Su Liuye looked up and saw Qin Lian panting, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright, "A Liu, I found someone who can help us!"
"who?"
Su Liuye stood up excitedly.
As soon as he made a move, a warm big hand hugged his waist, and a man's deep voice sounded behind him. Su Liuye turned around and looked at Chu Yan with worried eyes.
Her heart moved, and her cheeks became hot.
"A Liu, come and see! This is Capt. Yan who has just been transferred from Beijing!"
Qin Lian ran in excitedly, followed by a man in black clothes with a sword at his waist.
The man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and there is a slender scar under the corner of his eye, which makes his whole person look more murderous.
After he entered the door, his sharp eyes scanned around everyone. When he saw Chu Yan, the man's eyes paused, and he didn't know what he thought of. His face showed surprise, "You're not——"
Before he could say anything, Chu Yan's eyes darkened.
Yan Tou immediately stopped talking, turned his attention to Su Liuye, cupped his hands, and said, "This must be Shopkeeper Su from Cyclamen?"
The interaction between the two passed by in a flash. As soon as Su Liuye had doubts, Yan Captou threw the question to her.
"Yes, I am!" She suppressed the doubt in her heart and sat up with the help of Granny Duan.
Because her body was still very weak, just such a movement made her take a few breaths.
"Aliu, are you okay?"
Qin Lian immediately came over to help her. When she learned that Su Liuye had taken the antidote, she was relieved and said quickly, "A Liu, I just went to the Yamen. Many people have already reported the case. The masters of the Yamen have also I was going to bring the government officials over to seal up our store. Fortunately, I met Mr. Yan outside the government office!"
"Today is the first day that Mr. Yan has taken office in Qingzhou County. He promised to help me find out the matter!"
Qin Lian spoke excitedly, but Su Liuye saw a red spot on her feet, and the clothes on her body also had signs of being pulled.
Su Liuye felt a pain in her heart, took her hand and asked, "Lianlian, what's wrong with your face?"
"fine……"
"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 since Qin Lian was not the shopkeeper, it would be most appropriate for her to go there, but she didn't expect...
Su Liuye's heart ached, and her nose felt sore as she lowered her eyes, "Lianlian, I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you. Does your face hurt?"
"You're so stupid! What did you say to me that you're sorry? Have you forgotten? Cyclamen is also my hard work, and I can't watch it being smeared! Even if I know there is someone over there at the Yamen, I will go there!" Qin Lian's gaze Determined.
Su Liuye opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Qin Lian bent down and hugged her gently, "A Liu, just have a good rest! Just leave the restaurant affairs to us."
"Yes, madam, you don't have to worry about the restaurant." Granny Duan was also advising beside her.
Yan Jinglan waited nearby for a while. Seeing that they had almost finished talking, she stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Su, can I ask you a few questions now? I won't delay you for too long."
"Of course, cough."
Su Liuye nodded.
Yan Jinglan didn't waste time and asked directly, "Shopkeeper Su, just now Miss Qin told me that you guessed that the well was poisoned, and the poisoning time was after midnight, right?"
"Yes...ahem."
As soon as I opened my mouth, my throat felt uncomfortable again.
As soon as Su Liuye coughed twice, Chu Yan handed her a cup of warm tea. Su Liuye was stunned for a moment, feeling warm in her heart.
After getting married, she felt more and more that Chu Yan was a considerate person. No matter what she wanted, this man could find it immediately.
Glancing at the man gratefully, she took a sip of tea and continued, "Yes, when it was time to settle the accounts last night, the tea in the teapot happened to be cold, so I went to the kitchen to pour hot water. We The restaurant’s kitchen is staffed every night, and an extra pot of hot water is boiled every night.”
"I drank a cup of tea at night, and when I woke up the next day, I felt bad all over. When Dr. Wu came over, he told me that what was planted in the well was Digustifolia."
"Are you sure?" Yan Jinglan asked.
"I'm absolutely not wrong," Doctor Wu said, "Germany is not a rare thing, and it's not difficult to identify it."
Yan Jinglan frowned, "I'm new to Qingzhou County, but as far as I know, the pharmacies in Qingzhou County don't sell gallbladder grass. If what shopkeeper Su said is right, the person who poisoned it was Zi Shidou, so the gallbladder grass should be It’s been prepared a long time ago.”
"Why?" Qin Lian was surprised.
Granny Duan understood what he meant and explained, "What Yan Captou means is that since there is no Broken Heart Grass in Qingzhou County, then the Broken Heart Grass used by the poisoner must have been prepared in advance. Otherwise, the temporary I can’t find the heartbroken grass either.”
"Yes."
There was no unnecessary expression on Yan Jinglan's face, "The person who poisoned him had already planned it. I wonder if Shopkeeper Su has anyone to suspect?"
"I don't have any suspects at the moment, but the restaurant has been accused of poisoning before. In the end, it was concluded that someone deliberately poisoned it for compensation."
"Miss Qin already told me about this on the way here."
"That's right, A Liu, I told Mr. Yan everything I could think of. But when it comes to suspects, I have one!"
"Who?" Yan Jinglan asked.
"It's that Wu Xiang next door!" Qin Lian looked indignant. "You just said that the heartbroken grass should be prepared in advance. Wu Xiang claimed to be sick and stayed in the room a few days ago. She didn't go out all day and only let her two maids go. Get some medicine from the medicine hall!”
"Who is Wu Xiang?"
"A Liu's cousin, something happened at home, so A Liu took her to the restaurant, but she has an impure mind and is not a good person at first glance!"
"What grudge does she have with Shopkeeper Su?"
"this……"
Qin Lian glanced at Su Liuye's pale face, hesitated for a moment, pulled Yan Jinglan aside, and whispered, "That Wu Xiang is not a good person, she likes Brother Chu! But Brother Chu and A Liu have such a good relationship , naturally he won’t pay attention to her, and she will hold a grudge against A Liu!”
Yan Jinglan looked down at Qin Lian holding his hand. The woman was small and small, which was in sharp contrast to his skin color.
He calmly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice, "Wu Xiang has been in the room during this period and has not gone out?"
"No, I'm sure of this! But I often see her maids Ruilan and Shaolan going out from the back door and coming back soon with a bag of medicine!"
"More!" Qin Lian approached Yan Jinglan again and said in a serious voice, "Yan Captou, go and take a look now. Wu Xiang's room is next to the well!"
