80: The black-bellied officer read my mind and fell in love with me

The old Chinese doctor was brought by Su Yin. It was Mr. Sun who helped Su Yi prepare ointment and medicated bath for Zhou Jinchuan last time.

So when Zhao Lan saw him, she stepped forward very excitedly and thanked him.

Mr. Sun looked at Zhou Jinchuan's recovery and was very pleased, but he always felt something was strange.

What he prepared was just some medicinal materials that could reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, and activate menstruation. They were not as exaggerated as Zhao Lan said.

But when I think about how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world may not be so exaggerated in the first place, I don't feel weird about it.

Su Yi was afraid that Zhao Lan's secret would be exposed if he continued to chat, so he quickly told Mr. Sun about Mr. Zhou's illness.

"Mr. Sun, why don't you help me take a look first?"

Zhao Lan also quickly came to her senses and invited the person to Mr. Zhou's bedroom.

Mr. Sun went in for about a quarter of an hour, then stood up and walked out, asking Su Yi, "By the way, what did you say you smelled on the phone?"

Su Yi hurriedly replied, "It's not very obvious now, but when we first met Grandpa, I did smell the obvious smell of bitter almonds."

Mr. Sun nodded appreciatively, "Yes, you are very attentive and have a keen sense of smell. If my diagnosis is correct, it should be someone who poisoned you with bitter almonds."

When everyone said this, Zhao Lan and others were all surprised.

"Bitter almonds? But I've never bought anything like this at home."

Su Yin was also a little puzzled, "Although bitter almonds are toxic, they are not very toxic. It shouldn't be so powerful, right?"

Mr. Sun nodded and then explained, "Although bitter almonds are not very toxic as medicinal materials, it is because we peel and pinch the tips when preparing them. If someone happens to use the most toxic skin and almonds, "It's very toxic."

"You'd better search for it as soon as possible. If it continues to be eaten by mistake, it will be troublesome."

After saying that, Mr. Sun went to the table on the side and started writing the prescription.

When Zhao Lan and Zhou Hongyi learned that such a thing was hidden in their home, their faces turned slightly pale with fright, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

He quickly called two servicemen over for questioning.

When the two people heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they kept promising that they had never tampered with the food.

These two have been working in the family for many years, so they are indeed trustworthy.

Everyone sorted through everything Mr. Zhou had eaten in the past two days, and finally one of the waiters said hesitantly, "When I was packing Mr. Zhou's snacks the night before yesterday, I found that he had a box of almond cake left. I saw It smelled a bit strange after being there for so many days, so I said it would be better to throw it away. The old man was heartbroken and couldn’t bear to part with it, so he ate two pieces after dinner.”

Zhou Jinchuan was stunned after hearing this, "Almond cake?"

"That's right, it's one of those snacks Comrade Su Yi sent over before he left."

This time it was Su Yi's turn to say, "But I never sent almond cake."

After saying that, he quickly asked, "Is there anything left of that thing?"

"Yes, the old man went to the hospital later, and we didn't have time to clean up."

Zhou Jinchuan also noticed something was wrong, so he went to find the remaining almond cake himself.

Su Yi took it and took a look and felt something was wrong. When she opened the bottom of the box, she saw that the box was different.

After sniffing it carefully, it indeed smelled like bitter almonds.

He handed the things directly to Zhou Jinchuan, "This box is not the box I usually use to pack snacks. Look at the bottom of the box."

Zhou Jinchuan naturally believed her, but in front of so many people, he still had to confirm it for her.

So she asked her mother to get the snacks Su Yi gave her.

After Zhao Lan brought over the remaining snacks he had left in confusion, everyone immediately saw the difference.

Even Zhao Lan was shocked, "If you don't tell me, I really can't see it. Who is so vicious that he would sneak such similar things into the old man's food?"

The orderly was also dumbfounded, "No wonder the old man said it tasted a little weird and was a little bitter."

Zhao Lan glared at her speechlessly, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We all thought that Comrade Su Yi was afraid that the old man was not in good health and did not dare to add sugar. Besides, the almonds are a bit bitter."

Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, Zhao Lan was so angry that she wanted to send them to the police for investigation.

"There have been no outsiders at home in the past two days. Besides you, who else could have entered the old man's room and put this thing?"

When the two servicemen heard this, they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.

"It's really not us, and if it were we wouldn't have spoken out."

"By the way, didn't Sister Ailing and her wife come back the day before yesterday?"

Zhao Lan couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Zhou Ailing? She has been scolded in front of the old man since she came back that day. When did she run into the old man's house?"

"She didn't go, but my brother-in-law did. At that time, he said he would help us take out the old man's bedding to dry it, so he went in and helped us take it out."

When Zhao Lan heard this, he immediately looked at Zhou Hongyi with a shocked look on his face, "I'm going to call the two of them right now to find out."

Zhou Hongyi said with a serious face, "No, don't act rashly until the matter is investigated clearly. For the time being, today's incident will be treated as if it never happened."

After saying that, he looked at the two servicemen and warned, "Especially you, don't go back or contact the outside world for the time being. I will naturally clear your name after the matter is investigated."

Both of them nodded in understanding.

Zhou Jinchuan saw that Mr. Sun's prescription had been written, so he offered to drive him back and get the medicine.

Su Yin saw that it was not easy to stay, so she followed Su Yi into the car and prepared to leave.

On the way, Zhou Jinchuan spoke carefully, "Mr. Sun, today, thanks to you for diagnosing my grandfather, otherwise I don't know what to do. But this matter is strange. Before we find out the truth, I hope you can keep it a secret for us."

Mr. Sun agreed readily and smiled, "Don't worry, I have been practicing medicine for most of my life, and I have seen a lot of strange things. I will never say a word to the outside world if I shouldn't say it."

"But there is one thing I am still curious about and can't help asking more. I just heard from your family that the old man ate two pieces in total. The toxicity is not small. I don't know how the hospital treated him. He was discharged so soon?"
