Chapter 44: Death by Poisoning
News of someone's death quickly spread through the bar, causing an immediate uproar.
Those uniformed police officers were obviously a little powerless in the face of so many commotion customers.
Seeing this, the sergeant who led the team immediately called for support.
He Jiahui also stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, let's help maintain order!" ”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The sheriff nodded.
Everyone took their police ID cards and began to help maintain order at the scene, and the sheriff also walked to the stage of the resident singer and picked up the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm PTU Sheriff Vincent Lee. Please do not panic, do not move, stay in the same position, and do not leave for a while to avoid accidents.
After a while, my colleague will register everyone's identity, and then everyone can leave. Please be patient and thank you for your cooperation!
Our police officers are always here, if you have any questions, or if you have an urgent need, you can contact the nearest police officer, and we will help you solve the problem. ”
And just when the police officer appeased everyone, He Jiahui had already looked at the deceased.
The deceased was a young male, about twenty-four or five years old, and his expression was slightly distorted, his eyes were slightly protruding, and he looked like he was in pain before his death.
If you look closely, the man's lips are bright red, and there is something like white foam on the side of his mouth, as if the liquid has solidified.
"This man was poisoned! On the surface, there is a high probability that it is cyanide. He Jiahui was shocked, and immediately said to the deceased's companions: "Don't touch the food and drinks on the table, it may be poisonous!" ”
Then Ho Ka Fai found the sheriff again.
"Sir Li, I found that there was a residue of an unknown substance in the corner of the deceased's mouth, so it is very likely that the deceased was poisoned." He Jiahui said.
"It's good if you call me Brother Sen, everyone calls me that." The sheriff then asked, "You said that the deceased was poisoned, was it poisoned by someone, or was it accidentally poisoned?" ”
"This is not known at this time, because the source of the poison cannot be determined, so it cannot be ruled out that other people's food or drink is poisonous. I recommend locking down the kitchen immediately, controlling the chefs, and informing all customers not to consume any more food and drinks from the table. ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to cordon off the kitchen right away." Sheriff Senge spoke.
Ho continued: "Judging from the situation at the scene, the deceased's friends did not find out that the deceased died in the first place, indicating that the deceased died suddenly in a short period of time, and there was almost no struggle in the process.
I judged that it was most likely caused by cyanide, and the deceased's lips were red and his eyes were protruding, all of which looked like a death from cyanide poisoning. Of course, the details will have to wait for the confirmation of the Assurance Section.
Therefore, we also have to inform the forensic department to bring more poison detection reagents, as we may need to test a lot of samples to confirm the source of the poison. Ho continued.
……
At night in Lan Kwai Fong, the police force was very abundant, and it didn't take long for another team of PTU mobile units from the patrol to come to support.
Subsequently, members of the Serious Crime Unit and the Forensic Identification Section also arrived.
"I am Chief Inspector Huang Qiqi of the Serious Crime Unit! Where are the deceased? A familiar voice rang out.
"There's an old acquaintance here!" He Jiahui looked at Huang Qiqi with a smile.
Brother Sen took Huang Qiqi to the deceased, and at this time, Huang Qiqi also saw He Jiahui on the side.
"How are you!" Huang Qiqi recognized He Jiahui at a glance.
For this student policeman who can solve cases, Huang Qiqi is too impressed.
The key is the case in the police academy cafeteria, which was obviously broken by He Jiahui, and Huang Qiqi lay flat the whole time. But when Huang Qiqi wrote the report, he took all the credit on himself, a typical shameless behavior of stealing credit.
Therefore, when Huang Qiqi saw He Jiahui again, he was naturally a little weak-hearted.
"Inspector Huang, we're meeting again!" He Jiahui said with a smile.
Huang Qiqi looked at the police officer's ID on He Jiahui's chest and asked, "You have already graduated?" ”
"I just graduated not long ago and was assigned to the Sham Shui Po Police Station in West Kowloon." He Jiahui replied.
"West Kowloon's? So what are you doing in Central? Huang Qiqi continued to ask.
"Come over for dinner, I happened to encounter this incident, so I came over to help maintain order!" Ho Ka Fai continued to reply.
Sergeant Brother Sen asked, "Inspector Huang, it turns out that you know each other!" ”
"Of course I do." He Jiahui smiled, and then said: "I am an old acquaintance with Inspector Huang. ”
He Jiahui did not mention the murder in the school cafeteria, and the more this is the case, the more weak Huang Qiqi becomes.
So Huang Qiqi hurriedly diverted the topic: "Let's talk about it when I have a chance, I'll learn about the case first." Can the cause of death of the deceased be determined now? ”
"There are some unknown substances in the mouth of the deceased, and the preliminary judgment is that he died of poisoning, and the poison is likely to be cyanide." Brother Sen directly repeated He Jiahui's conclusion.
"Is cyanide poisoning? It was most likely poisoned. Huang Qiqi turned his head and called the people from the forensic department, asking them to determine as soon as possible whether the deceased had died of poisoning.
Later, Huang Qiqi began to ask the deceased's companions to obtain the deceased's personal information.
The deceased's name was Yu Zhenghuang, a graduate student at the Chinese University of Chinese. In addition to him, there were six other people at the same table.
The first to be questioned was a short girl, wearing a pair of glasses, and she was weak, and she was crying very sadly at this time, and she looked very sad.
The woman's name is Liu Wei, and she is also a graduate student at Chinese University, and she is in the same department as the deceased, but one level lower than the deceased, and the deceased is her senior.
The second was a small, shrewd-looking man.
This person's name is Lin Zhijian, who is also a graduate student of Chinese University, he and the deceased were classmates in college, and later graduate students were also in the same department, and they were also the same supervisor, and the two were classmates and friends for many years.
And today is also his birthday, because he is usually familiar with the deceased, so he invited the deceased to his birthday party.
The third person to be questioned was a muscular man.
He Lin Youqiang, Lin Zhijian's cousin, is here to celebrate his cousin's birthday today, everyone present, except for Lin Zhijian, he is meeting for the first time.
The fourth man is also not tall, has a very ordinary appearance, and looks introverted, and stammers a little.
His name is Ma Minghao, he also graduated from Chinese University, and when he was in college, he was classmates with Yu Zhenghuang and Lin Zhijian, but he did not study in graduate school, and he worked after graduating from university. As an old classmate, Ma Minghao was also invited to the birthday party.
The fifth was a man with glasses, twenty-eight or nineteen years old.
This person's name is Xue Youlin, who works as a teaching assistant at the Chinese University, and is in the same department as the deceased. As a teaching assistant, he usually has more contact with graduate students and is very familiar with each other, so he was invited to Lin Zhijian's birthday party.
The sixth is a girl, the girlfriend of the assistant teacher Xue Youlin, who is not familiar with the deceased and came to accompany her boyfriend.
Huang Qiqi has just learned about the deceased and the identity of the deceased's friends, and the forensic department has also obtained results.
The forensic doctor said: "Inspector Huang, I extracted the residue from the deceased's mouth and tested it, and it was indeed cyanide, so it can be preliminarily determined that the deceased died of cyanide poisoning." For more detailed information, we will need to perform an autopsy before we can report back to you. ”
"It's really poisoned!" Huang Qiqi let out a sigh of relief and commanded: "Immediately test the food and drinks on the table to find the source of the poison!" ”
