Chapter 69 Inexplicable Drowning
A dense crowd of onlookers gathered beside the moat.
It is said that someone was drowning. When he was found, there was only a head left on the river. Several young people with good water skills went down to the river to fish it out, but they couldn't fish it out.
Later, the government sent a ship. Although more salvage manpower was added, there was still no news at this time.
Shen Zhou didn't know at first that the man who fell into the water was Dr. Chen. He was told by the yamen officer on the bridge who was directing the salvage. The man who fell into the water was an old man and he was holding a medical book in his hand.
The medical book floated on the water, so they picked it up and placed it on the stone pier beside the bridge.
Shen Zhou read the medical book carefully. It was the same book that Dr. Chen had read repeatedly in the past few days. There were oil stains on the corners of the book that he accidentally stuck on when delivering food yesterday.
Then he hurried back and informed Wen Wan.
“Spring has just begun, and the water in the river is so cold that it’s so cold that I can’t save him for so long. I can’t even imagine the consequences.”
Wen Wan's face turned pale with anxiety, she forced herself to calm down, and quickly asked Shen Zhou to call Shouhou next door.
Agui came over soon. When he heard about this, he immediately sent a carrier pigeon to inform Shen Yu.
Wenwan wants to go to the moat with them, but Agui dares to agree.
"Miss Xiaowan, there are a lot of people on the other side of the moat right now. It's inconvenient for your eyes now. If you turn around and get hit again, it will be another trouble. You should stay at home. As soon as we have news, we will find someone to help you. Come back with the letter, okay?”
Wen Wan also knew that she couldn't help, but waiting at home wouldn't make her more anxious.
While several people were talking, Shen Yu rode his horse to a stop in front of the courtyard gate.
When Agui saw Shen Yu, he was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise: "Why did you come so fast? The carrier pigeons were released just a while ago."
Hearing this, Shen Yu explained casually, "I happened to be passing by West Street and saw the pigeon, so I came over to take a look first."
Fortunately he came over.
Wen Wan listened to the voice and stretched out her hand in his direction, her fingertips trembling.
"Dr. Chen, something happened. Hurry up and take a look."
When Shen Yu heard this, his face darkened and he immediately responded.
He thought for a while and then said: "I will take Agui over there, and you and Shen Zhou will check Dr. Chen's room."
Wen Wan nodded in agreement.
Shen Yu asked Agui to set off, "Talking as we walked, no matter how big or small the matter was."
Agui briefly told the story of Dr. Chen falling into the water. After that, he gave Shen Yu a thumbs up.
"General, you still have the means to make Miss Xiaowan stay willingly on the grounds of checking the room."
He sighed and said, "You don't know that Miss Xiaowan insisted on going to the moat earlier. I was worried about her safety and even tried to persuade her to stay in the yard, but she refused."
Shen Yu paused and turned to look at him, "Do you think I found a reason?"
Agui: "It's difficult, isn't it?"
Shen Yu sneered, "Of course not. Dr. Chen's identity is sensitive. He just accidentally slipped and fell into the water. If not, then the room where he stayed for a few days may leave clues."
I see.
Agui suddenly realized it, and he admired the general even more.

Dr. Chen had a hurried journey when he came. He didn't bring much luggage, so except for two packages and a medicine box, there weren't many things belonging to him in the room.
Shen Zhou carefully inspected every item, describing it to Wen Wan while inspecting it.
"Two packages, one contains a change of clothes and the other contains medical books."
Shen Zhou flipped through the medical books and found a few prescriptions from one of them.
"Huh?" Shen Zhou looked at the pen and ink, "These prescriptions seem to be newly written." Wen Wan sat on the chair next to her. After hearing this, she asked softly: "What prescriptions?"
"Uh..." Shen Zhou touched the back of his head in embarrassment, with a guilty look on his face, "These prescriptions all have names on them, including Linfang to aid pregnancy, Xiantian Guiyi Decoction, Lisheng Decoction, Fertility Aid Decoction, Wenyang seed soup, and Angelica and Atractylodes root soup..."
The names of these recipes are really...
At first glance, he wanted to nurse her back to give birth to a child for Shen Yu.
Dr. Chen is really dedicated to Shen Yu. He has been studying these prescriptions in the room these days?
Wenwan didn't know what to say for a moment.
But when she thought about Doctor Chen's life and death, she became more and more panicked.
Apart from these few recipes, there is nothing special in the room.
Wen Wan asked Shen Zhou to move the bench in the yard so that when Shen Yu and the others came back, they would know the news as soon as possible.
Two hours later, they finally came back.
But when they returned, the sound of gongs and drums also sounded in the alley.
Weddings and funerals must have a sound. Now what does this sound mean? Wen Wan immediately understood that Dr. Chen was afraid that something unexpected had happened.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Sure enough, a group of people carried the coffin into the yard.
Shen Yu arranged for people to decorate the mourning hall, and asked Shen Zhou to cook dinner for everyone.
He slowly came to Wen Wan, rubbed his hands, and then took her hands.
Wen Wan stiffened, "Doctor Chen..."
He couldn't bear to let her tell the cruelest thing, "Well. The body of the drowning man was fished out, and it's Dr. Chen."
After Wen Wan heard this, her nose became sore and her tears fell down.
The person who was still alive in the morning, the old man who was joking with her yesterday, actually disappeared after saying no.
Life is unpredictable and always makes people sad and sad.
Wen Wan's voice was slightly choked, "Is it just drowning?"
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, "On the surface, it looks like he just drowned. There are no other external injuries on his body."
The reason why I can't say for sure is because there were no external injuries. It doesn't mean that you can't stun the person first and then push him into the water.
Shen Yu asked again: "Did you find anything in Doctor Chen's room?"
Wen Wan shook her head, "No. There is only one recipe to induce pregnancy."
Shen Yu frowned tightly and was silent for a long time before saying: "Maybe it was just an accident? But no matter what, I will find out the truth of the matter."
Wen Wan was noncommittal, but she was extremely perceptive. From Shen Yu's tone, it seemed that there might be something hidden in it?
Shen Yu raised his hand to wipe her tears.
"A dead person cannot be resurrected. Now that it has happened, we will let him have a clean life. I will let Shouhou handle Dr. Chen's funeral."
Wen Wan asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to notify his family?"
Shen Yu's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "Doctor Chen is alone, childless and has no one to die with."
Chen Yuanshi is a doctor who regulates the body of the emperor and empress. He has a sensitive status. When he was in the imperial capital, he never had many friends, and his relationship with any family was distant.
Even the Shen family was only close to him because they knew him well before he entered the Taiyuan Hospital in his early years.
After hearing this, Wen Wan felt a little uncomfortable and didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "By the way, where is Dr. Chen's junior brother? Have you found him? When he went out this morning, he seemed to be looking for her junior brother."
