Chapter 1382 There are two murderers
Master Tan was instantly filled with remorse. Yes, so much time had passed; it was enough for the person who poisoned him to destroy the evidence.
However, every action leaves a trace. Mr. Tan took a deep breath and said to Doctor Zhao, "I understand. I'll leave this to you, Doctor Zhao. I will have someone prepare and send over the medicines you have listed as soon as possible."
Then he turned to Shu Yu and said, "Lord Lu, it's getting late. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
It was indeed quite late, and the city gates were about to close, but Shu Yu had no intention of going back.
It's probably hard to find an inn outside, since the provincial examination is in a couple of days and there will be people everywhere.
So she nodded, "Then I'll take my leave."
Mr. Tan then asked Mrs. Tan to arrange food and lodging for them, while he went to take care of the arrangements himself.
Dr. Zhao first gave Young Master Tan acupuncture, then gave him a pill, and then had someone prepare food for him.
Mrs. Tan watched nervously as Young Master Tan actually ate a bowl of noodles without showing any sign of displeasure or refusal.
Her eyes widened, she was both crying and laughing. How long had it been since such a scene had occurred?
They've seen so many doctors, and none of them could do it.
Mrs. Tan was extremely grateful to Dr. Zhao, and she sent all sorts of delicious food and useful items to their house.
Shu Yu and Dr. Zhao lived next door. When she saw that he had returned, she went over to have a meal with him and ask him some questions.
"Grandpa, are you going to stay at the Tan family's house for the next two weeks?"
After finishing his meal, Dr. Zhao slowly took a sip of water before looking up and asking, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? Speaking of which, you came to the Tan family specifically to see us today, didn't you? Has something happened?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "It's nothing serious, just that a friend of mine isn't feeling well and I need you to come and check on him."
Fearing that others might overhear, Shu Yu didn't reveal Xiao's identity or that she had been poisoned.
Dr. Zhao was relieved. "It's alright. For the next two weeks, I'll mainly be taking care of Young Master Tan's health. I'll just check on him a little each day; there's no need to stay by his side all the time. Tomorrow, I'll tell Mr. Tan that he needs to find a few herbs himself. He'll be out for a day; it won't be a problem."
"Okay, then we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
After they reached an agreement, Shu Yu went back to her room.
However, she didn't sleep much that night. She was eager to know who had poisoned Young Master Tan, as the chronic poison he had likely ingested was probably the same as that from the Xiao family.
According to Dr. Zhao, this poison is extremely rare.
Shu Yu was worried that the person who poisoned Young Master Tan might have some connection with the Xiao family.
The Tan family dared not be negligent in finding the murderer, and Mr. Tan was quite decisive. That night, the entire Tan family was noisy and bustling.
Shu Yu's guest house was far away, so there was not much noise.
The next morning, she gave Dr. Zhao a wink, who then asked Mr. Tan if the murderer had been caught.
Master Tan assumed that the man was asking about the poison, so he didn't hide anything and said wearily, "He's dead. He probably knew he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide."
Is there only one murderer?
“Two. One is the servant who has been taking care of my son’s daily life, and the other is a servant in the kitchen.” Master Tan’s face was grim. “But I’m afraid there are more than two. I will continue to investigate.”
