[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Sickness is like giving birth to a child, you can't hide it even if you want to.

Ah Ci secretly observed his elder brother's expression and behavior, trying to find evidence from it to prove that his guess was wrong - Ah Chu always spoke half-truths and half-false words, and the illness was brought up in a hypothesis. There may be a misleading.The "arrhythmia" incident a few years ago, and the current "blood cancer" incident, are obviously digging holes for him to jump.When he fell into the trap, he said innocently: "I dug the hole to grow flowers, who knew you would jump in!"

Of course, this is the best result.Another possibility is that Ah Chu is really sick and refuses to say anything, and only uses hypothetical methods to test his reaction, then the illness must be quite difficult, and it has been out of Ah Chu's control—things that Ah Chu can't solve, God Is there anyone out there who can level it out?

Aji felt very disturbed.In any case, he had to investigate the truth himself.

That night Ah Chu was so drunk that he walked like walking on cotton.He fell onto the bed reeking of alcohol and buried his face under the pillow.

"Hey, what are you doing! Do you want to suffocate yourself?" Ah Ci removed the pillow and helped him take off his clothes and shoes. ...it's really lively!"

"...It wasn't me, someone else vomited." Ah Chu said sullenly.

"Just talk about it. If you lie and pay taxes, the company will make you lose everything!" Ah Ci threw the clothes aside, took a towel and wiped his trembling hands, "But if the company really loses everything, It saves you two days of socializing. If you drink like this, you will have problems sooner or later if you are not sick."

Ah Chu didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard the sermon, he closed his eyes to get sleepy.

"I figured it out, everything I say now is like hypnosis!" Ah Ci sighed and helped him cover the quilt.

When Ah Chu woke up the next day, he was still groggy, leaning against the head of the bed in a daze.

"Have a bad hangover?" Ah Ci handed him a glass of warm water, "Don't drink like this again. Your hands were shaking when you came back yesterday. If you drink any more, you will be poisoned by alcohol."

"Don't worry, I have a score." Ah Chu gave him a reassuring smile.

You have a spectrum, but I don't!Ah Ci frowned and thought to himself, procrastination like this is not an option, it is necessary to try to find out from other channels.So, he took advantage of his lunch break to wander to Chunhe Hospital to find Xia Yuechun to "connect with him".

……

"You are embarrassing me." Xia Yuechun spread his hands and said helplessly, "This is personal privacy. My medical ethics does not allow me to disclose anyone's physical condition to others."

Ah Ci frowned and said, "But as far as I know, family members should have the right to know."

"True. But how do you prove that you are related?"

"This still needs to be proved?" Ah Ci pointed to his face and said, "We are twins."

"Sorry, I'm short-sighted, so I can't see it." Xia Yuechun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose to prove his point.

Ah Ci saw that he was looking for an excuse to refuse, and said displeasedly: "If you can't disclose the illness without proof of relationship, why did you inform him when I was in a car accident? Why did you show him my medical examination report every year? Why? He can have privacy, but I can't!"

"If you think I have leaked your privacy, you can sue me. But it seems that the statute of limitations has passed." Xia Yuechun looked up at him, but he didn't lose the slightest momentum.

Ah Ci stared at him in a stalemate for a few seconds. Seeing that the other party still did not let go, he changed his attitude, bowed his head and said, "Actually, we are all doing it for his own good. If he is really sick, let me know some taboos about diet and rest." , can also help supervise and cooperate with treatment... Don't worry, I will not confess you no matter what."

"Don't say it so loyally, you have made me take the blame!" Xia Yuechun said with a smile.At that time, Ah Chu blamed him for revealing the identity of the chairman, which caused a quarrel between the brothers and made him unable to argue.Until now, I don't know where Yang Muci found out about it, let alone why he relied on him, "Don't wait for others to announce the answer. If you want to, go and observe it yourself."

"I don't need you to remind me, I will observe." Ah Ci knew that there was nothing new to ask, so he didn't waste any more time, "Let's go."

When he was about to walk to the door, he heard Xia Yuechun whisper again, "You have to hurry up, time is running out."

His heart sank, and he turned around and asked urgently, "What did you say?"

Xia Yuechun pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "Don't you go to work at 01:30? It's only 5 minutes away."

"Thank you for the reminder!" Ah Ci gritted his teeth and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

This conversation is not fruitless, Xia Yuechun's reaction is very abnormal.If he wanted to help Ah Chu conceal his illness, he could pretend that he didn't know about it; if Ah Chu wanted to pretend to be sick, or Xia Yuechun unilaterally fabricated something out of nothing, he could also say it as convincingly as a lie.This "I know, but I won't tell" attitude shouldn't be there anyway.From this, it can be confirmed that Xia Yuechun did not play cards in the way that Ah Chu restricted.And the "time is running out" that was mentioned intentionally or unintentionally added to the pressure on Ah Ci, as if if he didn't break through the fog, he would lose everything.

In the evening, Ah Ci dragged Ah Chu into the room, closed the door, and said in a deep voice, "I went to find Xia Yuechun today, and he told me everything. You...why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What?" Ah Chu was amused by his serious expression, "What did he tell you? You've confused me."

"Then let me explain it more clearly. He told me that you were sick, and told him to hide it from me... In your heart, am I that unreliable?" Ah Ci knew that the eldest brother didn't just cheat and cheat all of them. That kind of person, so one of the possibilities must be bet on.Even if you guess wrong, you can still rule it out based on your brother's reaction.As for Xia, he didn't apologize at all, because all this was the price of not cooperating with the investigation.He lowered his eyes and said sadly, "Now, do you still pretend to be okay in front of me?"

"What am I pretending to be?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and asked back. Seeing his younger brother's sad look, he lost his temper, "Ah Ci, don't be like this... Okay, let me confess. It's actually like this. When the illness changed my mind, Yuechun suggested that I also pretend to be sick to lie to you for your concern. I was indeed tempted at the time, but it was difficult to implement: firstly, you cared enough about me, so there is no need to make extra troubles; secondly, your observation skills are very keen , It’s easy to find flaws, and we are self-defeating; if you believe it, you will be sad, and I can’t bear it. So it’s okay to talk about it, and I didn’t discuss it again. I didn’t expect him to talk to you directly... "

"You mean, it's all Xia Yuechun playing tricks?" Ah Ci frowned and thought, according to this, Xia Yuechun's reaction can be explained.Although the person surnamed Xia didn't say those words, there was indeed an intention to scare him in his voice.

"Of course, I was also wrong. I should have clearly rejected this proposal from the very beginning, instead of discussing with him about partnering to lie to you."

"I really don't know who to believe." Ah Ci actually believed it, or he desperately hoped that what Ah Chu said was true.It's just that Xia Yuechun's phrase "time is running out" always replays in his mind, followed by a suffocating sense of fear.

"Is my credibility lower than his?" Ah Chu curled his lips and said hurtfully, "You don't even believe me when I tell the truth. It's the only time I've discussed lying with others, and you believe it before I tell you."

"But Xia Yuechun still said that time is running out..."

"Look at you, you've been fooled again! They say they lied to you, but you're serious!" Ah Chu shook his head, "What a child, he's so kind..."

……

The next day, Ah Ci rethought the whole situation, but still felt uneasy—when did Ah Chu generously admit that he was plotting against him?It took several months for the calcium and magnesium tablets to come out, and I was willing to tell the truth when I couldn't hide it.This time, why did you have to recruit quickly before the trial?But if I ask Ah Chu now, I can't get any other answer except "Are you serious? You've been fooled again."Xia Yuechun didn't even talk about it, and if he went there, he would be called "no loyalty".He tried to find Zhuiming to find out what he had seen and heard in the hospital during the fake illness, but he found nothing, so he could only go back to the old path of his own investigation.

Ah Chu's food intake has not decreased, his weight has not increased, and he has not even discounted the length of his sex life. He has no symptoms that a seriously ill patient should have at all.If you have to pick a bone in the egg, you can only say that his drinking capacity is not very good, and he usually falls asleep when he comes back from social engagements.But this can also be used as indirect evidence that he is not sick - after all, he is a doctor, so it is impossible to know that he is sick and still socialize like this.Two weeks later, Ah Ci no longer had any doubts, only felt that Xia Yuechun was troublesome and wicked, and deserved to be blamed.

However, he hadn't felt at ease for two days before the sense of uneasiness returned.

He accidentally found an extra bottle of medicine in the drawer beside the bed.I searched the English on the label on the Internet and found out that it was a sleeping pill.

Ah Ci couldn't help but wonder, elder brother eats well and sleeps well on weekdays, why does he need sleeping pills?If this is really a sleeping pill, it's fine, after all, insomnia is not a serious illness.Afraid of inconsistency, this is a common trick used by Ah Chu. For example, the "little antidote bottle" that the children believe in is full of cod liver oil capsules.To be cautious, Ah Ci took a piece of medicine and put it in his pocket, took it to the technical team, and asked Xiao Wu again to help test the ingredients.The results confirmed that the drug was indeed a sedative-hypnotic drug.

Ah Ci still felt uneasy: "Help me think about it, besides insomnia, are there any more serious illnesses that require sleeping pills?"

"Yes!" Xiao Wu replied honestly, "Psychopaths can use it to commit suicide."

"impossible!"

"What do you mean? Is it impossible to be mentally ill, or is it impossible to commit suicide?" Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What kind of case is it? Tell me in detail, so I can help you analyze it!"

"No case. It's my big... college classmate. I found out that he was secretly drinking this medicine. But he doesn't look like someone who suffers from insomnia or depression. I'm worried that he's hiding something."

"You think he is full of energy, unlike an insomniac. Maybe it's the effect of sleeping pills. In fact, you can think about it the other way around. There are two motives for taking sleeping pills. Since you rule out suicide, you're left with sleep. And a person needs If you use drugs to fall asleep, you must have sleep disorders. This obstacle can be psychological or physical. This is easy to distinguish. If he only takes this kind of medicine, it is likely to be a psychological disorder. You should advise him Go see a psychiatrist. If you are taking other medicines, there is something wrong with your body, because taking sleeping pills alone is too passive, at least you should have painkillers and the like to deal with the daytime sickness."

"You're right, it's time for me to think differently." Ah Ci narrowed his eyes, realizing that his observation of Ah Chu was too one-sided.He immediately asked Zhong Lang for leave and went to the head office of Yichao Media to carry out a surprise attack.

……

From the moment he stepped into the company's gate, Ah Ci was frequently greeted with "Mr. Yang", nodding until his neck became sore, and he was really worried about his elder brother's cervical spine.Little did they know that Ah Chu usually just snorted softly, so that he would not wrong himself in order to pretend to be friendly.

After entering the elevator, Ah Ci had a chance to raise his head and relax his neck.He looked at himself in the mirror, thankful that he had this face, otherwise he would have been reported by the guard.With Ah Chu's shrewdness, if he heard that he was coming in advance, he would definitely be on guard, so don't even try to find out anything.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, and as the two doors moved, a familiar face came into his sight.

Ah Ci put one hand in his pocket, and was about to put on the boss's posture and nod to dismiss him, but found that the person who came was Gu Xichao.Ah Ci was not sure that he could deceive him, and he didn't know how to greet him, so he simply stood still and waited and watched.

Gu Xichao smiled easily: "I'm really lucky today, I can run into you in every elevator."

"Not at all, it's not uncommon for me to take the elevator, it's easy to run into." Ah Ci was still not sure if Gu Xichao recognized him, so he could only continue the conversation in an ambiguous manner.

"But it's such a coincidence, you're not here every time I come, busy man!" Gu Xichao raised his eyebrows and put one hand on his shoulder, "Since we've met, let's have a good chat. As I said, I must thank you for the frustration education you gave us brothers."

Looking at Gu Xichao's dangerous smile, Ah Ci suspected that the words "education for setbacks" were said through gritted teeth.Obviously, this guy also regarded him as Ah Chu.But he didn't have time to argue with Gu Xichao about these grievances, so he took advantage of the moment the elevator door opened and said "I have something else to do, let's do it next time.", and jumped out quickly, almost bumping into the employee who was about to get on the elevator .

"Hey, this is the 5th floor! Didn't you press the 7th floor?" Gu Xichao pressed the door open button and called him back.

"I suddenly remembered that there are other things, goodbye." Ah Ci walked without looking back.After hearing the sound of the elevator closing, he turned his head.Very good, Gu Xichao didn't follow.He let out a breath, and finally got rid of this difficult thing.

After walking up two flights of stairs, he finally turned to the door of Ah Chu's office.Ah Ci took a deep breath, and turned the doorknob abruptly, only to find that the door was locked.not here?That’s right, it’s even easier to check this way!Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the corridor, he quickly took out the key chain, inserted the lock picking tool into the keyhole, and easily opened the lock.In order to avoid unnecessary disturbance, he locked the door after entering the house, and then began to rummage.

Unknowingly, ten minutes later, Ah Ci searched through the drawers, but found no suspicious medicines.He walked to the cabinet with his hips crossed, and was about to open the door when he heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning from the door.
