Chapter 656: Autopsy
The three-year-old and five-year-old were too young to know anything, so Xia Yue asked them to take them away first.
With such a big child, there was a sudden change in the family, and his father and mother died all at once. The five-year-old still knows a little, and the three-year-old is completely at a loss, only knowing that his father and grandfather suddenly fell asleep, and they can't wake up no matter how they scream.
Adults can also persuade and endure grief. It's not easy for children, Aunt Zhou has already cried and fallen to the ground, and the two children hugged their grandmother left and right, and they couldn't stop crying.
The three of them cried together, and Xia Yue only felt that his head was going to explode.
couldn't be coaxed, but in the end, Aunt Lin ran over and brought some food for the two children.
Because Aunt Zhou delivers food to Six Doors every day and often brings her children, the two children are very familiar with the people in the Six Doors room, and they are also very familiar with Aunt Lin.
She and a little girl who did chores, one by one, took the child out and coaxed it.
The voice finally quieted down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Zhou was also persuaded by everyone to slowly stop crying, helped up, and sat on the chair.
Ye Caitang inspected the body as soon as possible.
The body was still in the same way as it was when it died, at the dinner table, and the doctor had examined it and concluded that it was arsenic poisoning.
Arsenic is the most common poison in this era and can be measured with a silver needle.
But the doctor used a silver needle to test all the remaining dumplings on the table, but the remaining dumplings were all normal and did not have arsenic.
Then I ran to the kitchen and checked all the raw dumplings left in the kitchen that had not been put into the pot, the dumplings that had not been fished out of the pot, and the dumplings that had not been wrapped.
No problem.
"That's weird." The doctor said, "Didn't they get poisoned by eating dumplings?" ”
If so, why did six people eat and three people were poisoned, could it be that only three of these dumplings were poisoned, and they happened to be eaten by three people, one of them?
This is also a bit of a coincidence.
Ye Caitang asked Aunt Zhou: "When was the last time they ate?" ”
The time it takes for arsenic to enter the body to the onset of arsenic is as fast as a quarter of an hour, as slow as two or three hours, generally speaking, in about half an hour.
According to Mrs. Zhou's recollections, it has indeed been a quarter of an hour since everyone sat down to eat dumplings together, but there was no half an hour.
"But that doesn't mean that the poison must be in the dumplings." Ye Caitang said: "Did they eat anything else today? ”
This really stumped Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou thought about it: "I can't be sure either, because I'm not at home in the morning." I was going out to deliver food in the morning as usual, and when I came back, it was almost lunch, and my daughter-in-law had already rolled out the dumpling skin, and the dumpling filling was also mixed and was being wrapped, and then I also helped wrap a few, and then she put the dumplings in the pot. ”
Speaking of which, this dumpling was made by Cheng Runli, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Zhou.
Xia Yue said: "What is the relationship between your son and daughter-in-law, have there been conflicts recently?" ”
Aunt Zhou was taken aback: "You said that Lili did it, this is impossible." My son and daughter-in-law have always had a good relationship, and I haven't seen any disputes between them. What's more, my daughter-in-law has a good temper and a gentle temperament, so it is impossible for her to do such a vicious thing. ”
Poisoning her husband, poisoning her father-in-law, and committing suicide by poisoning, this is still enough.
It's not something that ordinary people can do.
Xia Yue said: "Who served these dumplings from the pot?" ”
It's like a targeted poisoning.
Otherwise, why are both children okay?
Putting aside the grievances and hatreds of adults for the time being, children must be innocent.
If it is poisoned indiscriminately, either the whole pot will be poisonous, and everyone will die together. But now it's clearly not.
If you are poisoned at a fixed point, how can you guarantee who will die? Happened to have two children staggered?
Aunt Zhou said: "I am also full, and my daughter-in-law is also full." ”
"How do you feel the difference in dumplings?"
Aunt Zhou was crying stupidly today, and asked in a daze: "What's the difference?" ”
Xia Yue sighed.
"For example, what are the marks on the dumplings? How many have been pinched? Xia Yue thought that they also ate dumplings today: "Or the dumpling filling is different, or the dipping sauce is different?" ”
There is always a saying about where the poison goes.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhou thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything.
Dumplings are eaten at home every day, they are all wrapped by themselves, and the filling is adjusted by themselves, some of the dumplings are good-looking, some of the dumplings are ugly, the technology is not good, and the crooked and oblique are poured, where do you care so much.
Aunt Zhou said: "The dumpling filling and dipping sauce are the same, but when I came back, my daughter-in-law had already wrapped part of it, and if I really did it first, I don't know." When the dumplings were served, they were steaming, and I didn't pay attention to these. ”
Now there is no proof of death, and no one can say.
Cheng Runli's family, who soon got the news, came over, and Xia Yue saw the menacing group, and her head suddenly grew.
He is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of this, a group of women make trouble, and they can't beat or scold.
After Cheng Runli's family came, after hearing what Aunt Zhou said, she suspected that her daughter had poisoned her husband's father-in-law, and she was immediately unwilling.
Ye Caitang really wants to shut up Aunt Zhou's mouth, and now you suspect others without evidence, you really don't make sense. Do people still suspect that your family killed their own daughter?
The chaos finally calmed the emotions of the two families.
Ye Caitang was not idle at this time, she had already discussed it with Xia Yue.
Now the first thing is to determine where the poison was caused by the poisoning of the three people.
Are they dumplings or not?
Now I can't even be sure about this, so let's talk about finding the source.
But all three of them were already dead, and the only way to know what they had in common in this half hour was to perform an autopsy.
When Aunt Zhou heard Xia Yue say that she wanted to ask her to dissect the three people and check what food was in her stomach, she was stunned.
This, how does this make it?
Ye Caitang nodded slowly.
Yes, it's the only way.
Fortunately, the time is short, and it should not have been digested. And this must be a more difficult to digest, and hard thing. That's why I didn't give it to the two children.
Aunt Zhou looked at Ye Caitang, unimaginable.
"Are you a puppet?"
"yes." Ye Caitang said: "I'm a beau, haven't you heard others call me Ye Bezuo?" ”
No, Aunt Zhou often goes to the six doors, and she often goes to the room.
Aunt Zhou nodded slowly: "I've heard it, but it's ......."
I've heard it, but I still don't think it's true. A neat little girl would ...... Dissecting the corpse, I can't think about it.
"Put it down." Ye Caitang said kindly: "After the examination, I will sew the body together and put on clothes to ensure that it is not visible at all." ”
Aunt Zhou's face twitched, is this something that can be seen and can't be seen?
