I resent my mother, and I hope she can live a good life...

——Mingrui

Chu Mi's smile froze for a while.

The 11-year-old Ming Rui stared at him without blinking, his dark eyes reflected his slightly stiff smile, and there was undisguised confusion on his immature face.

Yes, no matter how precocious Ming Rui is now, he is still just a child.Even though Chu Mie's greeting was a little strange, he didn't think about the fact that the person in front of him had changed his soul.

Chu Mie didn't know exactly how Lu Fangnan treated Ming Rui, but at least it was definitely not a good attitude.But since he had already greeted him with a good attitude just now, it was always a little strange to suddenly change his face, so he simply made a mistake.

He intentionally showed an appearance that a good thing was about to happen, and couldn't hide the joy in his brows. He waved his hand nonchalantly at Ming Rui: "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the stairs with his expression unchanged, and he was relieved when he was completely away from Ming Rui's sight.

Mingrui carried his schoolbag on his back, stunned at Chu Mi's slightly brisk steps, and murmured, "I guess something good happened to him, right? He usually doesn't like to talk to me..."

"Good thing..."

Ming Rui stared at Chu Mie's disappearing figure, and sneered, "It's impossible for anything good to happen to me anyway."

"It's time to go to school."

Ming Rui clenched the strap of his backpack, sighed reluctantly, and murmured as he walked out, "I really want to grow up quickly."

…………

Going to the hospital was just a requirement of the plot, Chu Mie didn't know why Lu Fangnan went to the hospital originally, just happened to feel a little sore in his throat, so he simply called a general outpatient clinic.

Chu Mie woke up relatively early, and it was his turn soon after the registration.

The man who saw him was a serious-looking male doctor. After confirming that he was the patient himself, he came up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Throat hurts a bit."

"What else is uncomfortable?"

Chu Mie thought for a while and said, "It's gone for now."

"When did you feel sick?"

Chu Mie: "Get up this morning."

"A few days?"

"That's what I felt when I woke up."

doctor:"……"

The first time I saw a sore throat, I came to see a doctor. Don't normal people wait or take a medicine?

The doctor paused, then took out a sterilized small wooden stick: "Open your mouth."

Chu Mie opened his mouth very cooperatively.

After the doctor's examination, he began to write the medical record, and asked while writing: "The throat is a little inflamed, and the problem is not serious. Have you caught a cold recently?"

Chu Mie replied honestly, "I slept on the floor all night."

The doctor paused while writing the medical records, and looked at Chu Mie with a frown: "Why did you sleep on the floor all night? Now it's the season changing, and it's easier to catch a cold. Don't be too greedy for cold."

Chu Mie nodded obediently and said, "Okay, thank you doctor."

"Your cold is relatively mild." The doctor prescribed a simple prescription: "Take some medicine, and remember to keep warm when you go back."

Chu Mie took the bill and paid the fee before going to get the medicine.

He didn't really care about this cold, but for the sake of the plot flow, he had to come to the hospital this time.

Chu Mie stood at the door of the hospital, carrying medicine and preparing to go out.

"boom!"

The invisible barrier that suddenly appeared caused him to be bounced directly to the ground.

The others next to Chu Mie were so frightened that they hid aside, looking at him nervously and in surprise.

The nurse at the service desk next to him saw him suddenly fall to the ground, leaning forward against the service desk, as if he was ready to come to give first aid if something happened to Chu Mie.

Chu Mie: "..."

He got up from the ground in embarrassment, feeling ashamed for the first time.

The tailbone hurt slightly, and he didn't dare to rub it at all.

Chu Mie blushed, said "I'm sorry", and then carefully stretched out his hand to poke the place he just bumped into.

Something like ripples appeared in the air.

Was he stopped in the hospital?

[According to the plot, you should still be in the hospital for examination. 】

"what to check for?"

[Check the stomach. 】

Chu Mie was quiet for a second, then sneered, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

[You didn't ask. 】

Chu Mie: "..."

He didn't want to say anything anymore, he sighed depressingly, turned and went to the registration window.

The registration window was still the medical staff just now. She looked at Chu Mie in surprise and asked, "Is there anything you forgot?"

"No." Chu Mie said with a weary smile, "I'll make an appointment again, about gastroenterology."

She gave Chu Mie a weird look, and although she wondered "Why didn't I hang up all at once", she still registered for Chu Mie.

"Hey, ask the doctor later and ask me what's wrong, what should I say?"

[If you think the process is too troublesome, I can skip this paragraph for you. 】

Chu Mie naturally asked to skip this paragraph immediately.

【OK. 】

After a burst of dizziness in the brain, Chu Mie opened his eyes.

He was surprised to find that he was sitting in front of an older doctor, and the doctor looked at the test results with a frown, stared at Chu Mie after seeing the test results, and looked very angry, but he couldn't help it. Why did he not speak after all.

The doctor looked through the previous medical records by the way, and then turned to the medical records written by the serious doctor just now. He happened to see the time on the medical records, and his brows were furrowed deeper, as if he couldn't suppress his anger.

Chu Mi was stunned.

The doctor seemed to be suffering from severe chest tightness, and let out a long breath: "You young people are relying on your good health, eating and resting irregularly, and now you have something wrong with your stomach!"

"Fortunately, it's not too late, otherwise you will suffer!"

Chu Mie was as quiet as a chicken, obediently said: "You are right."

The doctor's lips straightened into a line, as if he didn't intend to say any more, just lowered his head to write the medical record, but he couldn't help but started to say: "They say don't shy away from medical treatment! You should be earlier—"

He seemed to recall that Chu Mie had a sore throat, and immediately went to the outpatient clinic. He was a little speechless, and looked at Chu Mie angrily: "Forget it, since there is something wrong with the stomach, then take good care of it from now on."

"……it is good."

Chu Mi felt bitter.

He asked to skip this paragraph, but why was he not skipped by the doctor?

After finishing the order, the doctor began to instruct: "Afterwards, you should eat regularly. During this period of time, pay attention to light diet, avoid alcohol and meat, and come back for a follow-up visit after a while."

Chu Mie took the list, nodded and said yes, and was about to turn around and run away, and then heard the doctor continue to emphasize:

"Pay attention to the rules of diet, avoid diseases and avoid medical treatment!"

Chu Mie had already opened the door, so he turned his head stiffly and smiled at the doctor and said "Okay", and then hurried out.

"Ugh--"

Chu Mie felt that the number of sighs today could exceed the number of sighs he had in a few days.

When he paid the fee and took the medicine according to the normal process, and stood at the door of the hospital, he had completed the plot process and could leave the hospital.

…………

It was already noon when Chu Mie returned to the apartment.

He took the medicine according to the doctor's advice, reheated and ate the leftover dishes, and tidied up Lu Fangnan's apartment briefly.

The time of the incident was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

It's not a weekend now, and most of the people who live in the apartment are still working, and it's impossible to come back at this point.

Ming Rui is now in the fourth grade, and the usual school dismissal time is around four o'clock, but on the day of the incident, he came back early at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Mie had thought before that it was impractical and unnecessary to stop the crime.

After all, this is a projection of the past.

All he had to do was get as much information as possible about the case.

Since the plot is mandatory, at the stage when Mingrui's mother and son were killed, he is likely to be forcibly controlled by the plot and unable to move freely.Therefore, the period before the crime is the only time for free action.

The current time is 01:30, and there is still half an hour before Ming Rui returns.

Judging from Ming Rui's attitude, the relationship between Lu Fangnan and his family is not very good, it should be mostly cold.

Although it is inappropriate to take the liberty to visit Mingrui's house now, if he doesn't do something, his participation in the plot will be meaningless.

"I have to find an excuse to find a way to get in."

Chu Mie thought for a while, got up and turned off the switch in the room, intending to use the power outage as an excuse to ask if there was a power outage next door.

He showed a somewhat irritated look, went to the 404 next door and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone?"

No one responded.

Could it be that no one is there?Shouldn't it?

Chu Mi hesitated and continued to knock on the door: "Is anyone there? My house has a power outage, and I want to ask about the situation here."

No one responded.

Chu Mie gently lowered his raised hand, staring at the number plate of Room 404 in a daze, thinking about what happened.

According to the news he got, Mingrui's mother must be in room 404 at the moment, but why ignore him?

Did he hate Lu Fangnan and didn't want to talk to him?Or did she suddenly go out for something?

No, Mingrui's mother's autopsy said that there was alcohol residue in her body, which meant that she must have drunk alcohol before she died.In addition to what the residents said - Mingrui's mother often drank, and she was very drunk.

If she doesn't open the door now, it's probably not because she doesn't want to open it, but because she hasn't gotten up yet.

Then do we need to make more noise to wake up Mingrui's mother?

But time should not be enough.

"you……"

Chu Mie's expression changed instantly.

"What are you doing at my door?"

A somewhat immature voice sounded behind him.

Chu Mie had goosebumps all over his body, probably because he was too absorbed in thinking just now, and he didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear behind him, and immediately turned to look vigilantly at the source of the voice.

Ming Rui tilted his head, looked at him calmly, and repeated what he said just now:

"What are you doing at my door?"

Chu Mie looked at Ming Rui who was looking up, and said the excuse he had thought up before without changing his face: "My house has a power outage, so see if your house has a power outage."

Ming Rui nodded, took out the key from his schoolbag, and opened the lock with the key in a natural manner. It seemed that this was not the first time he went home like this.

The door was opened a crack.

Chu Mie staggered his steps calmly, trying to observe the situation inside the room through the gap in the door.

Mingrui was about to open the door wide, but he stopped halfway, turning his head to look at him as if aware of it, and said seriously with a small face: "I'm sorry, can I trouble you to wait outside the door?"

"My mum promised me she wouldn't bring anyone else when I was home."

Chu Mie nodded, expressing that he knew about it, but he didn't know why Mingrui brought it up suddenly.

"Similarly—"

Ming Rui showed a little sorry effect: "I will not bring other people in when my mother is at home."

Chu Mie noticed the not-so-obvious embarrassment on Mingrui's face. Although he knew the clue was important, he stopped looking in and took a step back very cooperatively.

"Thank you for understanding."

A faint smile appeared on Ming Rui's immature face.

He entered the porch and left the outside door ajar. When he turned around, he saw his mother lying unconscious on the table.

"It's still there..."

Ming Rui sighed, found a coat from the sofa full of clothes, and gently covered his mother.
