Xiao Yihan's voice was soft, and Xiao Xu couldn't hear it clearly, but he heard Qi Yue joking with his team leader that his team leader's wife was pregnant with twins.
He immediately started grinning with excitement, dancing around and saying, "Captain Qi, I knew it! This is such a great joy! Giving birth to two babies at once is so fun to think about!"
Qi Yue looked at Xiao Xu's excitement, smiled and patted his shoulder, "Silly boy, just wait until you can hold a child for your leader! When the time comes, we'll each hold one. It won't tire you to death, and it'll be fun!"
Summer vacation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Jingqiu was already more than four months pregnant. Her belly was obviously much bigger, just like the belly of a seven-month pregnant woman.
Chu Jingqiu can no longer stand for a long time when teaching students and can only sit. Standing is too tiring for her.
When Principal Ye knew that she was pregnant with twins, he appropriately reduced her teaching duties in several classes.
Chu Jingqiu returned to the office just after class that morning. She was about to take a sip of the warm tea on the table, but at that moment, she suddenly realized that the green tea in the cup was a little strong.
She frowned, "Sister Pingping, did you pour this tea for me?"
Zhang Pingping shook her head. "No, I don't dare take the credit for this. It was Teacher Dong who poured the water for everyone today. We should thank Teacher Dong!"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Dong. It's a pity that I'm pregnant and can't drink strong tea. What a pity!"
Dong Weiguo smiled and said, "If you don't want to drink it, give it to me. Such good tea cannot be wasted!"
After saying that, he smiled and brought over his teacup, picked up Chu Jingqiu's teacup, and poured it into his own water cup.
At that time, water cups were all white enamel cups. Chu Jingqiu saw that there seemed to be some white residue at the bottom of her teacup, but she couldn't see it clearly. She thought it was scale and didn't care. She just poured some plain water and rinsed the cup.
Then she brewed another cup of light tea and added some boiled water. She drank half of the cup in one breath, and only then did her dry mouth symptoms ease.
As Dong Weiguo drank, he praised: "Teacher Chu's tea is really good tea, with a light and refreshing fragrance. It is really a pleasure to drink such good tea."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and pointed at the tea can on the table and said, "Hey, it's just ordinary tea. If Teacher Dong likes to drink some, feel free to take some. The tea is right here on my table. I can't finish it all anyway!"
Dong Weiguo smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible. He said, "Thank you, Teacher Chu. I won't be polite in the future!"
Dong Weiguo did not come to class in the afternoon, so Teacher Qian assigned some homework to the students on his behalf.
Zhu Xianghong asked curiously, "Teacher Qian, did Teacher Dong take a leave this afternoon?"
Teacher Qian nodded. "Yes, his wife came to my house this afternoon and said that Teacher Dong was not feeling well. She asked me to ask Principal Ye for half a day off!"
Xiao Zhang couldn't help laughing: "Let me tell you, Teacher Dong may have eaten something that upset his stomach today. He occupied his family's toilet at noon today.
Her wife even came to our house to use the restroom at noon. She said that if Teacher Dong hadn't run fast, she would have almost had diarrhea."
Zhu Xianghong's eyes widened immediately. "Teacher Dong has such severe diarrhea, didn't he go to the health center? What if he's dehydrated?"
"Teacher Dong couldn't even make it to the health center before he had to go to the toilet. Later, there was no other way, so his wife invited a military doctor to the house to give him an IV!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Chu Jingqiu frowned slightly after hearing what they said, and a feeling of unease welled up in her heart. She thought of the cup of strong tea she had drunk that morning and the white residue at the bottom of the cup. It suddenly dawned on her that the residue was probably a laxative.
She suddenly felt a sense of fear. If she had not discovered it in time and drank the cup of tea with the drug added, she would probably have had a miscarriage due to diarrhea with that dosage, which would have had disastrous consequences.
Chu Jingqiu took a deep breath, a surge of anger burning in her heart. Who would want to hurt her and her baby?
Wang Yingying and Feng Aiju were the most likely suspects, as they both had ample motive to murder her. Wang Yingying had just undergone an induced abortion and was pregnant with twins, while Feng Aiju had just recovered from a fracture and was still harboring resentment from their previous conflict.
However, neither of them had the chance to touch her teacup, and who helped them put the laxative in the teacup?
It definitely wasn’t Dong Weiguo. If Dong Weiguo knew, he would never be so stupid as to drink the tea mixed with medicine.
Could it be Xiao Zhang who did it? Xiao Zhang was usually very close to them, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be unaware of this.
Chu Jingqiu thought for a moment and then used his mind to remind Lele, "Lele, immediately check the surveillance footage from this morning to see who touched my teacup. I must find out who drugged me and who it is."
After hearing the order, Lele immediately started to check the surveillance footage.
Lele read it over and over again. She saw that everyone came to work one after another in the morning, and Xiao Zhang and Teacher Qian had classes, so they hurried to the classroom with their textbooks as soon as they entered the office.
In the office, Zhang Pingping and Dong Weiguo were discussing the progress of the lecture. Dong Weiguo got up and went out to get two pots of hot water.
He enthusiastically filled each teacher's teacup with water and did not find anything unusual, and no student had touched Chu Jingqiu's teacup.
Lele scratched his head and said in confusion, "Qiuqiu, are you mistaken? Maybe Dong Weiguo just ate something bad. I didn't see anyone drugging him in the surveillance video."
Chu Jingqiu still felt that this matter could not be so coincidental. After all, Lele's IQ was limited. She decided to go back to the space at noon and check the surveillance herself.
After work in the evening, Xiao Yihan helped her cook in the space. She couldn't wait to turn on the surveillance camera and start checking.
She carefully replayed the morning's surveillance footage and found that just as Lele had said, she didn't see anything unusual.
She felt that there must be something wrong with her thinking, so she decided to slow down the action of Dong Weiguo pouring tea, and this time she found a clue.
Chu Jingqiu discovered that when Dong Weiguo poured water for her, he did not touch the tea can on the table, but directly poured Chu Jingqiu a glass of boiled water.
But when Chu Jingqiu came back, the water in the teacup was a cup of strong tea.
In other words, before Dong Weiguo, someone had put tea leaves in her teacup to cover up the laxative. So, the tea leaves were not put in at that time, but were put there by someone before.
Therefore, in order to find out who put the laxatives in the video, she had to check the earlier videos. She decided to check the 24-hour surveillance video, and this time she would definitely be able to find the murderer who intended to harm her.
