Ke Hanxue paused, and continued: "Village chief, patriarch, I have a suggestion, that is to show Dr. Hao what it is, and then go to a few drugstores in the town to ask. Anyone who has bought this medicine at the pharmacy will know who the murderer is?"

Even if this was done by a fool, there is not enough evidence at present. Only when strong evidence is found can he be sued to the government.

"But...the pharmacy in the town is full of people coming and going every day, can the boss remember who bought it?" the village chief hesitated.

"Village chief, this poison is not an ordinary medicine. I think the boss will be more impressed. Even if you don't recognize this person, you can definitely remember his face." Ke Hanxue also wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible. .

At first, she thought that the person who was collaborating with Ke Yushi must be Zhang Fuyu, because of Ke Yushi's behavior these days, it is not difficult to guess that she often goes out to have trysts with Zhang Fuyu.

If Ke Yushi complained in front of Zhang Fuyu about being bullied by Ke's family, it would not be too much for Zhang Fuyu to stand up for Ke Yushi.

But Ke Hanxue thought about it, and felt that this possibility was unlikely.

There are so many women around Zhang Fuyu, except for the main wife, which concubine is not younger and more beautiful than Ke Yushi, can he take this risk for someone else's woman?
After listening to Ke Hanxue's analysis, the village head looked at the two patriarchs and saw that they also agreed with Ke Hanxue's suggestion, so he ordered Ke Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, you go and invite Doctor Hao now."

"Village Chief, it's still dark..."

"What time is it? It doesn't matter whether it's dawn or not!" The village chief shouted angrily. If this matter is not resolved quickly, they can't rest assured.

It's okay to say that it was done by a fool, but if the villagers of Shuihe Village did it, he, the village chief, might have done it too.

Ke Shuisheng was reprimanded by the village head, and he asked Dr. Hao to go.

Dr. Hao's home is not very far from Ke's, and Ke Shuisheng invited Dr. Hao here in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Doctor Hao, hurry up and see what kind of poison this is?" The village head said impatiently as soon as Doctor Hao entered the hall.

Ke Shuisheng had just told Dr. Hao the whole story. After hearing what the village chief said, Dr. Hao didn't say much. He picked up the cloth and put it under his nose to smell it, and then asked Ke Hanxue to marry a twig. Gently pick the powder.

Dr. Hao carefully inspected it for a while, then frowned and said shamefully: "Village chief, patriarch, please forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't find out what kind of poison it is."

"What, you don't know?" The village chief suddenly stood up and looked at Dr. Hao, obviously not expecting this result.

Ke Hanxue was also taken aback, and then thought that Dr. Hao is just a barefoot doctor, how could he recognize all medicines.

"Village chief, this old man only knows how to treat minor ailments such as typhoid fever or bruises and sprains, and some common herbal medicines. It's really difficult for me to test the medicine." Dr. Hao said shyly.

"Then what should we do now?" the village head asked in distress.

"The village head, Dr. Hao doesn't know this medicine, so I can only take it to the pharmacy in the town tomorrow to ask about it." Ke Hanxue pondered.

"At this point, it's the only way to go." Although the village chief didn't want to bring this matter to the town, he couldn't let it go if the murderer didn't catch him.

"By the way, there is another person, maybe he can identify the powder!" Dr. Hao said suddenly with bright eyes.

"Who?" The village chief asked happily.

"Ge Yunzhang!"

"Mr. Ge?" The village head asked uncertainly: "Mr. Hao, are you sure Mr. Ge can really identify this medicine powder?"

"Should be able to!"

"Shuisheng, what are you waiting for, go and invite Mr. Ge here." The village chief drove Ke Shuisheng out with a wave of his hand.

After such a toss, it was almost dawn when Ge Yunzhang came to Ke's house.

Ge Yunzhang entered the hall, subconsciously glanced at Ke Hanxue first, then went to the village head and the two patriarchs, gave them a junior salute, and nodded to Dr. Hao.

"Ge Gongzi, I heard from Dr. Hao that you know the medicine, please help me find out what kind of poison it is." The village chief pointed to the cloth and medicine powder on the table and said.

Like Dr. Hao, Ge Yunzhang first put the medicine under his nose and smelled it, and then took the powder under the oil lamp to look carefully.

After a while, Ge Yunzhang smiled and said firmly: "This is not some deadly poison!"

"Ah?" The village head and others looked at Ge Yunzhang in surprise.

Ke Hanxue frowned, and stared at Ge Yunzhang. Does he really understand or pretend?
If it wasn't poison, and if the murderer wasn't a fool, would it be necessary for him to go to such lengths to sneak into the house in the middle of the night?

As soon as Ge Yunzhang raised his head, he met Ke Hanxue's suspicious eyes. He pulled the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "The name of this medicine powder is half-step paralysis. Although half-step paralysis is not a fatal poison, once you eat this The medicine will immediately make the whole body weak, unable to walk half a step, and let people do whatever they want!"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when Ge Yunzhang said this, his eyes lightly passed over Ke Hanxue's body.

Ke Hanxue gritted her teeth angrily. What kind of eyes does this guy have? Does he think she got the medicine?

However, Ke Hanxue obviously thought too much, and Ge Yunzhang didn't mean that at all.

He just happened to remember that Ke Hanxue was concentrating on watching Zhang Fuyu and Ke Yushi's affair by the river that evening, and wanted to laugh at her, but Ke Hanxue would be wrong.

"Mr. Ge, what will happen if this medicine is put on the cow?" Ke Shuisheng asked impatiently. If the cow can't walk, then he won't be able to pull the cart!

"It depends on the dose. If an ordinary person eats one gram, they will feel weak all over the body. If it is a cow, it must be at least three times the dose of a human to see the effect." Ge Yunzhang said.

"Ge Gongzi, can I trouble you to check if my cattle have been drugged?" Ke Shuisheng asked nervously.

"can."

As Ge Yunzhang said, he followed Ke Shuisheng to the courtyard, and the others followed.

Ge Yunzhang first patted the cow's buttocks, and when he saw the cow, he turned around and snorted, as if he was very irritable.

Ge Yunzhang didn't check again, he smiled and said: "Uncle Shuisheng, this cow is fine, it's just that I was scared."

"Ge Gongzi, since you know this medicine, do you know which pharmacy in this town sells this medicine?" The village chief asked anxiously.

"Village chief, as far as I know, there are no drugstores that sell half-step paralysis and love potions. Only some people with bad intentions will have this kind of medicine at home." Ge Yunzhang explained: "However, I have a little I don't know, these medicines are all obtained through special channels, they are very precious and expensive, so how could they be willing to use them on a cow?"
