This drop of slime has just dripped from the cat's mouth, so it is very likely that the cat ate it when it was alive! And most likely somewhere in this house!
Thinking of this, Shen Huan returned to the house again and re-surveyed the place again! Sure enough, I found that mysterious thing in an aromatherapy burner under the bed! Looking at this thing, Shen Huan's whole person was stunned, he never dreamed that this kind of thing would actually appear here......
Looking at Shen Huan's stunned appearance, Song Shi was very puzzled, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this thing? ”
"Don't ask, let's go to Dr. Qian first." Shen Huan didn't answer, but carefully wrapped this thing and left here with Song Shi......
Qian Yi's Jimin Pharmacy was still brightly lit at this time, and although there was a curfew, there were still some emergency patients who came here for diagnosis and treatment accompanied by their families and the security chief.
Seeing Shen Huan coming, Qian Yi said to him after he was busy with the patient in his hand: "You came just in time, I looked for a medical book in the afternoon, and the only medicinal herb that can match your description is A Furong!"
Hearing Qian Yi's words, Shen Huan's heart had already determined seven or eight points, he handed the piece of thing he found to Qian Yi, and said, "Doctor Qian, look at what this is?"
"What is this?"
Qian Yi looked at the gray thing in front of him and was not sure for a while, so he scraped a little bit with a knife and tasted it in his mouth, but almost in an instant, Qian Yi spit out the thing fiercely!
"Fleur's ointment? How did you get this? Qian Yi's expression was shocked!
"That's really the case......" After getting Qian Yi's confirmation, Shen Huan fell into deep contemplation......
Seeing that Shen Huan didn't speak, Song Shi didn't understand what they were talking about at all, so he could only ask Qian Yi, "Doctor Qian, what is A Furong?"
"It's poppy, I guess you know, right?"
Song Shi nodded and replied: "I know, this thing is a medicine, specializing in treating diarrhea, and I also planted a plant in front of my house, sometimes I will knock some seeds inside and drink it when I eat it, and it will be fine after a while!"
"That's right, it's a medicine! But it's not just a medicine! It's a cure, but it's also a scary thing! That's because this stuff is very addictive! Some black-hearted shops will secretly add this kind of thing to their dishes in order to attract business, and as long as you eat it a few times, it will be addictive! Therefore, this kind of thing has been strictly controlled by the government for a long time, and as long as it is found out who uses this kind of thing, it will be punished very severely! Even our pharmacy is no exception! If there is a patient with severe diarrhea or severe pain in the pharmacy who needs to use this medicine, it must be registered in detail like arsenic, and the amount of medicine used must also be controlled within the range of the size of the disease! ”
"Is it that powerful?" Qian Yi's words made Song Shi a little suspicious......
Although Song Shi didn't believe it very much, Shen Huan knew very well how powerful this kind of thing was! He had seen many drug addicts, and no matter how strong and sunny he was before, once he got this kind of thing, it would be difficult to go back to the old days......
Although the opium paste in Shen Huan's hand at this time was only obtained by a simple method, it was enough to surprise him very much! In his memory, it would be at least a few hundred years before such a thing appeared! But here it is! There is even a good chance that someone will use it as a weapon to kill! It's a little incredible......
