Chapter 215
Qiao Sheng was speechless when she ran to Master Pei's room. She held the door frame and panted for a long time before she recovered. Li Mu was better than her. She had already walked to Master Pei's bedside to "check his pulse". Master Pei and Old Madam Pei stood at the end of the bed and waited anxiously.
Standing far away did not delay Qiao Sheng from checking Master Pei's condition. He clicked on it and saw that the health bar that had been half full yesterday was only a little bit left. The poisoning debuff had become two types.
This made it clear that Master Pei was poisoned again after they left yesterday.
Li Mu asked the people in the room what Master Pei had eaten last night, where the food came from, what ingredients it had, and even whether there was anything new in the room.
The focus was finally on a bowl of fish soup, which was said to be the exclusive secret recipe of Chef Wang. However, the two of them did not show it, but just said that they could not find the problem and had to look for it again. Now they could only treat the symptoms first to ensure that Master Pei's life was safe.
Hearing that his life could be saved, Pei Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and was finally relieved. Li Mu fed Master Pei the Baibao Pill again, and the blood bar was replenished. Master Pei, who was lying on the bed and gasping for breath, finally breathed smoothly.
Seeing that things were stable here, Qiao Sheng said he would go to see Miss Pei's condition. Butler Bai quickly took her there. After the examination, Miss Pei's condition was very stable.
Butler Bai also said that the young lady had an extra bowl of porridge last night, which was rare. Qiao Sheng thought that she had to drink more. It would be strange if she didn’t feel hungry after drinking the sour plum soup with hawthorn.
Then he quietly fed Miss Pei half a bottle of sour plum soup, which was still warm this time. If it wasn’t too obvious to feed her hawthorn water directly, she wouldn’t have bothered to do it. She even cooked a big pot of sour plum soup again last night.
But today, I came to see that the effect was still good. Miss Pei closed her eyes and was obviously a little reluctant to drink, but Qiao Sheng was quick and pinched her chin and poured it down.
After dealing with this young lady, Qiao Sheng didn’t leave, but stayed here, waiting for Miss Pei to get hungry. Sure enough, within two hours, Miss Pei’s stomach started to growl.
Butler Bai had been accompanying them the whole time. He ran out immediately upon hearing the noise. When he came back from the kitchen, he was holding a tray with two bowls on it. He looked over and saw
that what was on it was exactly what Qiao Sheng wanted. She said that she would feed the young lady, and took the bowl of fish soup and approached Miss Pei.
Miss Pei's eyes were open at this time. She didn't react at first when she saw her holding the bowl. When she was helped up and saw the fish soup in the bowl, her pupils trembled instantly. It was the first time that Qiao Sheng saw someone's eyes trembling. If both hands were not occupied, he would have wanted to applaud this textbook performance. He
ignored Miss Pei's expression, helped her straighten up, sat opposite her, stirred the fish soup with a spoon, and then scooped a spoonful and handed it to Miss Pei's mouth. As expected,
Miss Pei's expression began to become tangled. She first looked up at Qiao Sheng who was insisting on feeding her soup, and then looked at Butler Bai who was standing at the end of the bed with a tray, looking puzzled. Qiao Sheng sat opposite her and could really feel that Miss Pei must be having a storm in her head at the moment. Then she did something she expected. She disliked the fishy smell, vomited, and refused to drink the fish soup. Qiao Sheng did not make things difficult for her. He returned the fish soup to Butler Bai and replaced it with a bowl of white porridge. This time, Miss Pei cooperated and drank half of the bowl in one mouthful. Seeing that she fell asleep, Butler Bai took Qiao Sheng out, went to Master Pei's room to call Li Mu, and told Xiaoyang to serve Master well, and then took them to the cafeteria. It was lunchtime, and there were still many people coming and going in the cafeteria. The two took the opportunity to count the people on the left and the right while they were waiting in line. When they returned to the table, they chose to sit down facing the door. This lunch was still a big white steamed bun, a dish of stir-fried pork with peppers, a dish of shredded potatoes with vinegar, and the soup was still kelp and fish soup. This time, Chef Wang did not cut beef with sauce for them, but gave them two side dishes, a dish of fermented bean curd, and a dish of spicy radish strips. "Doctor Li, Doctor Qiao, you should try this fermented bean curd. It smells so good when spread on the hot steamed bun. Fatty Wang not only cooks delicious food, but also these things." Butler Bai picked up a piece of fermented bean curd and moved the two side dishes in front of them. Qiao Sheng followed his example and spread fermented bean curd on the steamed bun. It was indeed delicious. While praising him, he began to ask questions. He first asked if everyone in the island owner's mansion ate in the big canteen. The reply he got was that except for the masters, the workers all ate in the canteen. He also asked how many chefs there were in the island owner's mansion. Butler Bai said that there was only one chef, Fatty Wang, and the meals served to the island owner were also made here. "But I saw that there seemed to be a small kitchen in the yard of Miss Pei and Master Pei. Was the porridge that Xiaoyang brought out yesterday from the small kitchen?" Qiao Sheng picked up a piece of spicy radish strips and found that it was indeed pickled well, crisp and delicious, much better than her pickles. "The small kitchen can only cook porridge and medicine. Now Xiaoyue, the maid who serves Miss Pei, is helping." Butler Bai said while eating. "Didn't they say that the fish soup was made by Chef Wang? Both kitchens provide it?" Qiao Sheng continued to ask. "Hey, the young master was better yesterday, and Xiaoyang went to the big canteen for dinner. He went back and told the young master that he drank the soup, and the young master said he wanted to drink it too, so Fatty Wang made it specially. This was also specially delivered by Fatty Wang at noon today. Thinking that the young master drank it last night, he was afraid that he would want to drink it today, so he prepared it in advance." Butler Bai still believed in Qiao Sheng and the others, and answered almost everything they asked. After dinner, the three of them returned to Miss Pei and Master Pei's courtyard. Li Mu also went to the kitchen for a walk. While the girl named Xiaoyue was away, he filled a bowl of fish soup and put it in his bag, preparing to study it on the boat at night. When Xiaoyang came out to fetch water, he told Qiao Sheng and the others that the master had fallen asleep. He also went to the door of the young lady. Xiaoyue told him that the young lady was still taking a nap. Butler Bai did not rush Qiao Sheng and Li Mu into the house, but asked them to sit in the shade under the corridor to rest. Thinking that it was nothing serious, he said, and then went to do other things. He also said that he would be back in a while, so the two of them should rest first. After everyone left, Qiao Sheng took out two bottles of iced sour plum soup from the ring space to relieve the heat and digest food. "It seems that the problem lies with the fish soup. And that Miss Pei seems to know something. She managed not to drink a single sip of the fish soup. You just counted the number of people in the cafeteria. Before we sat down, I saw three people with slight poisoning debuffs. After we sat down, four more came in. Together with Butler Bai, Xiaoyang, and Master Pei, there are only ten people in total. The others are all fine. Who poisoned them? Is this a precise poisoning or an indiscriminate attack?" Qiao Sheng felt that he was losing his mind. "There are two of us, so actually twelve people were poisoned. We have been eating in the cafeteria for the past two days and there is no sign of poisoning, so the normal meals in the cafeteria should be fine. The problem is the food supplied to this yard. There are only eight days left, and it is hard to say with the evidence we have now who poisoned the people, and we don't even know if there is any connection between those poisoned people." Li Mu shook his head, frowned, and began to worry.
I couldn't think of an answer, so I gave up. After resting for two hours, the young master and the young lady in the room woke up. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu went in and watched them. Before leaving in the evening, they still helped the young master to increase his blood volume for Baibao Dan, and fed the young lady sour plum soup to stimulate her appetite and digestion. They watched them eat dinner before leaving.
This dinner was not weird. It was the white porridge cooked by the girl named Xiaoyue in the small kitchen. It looked tasteless. Miss Pei ate very quietly, but the young master Pei, who had been on the verge of death several times, complained and protested to drink white porridge, but Li Mu was not used to him.
He took the bowl of porridge from Xiaoyang's hand and fed it all in spoonful by spoonful. Master Pei was probably a little jealous of him, so he didn't dare to argue. He ate his fill and lay down.
Because they came here by electric car, they could go back quickly. When Qiao Sheng and the others returned to the boat, Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang had already prepared dinner. The cassock boys lined up and started to show off the shark meat stuffing.
Qiao Sheng and the others went to the bathroom to clean themselves up before coming out to eat dinner. After dinner, they still exchanged information.
After integrating the information collected today, Li Muxian told them that Xia Beibei also said some news. The authenticity was uncertain, but many people in the market were discussing it.
It was said that Miss Pei fell in love with an ordinary fisherman on the island, which made the island master Pei very angry. It is said that since the news came out, the two children of the island master Pei have not left the house for a long time.
"Hate because of love? Destroy it if you can't get it? Even if the source of the poison is fish soup, it may not be related to fishermen, right? Besides, this thing has entered the island master's house, who can guarantee that the people who drink it must be a specific group of people?" Qiao Sheng scratched his head and always felt that it was not necessary because of this matter. "
Maybe Miss Pei's lover is a poison expert, pretending to be a fisherman." Xia Beibei's imagination was opened.
"With the current situation on the island, the poison expert can also be worshipped by the island master Pei, which is easier to get Miss Pei than pretending to be a fisherman." Qiao Sheng thought about it, this idea didn't work, so she asked her to change her mind.
"Whether it can or not, it's not precise poisoning. Indiscriminate attacks are easier. And you didn't say that Miss Pei knew the fish soup was poisonous. Maybe they conspired together. One sent poisoned fish to the island owner's house from outside, and the other pretended to be sick to avoid suspicion." Lin Haiyang still felt that Miss Pei and the fisherman had the biggest problems.
"But it was Master Pei who was clamoring to drink fish soup, not Miss Pei. How did she control her brother to drink fish soup?" Li Mu asked back.
"Uh... This family is just idle and looking for trouble. Maybe they all have problems. Who knows what ghost thoughts they have, they are not good people." Xia Beibei took a strawberry from the fruit plate and bit it viciously.
In order to get up early the next day, the four people still went back to rest early.
Today's exchange of information has enriched the information they have, but it is still far from being completely decrypted. This matter is like a puzzle. They have just surrounded the outer frame and know the general situation. As for the fragmented puzzles inside, they can only look for them bit by bit, and then slowly piece them together.
The next morning, after breakfast, the four of them split into two groups. One group, Xia Beibei, walked to the market to inquire about the news, and the other group, Qiao Sheng and others drove electric cars to the island owner's mansion to "go to work."
When they got on the island, except for Li Mu, the other three all brought their own resentment. This broken copy was really unbearable for a whole day. Why did people have to go to work on time after entering the game?
