Chapter 416 The Seed of Doubt
"That lady... you mean the county magistrate's wife?" Ji Nuanmei asked with a slightly open face.

Ye Han nodded: "When we first met, she had a strange fragrance on her body. At first I thought it was a specially mixed spice, but when she was drinking tea, I accidentally saw a red line on her wrist, and I was sure that she It was poisoned."

"What kind of poison is that? Do you know?" Ji Nuan couldn't help asking.

Ye Hanshi's voice was deep: "The body has a strange fragrance, red lines appear on the wrists, and the body is weak. I feel drowsy all day long, and it is a bit like the poison of 'drunk beauty'. This is a chronic poison that will be consumed slowly. The longer a person's energy is poisoned, the weaker his body will be. As short as two years, as long as five years, the poisoned person will undoubtedly die. And the death is no different from ordinary illness, it is difficult for people to find the problem."

"How could this be?" Ji Nuan murmured, thinking of that beautiful lady, she couldn't help frowning:

"Such a beautiful beauty, someone is willing to poison her, what kind of heart is there!"

Ye Han looked slightly sideways at Ji Nuan's words, seeing the girl's righteous indignation, the boy's expression became a little complicated.

Ji Nuan looked up: "The one who will poison the county magistrate's wife must be the people around her. Little brother, who do you think will do it?"

The girl's clear and crystal eyes suddenly looked over, Ye Han didn't notice for a moment, his heart skipped two beats.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't avoid it: "I can't think of it for the time being, but the poison of 'drunken beauty' will only take effect if it is injected into the diet. Just look into the daily diet of the county magistrate's wife." , should be able to find the murderer."

Ji Nuan's eyes lit up: "Little brother, you are so smart!"

Ye Hanshi didn't respond, but suddenly asked something irrelevant: "Do you still remember why we chose 'You Fenglai'?"

"Huh?" Ji Nuan was stunned for a moment, "Have you forgotten? Didn't we go because 'Youfenglai' is the biggest and best inn in Fancheng?"

"Besides, what else did the man say at the time, do you remember?"

Ye Hanshi's words made Ji Nuan quiet for a moment, and then suddenly understood what he wanted to say:

"You mean that person said that the daughter of the owner of 'You Fenglai' married the county magistrate... Ah. The boss' daughter is the county magistrate's wife?"

Ji Nuan screamed and asked in surprise, "Could it be related to the county magistrate's wife's family?"

Ye Han shook his head: "No one knows if there is any relationship between the two before investigating."

He had just finished speaking when he saw a look of disappointment in the girl's eyes, and couldn't help but say, "But you don't need to be disappointed, you will be kidnapped from 'You Fenglai', the young master of 'You Fenglai'—the county magistrate's wife It is also suffering from a strange poison, no matter where you look at it, this 'Youfenglai' is a bit strange, we will find out from it, it must be..."

"Not only!"

Ji Nuan suddenly said: "Actually, something happened after you left yesterday. There was a woman at the door of 'Youfenglai', saying that her daughter was missing. They seem to have lived there too. .”

Ji Nuan recalled, and told Ye Hanshi what he saw yesterday.

Ye Hanshi didn't expect such a thing to happen, but he was a little surprised: "Where did that woman go after that, do you know? Maybe we can find out from her."

"I don't know," Ji Nuan shook her head, "After learning that disappearances frequently occurred in the city recently, I was a little scared, so I went back to the room early, so I don't know where she went after that."

Hearing Ji Nuan talking about being scared, Ye Han wanted to comfort her, but when he said it, he turned into a question: "You said you know that there are frequent cases of disappearances in the city recently?"

"Yeah, the waiter in the store told me." Seeing that the little brother seemed to be concerned, Ji Nuan repeated what he heard from the waiter yesterday:
"...He said that there have been several missing girls in the city recently. The government has been looking for them, but there are no clues. Let me pay attention to safety and don't go out alone."

Ji Nuan said stop here, and looked at Ye Han with some doubts: "Little brother, what's the problem?"

Ye Han lowered his head and thought about something, and after a while he raised his head under the girl's nervous gaze:

"There are indeed some problems. Regarding the case of the missing girl, the county magistrate seems to be hiding something."

"Huh?" Ji Nuan was really stunned this time, she really didn't expect this to have anything to do with County Magistrate Du.

Ye Hanshi told Ji Nuan what happened in the courtyard in the afternoon. When he said that the stone room was full of dead children, the girl was obviously frightened and hugged his arm involuntarily.

Afraid of scaring her again, he couldn't help but stop halfway through his speech: "I'll investigate this case, you..."

"No," Ji Nuan interrupted him, although she felt her scalp tingle when she thought about it, but she didn't have the slightest intention to escape: "I'm fine, little brother, you continue to talk, I'm not afraid."

She said trying to show him a smile, but the smile was uglier than crying.

Ye Han saw it in his eyes, and felt a little distressed for no reason. He sighed lightly, but he didn't intend to persuade him anymore, but continued:
"If according to what you said, the disappearance of the girl has already alarmed the common people. Then the magistrate Du, as the parent officer, will never be unaware. But until many corpses were found in the secret room, he never mentioned anything related to the disappearance. matters related to the case. It makes me feel that he seems to be avoiding it on purpose. "

"Maybe it's just that he doesn't want outsiders to discover his incompetence? After all, there have been several disappearances in a row, but the government has not found the murderer. He is embarrassed to say it?" Ji Nuan guessed.

"It doesn't look like that," Ye Han shook his head: "It's understandable if you don't mention it earlier, but later on your cousin-in-law has already revealed his identity as a supervisor, and he didn't mention it, so something is wrong."

"My cousin..."

When mentioning Chi Yinghan, Ji Nuan couldn't help wrinkling her nose, she no longer looked good at that fierce cousin-in-law.

"I almost forgot," she looked up. "Should we tell her about the poisoning of the county magistrate's wife? What if..."

"Don't be in a hurry," Ye Han pressed down on her: "The poison of drunken beauty does not lie in a day or two. Before you are sure about the situation, it is better not to startle the snake."

"But... what if something happens in the past few days?"

Ji Nuan likes beauties, and she couldn't bear to think that the county magistrate's wife would continue to take poison.

She couldn't help but looked at the young man beside her, and pleaded: "Little brother, is there anything you can do to help her?"

Fearing that the young man would not like it, she explained: "I am not in good health, so I know what it feels like to be sick. The county magistrate's wife looks pretty good, but I just feel..."

"Yes," Ye Han said, his voice was unexpectedly calm.
