Chapter 083: Brown Sugar

"Lu, Miss Lu, are you alright......"

In the early morning of the rising sun, Ning Xin'er looked at the two exaggerated dark circles under Lu Xiaowan's eyes with a worried face: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Why do you look haggard? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I might be a bit of a bed-aware." Lu Xiaowan rubbed her eyes, pretending not to care.

If it weren't for the fact that as a surgeon, she would have been used to staying up all night, and she would probably have collapsed in bed by now.

She had a bad quarrel with Xue Muyan last night, and after driving people away, she lay on the bed, but she couldn't sleep from tossing and turning, and her mind was a mess.

Isn't it, I'm finally able to fall in love, and it's over before it starts?

She hammered the pillow a little broken, and wanted to cry without tears.

As a result, I stared at the ceiling, and when I came back to my senses, the window was already white, and the sky was dawning.

Ning Xin'er naturally didn't know about Xue Muyan's sneaking into the mansion, so she could only comfort and serve a bowl of porridge to people: "Today I asked people to prepare some drinks to calm the nerves and help them sleep, you drink a little before going to bed, it should be better." ”

Lu Xiaowan knew that except for sleeping pills, it was estimated that nothing else would have any effect.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the pastry that Ning Xin'er had given herself, and then immediately spit out the thing: "No, there is medicine here." ”

"What?" Ning Xin'er's face changed suddenly, and the chopsticks she was holding also fell to the ground.

The maid who was waiting in the distance came over, but saw her waving her hand: "It's okay, I was chatting with Miss Lu just now, and I accidentally dropped it, you can help me prepare a new pair." ”

After the maid re-prepared the utensils, Lu Xiaowan gritted her back molars and complained fiercely: "It's really bold enough, I, who is a doctor, is in the house, and I dare to blatantly take medicine." ”

"Perhaps, the person who drugged didn't know that you were in the house?" Ning Xin'er clutched her chest and muttered fearfully.

Probably not.

Although I arrived late last night, there should be no one who doesn't know that there is an extra big living person in the house.

Could it be that this medicine was prescribed before, and even the person who took the medicine can't control the poison that will penetrate into the food one day?

Lu Xiaowan suddenly had an idea.

It's like Zhen O's biography, which I have read more than 80 times, and the poison is put in the vessel for boiling medicine. Even if I was staring at the medicine all day when I was cooking, the medicine was naturally put in.

But......

Lu Xiaowan picked up the remaining pastries.

This pastry is a glutinous rice product steamed in a steamer, which is completely different from the utensils used to make milk tea before.

Unless the killer poisoned all the utensils in the kitchen, but that was a bit too risky.

Is there any connection between milk tea and pastries?

Could it be that there is milk in the raw materials? And the murderer mixed the milk with the milk?

No, there was no refrigerator in ancient times, and now it is summer, and milk is not long in coming, sometimes it is bought during the day, and it spoils at night, so it must be bought and used now.

The murderer knew that he was here, and he would definitely not do it.

Is there anything else?

Just as Lu Xiaowan was meditating, she saw Ning Xiuyuan yawning, looking half-asleep, floating over leisurely.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I heard that you made snacks in your kitchen, so I came straight to rub it." Ning Xiuyuan sat next to Lu Xiaowan and reached out to pick up half of the pastries left in her bowl, "What did I say, no one likes to eat brown sugar!" ”

Brown sugar?

Lu Xiaowan's eyes lit up suddenly: "You put brown sugar in this pastry?" ”

"Before, the imperial doctor in the palace said that Xin'er's qi and blood were not good, so she could eat some brown sugar to make up for it. Who knew that she put brown sugar in her sweets, you love to eat, I don't like to eat! Ning Xiuyuan clapped his hands complainingly, and honestly began to drink the porridge in the bowl.

"Did you also put brown sugar in the milk tea before?"

Ning Xin'er nodded: "It's indeed released." ”

"Brown sugar has a darker flavor than ordinary sucrose, and it is really not easy to find poison mixed in it." Lu Xiaowan analyzed it simply, "And brown sugar is easy to store, and it can be used for a long time if you want to purchase it once, so as long as you buy a new one every time, you can mix it with medicine once, and it is not easy to be discovered." ”

Ning Xiuyuan also nodded: "The upper and lower houses will also take brown sugar." ”

It seems that because she has found the root of the problem, Ning Xin'er looks much calmer at this time.

"So what should I do now?"

"If you search directly, it will inevitably make people suspicious." Lu Xiaowan touched her chin and thought, "By the way, you just said that I had a period and my stomach hurts, so let the small kitchen get some ginger brown sugar water." I'll taste it, right? ”

As a result, Ning Xin'er didn't react yet, but Ning Xiuyuan suddenly blushed: "You, what are you talking about in public?" How can such a thing be said nonsense? What a shame! ”

Of course, Lu Xiaowan knew what two words made this little young master jump.

But she wanted to pretend not to know, dragging her chin and asking again: "What nonsense?" Are you referring to menstruation? ”

"I know, I know that you still say!"

The little young master's face was almost burning red because of Lu Xiaowan's repetition again.

Isn't that too innocent? The last time I discussed 419 with him vaguely, he didn't react much, eh?

[Are you sure Ning Xiuyuan really got in the car? ] Maybe he just thinks you're just in the same room? 】

Damn, it makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

Ning Xin'er watched Lu Xiaowan tease her brother and was stunned, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's solve the important things here first." ”

Instead, the issue of poisoning is the most important thing right now.

Lu Xiaowan pretended to have a menstrual cramp, covered her stomach, and rested her forehead against the stone table. After a moment, she felt that the details were not quite in place, so she got up and got some water from the tea bowl and dripped it on her forehead.

Ning Xin'er called the maid at this time: "Miss Lu is a little uncomfortable, you ask the small kitchen to quickly boil some ginger soup and put some brown sugar." ”

The little maid is also an experienced person, and when she saw Lu Xiaowan's face full of despair and eager to take out a certain organ and throw it away, she was quite sympathetic, and hurriedly ran to the small kitchen.

"Miss Lu really acted like that."

Ning Xin'er sincerely admired.

If I hadn't known that she had done this, I would have been fooled.

"I used to have stomach aches, and I didn't have painkillers all day like I was useless." Lu Xiaowan touched her lower abdomen and sighed, although the original owner had a bad brain and was stunned when he was deceived by a scumbag, but fortunately, his body was strong and he had no menstrual cramps.

At this moment, she felt Ning Xiuyuan beside her twist uncomfortably.

I thought that he was going to scold himself for saying a few words in broad daylight, loud and foul language, but I didn't expect that he held back for a long time, and actually whispered: "Does it hurt?" ”

"I'll just tell you this, the pain of giving birth is the more painful it is, the more hopeful it is, the more painful it is, the more desperate it is, the chills all over your body, vomiting and diarrhea, it feels like the whole world has abandoned you."

Lu Xiaowan felt that her words were not exaggerated at all.

She still remembers her former best friend, a forensic doctor who lived in a morgue. On weekdays, you have a cold face, and no matter how terrifying the corpse is, your face will not change, and when you sweep your eyes, you will gasp and feel that you are already a dead person.

is such a cold girl, for a few days every month, like a three-year-old child, holding a hot water bottle, nesting in the sofa to wipe her tears: "Xiaowan, my stomach hurts...... Xiaowan, I'm dying, hug me...... Woowoo woo ......"

In the past, Lu Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of this, but now, there was a moment of loneliness in her eyes.

I don't know if she's okay in that world now.

After a long time, the little maid hurriedly ran over with a bowl of ginger soup that was still steaming, and carefully placed it in front of Lu Xiaowan: "Miss Lu, you hurry up and drink it while it's hot." ”

Lu Xiaowan raised her head and picked up the bowl in her hand sadly.

She took a sip, and the ginger flavor was the strongest, followed by the smell of brown sugar coming out, and the faint bitterness in it.

That's right, it really tastes like the medicine.

If brown sugar is put in milk tea, pastries and ginger soup, and these three dishes are also poisoned, the probability of coincidence is almost none, then there is only one possibility, that is, the poison was put in the brown sugar.

"I found out, it's in the brown sugar." Lu Xiaowan tightened her eyebrows.

"That's not simple, just pull out the brown sugar shop and all the people who handle it and check it out, you can always find it." Ning Xiuyuan looked like a fried cat.

My sister has been harmed by someone for so long, and as an elder brother, I definitely can't sit idly by.

But Ning Xin'er shook her head: "Now that we already know that this poison is in the brown sugar, it will be easy to do." Arresting people directly now is inevitably a surprise to the snake. Since every time the brown sugar is changed in the kitchen, the person will be poisoned, so we might as well take care of it and wait for the rabbit. I remember that the brown sugar was changed every month, and the next change was in the last few days. ”

Lu Xiaowan also agreed: "I can drug someone in Ningfu, and I haven't been noticed for so long, and the other party is obviously not a small person." If you catch someone without evidence, you will not be able to punish the crime, but you will make the enemy hiding in the shadows vigilant, and it will be difficult to catch them in the future. ”

Ning Xiuyuan pursed his lips, although his face was unconvinced, but there was no other way: "Okay, okay, it's okay to listen to you?" ”

At this moment, the doorman suddenly walked over, as if he was a little embarrassed: "Miss Young Master, Miss Lu, there is a woman outside the door, saying that it is Miss Lu, your sister-in-law's sister, I want to see you, do you want to bring someone in, or do you go out to meet her?" ”
