Huo Shaoheng stood in front of her with a small test tube and a few pages of yellowed paper in his hand, as if he had torn them from a notebook.
Gu Nianzhi looked up.
Her eyes were as clear as water, and she looked calm and peaceful without any emotion.
However, from Huo Shaoheng's point of view, he could see the hidden concern and worry in the depths of her eyes.
In fact, she had hidden it so well that if it hadn't been for the fact that this had happened so suddenly that she didn't have time to hide the expression in her eyes, even Huo Shaoheng wouldn't have been able to tell what she was really thinking.
Her gaze gradually slid down from Huo Shaoheng's perfect and exquisite jaw to Huo Shaoheng's outstretched hand.
It was this pair of almost flawless hands that had once misled her..
Gu Nianzhi suddenly became distracted.
Perhaps she should ask Huo Shaoheng how he took care of his hands?
However, this was only a fleeting thought.
Gu Nianzhi quickly came back to her senses, and her gaze lingered on the two things in Huo Shaoheng's hand.
She didn't reach out to take them. She just looked at them quietly for a while and said, "What is this?"
"It's a test tube and experimental design!" Lu Jin rushed to say, as if he was eager to "atone for his crimes". "The test tube is the result of my experimental design. Those pieces of paper were my experimental design back then. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and looked down to write a few words on her phone. She then asked Huo Shaoheng, "You found it in Ishihara Baisan's room? Where was it in his room? "
A hint of admiration flashed across Huo Shaoheng's eyes, and he said lightly, "… Right next to his body."
Gu Nianzhi quickly reacted. "… Right next to him? Why wasn't it stained with blood? "
"Because Ishihara Baisan accurately estimated the direction of the blood flow when he cut himself." Lu Jin added in a very academic manner, "For people who often do animal experiments, they should have a full understanding of the consequences of each cut, where the blood will flow from, and where it will eventually flow."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"That's not the point," Gu Nianzhi said lightly, silently ignoring Lu Jin's "seeking praise" gaze.
Lu Yuan, who had followed Huo Shaoheng in, couldn't help chuckling when he heard this.
Lu Jin turned to see him and said angrily, "Boss Lu, why aren't you going to cook?! You've already been lazy and didn't make breakfast. Don't tell me you won't let us eat lunch too?! "
Lu Yuan knew that he was venting his anger, so he didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "I'm just here to make lunch."
He nodded at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, interrogate your father properly. He's not afraid of anything. No one can handle him." He turned to leave the living room and went to the kitchen to cook.
Anyway, Huo Shaoheng had a listening device on him. Lu Yuan could connect to his listening device through the internet and hear the conversation in the living room, so he didn't have to stay here all the time.
Gu Nianzhi heard Lu Yuan's words and glanced sideways at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin sat upright. He lowered his head and denied it three times in a row. "I didn't, I'm not. Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Nianzhi held back her laughter and said to Lu Yuan's back, "Thank you, President Lu. I want to eat San Xian fried rice for lunch."
Lu Yuan's footsteps staggered, but he quickly walked to the kitchen and closed the translucent glass sliding door.
"Naughty again." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi and mouthed silently.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at him. She continued to look at her father, Lu Jin.
"Dad, I believe you're not afraid of anything," Gu Nianzhi said seriously. Gu Nianzhi said seriously, "President Lu isn't talking nonsense, but I still hope that you have some respect. For example, respect for law and order."
Lu Jin lowered his head even more.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear it anymore.
She didn't want to push Lu Jin too far, but when she thought about it carefully, there were too many questions. If she didn't figure it out, she would be too passive.
Especially since Ishihara Baisan admired Qin Yaoguang so much. Gu Nianzhi always felt that she had to pay 120% attention to everything that involved Qin Yaoguang.
Therefore, she poured Lu Jin a glass of milk. "Dad, you haven't had breakfast yet. Drink some milk first."
Lu Jin quickly took a big gulp and calmed himself down.
Gu Nianzhi watched Lu Jin finish drinking the milk before continuing to ask, "Since these two things are the strongest evidence of Ishihara Baisan's attack, why did he protect them so well? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he try his best to destroy these two things? "
"Or rather, even if he didn't destroy them, why would he carefully calculate which part of his body was the most conspicuous and wouldn't be stained with blood when he would commit suicide?"
Gu Nianzhi asked a series of questions.
The corners of Lu Jin's mouth twitched twice, and his gaze darted between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Did these two really not talk to each other?
Why were they analyzing the problem from the same perspective?
Lu Jin felt like an outsider at this moment. He couldn't squeeze into the world of these two people no matter what..
What happened to having someone else in her heart?
What happened to having a fiancé in the other world?
Looking at this tacit understanding, he had been with the two of them for many years..
As expected of a counterpart. Could it be that even their thoughts and feelings were synchronized?
Lu Jin thought sourly. He felt more and more that after being separated from his daughter for so many years, not only did he owe his daughter, but he also owed himself.
Gu Nianzhi ignored Lu Jin's temper and looked at Huo Shaoheng inquiringly.
"… I think he's sending a message to someone." Huo Shaoheng analyzed, "As you said, that position is indeed the most conspicuous. As soon as an outsider comes in, they'll be able to see it at a glance. "
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. "I see."
She stood up and paced back and forth in the living room. She said excitedly, "Ishihara Baisan knows that he committed suicide by committing suicide. It will definitely cause a huge news effect. After all, it's the first day of the New Year, and he's a foreign scientist who just attended the Spring Festival Gala."
"He used this method to send a message to his accomplice. But what message did he want to send? Could it be that he wanted to inform his partner that he had plagiarized? " Gu Nianzhi frowned and stood in front of the window with her arms crossed. She shook her head and denied her own thoughts. "No, that's definitely not the case. Could it be … "
Gu Nianzhi suddenly turned around and found Lu Jin staring at her back without blinking.
"Could it be that through this incident, he thinks … Gu Xiangwen is actually not dead?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin in confusion.
Lu Jin hurriedly looked away and shook his head. "I don't know about that. I called him and told him that Gu Xiangwen gave me these things before he died. I didn't say that I was Gu Xiangwen."
Gu Nianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She walked over and snuggled up to Lu Jin's feet. She looked up at him and said with a smile, "Dad, if you can deduce the truth from some clues, others can too. Especially someone like Ishihara Baisan. He plagiarized your experimental design … "
Gu Nianzhi paused and suddenly thought of another question.
"Dad, how many years has it been since Ishihara Baisan plagiarized your experimental design?"
"At least 30 years." Lu Jin thought for a moment and said calmly, "I don't remember very clearly."
"Look, you can't even remember how many years it has been. How did Ishihara Baisan immediately realize what it was when he saw these pages of notes?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng in confusion. "And he could immediately commit suicide?"
Huo Shaoheng frowned and said thoughtfully, "That's a good question. I didn't even think about it."
Lu Jin tried his best to keep his expression calm, but his back was already sweating slightly.
He didn't expect his biological daughter to be even more difficult to deal with than the KGB …
Gu Nianzhi's gaze quickly fell on Lu Jin again.
Although Lu Jin looked no different from before, upon closer inspection, she could see the fine beads of sweat seeping out of his forehead and hairline. His arms were also trembling slightly, like Parkinson's disease …
Gu Nianzhi held Lu Jin's hand gently and firmly. She thought to herself, what is he afraid of?
However, seeing Lu Jin like this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear to continue asking him.
Today was the first day of the New Year. This was the first time the father and daughter had spent the New Year together in so many years. They couldn't be led astray by Ishihara Baisan …
Gu Nianzhi smiled and changed the topic. "Forget it. Maybe Ishihara Baisan has always been feeling guilty about the plagiarism incident. So when he saw these pages of notes, he thought, 'Oh my, the other boot has finally dropped to the ground …'"
"Actually, he has ulterior motives, right?" Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook Lu Jin's arm.
Lu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, that's it! That's it! "
As he spoke, he stood up. "Nianzhi, I've prepared a gift for you. I'll bring it to you!"
