Chapter 345: Finding the Fish Skin
Youcao can't care about this much, she just knows that with these fifty taels, she and Miss will live in the future, at least not so embarrassed.
Seeing that Miss couldn't rest assured, she couldn't help but comfort her and said, "Miss, you should borrow Du Gongzi's fifty taels of silver, and when we have saved enough money, how about you return it to him in person if we meet again?" ”
In fact, Youcao knew that the chance of them meeting again was very small.
Unexpectedly, Mu Tingcheng was very happy when he heard this, so he said: "Then arrange it like this, unless it happens, we can't move this silver." ”
"Hey!" The grass is crisp and vigorous.
Originally, the two women, monotonous and hopeless life of looking for relatives, because of their chance encounter with Du Chong, had a little more hope and hope, they walked on the street, and always looked at the pedestrians who walked by, hoping to meet Du Chong.
However, there is a vast sea of people, and there will be so many chance encounters there.
After Du Chong left this small courtyard, he returned to the vicinity of Jiang's house again and continued to investigate until Shen Anting found him.
"Brother Du, what did you find?"
"Originally, there were many Jiang families, and we could still catch one or two people, so we could ask. Now that the subordinates of the Jiang family are basically gone, it is not easy to check. ”
In order to check this, Du Chong even turned over the sewer in the backyard of the Jiang family. Not only did it stink, but other valuable things were not found.
"Jiang family's kitchen, you can go and check." Shen Anting asked.
"No, the kitchen man hasn't stopped. I heard that Mrs. Jiang had a heartache because of an accident at home, and the subordinates of Calais boiled medicine for her, and after a while, they stewed soup or something. ”
Shen Anting looked at the surrounding terrain and saw that there was only one little maid boiling medicine in the kitchen, and couldn't help but say something in his ear.
Du Chong hurriedly gave Shen Anting a thumbs up. "is worthy of being An An's eldest brother, and he is really smart."
Shen Anting couldn't help but glance at Du Chong, "Sample, I'm An An's eldest brother, I should be smarter than her." Let's do it. ”
After speaking, the two made a gesture, and Du Chong was responsible for deliberately making a movement in the courtyard to attract the attention of the little girl in the kitchen. Shen Anting took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen of the Jiang family and went inside to take a look.
According to Shen An'an's instructions, Shen Anting wanted to find the food they ate about fish at Jiang's house. It's best to have the leftover ingredients found and take them back to study.
Du Chong threw a small pebble to the other side of the yard, and the little girl who was boiling medicine in the kitchen was really clever and heard it immediately.
Busy asked, "Who?" "Looking around for a moment.
The little girl went out on the front foot, and Shen Anting sneaked into the Jiang family's kitchen on the back foot, and first conducted a big cleaning of all the ingredients inside. Everything that smelled fishy was taken away by him.
Later, he opened the cupboard in the kitchen of the Jiang Mansion, there were some leftovers in it, of course the host's family would not eat leftovers, presumably people left behind these things.
However, Shen Anting didn't find anything, and the little girl couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" ”
She was looking for it, and suddenly realized that someone had thrown something on her head, and she suddenly screamed in pain, who is it?
Du Chong hurriedly pointed forward again and threw a small pebble.
At this time, the girl finally knew that someone was making trouble in the yard, and immediately screamed loudly to alarm the grandmother and the nursing home.
The front yard is lively, and the kitchen is safe.
Shen Anting, who hadn't found anything, put his eyes on the kitchen drain. If they washed the fish, even if they washed the fish yesterday, it is estimated that there are clues.
So he took a lot of effort to pry the kitchen drain open. Finally, I saw that there were one or two more things like fish bubbles in the black water.
When I picked it up, it smelled very fishy, and it was a little like what Shen Anan said, the smell of aquatic plants.
Shen Anting was immediately overjoyed, and all of them were salvaged and packed in a bag prepared in advance.
After finishing it, restore the scene to its original state, and then go to Du Chong.
Du Chong knew that Shen Anting was finished, and after catching a hide with the Jiang family's nursing home, he disappeared directly.
The little girl who was boiling medicine then remembered that there was still medicine boiling on the stove, "Oops, Madame's medicine." ”
After running back, he saw that the medicine was still simmering over low heat, so he patted his chest and muttered something in his mouth. "It's okay, it's okay, it scared me to death just now."
The little girl with a big heart didn't think about it, what if someone drugged Madame's medicine jar.
Here, Shen Anting and Du Chong were rushing back.
"How? Did you find it? ”
Shen Anting couldn't help but directly raise the things in his hand, not caring that there was still a smell of stinky water from the underground ditch on his body.
"I, Shen Anting, can't do it, I will definitely gain something when I go back this time."
"I hope so."
Seeing Du Chong's pale face and his walking was a little shaky, Shen Anting couldn't help but help him and asked, "Brother Du, are you okay?" ”
"I'm infected with the wind cold, and I'll be fine after a while." Shen Anting rode back by himself, but helped Du Chong call a carriage.
As soon as he got into the carriage, the drug attacked, and Du Chong fell asleep grogily. When he returned to Li's Mansion, because of the medicine, the effect of the medicine worked, Du Chong sweated all over, and after resting, he was much more energetic.
When I got out of the carriage, I didn't have much strength on my body, and everything else was fine.
When Du Chong and them came back, Shen An'an also came back from Ning Zhifu not long ago, went to see Li Sheng, and brought him some food.
Li Sheng was in good spirits, and he didn't seem to feel that going to prison was a crime at all, but he comforted Shen Anan and said: "I'm thinking carefully here, thinking about what happened recently, and my mind is getting clearer and clearer. I also thought that Jiang Linglong's death was definitely because of external factors. Because I didn't even hit her, or I wanted to kill her. ”
"Young master, you really didn't kill her, because she died of poisoning." Then Shen Anan told Li Sheng about the discovery on their side, and told him, "As long as Brother Du has specific news, the source of Jiang Linglong's poisoning has been found." We can ask Master Ma to have Jiang Linglong's body verified. ”
"An An, you have worked hard, you look a lot haggard overnight." Li Sheng looked at him, and his hand gently stroked her face and her hair.
"Ahem, hey, you two kiss me here, have you considered my feelings." Unexpectedly, Li Youyou was still jealous, so Shen Anan smiled and let go of Li Sheng's hand.
Told him: "Young master, don't worry, we will save you soon." ”
"Well, I believe you."
"Then remember to eat well here, and when you go to bed at night, beware of catching a cold." When Shen Anan was leaving, he told him uneasily.
Li Sheng gave Shen Anan a smile back.
When he left the cell, Shen Anan felt warm and sour in his heart.
The sour thing is that such a big thing has happened, and Li Sheng is still like a nobody. However, it can be seen that he is still quite worried about Master Li, and hopes that Shen Anan can go to see him after he goes back.
What is warm is that when I see him again and see him safe and sound, I can't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart. Only then did I realize that Li Sheng's weight in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.
Shen Anan wanted to go to see Master Li, but she didn't expect that the Yang family wouldn't even let her in, so she could only come back.
Unexpectedly, not long after coming back, I received the news that Du Chong and his eldest brother were also back.
Shen Anan hurriedly went downstairs.
"Brother Du, brother, what's the situation?"
When I saw them, I could smell the smell of the two of them, but I saw my brother holding a bag high in his hand with a happy look on his face. She didn't feel dirty, and quickly took it.
As soon as the bag was opened, a disgusting smell came out.
"An An, you go, I'll help you get it. Fetch a few basins of water. ”
Immediately, Shen Anting poured all the vegetables, bones and things like fish bubbles he brought back from the Jiang family into the water and washed them little by little.
It wasn't until the third basin of water was changed that everything was washed clean.
"Let's see if there's anything we're looking for." Shen Anting pulled it with his hands, because the winter wind was blowing, and his hands were very cold.
His hands were as cold as carrots.
"Brother, go in and roast. I've asked them to give you bath water, you guys take a hot shower first. Brother Du went to rest after taking a bath, you were busy all night, and you were tired and sick. ”
Shen Anan saw at a glance that Du Chong's face was wrong, he spoke very energetically on weekdays, but when he came back today, he also looked weak.
"Okay, then let's go pack up first, and we'll study it together later."
Xiaode and Zhuang Bo also hurried over after receiving the news. They rummaged through them, picked them up and looked at them, and then put them on their noses and smelled them.
Shen Anan saw the strange fish bubble at first sight and hurriedly picked it up. "What is this?" Looking left and right, I vaguely felt that I had seen this somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.
Xiao De and Zhuang Bo also took a look, and they were also surprised: "What kind of fish is this?" ”
None of them recognized it, so they had to put it aside and look through the other things first.
After looking for more than half an hour, everything else was eliminated, and this fish-like thing was left.
Shen Anan took this in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and sniffed it for a long time. "This is like fish skin, and the smell is similar to the smell we smell in Jiang Linglong's blood."
Xiaode listened to Shen An'an's words and sniffed again. The smell was much clearer than the taste of the blood. The smell of fishy and seaweed is also stronger.
"It can be inferred that this fish grew up in seawater, and it should be a marine fish, which may be relatively rare in our interior." After speaking, he wondered again: "Since this fish will be poisoned if eaten, why would anyone eat it." ”
Moreover, after I got up early this morning, I observed that the little vole that was not dead yesterday began to lose its spirits today, and maybe I will go back and see it later, and it will die.
After getting this fish skin, Master Xiaode also tested it with a silver needle, only to see that this fish skin was not poisonous. Several people couldn't help but wonder again.
"Could it be that the skin of the fish is not poisonous, but the flesh or internal organs of the fish are poisonous?"
"It's very likely." Xiaode They agree with Shen An'an's point of view, because in the animal kingdom, there are many reasons for this.
Because the fur of animals only plays the role of keeping warm and metabolizing the cells of the body. Meat and offal, on the other hand, may be ingested from the outside world and may also be exposed to toxic substances.
