Chapter 325 Speculation
Su Tong looked at Qin Yi, the man she trusted wholeheartedly, and she didn't want to hide anything from him!
But this was the only thing she didn't dare to say, after all, it was too unbelievable to say it out loud.
Even if he could handle it, she wasn't ready yet, and now wasn't the right time.
She hugged Qin Yi tightly and buried her head in his neck, "Brother Yi! I..."
Qin Yi laughed softly:
"My Tongbao has a secret, I've known it for a long time! But, this secret is obviously bigger than I thought!"
Qin Yi rubbed her head and said softly:
"No hurry! Tell me when you want to!"
Su Tong nodded in his arms.
"alright!"
Qin Yi finally sat up straight and said to Su Tong:
"Now, tell me what you think is important!"
"You, are you leaving in three hours?"
She started by asking an important question.
Qin Yi raised his wrist to look at his watch and said:
"I didn't have time to explain it clearly just now. It took some time to find Lao Lin and Lao Qi, and Chen Yunfeng took up some time. Plus, I waited here for half an hour. Now, I have one hour left."
"One hour!?"
Su Tong was shocked. She regretted that she had just wasted a lot of time. Her mind was a little confused at the moment. She had to sort it out and decide where to start.
"Brother Yi, I have a lot of things I want to say. First, I want to learn more about Zhang Shoucheng's case. There are doubts about his case, but I don't have the authority."
Qin Yi tapped her nose and said with amusement:
"That's the most important thing you said."
Su Tong nodded, "This is about Lin Jiao, and Lin Jiao is related to the Su and Qin families. I think it's better to find out more!"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "This case has not been closed because there are doubts. Among the brothers who worked with Zhang Shoucheng, there is a fellow villager named Zhang Liansheng, and their confessions are inconsistent with Zhang Shoucheng's.
"Inconsistent?"
"Yes! I had already accepted the assignment and left before the trial results came out. The case was directly handled by the Chaodong District Public Security Bureau."
"You said last time that Lin Li didn't know the whole story. Is this what you meant?"
"Not only that! I have met Aunt Lin, and it was actually Aunt Lin who took the initiative to bring up the matter of cancelling the engagement! And she sounded quite apologetic! I'm not in a position to ask about the inside story, but I have always been very open about this matter!"
Su Tong thought for a while and said, "Brother Yi! I think I know the reason. Lin Jiao...it is very likely that she had an abortion. Moreover, her body is seriously deficient and she has obvious symptoms of blood loss. This means that she may not have had an abortion through normal means!"
"Her mother is a doctor. If she knew about this, she wouldn't let her body be injured like this! She also wouldn't agree to let her go on a long trip! Maybe she just noticed something and took the initiative to tell you!"
"oh--"
Qin Yi was also surprised. "The last time you took her pulse, you hesitated for a long time. Is it because of this?"
Su Tong nodded. "This is a serious matter. I dare not jump to conclusions. This time, I met Lin Jiao's attending physician again. After learning about her physical condition after being admitted to the hospital, I was basically sure that she not only had an abortion, but it was also around the time when she had the accident."
Qin Yi nodded, "This matter must be investigated thoroughly! I will let Lin Li go to the Public Security Bureau for a while. You will be going abroad soon, so don't worry! Just wait for the results!"
"Now, come to the second thing you wanted to say."
Su Tong thought for a moment before speaking: "Brother Yi! Have you heard of Zhai Yuanzhi? Professor Zhai's son!"
"I know! When he was in school, he was very famous in Beijing! A well-known genius! Then he disappeared for many years, and I heard he just came back these few days!"
"My elder sister invited me to dinner that day, and I heard him talking to a foreign girl. He should have come to Beijing before because he dated that girl. But why didn't he meet Professor Zhai and the others until these few days? He's obviously hiding something!"
Qin Yi frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Besides this, what else did you notice?"
He knew that since Su Tong mentioned this person, he would not become suspicious just because of this conversation.
Su Tong said: "He is indeed a genius! He is very free-spirited and imaginative, and also a little... evil! In the past few days of getting along with him, his style of doing things is that of being extremely confident and paranoid. He is the kind of person who doesn't like to be bound by rules!"
Su Tong seemed a little confused. She grabbed Qin Yi's arm and said:
"Brother Yi! I just have some guesses...but I have no basis..."
Qin Yihui held her hand and pulled her into his arms:
"You can say anything in front of me! It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong! Just tell me..."
"Brother Yi! Do you still remember the expert who poisoned Ma Liu in Henan Province? He must be proficient in not only chemistry but also pharmacology, and he must also understand the local customs of Henan Province and the details of the hospital's medication... and then use a bowl of hot and sour soup to make Ma Liu unknowingly disabled until he dies... This will not only avoid arousing the suspicion of Wen Ying, who was looking for an ancient tomb for Master Peng at the time, but also achieve the purpose of silencing him!"
"You... suspect him?"
Su Tong shook his head and said, "I don't have any evidence, it's just a feeling. Among the professors rescued from Pengye's base, there are many experts in medicine or chemistry, but at their age and with their minds fixed by the system, would they use such a wild and unconventional trick to deal with Ma Liu?"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Okay! I will send someone to keep an eye on this person. He has been missing for so many years, and suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a high-profile manner, even attracting the attention of the Academy of Sciences! Before that, his past should have been clearly verified."
Su Tong nodded and continued, "These past few days, I always think of what Wen Ying said when Master Peng asked me to enter the base... She said that Master Peng would never do anything without a reason, and it must be that I accidentally showed some talents in some aspects before, and he needs to use me..."
"At the time, I thought it was my ability to detoxify and identify poisons that caught his attention. But now that I think about it, the most successful time I showed my talent in matters related to Master Peng was when I found out the cause of Ma Liu's illness and broke the trap set by that master!"
"But this assumption seems untenable. If Master Peng had noticed me so early, he must have known your identities and the fact that Ma Liu cooperated with you. How could he allow you to break into his lair and destroy his life's work?"
Su Tong looked up at Qin Yi with confusion in her eyes.
"So, these thoughts kept flashing through my mind, and I didn't dare to tell anyone because I had no basis for them and they were self-contradictory. If I told anyone, it would mislead others!"
Qin Yi slowly embraced her in his arms without saying a word.
After a moment, he kissed her hair and said, "I have long been aware of your sharpness. For the issue you raised, I cannot comment further for the time being. However, I have read the notebook you asked Lin Li to pass on to me, and your suspicions are not unreasonable."
"What's the meaning?"
"The Southwest Research Institute was attacked, and the buildings and equipment were severely damaged, but there were no casualties. After receiving the mission, we collected clues and tracked them all the way to the border, where we found traces of the mercenaries."
"mercenary?"
"Yes! Guess who is leading the team?" Qin Yi looked down at her.
