On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1845 The Origin of the Hairpin

Governor Cao came with dark circles under his eyes.

But fortunately, I'm in good spirits.

Yan Ruyu invited him to sit down and asked someone to make him a pot of fruit tea. After two cups, he felt refreshed.

"Thank you, Princess." Governor Cao bowed, "My subordinates have been out looking for clues early in the morning."

"I am incompetent and murders are happening so frequently. I feel so ashamed of the people and the prince and princess."

Huo Changhe said: "You don't have to be too stressed, sir. The murderer is weird, like a ghost eye, different from ordinary people, and not everyone can prevent it."

"Speaking of which, this king also has responsibilities."

Governor Cao wanted to say something, but Huo Changhe waved his hand and said, "This time, I will investigate the case with you, my Lord."

Governor Cao was surprised and delighted, and quickly stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"To be honest, I came here to ask for help."

Huo Changhe gave him the wound pattern drawn by Yan Ruyu.

"Please look, sir. These are the wounds of the deceased drawn by the princess."

When Governor Cao saw it, he was also a little surprised: "Why is this wound so special?"

"Like a flower?"

Governor Cao suddenly thought of something: "Last time the princess asked me to check the list of common people, she also mentioned flowers. Could it be that..."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's right, so this case should also be unusual. My Lord, please remind your subordinates that while investigating the case is one thing, you should also pay more attention to safety."

"Yes, I will remember it," Governor Cao frowned as he looked at the blueprint. "I remember the wound on the victim was not big, and the murder weapon was not too thick. Could it be a decoration if it was made into this shape?"

"Although not as thick as a sword, it is also as thick as a finger," Yan Ruyu said, "women's jewelry, hairpins, and hairpins are not this thick."

Governor Cao shook his head: "No, it's not women's jewelry."

Yan Ruyu suddenly realized that decorative objects do not necessarily have to be jewelry.

"For example, belt buckles," said Governor Cao, "like the belt buckles that some rich kids have."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Yu'er doesn't pay much attention to these, so she doesn't know much."

Yan Ruyu really didn't understand these things. She even didn't recognize all the women's clothing, jewelry, and decorations.

This is indeed a direction of investigation, but she is more inclined to believe that this is a rare weapon.

Like a small dagger.

Looking down at my wrist, maybe...it'll be something like a bracelet.

In short, probably a lot.

Huo Changhe said, "Sir, you can draw a few more copies of the map. Those who search with the map will know what's going on. If they see something similar, they can pay attention and ask more questions."

"Yes."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Eat something simple. You have to eat no matter how busy you are."

Governor Cao wanted to refuse, but the food in the palace was so delicious.

"Then, I won't be polite."

While Governor Cao was eating, the sound of the appraisal results came from Yan Ruyu's space.

She exchanged glances with Huo Changanhe, turned to a secluded place, and took out the results.

What came out was the blood on the door frame, contrasting with the blood on the hairpin.

Not the same person.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. This result surprised her.

They are not the same person?

Could it be that the blood on the hairpin is the murderer's blood, and the blood on the door frame is the dead person's blood?

After reading, put it away and go to see Huo Changhe.

Governor Cao had almost finished his meal, so Huo Changhe went out with him.

Yan Ruyu also went out and first met the shopkeeper Shen of the jewelry store.

Shopkeeper Shen hadn't seen Yan Ruyu for some time and had heard about recent events. Knowing that Yan Ruyu was busy, he did not bother her rashly.

However, business in the store is still good.

At this time, he was looking at the account book in the shop. When he heard that Yan Ruyu had arrived, he hurried out to greet her.

When they arrived at the inner room, Yan Ruyu didn't beat around the bush and took out the hairpin and placed it on the table.

"Shopkeeper Shen, take a look at this hairpin."

Shopkeeper Shen looked at it carefully and wanted to pick it up, but he didn't dare to reach out for it because he saw that the color of the hairpin was a little strange.

"Use this," Yan Ruyu handed over a small magnifying glass, "Don't touch the hairpin, it's evidence."

Shopkeeper Shen nodded immediately, his expression became more serious, he took the magnifying glass with both hands, took a look at the hairpin, and couldn't help but marvel.

"This... this thing is amazing. It can magnify things."

"It can be so clear even if it is magnified so much."

"Yes," Yan Ruyu said, "This is a magnifying glass. As the name suggests, it can magnify things."

Shopkeeper Shen was amazed and became more careful, looking at the hairpin carefully.

"Shopkeeper Shen, take a look and see if this jewelry is from this shop."

After looking at it, Shopkeeper Shen shook his head and said, "Princess, this is not a piece of jewelry from our store. Although it looks good, upon closer inspection, it is still a bit rougher than the jewelry from our store. The cat's eye is of medium quality at best, and it is the leftover material cut from another large piece."

"It won't be more than a hundred dollars at most."

Yan Ruyu asked again: "In your opinion, which family should this kind of jewelry come from?"

Shopkeeper Shen smiled and said, "Princess, I know which store is good at making exquisite jewelry and precious gemstones. As for this kind of..."

“There are so many that it’s hard to count them all.”

"However, if it was really bought in a jewelry store and not a mobile stall, there is someone who might be able to tell it."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"It's A-Liang, a shop assistant in the store. His real name is Xiaoshun. Because he has a good eye and a sharp mind, he often goes to other shops to inquire. He is very familiar with the jewelry in each shop, so everyone gave him the nickname A-Liang."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that there really are top talents in every field.

"Send him."

Aliang was called over soon. He recognized the hairpin immediately as soon as he saw it, without a magnifying glass.

"Princess, shopkeeper, I recognize this hairpin. It belongs to Bai Xiaohuo. Half of the shop sells jewelry, and the other half sells embroidery thread, handkerchiefs, etc."

"Are you sure?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Ah Liang said firmly, "Yes, Princess, please look, at the top of the hairpin, there is a small thing as small as half a grain of rice, pointed, like a handle, this is because the mold they use to make jewelry is like this.

"Can't be wrong."

Yan Ruyu looked carefully and found that it was indeed there. If he hadn't mentioned it, she would not have noticed it.

Yan Ruyu handed him a red fruit and said, "Thank you, Aliang. This is for you."

"Also, you can go to Qian's Restaurant anytime and order one of their signature dishes, and put it on my account."

A Liang was very happy: "Thank you, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu achieved her goal and put away the hairpin: "You two, this matter concerns human life, so it must be kept secret and not spread to others."

The two of them stopped laughing and nodded.

"Give the magnifying glass to the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Shen was very happy and kept thanking him.

Yan Ruyu said goodbye, and Shopkeeper Shen walked her to the door. He turned around and said to Aliang, "Aliang, how about giving you one ounce of silver and letting me have the red fruit?"

Shopkeeper Shen had eaten this fruit before. It tasted good, but it also made him feel more energetic, sleep better, and feel better in every way.

Ah Liang saw that the fruits were bright red and smelled sweet, and was just planning to put them away before eating them after work. But when he heard the shopkeeper say that they could be exchanged for one or two taels of silver, his eyes lit up.

"it is good."

Shopkeeper Shen smiled happily and immediately exchanged silver with him - old people like him are more experienced.
