After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 336: The skinny monkey wakes up and cannot see. The magistrate asks Zhang Lian and denies it

Li Xingjian, Qin Xiaofeng and others began to check the environment of "Skinny Monkey"'s home. The head of the village came into the house and saw that everyone was busy. He could not get a word in and could only stand quietly aside.

"Sir Li, there seems to be no murder weapon in the room." Qin Xiaofeng said.

Li Xingjian nodded. "Indeed, the back of his head was injured. According to common sense, it should be hit by the corner of the table, a stone or something, or someone hit him when he was not paying attention, but there is no such object in the house. Moreover, the floor of the house is soil, not hard. If he fell to the ground, he would not be injured and bleed."

"So, someone hit him and then ran away with the murder weapon... Sir, look, there seem to be some small drops of blood here."

The two squatted down and checked the black marks on the ground. Li Xingjian stretched out his finger and touched the edge.

"Yes, the murderer should have started from this location."

The two stood up and went to the inner room.

"Sir, the room is unusually messy. Someone must have rummaged through it."

"Did Brother Yang get robbed? No wonder his clothes are scattered all over the floor..." Sister Li muttered quietly beside him. Ding Xirui glanced at her, then at the two people in the inner room, and wanted to go over and look for clues together.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." A rat scurried out from the wall, seemingly holding something in its mouth. In a flash, Qin Xiaofeng drew out his knife and stabbed the rat, pinning it to the ground and killing it instantly.

Qin Xiaofeng walked over, pulled out his knife, and pried the thing the mouse was holding down from his mouth: "Sir, what do you think this is?"

"There is a fishy smell, it seems to be seafood."

"Seafood?" Ding Xirui couldn't help but respond upon hearing the voice.

"Yes, Doctor Ding." Qin Xiaofeng took out a handkerchief, wrapped it in a handkerchief and showed it to Ding Xirui.

"Isn't this dried clams?" Ding Xirui exclaimed.

"Any questions?"

"There was a thief in our place yesterday, and the dried clams in the kitchen were stolen. I didn't expect it was..." Ding Xirui glanced at the motionless "skinny monkey" and still couldn't believe it.

"But the thief was obviously a strong man," Lin Mingxuan added.

Li Xingjian walked out of the inner room. "That means two or more people conspired together, and then they had a dispute over uneven distribution of the spoils or other reasons, and that's why someone got hurt."

"Well, that should be the case." Qin Xiaofeng nodded.

Mrs. Li and the head of the village looked at each other. They felt ashamed that such a thing happened in the village.

"Who are you two?" Li Xingjian noticed them.

The village chief hurried forward and saluted:

"Master Li, I am Ma Fu, the head of Xiaoshi Village."

"I'm Mrs. Li Jiang." Mrs. Li bowed hurriedly.

"Yes." Li Xingjian nodded slightly and took a step closer. "Xiaoshi Village is small and there are not many people. Village Chief, what's the situation of this injured person?"

"Sir, his name is Ma Yang. He should be 23 years old this year. His parents died of illness last winter, and he is the only one left."

"Does he have any enemies?"

"Probably not. Villagers have occasional quarrels, but we live together and see each other every day. There's no need to hold grudges."

"Who is he familiar with?"

The head of the village glanced at Mrs. Li and said, "This... I'm not sure."

"Sir, I often see Brother Dayang and Dashi and a few others from the village together." said Mrs. Li.

"Okay..." Li Xingjian was just about to ask Sister Li to call someone over when the person on the ground seemed to move slightly.

"Brother, are you awake?" Lin Mingxuan said as he moved closer.

Everyone gathered around.

The "skinny monkey's" eyelids moved and slowly opened. The next moment, he closed them tightly again and opened them again.

"Shouhou, are you awake? Tell me what happened." The head of the village asked anxiously.

The "skinny monkey" stretched out one hand, half hanging it, and began to dance wildly.

"Is it dark now... Who are you?" He murmured weakly, a little panicked.

Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui looked at each other and were shocked. He stretched out his finger in front of the "skinny monkey" and shook it, but found that he had no reaction.

Lin Mingxuan took the patient's pulse again, and the worry in his eyes grew more and more serious.

"Doctor Lin, what happened to Dayang?" asked the head of the village.

"There must be blood stasis in the brain, which affects the eyes."

"Brother Dayang, can't be blind..." Mrs. Li took a breath and covered her mouth.

"Sister-in-law, please observe further and don't make any judgment yet." Ding Xirui winked at her.

"Okay, I understand." Mrs. Li took a step back.

The skinny monkey on the ground was already getting anxious, and he continued to wave his hands, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Lichang, is Doctor Lin here too? Am I blind? Why can't I see?"

"Brother, don't worry. I will treat you now." Lin Mingxuan held his hand.

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard. It was Xiaoqiang who arrived with the ginseng soup.

"Doctor Lin, the medicine is ready."

"Well, give it to me." Ding Xirui took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful and put it into the "skinny monkey's" mouth.

"Brother, you've lost a lot of blood. Take some medicine to restore your strength first. Come on, open your mouth." Lin Mingxuan patted him.

The "skinny monkey" raised his head slightly, opened his mouth, and continued to watch with his eyes wide open while taking the medicine. After finishing a bowl of medicine, several men worked together to lift him onto the bed.

"Dayang, tell the village head what happened and who beat you up like this?"

"Uncle Village Chief," "Skinny Monkey" stretched out his hand, and the Village Chief quickly shook it.

"Don't be afraid, child. County Magistrate Li has come to our village and will take care of the matter for you," the head of the village continued.

"County Magistrate Li?" The "skinny monkey" was startled and immediately pulled his hand back, turning his face away unconsciously.

"Brother Dayang, what's wrong with you? Tell me." Sister Li also advised.

"No, nothing, I just fell down accidentally."

"Accidentally fell? Where did you fall?" County Magistrate Li asked bluntly.

"I..." The skinny monkey hesitated for a moment, then recognized a different voice. "When I was going out, I accidentally tripped over myself..."

"Nonsense, if you trip yourself you should fall forward, not backward."

"Sir, I really fell down by accident. I don't remember how I fell..."

"Ma Yang, you'd better tell the truth. Did you conspire with others to steal things from the clinic?"

"No! I wouldn't dare." The "skinny monkey" struggled and fumbled around, turned over, chose a random direction, and knelt down tremblingly.

"Sir, Doctor Lin came to Xiaoshi Village to practice medicine and save lives. I am grateful to him. How could he steal things? I have always been law-abiding. I dare not."

After "Skinny Monkey" finished saying this, his body began to shake, and Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui quickly supported him.

"Sir, can you wait a little longer before asking questions? He seems to not have enough strength to sustain it." Lin Mingxuan requested.

"Ok."

"Thank you, sir."

Helping the "skinny monkey" lie down again, he held Lin Mingxuan's hand tightly.
