Lu Yuan guessed that the people who came were from the police station, probably because of yesterday's case.
As expected, they really were people from the police station.
Old acquaintances, Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao.
Lu Guoan brought them here.
Surprisingly, there was another person. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but there seemed to be a few strands of black hair among that full head of silver hair.
"Dr. Gao, you're back?"
He had a green canvas bag slung over his shoulder and was carrying a cloth bag in his hand.
He chuckled and replied, "Yes, I came back last night."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan ushered the group into the house and called out to the inner room.
"Wife, we have a guest. Please pour some water."
Wen Moxue responded. She quickly made some sweet soup for them and exchanged a few pleasantries with them.
Although things were a bit unpleasant just now, it wasn't good to embarrass Lu Yuan in front of others.
After drinking the sweet soup, Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao got straight to the point.
“Lu Xiaofang and the others have all confessed. We are here to ask you for more information and to collect evidence.”
First, he looked at the red marks on Wen Moxue's neck, and then he talked about the part about collecting evidence.
"Lu Xiaofang said she put a drug that makes people sleepy in the chicken soup. We came here to see if there was any soup left from last night, so that Dr. Gao can help check it."
"If it can be confirmed that what Lu Xiaofang said is true, then this case can be closed."
Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised by the efficiency of case handling in this era; the case was closed so quickly.
"There's still chicken soup, but it's in my dad's room."
"Then I'd appreciate it if Comrade Lu could take us there to have a look."
The group walked together toward the old house. On the way, Lu Yuan heard Song Minghao recount the whole story and the plan.
The first part was largely in line with Lu Yuan's guess.
It was indeed the Huang family who wanted to use Lu Xiaofang to exchange for a bride price. The groom's family were relatives of Old Mrs. Huang's family; he was an old bachelor in his thirties, and also mentally challenged.
Lu Xiaofang was naturally unwilling.
But Old Mrs. Huang had already accepted a dowry of 200 yuan, so she had no choice but to accept it.
She also said that Lu Guoqing was not her biological father, but Old Lady Huang was her biological grandmother, so her marriage could naturally be decided by her biological grandmother.
Forced into a corner, Lu Xiaofang had no choice but to find a way to save herself.
She knew that Old Lady Huang was greedy for money, so she tried to bribe her.
But she herself had no money, and after learning that Lu Yuan was rich, she set her sights on him.
Besides, she had always liked Lu Yuan, who was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and she had long harbored feelings for him.
I've fantasized many times about marrying him. It's just that their social status is awkward.
But now that Old Lady Huang is pressuring her, she can't care about anything else.
Anyway, they're not blood siblings. The only obstacle is Wen Muxue.
She asked Old Lady Huang to find a way to send the person to the mentally challenged bachelor.
The two of them put their heads together and came up with the idea of using medicine.
First, they used sleeping pills to make the person fall asleep, then they took them away. Lu Xiaofang then gave Lu Yuan some aphrodisiacs, and the two of them consummated their relationship.
As for Wen Moxue's disappearance, it could be said that she ran away in a fit of anger after witnessing their affair.
Although it's a stretch, it's not entirely unreasonable.
His wife ran away, so it's perfect that they can be together.
If Lu Yuan doesn't agree, she'll sue him for indecent assault.
They felt that with this threat in mind, Lu Yuan dared not refuse his request.
We can use this to our advantage and get under his control.
She wasn't afraid of people talking about their identities. She had already planned it all out. She would go back to the Huang family for a few days and ask a matchmaker to go through the motions. That way, at least things would look better on the surface.
Everything was planned perfectly, except for the unexpected appearance of Lu Xiaoqin, which made Lu Yuan wary.
Thinking about it now, he still feels a bit scared.
Without Lu Xiaoqin's reminder, there would have been no awareness of the need for precautions.
They certainly wouldn't have imagined that Lu Xiaofang could drug him.
If they all fall victim to this, I really don't want to think about the consequences.
This time, I owe Lu Xiaoqin, my adopted sister, a huge favor.
When they arrived at the Lu family's old house, Lu Guoqing and his siblings were still unconscious.
The medicine is quite potent!
Lu Yuan led them directly into the house. The leftovers from yesterday were still on the table in the main room.
"I thought you might want to check the food, so I didn't let my wife clean it up, and I didn't let anyone else touch it either."
Song Minghao nodded. "You did a great job."
Gao Weishan inspected the chicken soup and confirmed that it did indeed contain sleeping pills or similar medications.
"When will my father and the others wake up?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I guess I'll need to sleep for another half day."
After finishing their business, Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao went straight back to the commune, while Lu Guoan also left to attend to other matters.
Gao Weishan didn't leave; he went home with Lu Yuan.
He doesn't have to go to work today, so he can go home later.
"The medicine you showed me last time wasn't for your own use."
Now he understands that the drug was a setup to frame him.
Looking back, I really did misunderstand him last time.
"So you really don't have any problems."
Lu Yuan really wanted to retort: You're the one who's crazy!
However, considering he was a guest today, I decided not to hold it against him.
When Wen Moxue got home, she saw that only the two of them had returned. She asked, "Didn't the captain and the two police officers come?"
Lu Yuan nodded. "Officer Song and Officer Han have gone back to the commune. My uncle has also gone to work on the farm."
Wen Moxue nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Remembering the main purpose of his visit today, Gao Weishan hurriedly shared the good news with the couple.
"By the way, I applied for a bonus for the prescription that Xiao Wen gave me last time."
As he spoke, he took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it over.
