Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes and asked cooperatively, "What clue?"
"Hehe, host, let me tell you, I've found out that this thief who stole the He Shou Wu is connected to Huichuntang in Shiqiao Town!" the silly guy said smugly.
"Huichuntang?" Lin Cuiying frowned slightly. This Huichuntang, does such a shady thing?
“That’s right, it’s Huichuntang! I found out that this thief had been to Huichuntang before he stole the He Shou Wu, and he even had contact with the manager of Huichuntang!” Doubi continued.
Hearing this, Lin Cuiying frowned even more deeply. "Could it be that Huichuntang instigated this?"
“That’s possible! However, it’s not certain yet, so host, your task is to investigate this matter thoroughly and find the stolen He Shou Wu!” Doubi said seriously.
Lin Cuiying nodded; she was determined to take on this task!
"But, silly, I heard from the old doctor at Anhetang that the only thing stolen from their clinic was He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum). But I just sold He Shou Wu to Anhetang yesterday. How could it have been stolen last night? That's too much of a coincidence. Could it be that the people at Anhetang and Huichuntang were working together?" Lin Cuiying asked, voicing her doubts.
"Well..." Doubi thought for a moment and said, "That's possible, so host, you should investigate this carefully."
"If I'm going to investigate, I have to do the interviews first. What role can I play in investigating the people at Anhetang?"
Would people believe that a peasant woman like her would investigate the theft at someone's clinic?
"Don't worry, host, I'll arrange everything for you."
"How should we arrange it?" Lin Cuiying was still a little worried about this silly system.
The goofball chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice: "Host, have you forgotten my nickname? I'm the Goofball Genius! Don't worry, I have a brilliant plan!"
Lin Cuiying just wanted to say, it's not that I forgot your nickname, it's that I've never even heard of it.
Although Doubi is usually a bit unreliable, it can be very helpful when it matters.
So she relaxed and waited for the silly guy's arrangements.
The next morning, as soon as Lin Cuiying got out of bed, she heard a silly, excited voice in her mind, "Host, come and see the surprise I prepared for you!"
Lin Cuiying asked curiously, "Where's the surprise?"
The goofy guy chuckled and said mysteriously, "Host, just close your eyes, use your mind to take out a package from your spatial storage, and you'll know!"
Lin Cuiying's heart stirred. Following Doubi's instructions, she closed her eyes and used her mind to take out a package from her spatial storage.
She was somewhat surprised when she opened her eyes and saw the package in her hand.
The package looks heavy; I wonder what's inside.
Curious, she opened the package, only to find a constable's uniform inside!
"This is..." Lin Cuiying looked at Doubi in confusion.
The silly guy chuckled and said smugly, "Host, this is my brilliant plan! You put on this constable's uniform, pretend to be a constable, and investigate the theft of the he shou wu. That way, no one will suspect you!"
Lin Cuiying was both amused and exasperated by these words.
This idiot really knows how to come up with such crazy ideas.
However, it must be said that this method is indeed feasible.
When she puts on this constable's uniform, people will definitely think she's a real constable, which will make it easier for her to investigate.
Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying looked at the goofy guy and a smile appeared on her lips. "You really are a genius!"
Upon hearing this, the goofball became even more smug. "Hehe, of course! I'm a goofball genius!"
Lin Cuiying ignored the silly guy's inexplicable narcissism and began to think about her next plan.
She needed to find a suitable excuse to go out without arousing suspicion from her family.
Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying put the constable's clothes into her spatial storage and then left the room.
At this time, the Lin family members were all up, and Chen was already busy in the kitchen.
"mother!"
Lin Cuiying called out to Chen Shi and then fetched water to wash up.
"Yingzi, are you hungry?" Chen asked while tending the fire.
After washing her face, Lin Cuiying replied, "I'm not hungry, Mother. I'm going to the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs later, so I won't be back for lunch."
Chen looked up at her and asked, "Why are you going up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs again?"
Lin Cuiying had already prepared an excuse: "Mother, when I went to Anhetang yesterday to get the medicine, the old doctor casually asked me if I could find any other herbs. I thought that there were still many herbs to dig up on Daqingshan Mountain this season, so I agreed to the old doctor's request."
Upon hearing this, Chen didn't suspect anything. "Then be careful. Or should we have Tiandong go with you?"
Lin Cuiying quickly refused, "No need, Mother, I'm just going to dig some herbs, Tiandong doesn't need to come with me."
Chen thought about it and agreed, so she didn't insist. "Then be careful and come back soon."
"I understand, Mother."
After finishing her breakfast, Lin Cuiying slung her basket over her shoulder, grabbed her hoe, and headed out.
She didn't go directly to Daqingshan, but instead found a secluded place, took out a constable's uniform from her spatial storage, changed into it, and then put her basket and hoe back into her spatial storage.
To Lin Cuiying's surprise, the silly guy had also prepared tools for her to disguise herself.
Looking at the fake mustache that the idiot had prepared, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
This idiot is really well-prepared.
However, with this fake beard, she looked even more convincing as a constable.
Lin Cuiying stuck the fake beard on her chin, then straightened her clothes before turning and walking towards the town.
At this time, Anhetang had already opened for business.
Lin Cuiying entered the clinic and saw the old doctor who had prescribed medicine for her the day before sitting inside.
She stepped forward, clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute to the old doctor, and said in a low voice, "Old doctor, I am a newly arrived constable from the county government. I would like to ask you about the theft of the Polygonum multiflorum from your clinic."
Upon hearing that she was a constable, the old doctor's expression immediately became respectful. "So you are Constable, please have a seat."
Lin Cuiying didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, asking bluntly, "Doctor, what exactly did the stolen He Shou Wu from your clinic look like?"
The old doctor sighed, "Alas, that he shou wu was quite old, over fifty years old, and it was stolen just like that. It's such a pity."
Lin Cuiying then asked, "When was the He Shou Wu purchased?"
"It was brought over to sell by a young woman the day before yesterday. Who would have thought that it would be stolen before it even sat in the clinic for a day?"
"Who knows about Anhetang's purchase of He Shou Wu?"
"Well, to be honest, Officer, business at Anhetang is not good. I am the one who sits in the ward and dispenses medicine. There are no apprentices. I am the only one who knows about this."
