Chapter 189 Control Variables

"The dog... the dog was just brought back from the veterinary hospital and just had a bath."

Xia Lili recalled the scene in the hallucination: "It had a dog tag collar around its neck."

"Okay, dog tags and collars are added to the suspicious items."

Li Qihan and Xia Lili sorted out the clues one by one.

"Think carefully, is there anything else that seems wrong?"

Xia Lili poured cold water on her face from the sink, concentrating on thinking silently.

However, at this moment, Pei Qinyue's assistant knocked on the bathroom door: "Ms. Xia, the plane is about to take off. For your safety, please return to your seat as soon as possible."

"Okay! I'll be out right away!" Xia Lili quickly responded from outside the door.

She realized she had missed a key point.

Xia Lili spoke quickly: "The way this hallucination appeared is a bit strange!"

Today, when she met Fei Shuyun and shook hands with him, she looked into Fei Shuyun's eyes seriously. Nothing happened at that time, which means that Fei Shuyun would not encounter any bad luck.

But why was it that when they were passing the cake just now and the two of them were looking at each other, another hallucination popped up? Is there a delay in the hallucination?

"I've never had this kind of delayed hallucination before. When someone encounters bad luck, they see it first, and the bad luck image pops up regardless of the situation. I can't stop it."

Xia Lili told Li Qihan about the abnormality of this hallucination.

Li Qihan also felt something was amiss: "Today's hallucinations are indeed quite unusual."

"I can't predict future misfortunes like you can, but based on experience, any anomaly is a sign of a variable."

Knowing that Xia Lili didn't have much time, he quickened his pace and said, "Think carefully, from the time you met and shook hands with Fei Shuyun to the time Fei Shuyun handed you the cake, what happened during that period of time?"

"Okay, I'll go out first and contact you later!"

Xia Lili came out of the bathroom, quickly returned to her seat and fastened her seat belt.

After a while, the plane took off.

The small plane started quickly, slid onto the runway in an instant, and then gradually climbed into the air.

Xia Lili put on earplugs and an eye mask, closed her eyes and rested, all that echoed in her mind were Li Qihan's words.

From meeting and shaking hands with Fei Shuyun to Fei Shuyun handing her a cake, what happened during this period...

variable......

Isn’t the variable just that Pei Qinyue’s assistant suddenly informed him that the plane would take off half an hour later?

After the plane took off late, Fei Shuyun called his family!

The conversation between Fei Shuyun and his father kept repeating in Xia Lili's mind!

——"Dad, maybe half an hour late..."

——"It's okay if you arrive half an hour later. That way I'll have time to pick up Tuanzi."

In other words, Fei Shuyun's parents had not originally planned to bring the puppy Tuanzi to pick up Fei Shuyun at the airport because the puppy was temporarily at the pet shop for a bath and deworming, and they did not have enough time.

But the plane arrived half an hour late, so Fei Shuyun's parents had time to pick up Tuanzi and go to the airport to pick him up.

The variable is the puppy Dumpling!

Xia Lili's mind is now full of the scene of Fei Shuyun picking up Tuanzi and rubbing his face against him to "suck the dog". Fei Shuyun's face rubbed against the collar on Tuanzi's neck many times!

Xia Lili finally figured out why she didn't have any hallucinations when she first met Fei Shuyun.

The weather warning from the tower said that there would be a sudden strong air current.

When she met Fei Shuyun, there was no sudden strong air current in the sky.

The plane must take off normally!

I see!

Xia Lili suddenly understood, and everything became clear to her. She couldn't wait to tell Li Qihan about her discovery.

After feeling that the plane had entered the stratosphere where the air flow was stable, Xia Lili unbuckled her seat belt and immediately went to the bathroom.

Fortunately, private jets are equipped with advanced anti-interference avionics equipment and onboard WiFi, so mobile phones can make calls and surf the Internet normally during the flight.

Xia Lili quickly called Li Qihan.

"Captain Li! I found the variable!"

After the call was connected, Xia Lili looked excited: "Fei Shuyun's parents didn't plan to bring their dog Tuanzi to pick him up at the airport, but because the flight was postponed for half an hour,

"So the problem is probably with the puppy!"

"There must be something wrong with the dog's collar."

"Very good." After listening to Xia Lili's analysis, Li Qihan said, "Now go ask Fei Shuyun a few questions."

"Is the dog tag collar around his puppy's neck a fixed one, or was it recently replaced?"

"If it's a fixed wearer, which veterinary hospital does his parents often take his dog to for a bath? I need to ask someone to go to the veterinary hospital to investigate immediately."

——"Okay, Captain Li, I'll be there right away!"

Xia Lili came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Fei Shuyun wearing an eye mask and resting with his eyes closed, he was troubled.

She walked over to Fei Shuyun's seat, squatted down, and said softly, "Excuse me, Doctor Fei, I want to ask you a few questions, very urgent."

Fei Shuyun was only in a light sleep and was soon awakened by Xia Lili. He took off the blindfold, his face without any anger, and his tone was calm and gentle: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I want to ask your Tuanzi, has his collar always been the same silver dog tag? The letters on the dog tag are GIFT."

After Xia Lili finished asking, she had already thought of an excuse in her head: "When I was in the bathroom and checking my phone, I saw a notice about finding a Samoyed in Yangcheng. The dog looked very small and seemed to resemble the Tuanzi you described. I was a little worried, so I wanted to confirm with you."

"Yes! Yes! Its dog tag has GIFT engraved on it."

Fei Shuyun suddenly lost all sleepiness and spoke excitedly, "After I picked up Tuanzi, my parents loved him very much and treated him like their second child. They even had a silver-plated gold dog collar made for him. 'Gift' means present, and Tuanzi is a gift from heaven to our family."

Xia Lili confirmed that the collar was fixed and had no problems before, so it was most likely that the problem occurred during the time the dog was taking a bath at the pet shop.

"I've seen this before: someone carved the word 'gift' on a dog tag. To prevent mistakes..."

Xia Lili lobbed a second question: "Do you know which veterinary clinic your parents often take their dog to for baths and deworming? I want to see if it's close to where the poster found the dog."

Fei Shuyun frowned slightly. "My parents are very good to dogs. Without exception, they always go to a large chain pet hospital, the Yuwang branch of Ruida Pet Hospital, which is five kilometers away from my home."

"Oh, that person and the poster who found the dog are not in the same area, more than ten or twenty kilometers away."

Xia Lili showed an awkward expression at the right moment, and said apologetically, "Sorry, it's not a puppy. It seems to be a mistake."

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, Dr. Fei."
