Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

The fat man laid Ge Dazhi's body flat on the autopsy table. Because it had been soaked in water for a long time, the body was pale white, which made people look terrible. The fat man opened the mouth of the deceased and found that there was no waterweed in it, which meant that he was thrown into the water after he died.

Fatty Zheng leaned down and smelled the deceased's mouth a few times, then used tweezers to pull something out of the deceased's teeth and said to me: "Lao Guo, come and see, this is the seed of the Datura flower."

Datura flowers again!

The fat man said: "This time the autopsy must be disemboweled. I want to know what he ate before he died. Brother Guo, you'd better wait outside. This scene will be more terrifying."

I really couldn't bear to watch the deceased being disemboweled, so I stood outside the house.

After two hours, the fat man walked out of the house. I brought him well water and asked him to clean his hands. He said: "In addition to chicken, vegetable leaves, noodles, etc., Ge Dazhi's stomach also contained the remains of Datura datura seeds and flowers. In Wu Xing's stomach, in addition to undigested rice, celery, and meat, there was also Datura datura. Both of them were poisoned by Datura seeds, and Mai Laoguang planted poisonous gas made from Datura flowers, so the four of them were killed by the same murderer."

"Did he commit the murder after being poisoned?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "No, the flowers and seeds of Datura are poisonous, but the dose in the stomach is not enough to kill people. It will just make the deceased unconscious and unable to resist."

I asked Xiao Tianbao: "You have been in Chang'an for a long time. Do you know where I can buy mandala flowers?"

Tianbao scratched his head and said, "There shouldn't be any for sale. Although this flower can be used as medicine, a slightly larger dose can poison people, so pharmacies basically don't use it anymore. It's hard to buy it in Chang'an, unless someone grows it." .”

The fat man and I nodded. It seems that if we find the owner of the mandala flower, we can find the murderer. But Chang'an City is so big, how can we find it?

Xiao Tianbao said: "I still have some friends in the Chang'an Caotai class. I will look for them right now. They travel all over the country and know many people. They may know where they are."

The fat man said: "Just say you have a skin disease and need Datura flowers to treat it, so they won't be suspicious."

I asked the fat man: "How can datura flowers treat skin diseases?"

"Well, this is also a method of fighting fire with fire, but the dosage must be cautious."

When we got home, we sat around the table. Hui'er had already served tea, while Liu Qingqing was reading quietly.

I said to the fat man: "Now we can be sure that the murderer is the same person, and the four people killed are all Cantonese, and they all came to Chang'an from Guangdong 13 years ago. This is a coincidence. They were killed by the same person within a few days, so there must be a connection."

The fat man nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. Why did they all run from Guangdong to Chang'an in a group, and they were so far away? What did they want? Did something happen in Guangdong?"

I said to the fat man: "By the way, I discovered a very strange thing."

Fatty and Tianbao hurried up and asked, "Whenever something fishy happens, there must be a monster. Tell me what it is?"

"When Mai Laoguang's accident happened, when we arrived at the scene, people were talking about it, but one person seemed very calm. He just watched quietly, then turned around and left. At first, I thought it was someone with bad intentions. I was just watching the excitement and didn’t think much about it. However, today at the scene of Ge Dazhi’s crime, I seemed to see him again. He was standing at the back of the crowd. I just glanced at him and thought he looked familiar, but in the blink of an eye he was Just disappeared.”

The fat man said: "The crime scenes of the two deceased persons were very far away. He was able to come to the scene twice, which means that he knew the place where the deceased was killed. This may be the murderer. Why didn't you catch him at that time?"

"I'm not sure if it's the same person, I just think he looks familiar, and he just passes by in a flash. But he has a characteristic."

Xiao Tianbao asked eagerly: "What characteristics?"

"He's very thin! Very thin."

Fatty said: "This may really be the murderer, because serial murderers have a habit of appearing at the scene of murders repeatedly. He is appreciating his murderous works to satisfy his desire for expression."

I smashed the table angrily and said, "It's all my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have caught him."

The fat man said: "Besides that he is thinner, what else is different?"

I recalled it for a while and said, "It was a very ordinary face. I just can't remember it. Maybe it was his expression that made me feel a little special."

At this time, Hui'er had already brought the dishes and said, "Stop discussing, let's have some food. I know that when people are hungry, their brains don't work very well."

The fat man looked flattering and said to Hui'er: "Thank you for your hard work, Hui Mei. What delicious food you cooked today? I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. I'll help you wash the dishes later."

I smiled and said, "Fat man, your mouth is too sweet. You can make our Huier happy."

Huier smiled sweetly, her face flushed.

Liu Qingqing said with a cold face: "This is called caring and considerate, which is better than some people being heartless." After saying this, he rolled his eyes at me.

I was angry and funny, and said, "What's wrong with me? If I care so much about Hui'er, your little brother Dong will kill me!"

Liu Qingqing picked up a piece of the best plain-cut chicken for me: "Eat your food, you have too much to do."

The fat man said to Hui'er: "Miss Liu still cares about our brother Guo, she is just cold-faced and warm-hearted."

Hui'er looked at me and Liu Qingqing with a smile, made a face at the fat man, and said, "That's right, that's right, Sister Liu can really pretend. You don't know that last time when Brother Guo was framed and arrested, I saw her still..." I secretly worship the Bodhisattva."

Liu Qingqing gently tapped Hui'er's hand with chopsticks, and said coldly: "I don't care about anyone, I only care about myself. Hurry up and feed me, why can't you be stopped by such fragrant dishes?" Mouth." Although her tone was still cold, I thought her face was slightly red, which was very nice!

The happiest moment for me is to go home and have dinner and chat with my friends. At that moment, I can put aside all the pressure and be my true self.
