Fei Linlin rushed to the hospital with the prescription.

"Hello, doctor. This is the prescription for my medicine."

She first handed the prescription to the doctor, and then apologized to Kang Jinsheng, "Grandpa, I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I didn't learn the skills well enough and failed your trust in me..."

Kang Jinsheng was sitting in a wheelchair, his nosebleed had stopped, and he shook his head to comfort her.

The doctor said: "This is not my area of ​​expertise. You should take it to a Chinese medicine clinic for a checkup."

Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

The old Chinese doctor has wrinkled skin. He is already in his sixties or seventies, but he still has a lot of shiny black hair.

He slammed the prescription on the table and shouted, "Who wrote this?"

Everyone looked at Fei Linlin.

"Hello, I wrote this." She took a step forward.

"This is..." The old Chinese doctor stroked his beard, looked Fei Linlin up and down, and shook his head.

"This... this is a good recipe for nourishing Yin and replenishing Yang. Little girl, how could you write such a recipe? Don't deceive me anymore!"

The old Chinese doctor changed the subject and took out his cell phone at lightning speed to take a photo of the prescription.

"Who is your teacher? Tell me quickly."

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"Old sir, let's not talk about this for now." Fei Linlin asked him to look at Kang Jinsheng, "Can you please see if this prescription is suitable for you, old man?"

The old Chinese doctor was as vigorous and energetic as a monkey. He walked quickly around Kang Jinsheng and examined him.

"It couldn't be more fitting!"

"But he kept having nosebleeds after drinking it."

"how come?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, the old Chinese doctor thought for a moment.

Everyone looked at him, and after a moment, he slapped his thigh and said, "Someone must have replaced your medicine!"

Fei Linlin said distressedly: "But I made this at home."

She thought for a moment and then said, "I'll be away for a while... I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give the old man an explanation!"

"Old sir, can you please help me regulate my father's health? I will go back and check it out." Fei Linlin asked the old Chinese doctor.

After the old Chinese doctor nodded, she walked out.

The old Chinese doctor shouted: "Hey, you haven't told me who your teacher is!"

She was walking in a hurry and didn't hear anything.

All the way home.

Fei Linlin first went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance. There were only two ways to the underground floor, one was the stairs she often took, and the other was the elevator. There was a surveillance camera in the elevator, and after investigation, no one was found to have gone down through the elevator, and there were no surveillance cameras in the stairs and basement.

Through the medicine residue, she found that there was an extra ingredient, Rehmannia glutinosa, in the traditional Chinese medicine. She had already added Rehmannia glutinosa. Although they have the same roots and origin, the two herbs have completely different medicinal properties due to the difference in processing methods.

After confirming that he didn't get the wrong medicine due to confusion, Fei Linlin was terrified.

Who on earth wants to harm an old man who is about to die?

The basement was silent and she felt a chill down her spine.

Go through the dimly lit stairs, climb up to the surface, and find the butler.

"Butler, I have something to ask you." Fei Linlin asked, "You called me up this afternoon on the pretext of buying daily necessities. Do you remember?"

"That is the truth, ma'am."

"During the time when you called me up, someone went downstairs and added a medicinal ingredient to the Chinese medicine I boiled. Did you know that?"

"I don't know about that, ma'am. Please believe me, my husband and I have been together for many years. I am almost at retirement age. How could I do such a thing?"

Fei Linlin didn't comment. "Can you help me gather all the servants?"

"Okay, ma'am."

The villa is not very big. I just send a notification on my phone and then call everyone one by one. For some missing persons who don’t check their phones, I have to run to call them. It takes less than half an hour to get everyone together.

Fei Linlin sat on the sofa, looking at this group of people with a puzzled look.

"Is everyone here?"

"Except for the driver who is outside, everyone else is here."

"OK."

"Don't be nervous, I just have something to ask you." Fei Linlin stood up: "Excuse me, was there anyone who went into the basement yesterday afternoon?"

For a long time, no one stood up.

The servants were talking about it.

"If you don't admit it, the cost of being found out will be very high. I think you guys get paid on the 3rd, right? At least you won't lose your salary, but it may even cause everyone to lose their jobs. You don't really want me to go to great lengths to hire a detective, do you?"

The whispering became louder, and some aunties started cursing. Most people did not want to lose this easy and high-paying job.

Still no one acknowledged it.

Fei Linlin turned on the recorder on his phone and said, "Please tell me where you were from 3 to 5 yesterday afternoon, what you were doing, and if there is anyone who can testify for you."

One after another, it took a full two hours.

The last one was the fat chef: "I went out to buy groceries as usual. The housekeeper saw it."

The butler nodded in testimony.

Fei Linlin asked: "Are you going to buy groceries from three o'clock?"

"No ma'am, I didn't leave until half past four, and I was in the kitchen doing food carving until then."

He brought a plate of carrots from the kitchen and the whole class was carved into flowers.

Fei Linlin didn't know how long it would take to do this, so he checked the surveillance footage. The surveillance footage at the main entrance confirmed what the fat chef said; he went out at 4:30.

"Then you go down too."

Everyone went about their duties. Just when Fei Linlin was at a loss, the cleaning lady came back and secretly reported: "The housekeeper went downstairs to change the light bulb!"

"Ok, thank you."

Fei Linlin, who got the clue, became even more annoyed.

The most likely suspects are the reported housekeeper and the Mediterranean gardener who has no alibi, but what are their motives?

She would boil Chinese medicine at home from time to time, and some of them had a strong smell, and the smell was everywhere. No one had tampered with it in the past two years. How could it be so strange this time? The servants at home didn't even know who the Chinese medicine was boiled for.

Who is so familiar with the medicinal properties?

Fei Linlin asked the housekeeper: "Have you never gone down to the basement once?"

"No, Fatty reminded me to go downstairs and change the light while you were having dinner. My husband told me to do this before he left today, but I always forget. Fortunately, Fatty reminded me."

"Then how did he know?"

"He was beside me when the gentleman notified me." The housekeeper paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Madam, what exactly is causing such panic?"

"It's just a small matter. Go back to work first."

"Ok."

"and many more."

Fei Linlin suddenly thought of another person, so he called the housekeeper: "So what do you think of the gardener?"

The housekeeper stopped and tilted his head. His slightly protruding mouth opened and closed. "Mediterranean, he is always very hardworking. He only works in the garden and comes in through the back door at mealtime or when he needs water. He is a very good guy."
