Jiang Yueyang lowered her head and looked around at the ground, but couldn't find any trace of the hairpin.
[Host, please go to the left. You should stop when I tell you to.]
Jiang Yueyang followed the system's instructions and walked upstream to the left, and the others naturally followed her.
Not long after that, the system stopped.
Jiang Yueyang looked around, but didn't see the so-called hairpin. [Little melon, where is the hairpin? ]
[It's right under your feet.]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang subconsciously raised her foot, and the others also subconsciously looked down.
[Where?] Jiang Yueyang didn’t see the hairpin under her feet.
[It got stuck in the mud and got out.] The system explained, [It was raining the night when Chen Zhiyi dumped the body. When the government officials came here to investigate the scene, they accidentally stepped on the hairpin into the mud.]
[Fortunately it rained that day and the river water rose, so the body was washed up on the riverside the next day. Otherwise, when the body floated up, Chen Zhiyi would have discovered that the hairpin was missing and come to look for it.] The system continued.
Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment, then looked at Ke Ming and the others in confusion, "Master Ke, there seems to be something under my feet."
"Is there something?" Ke Ming squatted down to check.
Without waiting for him to make any move, Jiang Yueyang squatted down and dug up the soil with Guyu's dagger.
After a few diggings, the hairpin was revealed.
Ke Ming picked up the muddy hairpin without caring about the dirt. After taking a closer look, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "This hairpin seems to be made of wood, but it also seems not to be..."
"Let me see." Jiang Yueyang stretched out her hand towards him.
Ke Ming subconsciously handed over the hairpin, but when he saw the white fingers, he retracted it.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the mud off the hairpin before handing it over.
Jiang Yueyang took the hairpin and pretended to look at it, then put her nose close to it and sniffed it.
"This hairpin..." Jiang Yueyang raised her eyes and looked at the few people, "It seems to have a medicinal smell."
Hearing this, Ke Ming pretended to be surprised, took the hairpin from her hand and sniffed it hard.
"It does smell like medicine." Ke Ming winked at Bai Ze secretly, "I wonder what medicine it is?"
Bai Ze's eyes flashed, he reached out to take the hairpin and sniffed it, and said with certainty: "It's Aconitum!"
"Aconitum? Are you sure?" Ke Ming was shocked.
Bai Ze nodded, "The medicine I took before contained this herb. Because Aconitum is highly toxic, the doctor even used Aconitum to explain it to me when he prescribed the medicine."
Hearing that Bai Ze used Aconitum as medicine, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "Xiaogua, I remember Aconitum has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, warming the meridians and relieving pain, and strengthening the essence and restoring yang, right? 】
[Yes, it does have these effects. ]
[Master Bai, could it be that he is taking this medicine to...?]
The system laughed loudly but refused to give Bai Ze any explanation.
Seeing that the system was only smiling, Bai Ze rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Apart from anything else, this Aconitum is very effective in treating coughs. I took it twice, and my night coughing problem was completely cured."
Ke Ming suppressed his laughter and nodded, then said seriously: "Aconitum is rare, so it must be unusual for this Aconitum hairpin to appear here."
"Could it be left by the murderer?" asked King Yan.
Jiang Yueyang, who had opened his mouth to say this, slowly closed his mouth after hearing this.
Bai Ze nodded in agreement, "I think it's possible."
"Then the murderer could be a woman." Ke Ming followed up with an analysis.
Jiang Xun also analyzed: "Usually, the murderer has the habit of returning to the scene to check. Lord Ke, have you found any suspicious people around here in the past few days?"
Hearing this, everyone present looked around subconsciously. At this time, there were only officials from the Ministry of Justice and a few ordinary people standing in the distance watching the excitement.
Lord Ke thought about it and shook his head. "In the past few days since the Ministry of Justice took over the case, the officials of the Ministry of Justice have been looking for clues nearby, but they didn't notice any suspicious people, and the Qingxi County Government didn't mention it either."
At this time, Jiang Yueyang noticed that there was a person wearing a black veiled hat among the crowd watching the excitement on the other side of the river.
Judging from his clothes, he was a man, but judging from his figure, he seemed too thin.
The system asked: [Host, what are you looking at? ]
[Xiaogua, do you think the person wearing a black veil across from you is a little suspicious? ]
Hearing her words, everyone present looked in the direction she was looking without any expression.
There were five people wearing veiled hats in the crowd on the other side of the river, three of them were wearing white veiled hats, they must be women.
Two of them were wearing black veils, both dressed as men, and one of them lifted the black gauze of his veil.
The system glanced over and said with a slight surprise: [It’s Chen Zhiyi. ]
[Don’t you know who it is because you can’t see the face? ] Jiang Yueyang questioned as she walked around the river to the other side.
Several people hurriedly followed, and Ke Ming fell two steps behind and called the officer closest to him to his side.
He whispered, "Take the men from the other side and make sure to stop them."
The system said proudly: [The soap gauze is translucent, it can block your sight, but it can't block mine. ]
Bai Ze glanced across the river and saw the man leaving the crowd. He asked hurriedly, "Si Zheng, where are you going?"
Jiang Yueyang also saw that Chen Zhiyi was about to leave, so she quickened her pace and replied quickly, "I think the man wearing a black veil across the river is a little suspicious."
"Which one?"
"The one who left."
Before she finished her words, Ke Ming walked past her quickly, "Master Xiao Jiang, I'll take someone to take a look."
Perhaps sensing something was wrong, Shen Zhiyi walked faster and faster, and finally ran.
Seeing this, Ke Ming also started running, but when he reached the other side of the river, he only saw a figure disappearing in the crowd.
