"I'm just selling balloons, where am I supposed to buy anesthetics?" Huang Jun kept protesting his innocence.

After inquiring with the duty manager and waiters at the Lovers' Restaurant, it was confirmed that Huang Jun had indeed been selling balloons at their doorstep for many years. Since he was there almost every day, they had all gotten to know each other.

The restaurant staff all believed that the man selling balloons was not a bad person.

"Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Li Nan asked while flipping through the interrogation records.

“There are surveillance cameras inside and outside the restaurant, but unfortunately, the cameras inside the restaurant only cover the cashier area. There are also cameras on the street, but the distance is wrong. They only captured a part of Huang Jun, specifically the area near the window when the explosion occurred, but the image quality is too poor.”

"Let's go, I'll go take a look!"

Li Nan and Yang Bairong watched the surveillance videos on the road twice more, and even reviewed the videos from the previous month. It proved that Huang Jun, the balloon seller, did indeed appear at the restaurant frequently, even every day, as a small balloon vendor.

So, was the bursting of the balloon an accident?

Where did the high concentration of anesthetic in the balloon come from?

After reviewing the surveillance footage again, Li Nan noticed a detail.

Before the balloon burst, Huang Jun walked to the window and seemed to say something to Gao Siming in the restaurant. A few seconds later, Huang Jun took out a lighter and lit the balloon.

What did they say?

Could this be considered a point of contention?

The balloon vendor outside the Lovers' Restaurant talks to what appears to be a couple inside, trying to sell his balloons. Is that how it works?

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and only a rough outline could be seen, but the scene after the explosion also aroused Li Nan's suspicion.

After the balloon exploded, the two people in the restaurant seemed to have a dispute. Gao Siming first bent down, then got up and took something from the table, seemingly about to attack Peng Yuanyuan.

Then, Peng Yuanyuan blocked the way, snatched the things from Gao Siming's hands, and casually slapped Gao Siming—or was it something else?

The video is too blurry; even after the technical department has processed it, it's still not clear.

What is certain is that the two of them had an argument and even started fighting. What was Gao Siming holding?

Why didn't either of them mention this during my questioning? Why did they lie together?

Is it the tacit understanding that couples once had?

All the suspicious items from the scene have been brought back. Will there be any answers there?

At this moment, Qin Wen, in the laboratory, was also deep in thought as she looked at the small, square metal box in her hand.

"This is a portable syringe's insulated case. How did something like this end up at the scene? There's only Gao Ge's fingerprint on the case, but where's the syringe? And what's inside the syringe?"

Hearing footsteps outside, Qin Wen quickly put the box away and placed it in a hidden spot.

Li Nan walked to the lab door, but didn't dare to go in. Standing at the door, she asked, "Xiao Wen, by the way, when you were doing the experiment, did you see a box this big? It looked like it was on Gao Ge's desk?"

Qin Wen was startled; this thing was indeed problematic.

At that moment, the last vestige of feeling Qin Wen had for Gao Siming came into play, and she buried the box even deeper.

"A box, on Gao Ge's table? No, I've checked all the evidence brought back from the scene, there's no box that big." Qin Wen made a gesture of the same size as Li Nan's, and said a little guiltyly, "If you're not sure, come in and take a look yourself, there really isn't one!"

Li Nan was just asking casually, hoping for the best. "No need, no need, I was just asking. Don't I trust my wife?"

Li Nan glanced at her watch. "Honey, it's almost eight o'clock. What should we eat tonight?"

"All you ever do is eat! Let me change my clothes and we'll go home and eat leftovers!"

After Li Nan left, Qin Wen nervously took out the box. "Brother Gao, whatever's inside, I promise I'll keep it a secret!"

...

As night fell, Gao Zimin, who had been running around with Gao Siming for half a day, had fallen into a deep sleep. After the lumbar puncture, Gao Siming had been lying down for a full six hours and was no longer sleepy at all.

Looking at his exhausted sister, Gao Siming felt a pang of heartache. He had promised not to let his sister suffer anymore, but how could he have broken his promise again?

"Sigh," Gao Siming sighed. He had originally planned to turn over and move around a bit, but then he remembered that he had become disabled again, and not just any disabled person, but one with multiple fractures all over his body.

"What exactly is going on?"

Only now does Gao Siming have the time and energy to think about what exactly happened.

"Dog Egg, are you there?"

"Brother, I'm here, I've always been here..."

What exactly happened today?

Gou Dan sighed and began to recount the whole story.

After listening, Gao Siming suddenly realized that his operation this time was completely unnecessary! It was just a ridiculous plan!

In fact, the trap had already been set, just waiting for the right moment to strike Peng Yuanyuan dead.

Why did I even bother to create this lovers' restaurant? It was completely unnecessary!

The syringe contained a blood sample I had deliberately kept after being discharged from the hospital, containing undiluted DSTH solution, purely as a keepsake.

Later, I thought about it and wondered if injecting this underground substance into a person might cause the same illness as mine.

After much thought, it seemed most appropriate to apply this to Peng Yuanyuan, which is why Gao Siming disregarded Gou Dan's objections and pulled this stunt.

Sui Wen naturally agreed. Given his volatile temper, he would wholeheartedly approve of anything that made Peng Yuanyuan suffer.
