The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1434 Clues (2)

The smell is like throwing straw paper that has not been bleached into water to soak it wet, then pick it up and dry it. It is specious to say that it is the smell of grass and trees, but it can only be said to be the paper smell of straw paper.

Lin Tianci was able to recognize it because the yellow paper in his talisman box was not a high-quality rice paper, and the workmanship was not much better than straw paper. It is strange that he could not recognize it after dealing with this thing for a long time.

A dog's nose is indeed more sensitive than a human's. I don't know if it's because of this, but Lin Tianci can easily tell it from the bloody room.

After looking left and right, he couldn't find anything that looked like paper. Immediately, Lin Tianci pushed away the chair that was lying on the side, and stretched his head to look under the table.

As expected, there was indeed a piece of paper left underneath.

That piece of paper is similar to straw paper used to wrap street food such as fried dough sticks. It is square, and it has also been soaked by the blood splattered, and it has already become rough because of it.

Try to take out the paper from under the table, because the coagulated blood clot and the paper itself is very weak, although Lin Tianci was careful, he was still torn into two pieces.

A large piece of red blood splattered all over the paper, and the place where Lin Tianci tore it off happened to be in the center of the paper.

He put the paper on the table, and the starling Mingyu who had been watching said:

"What's the use of this? Isn't it just a piece of scrap paper?"

"The straw paper is indeed not uncommon, but it is not normal for this thing to appear in a brothel."

Lin Tianci didn't explain much, but stared at the blood-stained toilet paper, feeling that something was wrong with it.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tianci moved the straw paper that had been pulled in half to the middle. When no one touched it, the straw paper showed an unnatural curl, as if it had been folded before.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although it has been wet with blood, some creases can still be seen slightly.

Wait, what about creases...

Lin Tianci turned his head and asked the careful Rabbit officer who was beside him:
"Does the victim have any diseases and need to take medicine?"

"This... I don't know much about it."

"Then where is the person in charge of this brothel? Can we ask?"

"Of course, Mr. Lin, wait a moment."

Speaking of the rabbit, he winked at the servant of Dui's yamen, and the latter hurriedly ran to call for someone knowingly.

Then again, a rabbit winks at a tiger...

Forget it, don't care about the details.

After hearing about taking the medicine, Mingyu also came to his senses:

"Mr. Lin, do you suspect that this is a medicine bag?"

"Well, judging by the size, it should be a medicine pack with only one granule."

This is similar to Banlangen granules for colds. It is a convenient medicinal powder. Usually, the medical clinics will prescribe a large packet, that is, the amount of a course of treatment, which is divided into several small packets. The doctor will tell the patient when to take it. and how much to eat.

However, from this clue, I want to determine what the specific medicine is...

That's too nonsense.

A small packet of medicinal powder was not too much, and it fell on the ground in an unfolded shape, indicating that the medicinal powder had been used.What's more, because it was wet with blood, the residual medicine powder sticking to the paper had long since melted. Even if Lin Tianci endured nausea to lick the dry blood on the straw paper, it was impossible for him to taste it.

The life in the brothel seems glamorous, but in fact it is not safe and hygienic. These kiln sisters may suffer from gynecological diseases to varying degrees, and sometimes they have to bear the pain to receive customers in order to make a living.

From this point of view, the medicinal powder is either used to treat diseases, or it is simply a "painkiller" used to temporarily relieve pain, and some people even drink small doses of arsenic in order to make their skin fairer.

Lin Tianci is not a frequent visitor to brothels, and he doesn't know what it is, so it's most reliable to talk to the manager about it.

The yamen servant worked very fast, and not long after, he brought a fox dressed in red and green with heavy make-up...

Damn, I'm still not used to this style of painting.

This should be the procuress of the brothel. She looked at the rabbit who was being careful, and suddenly realized that Brother Lin was not an ordinary person, and her liver trembled somewhat.

"Don't be afraid, tell me the truth, is your girl taking any medicine?"

The fox was a little embarrassed, and the rabbit next to him said impatiently:
"Just say what you want, don't play tricks."

Only then did the bustard speak:
"Young master, we hard-working people will inevitably make some mistakes. We really can't talk about these things."

Indeed, if a brothel owner said that his girl was sick, then why would any guest dare to come.

"I don't care about other things, I just ask this room, that is, does the victim have any diseases?"

"I heard that Shuyi had some stomach pains during this period, and the doctor who has dealings with our brothel prescribed some stomach medicine."

The Shuyi mentioned by the bustard is the victim, and I don't know if it is a stage name or a real name.

It doesn't matter, Lin Tianci asked again:
"Where is the doctor?"

"On the next street, the medical clinic is called Jinzhentang."

This medical clinic seems to be very famous, and the starling Mingyu also said:

"The lady sitting in the hall of this medical clinic gave her the nickname Liu Jinzhen, and she is very famous in acupuncture and moxibustion."

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, the granules and powders used to treat or relieve stomach problems are also normal.

When Lin Tianci found the straw paper used to hold the medicine, he wondered if he had given medicine to the suspect, which led to his sudden madness, but thinking about it carefully, the medicine also depends on the benefits.

This kind of private room in the brothel is basically where the benefactor and the kiln sister are alone. If the drug was really drugged, it must have been drugged by the victim. As a result, the death is so miserable now, what is the plan?
The straw paper would fall under the table. It may be that the victim needed to pick up customers while taking medicine, so he hurriedly cleaned it up. This was just a coincidence, and it was also a clue that had nothing to do with the case.

But Lin Tianci always had a premonition, or intuition, that something was wrong with this ordinary straw paper.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The monks' premonitions are very accurate, especially Lin Tianci, who is talented in practicing divination, but if you want him to say that there is something wrong with this piece of paper, it is really hard to tell.

I asked where the remaining medicine packs were, but I didn't get a reliable answer.

Of course, the old bustard would not ask carefully what kind of medicine the doctor prescribed, and the girls put away these medicine packs by themselves.The yamen servant searched the room for a while but couldn't find the rest of the medicine packs, most likely they had eaten them all.

After all, the medicine was prescribed some time ago, and a course of treatment lasts only a few days. If nothing happened, these two days are just the days when the doctor will come for a follow-up visit.

Immediately Lin Tianci asked about other things, such as whether there was anything unusual about the victim named Shuyi, especially during the time before the crime.

The answers they got were that they didn't find anything wrong. On the day of the crime, it was just a very ordinary reception, and no one thought that this would happen suddenly.

There was nothing wrong with the brothel, so Lin Tianci had no choice but to leave with the blood-stained straw paper and a lot of questions on his mind.

There are many traces left at the scene of the first crime, but there are not many clues. Besides, this is not Lin Tianci's specialty. Judging from the current situation, there is indeed something wrong, but it is definitely not enough to reverse the case.

"Go to prison now?"

Back on the street full of people looking for pleasure, Mingyu approached Lin Tianci and asked.

"No, let's go to the hospital first, I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

After thinking about it, Brother Lin still decided to trust his intuition. After all, he has no case-handling skills, experience and skills, so he really can only rely on intuition in this matter.

The procuress of the brothel said that the medical center was not far away. Lin Tianci walked away from Fireworks and Willow Lane with four legs. Not long after, he saw a shop with the signboard of "Golden Needle Hall". museum.

Busy in the medical hall, a... probably a weasel?
In short, he is a fellow in the medical hall. He saw Lin Tianci enter the door, and asked enthusiastically:
"Are you taking medicine or asking a doctor? It just so happens that Doctor Liu is free today."

Originally, I went to the brothel for a follow-up visit these two days, but something happened, and I couldn't go to the follow-up visit, so I was naturally free.

"Grab the medicine, I have a prescription here."

He took out his own yellow paper and scribbled down the name and dosage of a few medicines.

Of course, the buddy of the medical center did a quick job of grabbing the medicine, and it was wrapped up by Lin Tianci in a short while.

It was like a very common business, Lin Tianci didn't ask anything else directly, took the medicine package and paid the money, and walked out of the clinic with my starling Mingyu.

"My lord, what is the use of the medicine you wrote?"

"That's the big hawthorn pill that invigorates the spleen and appetizers. It's fine to eat as a snack."

Lin Tianci's medical skills are not very good, he just passed the standard of Shenfumen, Long live, and of course buying medicine is not the point.

He opened the medicine package and carefully looked at the toilet paper used to divide it into small packages.

"If this medical center is not the merchant who bought the paper recently, then the straw paper I found in the victim's room should not come from this medical center."

The craft of grass paper is simple, and the paper itself is very rough, which cannot be compared with good rice paper, especially in terms of price.

Therefore, straw paper is often used in places where the demand is high, but there are no other requirements, such as wrapping fried dough sticks and biscuits, and wrapping medicine powder.

The craftsmanship of straw paper is simple and true, but when different craftsmen make it, there will be differences, either because of the problem of raw materials, or because of the gap in craftsmanship, it is impossible to be completely consistent.

After all, at this time, it is still handmade.

"The papyrus found at the scene is darker in color and thinner than the papyrus used in the medical hall. This is definitely not the same batch of papyrus."

That's why Lin Tianci said that if the medical center is not the merchant who bought the paper recently, it means that the two kinds of straw paper are not from the same family, and it also proves that the straw paper found on the spot is definitely not the one prescribed by the medical hall to treat stomach problems. medicine pack.

Think about it this way...

The problem seems to come back around again.

Assuming that the victim drugged the suspect, which resulted in a violent outburst, what was she planning?
If it was not the victim who administered the drug, it is unlikely, because according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, there are only the victim and the suspect in the room, and there is no third party. If it is before entering the room, the drug has been placed on the drink or food. Among them, this straw paper used to pack the medicine powder will not appear in the room.

Although the straw paper is a clue, it seems to make things more troublesome.
