Extraordinary little Shennong

Chapter 396 Lock down the suspect

This fish had been tested when he brought it in just now, and it was full of vitality.If there is really a problem with spicy strips, this fish can definitely test it out.

After a while, there seemed to be something wrong with the fish, and it wanted to jump out of the wooden basin, but Murong Feng didn't give it a chance, and directly set up a small barrier on the water surface.

Seeing that he couldn't jump out of the water, Yu was desperately jumping in the water. After a while, it seemed that he had no strength left. Murong Feng even saw a hint of pleading in Yu's eyes.

It seemed to be begging him to save it, Murong Feng was not that kind, it would have been a dish for immortals, and it would die sooner or later.

After a while, the fish finally stopped any struggle and floated on the water without moving, ending its short life.

"It's dead?" Chun Xin asked in a low voice. In fact, she knew the answer clearly, but all this shocked her so much that she couldn't recover for a while.

"Yeah, he's dead." Murong Feng replied calmly.

Chun Xin suddenly thumped and fell to her knees, "Gongshi, I don't know what's going on. I have absolutely no intention of harming you! My loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

"Well, I believe you!" Murong Feng said softly, signaling for Chunxin to get up.

If he really doubted Chun Xin, it would be impossible to save her from the gate of hell by expending ordinary cultivation.However, he didn't want to tell Chun Xin about this.

Chun Xin naturally didn't know what Murong Feng had lost in order to save her life. Murong Feng didn't doubt her, her eyes were already moist with gratitude, "Thank you, sir, for believing in me."

"Think about it carefully, where did you buy these small fish, and did you meet any suspicious people on the way?"

When Chunxin heard Murong Feng's inspiration, she immediately tilted her head and fell into deep thought. Because she was very happy today, she didn't pay too much attention to the outside world. She really didn't know if she encountered any suspicious people.

Seeing that Chun Xin remained silent for a while, Murong Feng patiently explained, "Where did you buy this fish, is she suspicious? Did you know her before?"

Hearing that Murong Feng was suspicious of the old woman, Chun Xin quickly waved her hand to defend the old woman, "It should have nothing to do with the old woman. I bought fish from her before, and nothing like this happened. The old woman is a very nice person, although she doesn't like to laugh, but There's never a shortage of money."

Seeing that Chunxin was so protective of the old fish seller, Murong Feng was also embarrassed to keep talking about her, "Then think about it carefully, did you have any physical collisions with anyone on the way back, for example, she accidentally bumped into someone?" Hit you or something?"

Chun Xin shook her head, her way back was very smooth, and nothing like what Murong Feng said happened.

Murong Feng frowned involuntarily, according to his inference, the most likely thing was that there was something wrong with the fish, but Chun Xin said that nothing unusual happened.Could it be that it is not a fish problem, what is that problem.

In short, there is a problem with this dish. If the problem of fish is excluded, then only the spicy strips themselves and other seasonings are left.

Seeing that Murong Feng's eyes were fixed on the place where she was making spicy strips, Chunxin's face flushed red, even though Murong Feng said he didn't doubt her.But his gaze at this moment seemed to slap her in the face.

Chun Xin carefully explained, "I really didn't poison you!"

"I know." Murong Feng replied calmly as before.

Believing why she had to look at her kitchen, Chun Xin was full of grievances.

"By the way, did you buy any other special seasonings for this new flavor of spicy strips?"

After Murong Feng asked, Chun Xin remembered that in order to cover up the fishy smell of some small fish, she had bought a special spice, and the special fragrance of that spice could cover up some of the fishy smell.

"I seem to have bought it."

"Is there any left, show me quickly!"

Chun Xin pointed to a small corner of the kitchen, where there were still a few slices of herbs left in a small basket, "It's right here, basically all of them are used up."

Murong Feng didn't reach out to take it directly, but picked up the small basket and observed it carefully. He had seen this kind of herb before, and he always felt that this kind of herb was a bit weird.

Murong picked up a pair of chopsticks from the side, picked up a piece, and stood up to the light.

The vanilla leaves seem to have been soaked by something, so there is something wrong with the texture inside.

"Chunxin, go to the kitchen and ask for a fish!"

As soon as Chun Xin heard it, she knew that Murong Feng was going to test again.Soon a fish was brought from the kitchen, which was also carried in a wooden basin.

The steward of the kitchen is very puzzled, what's wrong with today's public knowledge, why do you always ask the kitchen for fish?Is the new flavor of spicy strips related to fish?Why is public knowledge so concerned about La Tiao?

The kitchen steward was full of doubts and no one could answer him, because all the immortals didn't know what the two of them were doing in that small house.

Murong Feng threw the remaining pieces of vanilla in the small basket into the wooden basin.

When the fish saw a few leaves floating on the water, they were not interested at all.Still leisurely swimming in the water.

Murong Feng clearly saw that these leaves emitted some green filaments, which dissolved in the water, and the fish didn't have much reaction.

Murong Feng was a little disappointed. Could it be that his judgment was wrong?The problem is not with this vanilla?
Just when Murong Feng was about to give up, the fish suddenly twitched, unlike the fish just now that was still jumping desperately, it twitched a few times and then died immediately.

"Chunxin, haven't you washed these vanilla leaves?"

"Well, they were a few leaves stuck to the basket, and I left them alone."

Murong Feng suddenly understood that before Chunxin used vanilla as seasoning, she would definitely wash it first, so that some of the toxicity on the surface of those herbs would disappear with the water.

So the previous fish, after eating those foods, could still dance for a while before dying.As for this fish, the poison dissolved in the water is obviously deeper, so it didn't have time to jump, the blood in the internal organs was directly invaded by the poison, and it died after only convulsing a few times.

"So the problem is with the vanilla, right?" Chun Xin asked cautiously.

"Yes, you must tell me now, where did you get these herbs?"

Chunxin thought for a while and replied, "I bought it from a young fairy. To be honest, that fairy should be a beauty. Unfortunately, she is covered with a veil. I can't see clearly, so I can only vaguely guess. She rarely comes to the fair." market, and the sales of this vanilla are not very good, after all, it is just a seasoning."

"How many times have you seen her?"

Chun Xin thought for a while, and seriously replied, "Once, because I rarely go to the market to buy ingredients, so I don't know if she is there often."
