Chapter 91 No clue
"This is Big Brother's test report. The doctor said they don't know what poison Big Brother was poisoned with, but they know there's a substance in his body that can cause pheromones to go out of control."
Under the wisteria trellis in the hospital, Lin Guantang and Yuan Zhixin sat side by side on a bench, studying Yuan Zhiren's test report.
Lin Guantang only visited Yuan Zhiren once, while he was still in a coma.
He just looked at it from a distance and didn't get close.
Let’s not talk about other people for now. At least in the Yuan family, he and Huo Shizhen are completely tied together. Huo Shizhen made everyone embarrassed in the reception room. It was good enough that the Yuan family’s people didn’t kick him out as soon as he appeared.
But it wasn't much better. I just stood at the door for a few minutes before being politely asked to leave.
However, not all people in the Yuan family disliked him. For example, Yuan Zhixin took the initiative to come to him when he was looking for someone to inquire about the news, and asked him if he wanted to find the truth with him.
The reason why Yuan Zhixin came to see him was even simpler.
That night in the living room, everyone was arguing and watching the fun, and no one really cared about his eldest brother's life or death.
Even after Huo Shizhen and the others left, the brothers and sisters kept talking about business matters and didn't care about their eldest brother's life or death at all.
Just like what Huo Shizhen said, it would be better for them if the eldest brother died.
Although some people comforted him by saying that adults would not be like him, spending every day around only one patient, and that adults have adult things to do, he did not understand and did not want to continue arguing with them about whether his elder brother's life or the family property was more important.
If there really is something that adults should do, then isn't Kobayashi also an adult?
Moreover, he was an outsider who had nothing to do with the Yuan family, and he was with Huo Shizhen. Isn't Huo Shizhen a very scary person? But Xiaolin ignored him and insisted on putting his eldest brother's injury first from beginning to end. Why couldn't anyone in their family do it?
Moreover, he clearly remembered that it was Kobayashi who first shouted that the light was broken that night.
So when Lin Guantang said that he wanted to know the cause and effect of Yuan Zhiren's accident and who was behind it, Yuan Zhixin immediately agreed to help him find all the information.
That was the reason why the other Hara Chixin wanted to cooperate with him - several days had passed, and not even a suspect was found.
The surveillance footage was retrieved, and the conclusion was that the chandelier had long been in disrepair, and the accident occurred because the maintenance personnel failed to replace it in time - how could it be such a coincidence!
In any case, Yuan Zhixin would never believe it, but everyone actually believed this statement and said that he was too concerned and thought too much. This made Yuan Zhixin feel frustrated and angry as if he had punched cotton.
There is no progress in finding the cause of the eldest brother's poisoning. Not only can we not find the person who poisoned him, but we can't even tell what the poison was. We can only analyze a few substances.
Fortunately, the doctor is very skilled and can save my brother's life even if the source cannot be found. However, it is unknown when he will wake up and when the toxins can be completely eliminated.
The adults didn't have any more information for Yuan Zhixin, and with all that information, he couldn't figure out the truth on his own. He just needed to find another person who wanted to find the truth like him to discuss it together.
No matter what, two people are always better than one.
Lin Guantang did ask Huo Shizhen who the real murderer was, but he actually said he didn't know.
Lin Guantang: "You know someone wants to harm him, but you say you don't know who it is. Does that make sense?"
Huo Shizhen: "Why is it unreasonable? Knowing that someone has been murdered and knowing how someone will be murdered should not be confused."
Lin Guantang: "So why don't you just tell me who hurt him?"
Huo Shizhen: "It's not a good thing to slander innocent people without evidence."
Lin Guantang: "Would you still consider this kind of thing?"
Huo Shizhen: "Of course, I never slander good people."
Lin Guantang silently complained in his heart, you are quite ruthless when it comes to taking advantage of good people.
In short, no matter how he asked, he refused to tell him who did it, and it seemed that he had no intention of clarifying the truth to the public.
Lin Guantang was a little crazy because of the indifferent attitude. Who was going to be slandered as a murderer and whose character was going to be damaged because of this?
——Oh, Huo Shizhen has no character at all, so it’s normal that he doesn’t care.
Lin Guantang could only find the answer himself - but Huo Shizhen was annoyed by his questions and provided him with a clue.
"The answer is in the mystery."
Does this mean that the person who harmed Hara Tomohito is among the people in the living room?
But that was a banquet to celebrate Mr. Yuan’s birthday, and almost all the celebrities in the entire Yuanshang District came. It was not easy to find the real murderer among these people.
Especially after getting the clue from Yuan Zhixin, Lin Guantang vaguely felt that it was not just that Huo Shizhen was too lazy to clarify, but perhaps the Yuan family also did not want to find out the truth.
Lin Guantang could understand Huo Shizhen's attitude, but why did Yuan do this?
The person most likely to inherit the position of head of the family was murdered. Normally, shouldn't they dig deep and investigate the matter thoroughly? But in the end, it seemed as if they were trying to cover it up.
So, is it possible that the so-called real murderer was originally from the Yuan family?
Maybe...it's among those three people.
"Brother Xiaolin, did you see anything?"
Yuan Zhixin's voice sounded beside him, and Lin Guantang came back to his senses from his thoughts, shaking his head apologetically.
He couldn't possibly say that your three brothers and sisters might be the real murderers. It would be too irresponsible to say such a thing without any evidence.
At this time, Lin Guantang understood a little bit of Huo Shizhen's feelings for not mentioning the real murderer's name, although the reason was completely different.
Yuan Zhixin couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, looked at Lin Guantang with hope, and said:
"It's okay. I'll help you find whatever you need. Don't give up. I know I might feel a little sorry for you, for making you and I worry about Big Brother together, but... Anyway, if you can really help me find who killed Big Brother, I will, I will -"
"I'll have our entire class, no, the entire school, follow you and become your fans!"
Lin Guantang: ...
That's not necessary.
"I just want to know the truth, not to ask you to do anything."
Lin Guantang looked at him and smiled, saying:
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I also have selfish motives. I want to help Huo Shizhen clear his reputation, so we are working together. No one is wronging anyone."
Speaking of Huo Shizhen, Yuan Zhixin was so frightened by the scene that day that he had nightmares, and even the memory of it made him feel extremely painful.
He simply couldn't understand why Kobayashi, such a good person, was with someone who looked like a demon king from a fairy tale.
Hearing the reason he said he was cooperating with himself, and that he was still going to help Huo Shizhen clear his reputation, after thinking about it again and again, he couldn't help but whispered:
"To be honest, I don't think he's a good person. Brother Xiaolin, are you really in a relationship with him?"
Lin Guantang: ...
This is the disadvantage of not accumulating good character in daily life. Look, you can’t even get the likes of a little child.
Lin Guantang clicked his tongue twice. Although he agreed with Yuan Zhixin's words, it didn't mean that he wanted to discuss this issue with someone who was truly dissatisfied with Huo Shizhen.
Therefore, Lin Guantang said seriously:
"Not yet, but he's my choice. If you don't like him, let's not talk about this and just talk about your eldest brother, okay?"
Yuan Zhixin also looked at him seriously, then suddenly said, "Oh!"
"I understand. This is what our Chinese teacher said: estrangement does not separate close relatives. I understand. I will never speak ill of him in front of you, Brother Xiaolin again."
Then you are doing quite well in Chinese class.
However, does this sentence mean that you are going to say bad things about him to others behind his back?
If you say——
There was nothing Lin Guantang could do about it, as he couldn't interfere with other people's private discussions.
Lin Guantang touched his head and stopped talking about Huo Shizhen. He continued to discuss the contents of the test form, but his thoughts were soon interrupted by the noise around him.
They were sitting right in front of the ward where Hara Zhiren was, so when the impulsive incident in front of the door happened, they witnessed almost the entire process head-on.
It’s not quite accurate to call it a conflict, because it looked more like a one-sided beating.
A thin and haggard young man was pushed out of the hall by a group of bodyguards. The young man lost his footing and rolled down the stairs. There were several flights of stairs, and just bystanders could feel the pain. However, the young man did not care about his injuries. He sat on the ground and even forgot to stand up. He was still trying hard to gesture something.
The bodyguards didn't care about his injuries and continued to insult him with words like "unworthy" and "don't come again".
After the group of people finished cursing, they went back to the hall, leaving the young man kneeling dejectedly on the ground. After a while, he struggled to get up from the ground, and then stood at the door in a daze.
Lin Guantang narrowed his eyes. He recognized that the bodyguards were from the Yuan family, but he had never seen the young man before.
Lin Guantang asked:
"who is he?"
Yuan Zhixin showed a disgusted expression and said:
"That's the gambler my eldest brother used to like. His name was Xiaoyu. He cheated my eldest brother out of a lot of money. He said many times that he would stop gambling, but he still gambled secretly. He even stole my eldest brother's things to pay off his gambling debts. It's disgusting. My eldest brother has seen through his character and doesn't want to be with him anymore. I don't know why he's here now."
While Lin Guantang was listening to Yuan Zhixin talking about the young man, he watched the young man turn around with staggering steps, take a few steps, look left and right, and finally look in their direction. He stared at them for a while, as if he had made some big decision, and then walked towards them with a limp step.
The closer I got, the clearer I could see. He was thin, with delicate features, but his haggardness was hard to conceal.
He was wearing cheap clothes, but they were neat, except that they were covered in dust from being jostled around.
He finally stopped in front of Hara Chixin and said almost pleadingly:
"Young Master, please, let me take a look at Ren."
Yuan Zhixin rolled his eyes and refused mercilessly:
"I won't let you go and see it. Besides, my eldest brother is wearing a hospital gown and is unconscious. He has nothing on him for you to steal."
Xiaoyu's already bleak face became even paler because of these words. Her lips moved as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end she said nothing. She just sniffed and continued to beg.
But Yuan Zhixin had no good feelings towards him and refused to help him no matter what. The hope in Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed little by little and finally disappeared. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by the person sitting next to Yuan Zhixin.
"Want to take a gamble?"
