Sense of smell

Chapter 25 Fall 2

Lin Chuan stood outside the interrogation room, and inside was the groom still wearing a tuxedo. Huang Mao sat opposite the groom and kept talking with him.

The groom's name is Li Linqing, and Gao Wen is a colleague. The two met in medical school after passing the national assessment.On the day of the incident, Li Linqing should have been the last person to see Gao Wen, and he also said that he did not see anyone else entering the dressing room.

At this moment, he was sitting in the interrogation room, trembling in the desolate room, his shrunken shoulders were expressing his tension, and his trembling lips could not make complete syllables—his emotions were constantly fluctuating.In the end, the result of the interrogation was only that he had a good relationship with Gao Wen, and that he didn't know who she had entangled with and other insignificant testimony.

"Huangmao, end the interrogation." Lin Chuan said through the headset, Huangmao nodded when he heard that, and asked Li Linqing to be taken for psychological counseling.

"Do you think the deceased is related to Li Linqing?" Lin Chuan asked as they walked towards the conference room.

Huang Mao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "No, it doesn't make sense to kill your own new wife."

"When Gao Wen died, Li Linqing was the only one outside the dressing room, that is to say, he was the only one who knew the truth." Lin Chuan pushed open the door of the meeting room and murmured, "...Is this a blame game?"

Others in the meeting room were already waiting. After Lin Chuan and Huang Mao found a place to sit down, Tang Zhengfeng started the meeting.

"The secondary medical examination report indicated that a deadly poisonous substance was found in Gao Wen's body—" He tapped the holographic screen, and a picture of silver liquid metal appeared on the screen, "Mercury."

Lin Chuan frowned, only to hear Tang Zhengfeng continue to say: "Mercury itself is highly toxic, and it is easy to damage the proteins in living organisms. Mistake of mercury can cause heavy metal poisoning, leading to chronic or acute toxicity. There is only a glass of water at the scene of the crime. It does not contain toxic substances, so it is preliminarily inferred that he died of chronic poisoning."

Lin Chuan asked thoughtfully, "Delayed killing?"

Jiang Yue raised his eyes slightly to look at Lin Chuan.

Tang Zhengfeng didn't confirm it directly. He swiped the screen, and the interface changed again, "A chemical element called selenium was also found in her body, which is generally used in health care products or medicines, and can be taken. 'King of Cancer'."

He paused, and continued: "The most important point is that it has an antagonistic effect on heavy metals."

Antagonism?Lin Chuan frowned and said, "You mean, it can suppress the toxicity of mercury?"

Tang Zhengfeng nodded: "Maybe it is possible. Some animal experiments have shown that when feeding 30ppm of methylmercury in food, if 12.5ppm of selenium is present at the same time, it is possible to inhibit the toxicity of methylmercury. Methylmercury is a highly toxic substance. Therefore, mercury can also be suppressed."

"Suppressed..." Lin Chuan put his hand on his chin, bit his thumbnail lightly and said, "Maybe she took mercury by mistake? Then use selenium to detoxify."

"Impossible." Jiang Yue suddenly said, and decisively denied, "Selenium, which can suppress the toxicity of mercury, also requires a large amount. Excessive selenium is toxic, and it is only possible to suppress the toxicity. Most people will not use mercury by mistake. This method detoxifies."

He looked at the report and conclusion on the screen, and said decisively, his voice was especially clear in the interrogation room: "Whether the cause of the poisoning is selenium or mercury, this is an outright murder."

The meeting room fell silent for a while, Tang Zhengfeng scratched his head anxiously, and said, "Wei Lan, tell me about your clue."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lan turned on her watch and said calmly, "I found an empty medicine box in the side pocket of the deceased's wedding dress."

Jiang Yue pondered for a while, then asked, "Have you checked Gao Wen's medical history?"

Wei Lan nodded, flipped through a few pages of the report, and said: "Yes, the medical records show that she is currently undergoing chemotherapy, but she has no public information about what disease she is suffering from. If you want to know similar privacy, you need to talk to her attending physician. .”

Chemotherapy period... Jiang Yue crossed her hands and pondered for a moment, then said: "Then this medicine box should be the medicine she needs to take during chemotherapy. It may contain selenium. It is best to find out about it from the attending physician."

"Wait," Lin Chuan interrupted suddenly, "If the medicine she takes contains selenium, it shouldn't reach the toxic amount."

Jiang Yue seemed very satisfied with Lin Chuan's doubts, nodded and said, "So, someone must have tampered with the medicine box."

"I do not know."

The man sitting in the interrogation room had a frosty face, and only folded his hands and looked at Huang Mao coldly.His cropped hair, stern, sharp features, and elegant gold-rimmed glasses make him look even more unapproachable.

Huang Mao raised his eyebrows unhappily, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, you are Ms. Gao Wen's attending doctor. Now it is found out that she may die from selenium overdose. It is not a good choice to keep silent at this time."

Chen Sen seemed quite dissatisfied with the police's questioning. He frowned and said coldly: "I am a normal person with a license to practice medicine issued by the state, and the medicines I prescribed to Miss Gao are all normal doses. It shouldn't be on my head."

"Okay." Huang Mao was speechless, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then can you tell me, what's wrong with Ms. Gao Wen?"

"I can't say." Chen Sen folded his hands again, and confronted Huang Mao coldly.

"Damn." Lin Chuan watched in a fit of anger outside the interrogation room, "What's the matter with Chen Sen, refusing to answer is a disguised admission of understanding?"

"I don't think so." Jiang Yue pondered for a moment, then said lightly through the headset: "Huangmao, let me try."

Huang Mao nodded when he heard that, and Jiang Yue pushed the door open and entered.Chen Sen raised his eyes and glanced at the sudden visitor, but didn't express much.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I only have a very simple question here, you just need to answer yes or no." Jiang Yue opened the seat and sat down, smiling politely.

Chen Sen lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded silently.

"As far as I know, Ms. Gao Wen visits you 2-3 times a week for inspection, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yue nodded and continued to ask: "Recheck every other day within a week, isn't it?"

Chen Sen was baffled by this common sense question: "Yes."

Jiang Yue slowly leaned forward, stared at Chen Sen and said, "I read the medical records, and this week, Ms. Gao Wen only went to the hospital once, and the date was the day before yesterday, which means that she should go to the hospital on the day she died. It's rechecked, isn't it?"

Chen Sen frowned and wanted to deny it, "I..."

"At this time, words like 'I don't know' and 'I don't understand' don't count anymore," Jiang Yue's voice gradually became oppressive, "You have promised me before that you will answer yes or no to any question."

Chen Sen gritted his back molars, and the lines of his side face gradually tightened. After a long time, he replied, "Yes."

Jiang Yue suddenly relaxed his posture, leaned back in the chair, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "But she didn't go to the hospital for a review yesterday. It is impossible for someone who is so concerned about her condition to not even have time for a review."

Chen Sen looked at Jiang Yue without saying a word. The man looked very fierce under the light of the interrogation room. He looked at it as if he could see through everything, but he felt suffocated and numb under this serious gaze.

In the end, Jiang Yue looked away and said to Chen Sen: "If you have any impression, or think of the reason why Ms. Gao Wen didn't go for a review that day, please contact the police."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yue stood up, patted Huang Mao on the shoulder, and the two left the interrogation room together.

Chen Sen pursed his lips and stared at the short-haired man with displeasure. When the door of the interrogation room closed again, he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Lin Chuan took the plate from the service robot. There have been a lot of cases recently, and the cafeteria is overcrowded.He looked around in the cafeteria, and then walked towards the familiar figure.

Lin Chuan put down the plate opposite Jiang Yue, and then took a closer look at the person's food—Jiang Yue ordered a three-meat and one-vegetarian set meal, and was enjoying it with relish.

"I thought you didn't like meat..." Lin Chuan frowned as he looked at the dishes on Jiang Yue's plate that were not green.

"I'm not a monk, why don't I like to eat?" Jiang Yue's question to Lin Chuan seemed inexplicable.

"Then why do you buy "Vegetarian Cookbook"?" Lin Chuan picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing and saying.

"Don't you want to eat?" Jiang Yue raised his eyes to see Lin Chuan's indecent eating, then lowered his head and said lightly, "And what you ate today is too greasy."

"It's nothing compared to you." Lin Chuan pointed to his plate of meat and vegetables, "I used to think that the food in the canteen of the General Administration was mediocre, but now it's delicious compared to the food when I was hospitalized."

Jiang Yue's hand holding the chopsticks paused, turning a deaf ear to Lin Chuan's complaint: "It's better to eat less food with high cholesterol."

Lin Chuan casually agreed, and after chewing the meat in his mouth, he asked again: "Do you think Gao Wen's death is related to Chen Sen?"

Jiang Yue had almost eaten, he put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "It's hard to say. First of all, only Chen Sen knows about Gao Wen's illness. If he wants to kill Gao Wen, it shouldn't be so troublesome; second, the mercury in Gao Wen's body is very serious. Strange - if mercury is the cause of death, then someone else may be the murderer, but if selenium is the cause of death, then Chen Sen..."

"It's hard to escape the blame." Lin Chuan answered subconsciously.

"That's right." Jiang Yue nodded, "So we need to figure out what the real cause of Gao Wen's death is, this is the first, and what is the murderer's motive for killing, this is the second."

Lin Chuan listened silently, and slowed down his eating speed. Jiang Yue looked at his thoughtful expression, and teased: "The third is..."

"What is it?"

"Your food is getting cold." Jiang Yue looked at Lin Chuan with a slight smile. Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, took a few mouthfuls, and then quickly lifted the plate to leave.

Jiang Yue looked at Lin Chuan who seemed to be running away, the corners of his mouth were obviously raised.He shook his head slightly, lifted his plate and walked towards him.
