Chapter 261 Unavoidable

I can no longer feel my breath.

She repeatedly probed his nose with her fingers, but she really couldn't feel his breathing.

Chi Yuan's heart beat faster and faster, and his fingers wanted to move down again and touch Mr. Qi's cheek.

She shuddered instantly.

So cold, like ice.

Chi Yuan hurriedly took a few steps back and his back hit the wall hard.

Only a dead body could be that cold.

She rushed out of the ward and grabbed the passing nurse: "The patient in that ward seems to have died. Go and have a look!"

Chi Yuan's voice was not small, and she was in a state of panic, so she unconsciously raised her voice, which also attracted the attention of others.

Since this was a hospital designated by the police, all the guards subconsciously became alert as soon as she spoke.

Qi Wang rushed over immediately after hearing the noise.

Chi Yuanze kept holding the nurse's wrist and his whole body was shaking.

"Miss, calm down first. I'll find someone to check it out. You keep holding me back, and I can't help you call anyone."

Most people who work in hospitals have seen enough anger.

People may die in hospitals every day due to failed surgeries, accidents, or natural causes, and it is common for their families to feel sad.

They are not indifferent, they just have seen too much.

"Yuanyuan, let go first." The man held her hand and soothed her softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid. Let go first so the nurse can call someone over."

Chi Yuan's mind was filled with the image of Mr. Qi with his eyes closed.

There is no breath of life.

How could this be... They were still chatting and eating the medicinal food she made half an hour ago, and now they are separated by life and death when they meet again.

Seeing that she was on the verge of collapse, the nurse thought for a moment and explained, "Don't worry, it might just be temporary shock. This is very common in hospitals, but if you don't let go, it might really be too late."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan's expression relaxed a little, and Qi Wang seized this opportunity to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.

The nurse was able to escape.

"It'll be fine, Yuanyuan. Relax. You've already seen a doctor. It's not your fault."

Even Qi Wang had never seen her so broken down.

Even when the two broke up and had a fight, and it was very ugly, Chi Yuan did not show any fear.

Is she now... worried about the old man's death?

Qi Wang hugged her and sat on the bench in the corridor, feeling her heavy breathing, as if she was unable to breathe.

Just by holding her, he could feel her heart almost beating out of her chest.

Chi Yuan kept taking deep breaths, hoping to calm down as soon as possible.

"Did I do something wrong? Grandpa's health is not good, and I still prepared medicinal food for him. Did I do something wrong?"

Apart from the medicinal food, Chi Yuan couldn't think of any other reason.

"It's not your fault. The herbs you prepared were strictly configured according to Grandpa's physical condition. There can't be any mistakes."

Chi Yuan hopes so.

"Don't be impatient, it has already happened, let's wait for the result first."

Chi Yuan leaned tightly against the man's chest and noticed that his heart was beating very fast as well.

Is he nervous too?

Chi Yuan unconsciously asked: "If grandpa really died, would you be sad?"

After all, he was his biological son, and the elders of the Qi family took him back.

"meeting."

This time, Qi Wang answered without hesitation.

"Humans are not plants or trees. Who can be heartless? This time I am telling the truth."

In the face of life and death, all grudges are unimportant. Qi Wang couldn't remember the first time he thought of this sentence.

But if Mr. Qi survived and still chose to care about Qi Ye, he thought that the gap between him and Mr. Qi would never be eliminated.

"Please don't be in any trouble."

Soon a doctor came out, took off his mask and shook his head: "Unfortunately, Mr. Qi has indeed passed away. The preliminary diagnosis is that the cause was systemic organ failure caused by poisoning. The specific cause is still under investigation."

“…”

Chi Yuan immediately stood up and took out the unwashed thermal box: "Take a look, is there anything wrong with this medicinal meal?"

She didn't understand pharmacology, and this medicinal food was made by Uncle Qin.

Is it possible?

Just thinking about it, Chi Yuan felt a chill on his back.

The doctor took the incubator and took a quick look at it, and a serious look immediately appeared between his brows.

"Did you bring this?"

Chi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded: "Is it really the medicinal food that's the problem?"

"There are several conflicting herbs in this. Ordinary people might suffer from diarrhea and vomiting after eating it, but Mr. Qi is old and could die if he comes into contact with it. The specific circumstances need to be investigated. Please..."

The doctor waved to the guards and said, "See how we handle this. There are several conflicting herbs in this insulated box. Putting them together will be toxic."

The police officer understood and said to Chi Yuan, "Miss, please stay and cooperate with our investigation."

Qi Wang's face instantly darkened: "He is not the murderer."

"Please don't jump to conclusions until everything is fully investigated. Everything depends on the evidence."

Chi Yuan recalled what happened when he was making medicinal food.

She followed every step according to Uncle Qin's instructions.

So the murderer can only be him.

And she... without knowing anything about pharmacology, actually took the initiative to ask him for guidance, but she forgot... Uncle Qin liked Si Mingyue.

He hated the Qi family.

Especially now that Mr. Qi still favors Qi Ye and hopes to give him a stable life, this prompted Uncle Qin to take action.

Before this, Uncle Qin was responsible for taking care of Mr. Qi.

Didn’t he want to poison her before?

It's just that I happened to run into it today.

"Evidence, evidence will be available soon. It can't be her!"

Chi Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't do it, and the crime can't be pinned on me. Go back first and see how Uncle Qin is doing. Don't let him die."

Now that he was dead, she really couldn't explain it.

Qi Wang's face changed and he immediately understood what she meant.

"You...be well and wait for me."

Qi Wang left in a hurry.

To others, he might be running away, but Chi Yuan knew that he was racing against time.

Hopefully it's not too late.

Uncle Qin watched Qi Wang grow up, would he be so cruel to him?

"Mr. Officer, there's no surveillance in the kitchen. This medicinal meal was prepared under the guidance of my housekeeper. If the housekeeper dies or refuses to admit what he did, will I be convicted?"

Chi Yuan asked very calmly. Before she knew the answer, she had already thought of the worst possible outcome.

For the crime of intentional homicide, he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

The police officer smiled and said, "Miss, you underestimate us. The evidence is insufficient and we cannot convict you. Relax, but your cooperation with the investigation is unavoidable."

Chi Yuan was taken back to the detention center that same day.

After cooperating with the police to complete the record, the room she lived in was unusually quiet, which made her doubt for a moment that she was the only one there.
