"The man is dead, and now it's just a cremator." Zhan Qianche's expression was determined, and he was even more suspicious in his heart: "People die and burn corpses, and there is no proof of death!" ”

"It seems that this matter is nowhere near as simple as we think." Bai Qianning nodded, and asked again: "Is there any news about the old man you asked Mu Yan to contact?" ”

"Not yet, it's been almost six years, and it's normal to not find anyone. But if you can't contact him, there is another way to explore the truth again. ”

"You mean to let Yan Moze stay outside on a full moon night next time?"

"Not bad!" Zhan Qianche didn't expect Bai Qianning to coincide with him, so he said: "After the autopsy is completed, no matter what the situation is, let this matter go first, now that all the royal guards sent by Zhan Qianqi have been dispatched, Bai Shao must completely disappear in the future, and we must always be careful not to show clues." ”

"Hmmm! Then let's go back first, I really can't stand this scene of cremation. ”

After speaking, Bai Qianning returned to Chengfu with Zhan Qianche.

Back at Cheng's Mansion, Zhao Wen and Li Hu were already waiting at the door, and Bai Qianning forgot about the practice of saying that he wanted to learn vegetarian meat.

The three of them came to the kitchen, and all the ingredients had been prepared in advance. Zhao Wen and Li Hu did it step by step, Bai Qianning followed the side to learn, the main ingredient of this vegetarian meat is gluten, of course, to make the meat flavor, there must be a corresponding taste of bones to make brine seasoning.

They first washed and blanched the beef barrel bones and fish bones respectively, then boiled the ingredients, and then kneaded the dough to extract the gluten.

Until this step, Bai Qianning felt unremarkable, until she took a set of special knives and carved a fish out with a cup of tea, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she saw the two of them cut the remaining piece of gluten into small pieces, at first glance it really looked like a piece of meat, but from the color and the bubbles on it, it was obvious that this was not meat.

The two prepared all this, and began to fry the ingredients to make marinade, star anise, cinnamon, sand kernels and other spices were ground into powder, and then added chopped into minced mushrooms, and then the oil in the pot was heated and then the minced garlic was fried, and then poured in the ground spice powder, chopped mushrooms, and soon after stir-frying, the fragrance was overflowing, and then Li Hu added the boiled stock to the pot, put in a spoonful of soybean paste, and then the sauce was fried and immediately started the pot, and the gauze was used as a strainer, filtered many times, leaving only the marinade and oil, and the marinade was completed.

Then waiting for the marinade to cool, Zhao Wen put all the gluten prepared into the marinade and soaked, and said: "White girl, this vegetarian meat is roughly like this, but you can add auxiliary materials according to the needs to cook all kinds of dishes, if you can soak it for a day, wait for the flavor and then take it out, the fragrance is even worse, and it can also be dried and preserved, and the taste will not be too bad." However, this vegetarian meat has a disadvantage, making braised dishes, sweet and sour and other heavy dishes can be fake, but it is not easy to make light dishes. ”

"Hmmm! Since the marinade has been passed, it is naturally difficult to make it into a light taste, but your craftsmanship is really good, and it may come in handy in the future! It's just that I see that you have a slight problem with the seasoning, if you match it more finely, the taste will be more delicate and realistic, but you can think of using shiitake mushrooms to add a strong fragrance, which is not easy. ”

Bai Qianning said this and beckoned the two of them to sit down, and then took out a lot of spices from the space, taught Zhao Wen and Li Hu to adjust the proportion and weight in the same way, and then ground it into powder, and handed it over to them to take it and make it again.

"Mother!" Xiao Douding didn't know when he appeared at the door of the kitchen, holding the squeaky exchange of small rice balls in his arms, and the two children of the Lin family were standing next to him.

Seeing Bai Qianning in the house, Lin Xiaohua was holding half of the leftover sugar gourd in her hand, and hurriedly took Lin Xiaoshan to shout at Bai Qianning: "Aunt Bai" stared at the bowls of vegetarian meat on the table motionlessly.

Bai Qianning saw this situation, and hurriedly beckoned them into the house.

Xiao Douding smelled the aroma of meat, then threw himself into Bai Qianning's arms, leaned on her and asked, "Mother, do you want to eat meat tonight?" It smells so good! ”

"Hmmm! There is something delicious tonight, wait, my mother will make you a bowl first, and you take Xiaoshan and Xiaohua to sit in the yard and eat slowly. ”

"Hey!" Xiao Douding was very happy, and the two children of the Lin family also jumped up and cheered. After waiting for half an hour, a fragrant and lively 'braised fish' was served.

"Oh, let's eat it!" Bai Qianning handed the fish plate in his hand to Xiao Douding, telling them that the fish had no bones, so they could eat it, and then saw the three children running to the yard happily.

Then, Bai Qianning took Zhao Wen and Li Hu to start preparing dinner, with Zhao Wen and Li Hu's vivid carving skills, coupled with Bai Qianning's seasoning and cooking techniques, this meal was praised by the people who ate the room, and Bai Qianning also used this meal to teach his skills to Zhao Wen and Li Hu little by little, so as to cultivate more chefs in the future and prepare for the expansion of the restaurant.

Early the next morning

Mu Yan set up a carriage and got two corpses from the corpse filling pit, both of which were people who had just been killed on the night of the full moon, and they were also the objects that Bai Qianning wanted to autopsy.

The corpse was completely stiff, and it was still beginning to grow corpse spots, and the smell of decay was disgusting, so Bai Qianning put on the mask and gloves prepared in advance and began the autopsy.

According to previous memories, there was a bite mark on the neck of Grandma Zhao's corpse, and this bite mark could be determined to be left by human teeth, and the two corpses found by Mu Yan also had clearly visible bite marks, and the shape and size were also very similar to Grandma Zhao's.

"How? The wounds are consistent, aren't they? Zhan Qianche looked at her expression and roughly guessed the result.

Bai Qianning nodded, straightened the neck of the corpse, and then began to carefully investigate the rest of the body, and after a general inspection, no wounds were found on the two corpses except for the bite marks on the neck.

Bai Qianning had almost made a conclusion, but at this moment she suddenly found a black blood stain behind the ear of one of the deceased, she wiped it with gauze dipped in water, the blood stain was easily wiped clean, but there was no unexpected wound under the bloodstain.

"Strange!" Bai Qianning muttered to himself, and Ye Tan, who was standing aside, asked out loud, "What's a strange method?" ”

"The bite mark on the neck of the deceased is on the right side, and how is the blood stained behind the left ear? And the color of the blood seems to be wrong, even if two days have passed, the blood will not be so black, unless ......"

A chilling thought suddenly appeared in Bai Qianning's heart, she immediately took out a silver needle from the space, took one and stabbed it towards the deceased's abdomen, and took it out again after a while, and soon, the silver needle turned blue-black.

Now her speculation can be regarded as confirmed: "It seems that these people did not die of ruptured arteries in their necks, but from poisoning, and the tooth marks on their necks were added later." This can also explain why there are blood stains behind this person's ears, indicating that this person has bled from seven orifices after being poisoned, in order not to be suspected, someone has disposed of the blood stains on his body, but the person is careless and does not notice that there is still poisonous blood behind the ears. ”

"This means that the group of people who died before didn't die in the same hands as Grandma Zhao?" Ye Tan roughly understood, and asked again, while the other people in the room also realized this. It turned out that their previous guesses were all correct.

Bai Qianning nodded, disinfected the silver needle with wine and put it away, and then stood up and ordered: "Don't leak this in advance, you still need to wait for the next full moon night to make a conclusion, but before that, you need to send a few people to keep an eye on Yan Moze's movements, since Yan Yuan has already moved flowers and trees, and put such a bureau to clear Yan Moze's suspicion, this means that he will send Yan Moze away at any time." ”

"Hmm" Zhan Qianche also thought of this, and then instructed Mu Yan: "You take a few hidden guards to see Yan Moze, report any situation at any time, and also, get these two corpses out and bury them." ”

"Yes!"

Mu Yan responded to the words and took his subordinates to transport the body away.
