Chapter 560: Special tea (2)
Translator: 549690339
This tea was priceless and extremely precious. It was one of the Thomas family’s famous specialty products.
Thomas presented the ancient black tea to her, indicating that he wanted to reconcile with Madam Ming.
Ming Dongmei’s face brightened up slightly and she said to Gu Chu, ” Chu Chu, try this ancient black tea. It has more than 500 years of tea making history.
Gu Chu nodded her head gently.
Gu Chu was wearing an elegant long dress with complicated patterns today. Her long hair was done into wavy curls, and she had bright eyes and white teeth. She had the temperament of a noble girl.
Her eyes were 70 – 80% similar to Gu manxi’s, and Thomas could not help but look at Gu Chu a few more times.
Gu Chu picked up the teacup and sniffed it. The strong fragrance of the tea was like the morning dew, refreshing one’s mind.
But ...
Gu Chu’s pretty eyebrows raised slightly. This smell ...
She sniffed it again.
Gu Chu had undergone a lot of special training at the base, and one of them was to distinguish different smells. This ancient black tea was a good thing, but Gu Chu could smell a faint, strange smell in it. It was probably something like a heavy metal.
“Miss Gu Chu, why aren’t you drinking?” Thomas saw that Gu Chu had not touched the tea for a long time and was a little confused. is this tea not to your taste? ”
This was Thomas’s favorite tea.
Thomas was old. When he was in his forties, he felt mentally weak. He had to drink two or three cups of black tea every day to refresh his mind and protect his stomach. The elders of the family also drank this tea, which could be considered a tea-drinking tradition of the entire family.
Ming Dongmei had just taken a sip of tea when she saw that Gu Chu’s expression was off. She asked curiously, ” “Chu-Chu, are you not feeling well?”
Gu Chu shook her head.
His brain worked quickly, and he already had a rough guess in his mind.
Gu Chu looked hesitant. She put down her teacup and looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. “Miss Gu Chu, if you have something to say, you can be direct.” Thomas was surprised.
Gu Chu’s beautiful eyes drooped slightly, her slender fingers fidgeting uneasily as she asked in a low voice, ” “Mr. Thomas, if you may, how many people in your family drink this tea? How long have you been drinking?”
this is the tea produced in our family’s tea garden, ” Thomas said. almost all the elders in the family drink it, and they’re not allowed to drink it. I’ve been drinking it since I became an adult.
Gu Chu’s face turned pale. Mr. Thomas, to be honest, my sense of smell is naturally sharper than others. When I smelled the tea just now, I could smell a hint of heavy metal. It’s very light and is covered by the fragrance of the tea, but I can still smell it. ”
Thomas’s expression suddenly changed.
“Chu-Chu, is what you said true?” Ming Dongmei suddenly put down her teacup.
“I’m not too sure, but you can send someone to check it out, Mr. Thomas,” Gu Chu said hesitantly. Long-term consumption of tea that contains heavy metals will lead to memory loss, mental fatigue, insomnia, and waking up at night. It will seriously affect organ damage, and even life-threatening.”
After a pause, Gu Chu continued, ” of course, this is just my guess. Perhaps I’m being overly suspicious. After all, this is the tea produced by Mr. Thomas’s family. There can’t be any problems.”
Gu Chu stopped there.
She knew that Thomas was a suspicious person by nature.
Once the seed of suspicion was planted, he would definitely find the real murderer. In fact, ordinary people would not notice this kind of poisoning method at all, but Gu Chu, who had a keen sense of smell, happened to notice it.
All the members of the Thomas family, except children, drank this tea. Then who was it that wanted to kill all the adults of the Thomas family without a sound?
