Chapter 8: There is a motive
"Pufferfish? How could it be, this is not our hotel dish. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe are a French hotel that mainly serves French cuisine. The waiter nervously shook his head in denial.
After all, although the puffer fish is delicious, it is highly poisonous. If the police suspect that the deceased was poisoned by eating puffer fish meat, then the hotel will be in big trouble, and her trouble will be even greater.
"Could it be that the professor actually died of poisoning from eating puffer fish?" The boy seemed to suddenly realize something, and said angrily to the waiter, "Your hotel must give us an explanation for this." At the same time, the other two girls seemed to understand what he meant, and they actually glared at the waiter very cooperatively.
Seeing their menacing appearance, the waiter was even more trembling, and even began to stutter a little when he spoke, so he could only keep explaining: "This... It's really not our hotel dish, we..."
However, before the waiter finished speaking, Mu Zihan seemed to be unable to stand it, and interjected: "Actually, when dining in some hotels, although some hotels prohibit bringing their own food, it is inevitable that occasionally there are still people who will secretly bring in the drinks either to save money or feel that the drinks they bring are more reliable, which is actually very common." It's just that if you want to use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility, it is excessive. ”
After seeing the three students begin to show embarrassed expressions, he continued: "Besides, whether the deceased died of puffer fish poisoning or not, you just need to bring the body back to the police station, and it will be clear when you dissect and analyze it." Therefore, there is no need for you to criticize the hotel with such fanfare right now. ”
"Are puffer fish really that scary?" I asked, confused.
Seriously, I've always heard that puffer fish is delicious, and I've heard that puffer fish is highly poisonous, but I'm really curious about what is going on here.
"Fugu is actually not terrible, its toxins are mainly in its blood and internal organs, so as long as it is handled properly, it is indeed a delicious dish." Mu Zihan smiled and said, "However, puffer fish poisoning is terrible. ”
"That's right, puffer fish poisoning is predominantly neurological symptoms. The incubation period is short, and the shortest can even occur within 10-30 minutes. And, once it happens, it comes with ferocity. Fang Ling's mood stabilized a lot, so she helped explain: "At first, it was numbness or tingling in the fingers, lips, and tip of the tongue, followed by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, numbness and weakness in the limbs, swaying of the body, and difficulty walking. In severe cases, the whole body will be paralyzed, there will be speech disorders, dyspnea, blood pressure drops, coma, and most of the deaths due to puffer fish poisoning are due to respiratory failure. If the rescue is not timely, death will occur within 10 minutes at the earliest. ”
"It's so terrible, there are still people to eat." I said with a little palpitation. After all, in my opinion, no matter how delicious it is, it can't be tasted in that life.
"Isn't it strange? Smoking is bad for your health, but there are still many people who smoke cigarettes. Fang Ling said angrily: "It's just that this case, there is no need for autopsy and analysis, and I can say with certainty that the deceased did not die of puffer fish poisoning." ”
"So, now that's the point, shouldn't you explain where this puffer fish came from?" As he spoke, Mu Zihan turned to look at the three medical students and asked, "Or maybe I'm asking more bluntly, who brought the red wine you drank before and this puffer fish?" Sure enough, he found out about the problem with red wine.
"The wine is left over from the luncheon. Because the vintage is very good, and there are more than half a bottle, and the price is also very expensive, it's a pity to throw it away like this, so..."Saying that, the skinny girl took out an empty red wine bottle from the big bag she was carrying and handed it to Mu Zihan: "The puffer fish was ordered at the restaurant where the lunch party was gathered, and the professor said that it was delicious, and I wanted to eat it at night, so we packed it and secretly brought it in with the red wine after we booked it." ”
"In other words, you took advantage of the waiter's time to serve the food, secretly put the puffer fish you brought in on the table, and then drank the remaining red wine from noon first?" I asked.
"No, the red wine we order in the evening is not as good as at noon, so we drink it at night, and we drink the leftover at noon for the professor." The stocky girl replied.
"I see, that is, the wine that the three of you drank and the wine that the deceased drank were not actually the same bottle of wine?" After Mu Zihan took the empty red wine bottle in his hand and weighed it, he turned to Inspector Chu Hengyu and said, "Brother Chu, can you please ask the police officer of the Identification Department to check the ingredients of the wine in this bottle?" I guess that's the problem. Although the sake is gone, I guess I can check the little bit left at the bottom of the bottle. ”
"No problem. Even if there is no residue, the inner wall will be found when analyzed. With that, Chu Hengyu took the wine bottle and walked away to find the police officer of the forensic department.
"Now, then, I'll ask you first. Who of you touched this bottle of wine in the afternoon? Or rather, who is responsible for the safekeeping? Mu Zihan re-focused his gaze on the three nervous medical students and asked with a smile.
"It's... It's me, because only my bag is bigger enough to fit an entire bottle of wine. The girl who had just taken out the empty bottle replied with a squeamish answer, and then immediately wanted to explain: "But, I didn't..."
It's a pity that before she finished speaking, the short and fat girl pointed the finger at her directly: "The professor shouldn't have really killed you, right?" I've heard that the professor seems to have made some excessive demands on you, and besides, your last relationship seems to have been caused by the professor to make you angry. You shouldn't hold a grudge all the time, so kill him. ”
"Don't you talk nonsense? I didn't. Although the professor was strict with me, I knew that he was all for my good, and I was very grateful to him. Besides, when I was singing in the afternoon, I put my bag on the couch, and you were all there, and you all had the opportunity to do something in the wine. The thin girl retorted: "By the way, speaking of which, the professor seems to have asked you to borrow a lot of money, but has been delaying the repayment of the money, could it be that you actually killed him, but wanted to blame me." ”
"Okay, okay, you both don't say a word, and now that things haven't been figured out, don't be suspicious of each other." The boy said in a round game.
However, before he could speak, the stocky girl turned to him and said, "You have it, you are no better." Some time ago, you just bought a new car, and before you had time to show off, you were taken by the professor, and you had to borrow it for two days. As a result, your car crashed into a tree on the side of the road that night, and your car has not been picked up from the 4S store until now. ”
"You don't have much blood, I don't care about that at all, there is an insurance company anyway." The boy flatly denied it. However, looking at his expression, it is obvious that he is not really that indifferent.
However, in this way, we were in a dilemma again, and we really didn't expect that these three medical students all had a motive to kill the dead.
