Chapter 51 Commonly known as arsenic
"But their whole family is on the minimum living allowance. If you ask them to come to Longhai, how can they afford to stay in a hotel? Shang Lu frowned and asked his question.
Gao Yuan smiled smugly, "What do you think? This family refused to come at first, but they agreed to come only after I promised to provide them with food and lodging. But I see, this family said they had a good relationship with Xie Lingling, but in fact, when they heard that Xie Lingling had died, they didn't want to come at all. When I said they were coming to Longhai to take a look, and I provided them with food and lodging, their attitude changed faster than anything else."
Gao Yuan said it reluctantly, and Li Meng took the opportunity to attack him: "Anyway, you can do what you promised yourself, we don't care about you."
Gao Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You ungrateful bastard, it's a waste of my brother's kindness to you ."
He looked at Gu Nankai again and said seriously, "Don't worry, I have a relative who runs a hotel. I can just tell him and he can make the arrangements. It won't be a big problem."
Seeing that he had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Gu Nankai nodded in appreciation: "Well done."
"Brother Gao Yuan has friends all over the world." Shang Lu said with a smile, "Last time, Sheng Yuandong and the others' problem was also solved with the help of friends ."
Gao Yuan raised his head proudly: "More friends mean more opportunities, but you little girl don't know shit."
Li Meng and Shang Lu snorted at the same time after hearing his shameless words. The rest of the people stared at the two people who disliked each other every day but now had a tacit understanding. Their eyes were full of deep meaning. Shang Lu was the first to react. Her face turned red and she shouted at Li Meng: "Who told you to learn from me! How shameless!"
Li Meng's eyes widened, speechless. He looked at Gu Nankai aggrieved and speechless, and saw that the other had a standard smile on his face and obviously didn't want to say anything. He looked at Gao Yuan again, who looked like and said he deserved it. When he looked at Cao Cang, Cao Cang was taking notes seriously, as if he knew nothing. Wu Qingluan tilted her head and pointed at Shang Lu, making it clear that she was on the side of the female comrades.
Li Meng swallowed deeply. The young man felt a little aggrieved and helpless.
"Okay, Li Meng, tell me about your situation." Gu Nankai held back his smile and looked at Li Meng, changing the subject and returning to the case itself. Li Meng quickly put away his previous emotions. He stood up and reported what he had investigated.
"It's like this. I took the medical record that Cao Cang found to the hospital where the medical record was, and then checked the hospital's medical records. The hospital showed that Xie Lingling had indeed been to the hospital two months ago."
Shang Lu was more interested in this aspect, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong with Xie Lingling?"
Li Meng curled his lips and said, "I checked it out. The doctor said Xie Lingling just had symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort such as vomiting and nausea. She was almost cured after staying in the hospital for a few days, and then she went back. Nothing was found."
"I told you, the hospital can't find anything." Gao Yuan muttered, but Gu Nankai saw that Shang Lu's face became serious at this time. She suddenly slapped the table and said excitedly: "There is a breakthrough!"
Hearing her surprised words, the attention of Gu Nankai and others was drawn to her.
"Tell me, what did you find out?" Gu Nankai tapped the table with his index finger, signaling Shang Lu to express her opinion.
Shang Lu seemed a little excited. She stood up and said, "When I first examined the body, I couldn't find anything because there was no other external injury on the body except for the temple where Xie Lingling hit the ground when she fell. I have also examined the injury on Xie Lingling's temple. The extent of the injury was not enough to cause her death. There was no sign at the scene that she was pushed down by someone. Cao Cang has already done a comparison, right?"
Shang Lu asked Cao Cang, and Cao Cang nodded and said: "Yes, after comparing the current situation at the scene, it can be confirmed that Xie Lingling was not caused by external force to fall. The traces of her fall are more like..." Cao Cang tilted his head, a little hesitant.
"It's more like a sudden stimulation inside her body that caused her to fall, just like when our muscles suddenly ache or our limbs suddenly become uncoordinated." Shang Lu quickly gave an explanation, and Cao Cang immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's about it."
"That's the problem." Shang Lu looked at everyone and said, "Xie Lingling's body didn't have any fatal injuries on the outside, so I tried to find the cause of her death through autopsy, but I didn't find any acute injuries in Xie Lingling's body. In short, I can't find the real cause of Xie Lingling's death."
"How is this possible? How can we not find the cause of a person's death?" Gu Nankai frowned, his expression somewhat solemn.
Shang Lu shrugged, but soon smiled. Seeing her smile, Gu Nankai quickly realized that things had taken a turn for the better. Sure enough, Shang Lu continued, "I have been thinking about this problem until Li Meng just told me about Xie Lingling's medical records in the hospital."
"You mean, Xie Lingling's death is related to her visit to the hospital?" Gao Yuan was surprised at first. He leaned forward and asked Shang Lu.
"Yes, do you remember that Xie Lingling's time of death was very strange? Because through the comparison of livor mortis and rigor mortis, if we want to make the difference between the two times not seem so big, then Xie Lingling's rigor mortis should have occurred immediately after death. And if rigor mortis was to occur immediately after death, then Xie Lingling must have had a fever reaction to behave like this."
After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone in a mysterious manner. Gu Nankai was still pondering her words, but Gao Yuan and Li Meng couldn't wait any longer. They were eager to know the answer. Li Meng urged, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on. What does what you said have to do with the cause of Xie Lingling's death?"
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to explain, Shang Lu said with a chuckle, "Xie Lingling's fever symptoms are most likely due to her gastrointestinal discomfort."
"Hey, you're overthinking it. Xie Lingling's stomach discomfort happened two months ago. How could it have anything to do with her fever?" Gao Yuan shook his head to express his attitude, but Gu Nankai's eyes were deep. He seemed to have thought of some possibility. He looked at Shang Lu and said, "You mean... arsenic trioxide?"
Shang Lu was delighted. She was excited that Gu Nankai could understand what she said. She nodded heavily and said, "Yes! This is it!"
"What is this arsenic trioxide? Can you two explain it to us?" Among the six people present, Shang Lu and Gu Nankai seemed to be the only ones who were talking about it with great interest. The remaining four people listened to the discussion with confusion on their faces. Wu Qingluan spread his arms and looked at the two of them respectively and said.
"Hey, arsenic trioxide is the scientific name. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Shang Lu smiled and explained quickly. She said quickly: "Arsenic trioxide is a type of arsenic, which is what we commonly call arsenic. There are many types of arsenic, such as white arsenic, gray arsenic, metallic arsenic, arsenic oxide, and arsenic hydride. Arsenic trioxide is the most common type. Many of our daily necessities contain arsenic, and even our internal tissues contain trace amounts of arsenic."
After her explanation, everyone understood a lot, but she still didn't explain the connection between this and Xie Lingling's going to the hospital. Gu Nankai knew everyone's confusion, looked at Shang Lu and said, "Just tell everyone what the connection is between this and Xie Lingling's going to the hospital."
