Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Su An was suddenly startled and looked over.

Then she saw the county magistrate Lin Yong, wearing an official hat and uniform, with his hands behind his back, leading a group of officers and soldiers and rushing in, and he happened to be looking in her direction.

Lin Yong knew it was Su An, but he was not in a good mood because of his official duties. He frowned and called out, "Boss Su."

Su An suddenly became nervous. She knew that in order to appease the poisoned people, the county magistrate had the right to arrest the shop owner first without finding the real culprit.

But in this way, she would have no way to find the real murderer herself and could only stay in the dungeon and leave it to fate!

You can't be arrested like this!

She immediately stepped forward, tears welling in her eyes as she cried out mournfully, "My Lord! Please help me! Someone is taking revenge on me by poisoning my shop. Wuuwuwu..."

Lin Yong glanced around the lobby and frowned.

"Don't worry, Boss Su, I will definitely investigate the truth and won't let the bad guys go. But, Boss Su, you have to go back with us to investigate."

Su An suddenly became anxious. She couldn't be caught!

At this moment, a figure sitting in a wheelchair suddenly appeared from the corner.

He toyed with a lustrous jade in his hand and said casually, "I think it's more important to find the real culprit as soon as possible and punish him, rather than just arresting people indiscriminately to temporarily appease the masses."

"As the shop owner, Shopkeeper Su didn't run away immediately when he learned someone was poisoned. Instead, he considered investigating his subordinates. This shows that he is extremely responsible. As the county magistrate, you should also give Shopkeeper Su a chance."

Lin Yong, who was about to give an order to the soldiers to arrest people, was so shocked that he became speechless when he saw Fu Huai.

It’s the prince again!

Does this prince have an affair with Boss Su? Why does he come to help Boss Su again and again?

His expression was even more difficult to describe.

"That……"

Seeing that Fu Huai didn't want to reveal his identity, but didn't want to offend him too much, Lin Yong remained silent for a moment and asked tentatively, "How many days do you think it would be appropriate for me to give you a grace period?"

Fu Huai did not answer.

He just tapped the armrest of the wheelchair and raised his hand to gesture.

Lin Yong understood and quickly said, "Then three days. I can only give you three days at most."

Su An was suddenly delighted.

Because she had her back to Fu Huai, she didn't notice the interaction between Fu Huai and Lin Yong. She only knew that after going through so many twists and turns, she thought there was no way out, but there was always a way out. She was saved!

Three days is enough for her to find some clues and give the public an explanation!

"Thank you, County Magistrate! You are so wise!"

Su An smiled attentively as he sent Lin Yong and the soldiers away. He turned around and hurried forward to push Fu Huai's wheelchair. "Hurry, hurry, we have to find the real culprit as soon as possible!"

Although three days is not a short time, they cannot be lax at all, especially since they don’t know where to start the investigation.

They went to the backyard and saw Xie Qingfeng testing the specific composition of the poison. Su An suddenly had an idea and immediately let go of his hand, looking at the chopsticks in Xie Qingfeng's hand with shining eyes.

"Whatever the poison is, it must be made up of a combination of herbs, right?"

Xie Qingfeng paused and glanced at her in surprise, "Boss Su is smart, that's true."

Su An's eyes suddenly brightened, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, then we will start by investigating the ingredients of the poison, and then ask each shop one by one to see who bought these herbs."

In this way, wouldn’t it be easy to find the real murderer?

Fu Huai, who was left behind, pushed his wheelchair forward at this time. His face turned cold and he glanced at Xie Qingfeng coldly.

Xie Qingfeng curled his lips, too busy with work to bother complaining.

It was none of his business that he was left behind by Boss Su!

Then he seriously agreed with Su An's words: "It is indeed a good idea."

A hammer is fixed.

Su An immediately got busy. Because there were not enough people, she even borrowed a few guards from Fu Huai.

Although she was not sure about Fu Huai's identity, she knew that everyone under him had their own strengths and was extremely useful and efficient.

She was not idle either. Relying on the goodwill she had accumulated during this period, she asked all the shops in the front and back of the street, and she actually asked her some questions.

"The day before yesterday, there was indeed a very strange old woman. She covered her face tightly and went to Ping'an Pharmacy with a basket on her shoulder."

"She originally wanted to come to my place for a bowl of noodles, but when I asked her what kind of noodles she wanted, she didn't want to say anything, as if she was afraid of revealing something. It was very strange..."

Su An laughed immediately.

It's good to be weird.

Weird means suspicious, and he went to the pharmacy, which is too coincidental. It is most likely the person she is looking for!

As a thank you, Su An gave the noodle shop owner a few more copper coins when paying the bill, and then pushed Fu Huai to Ping'an Pharmacy.

Today they seemed to be out for a stroll, but in fact they were looking for clues everywhere. Because they were traveling together, this handsome man and beautiful woman would easily be teased by passers-by, but no one would be wary of them.

This allowed them to find out something.

When he arrived at Ping'an Store, Su An immediately found the owner of the store and asked him if he had seen such an old woman.

Because of this person's peculiar appearance and strange behavior, the drugstore owner was actually somewhat impressed by him. "Yes, there really is such a person."

He described it in a bit more detail than the noodle shop owner, raising his hand to indicate her height. He then said, "She's probably an old woman of this height. Although her head is covered tightly, her exposed eyes have noticeable fine lines, and the backs of her hands are dry and rough, indicating she's quite old."

"What you're wearing isn't very nice, but the herbs you bought are quite expensive..."

As he spoke, he listed out the herbs that the old woman had bought, one by one. Surprisingly, they were the herbal ingredients that Xie Qingfeng had analyzed in advance.

The case has been solved, this person is the real murderer they are looking for!

Su An couldn't contain his excitement and raised his voice: "Then do you know where this person went after leaving the store?"

This put the drugstore owner in a difficult position. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "I'm so busy all day long that I'm completely lost. How could I possibly notice where the person who bought the medicine went? I only remembered her because she looked odd and a little sneaky."

Hearing this, Su An was not discouraged.

In fact, she had a vague guess in her mind as early as the drugstore owner began to describe it.

With such height, figure, and roughly the same age, there is only one person - He Wangshi!

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Fu Huai, but she saw that Fu Huai had already guessed what she was thinking. He raised his hand to signal Zhou Li, who was not far behind, "Go and bring He Wangshi over."

Whether it is true or not, the drugstore owner can tell at a glance.
