Ning Shuyi looked at the time in the corner of the computer monitor in front of him.

They had dinner a little early today......

After a while, Huo Yan came back with two packed dinners.

"Why has it been so long? How are the people in the store?" Ning Shuyi took the lunch box from his hand and asked casually.

"Well, there's a lot of people." Huo Yan replied quickly, and his tone was unusually firm.

At this time, it was not the peak time of dinner at all, but Ning Shuyi glanced at the suspicious red color of Huo Yan's earlobe, and did not pierce this point.

Anyway, I didn't eat lunch at noon, and I didn't feel it when I was busy, but now that the food was in front of me, the hunger pangs immediately appeared, and there was nothing wrong with eating dinner early.

The two of them quickly finished eating, and as soon as they finished eating, news came from Forensic Doctor Zhang, who had an update on the cause of Hong Xinli's death, or the process of being killed.

The two of them hurriedly went to ask Forensic Doctor Zhang, who had just completed the autopsy and was sitting in the office at this time, resting while taking advantage of this time to eat a bowl of instant noodles.

"Coming? Have you eaten or not?" Forensic Doctor Zhang saw the two of them coming, greeted them, and motioned for the two to sit down.

"I've eaten it." Ning Shuyi nodded hurriedly, "Forensic Doctor Zhang, don't worry, you can finish the meal first!"

Forensic Doctor Zhang was not polite to them, and ate the rest of the noodles in two bites, not even the noodle soup left, and drank it all.

This ability to go back to the office and eat a bucket of instant noodles as soon as you turn your head just after the autopsy is honed over time in front-line work.

At the beginning, whether it was a new forensic doctor or a rookie criminal policeman, it was inevitable that there would be various degrees of physical discomfort after seeing the dead body, some vomited in the dark, some of them had some associations that they couldn't help themselves when they saw food, and some of them twitched in their stomachs.

But the appearance is naturally unbearable, so as time goes by, it will slowly become numb to the training, no matter how tragic the scene is, it will not affect the appetite at all.

After eating the bowl of instant noodles, Dr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said to them, "After completing the formalities and conducting further examinations on Hong Xinli, we found residual tetrodotoxin in her stomach contents."

"Fugu?" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised, "Hong Xinli died and ate pufferfish?"

The city is not a place with a history of eating puffer fish, to be exact, most of the restaurants in the city do not have this somewhat dangerous flavor dish.

Not to mention selling, even if someone brings one to the restaurant to process it on their behalf, I am afraid that these hotel chefs will not dare to take orders because they have no experience in this area, for fear that they will get into trouble if they don't do it well.

Ning's father has been in the catering industry for most of his life, and became an executive chef before retirement.

"If you really ate puffer fish, there is nothing to say," Forensic Doctor Zhang spread his hands, "The problem is that there are indeed food residues in her stomach contents that have time to be digested, and it is not particularly difficult to distinguish.

It's just that it doesn't include undigested puffer fish meat."

As soon as he said this, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan understood everything at once.

"Can the concentration be lethal?" Huo Yan asked.

"Let's put it this way, it won't kill you immediately, but if you don't rush to the hospital, it won't last a few hours." Forensic doctor Zhang replied.

Ning Shuyi frowned slightly: "Obviously, if you wait for a few hours, Hong Xinli will die because she can't get timely treatment, but the murderer just wants to put a fork on her neck and let her die of excessive blood loss?"

"yes, the time to die from excessive blood loss is relatively short, and it is obviously safer than waiting for hours." Forensic Doctor Zhang had obviously considered this question, "and lay there quietly waiting to die, with his eyes open

Watching his own blood flow out, the degree of mental torture brought to the deceased also varies greatly.

Judging by Hong Xinli's intake, we agree that when she was punctured into the jugular vein, she should be in a state of general paralysis, but her mind is completely clear.

In other words, she watched herself bleed and then die."

Ning Shuyi listened to Dr. Zhang's introduction and felt that goosebumps were rising all over his body.

It is no wonder that the deceased should have felt the pain of hypothermia when he lost too much blood, but there was no trace of struggle.

It's not that she doesn't want to struggle, but she can't move at all, but her brain is still unusually clear......

"Being able to let Hong Xinli eat, or staying at home in pajamas, it is obvious that the murderer is a person who can gain Hong Xinli's trust, and there is no defense at all.

However, after succeeding, he had to stab the jugular vein with a fork very much, and the murderer not only had to ensure that Hong Xinli had absolutely no chance of being saved, but even increased the mental torture she endured before her death as much as possible......

This person really hates Hong Xinli!" She sighed.

"yes!" Forensic Doctor Zhang sighed, and moved his shoulders and arms a little by the way, "There are basically no more difficult questions on our side that need to be answered.

There is no doubt about the time of death, judging from the degree of stiffness and internal temperature of the deceased, it should have been about an hour before we received the report, and the cause of death and the reason why there was no struggle before death are now clear.

The deceased had had a relationship with someone before his death, but because protective measures were taken, no evidence of the other party's bodily fluids could be extracted, and no related products were found at the scene of the crime, so they should have been taken away.

You're going to have to work hard!"

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan returned to the office with this answer that none of them had expected beforehand, and both of them were thoughtful.

As soon as he entered the office, Huo Yan's mobile phone rang.

Because of his special background, he has almost no contacts outside of work, and as soon as the phone rang, he immediately realized that it must be something related to the case at hand, and quickly took out his mobile phone and picked up the call from the unfamiliar number.

"Hey, is that Officer Huo?" The anxious voice of Yu Shufang, the housekeeping aunt of Hong Xinli's family, came from the telephone receiver, her voice was a little trembling, and she couldn't tell whether she was scared or nervous.

"It's me," Huo Yan heard Yu Shufang's voice, "What's the matter?"

"Help! Come and help!

Please, come quickly! If it's too late, this life will be gone!" As soon as Yu Shufang heard that the person who answered the phone was really Huo Yan, she immediately shouted anxiously on the other end of the phone.
