Ye Feng vomited in the corner of the wall, only to feel that he had vomited everything he ate last night.

Zhang Fatzi walked over and looked at him with some pity while gently stroking Ye Feng's back. He had also seen with his own eyes the method of examining the corpse, and of course he understood Ye Feng's feelings at the moment.

It's just that Ye Feng's vomiting at this moment is much more powerful than when he was in Tingtao Villa, I can't imagine that this fourth brother is not only above him in terms of martial arts, but even vomiting is stronger than him, I really admire, he laughed secretly in his heart.

It took a long time for Ye Feng to sit down, and before he could catch his breath, he saw Cheng Nianzhen walking out of the cellar with a normal face and washing his hands in the water tank in the courtyard. She washed slowly and carefully, and it was hard to imagine what such a weak and clean-loving girl had just done to the headless corpse in the cellar.

Tie ruthlessly asked in a deep voice, "What did Miss Cheng discover?"

Cheng Nianzhen lowered his head and replied while washing his hands: "There is nothing suspicious, there is no external injury, no poisoning, the fatal cause of death is a knife in the neck that cut off the head." ”

Tie Wuru was a little disappointed, he was expecting to find some breakthrough in the corpse, but it seemed that it was no fun.

Cheng Nianzhen muttered in a low voice at this time: "However, there is one thing that is very strange...... Speaking of this, she closed her mouth again and again.

Ye Feng suddenly raised his head and asked, "What's so strange?"

Cheng Nianzhen thought for a moment and replied: "There is no meat in the stomach of the corpse, but there is a lot of rice that has not had time to digest, obviously he was eating when he died." ”

Tie Wuru was stunned for a moment: "Sun Dianchen was indeed killed at the banquet, what's so strange about this?"

As soon as he finished asking, he suddenly remembered that Cheng Nianzhen must have dissected the stomach of the headless corpse just now, remembering that scene, he looked at Cheng Nianzhen's ten slender jade fingers that had been washed cleanly, and suddenly his stomach churned, and he immediately understood the reason why Ye Feng vomited there just now.

Ye Feng seemed to have returned to normal, nodded and said to himself, "It's really strange." ”

Zhang Fatzi listened to it in a fog on the side, and didn't understand it at all: "Are you two okay, what's so strange about this?"

Cheng Nianzhen was still washing his hands with his head down, snorting contemptuously, and seemed too lazy to explain to Zhang Fatzi.

Ye Feng shook his head and said to him: "Are you okay, are you okay?" Why don't you understand such a simple thing, the banquet is full of big fish and meat, the guest and the host push the cup and change the lamp, and eat all the wine and meat, but the corpse only has rice in the stomach, where is the wine and meat?"

Zhang Fatzi suddenly realized this, and nodded again and again: "It's very strange." ”

Ye Feng turned his head and asked Cheng Nianzhen, "Why is this?"

Cheng Nianzhen glared: "Who are you asking? I am only responsible for examining the corpse, isn't it your duty to solve the doubts?"

Ye Feng nodded helplessly: "Yes, we should check." ”

He frowned and thought for a while, not understanding, and suddenly turned his head to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen who was standing aside and waiting to serve them, and asked, "Where is all the physical evidence brought back from the crime scene?"

The messenger was standing next to them and listening to them just now, he was already frightened, a little girl would actually fiddle with a dead corpse like this, at this moment he looked at Cheng Nianzhen's eyes like looking at the Yaksha Rakshasa and was standing there in a daze.

After being called by Ye Feng, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "It's in the hut here, please move a few adults." ”

Tie Wuru was holding on to the wall at the moment, suppressing his churning stomach, and waved his hand to signal Ye Feng and them to go first.

Ye Feng glanced at him, understood his current feelings very well, sighed secretly, turned around and walked into the hut with Zhang Fatzi and Cheng Nianzhen.

This hut is really small, and a square table is placed in the center of the house, on which are stacked with some plates and wine utensils, all of which are physical evidence brought back from the scene of Sun Dianchen's murder.

One of the most eye-catching is a yellow golden soup pot. This soup pot is exquisitely made, a lifelike golden dragon is wrapped around the basin body, nine curves are coiled, but the dragon's head is on the basin cover, it is integrated, and the whole body is yellow and clear with a luxurious atmosphere.

You must know that according to the imperial court, only officials with more than one grade can use gold utensils in their mansions, and the dragon-shaped pattern is not allowed to be used by non-royal princes.

It is said that this soup pot is the Han King Zhu Gaoxu's special gift for Sun Dianchen's birthday banquet Eight Immortals across the sea, but unfortunately the soup pot was knocked over when the murder occurred, and it has been spilled clean.

Ye Feng looked around the soup pot with interest for a long time, reached out and carefully uncovered the lid of the pot, and a faint strange fragrance wafted out.

Eight immortals cross the sea, the legend is made of eight kinds of mountain seafood, the materials are precious and rare, so Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi have only heard of it, but they have never seen it.

Could it be that this fragrance is the rumored Eight Immortals crossing the sea? It's a pity that the soup in the soup pot has dried up for too long, and I don't have the opportunity to see the real face.

But Cheng Nianzhen, who was on the side, smelled the fragrance and suddenly frowned, approached the golden soup basin and sniffed it carefully.

Zhang Fatzi smiled: "It smells good, this is the taste of the legendary Eight Immortals crossing the sea." ”

Cheng Nianzhen shook his head: "No, this smell is wrong." ”

Ye Feng's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Nianzhen said slowly: "This fragrance is not only the fragrance of the soup, but also the taste of medicinal herbs. ”

Ye Feng asked, "What herb?"

Cheng Nianzhen said word by word: "Ying Sucao." ”

Ying corn grass, Ye Feng has heard of it, the Tang Dynasty was introduced from the Western Regions, to the Song Dynasty has been widely known, many medical books have recorded, doctors use warbler corn seeds into medicine to treat dysentery, diarrhea and other diseases, is there still this flavor of medicinal materials in the eight immortals across the sea?

Cheng Nianzhen looked at Ye Feng and said: "Most people in the world use warbler millet seeds in medicine, but they don't know that their fruits can be made into drugs after being processed by special methods. ”

"Drug?" Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "I saw it in a travelogue, which records that there is a drug in the border area of Yunnan that can make people hallucinate and be lifelike after eating, is it made of warbler corn?"

Cheng Nianzhen shook his head: "I don't know about this, I need to take some back to check to know what is in this soup." ”

With that, she took out a knife, carefully scraped some of the dried residue powder from the golden soup basin, and carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief.

Drugging Herb Hallucination Ye Feng's heart moved faintly, and he asked: "According to what Yang Wenchang said, every guest at the banquet that night ate this Eight Immortals across the sea, if there was really a drug in it, then could the murder of the powerful ghosts they saw be an illusion?"

Cheng Nianzhen thought about it seriously and shook his head again: "I think it's unlikely, even if the illusion created by the drug is real, the illusion itself comes from the desires and desires of people's hearts, which is different from each other, so there will be all kinds of hallucinations, and it is impossible for so many people to see the hallucinations that are exactly the same." ”

Ye Feng listened to it and thought about it, this really didn't make sense.

Zhang Fatzi also said: "It is recorded in the book that this kind of drug is the holy medicine of a voodoo tribe in Yunnan, and later this tribe was wiped out in the war, and no one survived, and this drug was lost." How could it be in the capital now?"

Ye Feng nodded, maybe he was indeed too careful.

At this time, Tie ruthlessly strode in, and when he saw Cheng Nian really scraping the golden soup pot, he asked with some curiosity, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Fatzi laughed: "We are studying what is in the Eight Immortals in this pot. ”

After speaking, he pulled Ye Feng and Cheng Nianzhen out of the hut, leaving Tie Ruthless alone in the house looking at their backs in a daze, muttering in his heart: "Yang Wenchang was studying how there were two fried kidney slices in a plate of chicken before his death, and now you are here to study what materials are in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, what's wrong with them, why are they suddenly so interested in dishes?"

After the inspection, Ye Feng and his party walked out of the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Except for Tie Wuru, Ye Feng and the three of them all looked thoughtful, while Tie Wuru had great hopes for the examination of the corpse and wanted to find some breakthrough from here, but now he found nothing, which made him worried.

Cheng Nianzhen hurried to go back to the Qianguo Mansion to immediately check the residue obtained in the golden soup pot just now, and said goodbye and took the first step.

Ye Feng knew that in the treasure-like wooden box that Cheng Nianzhen had been carrying, there were many strange and strange things that no one could understand, but these things were like treasures to Cheng Nianzhen.

He looked at Cheng Nianzhen's back, and firmly believed in her heart that she would be able to find out the secret in this residue, and he had a hunch that this secret might be the key to this case.

He believed in this with the same firmness as he believed that another person would bring good news.

He turned his head to look at the end of the long street, where a carriage was galloping towards it, and the large "Hu" character on the side of the carriage reflected dazzling light in the sunlight.

And sure enough, he came.
