In full view of everyone, Han Ping stabbed himself to death in front of everyone.
Before everyone could feel relieved, Lu Anran's cool voice sounded: "This is not cinnabar."
Just as Yun Qi was about to speak, Lu Anran raised his head again: "Go to the lobby." He didn't have time to explain, so he walked quickly inside.
"Watch the body." Yun Qi said to Guanyue and hurriedly followed Lu Anran's footsteps.
Su Ji was confused and didn't understand what the two men were making.
Wu Fang stood guard at the door of the lobby. Lu Anran lowered his head and said something to her. She nodded and walked towards the townhouse.
Su Ji watched Lu Anran circling in the lobby. She ignored the tables and chairs scattered around and went to the corners of the wall. Sometimes she would pull the cobwebs and look at them carefully for a moment, "What is she..." What is she doing?
Although Yun Qi didn't know, but based on his understanding of Lu Anran, he said leisurely: "I guess he is looking for evidence."
"Evidence? Spider web?"
Yun Qi squinted at him: "She's superficial and doesn't understand anything."
Su Ji: "..."
Lu Anran stopped suddenly, and Yunqi leaned over: "Have you found it?"
There was a bench in front of me that was tilted east to west, with its corner leaning against the wall, and seemed to be on the verge of tipping over.
Su Ji opened his eyes and didn't see anything special about this bench, except that it was really a bit broken.
However, Lu Anran reached out and moved it away without looking. He squatted down, supported his fingers with deerskin gloves on the stone slab, leaned over, pulled out a hairpin from his head, and carefully placed it between the two stone slabs. Flick the dust.
The light gray dust on the silk handkerchief is like a few crumbs, which can be blown away without a trace with a gentle breath, turning into ashes.
"When I entered the yard just now, I smelled the smell of burnt fragrant wood." It was very light. If Lu Anran's nose was not naturally sensitive, others would not have noticed it.
Yun Qi pointed the jade bone fan in Lu Anran's palm, "Is it because of it?"
Lu Anran turned to look at him, "Of the three deceased people in front of us, Liu Changhe was the one we rushed to contact the fastest, but half an hour had passed since the nursing home ran from the other courtyard to the Liu Mansion, and then reported back to the other courtyard. And when Wu Zuo arrives, the first thing he pays attention to is the fatal injuries. After the whole body examination is completed, and finally he looks at the mark of the divine fox, it will take even longer."
Yunqi's mind was spinning rapidly, "We only think that the mark of the divine fox is just someone's trick, but in fact it is not a simple mark."
"Han Ping committed suicide in front of us, but it also gave us the opportunity to get in touch with the body in the shortest possible time." Lu Anran said: "Because of the strange smell, when Han Ping died, I suddenly thought of a medicine."
Yunqi's peach-blossom eyes raised, and his eyes moved slightly: "Is it related to the fact that the mark you mentioned is not cinnabar?"
"Well, it's both vermilion, but it's actually a concoction extracted from the roots of a grass called rhubarb. It can stop bleeding and eliminate phlegm when used alone. But once it's mixed with the spices refined from longli, it can cause... Hallucinations during periods of confusion."
Su Ji asked: "If this is the case, can such spice ash be found in the room where Liu Changhe died?"
Lu Anran shook his head: "Although we can't be sure, we can tell from the other three corpses that the smell of spices will dissipate in a short time, and this kind of ashes is too much like dust. Just point it in a certain corner, and it will be done." Without anyone noticing, no one would suspect that there is a speck of dust on the ground.”
"But each of them died in a different manner. Can hallucinations be controlled?"
"I'm only telling you what I know." Lu Anran's expression said, "Why else would you ask the criminal department?" This made Su Ji feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, she added compassionately: "But this kind of grinding medicine Juicy grass can only survive in red soil."
Su Ji looked at Yun Qi with deep eyes: "Southwestern region."
Yun Qi thought for a moment, "Since it needs to be integrated with the mark of the divine fox on the deceased, and the incense only lasts for a short time, does it mean that you have to be very close to the deceased when lighting incense?"
Su Ji high-fived: "Yes, I will take the remaining people back for questioning. The girls around Jin Yu'e and Xianglan are also suspected."
Wu Fang came in from outside and said, "Someone ran away and died in the back street."
—
Liu Xiangzhi listened to the whole story and said thoughtfully: "So, there is more than one person with ulterior motives in the Liu Family Nursing Home."
Yun Qi skillfully turned the jade bone fan in a circle with two fingers and said casually: "Master Prime Minister, you are right. Mr. Liu's family has a strict family tradition, but he still can't guard against those who are young."
"Han Ping has been in the Liu family for more than ten years..." Liu Xiangzhi sighed.
Yun Qi stabbed him without hesitation: "Because of this, he won the trust of the Liu Family Master, and he used this to get closer to Liu Changhe."
Han Ping killed Liu Changhe, and another nurse attacked Han Ping again, but both of them are now dead.
"The nurse who ran away and died in the back street was called Yu Song. He had a good relationship with everyone. He didn't show any special closeness or hatred to Han Ping on weekdays. He was just an ordinary colleague who lived and ate together."
At this point, Su Ji changed the topic, "But these two people have one thing in common. They are all single, have no family, and don't have many friends."
Yun Qi put his forehead with his hands and looked troubled, "It's difficult to handle." Suddenly he remembered something, "Sir, do you think there is anyone like this in your Liu family? Why don't you arrest them together and bring them to the Criminal Division for interrogation?"
Su Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sir, please stop joking."
"I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go." Yun raised his thumb and opened the jade bone fan with a swipe. He looked lazy and couldn't tell whether his words were true or false.
Liu Xiangzhi seemed not to have heard, but said: "I thought of something. The Liu family's ancestral motto is not to leave traces on the body at will. The mark of Xiaoli is very strange."
Yun Qi said indifferently: "Young people are bold in style and dare to compete with the world. They are just a mark."
"No." Liu Xiangzhi affirmed: "This is the Liu family's family rule. No one will break it unless they would rather be expelled from the clan."
Su Ji was confused: "It's not that simple to leave a mark. You have to draw a picture first, and then use a tattoo pen. Logically speaking, I can't be unaware of it. Even if someone knocked me unconscious and hard-marked, he should have discovered it when he was washing."
There were so many questions that no one could answer them for a while, so they could only be left for investigation.

When Liu Xiangzhi left the other hospital, Lu Anran was standing outside talking to Wu Fang. He walked over and said: "Husband, doctors practice medicine with virtue. There is no high or low, no pure or bad. There is no smooth road or hard road. It does not mean that you have gained something, but you are seeking to be worthy of your heart. Your way is like a doctor. If a person performs positive virtues, he will be rewarded by himself; if a person performs negative virtues, ghosts and gods will reward him. Although the path is different, the destination is the same."
Lu Anran saluted and replied: "Remember the Prime Minister's kind words, but know and do good things, the way of heaven is very clear."
Liu Xiangzhi smiled easily, and then asked people to help the weak old Mrs. Liu back to his house.
Lu Anran frowned lightly, and Liu Xiangzhi's behavior became more cordial, which did not reduce the suspicion in her heart at all.
"My lord, do you think your attitude towards Prime Minister Liu is strange?" Yun Qi's leisurely voice came from the side.
Lu Anran looked back, "What's so strange?"
"There is a little bit of vigilance, curiosity, and admiration." Yun Qi stretched out a finger and waved it, "Don't deny it in a hurry. For example, just now, it was clearly a poem about the future, but after you disrupted and reorganized it, , it always seems to imply other meanings?”
Lu Anran did not deny the first two, but as for Ru Mu, "I didn't find out."
"You have both eyes on him, and you still say no?" Yun Qi clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect you to like older people."
The two had known each other for a long time and knew their temperaments. Lu Anran thought about it briefly and said cautiously: "It's because of one person."
Yun Qi looked at her expression and said, "When we were at Liu Mansion, you said we would talk about it when we had time?"
"Yes." Lu Anran raised her head, and March apricot blossoms flew all over the city, falling on her eyebrows, and teasing her calm face, "I studied medicine because of him."
From the appearance of the old man to his sudden disappearance, Yun Qi listened and said, "Do you suspect that he was secretly abducted by people sent by Prime Minister Liu?"
"He left a Liu Family badge." That's it.

The next day, Mo Yan handed a letter from Fei Ge to Yun Qi. Yun Qi read it and handed it to Su Ji.
The more Su Ji watched, the more shocked he became, "Is this the fundamental reason why Jin Yu'e became rich?"
Yun Qi: "Among the men Jin Yu'e often deals with, there is the foreign businessman Xiang Lan mentioned."
"It's a coincidence. It was originally to arrest those people as evidence of their crimes, but I didn't intend to tie Jin Yu'e together. Now that she is dead again, it will be difficult to handle."
"Isn't it a coincidence?"
Su Ji was stunned, grabbed the paper and slapped it on the table, "Okay, after going in such a big circle, it turns out that my hand has reached the royal capital."
Yunqi tapped his fingers lightly and said slowly: "It's just a guess. You'd better check it at your own pace. I'm afraid I have to make another trip to the southwest."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside reported: "Qi Shen is here."
Qi Shang has the style of a military general. He is decisive in his conduct and never sloppy, so he goes straight to the topic, "The rogues are rioting, and the Holy Master asked Prince Yun and I to go to the southwest screen to show up."
Yun Qi leaned lazily, raised one eyelid, and said without interest: "Qi Shen is leading the arrest of the bandits. I, my weak son, are you going to be a hostage there?"
The corner of Qi Shang's mouth twitched, "I don't know what the holy mandate is."
Yun Qi's heart was as clear as a mirror. The emperor's move was obviously to suppress the bandits, but in fact it was for the unfinished business last time. However, they just had some clues here. The emperor had plans earlier. Obviously, he could not get the news as quickly as They are slow.
After Qi Shang left, Yun Qi said with emotion: "Why do we need to mention the punishment department if you are so powerful?"
Su Ji pointed upward, and Yun Qi laughed lightly: "Is your finger broken?"
Su Ji: "What's up there?"
"Rooftop." He waved his fan and left calmly.
Su Ji couldn't help but rolled his eyes and muttered to himself: "God's fucking roof, that's the sky, and there's a sky covering your head!"
Mo Yu endured it and sprayed saliva on Su Ji's face, making Su Ji even more speechless.
——
In the palace, the emperor and Liu Xiangzhi played chess face to face.
The emperor settled the black seed in his hand and said: "Your brother only left this heir, and now he is gone."
