91. Plum porridge with poisoned apples
In such a situation, Wang Ben, who had been fighting for tat with Cheng Donglai, suddenly relented without warning, maybe he was convinced by the judgment of the forensic doctor Tang Tang, or maybe he had other ideas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After he agreed with Lin Fan's opinion with a gloomy face, Huang San, Chen Wei, Xu Qing and Dai Yue all lowered their heads and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the police.
The main reason why Lin Fan identified the four of them as possible suspects was based on the judgment made based on the time of the poison.
Because judging from the preliminary estimate of the belladonna toxin dose at the scene, Hu Jinsheng's entire process from the onset of symptoms to his death was about 10 to 15 minutes, so he should have ingested the toxin before the official opening of the BABYFACE night club. Before this, there were only five people on the second floor: Hu Jinsheng, Huang San, Chen Wei, Xu Qing, and Dai Yue.
This case has nothing to do with Lin Fan and the others here, after all, Gu Yanran's innocence has been proven, and if the matter has no impact on the people close to Lin Fan, he will not have much mind to find out to the end.
Several people symbolically went to the police station to make a record, and then went home one after another. The follow-up investigation of the entire case was handed over to Zhou Xiaole's second criminal investigation team.
After Lin Fan went home, he took a shower, ate the supper made by his mother, and then started a new round of copying books, and everything was normal as before.
But after Xu Man and Gu Yanran went home, they both found that the atmosphere at home was a little different.
In the Oulutia Villa, Xu Tiancheng has been waiting for Xu Man to come home, and the appearance of that man today made him smell some kind of dangerous atmosphere, like the feeling that the root of the bane that had been planted was about to break through the ground, and some things made him have to make some preparations in advance.
The scene in front of her was obviously the scene that Xu Manchang was looking forward to, her father was very busy, and most of the time he cared for and greeted him was extravagant, let alone waiting for him to go home.
Except for the few times she felt her father's concern after experiencing the kidnapping, it seems that after the aunt surnamed Xu settled in this house, she rarely could experience that feeling.
Xu Man also foolishly thought that that kind of terrible days could last longer, so that her father would care more about her.
Xu Man was stunned as her father walked to the cloister and took the schoolbag in her hand, thinking that she had returned to the not spacious room many years ago.
"Coming back?" Xu Tiancheng frowned, thinking that his daughter had not recovered from the incident just now, and said with some reproach: "You still want to hide it from me when you go to that kind of place with your classmates, let's see, cause trouble." ”
The reproach brought Xu Man back to reality, she stuck out her tongue, took off her shoes and socks, and changed into slippers, revealing her pink toes. She replied to Xu Tiancheng with a sweet smile, what she was looking forward to today suddenly came so quickly, this was a rare caring tone from his father, completely unexpected to her.
"Dad, aren't you busy today, why did you come back so early." Xu Man didn't want her father to worry too much, so she didn't take over the topic, she went straight to the dining table, poured a glass of orange juice and drank it.
"Well," Xu Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, the words that Xu Man blurted out obviously made him fall into some kind of self-blame, thinking that the topic for a while might hurt his daughter's heart, this inner sense of self-blame was even stronger.
"Are you hungry, I asked your Aunt Xu to make a supper and boiled your favorite plum porridge."
Xu Man ate a lot of things with Lin Fan and a few people in the Hui snack street at night, and he felt that he hadn't digested it yet, and he just wanted to say no, but the words became "Okay, I haven't drunk plum porridge for a long time." ”
After a while, two bowls of steaming plum porridge were placed on the mahogany carved table by the nanny.
Xu Man had already changed into a set of cute pullover pajamas of a pink kitten, and she sat on the chair and put the sweet and sour into her mouth little by little.
"Dad, why don't you eat it?" Xu Man blinked his big eyes and looked at his father, who had been staring at him all the time, tilted his head and smiled.
"Oh, just eat it." Xu Tiancheng pulled his thoughts back from the distant past, just now he seemed to see his young lover, thinking of Xu Man's long-outdated mother, Xu Tiancheng felt a little bitter and a little self-blame, "I haven't eaten with you for a long time, I won't blame Dad, right?" ”
Xu Man's nose was sore, and there was a sudden moist feeling in her eyes, she hurriedly took out a few tissues and carefully held them in the palm of her hand, for fear that she would accidentally cry her nose after a while.
The plum porridge is very fragrant, but it is not the taste of his mother, but Xu Man still resisted the small emotions in his heart and drank a bowl of porridge cleanly.
In the quiet atmosphere, there was the sound of his father and his own dishes and chopsticks colliding, which made Xu Man feel a trace of the warmth of home.
However, after being silent for a long time, Xu Tiancheng, who finally made up his mind, directly broke this atmosphere as soon as he opened his mouth.
He looked out the window, avoiding his daughter's eyes.
"Haven't you always wanted to go around Japan, Dad arranged the best school for you in Tokyo, the quality of education there is much higher than here, and many of the things you like are also liked by Japanese girls, I think you will definitely like the environment over there in the past."
With a snap, the spoon in Xu Man's hand fell to the edge of the delicate blue and white porcelain bowl, making a crisp crashing sound.
thought that his father, who wanted to make up for the cold relationship in the past few years, was trying to push himself further, and the gap between this hope and disappointment was too big, which made Xu Man feel like he had fallen from a height.
"I don't want to go!"
The grievances and helplessness that welled up in her heart gave her the urge to rebel against her father's decision for the first time.
"Dad knows that you have a lot of friends here, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to it, don't worry, Dad also has several friends in Tokyo, and their children are the same age as you, so they will definitely be good friends with you."
Xu Tiancheng walked to Xu Man's side and patiently persuaded him.
"I don't want to go!" Xu Man suddenly stood up from the chair, she raised her head, and the pear vortex on both sides gave birth to strength.
It was the first time Xu Tiancheng saw his daughter erupt with such a strong willingness to resist.
Looking at his daughter's slightly trembling body, Xu Tiancheng suddenly felt his powerlessness, and those decisive forces in front of his daughter were just waving into a void.
The negligence of the past few years has made him forget that his daughter has grown so big, and the Xu Man in front of him is no longer the baby with two pigtails and shaking his arms to eat candy.
"Obedient, Dad is all for your good, you can say goodbye to your classmates these days, and I will personally send you over next Monday." Xu Tiancheng patted his daughter on the shoulder, and gave the final order euphemistically, and after speaking, he turned around without looking back, as if he didn't dare to look at Xu Man's expression at all.
Something on his skin began to burn, and there was a hot pain on his body, Xu Man remembered the demeanor of his father who had just taken his schoolbag, and the back of his slow departure at the moment. Those sudden concerns turned out to be nothing more than to send away their own guilt.
Suddenly, she saw the white chopsticks on the red table, and the bowl of plum porridge was placed there alone, like the last poisoned apple that the queen gave to Snow White.
