Su Liuye looked up and saw Qin Lian panting, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, "Ah Liu, I have found someone who can help us!" ”

"Who?"

Su Liuye got up excitedly.

As soon as he moved, he was hugged by a warm big hand around his waist, and the man's deep voice sounded behind him. Su Liuye turned around and looked at Shang Chu Yan with a worried look.

Her heart moved, and her cheeks burned with air.

"Aliu, come and see! This is the head of Yan who has just been transferred from Beijing! ”

Qin Lian ran in excitedly, followed by a man dressed in black with a sword at his waist.

The man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes had a slender scar under the corner of his eye, which made the whole person feel more murderous.

As he entered, his sharp gaze scanned the crowd. When he saw Chu Yan, the man's gaze paused, not knowing what he thought, and his face showed surprise, "You're not—"

Before he could speak, Chu Yan's eyes sank.

Yan Zhutou immediately stopped talking, put his attention on Su Liuye, arched his hand, and said, "This must be the shopkeeper Su from the cyclamen?" ”

The interaction between the two was fleeting, and as soon as Su Liuye had some doubts, Yan Zhutou threw the question at her.

"Yes, I am!" She suppressed the doubts in her heart and sat up with the support of Granny Duan.

Because her body was still very weak, just such an action also made her take a few breaths.

"Aliu, are you alright?"

Qin Lian immediately came over to help her, and when she learned that Su Liuye had already taken the antidote, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Ah Liu, I just went to the yamen, and many people have already reported the case, and the masters of the yamen are ready to bring the yamen over to seal up our store." Luckily, I met Yan Zhutou outside the yamen! ”

"Today is the first day that Yan Zhutou came to Qingzhou County to take office, and he promised to help me find out the matter!"

Qin Lian said excitedly, but Su Liuye saw that there was a red patch on her foot, and the clothes on her body also had traces of being pulled.

Su Liuye's heart ached, and she took her hand and asked, "Lianlian, what's wrong with your face?" ”

"It's okay......"

"Did you meet those diners at the Yamen?" Su Liuye immediately thought of this possibility.

In fact, she also thought that the poisoned person had already gone to the yamen to report the case, but no matter what, they had to find someone to go to the yamen. She originally thought that Qin Lian was not the shopkeeper, and it was most suitable for her to go over, but she didn't expect it......

Su Liuye's heart throbbed, and she only felt a sour nose between her eyes, "Lianlian, I'm sorry, I hurt you." Does your face hurt? ”

"You're so stupid! What do you say sorry to me? Have you forgotten, cyclamen is also my heart's work, and I can't watch it be discredited! Even if I knew there were people on the other side of the yamen, I would have gone there! Qin Lian's gaze was resolute.

Su Liuye opened her mouth, and without waiting for her to speak, Qin Lian bent down and hugged her gently, "Ah Liu, you can rest well!" Just leave the matter of the restaurant to us. ”

"Yes, ma'am, you don't have to worry about the restaurant." Granny Duan was also beside her to persuade her.

Yan Jinglan waited beside him for a while, and when he saw that they were almost finished, he stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Su, can I ask you a few questions at the moment?" It won't delay you for too long. ”

"Of course, ahem."

Su Liuye nodded.

Yan Jinglan didn't waste any time, and asked directly, "Shopkeeper Su, Miss Qin told me just now, you guessed that the well was poisoned, and the poisoning time was after the time of the child, right?" ”

"Yes...... Ahem. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, his throat became uncomfortable again.

As soon as Su Liuye coughed twice, Chu Yan handed her a cup of warm tea, Su Liuye was stunned, and her heart was warm.

After getting married, she really felt more and more that Chu Yan was a considerate person, no matter what she wanted, this man could find out immediately.

Glancing at the man gratefully, she took a sip of tea and continued, "Yes, when I settled the accounts last night, the tea in the teapot was cold, so I went to the kitchen to pour hot water. The kitchen of our restaurant is manned every night, and there is an extra pot of hot water every night. ”

"I slept at night and drank a cup of tea, and the next day I woke up feeling sick. Dr. Wu came and told me that the well was covered with broken intestine grass. ”

"Are you sure?" Yan Jinglan asked.

"The old man will never be mistaken." Dr. Wu said, "Broken intestine grass is not a rare thing, and it is not difficult to identify it. ”

Yan Jinglan frowned, "I first came to Qingzhou County, but I know that the pharmacies in Qingzhou County do not sell the Broken Intestine Grass, if what the shopkeeper Su said is right, the person who poisoned the poison is the hand of Zi Shi, then the Broken Intestine Grass should have been prepared a long time ago." ”

"Why?" Qin Lian was unexpected.

Granny Duan understood what he meant, and explained, "Yan Zhutou should mean that since Qingzhou County does not have a broken intestine grass at all, the broken intestine grass used by the poisoned person must have been prepared in advance. Otherwise, you won't be able to find the broken intestine grass temporarily. ”

"Yes."

Yan Jinglan didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, "The person who poisoned him had planned it a long time ago, I don't know if Shopkeeper Su has any suspicions?" ”

"I don't have the object of suspicion for the time being, but the restaurant has also been slandered and poisoned before, and in the end, it came to the conclusion that someone deliberately poisoned it for compensation."

"Miss Qin has already told me about this on the way here."

"That's right, Ah Liu, I told Yan Zhutou everything I could think of. But if you want to talk about the object of suspicion, I have one! ”

"Who?" Yan Jinglan asked.

"It's the Wu Xiang next door!" Qin Lian looked indignant, "You just said that the Broken Intestine Grass should be prepared in advance, then Wu Xiang said that she was sick in the room a few days ago, and she didn't go out all day, only let her two maids go to the medicine hall to grab medicine!" ”

"Who is Wu Xiang?"

"Ah Liu's cousin, something happened at home before, and Ah Liu took her to the restaurant, but her mind is not pure, and she is not a good person at first glance!"

"What grievances does she have with Shopkeeper Su?"

"This ......"

Qin Lian glanced at Su Liuye's pale face, hesitated for a moment, pulled Yan Jinglan to the side, and said in a low voice, "That Wu Xiang is not a good person, she likes Brother Chu!" But Brother Chu has such a good relationship with Ah Liu, so naturally he won't take care of her, so she will hold a grudge against Ah Liu! ”

Yan Jinglan looked down at Qin Lian holding his hand, the woman was already small, which contrasted sharply with his complexion.

He withdrew it quietly, and his voice was low, "Wu Xiang was in the room during this time, didn't he go out?" ”

"No, I'm sure of that! But I can often see her maidservants Ruilan and Shaolan going out through the back door, and after a while, they come back with a packet of medicine! ”

"And!" Qin Lian leaned in front of Yan Jinglan again, and said in a serious voice, "Yan Zhutou, you go and see now, Wu Xiang's room is next to the well!" ”
