Summarize
In the latest episode of “Apothecary Diary”, some interesting content was revealed! People were talking all over town about a big fire that had recently occurred. Lihaku, a man not known for solving things, surprisingly solved the case. Rumors began to spread that a maid working for Lord Jinshi played a key role in figuring things out.
Then the rumors turned to Lord Jinshi himself. He bought a courtesan from House Verdigris. People say that she is not only beautiful but also super smart, and her cool attitude makes her attractive. Mr. Lakan was curious and wanted to know more about this prostitute.
But before we can delve deeper into the prostitute mystery, the main story turns to a poisoning case. A government official fell ill after eating puffer fish and vegetables. Mr. Gaoshun asked Xiaomao to help investigate the case. Xiaomao discovered that the same thing happened ten years ago to a merchant family.
The patients in both cases shared a love of expensive foods, especially raw fish and puffer fish. Despite chefs’ claims that they do not use puffer fish in every meal, surveys show otherwise. This aroused suspicion, so Lord Gaoshun and Xiaomao decided to go to the mansion where the latest poisoning occurred.
Xiaomao thinks that to make seaweed safe to eat, it may need to be soaked in lime water. Surprisingly, when participating in the research, Mr. Jinshi confirmed that the seaweed was imported. Mr. Jinshi bravely tried eating processed seaweed to confirm Xiaomao’s theory.
The investigation found that the official’s younger brother was responsible for the poisoning. Besides wanting attention, he also felt left out compared to his brother, so he did so. The case was resolved, shedding light on the complexities of family relationships and the possible effects of attention-seeking behavior.
That’s not the end of the episode. An interesting conversation between Mr. Jinshi and Mr. Lakan marked its end. An interesting testimony left by a jeweler who had recently passed away to the court attracted the interest of Lord Lakan. It will contain a hidden method that Mr. Lakan hopes Xiaomao can help him find.
The episode consists of two main parts: one involving a fire and a clever maid and the other involving a food poisoning incident involving luxury food. Lihaku stunned everyone by solving the fire case and there were whispers that a maid had a hand in it.
Lord Jinshi bought a prostitute and spread word of mouth about her special characteristics. The focus then turned to a case involving a person who became ill from eating puffer fish and vegetables. Xiaomao and Sir Gaoshun investigate to find similarities with a case ten years ago.
