Liling Castle.

…………

Li Mu is not very old, he is straightforward, he can't hide anything on his mind, as soon as he came in, he walked in front of Li Moyi, and argued with Li Moyi with a somewhat gloomy face.

"Brother Li, the brothers on the construction site can't be thieves......... They are all good people, big brother can't wronged them............"

Li Mo knew what Li Mu meant by this, and he was not annoyed, but just handed him a cup of herbal tea.

…………

Li Mu saw that Li Mo didn't care about it, and turned his face away with some anger: "I'm not thirsty." ”

Li Moyi also smiled.

………

As soon as Li Mo saw that he was angry, he gently put down the teacup, and then looked directly at Li Mu and said, "That foreman brought it here?"

Li Mu was about to nod, but he remembered that the foreman told him not to admit it, but he was not a person who could tell lies, so he immediately blushed and buried his head in silence.

…………

After a long time, Li Mu muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just a few herbs, since Brother Li is willing to give them meat and processing money, why do you have to grab a few worthless herbs?"

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder, handed him the teacup again, and then continued to speak.

…………

"Li Mu, do you know why you were asked to move reinforcements?"

Li Mu only knew that Li Moyi asked him to inform Xu Jiu and Ning Kexuan, and by the way, he also called Wang Shi over to accompany the hall, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he had to shake his head at this time.

…………

Li Moyi sighed lightly and said: "Whether the herbs are rare or not, and it depends on where they are used, if the stolen herbs are to cure a thief across the ocean, is it just a few herbs?"

Li Mu was not stupid, and he also realized something after listening to it, but he still couldn't change it for a while, and immediately doubted it.

…………

"Okay, as Brother Li said, these herbs are very useful, and if they are used to treat bad people, it will be very wrong, but how can Brother Li be sure that the little thief is the person on our construction site? Can't it be the bad guy who stole it? Why is Brother Li so sure? ”

Although Li Mu had also heard some rumors about Li Taiping solving the case, he was only anxious to intercede for the workers at this time, where did he still think of this stubble, and besides, he had not seen it with his own eyes and experience, and he could not have a deep understanding of rumors such as Li Taiping's ability to solve cases.

…………

Li Moyi turned his head slightly: "I can see the shoe prints in the medicine garden, and I can immediately distinguish them." ”

“……… Da Han is a girl, her feet are smaller than yours, and hers is her own cloth shoes, but the workers are straw shoes, and the shoe prints are different. ”

…………

Listening to Li Moyi's analysis, he was a lot more angry in his heart.

After all, he has never been involved in any case, and Li Mo deduced so smoothly with his footprints, which may be very simple after the explanation, but for Li Mu, such an inference is a very miraculous thing.

…………

"Then why is the big brother sure that it's the person on our construction site, and not the bad guy?"

Although he still had doubts at this time, he was no longer complaining about Li Moyi, but out of curiosity, hoping to continue to listen to Li Moyi's reasoning, as if he had found a little fun.

…………

Li Mo turned his head, took out a paper bag from his arms, spread it out, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Li Mu and said, "Look at what these are?"

Li Mu looked suspicious, looked down carefully, twisted some more, rubbed it with his fingertips, scratched his head and replied: "This is stone chips, it is very common on the construction site, in the past two days in the foundation building, the stone chips are all over the body............

…………

Li Mo nodded in agreement, and then continued: "These stone chips were found in the medicine garden, just on the edge of a shoe print under a few peony plants, what does this mean?"

Li Mu knocked his head and replied abruptly: "I understand, these stone chips must have fallen on the shoes of the workers when they were working, so the eldest brother is so sure that the thief is from our construction site!!"

…………

Li Mo turned his head slightly, but asked rhetorically: "These stone chips may also be left by the person outside, since he asked the people inside to help him steal herbs and not go to the construction site, how can he instruct the person inside?"

Li Mu had already invested in the analysis at this time, and after Li Moyi's step-by-step enlightenment, he gradually mastered this rhythm, and after pondering for a while, he calmly analyzed.

"It's not the person outside, if it's that person, since he can come to the construction site, he must pass through the medicine garden, since he passed through the medicine garden, he steals it back by himself, why should he instruct others in one move, this is unreasonable."

Li Mo smiled, and continued to guide: "Since the person outside didn't come in, how could the person inside be instructed by that person?"

…………

Li Mu: "The people outside can't come in, but the people inside can go out, it must be that after the person went out, he was instructed by the person outside to come back and steal the medicine!" ”

“……… So how do you know who the thief is? Li Moyi continued to ask.

This time, Li Mu thought about it for a long time, and his eyes did not have the initial excitement, but more calm.

…………

"As long as we ask clearly, who has been out in the past few days, that thief must be one of those people who went out!"

"Yes, hahaha........." Li Mo nodded and said with a smile.

After the words fell, Li Mu forgot that he was here to intercede, and immediately stood up eagerly, and said happily: "I'm just asking, who has been out in the past few days!!"

Li Mo didn't expect him to be so popular, and he couldn't be left or right, so he hurriedly stopped and said: "No need, they have been pressured right now, this person can't withstand the pressure of the big guys, and he will definitely escape secretly tonight............"

"Yes, yes, yes! As long as we catch him, we can ask who the person behind him is!! Li Mu's eyes lit up, as if it was the first time he had deduced the truth in person.

However, Li Moyi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to arrest him, even if you catch him, if he keeps his mouth shut, you will have to work hard to pry his mouth open."

…………

"What then?" Li Mu was a little anxious, for fear that the target of his mouth would fly away.

Li Moyi sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly.

"After this thief escapes, his identity will also appear, and he will definitely worry about being held accountable, and once he is afraid, he is probably thinking of finding a strong backer, which is very likely, and now the question is, after this thief escapes, who will he go to?"

Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes and replied excitedly, "That thief will definitely go to find the person behind him!" As long as we follow him, we will be able to find out the person behind him!! ”

…………

After getting a few revelations, Li Mu also knew that Li Mo was trying to find out the thief and catch the person behind him, rather than really letting everyone roll up and beg, and his mood relaxed.

As soon as Li Mo knew that this kid couldn't hide something, he didn't dare to let him go back to the construction site, so he let him go back to the archer patrol.

…………

It didn't take long for Xu Jiu and Ning Kexuan and others to come to the tea hall.

After Li Mo informed them of the whole story, Tan Zhong and Xu Jiu went to the vicinity of the construction site to keep an eye on them.

…………

It was evening.

Even if the man wanted to escape, he had no chance, and the reason why Li Moyi asked Da Han to warn these workers, indicating that no one had taken the initiative to admit it earlier, and drove everyone away, was to force this thief who was hiding among the workers to force him to escape at night.

…………

There was still a long time before nightfall, so Li Mo went to the medicine garden with Ning Kexuan.

For the villa of Zheng Shuzhi, Li Moyi is very agreeable, especially this medicine garden.

…………

Soon.

…………

Ning Kexuan not only found the shoe prints in the medicine garden, but also came to the outside of the high wall of the medicine garden with Li Moyi.

Li Moyi had already surveyed the inside of the high wall, and there were still some herbal leaves left on the ground, and the shoe prints were also very clear, enough to judge that the thief had thrown the medicine out of the high wall.

But when they reached the outside of the high wall, they found no footprints, but some smears on the ground.

——— should have swept all the footprints on Wang Lung's twigs.

This also shows that Wang Lung has a strong anti-detection ability.

Now, Wang Long can be regarded as the closest suspect.........

…………

If Li Moyi extracted the shoe prints from the inside of the high wall and compared them with the shoe prints of the collection workers, he would soon be able to find out the thief who stole the medicine.

Because the straw sandals worn by the workers are all woven by themselves, the texture of each pair of straw shoes is different, and the comparison results should be more obvious.

But because he needed to get to the bottom of the situation, Li Moyi still had to wait for the thief to jump over the wall without permission and take him to Wang Longshang, so he dispelled this idea.

…………

However, since the fingerprint comparison has brought real results, Ning Kexuan has obviously become very interested in traceology, and when he saw these shoe prints, he immediately proposed to compare them.

…………

After surveying the scene, the sun had not yet set.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the verdant medicinal plants that absorb the last rays of light's energy and then release a variety of aromas that refresh the heart.

…………

This medicine garden is huge.

Li Moyi hadn't looked at it carefully before, and he was also in a good mood at this time.

He walked with Ning Kexuan in the medicine garden, looking at all kinds of flowers and plants.

People say that poisonous grass blooms intoxicating flowers.

It's mid-May, and the summer months of April and May are the time for many plants to bloom.

The whole medicine garden is also full of fragrance, and people can't help but be fascinated by it.

…………

But when Li Mo walked into the depths of the medicine garden, his eyes suddenly lit up!

In a corner in the depths of the medicine garden, under the light of the afterglow.

——— a large sea of orange-red flowers, which resolutely attracted his eyes!!

These flowers are huge and fresh, with slender stems, and look like a stunning beauty with a bun and a flower crown, and the beauty is breathtaking.........

Ning Kexuan was also stupid, and reached out and picked a large flower, and the flower stem suddenly overflowed with white fish maw.

…………

"What a beautiful flower! What is this herb called? How come you've never seen it? Ning Kexuan asked Li Mo while sniffing the flowers.

Li Moyi didn't expect to find this kind of thing in this medicine garden, although he knew that Zheng Shuyi had a deep research on herbs, but he didn't expect that he would grow this kind of thing.........

…………

Li Mo couldn't help but take the flower from Ning Kexuan's hand and whispered, "Be careful, this thing is poisonous ........."

"What? Poisonous? But this flower is so beautiful........." Ning Kexuan was obviously a little disappointed, he originally wanted to plant some in his home, but he didn't expect this thing to be so poisonous.

…………

"Everything in the heavens and the earth is governed by the laws of existence. The more colorful and colorful snakes and frogs, the more venomous, and the more beautiful and moving the flowers, the more you need to be careful........."

"Why do you know so clearly? Brother Li knows the origin of this flower? ”

…………

Li Mo sank for a moment, and then said, "This flower is called Poinsettia...... The whole plant is highly toxic. ”

“……… The white fish maw in the stem, if it falls on the skin of ordinary people, can cause redness, swelling, fever, itching and local pimples. If you accidentally eat the stems and leaves, there is a risk of poisoning and death. This area must be sealed off so that no one will come near it in the future, so as not to hurt innocent ........."

…………

"Poinsettia? Sure enough, it lives up to its name...... The name is beautiful, and the flowers are even more beautiful........." Ning Kexuan sighed and said, and couldn't help but glance at the flowers more.

…………

Ning Xuan's family has a lot of medical clinics.

Since he was a child, he has studied medicine with Ning Xiao, and he is also a veteran of the identification of herbs, but he has never seen this herb.

And how could this Li Taiping know so clearly?

…………

Li Moyi also sensed Ning Kexuan's incomprehension, but he was not ready to tell him all.

Because these flowers are alienated, not poinsettias, although the shape is the same as poinsettias, but this is the real broken intestine grass, which is the raw material for the production of large grass soil. (Great grass soil: a kind of tea, slightly poisonous.) ）

…………

Li Moyi didn't know what the purpose of Zheng Shuyi was in planting these alienated Broken Intestine Grass, but judging from the situation of these medicinal plants, the planting time has been continuous, and it has been harvested, which shows that Zheng Shuyi knows very well how to harvest Broken Intestine Grass, and it is even very likely that he knows the medicinal effect of Broken Intestine Grass.........

Thinking of this, Li Moyi's heart was also a little uneasy, although the verdict had not yet come down, but Zheng Shuyi should definitely die.

Li Moyi had to secretly remind himself that before the Zheng scribe was executed, he must ask him clearly, otherwise he would really not be at ease.

…………

Li Mo looked at the flowers of these broken intestine grasses, calculated the time when the flowers fell and knotted, and silently remembered them in his heart, before leaving the medicine garden with Ning Kexuan.

…………

As soon as I returned to the main residence of the Li Mansion.

Li Mo told Da Han and Li Mu a few times that they must block the medicine garden and not allow idle people to enter.

Da Han and Li Mu saw that Li Mo was so solemn, so they kept this matter in mind.

…………

Tan Zhong, Xu Jiu, and the thirteen companion kings were all staring at the workers' residences, and Li Mo asked them to take turns to come back for dinner.

It wasn't until the second watch's bangzi rang at night that Li Moyi and Ning Kexuan came to the left side of the shed.

…………

At that time, the hour system was used to keep time, an hour was two hours, and the night was also timed by "more", and now it is the second watch, that is, from nine to eleven o'clock in the evening.

The people of the time also divided each hour into two parts, the "first quarter" and the "first hour", which was very close to the 24-hour system.

…………

It's past ten o'clock in the evening.

Ordinary people don't have much fun, they go to bed early, and ten o'clock is considered very late.

…………

Li Moyi and Ning Kexuan and Tan Zhong acted separately, no matter which direction the thief slipped from, they couldn't escape from the palm of this Tianluo's hand.

…………

Fortunately, the moon was bright tonight, and the visibility was very high, and after a while, they saw a figure come out of the shed.

…………

"Sure enough, it's him!!"

Li Mo glanced at it, and recognized this short and stout black-faced man, as early as when he checked the footprints, he judged the general size of the thief by the length and depth of the footprints, but there was not much difference.

"It's no wonder that these workers sleep so peacefully......... Who would have thought that the thief who stole herbs would be the foreman, what a thief shouted to catch a thief!! ”

…………

These workers were so anxious that they would not be able to sleep, for if no one came forward to admit their mistakes tomorrow morning, they would all be gone.

But when they tossed and turned, they found that the foreman had been awake, and everyone had always regarded the foreman as the leader, and they felt a little relieved to see that the foreman was guarding.

But no one thought that the foreman was the little thief who stole herbs!!

…………

"Keep up!!"

Li Mo nodded secretly, and followed the foreman not far away, but disappeared into the dark night.
