Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Son of Linzhou Chapter 10: A Familiar Taste
Xing Qianqiu immediately arranged for someone to investigate the matter about the ship, while Duan Ming returned to the morgue.
Looking at the several corpses in front of him, Duan Ming's fists clenched secretly.
He and Sun Yanzuo didn't have any friendship, after all, they had only known each other for two days.
But Sun Cheng died as him, which was unacceptable to Duan Ming.
No one understands how difficult it is to live better than Duan Ming, so no one will understand better than Duan Ming how precious life is.
When that man pounced on him with a knife, if it wasn't for Sun Chengzuo risking death to save him, then he would have been cut into two pieces!
Taking a deep breath and looking at the more than ten Spiegel officials guarding outside the door, Duan Ming took down the yellow cloth from the table next to him.
When Duan Ming was sent to Rende Hall before, Huang Bu was left here.
Duan Ming looked at Huang Bu and faintly felt that the key to solving this case was here.
Suddenly, Duan Ming seemed to think of something, and said to the Spiegel official outside, "Please get me some water." ”
Soon, the water had been delivered to the morgue, and Duan Ming cut off a piece of yellow cloth and put it in the water to soak.
After a while, Duan Ming took out the yellow cloth from the water again and observed it carefully, but there was nothing abnormal.
Then Duan Ming put the yellow cloth on the fire and baked it gently, wanting to see if there would be any changes in this way.
After baking for a while, the yellow cloth still didn't change at all, and just when Duan Ming was about to change the way, he suddenly smelled an extremely familiar smell.
This smell was very special, Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, it seemed that he had smelled it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, still having no clue, Duan Ming put the yellow cloth in his hand and came to Ji Qianfan's corpse again.
I had been concentrating on studying the yellow cloth before, and I didn't examine Ji Qianfan's body carefully, and when I met with Sun Yanzuo, I was attacked before I could communicate.
Although I have just read Sun Cheng's notes, there are some things that need to be checked carefully.
According to the oral accounts of the people who watched Ji Qianfan before, Ji Qianfan should have died between midnight and midnight yesterday, and the cause of death was drowning.
This was nothing special, but why did Ji Qianfan deliberately send someone to lure away the officials of the Spiegel Division before? And why do you have to run to the banks of the Surin River early in the morning?
Duan carefully examined every detail of Ji Qianfan's body, Ji Qianfan's body was slightly swollen, there were no obvious injuries on the surface of the corpse, the pupils of both eyes were dilated, there was bleeding under the iris, and the eardrums of both ears were ruptured, and blood stains could be seen......
After examining Ji Qianfan's body, Duan Ming's brows furrowed, Ji Qianfan's symptoms completely matched the characteristics of a drowned person, but it always seemed that something didn't feel right.
Duan Ming slowly walked to the side of the chair and sat down, holding the record he made with Sun Cheng in his hand, comparing it carefully, there was basically no difference.
Putting down the notes in his hand, Duan Ming looked at Ji Qianfan's corpse and rubbed his forehead: "What exactly did you not tell me?" ”
Just as Duan Ming was thinking, Xing Qianqiu rushed over.
"Mr. Duan." Xing Qianqiu said to Duan Ming: "The ship you are looking for, you have found it!" ”
"Really?" Duan Ming stood up suddenly.
"We interrogated the person in charge of registration that day, and he said that there was indeed an official ship carrying ice that day, which was late." Xing Qianqiu said: "Normally, the official ship carrying the ice should have arrived the day before yesterday, but it was a night late, and the fog had not cleared when it entered the port. Therefore, in order to prevent accountability, a large amount of money was given, and the person who registered was asked to put the time of entry in front of the port for a few hours! ”
"Where is that ship now?" Duan Ming asked.
"I drove away early this morning." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "But don't worry, I have already sent someone to block the road, and I will definitely be able to stop it!" At the same time, I will hurry up and pursue them, and I must not let them escape! ”
"Leaving early this morning?" Duan Ming was stunned when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Why do you want to stay so long?" ”
"What did Mr. Duan come up with?" Xing Qianqiu asked.
"It just doesn't feel right." Duan Ming shook his head: "Forget it, old criminal, you better go quickly." ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then left quickly.
Duan Ming sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought carefully.
The familiar smell on the yellow cloth, the strange feeling on Ji Qianfan's corpse, and the official ship that left early this morning.
These things seemed to be intertwined, as if guiding Duan Ming to think in a certain direction.
Soon, it got dark, and Duan Ming had been sitting here all night before he knew it.
Suddenly, Duan Ming's eyes lit up, and the fragrance on the yellow cloth was both familiar and unfamiliar, which meant that Duan Ming should have rarely smelled it, but he had smelled it recently.
When you think about it, it seems to be the scent of some kind of herb.
"Rendetang!" Duan Ming slowly lowered his head and pondered, "Could it be Song Rende?" ”
However, it was getting late at the moment, and Xing Qianqiu was not in the Spiegel Division, so Duan Ming did not rush to Rende Hall, but only waited for the next day to act at dawn.
And at this moment, there are still seven days left!
Early the next morning, Duan Ming rushed directly to Rende Hall.
"Xiao Duan, you're here again." Song Rende saw Duan Ming's arrival and said with a smile: "How is the wound?" ”
"It's no big deal, thank you Doctor Song for your concern." Duan Ming said to Song Rende: "Today I deliberately came to thank Doctor Song for saving his life. ”
"Haha, you're talented, even if you don't have an old man, you won't have any big problems." Song Rende shook his head: "Okay, Xiao Duan, I still have a lot of patients to see, you can take a look casually first." ”
"You're busy." Duan Ming nodded.
After Song Rende left, Duan Ming silently strolled through the Rende Hall, sniffing lightly, trying to find that familiar taste.
However, he had almost traveled all over the Rende Hall, and although the Rende Hall was full of medicinal fragrances, Duan Ming still did not find the same taste.
Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, wasn't it the smell of Mingde Hall?
However, Duan Ming hadn't been to other medicine stores recently, so what else could it smell like?
Saying goodbye to Song Rende, Duan Ming thought about this question as he walked back.
However, at this moment, Duan Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly rushed to the side.
"Dang!" A flash of silver light appeared, cutting through the corners of Duan Ming's clothes and slashing to the ground.
Duan Ming turned over and looked at the position just now, only to see a big man holding a long knife and slashing to the ground.
Dahan saw that the blow did not split Duan Ming, and he was not annoyed, his arm shook, and the long knife waved again.
"Whoosh!" The cold light broke through the air, and it was in front of Duan Ming's eyes in the blink of an eye!
