In order to find out the source of the incense and investigate the incident that happened before Qiao Shu's suicide, Xu Jinqiao and the spice expert professor talked on the phone again, and then asked someone to send two high-end gas masks.

Along the way, after going through many things, Xu Jinqiao has gradually changed his mind, learned to face with Xiao Yan, bear the wind and rain together, no longer hide her in the greenhouse, only enjoy the sunshine he gave, and can't withstand the sun and rain, and obviously, she also likes the feeling of being side by side with him very much!

Ling Xiaohua, who does not climb, stands with him in the image of a tree, and is a kapok near him, no matter whether the result is good or bad, she is willing!

Xu Jin Qiao drove Xiao Yan to the suburbs not far from the manor, and the two found a stone to sit down, and in the vast world, they each put on a gas mask and white gloves, and then opened the log box to volatilize the fragrance.

The bits and pieces that have been checked many times, from the appearance, there is really no abnormality, and the experts have also tested it, but the two of them do not give up, and they always feel strange, because the fragrance is indeed coming from the box, and the fragrance source is not in the box, where can it be?

"Husband, you once said that after my mother knew that my father had an extramarital affair and had an illegitimate child, she gradually suffered from depression, nervous confusion, and a great change in temperament, and experts said that this fragrance can also cause people to have this symptom after smelling this fragrance for a long time, so will my mother's illness be caused by smelling this fragrance?" Xiao Yan said ponderingly.

Xu Jin Qiao was silent for a moment, and then bowed his head, "Your analysis is good, and I am also suspicious, so I must find the source of the incense, and then investigate in-depth to find out whether this incense was bought by my mother herself or given to her by others." ”

"Well, then let's find ...... again" Xiao Yan said as he rummaged through things, suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, "Huh? Why can't this diary be opened? ”

"I'll see."

Xu Jin Qiao took it, looked at it, and said, "It's a password lock, I'll try the password." ”

"You know the password?"

"I don't know, my mother didn't tell me, I'll try to guess a few related numbers."

"Hmm."

After trying three sets of numbers in a row, all of them were wrong, Xu Jinqiao couldn't help frowning, "Mom's birthday, my birthday, and Mom's wedding date are all wrong, what is that?" ”

Xiao Yan bit his finger and helped him think, "Hmm...... I think about it, could it be my mother's lucky number? Or is it the birthday of someone in the Qiao family? Or maybe it's Dad's birthday? ”

"Heh, you have a dad, you call it so well!" Xu Jin Qiao glanced at her and sneered disapplausively, "It's possible to change it to anyone's birthday, he Xu Jiangchong is not worthy!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly annoyed, "What do you mean?" What's wrong with me calling Dad? Shall I call him by his name as you do? The marriage of the elders of the previous generation was a victim of autocratic hegemony, and you also knew that the combination of father and mother, father was forced, and in the final analysis, father was not wrong......"

"It's your mom who is wrong!"

Xu Jin Qiao suddenly interrupted Xiao Yan, his chest rose and fell, and his deep eyes seemed to be terrifying, "Even if it is a loveless marriage, at least it is complete, if it is not for Jing Aihua's intervention, if it weren't for that woman's scheming shameless climb on my father's *, how could our family be broken?" How could my mom die? ”

"You, you blame me now? You don't say it, you have been hating Jing Aihua in your heart, haven't you? Xiao Yan gritted his teeth in anger, his nose was sour, "Yes, what you said is right, it's all my mother's fault, she shouldn't be a junior, she shouldn't destroy your mother's family, but how can we understand the thoughts of the previous generation?" If you have to get to the bottom of it, then why did your mother have to marry a man who didn't love her in the first place! ”

The more Xu Jin Qiao listened, the more angry he became, "Nonsense! If my mother hadn't married Xu Jiangchong, could she have me? What do you mean by that? Co-authored or is my mom wrong? ”

“……”

Xiao Yan's chest rose and fell, her face was pale, she got up suddenly, walked to the front of the car in a few steps, pulled the car door and sat in.

Xu Jin Qiaoqing was uncontrollable, and he didn't chase her, he sat in place and supported his forehead with one hand, and his heart was so uncomfortable that he almost exploded!

How did his mom Joshu die? Is it sure that there is nothing to love and don't want to live, or because the nerves are poisoned by incense, they can't control themselves and jump off the balcony?

If he hadn't found the abnormal fragrance in the box and had not asked an expert to test and identify, then he would not have suspected that his mother's death was strange, but now, he had to have such suspicions!

If this incense is not owned by the mother herself, then who will bring it into the old house? Mother's log box, is the mother's treasure, who dares to touch her things?

He can't think of suspicious people, because on weekdays, there are only him and the old man at home, Xu Jiangchong rarely goes home, the old man is categorically impossible, and he is even more impossible, so who else?

Diary......

He looked at the things in his hand, and suddenly he froze, the diary is a record of private events, will there be any clues recorded in this book?

Thinking of this, his heart was full of excitement, but he couldn't open the password lock, and he couldn't dismantle the destroyed relics, under the anxiety, Xiao Yan's birthday just mentioned Xu Jiangchong's birthday flashed in his mind, he ghostly dialed six numbers like a god, and all the months and days of the year were dialed, but I didn't expect that the password lock suddenly "clicked" and opened!

Xu Jinqiao was stunned, how could it be...... How could a mother set the password to be the birthday of that ruthless and unrighteous man?

In the car, Xiao Yan saw Xu Jinqiao open the diary, his heart was shocked, and he wanted to get out of the car to see it excitedly, but his hand touched the door handle of the car and shrank back.

Xu Jin Qiao couldn't take care of Xiao Yan anymore, he was engrossed in reading the diary, from the first page, Qiao Shu didn't record much content, she is an elegant and talented woman, full of poetry between the lines, it is a diary, it is better to say that it is prose and poetry, there is no special record time, and there is no vernacular colloquial language to write the mood, she uses her unique literary technique to narrate her life, her love, her family and marriage, the font is beautiful, the writing is brilliant, when she writes about her son, through her happy words, As if I could see her flower-like smile, when writing about her husband, the tone was undoubtedly sad, melancholy, sighing, distressing, and pity.

"The autumn breeze rises, the coolness is in the bones, and the fallen leaves hit the eyebrows, like the gears of fate, pushing me along the trajectory of life lightly or heavily, but I can't see hope. Pushing open the window, all I could see was darkness. I asked myself, do you still want to keep going? Do you still have illusions about that love? However, I could not find the answer, because I had a new concern, my Aqiao, my beloved son......"

Reading this paragraph silently, Xu Jinqiao's eyes were moist, as if his hands were pinching his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he even wanted to shout and cry......

Turning the pages and carefully reading every word left by his mother, he regained the depths of his pupils, and finally there was a hot liquid tumbling, burning his heart......

"Today, I am so happy, he came home and brought me a gift, although I don't like too strong fragrance, but as long as he gave it, even if it is just a few boxes of soothing incense, I am satisfied."

Xu Jin Qiao's eyes paused sharply, staring at the three words "An Shenxiang" and couldn't take his eyes off, what does this mean?

Is the incense that is harmful to the human body the soothing incense mentioned in the diary? Mother has made it clear that she doesn't like strong incense, but because he gave it to her, she is still happy!

He...... Who is it?

Xu, Jiang, Chong!

The name engraved in the blood that could not be forgotten shook Xu Jin Qiao's whole body, and the diary fell to the ground, making a "snap" sound!

He couldn't believe it, let alone what he saw, what he found!

My father gave my mother a soothing incense - an incense that would make people nervous and restless after smelling it for a long time!

It's not calming, it's chaos!

How is that possible? How can that person be a father?

Xu Jinqiao pressed his temples with both hands, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat......

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yan couldn't resist her curiosity, secretly observed the man, and found that the situation was wrong, she hurriedly ran down from the car, ran over in a few steps, and held his shoulder anxiously, "What's going on?" What's wrong with you, don't scare me! ”

"I can't take it...... Boa, what do you say I should do? Definitely not, no, can't ......"

Xu Jin Qiao's messy words, Xiao Yan listened to a mess, her eyes fell on the diary on the ground, and she instinctively bent down to pick it up, but before she could see it, she was snatched away by Xu Jin Qiao, "Don't look at it!" Don't read a word! ”

However, with his words, a piece of incense more than ten centimeters long suddenly fell out of the crack in the diary!

"Husband......" Xiao Yan let go of his hand in shock, staring at the incense that fell on the ground, shaking his lips, "This, what is this?" ”

Xu Jin Qiao was also stunned, and for a moment, he came back to his senses and quickly picked up the incense, his heavy pupils were full of indescribable horror!

In terms of appearance, this so-called soothing incense is similar to the Indian incense used to remove odors in ordinary households, with a black cylinder and only half a section!

"That's what it is...... Fragrance source? The abnormal fragrance comes from this half of the incense? Xiao Yan reacted slowly and blurted out incredulously.
