Chapter 42. Jail (Ask for Reviews, Ask for Reviews, Ask for Reviews!) )

I looked in the direction of the cell boss and saw only one prisoner in the cell.

The cell boss opened the door and said to me, "Then the humble duty will not disturb the adults to see the sick." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

I wondered in my heart: Didn't you say that you were going to commit it? The cell boss doesn't keep an eye on it, so he's not afraid that I'll do it secretly?

Although he was puzzled, he still walked towards the prisoner. The prisoner was very thin, dressed in a gray prison uniform, lying on his back, his eyes fixed on the roof, and he ignored me as if there was no such person as me. He ignored me, but I couldn't ignore him.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked bluntly. When he heard this, he cast his gaze on my face, and his eyes were gray and lifeless.

On the way here, I heard the official say that the prisoner's name was Jian Qi, who was originally a subordinate of Leng Yihan, the father of the original owner, and participated in Leng Yihan's treason case two years ago. Because of the gravity of the case, all the other people involved in the case were put to death, but he was the only one who provided a lot of evidence to avoid death, but he never saw the world outside the prison again for the rest of his life.

Jian Qi still didn't answer, and I had no choice but to take his pulse. After checking the pulse, I finally knew why the cell boss had sent me here, so I hurriedly retreated, because the prisoner was suffering from tuberculosis, which was very contagious.

I quietly took out a handkerchief to cover my mouth and nose. Jian Qi glanced at me, sat up, and finally spoke, his voice was extremely weak, but it was sneering: "The doctor is still sick?" ”

When I heard this, I was not angry in my heart: Why can't a doctor hide his illness? Healers are human beings, too! You can get sick too! Besides, if even the doctor is sick, who will take care of the patient!?

Jian Qi suddenly coughed violently. I stepped forward to pat him on the back, but I saw that his hand was already a little scarlet, and I thought to myself: it seemed that he was very sick.

The prisoner coughed more and more violently, and he was a little out of breath. I hurriedly opened the medicine box, picked up a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to him. He hurriedly took it, swallowed it, and for a moment his cough eased. Xu is cough was too violent, and Jian Qi was lying on his back with some loss of strength.

The cell boss's voice sounded at the right time: "My lord, how is your illness?" ”

"I'm done." I said. "Please also borrow a pen and paper to use and make a prescription."

The cell boss answered, and led me to the tea room of the prison, where I gave the cell head a prescription and told me in detail how to decoction.

"There is Lord Lao, adults go slowly." The cell boss took me to the door of the cell.

I saluted and said goodbye, and was about to take a step, but I heard a shout behind me: "Stop! Detain that medical officer for me! ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and when I came back to my senses, my arms had been grabbed and I couldn't break free. The cell boss was also a little puzzled.

The sound of footsteps behind him came from far and near, and soon circled in front of us. I saw that the person in front of me was wearing a red official uniform, wearing a black veil, and was about 30 years old. He stepped forward, stared at me and said, "That's the illness you gave Jian Qi to see?" ”

"Exactly." Could it be that something happened to Jian Qi? I muttered to myself, but I was quite calm.

The officer snorted coldly and said to the jailer who had captured me, "Take me to prison!" "After that, the two jailers are going to drag me back. I couldn't calm down anymore, and said hurriedly: "I don't know what the courtier's crime is? ”

As I spoke, the two jailers also stopped and looked at the red-clad officer.

The officer walked around to me again. "What crime? You poison the court criminals! ”

My eyes widened, poisoned?!

"Jian Qi died of anger not long after taking the medicine you gave, wasn't it you!?" The officer snapped at a loud voice.

My head buzzed with his roar, but I still forced myself to say, "What evidence do you have that I did?" ”

The official sneered. "Evidence? Well, if you want proof, I'll give you proof. Someone, search! ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, another jailer stepped forward and touched me all over me, ignoring the difference between men and women. I was so angry that I clenched my teeth, but suddenly I heard a voice: "Found it!" ”

The jailer who searched me was holding a strip of gray cloth that looked like it had been torn from his prison uniform. The strip of cloth had a dark red color on it, as if something was written in blood. The jailer respectfully handed the strip of cloth to the red-clad officer. "Lord Yuan, please take a look."

Lord Yuan? It turned out that this red-clothed official was Yuan Zaidao, the secretary of the Criminal Department. But how did the strip of cloth come out of me? Not to mention that I don't have such a thing on me at all, even if the strip of cloth really came from me, it is impossible for me not to feel it when it is searched.

I couldn't help but squint my eyes and look at the jailer with the strip of cloth, and I felt that there was something wrong with it. The strip of cloth must have been found not from me, but by the jailer beforehand, pretending to have been found from me! If this is the case, then the content of the strip must be extraordinary, but what does this have to do with Jian Qi's death?

Yuan Zaidao took the strip of cloth, his eyes swept over the blood words on the strip, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and then glanced at me again. "Imprisoned!"

I had no choice but to be put in the prison of the Criminal Department.

It's ridiculous that one moment ago I was still a doctor who came to see a doctor, but now I am a prisoner.

I was pushed into a cell, and the jailer didn't say a word, locked it and turned around and left.

I felt like I had a big rock pressed in my heart, and I always felt that today's events were not simple, and someone must be trying to frame me. But who could it be? I'm a fourth-grade medical officer, who can hinder me?

Just as I was puzzled, the cell door opened again. I was again grabbed by the jailers and escorted out of my cell. After a few turns, I was escorted to another cell. However, this room is different from ordinary cells, with tables, chairs and benches. Yuan Zaidao was sitting on a wooden chair and staring at me. Seeing this, I realized: this should be an interrogation room.

I was forced to my knees by the jailers, but I wasn't afraid, but I wanted to see what was going on.

"Kneeling and people?" Yuan Zaidao asked in a cold voice, and his voice was still a little intimidating.

Scold! This is the beginning of the trial? I'd like to see what you can say. So he asked me to answer. At first, I was asked about my basic situation, and it went smoothly. And then let's get to the point:

"Who instructed you to poison Jian Qi?" This Yuan Zaidao doesn't go around in circles.

"I didn't kill him." I said calmly.

"Didn't kill?" Yuan Zaidao snorted coldly. "This official has sent someone to check, and in your medicine box, the porcelain bottle that should have contained the Qingli Pill is filled with Seven Steps!"

My eyes narrowed slightly. Sure enough, someone used his hands and feet to change the medicine to poison.

I have two medicine boxes, one is my own one, which is usually placed in the Ling Mansion, and it was the medicine box that Xiao Jifeng brought with me when he took me to the clinic last night. There is also a medicine box distributed by the Tai Hospital, and all medical officers above the fifth grade are given one, and the items and medicines in it are also fixed. And I usually leave this official dispensing box at the hospital. But because medicine is related to the safety of patients, the first thing I do when I go to Tai Hospital every day is to check whether there are any wrong medicines in the medicine box.

Yesterday, I went to the clinic in the middle of the night with my own medicine box, and went back to Tai Hospital directly after the end, so I actually have two medicine boxes available today. However, because it consumed a lot of materials to treat the woman last night, I hesitated before coming to the Criminal Department this morning, but still took the medicine box issued by the government. He also complained that I was sleepy and hungry this morning, and that the official was in a hurry, and I forgot to check it, so I took it to the doctor. I don't want to give others an opportunity to take advantage of this negligence.

"What do you have to say about that?" Yuan Zaidao asked.

"Someone must have taken advantage of my unpreparedness and changed the medicine to poison." I said calmly.

"Do you have any evidence?"

I thought for a moment and continued to speak: "The people in the criminal department are in a hurry this morning, and I don't know what kind of disease the patient is suffering from before I see him, and naturally I don't know what medicine will be used. But my lord, you think that I deliberately replaced the Seorimaru with a seven-step down, and that alone doesn't make sense. I paused and continued: "The person who changed the medicine must have known in advance that Jian Qi was suffering from tuberculosis, so he deliberately replaced the Qingli pill, which has a miraculous cough suppressant, with poison. And that person not only knew that Jian Qi was suffering from tuberculosis, but also knew that he was already quite ill, and his cough was extremely frequent. At this point, the cough can be extremely painful, not only burning the lungs, but also causing breathing to be life-threatening. And the Qingli Pill developed by the Imperial Physician is a special treatment for this disease. It is precisely because of this that the person who changed the medicine chose to replace the Qingli pill. So as long as the adults thoroughly investigate who knows the disease that Jian Qi suffers from, and understands the pharmacology, they can find out who is behind the scenes. ”

"Nonsense!" Yuan Zaidao reprimanded: "If it is really according to what you say, how can the person who changed the medicine be ten percent sure that you will make Jian Qi take the Qingli pill?" If he wants to kill people and kill his mouth, why can't he think of a more reliable way, such as putting poison in the decoction he wants to drink? Besides, you said that you didn't know what illness Jian Qi was suffering from in advance, how did the official know that you weren't lying!? ”

I didn't have a clue about what happened today, but after listening to Yuan Zaidao's words just now, my mind suddenly became clear.

"Not bad!" I raised my voice. Yuan Zaidao cast a suspicious look at me. I continued, "Your Excellency is right! There is obviously a more reliable and less risky way to kill Jian Qi, but why did the murderer choose to change the dressing? ”

Hearing this, not only Yuan Zaidao, but even the faces of several jailers present also showed doubts. I feel relieved: yes, yes, although my brain is stupid, but it can follow my train of thought, which means that it is still good!

I whetted everyone's appetite and said: "If the murderer changes his method, such as as Lord Yuan said, he puts poison in the decoction he wants to drink, this method is indeed more reliable than changing the medicine, but the murderer didn't do it, why?" ”

"Why?" One of the jailers asked stupidly, and then the back of the head was slapped by another jailer next to him. He suddenly groaned and stopped talking.

I couldn't help but laugh and continued, "Because this method is too reliable. As far as I know, the decoction sent to the prison of the Criminal Department will pass through many hands and involve many parties along the way. When the time comes, Jian Qi will die, and it will be really difficult to find the murderer. And with the method of changing dressings, the murderer is much easier to find. The most suspicious person is me, the medical officer who handed him the medicine with his own hands. Therefore, the real purpose of the murderer is not Jian Qi, but me. It doesn't really matter if Jian Qi dies or not, the important thing is that I get into trouble. ”

"Nonsense! You little medical officer, who would take someone's life to deal with you!? According to the official, you are a doctor, but you have a vicious heart and harm people's lives. The East Window incident is still denied here, trying to disturb the audio-visual, it is simply an unforgivable crime! ”

Yuan Zaidao is right, who would go to such great lengths to deal with me, a medical officer who does not participate in court battles? I'm afraid that the person behind this incident really wants to deal with me not me, but ......

"Lord Yuan! Found it! At this moment, a criminal official rushed into the interrogation room, knelt down in front of Yuan Zaidao, held a tray with both hands, and held it forward.
