Chapter 19: Visiting Bai Yanzi's Family to Find Out the Truth About Gu Poison (4)
From the first time I saw the white swallow to the second time I saw the white swallow, the white swallow at that time was the white swallow who returned from Yunnan. When I saw Bai Yanzi this time, I had already found that he had signs of poisoning, and on this day on August 11, Bai Yanzi died suddenly in Changchun Garden, and this incident spread all kinds of mysteries about the supernatural events in Changchun Garden. Yuan Qi suddenly opened his eyes when he thought of this, a faint smile appeared on his face, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, threw it in the trash can, and then walked in and sat next to Su Ling, facing Zhao Deqing and Qin Lu.
"Master, I see that you have been pondering for a long time, what have you come up with?"
"Let's judge the approximate time of the White Swallow's poisoning, the second time I saw the White Swallow, he had just returned from Yunnan at that time. At this time, he came to the teahouse and invited me to watch his performance, and it was by this time that he had already noticed that he had signs of poisoning. The approximate time was before he entered Changchun Garden after returning from Yunnan, during which time the murderer had planted Gu in Bai Yanzi's body. As Madame Bai said, after returning from Yunnan, Bai Yanzi often had trouble sleeping due to severe pain in his head, like tens of thousands of insects scurrying around in his head. The survival rate and reproduction ability of Gu worms are extremely strong, and the speed of their transmission is like a plague, from one to hundreds, tens of thousands of them spread rapidly in the body, because the temperature of the human body is suitable for the survival and spread of Gu worms. Before the autopsy, the body of the white swallow has been frozen in the freezer, the temperature in the freezer can reach as low as minus ten degrees, under such a temperature, the Gu worm is the same as other cold-blooded animals, into hibernation, until two weeks later, when you carried out the autopsy, instructed its staff to carry out the body of the white swallow and lay it flat on the stretcher to thaw, the body in the thawing period of time, the sleeping Gu worm in the body began to wake up, broke out of the skin, and was very densely scattered. ”
"Well, after Master's reasoning, we can understand the facts of this case at a glance," Zhao Deqing, who was sitting next to him, said.
"Okay, now I have some things to leave, and I'm out of company," Qin Lu stood up and said.
"Let's send you off," Yuan Qi, Zhao Deqing, and Su Ling stood up. Yuan Qi, Zhao Deqing, and Su Ling sent Qin Lu to the door downstairs. Qin Lu stood in front of the trolley and turned to Yuan Qi behind him, and said, "Okay, let's send it here, you still have something to do, so I can't bother it." After that, Qin Lu got into the car, and the car reversed out of the parking space and drove out. Yuan Qi, Zhao Deqing and others looked at the car in the distance, and then they went upstairs together.
At about 11 o'clock at noon the next day, Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing rushed to the Guangmao Building as scheduled, stood under the tall building, and then entered the hall, and stood next to the hall in front of the elevator. As he walked through the hall, Yuan Qi turned his head to look at the names of the various companies and their floor rooms lined up on the wall behind the counter, and then walked into the two doors of the elevator, waited for the two doors of the elevator to open, and then entered the twenty-eighth floor of the elevator building. After the elevator stopped on the twenty-eighth floor, the two doors opened, and Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing walked out of it and entered the company.
After they walked into the company, Zhao Deqing stepped forward to face the reception staff sitting behind the counter and said, "Hello, may I ask, is Liao Hongmei here?" ”
"Please go to the hall and sit down and wait for a while, Mr. Liao will be there in a while." Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing could only sit on the sofa and wait. Yuan Qi sat on the sofa and took out a box of cigarettes, shook out one, lit it in his mouth, took a puff and spit out the smoke, and then shook the ash into the ashtray. The receptionist standing behind the counter walked out to the water dispenser in the corner, took two glasses of water, stepped forward and put them on the card table in front of Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing, and said, "Please drink water." ”
"Thank you," Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing looked at the receptionist in front of them.
"No thanks," the receptionist returned to the counter.
At this time, Liao Hongmei had just returned to Chengdu by plane, the passenger plane landed on the runway at Shuangliu Airport, gliding for a while before stopping, the door of the cabin opened, the stairs slowly descended, and the tourists slowly walked down the stairs, Liao Hongmei was among them, and they walked in. In the exit of the station, a man in a black casual suit stood in the waiting crowd, holding a sign with "Liao Hongmei" written on the sign, and his eyes kept looking at the flow of people walking out of the exit. Liao Hongmei, who was walking in the crowd, dragged the suitcase with one hand, looked up at the crowd standing on both sides, and looked at the sign held high. As the flow of people walked out, he stood behind this person, patted this person on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hi, Xiao Zhang." "This Xiao Zhang is a private driver hired by Liao Hongmei. Liao Hongmei called this Xiao Zhang early in the morning and said that he was going back to Chengdu today. After Xiao Zhang received a call from Liao Hongmei, he drove a car to Shuangliu Airport to wait.
Xiao Zhang turned around and found that Liao Hongmei was suddenly standing behind him, which made him startled and said, "Mr. Liao." ”
"Xiao Zhang, you've been waiting here for a long time."
"This is as it should be, Mr. Liao, let's get in the car together," Xiao Zhang took the suitcase in Liao Hongmei's hand, walked out of the hall together, put the suitcase in the trunk, stepped forward to open the rear door, and said, "Mr. Liao, please get in the car." ”
Liao Hongmei just nodded, got into the car and sat in the back seat. Xiao Zhang closed the rear door and walked a few steps forward, opened the front door and sat on the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands, turning his head back and asking, "Mr. Liao, are you going home?" ”
"No, go to the company," after that, Liao Hongmei gently closed her eyes, stretched out her hands and rubbed her temples with her fingers, maybe she felt a little tired. Xiao Zhang started the car and drove out of Shuangliu Airport quickly and onto the Second Ring Viaduct. Liao Hongmei looked through the car window, looked at the tall buildings on both sides, and unconsciously fell asleep on the back seat, Xiao Zhang looked at Liao Hongmei who was sleeping through the rear mirror, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Holding the steering wheel with both hands, the car quickly drove over the viaduct, crossed the railway station, and stopped at the entrance in front of the Guangmao Building.
Xiao Zhang turned around, looked at Liao Hongmei behind him, and said, "Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao." ”
Liao Hongmei woke up, and Xiao Zhang said, "Mr. Liao, we have arrived." After that, Xiao Zhang got out of the car, opened the rear door, and stood next to him. Liao Hongmei walked out of the car, stood under the tall building, turned to face Xiao Zhang, and said, "Xiao Zhang, you just wait for me, I'll go up first and come down for a while." ”
"Okay."
Liao Hongmei walked into the Guangmao Building, Xiao Zhang returned to the car, looked at the newspaper, made a very casual look, and waited for Liao Hongmei to go downstairs. Liao Hongmei walked into the elevator, went up to the twenty-eighth floor, entered the company, stood in front of the counter, looked at the reception staff sitting behind the counter, and said, "Xiaoxue, what happened to those children?" ”
"These children are practicing their voices, and there were two people looking for you just now," After finishing speaking, he looked at the sofa in the hall, but he didn't see Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing, maybe the two of them heard the voices of children in the hall, go and see the children. Liao Hongmei looked at the hall and said, "Who is looking for me?" ”
At this time, the reception staff was a little embarrassed, and said, "I haven't asked their names yet, and I'm still practicing the voice room to watch the children." ”
"Don't be sloppy in your work in the future, whenever someone comes to me, you will ask for this person's name, do you remember it clearly?" At this time, Liao Hongmei was a little serious.
"Okay, I remember."
"Well, you're busy," Liao Hongmei then walked towards the sound room. Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing stood aside, looking at these children, their thin bodies were wearing wide robes, and they didn't know when Liao Hongmei was standing next to them. Yuan Qi faced Liao Hongmei, who was standing next to him, and said, "These children are so cute. ”
Liao Hongmei looked at these children with a smile on her face and said, "Well, yes, Peking Opera is the quintessence of our country, and it will be passed on by them in the future." ”
"Yes, I am optimistic about these children to pass on Chinese culture through these children."
Liao Hongmei nodded with a smile, and the children looked at Liao Hongmei standing at the door, and they all rushed forward and said, "Teacher Liao, Teacher Liao." ”
Liao Hongmei squatted down, stroked the children, and said, "Children, how are you doing with your singing skills?" ”
"Okay," one of the children looked at Liao Hongmei and said, "The teacher also rewarded me with a big red flower, you see," the child held out the big red flower for Liao Hongmei to see. Liao Hongmei looked at the big red flower in the child's hand and said, "Well, you are the best." The little girl standing next to her looked at Yuan Qi, who was standing behind Liao Hongmei, and said, "Big brother, you are so handsome." Yuan Qi stepped forward and squatted down and said softly, "Why do you say I'm handsome?" ”
"Because tall people are handsome."
"Elf ghost, go and practice singing, otherwise the teacher will punish you."
Liao Hongmei stood up and said, "Go and practice." When he was young, Yuan Qi stood in front of Liao Hongmei and said, "You are Liao Hongmei." ”
"Yes, I'm Liao Hongmei, I don't know who the two of you are...?"
"Hello, I'm Yuan Qi." Yuan Qi faced Zhao Deqing, who was standing behind him, and said, "Zhao Deqing." After that, Zhao Deqing stepped forward to reveal his identity and said, "We came here to ask you a few things. ”
"Okay," Zhao Deqing and Yuan Qi followed Liao Hongmei into another room, which was very quiet and nothing to disturb. Liao Hongmei stood in front of Ka Zhuo, looked at Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing who were standing next to her, and said, "You two, please take a seat." Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing sat down at this time, and Liao Hongmei sat opposite them, saying, "You ask." After sitting down, Zhao Deqing opened the notebook in his hand and looked at Liao Hongmei in front of him. Yuan Qi, who was sitting next to him, said, "We want to know something about the white swallow going to Yunnan. ”
"It started again in the early morning of August 2." Liao Hongmei paused at this point, recalling that in the early morning of August 2, she was lying on the bed for a nap at this time, and her two little feet were exposed outside the cover. At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the bedside table rang. Liao Hongmei stretched out her hand and took the mobile phone on the bedside table, and said, "Hey, Master." ”
"Liao Hongmei, you can go to Yunnan with me."
"When?"
"Just today."
"Today," this sentence made Liao Hongmei suddenly feel energetic, but she didn't expect to be in such a hurry. After Liao Hongmei received a call from Bai Yanzi, she set off after dressing up a few times. Half an hour later, they arrived at the door of the white swallow's house. At this time, the white swallow packed up her salute and was saying goodbye to her family. Liao Hongmei stood in front of Madame Bai and said, "Sister-in-law." ”
"Hongmei, sister-in-law has always treated you as my own sister, Baiyanzi will entrust it to you, you have to take care of him for me in my absence. Remember, give us a call when you get there, so I'm relieved. ”
"Sister-in-law, you can rest assured about this." Then he looked at the white swallow standing behind him, the white swallow at this time was sullen, as if he had something on his mind, but he just faced Liao Hongmei and said, "Liao Hongmei, let's go." After that, he faced Mrs. Bai and said, "Madam, let's go first, and I'll leave some trivial matters at home to you." ”
"Xianggong, let's go." Madame White stood in the doorway and watched the two of them leave, then closed the door and entered her room. Bai Yanzi and Liao Hongmei entered the elevator and went down to the first floor, stood in front of the car, put the suitcase in the trunk, drove the car out of the community, left Chengdu on the expressway, and drove towards Yunnan. Bai Yanzi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had always been silent, and Liao Hongmei, who was sitting next to her, kept looking at Bai Yanzi, and she wanted to say something but swallowed it. They arrived in Yunnan that evening and stayed at the Red River Hostel. They ordered two rooms to settle in. After a long time, Liao Hongmei stood at the door of Bai Yanzi's room and knocked on the door, "Master, can I come in?" ”
"You can come in."
Liao Hongmei pushed open the door of Bai Yanzi and walked in, standing in front of Bai Yanzi, at this time Bai Yanzi seemed to be dodging, and said, "Liao Hongmei, is there anything wrong with coming to my room?" ”
"Master, along the way, I see that you seem to have something on your mind, what happened?"
"Mr. Liu died of illness the day before yesterday, so I am in a bad mood these days, and I want you to accompany me to Yunnan to adjust my mood."
"Even if Mr. Liu is alive, I don't want to see your will be so depressed. There is a Tsz Yun Temple near here, so let's go to Tsz Yun Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pray for blessings. ”
"Okay, tomorrow's things will be arranged by you, I'm tired and want to rest."
"Then I won't disturb your rest," Liao Hongmei exited Bai Yanzi's room and walked into her room.
