Chapter 89: Shadows

After drinking the medicine, Bai Zhi took back the empty bowl and put it next to the bed, then took mugwort leaves from the medicine box, rolled up the paper, and lit the fumigation: "This is moxibustion, which is effective for those who are weak and cold-sensitive." ”

As he spoke, he freed his hand to pull up the trouser leg for her and placed the moxibustion on the acupuncture points.

Liu Ruyan leaned on the head of the bed, seeing that the medicine fairy was meticulous and serious, she was still a little unbearable in her heart: "The incident happened suddenly, you didn't close your eyes all night, in fact, moxibustion is such a thing, it's not too late to do it another day." ”

"No, you can't." Bai Zhi didn't raise his head, "If the cold in the body is not removed in time, I am afraid that the root of the disease will fall in the future." ”

Liu Ruyan was silent, she knew that she was a medicine fairy and a doctor's parents, so she changed her words and asked, "How long does this moxibustion take?" ”

Bai Zhi made a slight calculation: "The three acupuncture points of Fengchi, Dazhu, and Hegu will take about half an hour. ”

Half an hour was quite long, she simply lay down and muttered to herself: "Isn't the big vertebral point going to take off your clothes?" ”

Right now, she has just changed out of her wet clothes, and she doesn't wear a bandeau like ordinary women.

Bai Zhi realized it later, and then thought of this, as a pharmacist, he was only responsible for developing medicines, and rarely asked for a consultation in person.

He couldn't help but blush, and looked away: "Actually, you can just expose the back of your neck, and you don't need to remove your clothes......

Liu Ruyan nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Lord Chu is also missing, and his whereabouts are still unknown?" ”

Bai Zhi was stunned: "Have you met Chu Kun tonight?" ”

Liu Ruyan was also not sure: "I fainted before I saw the other party clearly, but the person who attacked me should not be Chu Kun." ”

"Why?" He asked.

"Chu Kun has nothing to do with the deaths of the two adults, he is not the murderer."

"It's not Chu Kun?" Bai Zhi was surprised.

Liu Ruyan analyzed one by one: "On the night of Lord Chen's accident, he had an argument with Chu Kun, and soon after, Chu Kun was discharged from the hospital alone and did go to the small kitchen to get wine, which is one of them. ”

"Second, the murderer can come and go freely in the other garden without arousing suspicion, if it is not a Lian family, it is the family or the nursing home of this Qi Mansion. However, the nursing home has to guard the mansion and is not allowed to move around at will, so it is more likely that the murderer is a family member. ”

"The most important thing is that the murderer used the cat spirit to cover people's eyes and ears, which seems to be a trick, but in fact, he wants to take this opportunity to take revenge on the Lin family, as for the reason, I suspect that it is seeking revenge, but under closer inspection, it seems that it is far more than that."

She lowered her voice and revealed the shocking inside story: "The concubine of the Qi family is not from the Lin family, and her biological daughter has hanged herself ten years ago. ”

In order to let Bai Zhi figure out the ins and outs, Liu Ruyan relayed to him what she had heard before, including the matter of the magnolia bracelet.

"You mean, Lin's magnolia bracelet originally had a pair?" Bai Zhi asked.

"That's right." She nodded, "That maid named Ah Ruo may be the daughter of the Lin family." ”

Bai Zhi was a little depressed after hearing this: "It's really a creation to make people." ”

"Lin never thought that the bracelet on Ah Ruo's body was given by her as a token, but in the end it became evidence of the murder of her own daughter." She whispered, "Coupled with the cat's spirit this time, the Lin clan was devastated, thinking that Ah Ruo's ghost had come back to seek revenge, so he smashed the pair of jade bracelets." ”

Bai Zhi's eyes moved slightly: "In this way, the murderer seems to know Miss Aruo?" ”

Liu Ruyan shook his head: "I may not know, I can find out the old things in Qi Mansion, and the murderer will naturally be."

Liu Ruyan's thinking is lively and clear, and it can be inferred from the above points: "The murderer should be about forty years old, engaged in night chores, had children, and knew his mother-in-law Su. As for why he would attack the three court ministers of the Ministry of War, General Zhonglang, and Changshi, it is initially suspected that they have a personal grudge against the murderer. ”

She paused, thoughtful, but these three adults had served the first emperor together, and no matter what their virtues were, how could they make enemies with the common people.

Ai smoke lingered and drifted away, Bai Zhi lowered her head and smoked the acupuncture points, and continued: "The results of the re-examination are out, Liu Shangshu and Lord Chen were tricked by someone before they died, and the centipede is the introduction of this Gu. ”

"Gu? You're saying that this matter has something to do with Bai Man. She looked so anxious that she forgot for a while that she was still doing moxibustion, and when her calves were curled, she was accidentally burned by hot smoke, and her face suddenly wrinkled.

Liu Ruyan gasped and fell head-on to return to a lying corpse state.

Bai Zhi hurriedly dipped a muslin cloth in water and gave her a cold compress: "You, reckless." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right for everything." She coped casually.

Bai Zhi smiled helplessly, and put down the fine cloth in his hand: "The name of this Gu insect is 'Mei', it hurts people invisibly, Qi Heng has already sent a family member, looking for the Gu person house by house, and the disappearance of Chu Kun, tonight will be a sleepless night." ”

She was silent for a moment, and then looked at the light outside the window: "The movement is so big, I'm afraid the murderer won't have a chance to do it again, Chu Kun may still be alive." ”

Bai Zhi's face changed, as if she thought of something: "Every time a crime is committed, the murderer hangs people alive after they are stunned." He may be waiting, waiting for the limelight to pass tonight. ”

Liu Ruyan also thinks so, but from the Han Dynasty to the Great Zhou, thousands of miles away, he has met Bai Man three times and twice, is it not just a coincidence?

She rolled over, staring at the candlelight on the table, her mind wandering again.

Bai Zhi sat beside the couch and reminded her, "It's time to get to the big vertebral point." ”

Liu Ruyan lay on her stomach and did not move, while reaching out to brush away her black hair, she loosened her clothes again, slightly exposing the back of her neck.

Bai Zhi raised her head suddenly, and in her sight, the warm candlelight covered her with a layer of honey, and the green silk was scattered aside, and the side face set off was particularly quiet. He looked at the prospect and turned his face away in a panic, but his hands did not move.

He has always been a proprietor, and when he was a child in Yizhuang, he was warned that there was a difference between men and women, and that female corpses should not be examined. Later, he worshiped in the Valley of the Medicine King and opened a medical center, which was also doing the work of boiling medicine and making medicines, which was as surpassing as now.

"Genderless patients, genderless patients......"

He silently recited a few words and calmed his mind: "Bai regards Miss Liu as a friend in distress, and he will do his best to heal your body." ”

His voice was extremely soft, and the girl's long eyelashes like ink feathers suddenly trembled slightly, and he cut the candle shadow in his eyes: "I know." ”

Bai Zhi smiled, it seems that Miss Liu also knows his intentions, this friendship is indeed precious.

"I know what's wrong." She opened her lips again and turned her head to look at the reflection on the wall, "The shadow is not in the right place. ”

"What shadow?" Angelica dahurica was confused.

Following her gaze to the wall, the two figures were staggered, one sitting and the other lying, intimate. Bai Zhi was stunned, her eyes looked left and right, and finally she couldn't help but stand up.

Liu Ruyan was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

"No, nothing ......"

She sat up next: "You saw that too?" ”

Bai Zhi nodded in a panic: "I saw it." ”

Seeing the shadow of him and Liu Ruyan, this makes people embarrassed.

Liu Ruyan smiled indifferently, seeing that Bai Zhi was also like her, she was happy because she could break the flaws that the murderer had missed, no, her face was red with excitement.

She agreed: "That's right, the murderer is hiding in the West Courtyard." ”

"Huh?" Bai Zhi was stunned, and the shyness on her face did not fade.

But I heard her continue: "I will invite my mother-in-law Su Shi to come over later, I have some things I want to confirm." ”
