Chapter 71: Attempted Poisoning
He is a person of high moral character, and at the same time, he has always cared for Miss Cao Hong as his own granddaughter. After listening to Lang Xiaobai's words, he said: "That must have been deliberate in advance." As long as I can do it, I will definitely try to help you. ”
The two men talked for a long time, and then they decided to rush to the manor that night.
Cao Luoxiu, who was sick and bedridden, was in the bedroom on the second floor, and Cao Hong was taking care of him at his bedside.
Dr. Glo asked Cao Hong to go out temporarily, and Cao Hong immediately walked out obediently. The doctor treated the patient, and then he introduced Lang Xiaobai to Cao Luoxiu.
"This is my friend, since I need to rest for a few days, he will temporarily diagnose me in a short period of time, his name is Mr. Lang." Doctor Glo said to Cao Luoxiu.
Cao Luoxiu was very thin and weak, and his spirit was also sluggish, so he only greeted him with his eyes, as if to say, "Please take care of me." ”
After examining the patient, the two walked down the hallway.
"Doctor, what is he suffering from?"
"The heart is very fragile."
"Could the thug who wanted to kill Miss Cao Hong give poison to her father?"
"There's no way to know. However, her father's illness would flare up from time to time, and sometimes his feet would be paralyzed and he couldn't even walk, which seemed to be the opposite of a normal heart attack...... It's very weird, it's really an inexplicable strange disease. ”
At this point, Dr. Glo paused, and then continued, "Perhaps, as you said, someone poisoned someone, and in that case, what kind of poison is it?"
Dr. Glo stopped talking, and Lang Xiaobai fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he saw Miss Cao Hong sitting in a restaurant at the end of the corridor, sitting alone and full of worry, putting a bowl of black tea to her lips and taking a sip, but then frowning slightly.
After seeing this situation, Lang Xiaobai's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran over and pressed Cao Hong's hand.
"Hair ...... Did something happen?" Cao Hong looked at Lang Xiaobai in horror.
"Nope!" Lang Xiaobai said with a smile.
"The medicine is bitter and hard to swallow, is it?" Dr. Glo said.
"Yes, maybe it's because there's medicine in it."
"What medicine?" Lang Xiaobai asked.
"It's the potion I need to drink every night, the sedative I got back from the doctor."
"Yes." Dr. Glo said: "Because she has to take care of the sick and worry about the fatigue of the patients, she often can't sleep at night, so I prescribed her a medicine, which is a calming medicine for the nerves, which is strange! That medicine shouldn't have any taste!
Miss, you started taking this medicine two weeks ago. You should know that this medicine is not bitter!"
"Yes, I didn't drink it before and didn't have any bitter taste at all, but this cup of medicine has a strange taste, and it's still a little crispy on the tongue."
Dr. Glo then took a sip, but immediately spit it out: "It's bitter and astringent...... It's not the potion you drank before at all. ”
Cao Hong's face changed suddenly.
Lang Xiaobai picked up the potion and watched: "Where is the bottle containing the potion?"
At this moment, Cao Hong couldn't speak, just grabbed her chest with both hands, as if her heart was hurting like a knife, her face was pale, and she looked in great pain.
The two of them hurriedly carried her into the bedroom and let her lie flat on the bed. "Hurry up and find a way to get her to spit out the poison!"
Dr. Glo took an emetic from her purse, poured it into her mouth, and ordered the maid to watch over it.
Lang Xiaobai took this opportunity to run to the living room, rummaged through the things in the cupboard, and ran into the kitchen, where the maid and Chen Jie were eating, Lang Xiaobai said hello to them, and searched, but did not find anything like a bottle containing poison or a paper containing poison. He then went up to the second floor, where Dr. Glo stood in front of the bed, while the maid was nowhere to be seen.
"How's it going?"
"I'm asleep."
"It's not a big deal, is it?"
"Being able to sleep soundly is not a big problem. Luckily, she took a small sip, otherwise she would have been in trouble. ”
"What kind of poison?"
"We don't know until we analyze it. But this must be a very toxic poison, who did it?"
"Quite simply, it's either the people inside the manor, or the people who can come and go freely in and out of the manor. That man was a terrible demon. He used a file to break the chain that tied the dog, moved the stone above the eaves of the balcony to make it fall, shot at Cao Hong, and now poisoned her to kill her, and also intended to kill Cao Luoxiu!"
"Maybe Mr. Cao Luoxiu has already eaten some kind of poison, so he is suffering from this strange disease, this must be done by people who can get close to him!"
"In this case, they should be servants, but they are all loyal and trustworthy people!"
"Anyway, the other party is a ruthless person. He wandered around the manor day and night, and put the lives of the father and daughter at risk. ”
"If we stop this from happening, how can we do it?"
"Usually, you just need to be careful, because there is no clue about what kind of person the other party is. In short, all those who are free to leave the land, including servants, should be strictly guarded. There is nothing else we can do. Doctor, on the pretext that we are not at ease with Mr. Cao Luoxiu's condition, we will stay in the hall of the cubicle tonight and monitor all night. This place is not too far from Cao Luoxiu and Cao Hong's room, so it is easy to act. ”
Subsequently, the two of them discussed and took a break from shift to be able to listen to all movements all night.
When it was Lang Xiaobai's turn to listen, he sneaked out of the hall, carefully checked around, and then climbed over the high wall, not knowing what to do, and the sleeping doctor did not know about it. Lang Xiaobai jumped out of the manor, rode the motorcycle that was still hidden in the forest, twisted the accelerator, and sped away. Early the next morning, he returned to Dongzhou, first met with Yingzi, and then immediately gathered two of his men.
I don't know what Lang Xiaobai said to the two subordinates who came rushing over, so they immediately turned around and left in a hurry.
Lang Xiaobai and Yingzi drove outside for a whole day. It was unclear what he had found, and he drove his motorcycle back to the manor as fast as he could.
The gate of the manor opened, and he hid his motorcycle deep in the forest, and then passed through the gate and went up to the second floor. At this time, the doctor was sitting on the edge of Cao Hong's bed, whispering something.
"Are you feeling better?"
Lang Xiaobai said hello very easily. Cao Hong nodded and smiled, and the complexion on her face returned to its original state, like a beautiful flower. It may not be a problem depending on the situation.
"I haven't seen you all day, where have you gone? Is something big going on?" The old doctor asked worriedly.
"No, nothing happened. …… What's going on here?"
"It's not bad here, Mr. Cao Luoxiu is in good spirits, his appetite is also good, and Miss Cao Hong is as good as ever."
"That's fantastic. In that case, let's go now!"
"Let's go? Where are you going?" Cao Hong couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Time is running out, and we can't afford to delay any longer. Hurry up and get dressed up, hurry up and ......."
Lang Xiaobai stomped his feet while urging, but then calmed down again.
"Don't be in such a hurry, miss, let's leave tomorrow morning, we'll leave this manor for a week or two."
"Ahh Where are you going?"
