Along the way, that name, as well as the dead body whose tongue was cut off, kept flashing in front of his eyes.

Yuan Xi walked anxiously on the road, wondering when and where he met her.

In the middle of the night, the wind was howling, and it was extremely cold. Yuan Yan tightened her clothes and walked forward, when suddenly a yellow leaf hit her face.

She immediately took off the leaves and was about to shake them away, but she immediately remembered that when the fourth body was found, it was in the woods to the south.

At that time, a group of people were laughing at her, Yuan Yan immediately closed her eyes, and quickly recalled that day.

Everyone's face was wrong, and she didn't see that face until the end.It was the woodcutter who found the fourth body at that time!But it wasn't the one who spoke, it was the one who stood at the end from the beginning to the end.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but stroked his forehead and laughed.After a while, his face turned cold again, and he stood on the spot, resting his chin and thinking.Why did that person become the target of being killed, and he also lost a tongue.

Excluding love killings and imitation killings, Yuan Yu only thought of one possibility, that is, the woodcutter saw the murderer, and then he was killed!But when several woodcutters were there, why did only one die?

The more Yuan Yu thought about it, the more anxious she became. After thinking about it, she should go back to the government office first, and let the woodcutter be found before talking about it. Moreover, she also had to go back to the government office to make sure of something.Thinking of this, she quickly ran back to the government office.No matter how late the night was, people were sent to invite all the woodcutters at that time.

And taking advantage of her free time, she went to the prison to meet someone.

She managed to catch her breath and sat down to rest. Today, she really lost her legs, but when she thought that she was only a little away from what she really wanted, she felt extremely excited and didn't feel tired at all.

"My lord, have you found out who the murderer is? I'm innocent!" the doctor at Liufangtang shouted happily.

"Doctor, I ask you a few things. If you answer honestly, I will let you out immediately." After resting for a while, Yuan Yu finally spoke.

"You say."

"Liufangtang is the largest medical center in Heianjing. How long has it existed?"

"century!"

"Then if there is an intractable disease in Heianjing, will all the doctors consult Liufangtang?"

"Theoretically, it should be. Unless you are taking it to another place, you will basically ask Liufangtang for advice." The doctor said.

"Then doctor, you should have read all the records of intractable and miscellaneous diseases in your hall for a hundred years. I ask you, did you receive a boy with deformity 30 years ago? The curable one."

"Thirty years ago, I was my father's apprentice in Liufangtang. I have never received such a case, but when you said that, I remembered that my father took one, and it was indeed a deformity. Several times of treatment did not improve, so the family stopped coming, my father still felt sorry, and said that he planned to buy the child, even if the child could not be cured, the child could be used for his research after death, and finally benefit the world."

"Do you still remember what that child looked like?"

"I haven't seen him. But I heard from my father that the child hates doctors very much. During the last consultation, the child hid lime powder in his arms, and when he saw him, he sprinkled it on his head directly, and the quarrel broke up." .” The doctor still told the truth.

"Oh, that's it! Come here, open the door." Yuan Yan clapped his hands, and the jailer immediately came over and opened the door.

The doctor immediately came out of the door, and bowed to Yuan Xi as if relaxed.

"Would you mind having a cup of tea with me?" Yuan Xi suddenly said to him.

The doctor was taken aback for a moment, his brow was sweating suddenly, and then he sat down a little cautiously.The dim candlelight was flickering, the beauty was in front of her, but the doctor was a little absent-minded.

"I have read the ledger that I took out in your clinic. I want you to see the name. Do you recognize it?" Yuan Xi put a note on the table and pushed it over.

The doctor slowly looked down and remained silent.

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence."

"I don't know him!" cried the doctor suddenly.

"I don't know him, and I need to think about it for so long?"

"Who is he?" Yuan Xi jumped up.The doctor was so shocked that his face was covered with sweat, and he immediately knelt down.

"I don't know who he is! He just came to my store to buy things three months ago, and he came two or three times."

"Why are you so scared?" Yuan Yan suddenly looked down at him, eyes narrowed.

"I, I'm not afraid."

"Do you think this officer is incapable of finding out what happened?" Yuan Yu said to him coldly.

"I don't understand what your lord means." The doctor shrank back a little bit.This added to Yuan Xi's suspicions.

"You recently bought low and sold high, why did you use this money? When I asked you, I didn't find a large amount of silver in your home, but you, a doctor, suddenly needed so much money , if you didn't intentionally drive up the price, then I would suspect you, is it because the family members are seeking compensation for selfishness after treating someone to death? You know, is killing someone after treating someone dead?" Yuan Yu lowered her head very leisurely. , tapping the table slowly with his fingers.

With one sound, the doctor who knocked was covered in cold sweat and kept wiping himself.Yuan Yu slapped the table suddenly, and the doctor immediately cried out in fright, "My lord, my lord, please forgive me, I really didn't kill anyone, I really didn't!"

The doctor suddenly burst into tears, waving his hands wildly, it seemed that he was really frightened.Tears and snot came down, "I was wronged! That is, the person you just mentioned, he came to my store to buy medicine. More than half a month ago, he suddenly came to my store and told me that his friend took it. My medicine is dead! And it's arsenic. Frost poisoning! I don't know, I don't know there is arsenic. The medicine mixed with the frost was not taken back, so he bought it. I didn't expect him to come back after so long eat!"

"I really didn't do it on purpose. I'm a medical student. I have no intention of harming others! You have to trust me, my lord!"

"If you want me to believe you, just keep talking." Yuan Xi sat quietly.

"Then, he threatened me to give money every now and then. If I refused, he said he would sue me. I had to compromise for peace of mind and Liufangtang's signboard! Finally, the deal was 500 taels! At the final burial, I Also, I thought it was over, but unexpectedly, he came to the door again. That day, that is, the day the two children died, he came to my store to look for me. He asked me to prepare another 500 taels, if I If I don’t prepare, I’ll be left with nothing to eat. I begged him and almost knelt down, but he ignored me and told me to wait and see.”

"You mean, the day the child died, he went to your place?"

"Well, I came, but I left immediately." The doctor replied inexplicably.

Suddenly, Yuan Xi remembered the conversation she had with a person.Everything became brighter, and she already knew who the murderer was.

"Who is he?" Yuan Xi asked just to be on the safe side.

The doctor also hastily answered.Yuan Xi nodded and stood up, and pointed to the doctor's cell just now, the doctor had no choice but to stand up, and walked back by himself.

"Release Xingle." Yuan Yu ordered, and then walked out of the prison.

Evidence is needed to arrest someone. At this moment, the letter in her arms is the best evidence.

However, she still wanted to meet those woodcutters and ask what they saw that day.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the sky was cold, but after only a while, it suddenly dimmed.

Yuan Yu stood in the center of the hall, and the woodcutters stood obediently, but when they saw the corpse being carried out, they burst into tears.

"Who did this! What a crime!"

"How can you be so cruel!"

"If you don't want to end up with him, you'd better explain clearly what you saw that day!" Yuan Yu threatened them with the official style.

"I didn't see anything. There was really nothing. We were in a hurry to cut firewood, and we went up and down the mountain. We didn't meet anyone when we went up the mountain, and we needed to support each other when we went down the mountain. Where did we see anything? It was only when we walked down that we saw nothing. I saw the corpse." The woodcutters said one after another.

"Didn't you pay attention to the surroundings?" Yuan Xi had a headache.

"Oh, there is nothing. If you want to say it, it is when you go down the mountain and you see a black-covered boat in the river. There are white curtains hanging all over the front, back, left, and right. You can tell at a glance that they specialize in transporting the dead. It was early in the morning. Just that one boat parked in the river, it's very unlucky!"

Yuan Yu suddenly laughed when he heard this. It turned out that the dead woodcutter was more careful.However, he also left an extra eye on his neck.

Seeing that the woodcutters didn't seem to remember anything, Yuan Zhen let them take the corpse back with confidence.

Yuan Xi slumped on the chair, it seemed that it was time to arrest the murderer.

It's just that she was extremely tired this day, and she couldn't help but lay down on the chair in the lobby, drowsy.

While half dreaming and half awake, he suddenly seemed to see Re Huan, dripping blood all over his body.

Immediately she jumped up from her chair with a scream.Looking outside, it's already dawn.

Ye Che was staring at her.Seeing that she woke up, he immediately pulled her up and wanted to run away.

"Something happened! Something happened again! Miss Yu is gone!"
