While speaking, Xia De looked up at the face of the maid again.
Although the girl with long black hair didn't know the specific condition of Xia De's eyes at this time, she quickly covered her cheeks:
"Mr. Hamilton, then let me try it too. I have never heard of a potion with such an effect."
Xia De thought for a while and nodded:
"Yes, but the lasting effect of the potion is not long, and I can already feel the effect fading."
He looked again at Miss Servet's nose:
"Is the skin of all witches so good? Every witch I've seen seems to have good skin. Look, your pores are very even, and your nose is black..."
Seeing her suddenly sharp eyes, Xia De consciously didn't continue talking.
So the black-haired girl also gave herself a drop of potion. Although she didn't have thaumaturgy related to eyes, she could experience the effect of enhancing eyesight.
The sensations obtained by different ring magicians are basically the same, so in this way, it can be roughly inferred that Mr. Alfred, the ophthalmologist, is absolutely impossible to be a ring magician.
Even if a rare potion with such an effect was to be tested, it would not be wasted on an ordinary person, and the doctor didn't even recycle it afterwards. Although Xia De couldn't directly evaluate the potion, the half bottle of potion he was holding in his hand now, even if it only had the effect of the current exploration, there was a high probability that someone would be willing to buy it on the black market even if it cost 1,000 pounds.
The musician who was born blind was cured, probably using this potion. But Xia De guessed that the amount of medicine used by the other party during the treatment was greater, so after recovering his vision, he could see the truth of the world more "clearly", and thus died in a madness.
Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing. In this kind of world, actually knowing and seeing less is not considered a bad thing.
When the effect of the potion on Miss Servet's right eye also faded, the two immediately set off to visit Dr. Alfred.
The ophthalmologist's office is on the street on the northern edge of Tobesk, and two blocks north from here officially leaves the city and enters the northern village belt.
This is one of the most remote locations in Tobesk, and it is normal for the client, Mr. Mandis, to not be able to find it. However, this neighborhood is not a slum. Although it is located in the northernmost part of Tobesk, due to its unique location and large-scale flow of people, this neighborhood is the center of bulk goods trading in the north of Tobesk.
Timber, food, fresh fruits and vegetables, and flowers are usually transported from the northern plains of Tobesk into the urban area, and after the transaction is settled nearby, they are distributed to all corners of the city.
Therefore, even on a Wednesday afternoon, the vicinity of Dr. Alfred's eye clinic was extremely lively.
It’s just that his clinic is not grand at all. On the left is the office building of the Sikh Granary, where a quarter of the people on this street come to do business; The private bank is mainly engaged in borrowing and currency exchange, so it has an unusual appearance.
And the ophthalmology clinic sandwiched in it, the yellow three-story building with peeling walls is narrow and dilapidated. In addition, the steam pipes and gas pipes on the left and right sides have to pass through the walls of the clinic, which makes the small building of the ophthalmology clinic look like a child huddled between two giants, or like two grand buildings. Garbage dump between buildings.
Except for people who live nearby, I am afraid that few outsiders dare to treat their eyes in this kind of place.
The door of the clinic was closed. After getting off the carriage, Xia De knocked on the door a few times, and when no one answered, he pushed the door open:
"Don't people like to close the door now? It was the same when I went to the musician's apartment yesterday. When did Tobesk's atmosphere become so good?"
He was joking with Miss Servet, and the maid thought it was open because it was an open eye clinic.
After the detective and the assistant walked in, a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing an apron who looked like he was cooking, pushed open the door on the other side of the front hall and looked at the guests in surprise:
"Hello, do you want to see your eyes? I'm Dr. Jacob Alfred. Which one is the patient?"
While talking, he took off the apron and threw it aside, carefully watching the two people who entered the door.
Xia De noticed that Dr. Alfred was wearing a very beautiful gemstone ring, which was probably a fake. This doctor did not seem to be such a wealthy person.
"Do you know Mr. Frank Bundy, the blind musician of the North Mountain Opera Company?"
Xia De stood at the door and asked, the tall and thin ophthalmologist was a little surprised at the name he mentioned, but still nodded:
"Yes, did he entrust you to get the medicine? I remember that those medicines were used up at the end of this month. Did I calculate wrong? Oh, I haven't seen him for half a month, Bundy's eyes How is it? Do you need to increase the dose..."
"he died."
Shad interrupted him.
"died?"
Of all those who heard of Mr. Bundy's death, Dr. Alfred was the most surprised:
"What? Then my experiment... sorry, when did it happen?"
"In the middle of last month, about 25 days from today."
Xia De said, and then tentatively asked:
"Don't you know about it? Or, you don't see any problem with his mental state?"
Xia De could understand this matter. The blind musician was worried that the doctor would stop supplying medicine because of his mental state. Judging from the last suicide note left by the musician, he was also afraid of returning to his original state.
"In that case. . . . I am Detective Shard Hamilton, investigating Mr. Bundy's death. This lady is my assistant. May I ask if you have a suitable place to talk here?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the doctor, and the doctor quickly wiped his hand on his clothes, and then held it up.
[Ordinary people. 】
"Oh yes, Detective, come with me. But I swear, I had absolutely nothing to do with Bundy's death!"
He led the way and led the two to the narrow study on the second floor. Dr. Alfred really didn't know what the consequences of the medicine he gave would be. He only thought that he had found a special medicine to treat eye diseases, so when he went upstairs, he couldn't help but regret Mr. Bundy's death.
In the study, Xia De sat on the sofa and told Dr. Alfred the information he had collected from the landlord, Nuoshan Opera Troupe, Three Cats Inn and Miss Mary. Today, Miss Servet followed Xia De and was mainly responsible for recording work, so every time Xia De mentioned something, she would display the corresponding records.
Of course, the record omits the part of playing the Rhodes card.
The doctor lowered his head to check the records. This tall, thin, middle-aged man in a checkered shirt was sweating more and more on his face. When Xia De finished his message, he immediately said loudly:
"No, I can guarantee that my medicine is absolutely fine!"
"What is your relationship with Mr. Bundy, the musician?"
"I asked him to test the medicine! I figured out a medicine formula myself! If I succeed, I will change the history of ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment!"
"This is the sample I got from that Miss Mary."
Shad took the flat bottle out of his pocket:
"There is still half of the liquid in it, and I think it is enough for testing at Ridwich Field."
He observed the other party's expression, then lowered his voice, as if the two parties were doing some private transaction, which made Doctor Alfred even more nervous.
"Doctor, the evidence I have at present is not good for you. Although I am not a policeman, I can also imagine how they will handle this case for convenience."
Xia De has never dealt with the police of this era, but Dr. Alfred's face became more sweaty. He opened his eyes wide and emphasized again:
"There is absolutely no hallucinogenic ingredients in this! Detective, my potion will not cause madness! I trust my potion."
"If you can convince me that I have enough information to report to the client, I will believe you and will not go to the police. But the first step, I want to know..."
Xia De put the bottle on the tea table in front of him:
"What is the composition of this potion?"
Miss Servet looked at Xia De, she thought that Xia De would tell the truth and persuade the other party to tell the information, but unexpectedly, he used half-truth and half-false threats instead.
She followed Xia De all the way here today, and she has seen Xia De treat different people in different ways to obtain information, which allowed the maid to have a fuller understanding of Xia De.
This kind of person is not at all like a fool two months ago.
"Ingredient, yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ingredients."
As he spoke, the doctor wanted to stand up and get his notebook. But Shad sat him down and sent Miss Servett to get the papers instead of the doctor.
The documents are all in this study, not only the formula of the medicine, but also the case of the blind musician and the recovery records of up to three months. Those stacked documents with densely packed letters can fully explain the long-term effect of the medicine and prove its medicinal effect.
Asking his "assistant" to check the recovery records, Xia De flipped through the formula of the medicine under the nervous gaze of the doctor.
This formula was invented by Dr. Alfred himself, and it was treated on the blind musician Bundy, which is also an experimental treatment.
This kind of unregistered drug experiment is of course illegal, and because the specific curative effect and side effects are unknown, even if Dr. Alfred succeeded in almost miraculously restoring sight to the blind man, he did not publicize his medicine, but thought about it half a year later. Confirm that there are no side effects, and then go to win honor for yourself.
This is the reason why the real client of Detective Hamilton~www.mtlnovel.com~ the blind Mr. Mandis could not find out the doctor's information from his friend Mr. Bundy. When Mr. Bundy participated in the experiment, he promised to keep it secret.
The ingredients used in the recipe are so complex that the list of ingredients alone fills up a whole notebook page. But Xia De took a closer look, and found that most of them were cheap medicinal herbs, and did not contain chemical compounds that had appeared in the steam age, which made this formula more like a wrong formula written by a crappy witch doctor.
Also, of those herbs, only two are common potion ingredients for ring warlocks. Even Xia De, a second-year student with little knowledge, knew that it was impossible for these two materials to function in this potion.
"Then what exactly are the active ingredients? It can't be the combination of ineffective ingredients that produces active ingredients, right?"
With a skeptical attitude, Xia De carefully checked the specific synthesis process behind, then frowned slightly, and looked up at the nervous doctor:
"Sorry, what is this 'red potion'?"
