The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

No wonder the two of them knew nothing about what happened on Seventh Floor Street. It seems that even the people around him, Dr. Yan never trusts them and never says anything.

Of the two, Xingyao and Xinghao, one was nearly frozen to death and was rescued, and the other was sent here by his parents. But the strange thing is that the parents never came to see the children after they were sent here, which is not in line with common sense. Chu Yunxi couldn't judge for the time being whether Doctor Yan was a good person or had other intentions, so she simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Lunch time had passed. When Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi and Li Jinghong arrived at the wonton stall, it was past the busiest time. There were only two tables of people left. They seemed to be people from nearby, eating and chatting.

"Boss, three bowls of wontons and two baskets of steamed buns, please."

Chu Yunxi ordered some food, and while waiting, she ran to buy a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts and some melon seeds, to eat while she came back to discuss the case. It was a pity there was no coffee, otherwise she would have had a cup of iced Americano, which would have been so refreshing.

As soon as they sat down, wontons and buns were served. As soon as the three of them picked up their chopsticks, they heard someone next to them say, "Recently, something happened to Doctor Yan. Doctor Du's clinic is closed. I caught a cold yesterday, so I had to run around several blocks to get medicine."

The person next to him said, "Yes, I find it strange too. Doctor Du's clinic has not been open for several days. It seems that it has been closed since Doctor Yan's accident. My wife was pregnant and she was staying with him to protect the pregnancy. Recently, she went there several times but was turned away every time."

Chu Yunxi and the other two looked at each other and paid attention. Chu Yunxi picked up a bun and said in a low voice: "I remember hearing last time that Doctor Du opened a clinic at the east end of the street. The consultation fee is cheap and the doctor is kind. People nearby all go to her for treatment, right?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, that's what the boss said."

"Then ask him again."

Li Jinghong understood and called the boss over, saying, "I heard there is a doctor named Du on West Fourth Street. He is quite good at medicine. I have a headache these days. I wonder if you can show me the way?"

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient. Dear guests, Doctor Du is the first store at the east end of the street. Walk east from here and you will see Tongxin Hall on the left at the end. That's Doctor Du's store. However, Doctor Du doesn't seem to have opened his store these days. I don't know why."

"Doctor Du often doesn't open the shop on weekdays?" Chu Yunxi asked.

The boss shook his head. "No, Dr. Du usually opens the shop early on weekdays and waits until the last patient leaves before closing it. If there are emergency patients, her Tongxintang will sometimes stay up all night and still open as usual the next day."

In this case, he is a dedicated and good doctor.

"I don't know whether Doctor Du is a man or a woman. After hearing what you said, I also have some illness and I want Doctor Du to help me take a look." Chu Yunxi pretended to be a little embarrassed.

However, the boss was very enthusiastic and said, "Then you have found the right person, young lady. Doctor Du is not only a woman, but also a gynecologist. My wife's illness was cured by her. Almost all the women within a ten-mile radius know her. I just don't know if Tongxin Hall is open today. If it is open, you can go there for medical treatment."

It turned out to be a female doctor.

"Okay, I wonder if Doctor Du has any contact with Doctor Yan on a daily basis?" Chu Yunxi had a vague feeling in her heart that Doctor Du and Doctor Yan might have a connection.

The boss shook his head and said, "I haven't seen them interact with each other. They both run medical clinics, so they should be competitors. It's not a good idea to go to each other's stores."

"Okay, thank you, boss. Let's go see if Dr. Du is open later." Chu Yunxi sent the boss away and told Xiao Mubei and Li Jinghong about her thoughts.

"I think we have to find this Doctor Du. I have a hunch that Doctor Du and Doctor Yan may have a close relationship."

"Why?" Li Jinghong was puzzled. "Didn't the boss say that the two of them never interacted with each other?"

Chu Yunxi said, "I don't know, maybe it's my sixth sense. Let's eat quickly and then go find Doctor Du."

What the hell is the sixth sense? Li Jinghong didn't understand. Seeing that the prince didn't ask, he was too embarrassed to ask, for fear of appearing ignorant.

In fact, Xiao Mubei didn’t know what the sixth sense was, but he believed in Chu Yunxi.

After finishing her meal in a hurry, Chu Yunxi took her snacks and walked towards the east end of the street with Xiao Mubei and Li Jinghong. It was indeed not far and they arrived there in a short while.

But the door was closed, and there was a piece of paper on the door, saying, "Something happened at home, so we are temporarily closed."

Chu Yunxi went forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Li Jinghong put his ear to the door and listened, but there was no sound.

Chu Yunxi said: "My Lord, send someone to keep an eye on it."

Xiao Mubei summoned Bai Yu and asked him to arrange someone to keep an eye on Tongxin Hall and report immediately once Doctor Du returned.

Just as the arrangements were made, a constable from the Dali Temple rode up quickly on horseback. Upon seeing the three people, he immediately dismounted and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Li Shaoqing, someone has reported that several bodies were found in a river outside the city."

Chu Yunxi's scalp tingled, "Several? How many?"

The man said, "It's not clear yet. The brothers are rushing there. The person who reported the case was frightened and didn't see it clearly. I hurried to inform the prince and Li Shaoqing."

Xiao Mubei also looked solemn and said, "Lead the way."

The constable immediately took the three of them out of the city. Chu Yunxi still rode on the same horse with Xiao Mubei. On the way, she was still thinking that she really had to find time to learn how to ride a horse, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to travel. She couldn't always ride with Xiao Mubei, that would be too unreasonable.

The main riding posture is a bit too ambiguous...

But soon Chu Yunxi had no time to think about whether it was ambiguous or not. The place where the accident happened was next to a woods ten miles outside the west city. A wide river flowed out of the city, winding all the way eastward, and flowing to an unknown distance.

The people who reported the case were two young men in their early twenties, one named Erpang and the other named Xiaoyu. They lived in a nearby village. On weekdays, they often bathed and caught fish in this river. They were both good swimmers, but usually they stayed by the river, close to the shore, where the water was relatively shallow. Today, while swimming, the two of them dived into the river several times and ran to the deep water area in the middle of the river.

When they were about to swim back, Erpang first saw what seemed to be a dark shadow at the bottom of the river. He thought it might be some treasure, so he called Xiaoyu to go over and take a look. The two swam closer slowly, but suddenly saw a pale face. They were frightened and swam back immediately. However, Xiaoyu kicked someone again. When they turned their heads, they saw several figures floating in the water. The two felt like they had lost their souls. They swam desperately upstream, swam to the surface to find the direction, and after returning to the shore, they immediately ran to the Dali Temple to report the case.
