Chapter 27: Jishi Pharmacy
An Wanqing nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The murderer is left-handed, but the knife technique is very skilled, and he can stab into the gallbladder without being biased or crooked, and he probably has some experience, at least he is very familiar with the inside of the human body." ”
"Could it be that the murderer is a puppet?" Nangong Qi said with wide eyes.
"There's another category of people." An Wan Qingdao.
"Doctor." Yan Qingyu said.
Nangong Qi nodded thoughtfully, "The murderer at least has some physical strength, and he shouldn't be too thin." ”
"It's not like it's not going to be nothing, at least it's a lot narrower. Next, leave it to the Imperial Army. Yan Qingyu said.
Nangong Qi glanced at An Wanqing, An Wanqing understood, and followed Nangong Qi out of the second son's room.
"Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Coming to the corridor, An Wanqing looked at Nangong Qi in confusion.
"The credit can't all be snatched away by the Imperial Jin Army, we have to think of a way, we must catch the murderer in front of the Royal Jin Army." Nangong Qi said anxiously.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the capital is very big, and it is not easy to find someone who is both left-handed and knows more about the human body, how could the Imperial Jin Army find the murderer so easily." An Wan Qingdao.
"Didn't Wanqing have an idea?" Nangong Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at An Wanqing, and said with a sigh.
"Send someone to call Ah Mao, I have something to ask him." An Wan Qingdao.
…
When they came to Changyang Street, Nangong Qi and An Wanqing got out of the carriage, and the street was full of people, so it was not lively, and the two changed to walking.
"Wanqing, this Jishi Medicine Hall is a place to practice medicine and save people, the murderer shouldn't be a doctor, right?"
Nangong Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest, walked casually on the street, and continued as he walked, "Besides, the prescription that Gongzi took on Tuesday and the residue of the usual decoction medicine have also been checked by the imperial doctor one by one, and there is no problem. If the doctor wanted to harm someone, how could he commit murder in the middle of the night and poison him directly. ”
An Wanqing shook her head, "I don't know, let's go and see." Ah Mao said that the son's gall was not very good this Tuesday, and he went to Jishi Medicine Hall several times to see a doctor. It's always good to ask. ”
"I don't know what happened to Yan Qingyu's end? Have you asked both the husband and Hua Yuelou clearly? Who was the last person he saw before Childe that Tuesday that night? Nangong Qi held his chin and pondered as he walked.
"At the moment, if you don't cooperate with the Imperial Jin Army, the three-day deadline is probably not enough." An Wanqing turned her head to look at Nangong Qi, "Isn't there a single soldier in His Highness?" ”
Nangong Qi smiled awkwardly and scratched his neck, "Xiao Wang has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has not built a palace outside the palace, and he is even more casual and debauched, he has never cultivated his own power, and there are only a few little eunuchs under his command to call." ”
"No wonder everyone is Dao Qi His Royal Highness is the most carefree idle prince in Nanzhao Kingdom." An Wanqing quipped.
"If you need manpower, this king can go to the third brother's mansion to borrow it. Besides, as the prince of Baozhu, this king will still listen to the orders issued by Cai Ming, the head of the Criminal Department, do you need the manpower of the Criminal Department? Nangong Qi said.
An Wanqing thought for a while and shook her head, "The news from Huayuelou and her husband was investigated by the Imperial Jin Army, and now we don't know the situation over there." With the strength of the two of us, I'm afraid that we won't be able to separate, rather than trouble the three princes, or send someone to investigate from the Ministry of Punishment, it is better to ask the Imperial Jin Army directly. ”
"Ask the Imperial Army?" Nangong Qi was a little unhappy.
"It's important to solve the case." An Wanqing glanced at him helplessly and continued to walk forward.
Jishi Medicine Hall is located on Changyang Street in the Imperial City, from Beihua Street in the north of the Imperial City, and it took about half an hour.
"Here we are."
Looking at the red pillar of Gowa, the wooden door was open, and the door plaque hanging in the center under the eaves of the house, Nangong Qi played with the red spike jade flute in his hand.
An Wanqing looked up at the door plaque, black ink on a red background, the words were powerful, and the four big characters were particularly eye-catching, Jishi Medicine Hall.
When the two of them came to the Jishi Medicine Hall, it was already evening, and there was only one doctor and one medicine apprentice in the medicine hall.
Seeing someone coming in, the medicine man hurriedly greeted, "I wonder if the two of you are taking medicine or seeing a doctor?" ”
"Come in, two." The middle-aged man who was checking the bill politely looked up at Nangong Qi and said.
An Wanqing looked around at the pharmacy, the shop was not big, and the decoration pattern was very ordinary, no different from other pharmacy.
"You are the doctor of the Jishi Medicine Hall?" Nangong Qi looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
"In Xia Zhaoyan, it is the doctor of Jishi Medicine Hall." Zhao Yandao.
Nangong Qi glanced at Zhao Yan, who was in his forties, thin and slightly tall, and then looked at the medicine apprentice in his twenties, who was short and skinny.
"Just the two of you in the store?" Nangong Qi asked.
Zhao Yan nodded, "My wife has returned to her parents' house, the pharmacy is not big, and I run it with my apprentice." ”
The medicine man looked at Nangong Qi curiously, obviously suspecting that he was looking around like he was looking around to see a doctor and grab medicine.
"It seems that the two of you are neither here to grab medicine nor to see a doctor." Zhao Yan saw the two of them looking at the pharmacy and smiled lightly.
"We're here to ask something." Nangong Qi said bluntly.
"It's really strange today, why do you come to ask about things." The medicine man on the side muttered quietly.
"What? Has anyone else been here? Nangong Qi looked at the medicine apprentice.
"Yes, the two Imperial Jin Soldiers just left on the front foot, and you came on the back foot, I really don't know who our pharmacy recruited to provoke whom." The medicine disciple was young and vigorous, and snorted lightly.
"Child, Hugh is rude." Zhao Yan raised his head and glared at the medicine apprentice, picked up the brush on the counter, and said unhurriedly while keeping accounts: "The old man has been practicing medicine in this Jishi Pharmacy for ten years, and he has never done anything wrong. ”
An Wanqing's gaze was fixed on Zhao Yan's right hand writing, and she was slightly stunned for a moment.
Could it be that I am thinking wrong?
"They've been here?" Nangong Qi frowned and looked at An Wanqing.
"The efficiency of this Imperial Jin Army is really fast." An Wanqing frowned and sighed lightly, "It seems that nothing has been found, let's go." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Nangong Qi to react, he turned around and walked outside the Jishi Medicine Hall, Nangong Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly caught up with her, "Don't ask?" ”
"Dr. Zhao uses his right hand to keep accounts." An Wan Qingdao.
"He can't be a murderer." Nangong Qi frowned, and then said, "What about the medicine apprentice?" ”
"Skinny and not as tall as Tuesday's son's neck, how could he cover Tuesday's son's mouth and nose behind his back?" An Wanqing asked rhetorically.
Nangong Qi nodded thoughtfully, "That's right." The height of this murderer is naturally taller than Childe Tuesday, or at least it should be similar to Childe Tuesday. ”
"Are we going in the wrong direction?" An Wanqing shook her head in confusion.
"It's getting dark, let's go back and check again tomorrow." Nangong Qi said.
An Wanqing nodded, and the two got into the carriage, and after traveling for half an hour, they returned to Zhou Shangshu's Mansion on Beihua Street.
