"Didn't you lose your memory? How come you still remember this?" Xie Guanglin asked curiously.
Qi Zhen glanced at him lightly, "Some things will pop up occasionally, but I can't remember the memories related to myself."
"The tea cake is indeed very possible. But it is not in the records. It is very likely that the two of them secretly stole the ingredients to make the tea cake." Bai Banxia added.
If that's the case, then you can understand why such a low-probability thing suddenly happened to two maids at the same time.
Sun Ci was still confused and asked: "If someone drinks tea and accidentally drinks one or two tea leaves, will he also be poisoned?"
"If you take a small amount, you will have hallucinations, but you won't lose control. Maybe some people have experienced it, but they didn't notice it." Bai Banxia explained, "A large amount will cause hallucinations, and people will lose consciousness and become extremely strong.
, just like a woman who climbed onto a rockery a few months ago and went crazy, it looked like she was drunk and crazy, but in fact she was not conscious at all at the time and had no idea what she was doing."
"Then this kind of poison is so terrible. It's mixed in the tea and kills people invisible." Sun Ci said with emotion.
Bai Banxia shook his head, "It is said that it is not very useful for people with extremely strong willpower, and this thing must be difficult to find, and it cannot be used to kill people."
"Then go check the warehouse quickly, don't let anyone tamper with you." Xie Guanglin rushed out in a hurry.
Sun Ci smiled at Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen, "My old friend has a fiery temper, so don't mind."
"It doesn't matter, the investigation is important." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia glanced at him, why did he feel that when he said "investigating the case is important", he looked more like a high official than Zhou Hai?
Master Wu had already arrived after receiving the news. The manager also opened the door lock of the warehouse cautiously, and said with an expression as if he was about to cry: "I bought the tea leaves from the old slave. I always buy them at He's shop."
The He family? Bai Banxia remembered that He Yunlan had a pharmacy in Ping'an Town and probably had other businesses. Couldn't the He family mentioned by the general manager be He Yunlan's He family?
"The He family produces its own tea?" Bai Banxia asked.
The steward hurriedly replied, "That's not true. The He family also purchases from the southern tea garden. Their prices are fair and they don't adulterate, so they have been purchasing from the He family in the past few years."
"Check the inventory first and then make sure." Bai Banxia said.
"Go and open the warehouse and let people watch nearby. No one can come near." Master Wu ordered.
The manager hurriedly opened the warehouse and ordered people to watch nearby.
Soon, Bai Banxia saw the remaining inventory in the warehouse.
"Because it's cold and I'm afraid of getting wet, I don't have much inventory, that's all I have," the manager said.
Bai Banxia was not in a hurry to look, and asked: "If the situation is normal, how long will it take for you to go shopping?"
The manager thought for a while and said: "Based on this quantity, I will usually go there again at the beginning of next month when I am purchasing."
"good."
She then opened the sack and examined it. It was difficult to find the mandola beads in a bag of tea because they all looked the same, so they had to rely on their smell. But in a bag of tea, the smell was all mixed up.
She remembered and waved to Qi Zhen, "Come and look with me. We can only look for it through the smell."
"Yes." Qi Zhen walked over, bent his long legs and squatted beside her. The two of them seemed to be cuddling together, and began to rummage among the tea leaves together.
If the atmosphere wasn't tense, this scene would actually be quite romantic, with handsome men and beautiful women cuddling each other, picking up tea with bare hands, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
I don't know how much time passed, but Sun Cidu found a bench and sat down while waiting. Xie Guanglin was impatient and kept spinning in circles.
Finally, Qi Zhen put a small piece of tea under Bai Banxia's nose, "Smell this."
Bai Banxia sniffed and her eyes lit up, "By the way, it should be the mandola beads!"
"Found it?" Xie Guanglin rushed over excitedly, reached out to take the tea leaves and studied them, then put them under his nose and sniffed, "Isn't this just ordinary tea leaves? It's still a little damp, so how can there be any different smell?"
Sun Ci also leaned over and said with disdain: "You don't have a dog's nose, can you smell farts?"
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen both glared at him, "What nonsense is this? Who are you scolding?"
"Haha, slip of the tongue, keep looking, I'll get you some food." Sun Ci felt murderous, and hurriedly found an excuse and ran away. Anyway, he couldn't help if he stayed, and he couldn't smell anything.
the difference.
The two asked for a big basin, put the tea leaves that had no problems in the big basin, and continued to rummage through the rest, and soon made another discovery.
The mandala beads were placed on a small plate, and soon there was a small handful, and finally half of the plate was found.
"Bai Yatou, how many slices of this stuff do you think will drive people crazy?" Xie Guanglin wanted to do an experiment and couldn't help but ask.
"This is also my first time seeing you. I have never tried medicine. I would like to take as many as six or seven tablets or as few as three or four tablets. Otherwise, more people will die in the Wu family in the past six months." Bai Banxia stood up and rubbed his neck.
He reached out and pulled Qi Zhen beside him up.
"Stop looking for it. These are almost enough. You can try the medicine." She said to Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen tilted his body and leaned against her. She hurriedly supported him and asked worriedly: "Are your legs numb from squatting?"
"Yeah." Qi Zhen held her shoulders and slowly stood up straight, "Just wait."
Xie Guanglin twitched the corner of his mouth next to him. As an operator with decades of experience, he absolutely believed that this kid's legs were not numb at all. The brat had a lot on his mind.
At this time, Sun Ci came back from the kitchen, carrying a food box, and said excitedly: "Guess what I asked about?"
"Those two maids did secretly make tea cakes." Qi Zhen replied.
Sun Ci's face fell, "Can't you pretend that you didn't guess it? Why is it so difficult for me, an old man, to show off?"
"Oh, I didn't guess that, just tell me." Qi Zhen stood up straight and signaled to Bai Banxia that his feet were numb.
Sun Ci put the food box on the table aside, opened it and took out a few plates of snacks and white fungus soup, "Thank you for your hard work, let's talk while eating."
"I have to wash my hands, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be poisoned." Bai Banxia touched the tea leaves for a long time, but she couldn't eat without washing her hands.
The steward hurriedly fetched water for the people he ordered. Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen were washing their hands while listening to Sun Ci's talk.
"Those two maids did secretly make tea cakes. They asked Mrs. Wang in the kitchen for noodles and tea, but they had already made them for more than ten days, so Mrs. Wang almost forgot about them. I think they had waited until a few days ago to prepare them.
Just eat it.”
Sun Ci continued: "The main thing is that Mrs. Wang also asked them to make some for herself at that time, but she is not from Anxi and is not used to eating tea cakes. They stole some bean paste and made her some bean paste filling."
