Xiao Mubei said: "I thought so at the beginning, but today, I drew a portrait of Doctor Yan and showed it to the people of Qilou Street. They said that this is the Doctor Yan who often came to give them free medical treatment."

As he spoke, Hei Mu had already taken out the portrait and unfolded it. Xiao Mubei's painting skills were very powerful. The person in the painting was exactly the same as the corpse Chu Yunxi saw that night, except that the person's eyes were open. Li Jinghong had already seen it and said that it was the same as the living Doctor Yan.

If you put it that way, then it can't be wrong.

"They charge exorbitant fees for consultation at Jinyutang, but provide free consultation at Qilou Street. What kind of operation is this?"

Chu Yunxi couldn't understand it, and Xiao Mubei couldn't understand it either. He had asked many people on Qilou Street, and everyone's evaluation of Doctor Yan was all: a great man, excellent medical skills, a living Bodhisattva, a good doctor...

The comments were higher than the other, but the comments from the patients and neighbors at Jinyutang were all: icy-faced, unkind, without medical ethics, difficult to talk to, stubborn...

Why does the same person have two completely different faces?

The first thing Chu Yunxi thought of was, could it be that Dr. Yan has schizophrenia?

It's not impossible. Chu Yunxi told Xiao Mubei about this idea. He didn't know what a second personality was and found it difficult to understand how the same person could have two consciousnesses.

However, no matter how absurd Chu Yunxi's words were, he felt that he could believe them. Perhaps he simply trusted Chu Yunxi as a person.

This idea can be used as an alternative option. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei visited several households and asked them when Doctor Yan usually came for free medical consultation. The people nearby said that Doctor Yan would come to Qilou Street for free medical consultation every three days, and he would basically come at the hour of You and leave at the hour of Hai.

If they leave at 11:00 p.m., the time they encountered the murder of Doctor Yan that day was around 12:00 p.m., so the time from here to West Fourth Street is almost the same.

"Doctor Yan always comes alone for free medical consultation?" Chu Yunxi asked the people nearby.

"No, Doctor Yan always comes in a carriage with a driver waiting for him, but he is alone during the free clinic. He carries a lot of medicine in his carriage, and gives the medicine to the patient directly after the consultation without charging any money. The folks in Qilou Street are looking forward to his coming. Sir, has something happened to Doctor Yan? Such a good person, please don't let anything happen to him."

An old lady holding a three or four-year-old child said, "My child got smallpox. Thanks to Doctor Yan. If he hadn't found and saved the child in time, I'm afraid the child would have died."

"So do we, thanks to Dr. Yan."

The people were talking at once, all praising Doctor Yan. Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei, and the two of them squeezed out of the crowd together.

"That day we met Doctor Yan at around midnight. He was coming back from a consultation alone. There was no medicine in his medicine box, only a set of golden needles and some golden wound medicine. It didn't look like he was coming back from a free consultation, and there was no carriage. Most importantly, it seemed that there was no one on Seventh Floor Street who was particularly good at Qinggong."

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei analyzed as they walked, "The people of Qilou Street admire Doctor Yan very much, so the possibility of murder is low, so it can be basically ruled out. In addition, that day was not the day of the free clinic in Qilou Street, so it seems that we have to continue investigating. The most urgent task is to find out where Doctor Yan went that night."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "The key issue now is that no one knows where he went. I've asked many people, but no one knows where he was that night."

Chu Yunxi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Just now, those people said that every time he came, he would bring a driver and a cart of medicinal herbs. But we have been investigating the case for so long, but we have never seen this driver. Do you think he knows something?"

Xiao Mubei clapped his hands, "That's right, we have to find this person. Doctor Yan's accident has been going on for two days, but he has not shown up. There must be something wrong. Hei Mu, notify Li Jinghong and immediately investigate the driver who always accompanies Doctor Yan on his visits to the Seventh Floor Street."

"Yes." Hei Mu immediately used his Qinggong to pass the order.

"Your Highness, I want to go to Jinyutang again to see if there are any overlooked clues." Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei.

Chu Yunxi had some dark circles under her eyes today, and she didn’t look very energetic. It was mainly because she had insomnia last night and didn’t sleep enough the night before. She also seemed to have lost weight recently, as if she would be blown away by the wind.

Xiao Mubei felt a little distressed, and couldn't help but say: "Go tomorrow, there will always be a lot of work to do on the case, health is more important."

After he said that, Chu Yunxi felt as if her whole body was falling apart. It seemed that she was really overloaded.

Chu Yunxi’s main point is that she listens to advice. Her leader has asked her to rest, so there is no reason for her to insist on working overtime. The case will not be solved overnight.

"Okay then, let's go back to Dali Temple and rest." Chu Yunxi stretched and stretched her muscles.

Xiao Mubei asked Bai Yu to drive the carriage over, and he also accompanied Chu Yunxi in the carriage instead of riding a horse. The three of them headed towards the Dali Temple.

To go back to Dali Temple from Qilou Street, one has to pass by the most prosperous street in the capital, Golden Palm Street. This street can be said to be the capital's den of money, with all kinds of brothels, music halls, casinos and restaurants. It is already the hour of Xu, the perfect time to go to the gods.

The carriage had to slow down when it arrived here. Chu Yunxi lifted the curtain to appreciate the scenery outside. She saw the girls with heavy makeup on their faces trying to attract customers in a charming way, saw the gamblers who were crazy about gambling being thrown out without any dignity because of a few taels of gambling money, and saw the mama-san welcoming the financiers into the building with a smile on her face.

Xiao Mubei suddenly snorted coldly. Chu Yunxi turned around in surprise and saw him staring at the door of Zui Chunfeng outside the window with a frosty face.

Zui Chunfeng is one of the best brothels in the capital. The girls there are all talented, beautiful and high-minded. It is not the case that you can do whatever you want here just because you have money. Here, you have to be talented to catch the eyes of those girls. But the more talented you are, the more popular this place is among the children of high-ranking officials.

Chu Yunxi didn't notice anything different, so she joked, "Which girl has your Highness run into a wall with before?"

Otherwise, why would his face be so cold, as if they were meeting an enemy?

Xiao Mubei ignored Chu Yunxi's teasing, but opened his thin lips and uttered three words, "Lin Haifu."

Chu Yunxi was still smiling, but her face changed drastically when she heard these three words. She almost jumped off the carriage and rushed over. Xiao Mubei grabbed her arm and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Mubei raised his chin towards the outside, "The one wearing a green gown, the one who just entered Zui Chunfeng."
