“…… Is that so? Shen Yinqiu said softly, "If this is the case that causes them to live like this all the time, then it can't be blamed on us." Just like now, in the cold winter and moon, they have to starve if no one gives them alms, and they will bear the consequences of choosing such a life. There is nothing happier than filling our stomachs, we people can give if we want to, and no one will force us if we don't want to give, everything is voluntary. Think about it, you have become a beggar and cold and hungry, and someone gives you a hot nest head, how do you feel? ”

Luo was speechless, and he must have been grateful that someone gave him a little warmth when he was cold and hungry.

Wan Qiyan diverted the topic between them and said: "The corner in front is the North Lane, let's go and see where she lives first." ”

Shen Yinqiu looked ahead and nodded, but there was something strange in his heart, the beggar just now seemed to be really strange.

They can't drive them away, right? But the other beggars did not behave in the same way, what was he afraid of, he did choose to crawl away when he saw her.

Luo Yiyi was in the mood to show them the way, but it turned out that they didn't need to lead the way at all, and the man with a single surname lived as if he had lived in Luoshui Town for a long time. I'm very familiar with these streets, and I'm really puzzled.

Shen Yinqiu also found out, she poked her head and said, "How do you know the road?" ”

Wan Qiyan said: "While you are taking a nap, I studied the map of Luoshui Town for a while. ”

"Peeking behind my back." Shen Yinqiu stared at him with a little resentment.

Wan Qiyan couldn't cry or laugh, "Aren't you unable to read the map?" So I'll show it to you, don't be angry, I'll explain it to you slowly when I go back. ”

They entered the alley, Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu observed along the way, and there was a rather large black blood stain left in the corner of the alley after walking a few steps, which had dried up, and there had been no snow since the morning, so it was obvious.

The two stood still in front of the blood stains, carefully observing the ground and the surroundings, and there were no suspicious traces.

Shen Yinqiu looked ahead, then looked at the alley behind where there was no figure, and asked Luo Zhiyi, "Are there very few people coming in and out here?" ”

"Yes, they usually enter and exit at another exit, because Li Xiuhua's home is at the end of the alley, so they often walk through this alley, which is relatively close."

Shen Yinqiu snorted, pointed to the bloodstains and said, "Why is this blood dark black, is it because of poisoning?" ”

Luo Zhiyi didn't think about this problem, Wan Qiyan touched her head and said, "It's not that the poisoning will turn black after a long time, let's go, go to the front and have a look." ”

Shen Yinqiu followed him thoughtfully and walked forward, and came to a very simple house, a lot of the fence was falling dirt, and the gate of the courtyard was loose and not firm, Luo Yiyi stepped forward and pushed it open, and the three of them stepped in.

It was the same as the common people's yard, with clothes poles, wells, elevated sieves for drying things, water basins, and a small vegetable patch in the corner, and a few strings of red peppers and garlic hanging under the eaves.

Luo Zhiyi didn't think there was anything good to look at these, he stepped forward and pushed open the door, the inside was also extremely simple, the furniture was also small, empty, only a four-room wooden table and two chairs, the canvas hanging on the pillar was washed and the color could not be seen, as soon as he entered, he saw the two tablets placed at the main entrance, one looked very new, it was the tablet of Li Xiuhua's mother who had just died.

Shen Yinqiu swiped the tabletop with her fingertips, picked it up and rubbed it, it was very clean, there was almost no dust, Li Xiuhua should be a hardworking girl.

Wan Qiyan walked in front of the tablet and didn't know what he was looking at, Shen Yinqiu stepped forward, saw the tribute in front of the tablet, and remembered the ancestral hall of the Shen Mansion, which was really a bad memory.

Luo Zhiyi also looked left and right and said, "There is nothing to see here, didn't you say that you want to go next door to inquire?" ”

Shen Yinqiu looked back and wondered: "Why is there nothing to look at, don't you smell a faint smell of medicine in this room?" ”

Luo was stunned, sniffed hard, and found that this was really the case. But what does this prove? He said: "As I said before, Li Xiuhua's mother, Aunt Li, died of illness, and Aunt Li has been taking medicine for a long time, and after a long time, there will be a smell of medicine in this house." ”

Shen Yinqiu walked to the kitchen outside the courtyard, the stove was very clean, cold, and there should have been no fire in the near future, she said: "Fei Ye, no matter how heavy the smell of medicine is, it should have dispersed a long time ago, and you can't feel it in this weather, it often winds, the windows of her house are ajar, which means that she likes ventilation, in this case, how can there still be the smell of medicine from three months ago?" On the premise that she loves to clean. ”

Luo listened to what she said, and slowly pondered.

Shen Yinqiu looked at those pots and pans, and found the medicine residue in the lower left corner outside the kitchen along the smell of medicine, she squatted down and looked at the black thing, pulled a wooden stick left and right, and couldn't recognize what kind of medicinal herb it was.

Wan Qiyan also squatted down beside her, took the wooden stick in her hand and said while turning it over: "Baiya, mint, skullcap, Nansu bellflower, fritillary almond...... This is a cure for cough. ”

Luo Yiyi blurted out: "How do you know? ”

Shen Yinqiu raised his head: "A long-term illness becomes a doctor." She looked at Wan Qiyan again and said, "This should have been poured out in the past two days, Li Xiuhua is not in good health, and she has seen a doctor." ”

Wan Qiyan hummed, and then saw the fragments of the medicine stove in the tatters, he walked over and picked it out with a stick and said, "The reason why the medicine stove was not found is that it seems to have been broken by her." ”

Shen Yinqiu also saw it, she sighed and asked Luo Zhiyi, "Are you really sure that Li Xiuhua was killed by him?" ”

Luo was speechless, and said after a while: "You can't just find out these and say that Li Xiuhua died of illness." ”

Shen Yinqiu shrugged: "You didn't even know the cause of her death and came to arrest us, you really carried it out to the end with the belief that you would rather misunderstand and not let go, if you finally learned that Li Xiuhua died of illness, I don't know where your yamen's face is gone." ”

"I'll let you go when the time comes, and I'm sorry, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone is responsible for cooperating with the county government to handle the case! ”

Shen Yinqiu was speechless, this cheeky person was very thick-skinned and had a good mentality, and he couldn't communicate.

The three of them checked Li Xiuhua's yard in an all-round way, and the movement of their words attracted the old grandmother in the neighborhood next door to come out to check.

This is an old man, with gray hair, crutches, wrinkled face, and cloudy pupils. The old man first looked at Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu, then looked at Luo Yiyi, and asked in a dumb voice, "Are you here to investigate the matter of Xiuhua's girl?" Hey, she's a good boy, and my old woman is still young at her age, so you must catch her murderer. ”

Shen Yinqiu watched her cry, took a few steps forward to her and asked, "Old man, is this Xiuhua usually in good health?" ”

"What?" She didn't seem to be able to hear what Shen Yinqiu said again.

Shen Yinqiu raised her voice and asked again, the old man still looked a little puzzled, Luo Zhiyi hurriedly came over and said: "This is Granny Zhao, her ears are not good when she is old, her son and daughter-in-law are all working outside, so she is the only one at home during the day, what do you want to ask, you should wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back." ”

His voice was loud, Granny Zhao heard it clearly, and replied: "My eldest son and Chunhua fell asleep as soon as they came back, snoring again and again, you can ask me as an old woman if you want to ask." ”

Shen Yinqiu wondered, her voice had been improved very hard just now, how could the old man understand what Luo Yuyi said.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, she said to Luo Yiyi: "You have a loud voice, you ask this Granny Zhao to see if she knows if Li Xiuhua's usual health is good." ”

Luo Yiyi happily agreed, and talked to Granny Zhao with a slight dialect accent, Granny Zhao shook her head and said: "Xiuhua'er is healthy, what's wrong, it's her mother who is not in good health." ”

Shen Yinqiu shook his head and whispered to Wan Qiyan: "The old man is old, and she shouldn't be able to hear Li Xiuhua's cough." ”

Wan Qian Yan bowed his head, "Go to the hospital and ask." ”

Luo Qiyi hurriedly sent Granny Zhao back to the house, and followed them again: "Do you still want to find Granny Zhao's son and daughter-in-law?" I know where they are. ”

Wan Qiyan said no. Shen Yinqiu said: "How come you even know this?" ”

"Because I also live in North Lane, I know a little more."

Shen Yinqiu let out a long sigh and began to look for pharmacies along the street, and went to the three stores and said that they had not given Li Xiuhua medicine.

Instead, the doctor at the last one pointed them out: "You go to the front and ask, Liu Lao Ghost only gives prescriptions and does not sell medicine." We don't keep anyone who comes to our pharmacy to buy medicine, and we will only be named when we see a doctor. ”

Wan Qiyan thanked him, and followed Luo Zhiyi to find Liu Laogui's medical hall.

However, this old ghost Liu does not have a medical hall, only a table and chair on the side of the road, and borrowed hot water to make tea from the stall next to him, so he sits like a fortune teller.

Although he was old, his eyes were bright.

Wan Qiyan took Shen Yinqiu to stand in front of him for a while, and then he raised his head and said, "Two, see a doctor?" ”

Luo Zhiyi followed from behind, this old ghost Liu was not timid, and asked again, "Yo, Ayi also came to see a doctor?" ”

Shen Yinqiu slightly raised the hat he was wearing on his head, and Old Ghost Liu said at a glance: "Oh, Miss, you are deficient in qi and blood!" It's good to be healthy. ”

Shen Yinqiu said secretly, this old doctor still has some real skills, and she is now taking the pills that Wanbai gave her every day.

Luo Yiyi thought he was talking nonsense, and hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle Liu, don't laugh, we came to ask you about Li Xiuhua in our alley." ”

"Li Xiuhua?" Old Ghost Liu's brows furrowed, "Something happened to her?" ”

Luo Yiyi lowered his voice, "She's dead!" ”

Old Ghost Liu was stunned and regretful for a moment, and only after a moment did he blame himself a little: "Sure enough, I am incompetent." ”

Shen Yinqiu saw that there was a drama and asked, "Why did the old gentleman say this?" ”

Old Ghost Liu glanced at her and asked Luo Yiyi: "These two came with you?" ”

"Yes, they are Luo Dashao to assist us in investigating the case." Luo said righteously.
