close mad son-in-law

Of course Xu Qiang didn't know that the Second Elder was coming.

He is now in the master's study, looking at a tiger ornament on the master's desk, which is carved from expensive golden silk ebony.

The carving is very exquisite, which fully displays the momentum of the tiger.

The tiger's two eyes are inlaid with two expensive opals, which add some power to the tiger.

"Does the owner like antiques very much?" Xu Qiang asked.

"I like it, but the head of the family doesn't have much free time. Most of the time is busy with the family, and occasionally he has time to look at antiques." Meng Chaosheng, the elder of Meng, explained to Xu Qiang that he had also investigated Xu Qiang and knew about Yu Qiang. The attainments in antiques are very high.

If Xu Qiang hadn't been engaged in the antique industry, he would definitely become No.1 in Bingcheng Antiques.

Xu Qiang has only been in the antique circle for a few months, and he has caused a bloody storm in the antique circle, and even caused the two presidents of the Antique Association to fall.

Of course, Meng Chaosheng would not ignore such a great achievement.

"The Tiger Ornament, a nice Qing Dynasty antique, when did the owner buy it?" Xu Qiang asked suddenly.

"Let me think about it, I remembered, it wasn't bought by the owner, but given by the second elder." The elder quickly remembered.

From the second elder?

Hearing what the Great Elder said, Xu Qiang smiled meaningfully, and didn't say much.

He patted the tiger's head, just lightly, and it didn't seem to have any destructive power at all.

However, with just this light slap, the two eyes and the two cat's eyes of the Tiger Ornament fell off.

Meng Chaosheng frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.

Isn't this sabotage?
But thinking about the purpose of Xu Qiang's visit today, to see a doctor for the Patriarch, he endured it again.

The tiger ornaments are precious, but compared to treating the Patriarch's illness, the tiger ornaments are not worth mentioning, so what if they are given to Xu Qiang?
"I think I have discovered the cause of the Patriarch's physical problems."

"What's the reason?" Hearing Xu Qiang's words, Meng Chaosheng immediately forgot about the fierce tiger's fight.

The most important thing is the body of the Patriarch!
"It's them, they are the culprits!" Xu Qiang held two opals in his right hand, which were the two top-quality opals.

Under the light, the two opals are extraordinarily beautiful.

"Are you sure you read it right?" Meng Chaosheng looked at Xu Qiang.

The two opals that Xu Qiang held in his palm looked very normal to Meng Chaosheng. They were just two opals. Can opals harm people?

"Of course I read it right!" Xu Qiang was full of confidence.

"So there is something wrong with these two opals?"

"There is indeed a problem!"

"what is the problem?"

"If I say it with empty teeth, you may not believe it. We might as well do an experiment, and we need you to prepare something." Xu Qiang knew that if he didn't show something real, and Meng Chaosheng was not allowed to see it with his own eyes, it would be almost impossible. It was impossible to convince Meng Chaosheng.

To come up with something real, you need some auxiliary supplies.

Xu Qiang didn't have it on him, so he had to let Meng Chaosheng solve it.

"What do you want me to prepare?"

"A bottle of wine, a bottle of vinegar, and a pot of brewed tea!" Xu Qiang asked.

"Is that all?" Meng Chao was full of question marks?

What do you want wine for? Do you want to drink?

Even if it’s not for drinking, what’s the use of vinegar?
"By the way, prepare two more opals and send them together!"

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away!" Meng Chaosheng was full of doubts.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare, and within a few minutes, everything was ready. Meng Chaosheng looked at Xu Qiang, waiting for Yu Qiang's explanation.

Xu Qiang asked Meng Chaosheng to drive everyone else out, saying that you only had him and Meng Chaosheng left.

"Next, you have to watch carefully, don't miss it!" Xu Qiang took a teacup with a smile and poured some wine into it.

Then, pour in an equal amount of vinegar.

After mixing the vinegar and wine, he took the teapot next to him and poured some tea.

"What are you mixing vinegar, wine, and tea for?" Meng Chaosheng, who was watching quietly from the side, was confused by Xu Qiang's actions.

I have never heard of any special effects of mixing these three together!
But he is sure that the taste must be very strange, and he will never forget it once he tastes it.

"Put in one of the opals you got someone to find!" After preparing two cups of the same liquid, Xu Qiang asked Meng Chaosheng to put the opal in one of the cups.

Meng Chaosheng complied, and the opal was put in.

Wait quietly, 3 minutes!

Nothing has changed, the color of the liquid in the glass has not changed, and the opal has not changed at all.

Meng Chaosheng was not surprised by this at all, he had expected it a long time ago.

No matter wine, vinegar, or tea, they are not very corrosive, nor do they have strong staining ability.

Putting the opal in it, of course, it cannot be corroded or stained.

"Look at mine!" Xu Qiang put an opal in his hand, which was taken from a tiger ornament, into another cup.

Isn't yours also an opal?
Hearing Xu Qiang's words, Meng Chaosheng didn't take it seriously. Could it be that the same opal produces different phenomena?

He guessed it right!

Put Xu Qiang's opal in, and the mixed liquid in the teacup, which is a mixture of wine, vinegar, and tea, starts to change color immediately.

It was only light red just now, but after the opal was put in, the color quickly deepened, and finally turned dark red, even slightly black.

How could this be?
Meng Chaosheng leaned forward in disbelief, and almost put his eyes on the two teacups, looking carefully.

He was sure that Xu Qiang had no chance to tamper with.

Because he has been staring at Xu Qiang closely, he can see every movement clearly without any omissions.

"Xu Qiang, can you explain now?" Meng Chaosheng also realized that there was something wrong with the opal used as the tiger's ornamental eyes.

"Actually, it's very obvious. I believe you can guess that the two opals that are the eyes of the tiger decoration have been tampered with!"

"You mean that the Patriarch's illness has something to do with these two opals?" Meng Chaosheng immediately realized.

If there is no purpose, you will not tamper with the opal for no reason.

"Of course it's related, it's directly caused by these two opals!" Xu Qiang directly revealed the truth.

When he entered the study room just now, he inhaled in one breath, and felt that there was a substance slightly interfering with his bodily functions.

However, as an extraordinary and strong man, his body functions far surpassed that of ordinary people, and the harmful substances he inhaled were quickly metabolized.

At that time, he guessed that it might be the substance he inhaled just now that caused the Patriarch of the Meng family to suffer from physical problems.

He searched and searched, and found the culprit, the opal.

"What the hell is going on?"

"In fact, the principle is very simple. Some substances can cause problems with human body functions and prevent the body from absorbing nutrients. However, they are not poisonous. Someone smears this substance on the surface of the opal and repeats it many times to form a transparent shell. This substance has the characteristic of slow volatilization, and it will continue to volatilize for a period of time!"

"You mean that after being volatilized, it will be inhaled into the body of the Patriarch, which will affect the bodily functions of the Patriarch, leading to a large loss of nutrition?" Meng Chaosheng is also a smart person, so he didn't need Xu Qiang to finish, he guessed what Xu Qiang wanted to say , also guessed how the Patriarch went wrong.

Such a method of poisoning is simply impossible to guard against.

Because the substance applied on the surface of opal has no color, no taste, and will only volatilize slowly.

"Yes!"

"As you said, the tiger ornaments have been placed in the study for a long time, but anyone who enters the study will be recruited. The Meng family has many people who can enter the family study. How could they not be recruited?" Meng Chao Sheng suddenly had another major doubt.

The volatilization of the substance on the surface of the opal must have filled the entire study.

No matter who comes in, as long as he breathes, he will definitely inhale, and he will be recruited like the owner of the house.

However, in fact, the entire Meng family recruited only the head of the family.

how to explain?

"Toxicity and poisoning are two different things. To be recruited, there are two prerequisites. One is poisonous, and the other is to accumulate a certain amount. The owner is recruited because he spends a long time in the study every day and accumulates enough in his body. This will cause him to have metabolic problems and not be able to absorb nutrients, and you, will you stay in the master's study for a long time?" Xu Qiang asked back.

Meng Chaosheng shook his head immediately, why did he stay in the master's study for so long?

They all come to discuss matters, at most one or two hours, and the most common problem is to solve the problem within half an hour.

According to Xu Qiang, even if they inhaled a certain amount of special substances, it would not be enough to affect the body.

The owner of the house is different, the study is his daily work place, and he has to stay in the study for a long time every day, so he is the only one who was recruited.

Meng Chaosheng accepted Xu Qiang's explanation.

"I'll throw them out right away, no, seal them up and keep them as evidence!" Meng Chaosheng slapped the table.

The problem was finally found out!

Find out the root cause of the Patriarch's physical problem, and solve the problem much easier.

He believed that since Xu Qiang could find out the problem, he should solve it, and the Patriarch was fine.

"Wait, you can't take it away yet..." Xu Qiang stopped suddenly.

"why not?"

"You told me just now that the tiger ornament was given by the second elder, right?" Xu Qiang asked with a smile.

Meng Chaosheng nodded, it was indeed given by the second elder.

He was there at the time, and the Patriarch liked the tiger decoration very much, so he placed it on the table and has not touched it until today.

"Will the second elder come after the head of the family has a health problem?"

"Occasionally!" Meng Chaosheng suddenly understood, Xu Qiang stopped him because of the second elder.

The Tiger Ornament was sent by the Second Elder, and the Patriarch had a physical problem because of the tiger display, which meant that the Second Elder was very suspected of being poisoned.

If the Second Elder poisoned him, what would he think if he found the Tiger Ornament missing when he came next time?
It is sure to guess that it has been discovered, and further action will be taken.

Therefore, the tiger ornament cannot be removed now.

"The problem is that if you don't take it away, the owner will continue to inhale harmful substances, and it won't get better at all!"

"Is it very difficult to find two similar opals?" Xu Qiang smiled.

"I'm making you laugh. I was only concerned about the owner's health, but I didn't think of such a simple solution. I'll send someone to find two opals to replace the ones on the tiger ornament!" Meng Chaosheng With a slap on the thigh, under Xu Qiang's reminder, he finally realized that the solution to the problem is very simple.

Since there are problems with the two opals, wouldn't it be enough to replace them with two good ones?

Even if the Second Elder came, he would not check it out blatantly. As long as he saw that the Tiger Ornament was still there, he would not think too much about it.

"Xu Qiang, since you found the problem, can you cure the Patriarch?" Meng Chaosheng asked Xu Qiang, the Patriarch's body is the most important thing!
