"Is this so?"
Shen Yinqiu said softly, "If this is the reason why they have been living like this, then we can't blame us.
Just like now, in the cold winter, they have to starve without anyone giving them alms.
They choose this way life, the consequences are also their own There is nothing happier than filling our stomachs.
We people can give if we are willing, and no one will force us to give.
Thinking about it from another perspective, you become a beggar and you are cold and hungry.
How do you feel when I give you a hot pot?"
Luo Jiuyi was speechless.
If someone had given him a little warmth when he was cold and hungry, he would definitely be very grateful.
Wan Qiyan changed the topic between them and said: "The corner ahead is Beixiang.
Let's go and see where she lives first."
Shen Yinqiu looked forward and nodded silently, but felt a little strange in his heart.
The beggar just now seemed really strange.
Luo Jiyi and the others could not have driven them away, but the other beggars did not behave in the same way.
What was he afraid of?
He did choose to crawl away after seeing her.
Luo Jiuyi wanted to guide them, but he found that they didn't need a guide at all.
The man with the single surname looked like he had lived in Luoshui Town for a long time.
I am very familiar with these streets, and it’s really hard to understand them.
Shen Yinqiu also noticed that she poked her head and said, "You know the road anyway?"
Wan Qiyan said: "While you were taking a nap, I studied the map of Luoshui Town for a while."
"Peeping behind my back."
Shen Yinqiu stared at him with slight resentment.
Wan Qiyan couldn't laugh or cry, "You couldn't understand the map, so I looked at it for you.
Don't be angry.
I'll explain it to you slowly when you get back."
They entered the alley, and Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu observed along the way.
After walking a few steps, there was a large black blood stain left in the corner of the alley.
It had dried up.
It had not snowed since morning, so it was obvious.
The two stood still in front of the blood stains and carefully observed the ground and surroundings.
There were no suspicious traces.
Shen Yinqiu looked forward, then at the alley behind where there was no one around, and asked Luo Jiuyi: "Are there few people coming in and out here?"
"Yes, they usually come in and out at another exit.
Because Li Xiuhua's home is at the end of the alley, they often use this alley entrance, which is relatively close."
Shen Yinqiu hummed, pointed at the blood and said, "Why is this blood dark black?
Is it because of poisoning?"
Luo Jiuyi never thought about this problem.
Wan Qiyan touched her head and said: "It doesn't mean that it will turn black after being poisoned for a long time.
Let's go and have a look in front."
Shen Yinqiu followed him forward thoughtfully, and came to a very simple house.
Many areas of the wall were crumbling, and the yard door was loose and looked unstable.
Luo Jiuyi stepped forward and pushed it open, and the three of them Step inside.
This is just like an ordinary people's yard, with a clothes-drying pole, a well, an elevated sieve for drying things, a water basin, a small vegetable plot in the corner, and a few strings of red peppers and garlic hanging under the eaves.
Luo Jiuyi didn't think there was anything good about these.

He stepped forward and opened the door.
The inside was also very simple, with few furniture and empty.
There were only a four-room wooden table and two chairs, and the canvases hanging on the pillars were all empty.
The color was no longer visible after washing.
As soon as I entered, I saw two tablets placed at the front door.
One looked very new and was the tablet of Li Xiuhua's mother who had just passed away.
Shen Yinqiu traced the tabletop with his fingertips, picked it up and rubbed it.
It was very clean with almost no dust.
Li Xiuhua must be a hard-working girl.
Wan Qiyan walked up to the tablet and didn't know what he was looking at.
Shen Yinqiu stepped forward and saw the tributes in front of the tablet.
He thought of the ancestral hall of the Shen Mansion.
It was such a bad memory.
Luo Jiuyi also looked around and said, "There's nothing good to see here.
Didn't you say you should go next door to inquire?"
Shen Yinqiu looked back and felt strange: "Why is there nothing good to see?
Don't you smell a faint medicinal smell in this room?"
Luo Jianyi was stunned, sniffed hard, and found that this was really the case.
But what does this prove?
He said: "As I said before, Li Xiuhua's mother, Aunt Li, died of illness.
Aunt Li took medicine for a long time to treat her illness.
Over time, the house smelled of medicine."
Shen Yinqiu walked to the kitchen outside the yard.
The stove was very clean and cold.
It should not have been turned on recently.
She said: "No, no matter how strong the smell of medicine is, it should have dissipated long ago after three months.
And in this weather, you It's not like she can't feel it, the wind blows often.
The windows in her house are half-open, which shows that she likes ventilation.
In this case, how could the smell of medicine from three months ago still remain, assuming that she still loves to clean
.
"
Luo Jiuyi listened to her clear and logical words, and slowly began to think about it.
Shen Yinqiu checked the pots and pans and followed the smell of the medicine before finding the medicine dregs in the lower left corner outside the kitchen.
She squatted down and looked at the black thing, and pulled a wooden stick from left to right.
She dug around and couldn't identify what it was. medicinal materials.
Wan Qiyan also squatted down next to her, took the wooden stick in her hand and turned it over: "Baiya, Mint, Scutellaria baicalensis, Platycodon grandiflorum, and Fritillaria almond.
This is a prescription for treating coughs."
Luo Jiuyi blurted out: "How do you know?"
Shen Yinqiu raised her head: "It's time for a long illness."
She looked at Wan Qiyan and said, "This should have been poured out in the past two days.
Li Xiuhua is not in good health and has seen a doctor."
Wan Qiyan agreed, and then saw fragments of the medicine stove among the debris.
He walked over and used a stick to dig it out: "The reason why the medicine stove was not found is that she broke it."
Shen Yinqiu also saw it.
She sighed and asked Luo Jiuyi: "Are you really sure that Li Xiuhua committed suicide?"

Luo Jiuyi was speechless, and after a while he said: "You can't say that Li Xiuhua died of illness just by finding these."
Shen Yinqiu shrugged: "You came to arrest us without even knowing the cause of her death.
You really followed the belief of not letting go of the misunderstanding.
If it is finally learned that Li Xiuhua died of illness, I don't know where your yamen's face will go."
Put it aside."
"I'll let you go then.
Say sorry.
Is there anything to be ashamed of?
It's everyone's responsibility to cooperate with the county government in handling the case."
Shen Yinqiu was speechless as he was speechless.
He was so thick-skinned and had a good attitude that he couldn't communicate.
The three of them inspected Li Xiuhua's yard in all directions.
Because of their conversation, the old grandmother from the next door neighbor came out to check.
This is an octogenarian old man.
She has gray hair, uses a cane, her face is wrinkled and her pupils are cloudy.
The old man first looked at Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu, then looked at Luo Jiuyi, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you here to investigate about that girl Xiuhua?
Hey, she is a good child, and I, an old woman, are still her age.
Qingqing is gone, you must catch her murderer."
Shen Yinqiu watched her cry.
He took a few steps forward and asked, "Old man, how is Xiuhua's health?"
"What?"
She seemed to be unable to hear what Shen Yinqiu said.
Shen Yinqiu raised her voice and asked again.
The old man still looked a little confused.
Luo Jiuyi hurried over and said, "This is Granny Zhao.
Her ears are hard to use because she is old.
Her son and daughter-in-law are all working outside, so she is the only one during the day."
At home, if you want to ask anything, you should wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back."
His voice was loud, and Granny Zhao heard it clearly, and replied: "My eldest son and Chunhua fell asleep as soon as they came back, snoring again and again.
If you want to ask anything, just ask me, this old woman."
Shen Yinqiu wondered why the old man understood what Luo Jiuyi said just now because she had worked so hard to improve her voice.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
She said to Luo Jiyi: "You have a loud voice.
Ask this Granny Zhao if she knows whether Li Xiuhua is in good health."
Luo Jiuyi happily agreed and spoke to Granny Zhao with a slight dialect accent.
Granny Zhao shook her head and said, "Xiu Hua'er is healthy.
There is nothing wrong with her.
Her mother is the one who is in poor health."
Shen Yinqiu shook his head and whispered to Wan Qiyan: "The old man is old, and she shouldn't be able to hear Li Xiuhua cough."
Wanqi Yan nodded, "Go to the medical clinic and ask."
Luo Jiuyi hurriedly sent Granny Zhao back to the house, and then followed them and said, "You are still looking for Granny Zhao's son and daughter-in-law, but I don't know where they are."
Wan Qiyan said no.
Shen Yinqiu said: "How come you even know this?"
"Because I also live in North Lane, I know more about it."
Shen Yinqiu let out a long sigh and started to look for pharmacies along the street.

Three of them said they had not given Li Xiuhua any medicine.
However, the doctor at the last hospital pointed them out: "Go and ask at the front.
Old Ghost Liu only prescribes medicine and does not sell medicines.
We don't keep names when we come to pharmacies to buy medicines, only for consultations."
Wan Qiyan thanked him and followed Luo Yiyi to find Liu Laogui's medical clinic.
However, this old ghost Liu did not have a medical clinic.
He only had a table and chairs on the roadside.
He also borrowed hot water from a stall next to him to make tea, so he looked like a fortune teller.
Although he is old, his eyes are bright and sparkling.
Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu stood in front of him before he raised his head and said, "Two of you, see a doctor."
Luo Jiuyi followed from behind.
Old Ghost Liu was not timid and asked again, "Hey, Ayi also comes to see a doctor."
Shen Yinqiu slightly raised the cloak on his head.
Liu Gui took one look and said, "Oh, miss, you are weak in energy and blood.
You need to take care of yourself."
Shen Yinqiu secretly thought that this old doctor still had some real abilities.
She was taking the pills Wan Bai gave her every day.
Luo Jiuyi thought he was talking nonsense, so he quickly interrupted: "Uncle Liu, don't be ridiculous, we are here to ask you about Li Xiuhua who lives in our alley."
"Li Xiuhua" Liu Gui frowned, "Something happened to her."
Luo Jiuyi lowered his voice, "She's dead."
Old ghost Liu was stunned and regretful for a moment, and then he blamed himself for a moment: "Sure enough, it's me who is incompetent."
Seeing the drama, Shen Yinqiu asked: "Why did the old gentleman say this?"
Old Ghost Liu glanced at her and asked Luo Jiuyi: "These two came with you."
"Yes, they were asked by Master Luo to assist us in investigating the case."
Luo Jiyi said
