After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Qi Sizhi strode forward, examined it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a single hair?"

Pei Shaoqing nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's right, this is a dyed hair."

After saying that, he took out the water bottle he carried with him from his pocket, slowly poured a little water into his hand, and gently rubbed it. Black dye fell off in a rustling sound, revealing its original color, which was actually a silver-white hair.

Xiao Ran examined it carefully for a while, and then understood it immediately.

This is a low-quality dye made from indigo and he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum). This dye needs to be applied daily to maintain its color; otherwise, it will fade as it appears now.

"However, what does that prove..." Qi Sizhi scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"This means that the child was indeed abducted by someone, and it was a woman with gray hair," Xiao Ran pondered.

Pei Shaoqing immediately cast a scrutinizing glance at him, but it wasn't long before he figured it out.

Qi Sizhi was still completely baffled. How could he see so much from just a single hair?

"Because of Qingdai?" Pei Shaoqing asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Ran nodded slightly, then looked around to see if there were any other clues.

Pei Shaoqing stood still, pondering the key to the matter.

Indigo, a color long cherished by women, was a commonly used cosmetic. It was used for drawing eyebrows, coloring nails, and was especially favored by women in the capital. Its rich color and delicate texture made it ideal for enhancing a woman's makeup, resulting in a more refined and captivating appearance.

But it was precisely because this item belonged only to women that he overlooked its other uses.

Is it because Miss Xiao is a woman that she understands this so clearly?

During the investigation, Xiao Ran felt a strange, indescribable feeling arise spontaneously.

"Have you noticed anything strange?" she asked.

Pei Shaoqing put down the old lamp in his hand, slowly raised his eyes, and replied, "No."

"This house looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, and it's located in a dirty street, so why would a child come here alone?" Xiao Ran asked, full of doubt.

Following the memory of the previous interrogation, Pei Shaoqing said, "The child's mother gave a statement saying that she was about to enter the city that day when, in the blink of an eye, the child disappeared without a trace. Finally, the headband left behind by the child was found in this abandoned house."

"How can she be so sure that the forehead ribbon is from her child?" Xiao Ran asked again.

“The child’s mother is a renowned embroiderer in the capital. This headband was made by her own hand, so there’s no way it could be wrong,” Pei Shaoqing replied.

Since the forehead band was so unique, why didn't the woman who abducted the child notice it?

Or was the situation so urgent that she didn't even notice?

Xiao Ran nodded slightly and then asked, "Have the people from the Dali Temple found any other houses nearby?"

"No... because there was a malaria outbreak here, and the nearby residents all moved to the west," Pei Shaoqing said.

Qi Sizhi suddenly remembered something and shouted, "It was two years ago! Malaria suddenly broke out in the capital. In order to isolate the people, the government transferred some of the people who had malaria to outside the capital for centralized treatment, but in the end they were not cured... so this place was called Dirty Street."

Xiao Ran saw that Pei Shaoqing seemed thoughtful after hearing these words, and his expression became much more serious.

She sneered.

Ha, this is hardly centralized treatment?

This is clearly just gathering poor people who can't afford medical bills together to die.
