After thinking about it for most of the day, Li Yi still couldn't figure it out in his heart.

Why did Du Ruhui not seem to be poisoned, and there was no sign of poisoning in the food, but his pulse was chaotic and he was weak?

This...... How do you explain that?

Li Yi couldn't figure it out.

After pondering for about half a cup of tea, Li Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at Du Niangzi, and said solemnly: "Du Niangzi, can you let someone take Bo'an to take a look, Uncle Du's recent diet?" Bo'an first double-checked. ”

"Okay, no problem!" Du Niangzi didn't dare to hesitate, nodded her head, and immediately ordered Du Xiaomei.

Li Yi was discharged from the hospital with Du Xiaomei and went to the back kitchen.

"Third brother, daddy's illness...... Isn't it...... Even you can't be cured? ”

On the way to the back kitchen, Du Xiaomei said worriedly, and her voice was a little cautious, for fear that once she heard any bad news, she would not be able to bear it.

After all, Du Ruhui didn't have long to pick up his life, could it be ...... Is Daddy going to be old again?

"Third Brother Lian...... There's nothing you can do?"

Du Xiaomei didn't dare to think about it in her heart, let alone hear Li Yi's answer, and after asking this sentence, she began to regret it a little in her heart.

kept her head down, Du Xiaomei's small hands pinched the skirt tightly, and she walked in fear.

"Don't worry, little sister." Seeing Du Xiaomei's worried expression, Li Yi couldn't help but reach out and rub his little head, and while moving forward, he said seriously, "Believe me, as long as I am here, Uncle Du will be fine!" ”

"Really?" Du Xiaomei, who was still worried, instantly raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Yi, and her two watery eyes flashed.

"Really!" Li Yi hooked Xiao Qiong's nose and joked to himself, "You forgot, I'm a miracle doctor!" ”

"Poof......" As soon as she heard Li Yi's words, Du Xiaomei's cheeks finally showed a rare smile, nodded obediently, and said with a firm smile, "Xiaomei believes in the third brother!" ”

"Let's go." Li Yi pinched his little face, and went to the back kitchen together.

……

In the back kitchen, since it was past lunchtime, the cooks were sitting and resting in the room, but their faces were full of unnatural worry.

"You say...... Du Xiang's illness, will it ...... Is it because of our problem? One of the fat cooks suddenly asked.

"Probably not, right?" Another thinner cook, glanced at the fat cook, and he was not sure of the authenticity, "For so many years, we have been working as cooks in Du Mansion, and every time we buy vegetables, we have carefully selected them, how is it possible?" ”

"But...... Why did Du Xiang suddenly fall ill? The fat cook said again, "Obviously, not long ago, Li Gongzi finally pulled Du Xiang back from the ghost gate!" ”

"Hey......" The thin cook shook his head, sighed, and said, "I don't know, it's strange to say, some time ago, Du Xiang was obviously fine, how could he suddenly collapse?" ”

"Yes, Du Xiang is such a good person, is it possible that a good person will die......" The other cook also shook his head and sighed.

The three cooks have a mouthful of you and a mouthful, and I have a mouthful, but they didn't notice it at all, and while they were chatting, Li Yi had already followed Du Xiaomei to the door of the back kitchen.

It wasn't until Li Yi and Du Xiaomei entered the house together that the three of them came back to their senses, quickly cheered up, and stood up from their seats.

"The villain has seen Du Xiaoniang and Li Gongzi." The three of them bowed in unison.

"No need to be polite." Li Yi waved his hand and smiled.

Li Yi had already heard all the conversations between them just now, but he didn't dare to delay, but asked directly: "What are the foods you prepare for Uncle Du on weekdays, what are the three meals a day?" Show it to me. ”

"Yes, Mr. Li." The three of them didn't dare to hesitate and quickly nodded.

The three of them knew in their hearts that this was a big deal, and now, since Li Yi was already starting to find the reason, it had already shown that so far, Li Yi had not found a solution.

So, the three of them hurriedly turned around, brought the food prepared for Du Xiang every day, and handed it to Li Yi for inspection.

Li Yi nodded, checked one side with a silver needle, picked up the ingredients again, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed gently, but Li Yi found that there was no taste of any medicinal herbs.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yi found a half-full rice bucket.

It is specially used to pour rice scraps and leftovers.

Li Yi glanced at the rice bucket and asked the three cooks, "Haven't you poured the food in the past few days?" ”

The three cooks were slightly stunned, and their eyes followed Li Yi's expression, and they found the rice bucket on the side, and the three of them were able to come back to their senses.

One of the fat cooks, nodded, and then took the place of the three of them, and replied, "Yes, Li Gongzi." The old farmer who collected the rice residue has not yet come, so he has kept it, and presumably he should have come this afternoon. ”

"Then how often is this rice residue usually poured?" Li Yi asked casually, then squatted down, took out a silver needle and checked it.

"Three days, it's always been like this." The fat cook replied again.

Li Yi nodded, and did not continue to ask them, but picked up the silver needle and began to observe it carefully and carefully.

At first, Li Yi didn't pay attention to it, but in the next second, Li Yi found with his own eyes that the silver needle had turned black!

Poisonous!

In Li Yi's mind, this fact was suddenly confirmed.

As soon as the three cooks saw that Li Yi had already gotten up, and the silver needle in his hand suddenly turned black, they were immediately frightened and stunned, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"This ...... How is this possible?!! The three cooks all looked at each other in disbelief, and even in horror.

They all knew very well what it meant for the silver needle to turn black.

That means it's toxic!

But these foods are made by the three of them with their own hands every day, and the three of them look at each other's cooking, how can they be poisonous?

"This ...... Childe, the villains have never been poisoned! ”

"Yes, Childe, it's too late for us to be grateful to Du Xiang, how can we poison Du Xiang?"

"Childe, ...... of this There must have been a misunderstanding..."

The three cooks immediately panicked.

After all, they saw Li Yi's silver needle turn black with their own eyes, and Li Yi checked out the poisonous one with his own hands in front of them, how could this not be justified?

Why don't they be afraid!

Seeing them like this, Li Yi couldn't help but turn his eyebrows, looked at the three of them, stared at the eyes of the three of them, and asked seriously, "Are you sure...... You don't know about it? ”

"The villain really doesn't know, Childe!"

"Yes, we have been cooks in the mansion for more than ten years, and this kind of thing has never happened!"

"Childe, you must carefully check out, and the villains are innocent......"

The three of them all had clear eyes, and when they spoke back, their voices did not rise deliberately, nor did they have any dodging expressions, Li Yi watched with psychology, and they didn't seem to be lying at all.

But Li Yi was still not very relieved.

So, Li Yi asked again: "Do you remember how much money you spent on groceries two days ago?" ”

The three cooks were stunned for a moment, and turned to look at the thinner cook.

The thin cook's eyes moved to the left, and then he replied seriously: "Childe, the villain remembers, it seems to be ...... at that time It took a total of 20 wen. ”

Li Yi nodded, and now, it was almost certain that this person was not lying.

Because when a person lies, his eyes will involuntarily move to the right, and at the same time, his eyes will also stare at you seriously, indicating that he is really telling the truth.

But it's often the other way around, and when that happens, it's a sign that he's lying.

As for the thin cook, his eyes moved to the left, mostly reminiscing about the past.

Li Yi looked at the other two cooks and asked aloud, "When did you come to Du Mansion to be cooks?" ”

The other two cooks were also stunned, and finally looked like thin cooks, moved to the left for a moment, and said in unison: "I came here about twelve years ago, Childe." ”

"Understood." Li Yi nodded, and did not continue to ask them.

Since this poison was not inflicted by the three of them, who could it be? dared to poison the house, and then took the opportunity to blame the three cooks in the house for the poisoner.

And before, Li Yi did not find any signs of poisoning in the meals eaten by Du Ruhui.

Li Yi suddenly realized that things had become a little uneasy as he had guessed before.

Perhaps, someone will deliberately retaliate!

But who will be taking revenge?

And revenge on Du Ruhui's head?

Li Yi felt that things had become tricky, and if he looked into it aimlessly like this, he was afraid that he would ...... Before the source of Du Ruhui's poisoning was found, Du Ruhui was already dying.

Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly squatted down, ignoring the mess of rice residues, and began to seriously search for the source of the poison.

"Childe, this kind of thing, let's leave it to the villains, right?" The three cooks, seeing that Li Yi's hands were full of dirty things, began to look for the source of the poison, and hurriedly made a proposal.

They have never seen a gentleman from a noble family who would search for things in the rice bucket in front of others.

"How filthy this is! It's all a beggar's behavior!"

The three of them sighed in unison.

"No need, you can't find out, I'll do it myself." Li Yi waved his hand, thought about it for a while, got up and gave Du Xiaomei a warning, and then walked out of the kitchen with the rice bucket and began to look for it in front of everyone.

At the same time, Du Xiaomei, who got Li Yi's hints, also carefully observed the changes in everyone's expressions.

Although she didn't understand what Li Yi said, Du Xiaomei knew that as long as she did it, she was right.

However, after observing for most of the day, Du Xiaomei did not find a person's expression, showing the panic that she should have, and even the slight tremor of her right shoulder, did not happen.

However, countless people in the Du Mansion were all shocked to see Li Yi doing such a thing in public.

Even the three chefs who sighed before were a little sad to watch.

"Childe actually ...... In order to save Du Xiang, even rummaging through the rice bucket can be done, how about we, we also have to help Gongzi, right? ”

"Yes, a person as good as Li Gongzi, such a person who disregards vulgar etiquette, it is difficult to find one in the world."

"But we ...... How can we help Childe......"

The three cooks looked at each other for a while, a little overwhelmed, and their hearts were more admired.

Du Xiaomei looked at Li Yi's movements, and she was also a little distracted.

"Third brother, little sister...... Little sister..."Du Xiaomei choked up a little, and her voice couldn't help but sob, but Li Yi, who heard this voice, said lightly, "Little sister, don't be distracted." ”

"Oh, little sister knows, third brother." Du Xiaomei stopped sobbing at this time, quickly came back to her senses, and continued to observe the people around her.

But she still had nothing.

But fortunately, although Du Xiaomei did not find the suspect, Li Yi finally found the source of the poison in the rice bucket.

"This is it?!"

Li Yi was surprised.

Even, he was a little unimaginable, looking at the ingredients in his hand, his face couldn't help but flash a touch of puzzlement.
