Mystery Collection 2

When Gu Tingxi woke up, the nurse who pulled out the needle had just left, and there was a hot water bottle under him. Aunt Shen was handing a water cup to Xie Rumeng, who was in the next bed. When she saw that he was awake, she came over and asked him: "You are awake, do you want a drink?" water?"

Gu Tingxi nodded, and took a sip of the water glass: "How are my brother and the others?"

Aunt Shen's expression was very solemn, and he sighed faintly: "The doctor said it was food poisoning, but everyone else is fine, it's Miss Jing..."

"What's wrong with my cousin?" Gu Tingxi put down his glass and asked.

Xie Rumeng on the bed next to her also turned her head to look over, waiting for Aunt Shen to continue.

Aunt Shen wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are still fine, but the child is gone."

Xie Rumeng suddenly raised her voice: "What did you say!"

Aunt Shen cried tremblingly: "When she was sent to the hospital, she had a miscarriage, and the baby was not kept."

Gu Tingxi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Where is it, I'll go and see her."

Aunt Shen quickly pressed him down: "Don't go, she just had the operation and hasn't woken up yet, and now she's asleep."

Gu Tingxi frowned and sighed irritably. He sat back on the bed and glanced at Xie Rumeng. He was surprised to find that her expression was very strange. It was neither sad nor regretful, but a hint of anger.

Gu Tingxi looked at her inexplicably, and at this moment heard Aunt Shen say: "How could this good-looking person get food poisoning, that hotel should be closed! It's just too hateful!"

Mentioning this matter, Gu Tingxi had some doubts in his mind, "Aunt Shen, have you drank the borscht?"

Aunt Shen thought for a while before she came to her senses. She nodded her head and said, "I drank it. This is really strange. I also ate a lot of food. How come I didn't get poisoned."

"Did you drink?" Gu Tingxi asked in surprise.

Aunt Shen recalled for a while and said: "I drank it, I am sure I drank it. When the dishes were delivered, they were a little cold. I reheated a few dishes, especially the borscht. I still remember it. I took two sips of it and tasted it, the soup in this winter has to be hot, and I only serve it after it has been warmed up."

The more Gu Tingxi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He was already having a fever, and he might be a little weak, but he remembered that his brother had only taken two sips before he obviously showed symptoms of food poisoning. It is impossible for Aunt Shen to be fine.

"Then what happened later, did you drink it after it was served?" Gu Tingxi asked again.

Aunt Shen stared at him blankly, and said after a while: "I don't remember clearly, maybe maybe not, I really don't remember much."

Gu Tingxi stopped asking about this matter, and instead asked: "Where's my brother, which ward is he in? I'll go and see him."

"It's next door, be careful." Aunt Shen worriedly stepped forward to help him.

"It's okay, here, return the hot water bottle."

"I didn't bring this hot water bottle." Aunt Shen said, "It was brought to you by a man with long hair. He took care of you in the ward for a while. He seems to be your brother's friend. He is next door now."

Gu Tingxi was stunned, Nangong is here?He didn't know if Han Chen was here, but when he thought of this, he jumped out of bed without feeling sick, and quickly ran to the next door.

------

Gu Siqian leaned on the back of the bed, silently looking at Nangong Fanjia's profile.

Fast forward ten years, Fan Jia, who was once naive and shy, has become sharp and handsome, but the only thing that remains the same is his cunning and tenacity that has always been hidden under his skin.

Gu Siqian can't tell whether this change is good or bad, but there is no doubt that their fate is tightly tied together by a thread, and they will always return to each other when they separate and reunite.

Nangong crossed his legs and peeled the apple gracefully, as if he was treating a work of art slowly.

The red apple peel was peeled off in a threaded shape, and with his final cut, the whole piece fell into the trash can.

Nangong picked up the apple and took a bite slowly. Seeing that Gu Siqian's face turned dark after the bite, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "You want to eat too?"

Gu Siqian shook his head: "You eat."

Nangong bit an apple and sneered, "I thought you were going to die when I was called all of a sudden."

Gu Siqian didn't speak, but suddenly frowned, with a trance expression showing some struggle and confusion.

"what happened?"

Gu Siqian's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse: "I regret it... When I saw Tingting lying there motionless today, I only had one thought in my mind, I think he is alive and healthy, there is no Wrong, I can sacrifice for our plan, and you can too, but we haven't asked him if he wants to! Including Han Chen, no one has asked him if he wants to!"

"But you know that from the very beginning, he can't stay out of it. We have built a complex and safe lock for him with the efforts of countless people. Every living or sacrificed person is a cog in this lock. , he is the key that unlocks all the keys, which was not up to us from the beginning."

Gu Siqian slightly curled his mouth, why didn't he know this, but tonight, he seemed to have returned to the day when Gu Tingxi was lying in the ward ten years ago, and he suddenly realized that all the plans were not as good as his brother's life It was important, but in the end, Han Chen was the hardest-hearted person.

Gu Siqian adjusted his sleeping position, nodded stiffly and said, "I have a sense of proportion."

Nangong Fanjia squinted at him: "It's not telling him to die now, why are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail?"

Gu Siqian sighed heavily, and glanced at him faintly: "Give me a bite of apple."

"The doctor said that you can only eat liquid food for the time being, bear with it."

"Then you chew it up and give it to me."

Just when Nangong was about to kill him, Gu Tingxi pushed open the door, poked his head out, and asked softly, "What are you guys doing?"

Nangong Fanjia looked at him in confusion.

Gu Tingxi made sure that the two of them were not doing anything shady, so he pushed open the door and walked in. His brother was sitting on the bed in good order, but his head was sleeping dimly on the other bed. He opened his mouth and asked, "Where's Brother Chen?"

Gu Siqian's face turned blue, he was still lying on the bed, the brat asked Han Chen when he entered the door.

Nangong smiled slowly: "I happened to pass by and heard that you had food poisoning so I came to see it. I didn't tell Han Chen, so you can call him yourself."

Gu Tingxi scratched his head: "So that's the case, don't tell him, lest he worry about it, brother, are you okay?"

Gu Siqian smiled comfortingly: "I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine except that I was disgusted by being forced to drink a bottle of vinegar by you." Gu Tingxi frowned and asked, "But I really can't figure it out, my dear brother, why don't you drink vinegar for me?" what?"

Gu Siqian glanced at him, and said unhurriedly, "Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Gu Tingxi sighed speechlessly, suddenly remembered the matter of Gu Jing, and his mood suddenly fell down, "Brother, do you know about the matter of my cousin?"

Gu Siqian pinched the center of his brows: "I already know, this time's matter may not be as simple as an accident."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't take a sip of the dishes on the table except borscht and red wine, but you didn't drink the red wine, so the problem must be borscht, but you and I only took a sip of this bowl of soup Something happened, the dose of this poison is probably not light."

Gu Tingxi thought for a while and said: "The general source of food poisoning is pesticide residues. Even if the hotel's vegetables are not washed after they are bought, they should not be so severe after being diluted with soup. By the way, I remembered one thing."

Gu Siqian looked up at him.

"When the hotel delivered the dinner, Aunt Shen also drank borscht soup, but nothing happened to her. There was a problem when she served the soup after she heated it up." Gu Tingxi frowned, "That is to say Someone tampered with the soup during the heating project of the borscht soup."

After much deliberation, Gu Tingxi couldn't think of who would poison him, and then he asked Aunt Shen some questions, but Aunt Shen's answers were confused, which made him confused.

Datou was still falling asleep dizzily, Gu Tingxi could only wait for him to wake up before asking him, besides Aunt Shen, Datou was the only one who had been in the kitchen since the meal was delivered.

Gu Tingxi was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't sleep no matter what, after thinking about it, he still dialed Han Chen's number.

He didn't want to tell Han Chen these bad things, but he missed him very much, and wanted to hear his voice so badly. As soon as the call was connected, his nose became sore, and he asked pitifully, "What are you doing?"

"Just got off the plane, are you sick?"

"It's almost done. Are you going out? Are you going to investigate the case?"

Han Chen was walking on the road and turned into a small alley, "Didn't I tell you before? You should take good care of your illness and come to me when you recover."

"Oh, then you send me the address first, and then send me a photo, I miss you."

Hearing Han Chen's chuckle coming from the phone, Gu Tingxi blushed so much that she almost buried her face in the pillow. Xie Rumeng, who was in the next bed, gave him a curious look. Gu Tingxi turned her back quickly, lowered her voice and talked to Han Chen say.

"I haven't arrived at the destination yet, and I'm not sure about the address yet. I'll send it to you when it's confirmed."

"Yeah, then you send me a photo first, only the handsome one."

Han Chen really laughed at his childishness, promised to send him a photo later, and then hung up the phone after a few words of consolation.

A disheveled beggar squatted at the entrance of the alley. He straightened his legs and almost blocked the alley that was only wide enough for one person.

Han Chen threw 110 dollars on him.

The beggar counted the money slowly, and said hoarsely, "The more than 100 dollars now is incomparable with ten years ago." Trembling, he took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Han Chen: "130 No. [-] .”

"Thank you." Han Chen took the key and went into the depths of the alley, and found the house number that the beggar told him in the deep alley.

He looked around, stood at the door for a while, and then walked straight to No. 130. He inserted the key into the door but did not turn it immediately, but knocked lightly on the door.

The door was slowly opened, followed by Assistant Tang's guarded and vigilant eyes.

Han Chen bent down to get into the old house with a height of only 1.7 meters. He sat down at the table and said softly, "Uncle, long time no see."
