Chapter 479: Chronic Arsenic Poisoning

"My lord, or black?" Ge Tong was also a little uneasy at this time, and the autopsy revealed a poisoning murder case.

This Bai Xinyuan died of illness, and this is a death certificate that is being issued in the market.

He originally believed what Meng Yan said, this was just a formality, so that Bai Suxin could get rid of this heart disease.

Who knew if it was actually detected?

Of course, even if the body is poisonous, it does not mean that the person is poisoned, of course, this probability is very small.

"Probe again, Gu Dao!" Meng Yan ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Ge Tong agreed, cleaned the silver needle with soaphorn water again, and then stabbed it at the position of the Gu Dao of the bones.

After about half a minute, Ge Tong took the silver needle.

A black ring appears at the tip of the needle.

"My lord, it's still black!" This time, Ge Tong had already exclaimed.

Meng Yan was silent, this result could have been predicted a long time ago, Bai Xinyuan's death really made Bai Suxin suspicious.

He most likely died of murder!

Meng Yan regretted a little that he didn't bring Shen Cong over, otherwise there were many things that he didn't need to do with his own hands.

"Ge Tong, you come to do a routine examination of the corpse, and the official will take a liquid sample." Meng Yan thought for a moment and quickly ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

"Liu Quan, you assist your master, Ge Ying, to catch two rats for this official, can you do it?" Meng Yan Road.

"Yes!" Ge Ying thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, let's get to work, we have a lot of work to do today, and we have to finish it before dark." Meng Yan said heavily.

Meng Yan took a tube of liquid in the stomach of Bai Xinyuan's corpse, which was to do poison analysis and identification.

This cannot be based on experience and speculation alone, if all of them can solve the case based on experience. How can there be so many wrongful convictions in this world?

Over there, Ge Tong also began to autopsy the corpse, looking for possible wounds on the bones, and if he died of poisoning, the bones would also change.

Usually such decomposing corpses are searched for wounds on the bones or for the identification of poisons. The method of boiling bones is used.

The cauldron was set up in the courtyard, water was added to it, and soon it was bubbling and bubbling, and then Bai Xinyuan's bones were put in, some rice vinegar was added, and it began to be steamed, at least for more than an hour.

In this era, there were no high-tech instruments, that is, some jars and jars, and Meng Yan himself was not a full-time forensic doctor. So he's kind of a wild guy in forensics.

Separating, purifying, separating, purifying......

Eventually, the foul-smelling liquid in that large tube turned into less than five milliliters of yellowish liquid.

There is no longer such a strong stench.

For poison to poison a person, it needs a certain concentration, so the liquid containing the poison must be purified and concentrated.

But. Meng Yan estimated that the five milliliters of liquid in his hand. At most, that's the amount of poisoning a mouse.

If there is poison in it.

Meng Yan couldn't say for sure that it was highly toxic, after all, there was more than arsenic in sulfur and sulfide.

"My lord, the rat has been caught." Ge Ying excitedly ran in with a straw cage.

"Bring it in."

"Ge Ying, come, let the rats out."

"Your Excellency. When it was released, it ran away, this little thing is a thief, and it took me a long time to lure it out. Ge Ying said.

"It's fine. It can't run, you let it go! Meng Yan smiled slightly.

"Can't really run?" Ge Ying was a little suspicious.

"Little rabbit, adults say they can't run, then they definitely can't run, what are you inking, don't do what adults say." Ge Tong walked over and tapped his son on the back of the head.

Ge Ying screamed in pain.

"Ge Tong, you go and do your business, I don't need you here." Meng Yan glared.

"Yes, yes, my lord, you are busy, you are busy......" Ge Tong said, and when Meng Yan turned around, he still glared at his son fiercely.

The rats were released.

This guy is indeed a thief, he can survive in such a harsh environment as Yizhuang, and he is still raised so fat and fat, can he not be a thief?

"Brother Xiaochao, bring a chicken leg."

Guo Xiaochao nodded and took a chicken leg over.

Meng Yan took it, took a knife and cut a small piece of meat, and threw the rest at Ge Ying: "Xiaoyingzi, reward you with a chicken leg to eat." ”

Ge Ying happily took it: "My lord, reward me?" ”

"Yes, I will reward you, eat it." Meng Yan smiled, although this Ge Ying is a half-grown child, he is still a child.

"Hey!" Ge Ying happily ran to the side with the chicken leg and nibbled on it.

Meng Yan cut the chicken into small cubes and sprinkled the five milliliters of liquid on top of the chicken.

The aroma of chicken is a fatal temptation for mice.

Although this mouse looks a bit of a thief and is not easy to lure, it does not have human intelligence, and if a mouse can't deal with it, it is better to buy a piece of tofu and kill it.

Meng Yan had enough patience, and after opening the cage, this guy didn't jump out immediately, but after turning around inside a few times, he slowly crawled out.

This guy is really a thief, it is estimated that he has grown wise.

However, as soon as the aroma of the chicken spread, this guy's eyes rolled slightly, and Meng Yan deliberately put the chicken behind this guy, so that this guy didn't think that someone was tempting him.

But what if this temptation comes from behind?

Sure enough, as Meng Yan expected, this guy finally found that the temptation came from the chicken grains that exuded an attractive fragrance on the table not far behind him.

Finally, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the smell of chicken, and this guy slowly crawled all the way, and kept turning his head to look at it vigilantly.

After discovering that there was indeed no danger, it came to the meat cube.

The guy stretched out his claws, grabbed a piece and brought it to his mouth, ate it, and found that it was all right, revealing a hint of cunning, pounced on it, and feasted on it.

This guy is really a thief. However, no matter how thief the rat is still not as smart as humans, the meat particles on the side are not contaminated with liquid, only the inside is.

After a while, this guy ate a belly round.

However, it didn't take long for the guy to twitch on all fours. Foaming at the mouth, he eventually died just after a cup of tea.

Because he did not have instruments, Meng Yan could only infer the amount of arsenic in Bai Xinyuan's corpse based on the lethal amount of arsenic in mice.

It was concluded that the amount of arsenic in Bai Xinyuan's body was between three and eight times the lethal amount of arsenic from more than one dose.

According to this calculation, Bai Xinyuan is very likely to be poisoned, and the method of poisoning him is not to make him eat lethal arsenic in one go, if it is a process of gradual accumulation.

That is, give only a little at a time. Then it increases so that the poison accumulates in the body, reaches the amount of seizures, and then kills.

However, this method of poisoning must have the person who poisoned the poison to be proficient in the pharmacology of the poison, and the amount of poison must be just right each time, so that no one will notice.

Generally, poisoning and killing people are all one-time because they are repeated many times. It is easy to be noticed, and the risk of exposure is very high.

Repeat poisoning. It looks like you're dying of disease, and that's a lot of skill.

But if it is arsenic poisoning, it is very easy to identify, and a little bit of experience can detect it.

Of course, this does not rule out that Bai Suxin did not think of this at that time, and did not ask for an autopsy at all.

Whose family will ask for an autopsy when someone dies?

As long as it is determined that it is a natural death. That is equivalent to saying that it is a final conclusion to cover the coffin, not to mention this kind of thing, not to mention this era, and it will not be the same in future generations, the people will not raise officials and not be held accountable.

"My lord, I have carefully examined the bones of the old man Bai. No special injuries were found, except that he had less hair than normal people. ”

"Hair out?"

"It should be." Ge Tong nodded.

"One of the symptoms of chronic arsenic poisoning is hair loss, could it be that someone really poisoned it?" Meng Yan chuckled in his heart.

"Dad, my daughter is not filial......" Bai Suxin has slowly woken up under the treatment of Wen Xiaoyu and others, but she is still haunted by the result that her father was poisoned, and she is sad from her heart.

"Miss Suxin is awake?" Hearing the cry coming from next door, Meng Yan was surprised.

"Seems to be."

"Ge Tong, you continue to inspect, everything that should be checked has been checked, and I will look at the corpse when I go back." Meng Yan instructed, "This official went to take a look at Miss Suxin, and there are some things to ask." ”

"Your Excellency, please."

"Miss Suxin is awake!"

"My lord is here!" Wen Xiaoyu saw Meng Yan come in and stood up.

Bai Suxin stopped her tears and shed tears in front of outsiders, which is always an embarrassing thing, not to mention that after crying, she also feels much better.

"Miss Suxin, according to the preliminary examination of this official and Ge Forensic Medical Officer, your father, Mr. Bai Xinyuan, is likely to die of poisoning, but it is difficult to say whether he killed him or not." Meng Yan walked up to Bai Suxin and said slowly.

"Why, since it was found out that my father was poisoned, why can't we be sure that he was murdered?" Bai Suxin asked with red eyes and incomprehension.

"Miss Suxin, death from poisoning does not necessarily mean that you were murdered, you can also take poison yourself, of course, based on the situation of Old Man Bai Xinyuan, it is very likely that he will be killed." Meng Yan explained.

"My lord, Su Xin understands, my lord's rigorous attitude is really admirable!" Bai Suxin was a smart woman after all, and she soon understood why Meng Yan had to say that his father was only poisoned and died, but he refused to say that it was murder.

"Miss Suxin is polite, the official still has some details to ask, perhaps, after the official asks, the cause of Old Man Bai's death can be solved." Meng Yan asked very seriously.

"Even if you ask, Su Xin must know everything and say everything." Bai Suxin nodded, it was about the cause of her father's death, of course she had to be cautious.

"Okay, this is not an investigation, the official asked, Miss Suxin listened, from today onwards, let's not mention anything again." Meng Yan Road.

"Su Xin said a long time ago that I just want to know one result, and I don't want anything else." Bai Suxin nodded solemnly. (To be continued......)
