Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

After reading the medical books all day, they didn't draw any conclusions, but both of them had a deep fear of medical books. In the end, it was Su Liran who helped them find out the properties of the medicines that contained the body parts. After listing all the main points in detail, Zhan Zhao took the paper full of words, looked at Su Liran gratefully and said, "Thanks to Mr. Su's help, otherwise I would really have a headache!"

Su Liran smiled and said: "Master Zhan is too serious. Even if I don't have my subordinates, Mr. Gongsun would not hesitate to help me. I am still worried that my writing will be wrong, which will delay my investigation."

Zhan Zhao clicked his tongue twice, and while carefully drying the wet ink on the paper, he laughed amusedly: "Mr. Su doesn't know something. Mr. Gongsun is powerful, but I want him to help... Hey, let's put it this way, it's like if I want to If you want him a sesame seed, at least you have to pay him a watermelon first, and he doesn’t want the unsweet, seedy, overripe ones!”

Su Liran was stunned, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Gongsun is also well versed in the way of doing business. I will have to ask him for advice someday."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly waved his hands and said seriously, "Don't, don't, if you teach him to be smarter, can we live a peaceful life in Kaifeng Mansion in the future?"

"Cat..."

"Why, did I say something wrong?" After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he saw Su Liran coughing twice in a serious manner, and the coughing sound was not the same as his usual, and then Bai Yutang said that you can do it yourself and I can't help You looked at yourself with a blank expression.

"Master Zhan is right, but I don't want watermelons that are not sweet, multi-seeded, or overripe, but the ones that are as thick as a city wall are the ones that students absolutely can't afford."

Zhan Zhao blinked, turned his head tremblingly, and saw Gongsun Ce standing not far away holding the book, looking at him with a half-smile.

Su Liran stood up and gave Gongsun a slight salute, then turned his head a little funny.

Zhan Zhao unnaturally coughed twice, his face flushed slightly.

Gongsun put down the book, sighed and said: "Okay, don't pretend, Mr. Su's cough is not contagious, and then you martial arts masters don't know that I am approaching? Did you tell me deliberately... "

The three of you looked at me, I looked at you, and collectively looked at Gongsun. In fact, they really didn't notice it, but they didn't have the nerve to say so.

"Hey, I'm not that unreasonable. For Mr. Su's sake, let's forget about the watermelon this time..."

Zhan Zhao let out a sigh of relief, and saw Gongsun pull out a roll of paper from his cuff, spread it out on the table, it was also an analysis diagram of a medicine bucket for hiding corpses, but apart from the basic medicinal properties, Gongsun also specially noted The connection between each medicine, and the writing is easy to understand, Zhan Zhao finally lost the feeling of being dizzy after reading medical books.After a while, he saw a diagram of a medicine bucket below, and on the cabinet where the body parts were placed, there were written hands, left wrist, left arm, heart, right arm, right wrist, feet...

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, wondering, "Sir, did you draw the position of the body parts?"

Gongsun nodded: "That's right, the corpses are lined up in this order."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "It feels like the murderer did this arrangement intentionally, but what does this arrangement represent? And why are there hands and feet at the head and tail, but one arm and one wrist in the rest of the place? Is it because it can't be put down or What other reason?"

Several people stared at the paper for a long time, but still didn't see any clues. Just as they were struggling to think, Zhao Hu ran over with sweat profusely. Seeing that several people were there, he wiped his sweat and handed over a package: "Eight...eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

As soon as Zhan Zhao was about to take it, Zhao Hu turned it into Gongsun's arms: "Boss, this time it's not for you, it's for Mr. Gongsun! It seems that Master Bai sent someone to deliver it urgently! "

"Oh...en?" Zhan Zhao stared at the tight package in Gongsun Ce's arms with a face full of surprise, "Brother Bai sent it?"

Bai Yutang glanced at the things in Gongsun Ce's arms, then looked at Zhan Zhao, and thought: This cat's expression of "I can take it apart and have a look, okay, okay..." is really interesting—— !But what on earth is his incomprehensible older brother playing?Actually expediting the delivery with [-] miles?

Su Liran who was at the side said: "Since it took eight hundred miles to expedite, it must be extremely important. Do you need us to avoid it, sir?"

"No need." Gongsun said that he had already unpacked it. Zhan Zhao stretched his neck and looked inside curiously. The package was packed layer by layer. The cursing status was fully turned on, and suddenly some inconspicuous gadgets were exposed from a pile of torn papers.

Gongsun held up a black ball, about the size of a thumbnail, feeling almost manic!

The three people beside him stared at the things in Gongsun's hands for a long time, and finally Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang next to him.

"Yutang, what is this that your elder brother gave you? Judging by its size, could it be some kind of life-saving antidote?"

Bai Yutang shook his head: "This time, I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the big brother's pot."

Su Liran said: "It doesn't look like medicine, but some kind of fruit."

The veins on Gongsun Ce's forehead twitched again and again...

Is this Bai Jintang, who has been paid a thousand knives, his mind squeezed by the door? What the hell is he doing? What kind of ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah a normal person will wrap a broken seed so tightly and then go back [-] miles... eh, wait, what did I just say, a seed? !

Gongsun frowned, put the round grain under his nose and sniffed it, then rubbed it lightly with the pulp of his finger, and then stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick it lightly.

After tsk-tsk twice, Gongsun let out a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "Brother Su is right, it is indeed a fruit... But, you can't eat it, if you have to say it, it's just a seed."

"Seeds?" Zhan Zhao blinked, "What kind of seeds? Apples or pears?"

Bai Yutang was a little speechless, this foodie cat...

"No, not those, the shape is different."

"Ah, what kind of seed would that be?"

"Well, I don't know yet," Gongsun tilted his head, "I need to look it up, maybe there will be clues in the book, by the way, Brother Su, what do you think?"

"Ordinary flower and fruit embryos, I can still recognize a thing or two, but this one sent by Brother Bai...sorry for my shallow knowledge, I really can't tell what it is, but since it was sent by Brother Bai, it should be fine. It's simple, I'm afraid even ordinary flower and fruit farmers won't be able to recognize it..."

Gongsun began to roll up his sleeves anxiously: "This guy must be too idle to send me this shit, but don't look down on people, do you think I don't know what kind of seed it is if you don't tell me? Hmph, I'm going to Go and check! You will never be complacent for too long! Dare to provoke me?!"

After the words fell, he left in a huff.

Zhan Zhao: "Sir, you have a high fighting spirit!"

Bai Yutang: "Well, it seems like I'm about to see the flames on my back."

Su Liran paused for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked in confusion: "What does the salty egg hurt?"

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Bai Yutang: "..."

After nightfall, Bai Yutang had just finished taking a shower. When he entered Zhan Zhao's room, what he saw was a scene where a certain cat was sitting at the table so absorbed in peeling an... apple?

When I got closer, I realized that I was not peeling apples, but carving them? !Bai Yutang hesitated to sit next to Zhan Zhao, looked sideways, and found that Zhan Zhao really seemed to be carving apples, which was really weird...

"Cat, what are you doing?"

Holding a fancy knife, Zhan Zhao explained slowly, "I was thinking, anyone who spends time doing something must have a certain purpose, right?"

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, it was rare that he didn't understand the meaning of Zhan Zhao's words...

Zhan Zhao continued to carve apples: "So, I want to think from the murderer's point of view, why did the corpse look like that? If there is a deep hatred, there is no need to spend that effort, or in other words, there should be better It’s a torture method, but the corpses are cut up and neatly placed in the medicine bucket, I always feel that the murderer wants to tell us something?”

Bai Yutang stared at the apple in Zhan Zhao's hand: "So you're carving corpses?"

"No." Zhan Zhao turned the apple around solemnly, facing the carved side to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at it calmly for a while, and then concluded his statement: "The corpse."

Zhan Zhao slumped on the table as if he would rather die than die: "Hey, I clearly carved a mouse, not a corpse, okay?"

"A mouse?" Bai Yutang laughed and took the apple from Zhan Zhao's hand, "Then is the mouse's surname Bai?"

Zhan Zhao raised his head, snatched the apple out of Bai Yutang's hand impolitely, took a big bite, and said while chewing, "Hmm... yes yes, surname Bai and name Yutang, a wicked mouse!"

"Hey, cat, have you washed your apples yet?"

"..."

Zhan Zhao silently put the apple back on the table, and swallowed the bite in his mouth with difficulty.

The more Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's appearance, the happier he felt, and couldn't help but patted Zhan Zhao's head: "The cat is good, but the sculpture is actually pretty good."

"Don't you think it's too late for you to praise?"

"So you are really waiting for me to praise you when you work hard here?"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, "Why don't we talk about the case!"

Bai Yutang was about to sigh again for the cat's ability to change the subject abruptly, when he heard the sound of someone hurriedly running over from outside, and after a while, Zhang Long's voice rang out from outside: "Boss, boss! problem occurs!!!"

Zhan Zhao opened the door, and saw Zhang Long panting at the door with an uneasy expression, "Boss, another person was killed and dismembered!"

"Again?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Where is this time? Who was killed again?"

Zhang Longshun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The boss of Tong'an Hall, Tong Qingyang."
