Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 100 Elixir
On the second day, there was no news from He Zhinian, who knew that Wang Zongli from South Second Lane was also missing.

According to the Wang family, Wang Zongli has not returned since he went out yesterday evening.He suffered from wheezing. Before leaving, he took away half the family's savings and said he had found some kind of magic medicine. However, like He Zhinian, he never returned.

Yu Butou originally thought that this was a small case of a missing person, who knew that the involvement was getting wider and wider, and he was in a state of desperation for a while.Even after checking three pharmacies and clinics in the town, they have never seen this person.

It seems that He Zhinian and Wang Zongli probably did not purchase common medicines with pharmacies and clinics.The same deception, the same choice to travel at dusk, the same did not go to the pharmacy, but the result is also gone forever.

What kind of elixir are they going to buy?Apart from the three pharmacies and medical clinics in the town, who else knows how to consult doctors?Could it be that Li Ruixi, who ran away, is still in town?
Since Yu Tutou arrived in the town, he almost turned the whole Nanping upside down. Not only could he not find the three people who disappeared one after another, he couldn't even find half of the shadows.

Just when Yu Butou was in a state of confusion, the news of Yang Ruquan's disappearance from Beixiang came out again.

Yang Ruquan is much younger than the previous two, in his early 30s, but suffers from tuberculosis.Therefore, people in their thirties live like old men in their 50s.

According to Yang Ruquan's wife, the couple quarreled over trivial matters a day ago, and he ran away from home.I thought he was going to stay with relatives and friends for two days and then came back after the weather subsided.

It wasn't until yesterday that Yang Ruquan's wife heard that people were missing in the town one after another, and Yang Ruquan's wife was so frightened that she rushed to visit relatives and friends to look around, only to find that he had no relatives or friends at all, and had been missing for a whole day and night.

The reason for the quarrel was that Yang Ruquan heard that a magical medicine could cure tuberculosis, so he wanted to use his little savings to buy medicine.

The wife naturally disagreed, not to mention that since Yang Ruquan was ill, she couldn't go out to earn money, and the family relied on her to do odd jobs to save some money to make ends meet.

I just don't care about money, so everyone knows that tuberculosis can't be cured, so why bother spending so much money?

Seeing that his wife disagreed, Yang Ruquan had a big fight with her, and secretly took the money and ran away.

Yu Xiaoting sorted out his thoughts: three people were confirmed to be missing at the moment, first the town squire He Zhinian, and then Wang Zongli and Yang Ruquan.

All three of them were patients of Li Ruixi. He Zhinian suffered from hemoptysis, Wang Zongli suffered from wheezing, and Yang Ruquan suffered from tuberculosis.

All three of them disappeared because they went out to buy medicines, so after thinking about this drug seller, they all fell on Li Ruixi who escaped first.

Could it be that Li Ruixi is at the end of his rope and has concocted a panacea under the guise of seeking wealth and murder?However, if it was because of money, why didn't he take all the money in Renchuntang?
When Yu Xiaoting was having a headache, he saw the yamen servant sent back to Minchuan the day before to report.Said that Li Ruixi's house in Minchuan City had been searched thoroughly, and his family members also questioned them one by one, and the testimonies were consistent, and none of them saw Li Ruixi return to Minchuan.

Thinking about it, he just took out so much cash the night before, and all the eyeliners are looking for him now. If he didn't enter Minchuan, could it be that he hid in the mountains?
Nanping is surrounded by barren mountains. Once hidden among them, it may be difficult to find him.But if you go up the mountain in this season, not to mention the cold weather and the lack of dry food, you will definitely starve to death.

Think about it, although Li Ruixi is not pampered, but he is still a decent person, how can he bear this kind of hardship?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoting immediately drew a portrait of Li Ruixi and posted it throughout the town.

He doesn't believe in this evil anymore. Even if he, Li Ruixi, has money in his hands, he can't live off money?If so, then there must be an accomplice.

Thinking about it, when Wang Zongli and Yang Ruquan disappeared, Li Ruixi had disappeared for four or five days.How was he able to communicate with them without revealing himself?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoting went straight to the families of the three missing persons without stopping.

Sure enough, there was a harvest.

The day before He Zhinian disappeared, a woman in her 50s or [-]s passed a note to the concierge.

That day the boy was afraid of reprimand because he took the woman's money, and it happened the day before, so the official didn't mention it, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the officials asked him out after several interrogations.

And because Wang Zongli is a kind old man, many people in the neighborhood will greet him when they meet.But there was a person who contacted him the day before his disappearance that caught Yu Xiaoting's attention.

Of course, it would be difficult not to attract attention to this person. He is Yang Ruquan who has also disappeared.

Because Yang Ruquan was suffering from tuberculosis, he didn't move around much on weekdays, and rarely had contact with others.But it is said that the two of them whispered for a long time outside the courtyard in the sun.

As for Yang Ruquan, because he rarely interacted with others, before he disappeared, apart from quarreling with his wife, he exchanged a few words with his neighbor, Mrs. Wu, when they met outside the courtyard.

In terms of age, Mrs. Wu's body shape was somewhat similar to what the boy at the concierge of the He family described.Even though he was invited by Yu Xiaoting for questioning.

Wu Po and Yang Ruquan are neighbors, and their wife died early.Although he still has a son, he was sent out to learn crafts a few years ago, so he lives alone on weekdays.

She is a stable woman, and she has delivered many children in the town. Although she is experienced and has good skills, since several accidents happened a few years ago, there have been fewer people to hire.

Therefore, life has not been rich in recent years.

According to the villagers, in recent years, they have become more and more greedy for money, and they often do some immoral things such as abortion in private.

Yu Xiaoting saw that Mrs. Wu had a pale face and looked nervous with her hands lowered since she walked in. He waited for her to have a cup of tea, then moved a chair to sit in front of her and said:
"Do you know that three people in the town have disappeared one after another?"

Wu Po licked her chapped lips.

"I know! It's spread all over the town, and I've heard about it too, old lady."

Yu Xiaoting stared at Granny Wu and said, "Then do you know why I came to Nanping?"

Po Wu squeezed her folded hands.

"I know! This is exactly why I came here."

Yu Xiaoting suddenly got up and shouted: "Since you know, why don't you invite me?"

Po Wu was already nervous, but she didn't expect Yu Xiaoting to suddenly attack, so her legs became weak and her feet became weak, and she immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Officer, spare your life! The old woman was wronged! It's really none of my business, it's an evil ghost, it's an evil ghost who is asking for my life!"

"Evil ghosts? The sky is bright and the sky is clear, where are the evil ghosts? Don't talk nonsense and disturb the audience!"

Wu Po immediately knelt down and said:
"Master Guancha, everything I said is true, I saw it with my own eyes! The night before yesterday, I saw a white-clothed female ghost in the woods north of the town, with disheveled hair and blood dripping all over her body...

I know you may not believe it, but I have indeed seen it with my own eyes.

No matter how courageous I am, I would never dare to deceive an official! "

It’s not that Yu Xiaoting doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods.He also knew about Li Yufeng's case back then. Although he was not involved in Meng Shuyou's case, he had witnessed Li Yufeng going crazy in the Yamen of the state government.

Facing the mirror, she scratched her face until it was ripped apart, dripping with blood, and that ferocious and terrifying expression is still vivid in her memory.

It's just that he is now an official, so whether he believes it or not, he can't openly speak about ghosts and gods.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoting said: "What an evil ghost asking for his life! You made the date with me, can you admit it?"

Wu Po nodded and said, "It's true that I made an appointment, but their affairs really have nothing to do with me."

"Is that all done by the evil ghost? You can tell me! Come on, tell me how this evil ghost took his life? Where are the three people who disappeared before and after them?"

Wu Po tremblingly said: "On the night of the 21st, I had an appointment with Yang Ruquan under the big pagoda tree in the north of the town. But I waited for about half an hour, but it still hasn't arrived. I couldn't stand the cold, so I was going to go back .

Unexpectedly, at this time, two exclamations were heard from a distance.

I was startled, and I was going to take a look, but I didn't want to suddenly hang a female ghost in white from a tree, with disheveled hair and blood dripping from her mouth and nose.Appeared in front of me all of a sudden, fortunately I was wearing an amulet so that I would not die there.

I immediately ran back home and didn't dare to go out all day. "

"You said you heard the exclamation? Did you see anything?"

Before I went there, I was almost scared to death by the female ghost in white, and I didn't see anything. "

"What about He Zhinian?"

"It's none of my business for He Zhinian. I handed over a letter to ask him to come out that day, but he suppressed the price too much, so I didn't sell the medicine to him. He was fine when he left, who knows He disappeared that night."

"What about Li Ruixi? Where is he now?"

"I do not know?"

"You said you were selling medicine, but you don't know where Li Ruixi is now? So what kind of medicine are you selling? Can you prescribe it yourself?"

When Wu Po heard this, she lowered her head and pinched her thighs tremblingly until blood flowed, but she remained silent.

Yu Xiaoting shouted: "Not telling the truth!"

Wu Po knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I said, I said...this medicine does not require a prescription. It, it is the uterus of a pre-term fetus, Ziheche."

Yu Xiaoting was shocked and said: "Zihe Che, who is under one month old?"

"Exactly! Because after full-term, the nutrients in the cells will be absorbed by the fetus, so pre-term ones are needed. I learned this from Li Ruixi.
