Chapter 33: Coffee Beans

In such a touching and heartfelt relationship, not a father and daughter, but can also get along as a father and daughter, Meng Xingyun sent Duoduo back to her grandmother's house. Actually, he was reluctant. However, no matter which aspect, it is better for Duoduo to return to her family.

The night began to deepen. This small courtyard, which has been lively for a long time, has once again returned to the quiet it was when it first came. Only Mengxingyun and Mengluo are at home.

Looking at the empty room, Meng Xingyun sat in the living room, feeling extremely lost.

"My lord, how is it going to go to Brother Mo today?" he found a topic and chatted with Mengluo, who had just entered the door. In this way, you can not only transfer your heart that is occupied by emptiness, but also show humanistic care to Mengluo, which is the primary responsibility of a qualified subordinate.

"Well, it's okay, it's just too busy. The progress of the company is in accordance with the plan of the organic brother, in the process. It's just that many problems need to be solved by him personally, and the department personnel are in the run-in period. ”

"That's good, run-in, it'll be fine after a while. By the way, what's wrong with that little boy's illness?" Meng Xingyun remembered the woman he and Mo Ji had met at the train station.

"The little one is recovering well, after all, it's the best hospital. ”

"Great, I'll also deal with the matter of Duoduo today, everyone is so harmonious, then we can rest assured and bold to investigate the matter of Maple Leaf and Shu Shenshen. By the way, my lord, when are we leaving?"

Mengluo looked at the wall clock on the wall, and the hands pointed to eleven and fifteen.

"Wait, we'll leave at twelve. ”

"Okay, then I'll make a cup of coffee. ”

Meng Xingyun came to the kitchen and looked at the leftovers that he hadn't eaten at night, feeling very uncomfortable. There have been no leftovers at home for a long time, and when Mo Xin was there before, those that were not eaten were all eaten by Mo Xin sitting there and eating them up little by little. He said that leftovers are not delicious when they are hot, so it is better to hold on and eat them. Moreover, leftovers are not healthy either. Eat it up, so that it can be made fresh.

Now, no one eats any of them. Put it in the fridge and there is only waste.

"Hey...... In the future, you should cook a little less. Meng Xingyun sighed and put those plates in the refrigerator. Open the drawer, take out the coffee beans, and grinder. He grabbed a handful of coffee beans and threw them into the grinder, grinding the beans with his hands with a blank expression.

The coffee beans are ground and give off a rich coffee flavor. Meng Xingyun took a deep breath, he wanted the aroma of coffee to dilute the loneliness in his heart.

I don't know why, after Duoduo left, his heart seemed to have been taken away by someone, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.

He smelled the strong smell of coffee and comforted himself: maybe it was the child's innocence and cuteness, which made people a little envious.

"Huh?" Mengxingyun's surprise attracted Mengluo's gaze.

"What's wrong Xiaoyun, what are you doing?"

"My lord, this coffee doesn't taste right!"

"What?"

"You come here and smell it closely, and although the smell is masked by the strong smell of the coffee, it can't be completely hidden. Underneath the smell of coffee, there is a ...... Indescribable strange taste. My lord, come and smell what it is? I feel familiar, but I can't remember it. ”

Mengluo had a skeptical expression, slowly walked to Meng Xingyun's side, squinted his eyes and poked his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Is the coffee beans damp, or are they not fresh after a long time?"

"Of course not, this is the new beans I bought back last month, the authentic Blue Mountain, and it cost a lot of money. Meng Xingyun was very unconvinced.

Mengluozhi lowered his head, lay on the small drawer that had been ground into coffee powder, and sniffed it gently. Smelling this, Mengluo also felt that something was wrong, and the peculiar smell made Mengluo inhale hard.

"Xiaoyun, don't you think...... This tastes a bit like Nine Shifting Soul Scattering?"

As soon as Mengluo's words fell, Mengxingyun patted his head, "Yes, yes, yes, adults are really adults." I think this smell is very familiar, yes, it is the smell of the Nine Shifting Souls. ”

How do the coffee beans at home smell like poison? It's so scary. Fortunately, Mengxingyun and Mengluo have been entangled in trivial matters for a while now, and they are not in the mood to drink coffee, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been poisoned by this poison a long time ago!

"Xiaoyun, this coffee bean ......"

"My lord, it was absolutely normal when I bought it, and I tried to taste it well. Meng Xingyun was a little aggrieved, and he didn't know where the poison in this bean came from.

"Xiaoyun, I didn't mean that. I mean, it's horrible. If you think about it, someone poisoned our house without us finding out, and we don't even know when we were poisoned. If it weren't for the fact that we haven't had coffee lately, you and I might have been poisoned. ”

"Yes, sir. If it weren't for the boredom we are now idle, I slowly grind the beans, and I wouldn't have noticed the difference in the smell at all, and I would have drunk it in my stomach a long time ago, and we would have been poisoned and fell to the ground at this moment. ”

"Xiaoyun, the horror of this incident is that the person who poisoned us has a very clear purpose. But...... Who, exactly, and how?"

"For what purpose?"

"Don't you know? The reason why this poison is called Nine Shifting Soul Scattering is that its greatest effect is to make the poisoned person move to another place as if it were a soul, not in itself, and obey the words of the poisoner. Such medicine, when used on us, does not want our lives, but ...... Let's be obedient. The poisoner had no one but a heavy book. But how did he succeed? To quietly poison our homes, and to find a medium, to understand our habits, to know that we must drink coffee, and to know how to use the taste of coffee to cover up the smell of the nine souls, this must be someone who knows something about us. ”

"My lord, why do I feel a chill in my back! It's terrible...... If it's someone close to us, then why don't you just poison us? If you can poison coffee beans so easily, why go around such a big bay, if you attack us directly, maybe you will get it a long time ago. ”

"Of course not, the Nine Soul Shifts have a strange smell, it's obvious, it's that easy. You said that we seem to be fools, really! How can you say that Lord Ben is also a god, you have to be a fool, go yourself, don't pull me. Mengluo gave Meng Xingyun a roll of the eyes, she felt that Meng Xingyun was simply hopeless.

"Oh oh, yes, yes, the adults are right, Xiaoyun ignored it. Following you, adult, Xiaoyun's brain doesn't need it, and he is naturally getting more and more stupid. ”

"Okay, now is not the time to make a fool of yourself, hurry up and think about where our mistakes are!"
