A aphrodisiac?
Su Li was deep in thought. The few medicines that she had recognized from the medicinal dregs earlier did have aphrodisiac effects. Could it be that Chen Ba had also taken aphrodisiac?
”Does little aunt know that Chen Ba also bought aphrodisiac medicine?”
”This woman doesn't know.” The woman looked up at Su Li, ”Miss, you mean to say … Is there a problem with that barefoot doctor's medicine? ”
Su Li did not directly answer her question, but asked her, ”Do we still have any pills left at home?”
”No more.”
”How long has it been since your man was found?”
The woman thought back for a long time, then said uncertainly, ”At that time, the official did not ask about this. The woman recalled for a while, then said uncertainly,” At that time, the official did not ask about that.
Seeing Su Li's doubt, the woman continued, ”Because there was no movement from my stomach the entire time, and every day when night fell, I would burn incense with Grandma to honor the Buddha, and the reason why Sister-in-law scolded me just now was also because before my husband died, she had always been preparing dinner by herself. Now that my husband has died, my stomach is still empty.
Su Li knew about all these from the record book. Due to Song Lai's help, he was unable to determine the time of Chen Shuisheng's death, only when the woman returned to her room during the nineties did he realize that Chen Shuisheng had died horribly. On the other hand, the time that Chen Shuisheng and his family ate was between nineties.
”Has Doctor Barefoot come to the Chen Family Village recently?”
The woman shook her head. ”I've never seen it before.”
Su Li stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
The official that went to visit came back, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a sharp glare from Mo Lianjin.
No one dared to make a sound, so Su Li's footsteps could be heard walking around the room.
”The first person died in the forest, there is a possibility of being lured out by the murderer; the second person died in a broken temple where the murderer was the most vulnerable; the third person died at home, where the murderer came and went as he pleased, indicating that the murderer had some sort of relationship with Chen Family Village and that it was probably the Chen Family Village. The fourth person, Chen Ba, died in the inn, so if he did not go to the Precious Moon House, the place of death should be at home.
After thinking through all of this, Su Li stood still as the corner of her mouth hooked up in a smile. Although her ugly face was unbearable to look at, the brightness in her eyes caused Mo Lianjin's black eyes to be tainted with a layer of abnormality.
”Song Lai...” Su Li tilted his head and looked at him, just as he was about to instruct him to go investigate, he was surprised to find an official who did not dare make a sound, ”You guys came back? What did you find? ”
