"Yes, I also really like big dogs. It feels so good to hug a fluffy dog. My family has a German Shepherd, which is very intelligent and our whole family loves it."
Ye Qingqing glanced at Tsumabu Mai and said deliberately, "It's a pity you're allergic to animal fur. No wonder you don't keep any pets. It's a lot less fun."
"Yes, I used to be so envious when I saw other people's dogs in the park."
Mai Tsuma's expression was regretful, but nothing seemed amiss.
But Ye Qingqing knew she was lying, because her husband's family used to keep dogs.
Sasaki Kojiro once said that his family had kept both cats and dogs, but neither had turned out well, just like the dog in Kojiro's house.
However, it is also possible that Mai Tsumabu's health was deteriorating, which triggered her hair allergy.
Ye Qingqing didn't ask any more questions, afraid that Tsumabu Mai would become suspicious. This girl was a high-IQ genius, and Ye Qingqing's IQ was no match for hers. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Anyway, she had already made arrangements with Inukai Yoshi, and Inukai Yoshi would show Tsumabu Mai's medical records to her.
Although it violates the patient's privacy, this is the only way to proceed under these extraordinary circumstances.
"I've heard that China has a lot of delicious food, a vast country, and incredibly beautiful scenery. I've never been to such a faraway place before, I'm so excited!" Mai Tsumabu changed the subject again.
Ye Qingqing frowned. She had finally managed to turn the tide a little, but now she was on the defensive again.
"You'll be able to go soon. Your brother is handling the paperwork, and he says it will be done in about a week."
"My older brother said Pingjiang is very big, as big as ten Kyoto, is that true?"
"Probably, but I'm not sure for sure. You'll know when you get there." Ye Qingqing had no idea how big Pingjiang was, but it should be much bigger than Kyoto. As for whether it was ten times bigger, she wasn't sure and didn't dare to say for sure.
Mai Tsuma looked at her hopefully, "Sister Qingqing will play with me then, right?"
"As long as your health permits, I will definitely accompany you."
Ye Qingqing vaguely agreed, feeling that the possibility was very small. Tsumabu Mai was too weak, and the air quality in Pingjiang was not as good as here. It was really not suitable for Tsumabu Mai to go out.
"I can't wait..."
At this moment, Mai Tsumabu looked just like an innocent and lively young girl, but Ye Qingqing dared not think that way anymore. Even if Mai Tsumabu wasn't the murderer who killed the dog, she couldn't possibly be an innocent young girl.
The couple came in carrying food platters: steaming fish soup, white porridge, and a small dish of dried radish. The air was filled with the aroma of the food.
"Eat it while it's hot."
The wife and son set out the food for their daughter. It was all light and nutritious, perfect for Mai.
"I'll come back tomorrow to give Miss Mai acupuncture. Goodbye for now."
Ye Qingqing said goodbye and went downstairs. She had three more days to go before returning to China, and she would come over for acupuncture every day for those three days.
After the wife saw her downstairs, she went back upstairs. Lu Mo and Wu Chen had already returned downstairs. She exchanged glances with Lu Mo, knowing that they had discovered something, and then said goodbye and left.
Tsumabuki Minami saw them off to their car. On the way, Wuchen wanted to say something, but Lu Mo stopped him, saying it would be better to talk about it back at the hotel, just to be on the safe side.
Back at the hotel, Wuchen, unable to contain himself any longer, burst into his room and exclaimed, "That back mountain is strange! There's some evil creature harming the animals there. I'll definitely dig it out next time I go!"
"What evil thing?" Ye Qingqing didn't understand.
Lu Mo explained, "We found the remains of some birds and small animals in the back mountain. Some were recent, and some were from a long time ago. Tsumabuki Minami was also surprised and didn't know about it."
