Hearing Adjutant Li's words, Gu Congzhou didn't show much surprise, he just asked, "What about the cigarette holder?" And the other foods they ate last night, have they been tested? ”

Adjutant Li shook his head: "The instrument can only be the same, from last night to now, the laboratory technicians have tested a total of two things, one is the smoking gun used by the young marshal, and the other is the big cigarette they smoked, but no poison has been found on either of them." ”

Gu Congzhou thought for a while, and then asked, "Then has Li Ximeng's things been tested?" ”

"Li Ximeng's?" Adjutant Lee was unexpected.

"Yes." Gu Congzhou nodded, "Judging from the performance of the two people, Li Ximeng's poisoning is obviously more serious than that of the young marshal. At first, we all thought that because she was a woman, she had a weak physique, but there was another possibility, that is, the person who was poisoned first or had a large dose of poison was Li Ximeng, and the young marshal was contaminated with the toxin in contact with her. ”

Adjutant Li frowned - judging from the character of his own young marshal and the situation last night, Gu Congzhou's speculation was very likely to be true. After all, last night's dinner for the two was very ambiguous. Moreover, the guards told Adjutant Li that it was Young Marshal Guan who personally withdrew them and entered the smoking room with Li Ximeng alone, so if the two really did something ambiguous inside, Adjutant Li would not be surprised at all.

Thinking of this, Adjutant Li nodded to Gu Congzhou: "I'll let them go for testing." ”

More than two hours later, the test results confirmed Gu Congzhou's conjecture. The laboratory technician found poison on Li Ximeng's cigarette holder. The comparison of its ingredients found that its main ingredient was rat poison, but the toxicity of this rat poison was significantly higher than that of ordinary rat poison, and it is not known that it was adulterated with other ingredients.

"The main ingredient in rat poison is coumarin, a poison that causes bleeding from the human mucous membranes. Therefore, the poisoned person often cannot be seen on the outside, but when he finds it, he has been deeply poisoned. I don't know what ingredient the poison in the young marshal this time caused the bleeding to be obvious, but it made the treatment timely, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Gu Congzhou explained to Adjutant Li.

Adjutant Li was also afraid for a while, and he said to Gu Congzhou: "I want to quickly report this situation to the marshal." ”

"Okay."

Adjutant Li left in a hurry, and Gu Congzhou also returned and walked back to the ward, telling the dean and the other two doctors about the test results.

Because he no longer lost blood, Guan Tingxiao at this moment is no longer as pale as last night. He listened to Gu Congzhou and the introduction of several others, and suddenly asked, "How is the lady who was sent with me last night?" ”

Several people at the same time. In the end, the dean spoke: "Young marshal, Miss Li was poisoned too much, and unfortunately passed away last night......

After listening to this, Guan Tingxiao didn't say anything, just closed his eyes. Gu Congzhou looked at it and didn't see any emotional changes on Guan Tingxiao's face.

Gu Congzhou couldn't say what it felt like in his heart. He had heard of Guan Tingxiao's reputation as a merry boy for a long time, and judging from the clothes of the two when they were sent last night and the statements of the people around them, it was not difficult to imagine what the two were doing last night. However, when he heard that Li Ximeng had died at this moment, Guan Tingxiao didn't even show a trace of surprise or sadness. Although Gu Congzhou knew that Guan Tingxiao's poisoning was likely to be implicated by Li Ximeng, the problem was that Guan Tingxiao didn't know. So is his calm at the moment a cover for his inner emotions, or is he already cold?

Gu Congzhou was suddenly a little upset for no reason, he found an excuse to leave the room and wanted to go outside to breathe. He had just walked a few steps when he heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was several Kwantung Army troops who ran out quickly. Adjutant Li was also among them, and when he saw Gu Congzhou, he didn't stop, just nodded and followed the other two to leave quickly. The figures of several people quickly disappeared, and immediately after, Gu Congzhou heard the sound of a car starting downstairs. Gu Congzhou knew that these people probably asked about the suspect, which is why they were so eager to arrest people.

If Gu Congzhou was a little curious about who the murderer was at the beginning, he didn't care so much at the moment. The murderer was aimed at Li Ximeng, and Li Ximeng has been killed, even if the murderer is caught, what can he do?

For the next few hours, Gu Congzhou was idle in the hospital - since Guan Tingxiao was admitted to the hospital yesterday, the Kwantung Army blocked the two floors of the Kwantung Hospital. All the other doctors and patients were transferred to other places, and the doctors and nurses who were responsible for treating Guan Shaoshuai and Li Ximeng were also confined to this area, and they were not allowed to go out at will, let alone leak the news to others. Gu Congzhou didn't have any other patients, and he didn't want to face Guan Tingxiao, so he found an empty room to make up for sleep. Last night, the three of them had been guarding Guan Tingxiao, and no one had closed their eyes much, and Gu Congzhou was really tired until now.

Gu Congzhou slept until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, until he was woken up by the nurse who came to look for him.

"The dean, please come over and tell you and the other two doctors to give the young marshal another examination."

"Okay."

Gu Congzhou rubbed his eyes and followed the nurse back to Guan Tingxiao's ward. At this moment, there were many people in the ward, in addition to the two doctors Dean Sun, George, and Andrew, as well as Adjutant Li and two other officers who Gu Congzhou did not know. The three of them did a series of examinations on Guan Tingxiao, and found that his pleural effusion had improved significantly, and his blood score was basically close to normal, so it can be said that he was out of danger.

Hearing the conclusion of the three men, the other people in the room all showed relieved expressions, and the three officers exchanged colors, and then the eldest of them spoke: "Since the young marshal is out of danger, then he will go home tonight." However, just in case, I still asked Dean Sun to arrange for a doctor to take care of him for a few nights. ”

Dean Sun looked at the three of them, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. In terms of qualifications, this matter should be handed over to the two doctors, George and Andrew, but the problem is that the two of them are not full-time doctors in the Kanto Hospital, and the two of them each have their own clinics, and they only sit in the Kanto Hospital for two or three days a week, so Dean Sun cannot directly order the two of them to go to the Dashuai's Mansion to be an attendant. Just as Dean Sun wanted to ask for the meaning of these two people, Guan Tingxiao, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Let Doctor Gu come." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Gu Congzhou was slightly stunned.

Dean Sun knew that Gu Congzhou had contact with Guan Tingxiao before, and the plan to rescue Guan Tingxiao this time was also proposed by him, at this moment, Guan Shaoshuai spoke, he was naturally happy to do a favor, so Dean Sun looked at Gu Congzhou: "Congzhou, then it's hard for you." ”

Gu Congzhou knew that Guan Tingxiao had opened his mouth, and he couldn't push off this task, so he looked at his watch and said, "I want to call home first." ”

"Huh? Is there anyone else in your family? "Dean Sun was a little surprised, didn't Gu Congzhou live alone?

"Well, there is a roommate who lives with him, I didn't come home last night, and if I don't go back today, he should be worried."

"Oh, that's as it should be. Okay, there you go. A change of clothes or something......"

"Don't worry about the change of clothes, I'll help Dr. Gu prepare." At this time, Adjutant Li interjected.

Gu Congzhou nodded, so he followed Adjutant Li to a room with a phone next door and dialed the phone number of the Kanto Daily Office.

"Hey, why did you go from Zhou, you didn't go home all night yesterday?" As soon as Shen Yu picked up the phone, he crackled and said, "I called the hospital and they said that you were busy, and I didn't find you when I went to the hospital." And there is still a guard at the entrance of your hospital, what is going on? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a patient who is in critical condition, so he has been rescuing. I may not be able to go home for the next two days, and I will go back when the patient's condition is stable. ”

"Ah, you won't be back tonight? Do you need me to send you something? ”

"No need, I have it in the hospital, you eat well at home, don't save money. I'll be back in two days. ”

"Okay, then you should pay attention to your body yourself."

"Hmm."

After hanging up the phone, Adjutant Li said to Gu Congzhou: "Listen to the voice, Dr. Gu's roommate seems to be that Shen reporter?" ”

"Well, it's him." Gu Congzhou nodded, "I'm fine, I can get ready to go." ”

"Okay." Adjutant Li said, "When the young marshal is ready, we will set off." ”

In order not to attract public attention, Guan Shaoshuai's motorcade waited until it was dark before leaving the hospital. The car drove all the way into the courtyard of the Shuai Mansion, and there were already many people waiting in the courtyard, and as soon as Guan Tingxiao got out of the car, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"Xiao'er!" "Young marshal!"

Among the group of people, the voices of several female dependents are the most prominent, among which the older one is probably Guan Shaoshuai's mother, and the remaining few who are not old are estimated to be Guan Shaoshuai's wives and concubines. Gu Congzhou didn't have the heart to distinguish it, but just walked in under the guidance of the servant.

"Doctor Gu, please stay in your guest room tonight. If there's something on the young marshal's side, someone will ask you to come over. Adjutant Li said to Gu Congzhou.

"Okay." Gu Congzhou nodded.

Although it is an escort, in fact, Guan Tingxiao's poisoning has been controlled, and the doctor is by his side, just in case. All Gu Congzhou needed to do was to help Guan Tingxiao check his body in the morning, noon and evening, confirm the dosage of the medicine, and do nothing for the rest of the time. There are many people who come and go in the marshal's mansion, especially Guan Tingxiao's poisoning, and many people come to visit. Gu Congzhou adheres to the principle of "listening less, watching less, and inquiring less", and almost does not leave his room unless someone comes to invite him. Adjutant Li was afraid that he would be bored and asked him if he needed anything, Gu Congzhou thought about it and said, "Then please ask Adjutant Li to send someone to the hospital to help me get two medical books, oh and, if it's convenient, I want to read the newspaper." ”

Hearing Gu Congzhou's last sentence, Adjutant Li raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Congzhou, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Gu Congzhou knew that Adjutant Li must have guessed his intentions, and he had no intention of hiding it, he really wanted to know if the outside world knew about it now. Books and newspapers were quickly delivered, Gu Congzhou flipped through a few newspapers, and found that none of the newspapers reported on the poisoning of Guan Shaoshuai, but several newspapers reported on Li Ximeng's death, but the reason for his death was changed to "sudden emergency". Seeing this, Gu Congzhou felt a little surprised, because according to the results of the previous test, the murderer should have attacked Li Ximeng; And looking at the situation when Guan Tingxiao was discharged from the hospital and Adjutant Li left in a hurry, the Kwantung Army should also know the real culprit of the poisoning, so why is it not mentioned in these reports, but it is said to be an emergency? Was the person who guessed that day not the real culprit, or was there something else hidden in it?

Gu Congzhou thought for a moment, but didn't come up with a clue, so he had to give up for the time being. Being trapped here really delayed him too much, and the matter of the photo that was being investigated before was also put on hold. I don't know if the Japanese experiments are still going on, and how many people are still being killed by them.

In the past few days, Gu Congzhou has been thinking about a question, that is, whether to tell Guan Dashuai and Guan Tingxiao about the film. Logically speaking, Gu Congzhou knew that he should speak, the Japanese wolf ambition, let Guan Dashuai and the Kwantung Army know what they did earlier, and they could have prevented it earlier. It's just that if you tell them, they will definitely ask where the photos were developed, then they will inevitably leak Lao Liu's existence. It is possible that the Kwantung Army will quietly dispose of Lao Liu in order to prevent leakage of news. However, Lao Liu is not an ordinary photo master, he is the eyeliner that his father planted in Kwantung City, if he is noticed by the Kwantung Army, will it have an impact on his father's side?

No, I still have to think of a complete solution.

Speaking of the blue-blooded incident at the beginning, Gu Congzhou still remembered that Guan Tingxiao once called Shen Yu in the middle of the night and asked him to write a fake news that the fifth battalion of the Kwantung Army was annihilated by bandits. At that time, Gu Congzhou suspected that it was related to human experiments. And with the minds of Guan Dashuai and Guan Shaoshuai, even if there are no photos, they can figure out who is suspicious, right? So in that case, this photo is not so urgently needed......

Gu Congzhou excused himself like this in his heart, and finally decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being, or wait for himself to come up with a perfect solution.

Gu Congzhou stayed in the Marshal's Mansion for two nights, and on the morning of the third day, he took blood for Guan Tingxiao again to do a test, and the results came out, Guan Tingxiao's indicators were basically normal, seeing this situation, Gu Congzhou found Adjutant Li, hoping that he could leave.

"The young marshal is now basically back to normal, and all that remains is to recuperate in peace. It's not much use for me to stay here. If the marshal is still not at ease, I can come over every morning and evening to check the young marshal, but at other times, I hope to go back to the hospital to work. ”

Adjutant Li knew that Gu Congzhou was eager to return home, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you ask." ”

Adjutant Li went out for a while, and soon came back: "Doctor Gu, the young marshal, please come over for a while." ”

"Okay."

Gu Congzhou followed Adjutant Li to Guan Tingxiao's bedroom, Guan Tingxiao was sitting at the table reading a book, and when he saw Gu Congzhou coming in, Guan Tingxiao got up: "Adjutant Li told me that Doctor Gu can go back." Thank you Dr. Gu for your careful care in the past two days. ”

"Nothing, as it should be. The young marshal has just recovered from poisoning, and he should pay more attention to rest. ”

"Okay." After Guan Tingxiao finished speaking, he gave Adjutant Li a color, and Adjutant Li understood and handed over an envelope.

"This is Dr. Gu's consultation fee." Guan Tingxiao said.

"No need, the young marshal is too polite."

"Guan's life was saved by Dr. Gu, just a little heart, Dr. Gu will accept it."

Gu Congzhou saw that Guan Tingxiao was sincere, so he nodded: "Okay, then I'll accept it." Thank you, Marshal. ”

"Doctor Gu is polite. You pack your things and go, the driver downstairs is ready, and you will send Dr. Gu back in a while. ”

"Okay, thank you, young marshal."

Gu Congzhou followed his subordinates out of Guan Tingxiao's room, and when the door closed, the smile on the corner of Guan Tingxiao's mouth gradually disappeared. He looked at Adjutant Li and asked, "He won't find out, will he?" ”

"No, it won't." Adjutant Li said, "I put all the photo film back in its original form after I finished retaking it, and he won't find out." ”

"Okay." Guan Tingxiao nodded, he took out the stack of horrific photos from the drawer of his desk, and looked at them casually, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
