Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

During dinner, Ji Shumiao talked about his next plans: "The hospital and research institute in my hometown are now completed, so I will definitely go there. I'll also go back to see the Matcha factory. I haven't been there for almost two years."

Although the hospital and research institute cooperated with the Lu and Xiong families, they were small projects for the two families and were not worth mentioning, so most of them were left to Ji Shumiao to operate.

The Matcha Factory has never given her any worries. In the past two years, Liao Da came to Beijing to report to her. Lang Ge and Xiao Yu had been there twice, but she had never had time to take care of them.

Grandma peeled a crayfish for her and said, "Are you going alone? It's so unsafe. Let Lang go with you."

"Qingqing and Sister Xiaoxiao will go with me."

Yin Xiao, who had been eating frantically, raised his head and brushed off the rice on his face, "I'm here to keep you safe, don't worry, grandma."

Brother Wolf was called back for special training. Recently, Sister Xiaoxiao has been protecting Ji Shumiao closely, going in and out together. Ji Shumiao cleaned up the two guest rooms in his villa for them to stay in.

Grandma: "Then you are also a girl, you need protection."

Yin Xiao rolled up his sleeves to show off his muscles: "Girls can also protect others. I can beat ten adult men at once."

Tongtong's eyes lit up: "I want to beat ten too!"

Qin Rong stuffed the crayfish tail into her mouth: "You? You can only eat ten steamed dumplings."

Everyone laughed and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Grandpa said to Ji Shumiao, "It happens to be the anniversary of your grandfather's death. If you are free, go back and pay your respects. In previous years, Xiaoyu would go back, but I'm afraid he won't be free this year."

Ji Shumiao nodded: "Xiaoyu told me about this. But he has already agreed with the crew to take two days off and we can go together."

Grandpa nodded: "Okay."

The newly built hospital of integrated Chinese and Western medicine is managed by three elders, Cao Fengteng, Su He, and Su Ziyuan. There are also professors from the medical university who come in for regular consultations, and several Western medicine masters have been hired at high salaries. With the resources of the Cao family, you two don't need Ji Shumiao to worry about the doctors.

After visiting the hospital and research institute, Ji Shumiao followed local officials to see the Chinese medicine planting base deep in the mountains.

The mountain road was treacherous and Ji Shumiao and his group had a hard time walking, but Yin Xiao walked as if it were flat ground. He enjoyed the scenery while carrying Ji Shumiao in one hand and Qingqing in the other.

"This area is planted with Gastrodia elata." The young village official pointed to a large area of ​​forest in front of him, with a smile on his face and eyes. "When they are ripe next year and sold at a good price, the villagers will have hope of getting out of poverty."

Ji Shumiao nodded: "As long as the quality is good, I will buy as much as you can."

The planting experts on site assured her that the quality of this batch of Gastrodia elata must be the best on the market.

Ji Shumiao: "That's good."

The production and research and development of medical devices are projects that require a lot of money.

We have to find a way to make more money from milk tea, clothing, mobile phones and games, otherwise how can we afford this place in the future.

The richer you are, the more you need money.

Everything was going well at the matcha factory, with profits rising year by year. Ji Shumiao inspected it and was extremely satisfied.

When he came back this time, Ji Shumiao was still harassed by his uncle Ji Shiqian's brothers and sisters, but before he could open his mouth, he was scared back by the murderous aura deliberately emitted by Yin Xiao.

They should deeply regret forcing Ji Shiqian to pay the 100,000 yuan, which made Ji Shiqian feel disappointed.

In recent years, Ji Shiqian has never been nice to other relatives except Uncle Ji's family.

Watching those people leave, Ji Shumiao suddenly remembered the distant aunt and her grandson Qiu Xulai, and casually asked Liao Da: "Is Qiu Xu still in the factory?"

Liao Da was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered: "He's gone. His house caught fire in the winter of the year before last, and his grandmother didn't come out. The factory even sent someone to visit their home to express their condolences."

Not only is he no longer in the factory, he is no longer alive.

Ji Shumiao was stunned, feeling that something was fishy.

"Why did it catch fire?"

Liao Da shook his head: "I don't know. I heard that an old man used the heater to dry his clothes, but he turned around and forgot about it, and the house caught fire."

It was too weird. Ji Shumiao was puzzled. He asked the old detective who handled the case at that time, and found the old detective's home with Yin Xiao.

"I still remember this family." The old criminal policeman who just retired from his post clearly remembered every case he had handled. "This young man set himself on fire. His body was the worst burned, leaving only a black skeleton. Gasoline barrels were also found in his home. This old woman entered the fire scene after she died. The forensic autopsy of her lungs showed no signs of inhalation of fire particles..."

The case was closed as suicide at the time, as it was believed that Qiu Xu accidentally killed his grandmother and then set himself on fire.

Ji Shumiao felt more and more uneasy, and she suddenly remembered the suffocating black clouds on Mount Kunlun.

She sent a message to Tan Qiu and asked: Sister Qiuqiu, can a person's IQ be significantly improved in a short period of time?

I can only wait for Tan Qiu to reply. I still remember the New Year's greeting text message she sent me last year, but I didn't receive a reply until the Dragon Boat Festival.

After paying homage to Grandpa Qin Sheng with Xiaoyu, Ji Shumiao set off back to Beijing.

While waiting for the flight at the airport, Yin Xiao stood up and answered a phone call. Ji Shumiao saw that her face was becoming increasingly ugly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Shumiao asked with concern.

Yinxiao glanced at Qingqing beside her, shook his head and said nothing.

It was not until he returned to Beijing and separated from Qingqing that Yin Xiao told her: "The old detective is dead."

"What?!" Ji Shumiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "He was fine the day we went there, and he seemed to be in good health."

"It was gone the night we went there." Yin Xiao also frowned, "Your necklace was found at the scene."

Ji Shumiao subconsciously touched her neck, and then remembered that she had brought several necklaces with her this time. She had worn different ones these days. She had no idea which one was lost or when.

It was obvious that someone wanted to put the blame on her. If Yin Xiao hadn't been following her, she wouldn't be able to clear herself of the crime even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"The higher-ups have suppressed the matter. They called me just to confirm the actual situation." Yin Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Also, the files of the fire case were tampered with. The old detective's leader at the time resigned and immigrated abroad not long after the incident."

"Foreign forces?" Ji Shumiao was troubled. "When did I...when did I offend them?"

Yin Xiao shook his head: "My boss told me to tell you not to worry, someone will investigate it."

She indirectly killed an innocent life. How could Ji Shumiao not be suspicious? She was heartbroken and distressed.

Doubts arise one after another, like scattered puzzle pieces that can't be put together.

What had she overlooked or forgotten?
