Chapter 412 - 264: The Medicine Thief
Chapter 264
"You just discovered it’s missing?" Ran Yan asked immediately.
A split personality, although each one was complete and independent, was ultimately pathological, with some being so extreme as to perform extreme actions, such as murder. In case it was Princess Wenxi who took it, she might kill someone who blocked her path!
Wan Lu thought for a moment and said, "These past few days, this slave has been busy leading others in cleaning the He Ya Inn and hasn’t had time to organize the medicine box. I don’t know when it went missing."
Ran Yan got up from the couch and, holding a Corner Lamp, approached the medicine box. Under the bright light, its contents were crystal clear. A layer of dust covered the bottom. It was hazy with dust, "No wonder you need to wipe it."
"Did you just touch anything inside?" Ran Yan asked.
Wan Lu shook her head, "Not yet. Since the Wife said that the items here are very important, this slave always counts them before cleaning. I just counted them, there were originally thirteen, and now there are only twelve."
"Was it the room you cleaned three days ago?" Ran Yan reached out for a bottle and saw an empty imprint on the ground, while the spot where a bottle was missing was covered in dust.
Even if the box wasn’t well sealed, it would not accumulate so much dust in half a month under normal circumstances, unless it happened during the cleaning three days ago. Since there was no trace of a newly taken bottle in the box, it could be determined that the poison had been missing for three days...
Ran Yan looked at the position of the bottle and understood. She calmly said, "It seems like it was used up."
She appeared to casually open another box, counted the items inside, then quietly returned to her bed, put down the lamp, picked up the Medical Skills book, and continued reading.
