Chapter 321 Suspicion of Lin Zhong
Chapter 321 Suspicion of Lin Zhong
"That's the best. As for the person who poisoned us, we'll just have to find him slowly."
Si Nanzhao was finally relieved after hearing Yunbei's words. He was really worried that Yunbei would deliberately not take the antidote in order to catch the person who poisoned him.
If Yun Bei knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say that she was not stupid and how could she joke with her own body just to make the person behind her show up.
Furthermore, the person behind the scenes may not necessarily show up on his own initiative. He may be watching in secret and secretly laughing.
After dinner, Yunbei took the antidote half an hour later.
Then, she felt sleepy and fell asleep in the space. Si Nanzhao did not go out, but stayed with Yunbei, otherwise he would still be worried.
Fortunately, Yunbei didn't sleep for long and woke up in about an hour. Looking at Si Nanzhao who had been guarding him, Yunbei felt guilty and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Really?" Si Nanzhao was still a little worried, fearing that Yunbei was deliberately lying in order to comfort him.
Yun Bei naturally understood the meaning of his words, and directly reached out to hug his waist and said, "Really, I'm not lying to you. Don't worry, I won't joke about my body."
After talking for a while, Yunbei decided to leave the space. Otherwise, if they stayed inside, they wouldn't be able to find anyone outside.
After all, it is still the Chinese New Year, and it would be bad if someone came to visit and couldn't find her. It would also easily expose the existence of her space, so it is better to stay in the space as little as possible.
Si Nanzhao naturally would not object, so the two of them left the space together. Because the time flowed faster in the space, it was still evening outside when they left.
Yunbei took the antidote and slept for a while, and he was not sleepy at all. So the two decided to go out for a walk and feel the excitement of the New Year.
However, when they were about to go out, they found that the door of the yard was locked from the outside. It was obvious that Lin Zhong had gone out and had not returned yet.
At first, the two didn't think much about it. They thought Lin Zhong had gone out to play and would probably be back soon.
But as time went by, Lin Zhong never came back, and the two couldn't help but become worried.
Finally, the couple discussed it and decided to climb over the wall to look for someone.
Otherwise, if something really happened to Lin Zhong, they would have no way to explain to the old man.
Soon, the two found a ladder and climbed up the wall. The neighbor was surprised to see them climbing over the wall and joked, "Why are you climbing over the wall on New Year's Day?"
"This is when Uncle Lin went out and locked us in. It's already past nine o'clock and he hasn't come back yet. We are a little worried."
After listening to Si Nanzhao's words, everyone finally understood why they climbed over the wall.
At this time, the neighbor, Granny Hu, said, "I think I saw Lin Zhong go to the alley at the back. You can look for him over there, at the second to last house. He often goes there recently."
"Thank you, Grandma Hu." Yun Bei thanked her with a smile, then walked towards the alley behind with Si Nanzhao.
As they walked along the road, Yunbei recalled the look on Granny Hu's face when she said that, and asked Si Nanzhao, "Nanzhao, did you notice that Granny Hu's expression was a little off when she said that just now?"
Si Nanzhao recalled the expression on Granny Hu's face when she spoke, nodded, and said, "Something does seem to be wrong."
"It seems that Uncle Lin has hidden a lot of things from us."
"We've been busy with Aunt Fei's affairs lately, and have paid less attention to him. I don't know what's attracting him in the alley behind. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm afraid he's been cheated."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as just being cheated." Yun Bei thought of the poison in his body and some doubts began to arise in his heart.
The poison must have been ingested, and even during this time when she was in the hospital taking care of Ji Fei, she had been eating home-cooked meals.
She once suspected that there was something wrong with the food, but Si Nanzhao and her father ate the same food and nothing happened.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn't the food that was the problem. So now she was still wondering what went wrong and got her into trouble.
"Wife, are you doubting..." Si Nanzhao didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Yunbei understood what he wanted to say.
So, she openly admitted, "I do have suspicions, but I have no evidence. Also, I haven't figured out the source of the poison, so I can't be sure."
"Don't worry, we will investigate slowly and we will find out eventually." Si Nanzhao's face looked a little ugly. If it was really done by Lin Zhong, even if he had saved the old man's life, he would not let him go.
"Well, let's not jump to conclusions. Let's go see what's over there first."
"it is good!"
The two of them quickly arrived at the place and looked at the closed door, hesitating whether or not to knock.
Just when I was struggling, I heard footsteps, as if someone was about to come out.
The couple looked at each other and decided to find a place to hide first. So they looked around and soon saw a big tree, which was not far away. They could see people and hear voices.
So, Er quickly climbed up the big tree and looked at the gate of that house.
Soon the gate opened, and Lin Zhong and a woman came out. Yun Bei looked at the woman carefully, who looked to be about fifty years old. She was dressed quite fashionably, and she looked gentle.
She and Lin Zhong are very close and somewhat intimate, and you can tell at a glance that their relationship is not simple.
Si Nanzhao and Yunbei watched quietly, listening to the two people talking with their ears perked up.
The two of them lingered at the door for a long time before Lin Zhong reluctantly said goodbye to the woman and left with a flashlight.
Si Nanzhao and Yunbei took note of the woman's appearance and decided to come back during the day to find out who she was.
After seeing Lin Zhong off, the woman quickly closed the gate and went back into the house.
Back in the house, the woman took a look at the teacup that Lin Zhong had drunk from, poured the tea out and put it aside, waiting for him to use it next time he came.
It can be seen that she dislikes Lin Zhong very much.
However, Si Nanzhao and Yun Bei didn't know this. They came down from the tree only after they saw Lin Zhong walking away, and then followed him closely.
When Lin Zhong was almost home, the two of them quickened their pace to catch up with him.
Lin Zhong was walking, and when he heard footsteps, he couldn't help but look back. This look startled him, and then he asked guiltily: "Nan Zhao, Yun Bei, aren't you sleeping at home? Why are you outside?"
"Yunbei woke up earlier and wanted to eat something. I was afraid that it would disturb your rest, so I planned to go out and try my luck to see if I could buy something to eat. But I didn't expect that the gate was locked from the outside, so I had to climb over the wall to get out."
"By the way, Uncle Lin, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
