Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 6 Tiechu case 5 Kang Shu'an concealed his medical history, from the 2 ladies...

Kang Shu'an was obviously taken aback for a moment, but with slightly lowered eyebrows, he replied: "Not really."

Naturally, Wandong would not doubt his medical skills. Mr. Kang's asthma is hereditary, so he just didn't want others to know?

Wandong wouldn't say these words, he still had a good-natured smile, the kind of gentle smile unique to doctors: "Mr. Kang remembers to avoid drinking alcohol, and drink it while it's hot after the medicine is ready. Xiao Zhang went to get some hot water and let Mr. Kang take a bath."

Wandong put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and returned them to the accountant. By now, it was almost dawn in the east.

It was still raining outside, a few policemen were questioning at the door of the restaurant, none of Wandong recognized them, they were very unfamiliar.

Wandong listened for a while to the Kang family's long-term worker's answer to the police, and he roughly understood that the second uncle of Kang should be a good person, and both the servants and the long-term workers of the Kang family thought that the second uncle was a good person.

Boss Kang can't drink, so he recruited the second young lady to find a son-in-law, Kang Second Uncle, who knows how to socialize and drink.

The young man of the Second Uncle Kang replied: "My uncle has been ill for the past few days. When I went out on the morning of the 21st, my uncle was not in good spirits. I ran on the road for two days and hadn't reached the Baosha River. Stopped, heard the news of the death of the old man, the third master said on the night of the 23rd whether he should transfer to the big boat, and the uncle also said that he would go back to Beijing sooner by taking the big boat. Who would have thought that such a disaster happened last night..."

Wandong thought, the Santaoyuan incident occurred on July 22, and Zou Wu'an came to him with a iron pestle on the day of the report.

About an hour later, a group of people came back and said that the search was fruitless.

Seeing that the few catchers didn't want to look for them anymore, Mo Li and the few catchers arrived on horseback.

Mo Li said: "You must find Shi Lei, if you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies."

This Shi Lei is the name of Second Uncle Kang, who has been in the Kang family for so many years, those who recognize him may forget his surname.

The few arresters who came earlier looked at Mo Li. Obviously those people didn't recognize him, but seeing his background and momentum, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Although they don't know the ink carp, they do recognize Bukuai Ye, who is a well-known catcher in the area of ​​Shangjing.

"My lord." The clever one has already stepped forward to salute.

Mo Li got off his horse, stopped his horse, and went into the restaurant to find the third master of Kang, Kang Shu'an.

Kang Shu'an's boy, Lannan, sat down not far from Wandong after feeding the medicine and took a nap.

Wandong waited for him to wake up before talking to him. During this time, he saw Mo Li had already entered and exited the restaurant three or four times.

"Eat a bowl of porridge." Wandong put a steaming bowl of porridge in front of Lan Nan.

The porridge was cooked by Chef Li, who used red beans, wolfberries and preserved eggs. It was originally Wandong's breakfast.

"You are the doctor who sees my master." Lan Nan took the porridge, took a bite, and looked at him, with the ignorance and childishness of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in his eyes.

Wandong's eyes brightened slightly: "Your Mandarin has a Yingzhou accent."

"As you can tell, I'm from Yingzhou, and I only arrived in Shangjing half a year ago." In this way, Lan Nan felt a little more cordial towards Wandong.

Wandong was puzzled, Zhunan and Lannan, why did Kang Shu'an bring Lannan, Zhunan should be a domestic servant, the son of Kang's parents and workers, raised and matured since childhood.

That's why the second uncle of the Kang family agreed to bring roast sausages to Zhu Nan, which also showed that the little servant Zhu Nan and Shi Lei should be very close.

Seeing him finish his porridge, Wandong said, "Go to rest, I'm going home too."

"Thank you, doctor. What's your last name, doctor?"

"My surname is Mei." Wan Dong smiled faintly, Lan Nan blushed, thinking that this doctor is really good-looking, he has never seen such a good-looking person in his age.

When Wandong came out of the restaurant, he saw that the ink carp had brought people to Zhou Langdu. Now that the rain was light, Zhou Langdu was busy again.

By the side of the ferry, the trackers who had started work were telling acquaintances who came to the pier about the second uncle of the Kang family who was washed away by the flood in the heavy rain last night.

"Look, there are a lot of catchers coming over there. I heard that they searched again, but they didn't even find the body. The man in black asked someone to get a boat. He said he was going to pick up the body, and a few old fishermen followed him. gone."

"It's a good thing I didn't rush the boat last night. I just said that I rushed to die in such a big wind and waves..." The boss who had just stopped the boat got off the boat and patted his chest in fear.

The trackers talked for a while and went to work, Wandong stood on the shore for a while, and after a while Moli, who was standing on the boat, looked over.

The eyes of the two froze slightly, Wandong turned around and walked up the official road, Mo Li seemed to have ordered a few words with Captain Ye, and walked off the boat.

Wandong walked a long way, past his own field, only to see the ink carp chasing him.

"Doctor Mei was at Zhou Lang Restaurant last night?"

"Yes, Master Mo, did Mr. Kang say when he will bury Boss Kang?"

"He said he had seen it with a Taoist, and tomorrow is an auspicious time."

Hearing this, Wandong stopped, but didn't say anything.

"Lord Mo, who do you think the murderer is?"

This was the first time Wandong asked Mo Li this question, so Mo Li was a little surprised.

If you ask Mo Li if there is anyone who doubts in his heart, Mo Li wants to say yes, but he doesn't.

The strange thing about this case is that everything he suspected was possible, but none of it was possible, and those who he suspected could be overthrown by some reason.

He believed that Wandong also felt the same way as him.

Mo Li's eyes were still cold, and his tone was also indifferent: "If it was Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao was not there at all that day, and if Mrs. Yao returned from the way back to her mother's house, she would not be able to kill Kang Boning with her strength and stature. Unless she has an accomplice."

"If it's Mrs. Kang Er, she is slightly taller than Yao Shi, but she doesn't have that strength. It is very difficult to smash a human head, and neither she nor Yao Shi can do it. Besides, Chef Wang and Xiaosi Qingqing, Qing It's even more impossible that Qing is just a child. Chef Wang is strong but not tall enough. With his height, he can't strangle Kang Boning to death, let alone the third master of the Kang family..."

"Of all the people, only the second uncle and the third master of the Kang family are tall enough, but it is completely confirmed that they will not be in Santaoyuan on July 23, and the guards at the city gate also said that they watched the Kang family's car leaving the city. Third Master Kang and Second Young Master were talking in the carriage."

What Mo Li said was consistent with what Wandong thought, and almost every suspicious person had a reason to overthrow it.

After pausing for a while, Mo Li frowned and said, "I just think it's strange that the second uncle of the Kang family was washed away by the water today. What do you think, Doctor Mei?"

When Mo Li said this, Wandong's brows were already tightened, he pursed his lips and said nothing, but Mo Li had already noticed that things were not so simple.

"Lord Mo, you send someone to investigate the Second Lady of Kang."

"What...?" Mo Li was startled, "You mean you doubt Mrs. Kang Er?"

Wandong shook his head: "No, Master Mo, don't get me wrong, I just feel that this case is full of fog, so I might as well start with the person who seems to be the simplest in a case. I say this because in the eyes of ordinary people like us Mrs. Kang's life is too... 'simple'."

The Kang family has a big family and she doesn't care about childbirth. She has almost no interest at all, and she doesn't even talk to Yao Shi. This woman's communication is the easiest, so it should be the best to start with.

When he said that, Mo Li also understood.

Wandong suddenly thought of another thing: "Have you checked whoever the Yu family sent the iron pestle to Kang Boning?"

Mo Li: "As soon as I received the case, I asked someone to investigate, but the person sent by the Yu family to deliver the iron pestle said that she put the iron pestle on the counter of the management room by the gate of Santao Garden, and had never entered the garden. I haven't seen Cumberling either."

"It was the steward of Yu's family who sent Tiechu to Taoyuan. Some passers-by also said that the carriage of Yu's family only stopped for a while, and the steward came out after entering the side room for a while, so she was not the last to see Kang Boning. .”

Wandong sighed: "So the last person to see Kang Boning was the murderer."

After parting with Mo Li, Wandong went to Xuejiazhuang, when Mei Xiaobai came to look for him on a donkey, and waved to him from afar.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Wandong said that he was upset when he saw Mei Xiaobai, but Mei Xiaobai was in a good mood looking at his beautiful cousin.

What Luo Shi made for Wandong today was stewed duck blood with mushrooms. The mushrooms were grown by Luo Shi himself. After growing this batch, there is no mushroom flavor. Wandong dipped duck blood in vinegar and ate two small bowls, and the rest was all handed over Gave it to Mei Xiaobai.

Mei Xiaobai drank all the dregs of the soup in one gulp.

Although Mei Xiaobai always doubted that she was not born to Luo Shi when she was a child, but now she is used to Luo Shi treating Wandong better than him. After all, his father told him that Wandong almost died several times when he was a child. He was dragged back from the ghost gate, and his uncle and aunt "don't hurt" Wandong at all. Wandong was always forced to practice martial arts and do hard work when he was a child.

Thinking of this, Mei Xiaobai felt a lot more balanced.

"Cousin, I'll take you into the city, and I'll lead you as you ride the donkey." Mei Xiaobai knew that he was definitely going back today, so she put down the bowl and began to introduce herself.

At the gate of the Dongcheng market, Wandong was stopped by Yumu, who was actually just passing by, but happened to see Wandong getting off the car.

Yu Mu was riding a horse, and now he was standing in front of Wan Dong. Yu Mu's horse moved towards Wan Dong, and shrugged his nose towards Wan Dong.

"Young Master Yu, we should have nothing to say."

Wandong's tone was indifferent, no emotion could be heard.

Yu Mu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, his voice seemed helpless and dissuading: "Wandong, don't worry about the Kang family's affairs."

Seeing that he was about to leave after saying this, Wandong suddenly took a step forward, and smiled: "But a few acquaintances, I received Kang Boning's medicine money, and he died for no apparent reason. I and these neighbors I just want to know the truth."

Yu Mu was slightly startled: "It's really just like this? You're not for iron..."

"Iron what?" Wandong looked at him suspiciously.

Yu Mu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wandong with a softer gaze: "That's all right, just don't worry about the Kang family's affairs, the government will give an explanation, just leave these matters to the government, just like you said You have only met him a few times, and it is the utmost benevolence to go to pay his respects."

Wandong: "Your sentence is the most benevolent, it's not like saying it to me alone, it's like saying it to yourself anyway."
