Madam let me die

Chapter 20 surfaced
After coming out of Xianghualou, the sky was completely dark.

The moon frozen in the night sky is like a round mirror made of ice, clear and not stained with dust.

Compared with the continuous artillery fire inside the Xianghua Building, the outside of the building is much deserted, except for the passing pedestrians, there are only a few shoulder vendors still hawking.

Occasionally, armed and dignified yachamen can be seen patrolling.

"Where do you think Myolie will be?"

Leng Xinnan looked at the rows of blurred houses and asked softly. "At that time, the monster escaped without holding anyone hostage. Could it be that there are other monsters?"

Li Nanke shook his head: "No, the only monster is Old Qintou. But what I'm wondering now is why the monster entered Mei Xing'er's room."

"It wants revenge on the Lin family."

"Then why, it entered Mei Xing'er's room first, and made the room so messy?"

The man repeated the question, emphasizing the key points.

Leng Xinnan was stopped by the question.

To be honest, she was kind of blown away.

In the past, when she handled cases, she sometimes encountered difficulties, but in the end she was able to solve them with her own ability.

But since she invited Li Nanke to assist in handling the case, she suddenly had the illusion that her IQ was completely unequal, and it was difficult for her to keep up with the other party's thinking.

Just trying to understand one thing, the other party brought up another thing.

After running around for a whole day, although I figured out the origin of the monster and locked down the murderer behind the "red rain" for Wan Yingying and Lin Jiaoyue, my mind was still confused.

"Then why do you say?" Leng Xinnan had no choice but to ask for advice.

Li Nanke looked at her fair and beautiful cheeks, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, the purpose is so clear, it's obvious that I went to Mei Xing'er."

"Why." The girl was still confused.

This time the man didn't give an answer, he just guessed randomly: "Perhaps Mei Xing'er did something to offend him. Or maybe..."

Seeing the man's silence, Leng Xinnan had an inexplicable urge to beat him up.

Li Nanke gently brushed the dust off his shoulders, and said, "Master Leng, it's too late now, let's go to Wen's house tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?"

Leng Xinnan slightly tensed her big, moist and moving Jianshui pupils, full of puzzlement.

Obviously the murderer has been identified.

"There are still some questions I can't figure out. It's not too late to go tomorrow." Li Nanke said helplessly, rubbing his stomach. "Also, my stomach is really going to be hungry."

After being reminded by the other party, Leng Xinnan remembered that the two of them had been traveling all day without even eating.

Even she made do with two buns in the morning.

The girl felt a little embarrassed immediately, and took the initiative to invite: "Let's find a restaurant, I'll treat you."

The man declined: "No need, my wife is still waiting for me to eat."

"It's so late, are you sure?"

Leng Xinnan didn't think that Luo Qianqiu was still waiting, but it was possible to keep a meal.

Li Nanke's tone was firm: "I must be waiting."

Leng Xinnan no longer insisted: "Okay, then I'll send you there."

When the two came home, Leng Xinnan was completely shocked when he saw the food that was still warm on the table and the woman waiting quietly with the medical book in her hand.

What shocked her was not only Luo Qianqiu's "virtuousness", but the tacit understanding between their husband and wife.

At the same time, there was an indescribable feeling lingering in my heart.Sour, astringent, and sweet... It made her envious and longing for this kind of married life.

"Didn't I tell you, don't wait for me if you don't come back in the afternoon, just eat first."

Li Nanke sat on the chair, 'complaining' in his mouth.

Luo Qianqiu pursed her soft and beautiful lips, and smiled sweetly: "I'm not hungry, so I'll just wait for my husband."

As he said that, he took out a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, and said gently to Leng Xinnan: "Master Leng, let's go together."

"No, I—"

Leng Xinnan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing that the other party had already served her a meal, coupled with the tempting aroma of the meal seducing her, she finally decided to eat the meal cheekily.

Facts have proved that her meal was worth it.

At the moment of the food, she really realized what is the world's gourmet food.

Especially the lotus tofu in my mouth at the moment.

There are a few traces of bitterness and heat at the first entrance, but then there is an invisible force that penetrates directly into the brain, making people feel comfortable all over the body, and they can't bear to stop chopsticks.

The famous chefs in Beijing are no different.

She also finally understood why Li Nanke accepted this ordinary-looking wife.

Leaving aside medical skills and personalities, this top-notch cooking skill alone is enough to hold the stomachs of most men and tie their hearts.

"Master Leng, Mr. Xiang didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

Luo Qianqiu asked softly.

Leng Xinnan, who was indulging in delicious food, heard the words, swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "How could it be, your husband is very capable."

"It's fine if you don't cause trouble."

Luo Qianqiu showed a light and gentle smile, picked up a piece of food and put it in Leng Xinnan's bowl. "Xianggong sometimes has a more casual temper. If he makes a mistake in the future, I hope Mr. Leng will take care of him."

"Well, I will."

The virtuousness of a woman made Leng Xinnan feel even more that Li Nanke married a good wife.

But then, she heard another meaning in the words.

Do you want Li Nanke to follow her all the time?
Leng Xinnan glanced at Li Nanke, but the other party just buried his head in his meal and didn't respond.

The girl was troubled.

In this short day, she also saw Li Nanke's excellence and cherished his talent.

But letting the other party enter the dangerous department of the Night Patrol Division, it is difficult to guarantee whether he can always protect him.If something goes wrong, this loving couple may be separated forever.

Leng Xinnan couldn't guess what Luo Qianqiu meant, so she chose to remain silent.

The oil lamp on the table reflected the three figures.

Compared with the coldness of the two in the past, although Leng Xinnan's joining was a bit inconsistent, it also added a bit of anger.

But light bulbs are light bulbs after all, so you still need to have the necessary awareness.After the meal, Leng Xinnan consciously bid farewell to the couple.

Before leaving, Luo Qianqiu grabbed a pair of herbs for her.

Apparently she saw that Leng Xinnan suffered internal injuries, and specifically asked the other party to remember to come for a massage tomorrow to relieve symptoms.

"Is the case going well?"

Luo Qianqiu asked casually while tidying up the dishes on the table.

"Okay."

Li Nanke nodded, took out two leaves from his arms, and handed them to the woman. "Ma'am, do you know what kind of flower and leaf this is?"

He found these two leaves under Mei Xing'er's closet.

At that time, he took the leaves and compared all the flowers grown in the house, but found no similar leaves.

"This is the flower and leaf of Drunken Immortal Peach, also called White Flower Mandala."

Luo Qianqiu just glanced at it and said the name of the flower and leaf. "It has the effects of anesthesia and asthma, and is mostly used in crude Mongolian sweat drugs."

Menghan... medicine?

Li Nanke was taken aback.

Luo Qianqiu took the flowers and leaves from his hand, looked at them and said, "It also smells of Naoyang pollen and cypress osmanthus. Zuixiantao and Naoyanghua are mostly used to make drunken medicine, and the amount is suitable for adding. When mixed with wine, one can get drunk immediately. But both of them are also poisonous, so we added Baicigui to suppress the toxicity.”

The detailed explanation given by the miraculous doctor's daughter-in-law finally solved a question that troubled Li Nanke.

Inner inferences are also clearer.

Why is there such a medicinal material in Mei Xing'er's room?

What is she using it for?
When Luo Qianqiu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Li Nanke habitually hugged Sister Goose, sitting on the back of Mr. Gui, blowing the cool breeze, while thinking about problems.

He picked out clues about Mei Xing'er one by one and sorted them out.

On the night of the fourth day of August, Mei Xing'er quarreled with her injured daughter. At that time, the maid Xiang'er heard Lin Jiaoyue shout angrily, "There is him but not me".

At midnight, He Qingyu died at home.

On the fifth day of August, Mei Xing'er packed some of her old clothes and burned them all.

"Why did she burn the clothes?"

Li Nanke slowly touched Sister Goose's buttocks, with a strange gleam in his eyes, as if he was asking Sister Goose. "Is it really because there are mice in the closet?"

Of course Sister Goose couldn't answer.

And also very angry at the daily molestation of men to it.

I feel unclean.

I don't have the face to see Lao Huang anymore.

"Aside from rats, what else would make her want to burn clothes? And judging from the amount of clothes in the closet and Xiang'er's statement, it doesn't look like she only burned them once."

"Or, she actually burned only one of them, and she deliberately added other clothes into it because she was afraid of being discovered by others?"

"The question is, what happened to the dress she wanted to burn?"

"Is it stained with something, it's not easy to wash?"

Li Nanke asked himself over and over again.

When the doubt came to this point, an answer shrouded in layers of smoke immediately appeared in the man's mind.

Li Nanke sat up straight suddenly, and slowly uttered three words:

"lime powder!"
