"Uncle, what am I lying to you for, is it interesting?" Gu Mingqin deliberately frowned, as if he was dissatisfied, complaining that he didn't trust him.

The old man raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, and after a long time, he looked away and sighed slightly: "Today's incident is not an accident. ”

"What did you say?" Gu Mingqin was taken aback. On the way back, Gu Zhong had already told himself what had happened, Gu Xin went out of the city to do errands, and when he came back, he accidentally climbed down the cliff. Fortunately, he grabbed the branch next to him in time and barely escaped. At this time, someone passed over his head, pulled him up, and sent him home.

When she first heard this, Gu Mingqin didn't take it to heart because she was worried about the old man, she just wanted to go home quickly and see if the old man's situation was serious. Now, the old man's condition has stabilized, and the uneasiness in Gu Mingqin's heart has slowly calmed down. And now, when the old man said such words, she was nervous again. When I remembered that the three siblings were in distress, I felt more and more unusual. A sigh sounded, Gu Mingqin came back to his senses, and saw his uncle bowing slightly, and said a little weakly—

"That's the way I walk a lot. When I was young, I went to collect medicine with my eldest brother, and later, I also went to heal the villagers in the mountains, so to speak, I could walk home with my eyes closed, how could I fall off the cliff for no reason. And when I walked in it, it was even more impossible. The old man said, panting a little and coughing heavily. Behind him, Gu Mingqin patted him on the back, and slowly, the old man recovered his spirit and looked back at her, "Girl, do you know why?" ”

Gu Mingqin shook his head, puzzled.

"Because I met the snake."

"Snakes?" Gu Mingqin couldn't help but shudder, hugged his arms, and rubbed them gently. Even if he hadn't seen it, as long as he heard this word, Gu Mingqin would have goosebumps for no reason. In fact, since he was a child, in his father's medical hall, Gu Mingqin has also seen this kind of animal, such as the bottle of snake wine, and those snake gall bladders. But every time, Gu Mingqin always walked far away and didn't dare to approach. Fear of snakes is her innate instinct. A light cough made her have to put away her thoughts, looked back at Gu Xin, and listened to him talk—

"At that time, I was walking on the edge of the cliff, in fact, I couldn't count the edge of the cliff at all, there was still some distance, but I was afraid of accidentally falling down. I didn't expect to walk to that place, but I still couldn't guard against it, and a snake suddenly came out. I was defenseless and startled, but I instinctively retreated, but I didn't expect this retreat, and as soon as my feet slipped, I ......" The old man said this, closed his eyes and rested for a while, looked back at Gu Mingqin, and asked her, "Do you know why I was defenseless, because in my impression, there could be no snakes in that place at all." ”

"Why?"

"Because the climate is dry, it's not suitable for snakes." Gu Xin said, looking up at the window, and fell into memory, "I remember that many years ago, we met a patient. The patient needed to use snake skin as a medicine. At the beginning, in order to save costs, we went up the mountain to find it ourselves. But after looking for a long time, let alone a snake, even a snake egg, we didn't find it. In desperation, you can only spend money to buy. Later, we went up to the mountains to collect medicine, and we also searched for it, but in the end, we found nothing. So I'm sure there's no snake in that mountain. And this time, the sudden appearance of the snake was definitely not an accident. ”

"You mean to say that someone is trying to harm you?"

Gu Xin nodded: "There is one more point that can be explained. When I spotted the snake, I instinctively backed away. It stands to reason that I wasn't fast, and I couldn't take a few steps back before I could stop. But I felt like I had stepped on something, slipped a little, and then fell off a cliff. ”

"What you mean is that the murderer first let the poisonous snake bite you, afraid that you would react quickly and escape; And then put obstacles under your feet, even if you dodge the bite of a snake, the obstacles under your feet will make you accidentally fall off a cliff and break your bones? Gu Mingqin guessed, looking at the old man, the other party nodded heavily, as if affirming this matter.

Seeing him like this, Gu Mingqin couldn't help but feel that his hairs stood on end, and he was terrified. I couldn't help hugging my arms, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is so ruthless and wants to kill you, uncle?" ”

"Don't you know who did this?" Gu Xin straightened his face and scolded quite dissatisfied.

"Uncle......" Gu Mingqin was shocked, is it really Chen Jinxian? Thinking of this name, Gu Mingqin couldn't help clenching her fists, full of hatred in her heart. At this moment, when I think of my eldest brother, I am uneasy. If you guessed correctly, now that Yue Chengcheng is with them, will Chen Jinxian attack him? Although, in Gu Mingqin's opinion, without getting something, Chen Jinxian couldn't have done it so quickly. But the problem now is that Gu Xin encountered an accident, and it was an accident that was life-threatening.

Gu Mingqin suddenly had an impulse to tell her uncle about Yue Cheng, and after putting up with it, she didn't say anything. The old man has just recovered and just calmed down, if he hears about this, he is excited, he is in a hurry, and something happens, what should he do? Now I just hope that Chen Siwan is really infatuated with Yue Cheng, Chen Jinxian looked at her face, and could let Yue Cheng go for the time being, otherwise......

"Through today's events, I am even more sure of a fact."

Just thinking about her uncle's distress, Gu Mingqin suddenly heard this, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, looked back at the old man, looked at each other, and from the old man's firm gaze, she saw the deep meaning: "Uncle is sure that it was ...... who killed his father."

At this time, the old man looked away, sighed, and said leisurely: "Girl, I remember that I once told you that I have been looking for the truth about the boss's death. Actually, I've been wandering around that place for the past few days, going every day. It's just that time has passed, and the place is inaccessible, so how easy is it to find suspicious points? The hard work paid off, and when I was talking to a passer-by, he told me that he saw the boss the night he died, and that the boss was not alone. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Gu Mingqin was excited, clenched her fists, and calmed down, "Who else?" The answer was imminent, but she didn't want to say it herself. Just looked at the old man excitedly, hoping that he would tell him personally.

"What do you say?" Gu Xin asked rhetorically, looked at the girl, and raised his eyebrows slightly. After waiting for a while, and seeing no answer from her, the old man looked away, and then said, "According to the old man, that night, he had something to do in the city, and he came back late, so he met the carriage. Because he once came to Gu's Medical Center, the boss personally diagnosed him, and he was deeply impressed by the boss. And there is another person he knows, who is the housekeeper of Chen's Medical Hall, He Dong. ”

"What?" Gu Mingqin was surprised again, his uncle really guessed correctly, this matter was related to the Chen family.

"The old man told me that it was getting late, but because the carriage passed by him, it was very close; In addition, he knows these two people, so it is impossible for him to admit his mistake. Gu Xin was also very sure when he said this, but he sighed helplessly after finishing, "It's just that it's not easy to get that villager to admit what he saw." ”

"Why?"

"The first time I went to him, I didn't name him, and the old man talked to me very proudly; But when I explained my identity and intention, the old man actually denied it and didn't mention it. He also said that he didn't know Dr. Gu, and he didn't know He Dong. ”

"Why would he do that?" Gu Mingqin couldn't understand it, and watched someone hurt and hurt people, so she turned a blind eye, and she didn't even want to help when she testified in court. Is this world really indifferent?

Gu Xin was tired, coughed a few times, eased his emotions and said: "It's nothing, after all, it's not about yourself, more is better than less." It's just that my old man is stubborn and unwilling to give up. In the past few days, I went to him every day, grinding and soaking, but the old man was unmoved and was always unwilling to help. Today I went to him again for this matter, and he told me that he was about to leave Shanghai to visit his daughter, who was married to a wife. ”

"He's leaving?"

Gu Xin bowed slightly: "I paid attention, the house was cleaned up, and I didn't go back to see my daughter." After finishing speaking, he snorted coldly, "I suspect that he was threatened, and after asking repeatedly, the old man just didn't say anything, even if I made a promise, it was still ...... I said that my mouth is dry, and people are unmoved, what can I do. Seeing that it was already dark, I had no choice but to come back first, thinking about tomorrow, this old man inadvertently mentioned that he was waiting for someone, within a day or two, he would definitely not be able to leave, but he didn't expect something to happen. If you can't persuade him to appear in court within two days to prove that the boss's death can only be an accident, but it's a pity that my leg is ......" Through the quilt, Gu Xin hammered his injured legs, and the old tears were all over the place.

"Uncle, don't be like this, don't be like this......" Seeing the old man burst into tears, Gu Mingqin felt quite uncomfortable, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Uncle, don't worry, you can't go, I'll go." In any case, the old man must be persuaded to come forward to prove it. ”

"Do you have a solution?" Gu Xin asked with tears in his eyes.

"There's no way to give it a try, otherwise, sooner or later, one day, our family may die at his hands." Gu Mingqin clenched his fists and strengthened his faith. Looking back at the elder, "Uncle, do you know that this time the medicine depot caught fire, it is very likely that it was Chen Jinxian's plan; The second uncle was used by him. ”

"What?" The old man couldn't accept this fact, so he was in a hurry, closed his eyes, and leaned back.

"Uncle--" Gu Mingqin hurriedly supported him, but he grabbed his hand violently-
