The Emperor's Favorite: The Detective Queen is too arrogant

Chapter 35
"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything Cao Min said before is the truth, but I only got acquainted with the Son two years ago on the way out."

Lin Ling nodded, and didn't want to ask too many questions. Jing Yu belongs to Jing Han, so naturally Gu Feng should also work with him.

Thinking of the purpose of asking Gu Feng to come today, Lin Ling asked,

"The old gentleman came to visit, did you find any clues?"

Gu Feng shook his head: "It doesn't look abnormal. He didn't hide it at all when he saw the old man. Although he was surprised, he couldn't hide the surprise after the reunion. He also respected the old man, and he also talked about what happened to him during this period. However, there is one thing that the old man thinks is very strange." He pondered for a moment and said to Lin Ling.

"Fragrance?" Lin Ling asked with some uncertainty.

Gu Feng nodded, "It seems that the empress also has this doubt."

"What fragrance?" Jing Yu and Ji Lang asked, what kind of riddle are these two playing?
Lin Ling replied: "Didn't you notice that there is a strong smell of pepper and spice in the medical center?"

Jing Yu: "Isn't that the smell of the medical center? A pungent smell"

"What the son said is different. I have been practicing medicine in a medical clinic for many years, and I have never heard of that smell in a medical clinic. Moreover, pepper is usually used as an auxiliary ingredient, but what is less known is that it can also be used for embalming corpses. .” Gu Feng said with a solemn expression.

"It is recorded in ancient medical books that Liu Biao's tomb was in Gaoping County. Cong, the son of Biao, smashed dozens of precious medicinal herbs from all directions and put them in the coffin. The fragrance of Suhe's disease is always ready. In Yongjiazhong (310), the county people sent him The tomb looks like life, and the fragrance smells for dozens of miles.' And the spices inside, prickly ash, are just one of them.”

Jing Yu looked at Lin Ling in astonishment: "If I remember correctly, the hearts of those beauties have disappeared, right?"
Ji Lang: "Weichen will send someone to search his residence..."

"No, the scent permeates the room rather than his own body. Besides, the strong smell of herbs in the medical hall has a certain effect of repelling insects and disinfecting. It is nothing more than a good place to put the hearts of the dead in the medical hall." The words fell. , he looked at Gu Feng, "Mr. Gu has been there for three years, do you know if there is any secret, dry and ventilated place like the basement?"

Hearing her question, Gu Feng seemed to think of something, and said, "The old man knows that there is a storage compartment near the back door of the medical hall, because it is used to store some more expensive medicinal materials, so it is very well ventilated, and the prickly ash If it were placed there, it would make sense to create the lingering aroma of peppercorns that people smell today."

Lin Ling's face was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "Mr. Gu is half a master of him. He can recognize the use of pepper and spices in the hospital. Lu Xiangnan will definitely notice something. We will return to the hospital now. museum, change will come sooner or later”

Everyone's expressions changed, and Ji Lang asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about him escaping?"

"No, I'm afraid he will commit suicide"

-

The sun sets very quickly after winter, and night begins to fall slowly.

When everyone rushed to the medical clinic again, it was almost You hour, and there were still some pedestrians on the street, but the medical clinic closed early.

Ji Lang knocked on the door for a while, but there was still no answer.

"Kick away..." Lin Ling's eyes were a little cold.At the end of the sentence, I don't know what method Jing Yu used, and the door opened in response to the sound.Everyone hurried in, and the strong scent of prickly ash was still coming to their faces. At a glance, the whole pharmacy was empty.

Lin Ling: "Master Ji, send someone to seal off this place, no one can come in or out"

"Yes"

"My lady, please." Gu Feng knew what Lin Ling was looking for, and hurriedly led the way.

Everyone came to the door of the storage room, the door was open, and some faint lights came out. Lin Ling was about to go in, but was stopped by Jing Yu,

"Sister-in-law, I'll go in first." At this time, Jing Yujun's face had an unseen solemn expression, and upon closer inspection, he looked somewhat similar to Jing Han.

He cautiously opened the door and inspected it. The storage room was not big, and he could see everything at a glance. After a while, he found three figures standing in front of him. No, Jing Yu took a closer look. It was a person and two humanoid woodcarvings. Talking to two wood carvings.

Lin Ling and Gu Feng walked in following his footsteps, and also noticed the scene in front of them.It took Lin Ling a while to react, and she called softly:
"The road goes south?"

The man turned around and didn't seem surprised to see them, so Yoyo said:
"You guys are here..." The voice was ethereal and slightly strange.

Jing Yu looked at the two statues. Under the light, the two white wooden sculptures smiled and looked at Lu Xiangnan tenderly. They were Li Ge and Luo Xi!

"Master Gu, this is my sister Luoxi and Lige, do you think they are beautiful?"

Gu Feng slowly recovered from the surprise, followed his gaze to carefully look at the two human-shaped wood carvings in front of him, the finished product was carved out of high-quality white basswood, as white as jade, and supplemented by the sculptor's skill and dedication, this The two statues are like real people, lifelike, no, under the faint orange light, it is more like a celestial girl descending from the earth, without any trace of fireworks.The scene in front of him made Gu Feng's mood change from surprise to envy, and finally to a sigh——

"Xiao Nan, do you remember what I told you before? Human sculptures can infect the aura of living people. This is a big taboo. Why are you bothering?"

Lu Xiangnan caressed these two wooden carvings obsessively, and murmured, "In this way, they will always be with me."

"Look, how beautiful they are now. After taking off their dirty bodies, this is their original appearance."

"You killed them," Lin Ling said lightly.

"No, it's salvation." Lu Xiangnan's expression was a little excited, as if he was worried that Lin Ling and others would not believe it. He walked to the cabinets where the medicinal materials were placed, opened one of the cabinets, took out a stack of papers and handed them to Lin Ling.

"Look, how dirty and ugly they have lived these past few years"

Lin Ling took the papers and flipped through them, only to realize that they were some letters from Luo Xi and Li Ge, most of which were about some unbearable experiences in the brothel in the past few years. Playing around, two weak women are constantly struggling and sinking in this dark abyss.If she saw it, she couldn't help feeling a little sad and indignant. In this feudal dynasty, was the status of women really so unbearable?

"They also want to be free, but it's because of me, because of me, a sick person, that they persisted. They lived in such pain, but I didn't know what to do. Later I found out, it was to help them free. Keep their most beautiful and pure appearance." Lu Xiangnan's expression was difficult to distinguish, it seemed to be sad, it seemed to yearn.

"Their contract is about to expire, and soon you will be free again, why bother to choose this path?" Lin Ling's voice was cold.

"Heh~" Lu Xiangnan sneered, "Young Master, I'm afraid you don't know that Li Ge and sister have been sold to high-ranking officials and nobles as concubines before the contract expires. That's right, they are free after the contract expires, but they are just playthings from everyone. become one person's shackles."
