Volume 1: Linzhou Talent Case Chapter 10: Familiar Taste
Xing Qianqiu immediately arranged for people to investigate matters related to the ship, while Duan Ming returned to the morgue.
Looking at the corpses in front of him, Duan Ming secretly clenched his fists.
He and Sun Wuzuo could not be said to have any friendship, after all, they had only known each other for two days.
But Sun Wu died as him, which Duan Ming could not accept.
No one understands better than Duan Ming how difficult it is to live, so no one understands better than Duan Ming how precious life is.
When the man lunged at him with a knife, if Sun Wuzuo hadn't risked his life to save him, then he would have been cut into two pieces!
Taking a deep breath and looking at the dozen or so Mirror officers guarding the door, Duan Ming took off the yellow cloth from the table beside him.
When Duan Ming was sent to Rende Hall, Huang Bu was left here.
Duan Ming looked at the yellow cloth and vaguely felt that the key to solving the case lay here.
Suddenly, Duan Ming seemed to have thought of something, and said to the Mirror Officer outside: "Please get me some water."
Soon, the water was delivered to the morgue. Duan Ming cut off a piece of yellow cloth and soaked it in the water.
After a while, Duan Ming took the yellow cloth out of the water and observed it carefully, but there was nothing abnormal.
Duan Ming then put the piece of yellow cloth on the fire and gently baked it, wanting to see if there would be any changes.
After baking for a while, there was still no change in the yellow cloth. Just when Duan Ming was about to change the method, he suddenly smelled a very familiar smell.
This smell was very special. Duan Ming frowned slightly, as if he had smelled it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it at all.
After thinking for a long time and still having no clue, Duan Ming put down the yellow cloth in his hand and came to Ji Qianfan's body again.
Previously, I was concentrating on studying the yellow cloth and did not examine Ji Qianfan's body in detail. However, when I met Sun Wuzuo, I was suddenly attacked before I could communicate with him.
Although I have just read Sun Wuzuo's notes, there are some things that I still need to check carefully.
According to the oral statements of those who watched Ji Qianfan before, Ji Qianfan should have died between Yin o'clock and Mao o'clock yesterday, and the cause of death was drowning.
There was nothing special about this, but why did Ji Qianfan deliberately send people to lure away the officials of the Mirror Division before? And why did he run to the Sulin River early in the morning?
Duan Ming carefully inspected every detail of Ji Qianfan's body. Ji Qianfan's body was slightly swollen. There were no obvious injuries on the surface of the body. The pupils of both eyes were dilated, there was bleeding under the iris, the eardrums of both ears were ruptured, and blood stains were visible...
After examining Ji Qianfan's body, Duan Ming frowned. Ji Qianfan's symptoms were completely consistent with the characteristics of a drowned person, but something seemed not quite right.
Duan Ming slowly walked to the seat beside him and sat down. He held the records made by himself and Sun Wu in his hands. He compared them carefully and found that there was basically no difference.
Putting down the notes in his hand, Duan Ming looked at Ji Qianfan's body and rubbed his forehead: "What on earth are you not telling me?"
While Duan Ming was thinking, Xing Qianqiu rushed over.
"Mr. Duan." Xing Qianqiu said to Duan Ming: "The ship you are looking for has been found!"
"Really?" Duan Ming stood up suddenly.
"We interrogated the person in charge of registration that day, and he said that an official ship transporting ice arrived late that day." Xing Qianqiu said: "Normally speaking, the official ship transporting ice should have arrived the day before yesterday. As a result,
I was late all night and entered the port when the fog was still heavy. So in order to avoid being held responsible, I paid a heavy fee and asked the person who registered to advance the entry time by a few hours!"
"Where is that ship now?" Duan Ming asked.
"They drove away early this morning." Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "But don't worry, I have sent people to block the road and they will be able to stop them! At the same time, I will rush to pursue them and I will never let them escape!
"
"You just left early today?" Duan Ming was stunned when he heard this, and frowned slightly: "Why did you have to stay so long?"
"What did Mr. Duan think of?" Xing Qianqiu asked.
"It just feels like something is wrong." Duan Ming shook his head: "Forget it, Lao Xing, you'd better go quickly."
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then left quickly.
Duan Ming sat back on the chair again, closed his eyes and thought carefully.
The familiar smell on the yellow cloth, the strange feeling on Ji Qianfan's body, the official ship that just left early this morning.
These things seem to be intertwined together, as if guiding Duan Ming to think in a certain direction.
Soon, it got dark, and Duan Ming had been sitting here all night without knowing it.
Suddenly, Duan Ming's eyes lit up. The scent on the yellow cloth was both familiar and unfamiliar, which meant that Duan Ming had rarely smelled it, but had smelled it recently.
If you think about it carefully, the smell seems to be that of some kind of medicinal herb.
"Rende Hall!" Duan Ming slowly lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "Is it Song Rende?"
However, it was getting late now, and Xing Qianqiu was not in the Mirror Department. Duan Ming did not rush to Rende Hall, but only waited for dawn the next day before taking action.
At this moment, there are only seven days left!
Early the next morning, Duan Ming rushed directly to Rende Hall.
"Xiao Duan, you're here again." Song Rende saw Duan Ming's arrival and said with a smile, "How is the wound?"
"Nothing serious. Thank you very much for your concern, Divine Doctor Song." Duan Ming said to Song Rende, "I came here on purpose to thank Divine Doctor Song for his life-saving grace."
"Haha, you are gifted. Even if I don't have you, you won't be in any serious trouble." Song Rende shook his head: "Okay, Xiao Duan, I still have a lot of patients to see, so you can just take a look first.
"
"You're busy." Duan Ming nodded.
After Song Rende left, Duan Ming walked silently in Rende Hall, sniffing gently, trying to find that familiar smell.
But after visiting almost the entire Rende Hall, Duan Ming still couldn't find the same smell even though Rende Hall was filled with medicinal fragrance.
Duan Ming frowned slightly, isn't it the smell of Mingde Hall?
However, Duan Ming has not been to other drug stores recently, so what else could it taste like?
After bidding farewell to Song Rende, Duan Ming walked back while thinking about this issue.
However, at this moment, Duan Ming's heart suddenly became tense and he hurriedly rushed to the side.
"Dang!" A ray of silver light suddenly appeared, cut through the corner of Duan Ming's clothes, and fell to the ground.
Duan Ming turned over and looked at where he was just now, and saw a big man holding a long knife and slashing to the ground.
The big man saw that the blow did not hit Duan Ming, so he was not upset. He shook his arm and swung his sword again.
"Whoosh!" The cold light broke through the air and arrived in front of Duan Ming in the blink of an eye! This chapter has been completed!
