Chapter 266 Her Dowry
Mr. Chen thought for a while and asked her, "Did you find two apples under the sofa at home after the fire?"
Chi Xia was a little shocked: "How do you know!"
"I put the apple there myself." Chen Yinghui said, "According to your mother's wishes."
Chi Xia was even more incredulous: "You mean, my mother asked you to put the apple in there afterwards?"
"yes."
Chen Yinghui nodded: "Although I noticed her abnormality at the time, I didn't think about her death. I just wanted to call your father and ask him to keep an eye on your mother. But your father's phone was turned off at the time. Later, I was delayed for a while because of some things. When I remembered this, it was already the next day. At that time, they had already had an accident..."
"What about the apple?" Chi Xia asked anxiously, "When did I give it to you?"
"On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, my assistant received a package in the same city. Inside was the two apples, and there was also a letter from your mother, asking me to find a chance to put it in there. This was a clue for you. I checked it carefully at the time, and there were pinholes on the apples, right?"
Chi Xia nodded: "I tested it later, and the toxins in it could not be detected, but it is very likely to have the effect of paralyzing the nerves."
Old Chen sighed again.
Chi Xia hugged the things that Chen Lao gave her and said sincerely, "Thank you."
"It's just a small favor for me."
Chen Yinghui said, "From your memory, I can probably guess what you were facing. After your parents got into trouble, I didn't want you to come back to Dongzhou. I didn't expect you to come back quietly. Although the case has been solved now, I think the things you really have to face have just begun to emerge, right?"
"You're right." Chi Xia smiled a little tiredly: "But don't worry, I will be careful."
"That's good."
Chen Yinghui stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb you from working. If you need any help from Grandpa Chen in the future, just let me know. Also, I don't have to hide from you now. When you're done, come have dinner with me and we'll have a good time together."
"Of course." Chi Xia sent him out: "I'll treat you then."
Chen Yinghui smiled, waved his hands and refused to let her send him down, then went downstairs by himself.
Back in the office, Juanmao and Luo Xun had not returned yet. Chi Xia sat back at his desk and stared at the package that Chen Yinghui gave him for a long time before opening it.
After opening the outer paper package and revealing the finest silk scarf inside, Chi Xia felt as if she were in another world.
Yang Shujun loves romance, and especially likes silk items. She has a lot of them at home. Sometimes when she packs small accessories or gives gifts to friends, she will wrap them with silk scarves, tie them carefully, and then put them in a carefully selected gift box before sending them off.
There was a lily embroidered on the silk scarf in front of Chi Xia, but it was so crooked that it was almost impossible to make out what the lily looked like.
It was she who insisted that Chi Xia embroider with her, and Chi Xia had no choice but to accompany her patiently. Unexpectedly, she took it seriously and liked it very much.
Chi Xia opened the scarf and heard the sound coming from inside, and she already had a vague guess in her mind.
The knot was untied, and just as Chi Xia had guessed, the scarf contained some jewelry, all of which were Yang Shujun's favorite at the time.
Of course, it’s also valuable.
Once, Chi Xia helped her pack up her things, and Yang Shujun asked Chi Xia: "Pick some, and then your mother will pass them on to you as a dowry . Girls should have some confidence, right? Pick boldly."
Chi Xia looked at the ones in the scarf, all of which she had pointed at and said she liked.
No wonder Chi Xia felt that a lot was missing when he counted his belongings five years ago.
In addition to the jewelry, there were also two house deeds and a bank card. When Chi Xia opened it, she found that they were bought for herself, but she did not find these when she was dealing with the relevant funeral affairs that year.
There was a letter tucked into the house certificate.
Chi Xia was already a little nervous and took two breaths before opening the envelope.
To Chi Xia's surprise, there was not a letter written by Yang Shujun inside, but a list. The handwriting was very familiar, and it was indeed Yang Shujun's.
At the top center of the list was written: Xia Xia's Dowry
Below are the relevant list names, and at the end it notes who Chi Xia should contact to deal with these things when he gets them.
Chi Xia remembered the person who asked her to contact him. That was Yang Shujun's best friend. She went abroad to settle down two years ago. She looked for Chi Xia once before leaving, and they had always been in contact.
Thinking about a lot of things now, sometimes during a chat, the other party would intentionally or unintentionally test whether Chi Xia had obtained these things. Once she had obtained them, the other party could fulfill her promise to her friend.
While Chi Xia was still staring at these things in a daze, Luo Xun came back.
She came back to her senses and put away the things on the table: "What did Director Chang say?"
"The provincial department has already started taking action, and someone will send a batch of information over." Luo Xun looked at the things on her desk: "Did Mr. Chen give it to you?"
"Yeah." Chi Xia pulled the corner of his mouth: "It's the dowry my mother left for me."
"The gift won't be bad either." Luo Xun said, his face darkening: "Chi Xia, I have to go back home ."
Chi Xia was a little worried: "Do you want me to go back with you?"
"No need." Luo Xun shook his head: "Let me go and talk to them. Have you contacted the relatives of the other victims?"
"I'll contact you when you leave."
"good."
Luo Xun glanced around and saw the box full of envelopes: "As for those letters, I probably won't read them. You or Curly can go and take a look. The answer to where the other victim is buried should be in those letters."
Chi Xia nodded and asked him again: "I may have to go see Zheng Jinghuai again, do you want to go with me?"
Luo Xun was stunned: "I won't go. Our fate as master and disciple ends here in this life."
"Is there nothing else you want to ask him?"
"Yes, there are many."
Luo Xun smiled awkwardly: " But think about it, there is no need. The result is already here. No matter how many difficulties he has, it doesn't matter. I can't forgive on behalf of the victim, so let it be. Gone, gone for the rest of this life."
“The awareness is very high.”
Chi Xia patted him on the head and said, "Comfort your uncle and aunt. If necessary, you can use me to divert attention."
"Okay." Luo Xun also patted her head: "Officer Chi, I'm leaving now."
Luo Xun walked out a few steps, then turned back and said, "We still haven't found the whereabouts of Xiao Zheng."
"It's as expected." Chi Xia frowned: "Don't worry about it for now, we'll talk about it when we get back."
He watched Luo Xun's car leave the task force, and when passing by the security booth, he stuck his head out to say hello as usual.
Chi Xia could sense from afar his embarrassment when he found out that it was not Zhang Jinguo who responded to him.
She carefully packed the dowry that Yang Shujun left for her into her bag. Seeing that the jasmine buds in the pot on the table had become much fewer in the past two days, she quickly picked up the spray bottle and sprayed it.
Lin Wenjue sent a message to ask about the situation. Chi Xia was about to call him back when his phone suddenly showed an intercepted text message.
Chi Xia clicked on the harassment blocking function and then clicked on the text message that had just been blocked.
The text message said: Do you think you won? Fox.
There was also a photo attached below the text message, which showed a fox pendant, exactly the same as the one Chi Xia and the others found at Tu Guoan's place when they were in Yu Ji.
Chi Xia saved the photo and looked at it. After a while, she didn't know what she saw and enlarged the photo.
