"I really hope that Mr. Xia's judgment is wrong!" Liu Qunfeng said with a wry smile. "But logic tells me that this may be the only answer …"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and continued to look at Liu Qunfeng, waiting for him to continue.
Liu Qunfeng sighed and said, "Mr. Xia, please give me some time. I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Of course, no problem. But … Mr. Liu's current condition is not very good. Although I used acupuncture to temporarily suppress his illness, this is not a long-term solution. Also, I have to make it clear to Director Liu that because of the problems with the storage of this batch of pills, now the treatment effect of the previous stage has been lost. Mr. Liu's physical condition is even worse than before I intervened … "
"I understand!" Liu Qunfeng said quickly. "Mr. Xia, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter! Please try your best to save my father's life first … "
Xia Ruofei smiled noncommittally and said, "Then, Director Liu, you should investigate first! I won't accompany you. "
"Okay! Okay! " Liu Qunfeng said quickly and personally walked Xia Ruofei to the door, then returned to the room where the pills were stored.
His face became very serious, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes. The man in black couldn't help but subconsciously stay away from him.
Liu Qunfeng took out his phone and dialed a number. He said faintly, "Inform the core members of the family in Beijing to come immediately. I have a very important matter to discuss with everyone!"
After the phone call, Liu Qunfeng left the room. Before he went out, he patted the man in black on the shoulder and told him to do his best to guard the room.
…
More than an hour later, in a small meeting room on the first floor of the house, the last core member of the family in Beijing, Liu Qunfeng's youngest sister, Liu Lifang, hurried into the meeting room and said, "There was a traffic jam on the way! Brother, why did you call everyone in such a hurry? I'm busy at the company! "
Liu Qunfeng looked at Liu Lifang with a complicated expression. He didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he stood up and said, "Since everyone is here, then … please follow me upstairs!"
Although Liu Chongli, Elder Liu's cousin, had a higher seniority than Liu Qunfeng, his position in the family was far from Liu Qunfeng's. Therefore, even when facing his own nephew, he did not dare to take advantage of his seniority.
However, Liu Chongli could not help but ask with a face full of smiles, "Qunfeng, what's the matter? Could it be that Big Brother … "
Liu Qunfeng said, "Father's condition is stable for the time being. It's my idea to gather everyone here. It has nothing to do with Father. As for why I've called you all here … you'll know soon enough. Now, follow me upstairs! "
Everyone saw Liu Qunfeng's sullen face and did not dare to ask more. They followed Liu Qunfeng upstairs with a belly full of questions.
Liu Qunfeng led the group of people to the room next to Elder Liu's room. He went straight to the refrigerator where the pills were stored and said with a sullen face, "The reason for the deterioration of Elder Liu's condition has been found. About seven to eight days ago, someone tampered with Elder Liu's life-saving medicine, causing the medicine to disappear. In other words, Elder Liu has actually stopped taking the medicine for seven to eight days. That's why his condition is getting worse by the day!"
As soon as Liu Qunfeng said this, the faces of the core members of the Family Liu changed drastically.
If what Liu Qunfeng said was true, then the nature of the matter was serious. This was no longer a simple matter of treatment. Someone had tampered with the pills. That was murder! Old Master Liu was the mainstay of the Liu family. Any slight change in his physical condition would have a huge impact on the family.
Liu Chongli asked with a serious expression, "Qunfeng, this is not a small matter. Can you confirm it?"
Liu Qunfeng nodded solemnly and said, "I'm at least 80% sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gathered everyone here."
"Then we must investigate thoroughly!" Liu Chongli said in a deep voice, "I want to see who is so bold! Which force is behind this? "
Liu Qunfei, Liu Liru, and the others were also filled with righteous indignation and expressed their desire to find the culprit.
Liu Lifang, who was usually noisy, had a flicker in her eyes after hearing Liu Qunfeng's words. Her face also turned pale.
Liu Qunfeng glanced at Liu Lifang intentionally and said lightly, "Of course we have to investigate! It's just that our security here is tight. There are very few people who can enter and leave this room. These pills are under 24-hour surveillance. Who could have touched them without anyone knowing? "
Liu Liru said calmly, "Big brother, aren't there surveillance cameras here? Why don't we check the surveillance cameras? Could it be that … the surveillance cameras from seven to eight days ago have been wiped out? "
"The server here can store at least a month's worth of surveillance data. The surveillance videos from seven to eight days ago must be there." Liu Qunfeng said lightly, "I just hope that this person can take the initiative to come forward, so that it won't look bad for everyone!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Liu Chongli squinted his eyes and asked, "Qunfeng, you mean … There is a mole in our Family Liu? And this mole is among us? "
"Big brother, you can't just say that!" Liu Liru said with a worried look. "This accusation is too serious! We are the closest people to the old man. What reason would there be for them to kill the old man? What good would it do for them? This doesn't make sense logically! If because of this, everyone is suspicious of each other, wouldn't that be even more … "
Liu Qunfeng waved his hand and said, "If I wasn't certain, I wouldn't have said this! And … I didn't say that this person must be the mole! To be honest, I'm quite curious about her motive. What was the reason for her to kill her biological father? "
After Liu Qunfeng said this, Liu Chongli and his two sons secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They had been cleared of suspicion, but Liu Qunfeng's siblings' faces changed drastically.
Liu Qunfeng didn't pay attention to his siblings, but stared sharply at Liu Lifang and asked lightly, "Little sister, what do you think? Why would this person do this? Or … What good would it do her? "
At this time, everyone noticed that Liu Lifang's face was as pale as a sheet. Her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her forehead kept sweating.
Liu Liru saw this and couldn't help but open her eyes wide. She stared at Liu Lifang and asked, "Little sister! Did you do this? Why? Why did you do this? "
Liu Lifang subconsciously shouted, "I didn't!"
"No? If you didn't, then why are you so nervous? "Liu Liru stared at Liu Lifang and asked," Are you feeling guilty? I just thought that big brother was suspecting his own people, but I didn't expect that it was really … "
Liu Chongli and his two sons exchanged glances, and they both chose to remain silent.
Obviously, this was a matter between Liu Qunfeng and his siblings. Since this matter had nothing to do with Liu Chongli's branch, the best choice was to remain silent. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything.
Liu Qunfeng said coldly, "Little sister! I remember that you came to visit dad eight days ago, and to show your filial piety, you personally went to take the pills for him … Then, the next day, you came again and used the same reason to open the fridge to take out the pills. Little sister, do you want us to check the CCTV and see what you did those two days? "
When Liu Lifang heard that Liu Qunfeng wanted to check the CCTV, she immediately turned pale and shouted, "No … Big brother! Don't look at the CCTV, I … I'll talk … "
"We're all listening. I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation," Liu Qunfeng said calmly.
Liu Lifang's lips trembled slightly as she said, "I … I didn't switch dad's pills …"
"You still don't admit it!" Liu Qunfeng stared and said sternly, "Do you really think that I don't dare to punish you?"
"I really didn't!" Liu Lifang cried with tears in her eyes, "Big brother, I … I just touched these pills, and then I wrapped them up again! I … I really didn't think that this would have such a serious impact on dad! "
Liu Qunfeng frowned and said, "You just touched them? Little sister, you're still quibbling at this time? And you're using such a ridiculous excuse! Don't you think that you're insulting our intelligence? I advise you to tell us the truth! I also believe that you wouldn't be so vicious as to kill your biological father, so you were most likely bewitched by someone! If you tell us the truth, I can consider giving you a lighter punishment! "
Liu Lifang couldn't defend herself at this time. She said with a trace of despair, "Everything I said was the truth, and no one ordered me to do it! Even if you kill me, I'll say the same thing … There's no such thing, how do you want me to explain it? "
"Humph! You won't cry until you see the coffin! " Liu Qunfeng snorted coldly and said, "Then why don't you tell me why you touched every single pill for no reason? Don't tell me you have some special fetish? I'd like to see how you're going to cover up this lie! "
Liu Lifang hesitated for a moment. She gently bit her lower lip and then said, "I … I know you won't believe me, but this is the truth! I … I came to visit dad that day … "
"Which day? Say it clearly! "Liu Qunfeng impatiently interrupted Liu Lifang's words.
"Just … Just eight days ago …" Liu Lifang stammered, "That day when I came over, I saw the nurse taking the medicine. I was on my way to dad's room, so I asked the nurse to pass the medicine to me … On the way to dad's room, my hand accidentally touched the pill …"
Speaking up to this point, Liu Lifang timidly looked at Liu Qunfeng and the other family members, then said, "At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but very quickly I remembered that surnamed Xia said that the pill couldn't be directly touched by the skin … Originally I wanted to go back and change the pill, but when I looked at it, although my hand touched the pill, it didn't have any changes at all! I was also afraid of being scolded by big brother, so I hid this matter and directly gave dad the pill. At first I was a little worried, but when I saw that dad didn't have any adverse reactions after taking the pill, I was relieved … "
"Get to the point!" Liu Qunfeng said coldly, "Our patience is limited!"
Liu Lifang hurriedly nodded, then a strange look appeared on her face. Her eyes were a little confused as she said, "After I went back that day, I suddenly realized that the allergic rhinitis that often acted up during that period of time seemed to have improved a lot all of a sudden. In the past, no matter how much medicine I took during this season, the allergic rhinitis never recovered. This time, I didn't sneeze the whole night … I thought about it, and other than touching the pill during the day, I couldn't think of any other reason. "
"So the next day you came here again and found a chance to touch every single pill?" Liu Qunfeng asked coldly.
It was the first time Liu Lifang had seen her big brother speak in such a tone, and there was a strange feeling in her heart, and at the same time, she felt very scared.
She dodged his gaze as she nodded and said, "I wanted to verify my guess. At the same time, because the pill that I touched the day before didn't cause any harm to father, I found an excuse to send the guards away. Then, I touched every single pill and wrapped them up again before putting them back …"
Speaking of this, Liu Lifang hurriedly said, "Big brother, I really didn't collude with outsiders, if what I said just now was a lie, then let me die a horrible death! I … I only touched the pill, I really didn't think that there would be such serious consequences! "
Liu Qunfeng was a little uncertain in his heart. After being siblings for so many years, Liu Qunfeng understood Liu Lifang quite well. He knew that his sister usually had the habits of a rich family, was a little mean, and at the same time, was a little short-sighted, but to say that she would be so vicious to her own biological father, Liu Qunfeng himself wouldn't believe it.
But if what Liu Lifang said was true, then this matter was too strange …
Just when Liu Qunfeng was hesitating, Liu Liru said coldly, "Little sister! You'd better not make such a serious oath! What if it came true? "
"What do you mean? Are you still suspecting that I'm lying? "Liu Lifang questioned with red eyes.
Liu Liru laughed disdainfully and said, "You should make up a more reasonable story, to be able to make all the effects of the pill disappear just by touching it … Do you think this is a fairy tale?"
"But that's the truth!" Liu Lifang hurriedly said, "Other than touching these pills, I didn't do anything else! I'm even suspecting that I'm just unlucky to have encountered this matter, but in reality, these pills have already lost their effects! Who knows what that Xia fellow is thinking? He has many conflicts with our Family Liu! "
Just then, a mocking voice was heard from the door, "So, you're saying that you're trying to push the blame to me?"
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the voice, and only then did they realize that Xia Ruofei had walked over from the next room. He was standing at the door, looking at Liu Lifang with interest.
"Mr Xia!" Liu Qunfeng hurriedly took a few steps forward, then said with a wry smile, "I've made a fool of myself in front of you …"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly, then looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Liu Lifang. He said, "Department Head Liu, it's not that I've made a fool of myself, it's just that … your sister's way of thinking is a little different from ordinary people!"
