Li Mi didn't expect that Xiang Mu, a collector, could even collect tobacco, and the more he looked at these golden tobacco, the more dry his addiction became, and he couldn't wait to take a sip immediately.

Xiang Mu listened to Yuan Keli's evaluation of Li Mi earlier, and used the word interesting, and he already had seven or eight points of recognition for Li Mi in his heart.

"Little brother, tell me what the hell this is!" As a collector, Xiang Mu's curiosity is very heavy, and Li Mi didn't speak for a long time, but it whetted his appetite.

Li Mi also smiled slightly, and was about to explain, but saw Yuan Keli preemptively say: "Chunde, I won't tell you, I came here with Li Mi today, I came across a difficult case, there is a suspect's handwriting, and you need to identify one or two..."

When Xiang Mu heard this, he was very impatient and said: "I told you a long time ago not to get involved in the case again, but you are this old problem, I really don't know how good it is to deal with murderers and dead people all day long!" ”

Just from this one complaint, it can be seen that Xiang Mu really cares about Yuan Keli, Li Mi is also thinking in his heart, or Yuan Keli is delicate, and he even took advantage of this opportunity to ask Xiang Mu to help.

Xiang Mu has always been curious about what this tobacco is, but now that he finally found out that Li Mi recognized this thing, he was already itching, and he agreed after complaining a few words.

"It's easy to identify anything, let the little brother tell me what this thing is!"

Li Mi turned his head, saw that Yuan Keli winked at him, and also smiled, twisted some golden tobacco from the box, and explained:

"This is a foreign product from the West, called tobacco, there may have been in ancient China, I think it should be called the soul rejuvenation grass, and the Koreans call it the Nanban grass."

"Soul Rejuvenation Grass? What's the use of this thing? ”

Li Mi took the cigarette stick from Yuan Keli's hand, stuffed the tobacco into it, and then lit it on the fire for boiling tea, and took a deep breath, which was swallowing clouds and spitting out fog!

The smoke dispersed, Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu glanced at each other, and they were inevitably surprised, they didn't expect it to be such a usage, but this thing looked somewhat evil, after all, they had never seen it.

"The water soaked in this tobacco can be used to repel insects and snakes, and its leaves are dried, supplemented by wine and fried, and inhaled by burning smoke, which can refresh and invigorate the mind and soothe the mind..."

Li Mi twitched and explained at the same time, Yuan Keli also suddenly realized, but Xiang Mu's eyes were glazed, and it took a long time before he slapped his head and exclaimed, "It turned out to be this thing!"

Before Yuan Keli could ask a question, Xiang Mu walked to the big bookshelf, and after some searching, he finally took out a thin booklet, and looked at the booklet's condition, which turned out to be new.

"This is the "Book of Dew" written by Yao Lu, a native of Putian, where there are twelve volumes, which record a lot of messy things, mostly local customs, humanities, local products and music, and so on, this is one of the volumes, I want to talk about this tobacco!"

Xiang Mu opened it and pointed it to Yuan Keli, who read softly: "There is a grass in Luzon, which is called Danba, and a drunk." Burn one end with fire, and put one end to the mouth, and the smoke will enter the throat through the pipe..."

"Earlier, some people brought Zhangzhou to plant it, but now there are more than Luzon and it is included in its national sale."

"Tamba mushroom, there are also in Pu today, commonly known as golden silk drunk..."

When the two of them saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised, not only Xiang Mu, but even Yuan Keli felt strange, why such a young man as Li Mi could recognize such an obscure thing.

"The little brother is from Fujian?"

Although Li Mi had a household from the tooth shop, he was also weak-hearted, and immediately said vaguely: "My family is originally from the South China Sea, and I often come into contact with some maritime merchants, so I recognize this thing..."

As soon as Li Mi said this, Xiang Mu was also stunned, Li Mi was afraid that he would ask again, after all, there was Yuan Keli, a detective, who was present, and it would be too wrong to say more, in case it was found out, it would be miserable, so he handed over the cigarette stick, and opened the topic and said: "Can you dare to try the old Chinese book?" ”

Xiang Mu is a novelty-lover, so he took it, and at first he just tried it in small sips, but the pipe was very long, and he didn't breathe, so he inhaled hard, and even choked.

Seeing that Xiang Mu kept coughing, Yuan Keli also laughed, and the former hurriedly handed the cigarette pipe to Li Mi and waved his hand.

"This smoke is in my throat, I am upset, cough cough... Dizzy and stuffy, where is there any boosting effect, cough cough... This thing hurts a lot, so it's better not to touch it..."

Li Mi handed the cigarette pipe to Yuan Keli again, and said with a slight teasing: "Lord Yuan, do you want to give it a try?" ”

Yuan Keli is a person who is enthusiastic about reconnaissance, and when he encounters a novelty, he naturally knows the principle, so he immediately took a sip, although he forced himself to cough, he also frowned, and waved his hand again and again: "This is not a good thing..."

Li Mi didn't say much, seeing that the cigarette was almost burned, he hurriedly took another big puff, such a high-quality tobacco can't be wasted.

The two of them saw that Li Mi was very happy, and they couldn't help but wonder, wondering if Li Mi had practiced internal qigong, so he was more tolerant of smoke, but they didn't ask questions after all.

At this time, the teapot was boiling, Yuan Keli turned his hand to make tea, and Xiang Mu pushed the long box to Li Mi.

"This thing is not very fun, since Little Brother Li knows it, he will give it to you, and it should be a friendship to meet."

Li Mi wanted to be polite, but Xiang Mu's family was wealthy, and this old man had the same interests as Yuan Keli, and they were both straightforward people, so he didn't need to twist his attitude, so he took it and thanked him.

"Then I'm disrespectful... It's just that the younger brother is poor, and he didn't bring any supplies..."

Xiang Mu saw that Li Mi was also a straightforward person, and Li Mi had an unexpected performance, and Li Mi didn't joke with them angrily, which showed that Li Mi was indeed an interesting person, so he nodded and smiled.

"Little brother, you see what I'm missing here, I really have to have a heart, I'll move around more in the future, brother, I have a lot of fun things here..."

Li Mi also smiled and nodded, Yuan Keli had already started to divide the tea, after the three of them drank the tea, Yuan Keli glanced at Li Mi, and Li Mi took out Chen Shi's suicide note and those IOUs from his arms and handed them to Xiang Mu.

Xiang Mu usually looks easy-going, but when it comes to business, he is extremely rigorous, he put the suicide note and IOU on the table, and after checking it carefully, he took a basin of water, and threw the suicide note into the water without saying a word!

This is the evidence left by the county government, and Li Mi borrowed it from Jian Dingyong because he was good at talking, and after entering the water, the ink quickly melted away, and the suicide note was destroyed!

"Lao Zhongshu..."Li Mi was about to make amends, but Yuan Keli stopped him and made a silent gesture, so that Li Mi should not disturb Xiang Mu.

Li Mi was also distressed at this time, so he could only wait quietly with his head down, but he saw Xiang Mu lying on the table, staring intently at the water, and his atmosphere was not breathing, and it took a long time to straighten his waist.

"The handwriting and writing habits on this suicide note are the same as those on the IOUs, if it is an ordinary mediocre hand, it must not be seen, but the old man can be sure at this time that this suicide note is indeed a forgery."

When Li Mi got this conclusion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because if he could prove that the suicide note was forged, Jian Dingyong would restart the case, and this suicide note could not be used as evidence, and if it was destroyed, it would be destroyed.

However, he was still a little curious, how did Xiang Mu identify it, and what was the reason for throwing the paper into the water?

The so-called art industry has a specialty, Li Mi is not an expert in this area, so he naturally didn't understand the reason, so he asked Xiang Mu.

"Why is Lao Zhongshu so determined?"

Xiang Mu pretended to smile mysteriously, and said to Yuan Keli: "Liqing, do you know what's going on?" ”

Yuan Keli had actually been thinking in secret, but when Xiang Mu asked, he could only shake his head and say, "Little brother doesn't know..."

Xiang Mu couldn't help but get complacent, and laughed: "Liqing, I didn't expect that there would be a time when it would be the old man's turn to show off, right?" ”

Li Mi couldn't help laughing, thinking that these two people were not less comparable, it should have been Yuan Keli who had the upper hand, but this time it was Xiang Mu's turn to specialize, and he was a little arrogant.

"There are almost no discrepancies and differences in the handwriting, which is in line with the writing habits, and there is no problem with the transfer of the starting and descending, but the old man has some doubts, because even if it is the same person, the mood is different, and the writing is not the same."

"The words on this suicide note, written a little sloppy and hasty, think about the mentality is a little anxious, if it is written an IOU or something, lose money, it is natural to be anxious, from the content of the suicide note, it seems that he is guilty, afraid of guilt and committed suicide, this kind of anxiety can not be said..."

Xiang Mu analyzed it like this, and Li Mi finally knew why Yuan Keli and him could become friends for the year.

Although this old Chinese scholar always admonished Yuan Keli and asked him not to touch the murder case, judging from his analysis of the handwriting, this Xiang Mu's reasoning ability is also extremely good, and he is well-informed, well-informed, and knows all the customs and products in the world, such a person is simply a living dictionary for Yuan Keli!

"So man, you are enough to conclude that the words on this suicide note are not copied, but rubbed from other places?" Yuan Keli also grasped the key, and asked with blazing eyes.

"Liqing also saw it? That's right, this suicide note was indeed rubbed word by word from other places! ”

Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised, no wonder Xiang Mu wanted to throw the suicide note into the water!

Seeing Li Mi's expression, Xiang Mu couldn't help asking, "Little brother, can you see the principle?" ”

Li Mi nodded, organized the vocabulary, and then said.

"If it is rubbing, the hyreol camphor and other added substances in the ink will be filtered by the paper once, and these things are the effect of preserving the ink and solidifying the ink, after these substances are filtered, put the suicide note into the water, the ink will quickly disperse, and there will be no oil layer left on the water surface, the kid is right?"

Li Mi is a criminal investigator, although he has not participated in any major cases, but the basic skills are extremely solid, and he started a business with his classmates, and he also worked very hard to self-study and recharge, handwriting identification, not only to see the writing habits, but also the comparison of writing content, and even the material and characteristics of paper ink.

Xiang Mu and Yuan Keli never thought that Li Mi would know this, because even the students who had been in the cold window for ten years would not care about these things.

If it weren't for a collector like Xiang Mu, who needed to make ink and maintain calligraphy and paintings from time to time, who would know that simple ink would add these things?

Some literati were extremely obsessed with the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, and in addition to these things, they would add various spices to make the ink full of aroma, which was not quite understandable to the layman.

Li Mi is clearly doing criminal investigation, not a scholar, but he can know the mystery, which is enough to make people impressed!

"Liqing, you're right, this kid is indeed an interesting person..."Xiang Mu lowered his voice and said to Yuan Keli.
