Chapter 376 A huge conspiracy
Not long after, Qiao Changqing reappeared in the sight of Ye Fan and the other two.
"So...how's that going?"
Qiao Changqing came to a distance from Ye Fan and the other two and asked cautiously.
Ye Fan strode forward, and Liu Mengying and Lei Yu quickly followed.
"No more~"
Liu Mengying spoke first.
"really!"
Lei Yu nodded, "It really worked, Chang Qing, you are lucky, you don't have to take a bath in the pit!"
"Chang Qing, let me see the corpse spots on the back of your neck!"
At this time, Ye Fan spoke.
"The color of the livor mortis has deepened... and new livor mortis has appeared..."
After Ye Fan pulled the clothes off Qiao Changqing's neck, he frowned slightly.
"this…….."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changqing's face became extremely ugly.
"Lei Yu, do you remember our previous speculation? About you being hunted by the Hou-level assassin group!"
At this time, Ye Fan spoke again.
"Guess....hunting?"
Lei Yu reacted quickly, "Ye Fan, you mean the gouache... I was hunted down before because of that box of gouache..."
"As for gouache..."
Lei Yu's expression gradually became surprised. "Ye Fan, you don't mean... that box of gouache is related to the corpse odor... Qiao Changqing's corpse odor? This... this is unlikely, right? If Qiao Changqing hadn't run into us, he wouldn't have had anything to do with this gouache at all!"
"Big brother means that although the box of gouache was not prepared for Chang Qing, it might be prepared for someone with a similar situation to Chang Qing!"
Liu Mengying took the call.
"this………"
Hearing this, Lei Yu's expression changed drastically, "Chang Qing, who gave you that pill?"
"I………"
Qiao Changqing took a deep breath, "It's the imperial physician from the palace! I was injured when I was a child, and my health has not been very good, so my family asked the imperial physician from the palace to prescribe medicine... That kind of medicine is very expensive, and it is not something that can be bought with money!"
"what?"
Hearing this, Lei Yu was also shocked.
"Ye Fan, this pill.....it really helps me strengthen my body and replenish my spirit after I eat it..."
Qiao Changqing turned to look at Ye Fan, "Although I have corpse odor and corpse spots on my body now, I feel very energetic!"
"Let me check you again!"
As he spoke, a white aura appeared on Ye Fan's right hand, and he placed it on Qiao Changqing's wrist.
Ye Fan's inspection this time took much longer than yesterday, a full half an hour.
"call!"
Ye Fan exhaled lightly and retracted his right hand. "Chang Qing, there is indeed nothing wrong with your body, but there is one thing that is quite strange... Although you obviously feel refreshed, your brain is actually very weak... After taking the pill, you should feel tired, sleepy, and even get angry easily!"
"This... is indeed the case!"
Qiao Changqing nodded, "But after taking this kind of elixir, I usually strike while the iron is hot and practice cultivating my profound energy or refining medicine... I am often so tired that I don't want to move a finger... I fall asleep immediately..."
"Isn't this... not because of my fatigue from practicing... but because the elixir itself causes mental fatigue?"
Qiao Changqing was very keenly aware of something.
"I can't tell...but I suggest you don't take the pills given by the imperial physician..."
Ye Fan exhaled lightly, "This... always feels weird... Even if I want to achieve a certain purpose through the elixir... but simply causing corpse odor and corpse spots is meaningless..."
"Chang Qing, the corpse odor and corpse spots on your body...even without Lei Yu's watercolor, they will gradually dissipate over time, at most two months...just like the normal renewal of human hair!"
Ye Fan quickly gave his analysis.
"Ye Fan, the time of 'two months' suddenly reminded me of something..."
Qiao Changqing swallowed his saliva. "When I was in the capital before, someone got a message from the imperial physician in the palace, saying that the imperial physician had to leave for a while for something, and would not be able to supply the elixir in time, so people should take it sparingly...at least once every cycle, that is, two months..."
"Because I had enough pills, I didn't take it seriously at the time! Now that I think about it... maybe the other party didn't leave for something, but spread the news for other reasons... such as waiting until the corpse odor disappears naturally before eating..."
"In this way, even if someone who took the pills really had a corpse odor... after two months, the corpse odor would have long disappeared..."
Qiao Changqing spoke quickly.
"That's not right. The stench of a corpse is so obvious. Once it appears... unless the person is alone in a remote corner, many people will definitely know about it!"
Liu Mengying obviously has a different opinion.
"Miss Liu, the elixir I took is called Anxuan Dan. People who can get this elixir are either rich or noble..."
Qiao Changqing smiled bitterly, "Even if there is a corpse odor on his body...if he himself can't detect it, most of his subordinates will not dare to tell anyone...not to mention that the corpse odor will gradually disappear...no one will bother to make him unhappy..."
"To be honest, even if I encounter those young men in the capital who smell like corpses, I won't point it out unless I have a good relationship with them, especially in public! I will just stay away from them silently!"
After a pause, Qiao Changqing added.
"Chang Qing can't smell the stench... maybe his nose is broken... but big brother just said there's nothing wrong with him except his head!"
As she spoke, Liu Mengying looked at Ye Fan with a questioning look.
"There's really nothing wrong with Chang Qing's nose. He can't detect bad smells because he's used to it... If you throw a normal person into a very smelly place, it won't take long for him to not be able to smell the bad smells around him!"
After Ye Fan finished explaining, he looked at Lei Yu, "Lei Yu, judging from the situation of you being hunted down before and the situation of Li Junhe whose entire family was wiped out... Li Junhe must have gotten the box of powder that can remove corpse odor by coincidence... The other party probably didn't know that the powder could remove corpse odor... That's why it came into your hands..."
Liu Mengying continued, "Big brother, if you want to know about the situation of Shuifen, can you only go to find the person from Cuilin Pavilion that Lei Yu mentioned before...I think his name is Manager Ge!"
"I'm afraid that's the case!"
After saying that, Ye Fan turned his gaze towards Lei Yu, and so did Liu Mengying and Qiao Changqing.
"This... I have only met him once... I don't know his name... I can only recognize him when I see him... There are many people in Cuilin Pavilion..."
Lei Yu was a bit troubled.
"Well... just ask Song Datui!"
Ye Fan thought about it for a moment and soon came up with an idea.
"Song...Song thigh?"
"Who is that?"
Qiao Changqing and Lei Yu were confused.
"Uh... we're acquaintances, I guess..."
Song Dajiao was hiding his true identity here, so Ye Fan didn't say much. He changed the subject, "Chang Qing, Lei Yu's box of powder can remove the stench of corpses. It relies on the medicinal power to penetrate into the human body after contacting the skin. It should have the same effect if you eat it... If the stench of corpses on your body is really someone else's trick, then the powder should be one of the ingredients of the elixir... But for some reason, that person didn't add the powder to the elixir..."
"Ok!"
