Chapter 88 Humanoid Police Dog
When Xia Chu was silently melancholy about her fate, Jiang Xiyuan sat across from her and looked at her quietly, feeling a little lost in ecstasy.He remembered how he looked when he saw Chu Xia for the first time, also in the Planting Flower Pavilion, Xia Chu was dressed in coarse clothes, his nose and cheeks were flushed by the cold wind, and he stubbornly wanted to seek justice for his friend.

Come to think of it, he himself really knows people, digging out such a treasure from the pile of handymen, he is smart and cunning but really simple and cute.Ever since he became Jing Zhaoyin and Xia Chu was a headhunter, he felt that life was full of fun.When I was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I really didn't want to go if I could not go. How can I be as motivated as I am now!After opening his eyes and getting up, he wanted to rush to the government office.

He is so picky!Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyuan really wished he could get out of his own body and pat himself on the shoulder, saying, "You did a great job!"

When Jiuxiang brought people in with wine and dishes, he saw Jiang Xiyuan's smirk at Chu Xia, he was a little shocked, and then he pursed his lips and smiled: "My lord, let's eat."

After Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu sat down, Jiuxiang poured the pot of plum wine for them, and retreated out tactfully.Jiang Xiyuan raised his glass and raised his hand to touch Xia Chu. Xia Chu looked sideways at Jiang Xiyuan's smile, and couldn't help but wonder, "Master, your mood changes so quickly! You were so unhappy just now, why now?" Is it so sweet to laugh?"

"Hmph, I'm an adult, how can I be stagnant with you." Jiang Xiyuan raised his head and drank the wine, "What were you thinking just now? So preoccupied?"

Xia Chu also took a sip of wine, lowered his eyes and thought for a while and asked him: "My lord, do you believe in fate?"

"how?"

"Do you think fate really exists?" Xia Chu raised his head, looked at Jiang Xiyuan, who had a dazed and dignified expression but didn't know how to speak, and couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, my lord, you just have a good fate, and you don't care about everything." Don't think about it."

"What's this called?" After Jiang Xiyuan finished speaking, he thought about it silently, and felt that what Xia Chu said was not unreasonable.

It is always those who are ill-fated who feel fate, and those who are still unable to ask for it after hard work will always be attributed to fate.Destiny, this word seems to bring a little bit of negativity and helplessness.

He didn't think about it.The reason why I didn't think about it was really because my life was good.He got what he asked for in his life, everything was so natural.

The plum wine has a slight sweetness and a bit of refreshing sourness. Compared with the pot of wine that I drank at noon, it is much more palatable.Xia Chu sipped slowly, fearing that he would drink too much.

Maybe it was because the wine was too delicious, or maybe it was because I had something on my mind, but in the end, Chu Xia was still a little drunk.Back home, Xia Chu took out her wallet, and by the dim candlelight, gently wiped her relative's face with her fingers.

They laughed and stayed there forever.In the vast world, only myself is left alone, facing the unknown and long life.

The next morning, Xia Chu first went to the yamen Yingmao to arrange work.After Jiang Xiyuan arrived, he called Xu Lu, and the three of them went to Yongpingfang together.

At the entrance of the alley in Guangji Hall, Jiang Xiyuan raised his head and sniffed the smell in the air, "There is indeed something wrong."

Xu Lu also nodded, "It smells like a dead body. The smell of medicinal materials should not be like this. But could there be cats and dogs dead in the corner?"

"It's not impossible. But this alley is not barren at all, and it's quite clean. If there is such a smell in the barren house, it's probably a dead cat or dog." Jiang Xiyuan said.

Xia Chu disagreed, "If it's a deserted house, it's even more important to see if anyone is dead. But if it's really a deserted house, it's easy to deal with, just go in directly."

The three of them walked slowly into the alley, sniffing and smelling while walking.Xia Chu wanted to laugh a little, thinking they were like three police dogs.All the way to a double door, the three stopped.

"It seems that the smell here is stronger."

Xia Chu peeked through the crack of the door, "No one. What's inside this door?"

Jiang Xiyuan lifted the hem of his long gown, jumped up, touched the hitching post by the wall, and stood lightly and steadily on the edge of the wall.

Xia Chu was dumbfounded, and said to Xu Lu angrily after a while, "Don't praise me for my skills in the future."

Xu Lu looked at Jiang Xiyuan and nodded.

When Jiang Xiyuan jumped down from the wall, Xia Chu firmly held out his thumb to him, "Your Excellency is hiding everything, it was a subordinate who made a mistake in the past."

Jiang Xiyuan laughed, and patted Xia Chu's hand aside, "Okay, don't tell me you won't make mistakes in the future?"

"Well, my lord understands me." Xia Chu chuckled, and asked seriously, "Did you see anything on the wall?"

"This should be the backyard of Guangji Hall." Jiang Xiyuan turned and walked out of the alley, "Go to Guangji Hall and ask."

Guangjitang is a relatively large pharmacy in Xijing, with a complete range of medicines than other stores.The owner's surname is Yu, and his ancestor was an imperial physician. Later, after he came out of the palace, he used his connections to start a business of medicinal materials. After three generations, the business has been doing well, and the family has abandoned medicine to go into business.The Yu family has a Zhuangzi in the south of the city, called Baicaozhuang, which has about 80 mu of fertile land, and mainly grows some medicinal materials suitable for the climate of Xijing.

The three of them arrived at the front of Guangji Hall, which meant that the door had just opened, and the shopkeeper was cleaning the counter.Sitting in the store was a man in his fifties, drinking tea, with gray hair and beard, lean and lean.

Seeing someone coming, the clerk hurriedly threw down the rag to greet him with a smile, "Are the three taking medicine or asking a doctor?"

"Is your shopkeeper there?" Jiang Xiyuan looked at the middle-aged man while talking.The clerk smiled and said, "The shopkeeper has gone out to get medicine, and he won't be back until a few days later. This is Dr. Liu who is sitting here."

Dr. Liu sat on the chair, glanced at the three of them, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Is there anything the three of you are looking for from our shopkeeper?"

"We are from the government office, and we have something to ask." Jiang Xiyuan said.

Hearing this, the man's smile froze, and he said nervously, "Fuya? This..."

Xia Chu walked to the counter and smiled at him, "Don't be nervous. We just received complaints that there has always been a strange smell near Guangji Hall in the past two days, so come and see what's going on."

"Complain? Why..., this matter will be complained to the government office..." The clerk looked at Xia Chu in puzzlement, and after a while, he hurriedly said: "There is a strange smell, but it may not be us This is it. The weather has been warm recently, and it rained again two days ago, so the cooks in Shunshui Building may have stinked out of some kind of meat. To be honest, I want to look for it too."

"We took a look around just now. The double gate in the alley is your back door, right? It has a stronger smell, so it shouldn't be a problem with Shunshui Building," Xia Chu said.

Dr. Liu suddenly spoke from the side, "Exactly. If no one asks for a consultation, I don't want to sit in the consulting room, and my brain hurts from the smoke. I asked Tang Kui if some of the medicinal materials were broken, and he insisted on saying no. I've been practicing medicine for half my life, but I don't want to let people take back the broken medicinal materials after I finish my diagnosis."

The guy named Tang Kui became a little anxious when he heard this, and said to Dr. Liu, "Don't talk nonsense. When did Guangjitang sell bad medicinal materials? I have already cleaned up the back warehouse, and the medicines are all good. "

After Tang Kui finished speaking, he looked at Xia Chu again, "Our owner is the shopkeeper. The medicinal materials here are either grown by ourselves, or the shopkeeper personally buys them from other places. You should have heard of our name, the third-generation drug dealer, how come? He will smash his own signboard for some medicinal materials."

"Naturally." Xia Chu nodded, smiled slightly, and instead of talking to him, asked directly, "Is it convenient to go to the backyard to have a look?"

Tang Kui smiled reluctantly, "How dare you not let you go after what you said." While speaking, he lifted the board at the end of the counter and walked out, made a gesture of invitation, and turned back to Liu The doctor said: "Doctor Liu, let me see the facade for me."

There is a corridor at the south end of the Guangjitang store, and a room is set up on the east side of the corridor, which is used as a consultation room.Xia Chu took a peek inside, the furnishings were very simple, white and gray walls, a table and a few chairs.

There is a door at the end of the corridor, which leads to the backyard.The atrium in the backyard is quite open, surrounded by four sides. There is a gate on the east wall, which is the one they saw in the alley in early Xia just now.

"Why open such a big door?" Xia Chu pointed.

"Oh, it's for delivery. Horse-drawn carriages can come in directly. This backyard is our warehouse. The owner is mainly engaged in the business of medicinal materials, and this Guangjitang is a sideline business. You can go to the pharmacies in the capital and ask which one is safe. There are medicines from us." Tang Kui's tone was a bit smug.

Tang Kui took out the key from his waist, opened the door on the west side, and made way, "This warehouse is relatively large. I tidied it up the day before yesterday. It is clean and the medicinal materials are all ready."

There are a lot of sacks stacked along the wall in the warehouse, and some big wooden boxes, piled up quite high.There is a big shelf in the back, and there are many crocks and porcelain bottles on it.They are all different kinds of herbs.Xia Chu smelled it, and the medicinal fragrance was strong, so he withdrew.

In addition to this large warehouse, there is also a small warehouse connected to the storefront on the south side, where some commonly used medicines are stored, mainly to replenish the medicinal materials of their own pharmacy.There is a small stove on the west side of the backyard, and some chopped firewood is piled up along the wall.

"What is that room? It's also a warehouse?" Xia Chu pointed to the North Room.

"That's our boss's house. Wouldn't it be convenient for people to come to discuss business, look at medicinal materials, and settle payments in our own courtyard?" Tang Kui said.

"Can you open it and have a look?"

"Oh, I don't have the key to this house. I can't just go into my master's house."

Xia Chu walked over, walked up the steps, sniffed at the door, turned to Jiang Xiyuan and said, "My lord, come here, I think the smell is stronger here?"
