Chapter 188 Chain Reaction
With a "pop", the cake plate in Xia Lili's hand fell onto the carpet.
Fragments of hallucinations flooded into Xia Lili's mind.
In the hallucination, the plane arrived safely at Yangcheng Airport.
Fei Shuyun couldn't wait to see his family, so he was the first to get off the plane.
Fei Shuyun's family was already waiting on the ground.
"Dad, Mom!"
Fei Shuyun couldn't hide his excitement at meeting his family and hugged his parents.
At the feet of Fei Shuyun's parents, a white Samoyed puppy with fluffy hair was rubbing against Fei Shuyun's legs and barking at him.
Fei Shuyun squatted down with a smile, and the puppy jumped into his arms skillfully.
Fei Shuyun hugged the puppy and touched noses with it lovingly.
The puppy was very clingy and stayed in Fei Shuyun's arms the whole time. Fei Shuyun held the dog while walking with his parents to the VIP restaurant at the airport for dinner.
However, on the way to the restaurant, Fei Shuyun suddenly fell to the ground without any warning!
Everyone panicked!
The ambulance arrived quickly.
But the doctor announced on the spot that Fei Shuyun had no vital signs.
The car that came to pick up Fei Shuyun also became a corpse transport vehicle heading to the Medical Identification Center.
The last scene of the hallucination was a news report from Yangcheng TV.
"I am reporting two pieces of heavy and sad news."
"Fei Shuyun, a top national neurosurgeon, was murdered at the airport a week ago. The cause of death is under further investigation, and the forensic doctor initially determined it was poisoning..."
"Last night, Professor Qiao Jiaying, a leading handwriting identification expert in our police force, passed away due to a sudden worsening of a brain tumor. Despite efforts to save him, he died..."
The hallucination ends here.
——"Xia Lili?"
——"Miss Xia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Qinyue and Fei Shuyun's worried voices came from beside her. Xia Lili focused her eyes and found that the cake in her hand had fallen to the ground.
"Sorry! My hands were shaking and I couldn't hold it steady!"
"It's nothing." Pei Qinyue waved his hand. The cynicism on his face had been put away, and his expression was serious. "But what happened to you just now? It was like a computer suddenly crashed. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond."
Xia Lili pinched her palms to calm herself down. She explained, "Sometimes when I'm in a confined space, I get tinnitus and dizziness."
Pei Qinyue raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you implying that my plane is too small?"
Xia Lili looked at him speechlessly: "No way, you have super sensitive skin."
"Have you been checked?" Fei Shuyun still looked worried. "Do you want to go to the hospital with me? I'm afraid it's a heart disease. I have a friend in the cardiovascular department of Yangcheng Second Hospital..."
"Thank you, Doctor Fei, but that's not necessary."
"After several checkups, the doctor said I'm fine, just a little anxious." Xia Lili added, fearing they wouldn't believe her. "My friend is a doctor at Huajin Hospital; he's definitely reliable."
Pei Qinyue and Fei Shuyun finally felt relieved.
Xia Lili made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
"Captain Li, I'm on a private plane flying back to Yangcheng. The aircraft code is B-92..."
Xia Lili quickly reported the new unfortunate person to Li Qihan.
Her heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking.
This is a tragic case involving two lives, and it is a chain reaction.
"The neurosurgeon who performed the surgery was poisoned?"
Li Qihan received a message from Xia Lili, her tone alert: "The surgery was canceled due to the death of the surgeon. Not long after, Professor Qiao Jiaying's condition worsened and he passed away."
Xia Lili expressed her speculation: "It seems like someone doesn't want Professor Qiao's brain tumor to receive timely treatment..."
Li Qihan's voice was heavy: "There's something fishy behind this unfortunate incident."
"Fei Shuyun collapsed from poisoning shortly after getting off the plane."
"You were on the same plane as him. Could the murderer have poisoned the plane?"
Li Qihan's words gave Xia Lili goosebumps.
They just had drinks and cake...
She hurriedly looked at herself in the bathroom mirror.
After looking at herself in the mirror for a long time, Xia Lili saw nothing unusual.
When she was talking to Pei Qinyue just now, Pei Qinyue was fine.
Xia Lili wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a tissue.
"I just checked, and Pei Qinyue and I are both fine."
Li Qihan asked carefully, "What did Fei Shuyun eat and drink on the plane? And what special items did he come into contact with?"
Xia Lili thought for a moment and replied, "Fei Shuyun drank a bottle of mineral water. I didn't see him touch the dessert. He seemed uninterested."
Li Qihan: "Did the waiter wear gloves when handing over the mineral water?"
——"No, Pei Qinyue's assistant took a bottle of mineral water directly from the refrigerator and gave it to Fei Shuyun."
Xia Lili poked her head out of the bathroom door and took a look. "He's wearing a steam eye mask and resting his eyes. He'll probably sleep until the plane lands."
Li Qihan warned, "He mainly came into contact with two things on the plane: a mineral water bottle and a disposable steam eye mask. Be sure to keep these two personal items close to you before landing to prevent anyone from destroying evidence."
Xia Lili responded, "Okay, I'll pay attention."
"Captain Li, it's impossible..." Xia Lili swallowed her saliva. "Fei Shuyun was poisoned after getting off the plane. In the hallucination, only Fei Shuyun's parents and the dog came into contact with Fei Shuyun. Is it possible that Fei Shuyun's parents..."
"Unlikely." Li Qihan calmly explained to Xia Lili, "You said he had a good relationship with his parents. The chances of his parents poisoning him are extremely small. Besides, didn't the last news report you hallucinated say that the case was still under investigation?"
"That means the murderer hasn't been found yet. His parents, as key figures in the case, have already been investigated by the police."
Xia Lili scratched her head: "Yes."
She calmed herself down and carefully recalled the details of the hallucination.
"His parents also brought a bag of Daoxiangfang cakes, but it was his father who was carrying the cakes the whole time. Fei Shuyun didn't even have a chance to eat them before he collapsed from the poisoning."
"Daoxiangfang pastries, I've got that in mind." Li Qihan paused. "You just said that only Fei Shuyun's parents and the dog had contact with Fei Shuyun?"
The rustling sound of a pen scratching on paper came from the other end of the phone: "Is it possible that there is something wrong with Fei Shuyun's dog?"
"Dog? Poisoned Fei Shuyun?" Xia Lili opened her eyes wide in surprise. This was a very new perspective.
"Yes, some animals are immune to toxins. Also, dogs usually can't touch their collars. Also, their fur is very thick. If there is toxin on the collar, it can also prevent the toxin from penetrating into the skin."
Li Qihan spoke slowly and guided Xia Lili step by step: "Think carefully, is there anything special about the dog?"
