Chapter 46: The Chen Family Banquet (Part II)

At the Chen family's family banquet, all men, women, and children all stepped forward to investigate the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground.

Huang Renxuan was still hesitating in his seat at this time, but Duan Qingwei had already walked to the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground and died, Duan Qingwei paused slightly, and then squatted down, he leaned closer to check on the middle-aged man, Duan Qingwei muttered solemnly: "There is a faint smell of almonds on this person...... It seems that this man was poisoned to death......"

The people present looked at each other, they couldn't believe that someone had poisoned, and they looked at the people around them, especially afraid that the person next to them would be the murderer who poisoned.

"Who was sitting next to this man just now? Were the man's family members present? Duan Qingwei asked.

Then an old man stood up and said, "I'm sitting next to him, he's here alone today." ”

"Did you just sit next to him and notice anything unusual about him?" Duan Qingwei asked again.

The old man asked Duan Qingwei suspiciously, "Young man...... Why are you so careful, you ask? Aren't these all left to the police? ”

Duan Qingwei stood up, cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really a policeman." After Duan Qingwei finished speaking, he called the people in the bureau and asked them to come to the scene immediately.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

When the old man heard Duan Qingwei say that he was a policeman, he was slightly silent, and after a few seconds, he said with an ugly face: "He just ...... Before he died, he took out a pill box from his bag and took a pill...... And then there's what you're seeing......"

After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

Duan Qingwei rummaged through the bag that the man was carrying, and sure enough, he found a box of pills from the bag, Duan Qingwei carefully took the handkerchief paper and rolled the pill box, observing how many pills were left in the pill box.

"Do you know what pill he was taking?" Duan Qingwei asked.

"I know, I saw him take one of these pills before eating, and I asked him about it, and he said it was an antihangover, and he said that taking one of these hangover pills before drinking would not harm the body......," the old man replied.

Duan Qingwei fell into deep thought, if the deceased really did not die by accident, then the person who carried out the poisoning must have quite well understood the habits of the deceased during his lifetime.

Duan Qingwei found Chen Manlin at this time and asked, "Uncle Chen, how much do you know about the deceased?" ”

Chen Manlin was in a very depressed mood at this time, and his face was also gloomy, in his opinion, the originally good family banquet was about to become a memorial service.

"He's a distant relative of mine, his name is Chen Jing, he just returned to China last month, and he's here alone this time...... Not long after he died, his wife died, and now it's his turn to go this way...... Ay...... Iniquity......"

Duan Qingwei looked at the deceased again, and then lowered his head and pondered the case this time.

Soon, Team Zhang and his group arrived at the scene.

After setting up a cordon around the deceased, the forensic doctor Zhou Bin conducted a preliminary identification of the deceased and confirmed that the deceased died of poisoning, and at the same time, Zhou Bin carefully put the medicine box carried by the deceased into the physical evidence bag, and said: "What exactly is the pill in this medicine box, you have to go back and hand it over to the laboratory department for examination." ”

Team Zhang asked Duan Qingwei at this time: "Xiao Duan, what is the situation now?" ”

"I just learned that the deceased's name was Chen Jing, 38 years old, who had been living in Australia before, and he had a foreign wife, but his foreign wife passed away last month......"

"Oh? Is his wife dead? ”

"Yes." Duan Qingwei nodded.

"But...... How so...... I don't think it's just poisoning...... "Duan Qingwei said.

Team Zhang raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Is it? What do you think? Team Zhang motioned for Duan Qingwei to continue.

"Knowing that the deceased would take hangover medicine before drinking, he must have been a person who knew the deceased's living habits quite well, and had a very close relationship with the deceased to have the opportunity to get the deceased's medicine box and successfully poison it."

"Did everyone present know the deceased? Did any other family members of the deceased come? ”

Chen Manlin opened his mouth at this time and said: "Officer, Chen Jing has been staying abroad before, he came here alone today, and the people present at this family banquet today, if you say that you are slightly familiar with him, it is estimated that it is only me......

Chen Xinyi walked up and complained to Chen Manlin: "Dad, don't you make the police suspect you when you say these things?" ”

Chen Manlin just smiled lightly and said: "I'm just telling the truth to the police, the clear person is self-clearing, I don't have any reason to kill Chen Jing at all, I believe the police will investigate clearly." ”

Chen Xinyi muttered dissatisfiedly again: "Dad...... You're ......."

Chen Manlin smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Duan Qingwei opened his mouth at this time and said to Team Zhang: "During the meal, Uncle Chen was not at Chen Jing's table, and the people at the table with Chen Jing all said that Chen Jing took out the medicine box by himself, and none of them had any contact with Chen Jing, let alone knew that he had this habit. If you say that the person who is very close to Chen Jing, and knows that Chen Jing will take hangover medicine before the wine party, it should be his wife, but his wife also passed away not long ago...... What's going on? ”

Duan Qingwei suddenly thought of something, turned to Chen Manlin and asked, "Uncle Chen, do you know how Chen Jing's wife died?" ”

Chen Manlin thought for a moment and said, "...... I only vaguely heard that his wife died in a car accident, and when the car accident occurred, Chen Jing was only slightly injured, while his wife died on the spot in the car accident. ”

"Oh...... Understood......" Duan Qingwei replied thoughtfully.

After dealing with the scene, Team Zhang said to the other police officers: "Let's take the team back first, wait for the results of the laboratory department, and see what pills are in Chen Jing's medicine box and whether there are any fingerprints of other people." ”

Team Zhang walked up to Duan Qingwei at this time and whispered to him: "Xiao Duan, you go down privately to investigate Chen Jing's situation in Australia, and if necessary, we will also get in touch with the police in Australia to verify the death of Chen Jing's wife." ”

Duan Qingwei said "um", and then he walked up to Huang Renxuan and said to her, "I'll go back first." Remember ...... when you get home."

Without waiting for Duan Qingwei to finish speaking, Huang Renxuan immediately interrupted Duan Qingwei's words and said, "Remember to tell you when I go back, right?" ”

Duan Qing bowed slightly, smiled, and said, "It's good that you know." ”

"Then you go to work." Huang Renxuan responded with a smile.

However, Duan Qingwei turned a blind eye to his father Duan Deqiang, and after Duan Qingwei left the family banquet, he didn't even say hello, so angry that Duan Deqiang complained in his heart that his son was unproductive, and he only had women and work in his eyes, and he didn't take his father to heart at all.

After Duan Qingwei and other criminal police colleagues left the Chen family's old house, the rest of the people present hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Manlin.

After all, there has just been a murder, and it is no longer because of the family banquet to get together, although the old house of the Chen family has gone through the years, but now it has encountered a sudden murder, which has made everyone tremble in their hearts and shudder at this old mansion, so the people present left the table one after another and broke up unhappily.

A few days later, when the people of the Chen family thought that the case of Chen Jing's death was over, the police in Linnan City contacted the police in Australia and verified the relationship between Chen Jing and his wife, and even the Australian police revealed some things to the police in Linnan City, and the truth of the poisoning case was finally revealed.

Chen Jing and his wife Lilian live in Canberra, Australia, Chen Jing lives a dissolute life in private, almost all the money he earns is used for gambling and fun, and when the money is not enough, he reaches out and asks his wife Lilian for money, and over time, he has the idea of Lilian's high insurance. In order to kill his wife and defraud the high insurance money, Chen Jing formulated a terrible plan.

First of all, in order to make it look like his wife died accidentally, Chen Jing decided to kill his wife by causing a car accident. He thought that a road trip would be the best choice for Australia, which is vast and sparsely populated.

When everything was ready, Chen Jing took advantage of the vacation to invite his wife to go on a driving trip with him.

Chen Jing chose to travel by car on the Northern Cross Road, from Cairns in northern Queensland in the east to Bloom, a pearling historical town in Kimberley, Western Australia. Australia's roads are mostly flat and wide, but the route through northern Australia, which encompasses diverse ecosystems and is accompanied by extreme climatic conditions, makes it a perfect place for Chen Jing to cause a car accident for his wife.

One night, Chen Jing called the police in Australia and told the police in Australia that he and his wife had been in a car accident, the car had skidded and hit a boulder on the side of the road, and he had suffered minor injuries, and his wife was no longer awake.

Later, when paramedics and police arrived, Chen Jing's wife was dead.

But for the death of Chen Jing's wife Lilian, Lilian's sister has always believed that Chen Jing killed Lilian.

However, the insurance company in Australia was also suspicious of Chen Jing, and Chen Jing simply returned to China to hide for a period of time in order to avoid suspicion.

After the police in Linnan City heard the reply of the Australian police, they were wondering about the cause of Chen Jing's death, and the next revelation of the Australian police made everyone sigh.

A few days ago, when Lilian's sister was sorting through her sister's belongings, she stumbled upon a confession in an old wooden box in the attic of her sister's house.

The contents of the confession are as follows: "Chen Jing, an ungrateful man, is a burden to my life. I want to kill him, he doesn't deserve to be alive in this world. At the same time, I also found out that Chen Jing also wanted to kill me. So, just in case, before he kills me, then I'll kill him first. So I thought of poisoning. Chen Jing is an alcoholic all day long, and I used to really care about Chen Jing, and it would be good for him to take a hangover medicine before drinking, but he would never remember my concern every time. So, I decided to poison the hangover medicine I prepared for him today, if one day, he can remember my concern, he will definitely take the hangover medicine I prepared for him before drinking, but when he takes it, it is too late......"

So, who is the real culprit in this poisoning case, everyone knows it.

It's really embarrassing.

Sure enough, it is a cycle of cause and effect, and if there is no cause of the day, how can there be today's effect.
