Chapter Ninety-Six: Speculation
"It's just speculation on my part." Lin Ying was noncommittal, "Do you remember that day at the dinner table, the old man mentioned that he once wanted you to marry Lu Bangzhong?" ”
"Yes." Lin Chutong nodded, she still remembered that she was very surprised at the time.
"The old man found out that Gu Jingyu's face was wrong that day, and he seemed to regret something, but we still have no clue about this matter." Lin Jue recalled what Lu Ge had said to him, whether there was evidence or not, now he felt that Gu Jingyu was not a simple person, nor was he simple.
"And after that, the old man found out that Gu Jingyu had done something to his tea, and it seemed that some medicine had been added to it, or something else, combined with the previous events, this behavior was like revenge." Lin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
"But I still can't think of a reason why Gu Jingyu wants to kill Grandpa Lu." Lin Chutong's eyes darkened, "There have been so many things that have happened recently, my mind can't turn a little, maybe I should be completely quiet." ”
"You really should rest for a while, listen to Lu Yunian, you didn't sleep well last night, and you talked in your sleep all night." Lin inhaled the cigarette into his lungs, and the nicotine in it kept him calm.
"Yes." Lin Chutong smiled bitterly, she didn't think it was a good thing.
"I know it's not good to gossip about others behind my back, but I just have such a feeling, it seems that after Gu Jingyu comes back, everything has become weird."
"Yang Chuyu, who secretly photographed me for no reason, Grandpa Lu was determined to leave here, and there was sudden food poisoning yesterday, I even thought she was targeting me."
"Hitomi, although your mother has been stupid all her life, she has a saying that is very right." Lin Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Chutong's hair,
"Don't doubt yourself at any time."
"My mother said this to me, too." Lin Chutong smiled, she raised her chin, and motioned for the cigarette in Lin Di's hand.
"What does this taste like?"
"Very good." Lin Wei pretended to spit out a smoke ring, "But you can't touch it." ”
Lin Chutong didn't speak again, just stared at the smoke ring that Lin Yu spit out drifting farther and farther.
……
"Did you hear that? A perverted murderer has recently appeared in City A. ”
When he went to the supermarket to buy something with Lu Yunian, Lin Chutong heard two girls not far away discussing.
"Of course I heard! Who doesn't know such a terrible thing?! The curly-haired girl made an exaggerated expression,
"To put it even more terrifying, I have a friend who almost got targeted by that murderer! If it weren't for the one who dyed her hair yellow some time ago, I'm afraid she would have died on the news. ”
"Wouldn't it? Could that murderer be a murderer who only picks on a black-haired girl? The girl who brought up the topic covered her mouth, apparently, she herself was black haired.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yunian's hand shook several times in front of Lin Chutong before Lin Chutong noticed him.
"It's fine." Lin Chutong shook his head, "I heard that there is a perverted murderer recently, who specializes in picking black-haired girls. ”
As she spoke, she picked up a bottle of ketchup from the nearby shelf and put it in the cart.
"Qi Nantian told me about this." Lu Yunian pushed the cart and walked towards the snack area, today is the last day of the supermarket's opening, if you don't buy some things and store them at home, I'm afraid the whole holiday will be a little boring.
"You're on good terms." Lin Chutong said inexplicably.
Lu Yunian stared at her for a moment of silence before speaking, "He wants you to pay attention, as you know, that murderer specializes in picking on black-haired women." ”
"Yes." For this answer, Lin Chutong was a little surprised.
If Qi Nantian asked Lu Lunian to tell her to be careful, why did Lu Lunian still bring her out at this juncture?
Lu Yunian said "um" in response.
Lin Chutong didn't ask anything, anyway, Lu Lunian must have his own reason.
The two went back after shopping.
Because Lin Ying went back to Lin's house to accompany Lin Maogong for the New Year, the two who stayed in the Lu Mansion needed to cook by themselves, but fortunately, Lin Chutong's cooking skills were passable.
"It's probably the coldest year I've ever had." Lin Chutong boiled the soup and said to Lu Yunian.
Lu Lunian was helping her chop vegetables, and after hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Lin Chutong.
"Me too."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence buried in his heart: "This is also the first year that I haven't spent with my grandfather after returning to China." ”
He didn't want to make Lin Chutong sad at this time, so he chose to hide this sentence in his heart.
Lin Chutong's mobile phone vibrated for a moment, and when he opened it, it was Lin Ting's message, to the effect that he had arrived at the door of the Lu Mansion, and hoped that Lin Chutong would go down to pick him up.
Lin Chutong was puzzled, his uncle had obviously said that he had been at the Lin family today, why did he come over suddenly?
Although he was suspicious, Lin Chutong didn't think much about it, so he went downstairs to open the door.
The person standing downstairs was indeed Lin Jue, but his eyes were blank, as if his soul had been robbed.
Just when Lin Chutong wanted to open his mouth to ask what was wrong, a whistle sounded nearby, and after that, Lin Ying touched his head and asked Lin Chutong:
"Hitomi-chan, why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to celebrate the New Year with Lu Yunian? ”
Lin Chutong was shocked, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Lin Yu, after confirming that he was really not sleepwalking, she pointed to the Lu Zhai behind her and said:
"Uncle, it was you who sent a message to tell me that you were at the door, and I came to open the door for you."
I thought it was just a prank by Lin Ting, but after listening to Lin Chutong's words, Lin Ying glanced at his mobile phone, and sure enough, there was such a message.
But in his memory, he didn't do such an act, he still remembered that he was sitting on the sofa peeling oranges for Lin Maogong, why did he come to the door of Lu's house in the blink of an eye?
The road in between is not ordinary.
"Are you okay, uncle?" Lin Chutong asked worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable, do you want to go in and sit?" Maybe sober up. ”
"No need." Lin Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't disturb you two for the New Year, I'm leaving, be careful of Gu Jingyu's arrival at any time." ”
After Lin Chutong sent Lin Yu away, she walked back to the Lu Mansion, and out of caution, she also locked the door.
The more she thought about what had just happened, the more strange it became, and her mind, which had finally relaxed, suddenly became vigilant again.
Lin Ting would not make such boring jokes, he was not a person who liked to play pranks, and judging from Lin Ing's reaction just now, it seemed that the other party had really crossed over to the door of the Lu Mansion in an instant.
