"Strong ability, handsome, able to fight and carry, beautiful wife, happy family... You must have saved the world in your last life."

Hu Pingtao stood up quickly, dumbfounded: "Stop it, stop it! This is not the way to discuss the case."

He turned to Wang Xiongjie and said seriously: "Team Wang, I think Nux vomica can be used as a breakthrough in this case."

These words just hit Wang Xiongjie's heart, and he laughed: "There are many cases of poisoning and murder, but the types of poisons used are basically pesticides such as dichlorvos. There is also cyanide poisoning, but that thing belongs to the management

These products are difficult for non-professionals to obtain. In addition, sleeping drugs can also have fatal effects if taken in large doses."

Slowing down his speech, Wang Xiongjie's expression gradually became grim: "Strictly speaking, the poisoning reaction of Strychnos nux vomica is not very fast, but it also depends on the specific dosage. Bai Yueping consumes a lot of poison. Because of this, the murderer chose

Add poison to hot and sour water. Otherwise, the bitter and pungent smell of the poison itself will tell you there is something wrong just by smelling it with your nose."

Hu Pingtao agreed: "My understanding of Nux Vomica mainly comes from my biology teacher in middle school. When I was young, I was watching "The Count of Monte Cristo" and I was familiar with the part about toxicology between the protagonist and the judge's wife.

I was very interested in the conversation, and I also learned a lot about the characteristics of plant toxins from the biology teacher. Nux vomica poison damages the nerves.

The central nervous system causes a strong reaction, which will eventually lead to muscle atrophy. The poisoned person usually suffocates to death. The whole body becomes weak and twitches, and then the shoulders, legs and feet spasm until the whole body curls up into an arch shape. The wonderful "trigger medicine" in martial arts novels refers to

It's Nux Vomica. After being poisoned, the corpse of the deceased will still twitch, look hideous, and die in extremely painful ways."

Zhang Yixuan said: "Strychnine is a state-controlled product. Except for professionals, it is almost impossible to obtain it through formal channels. Ping Tao is right, we can look for clues from this aspect."

"The other thing is the motive for killing." Hu Pingtao continued: "I was training at the Provincial Party School during this time, and Bai Yueping was the lecturer of the party history class. Personally, I feel that she has a good reputation in the school, and Brother Ding feels the same way.

.”

As soon as the words came out, other participants laughed.

Gu Dewei held his stomach and laughed: "Brother Hu, you don't know, Brother Ding has a crush on anyone who is a woman."

Tang Yuan was also happy: "The women that Fatty Ding usually comes into contact with the most are corpses. Last year, Brother Hu, when you were not here, there was a meeting in the bureau. Deputy Director Yang was in charge of logistics. At the meeting, he proposed to take care of his family while working. Brother Ding said at that time

Stand up and say that he is not married yet and ask the organization to help him

Director Yang was so angry at him that he almost couldn't breathe. Afterwards, he discussed in private: It's not that he was unwilling to help, but Brother Ding looked really anxious. In addition, he worked as a forensic doctor and spent all day with dead people.

Dealing with... If we really want to solve it, I'm afraid we can only change the job for Brother Ding."

Wang Xiongjie raised his knuckles and knocked on the table again: "Okay, don't joke about this. Ding Jian works diligently as a forensic doctor and has never made any mistakes. You guys, please pay more attention when you have nothing to do."

Introduce a girlfriend to Ding Jian... we will discuss this later. Xiaohu, go on."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "The next step of the investigation will be carried out as usual, mainly focusing on Bai Yueping's circle of friends and family members. Eliminate them one by one and select the target with the strongest motive for murder."

Wang Xiongjie said: "Zhang Yixuan is responsible for this matter. I'll give you two days, that should be enough, right?"

Zhang Yixuan quickly stood up: "I can only say that I am trying my best. Team Wang, you also know that there is no guarantee on things like investigating crimes."

Wang Xiongjie looked at him and said: "It's not that I want to force you, but this case is very special. Think about it, the Provincial Party School! Where is that place? Bai Yueping is a lecturer, and she was poisoned in the party school restaurant.

We take it very seriously, but there is no deadline to solve the case."

Zhang Yixuan nodded and said: "I will speed up the investigation."

This is the limit of what he can guarantee.

Tang Yuan waited patiently for the two of them to finish talking before turning to the next page of the document: "Speaking of Nux Vomica, I think this part of the information deserves attention - Bai Yueping's husband's name is Cao Lijun, and he is in

Work at the Institute of Botany.”

There was suddenly no more discussion in the room and it was completely silent.

After a few seconds, Hu Pingtao broke the silence: "The Institute of Botany, Nux Vomica...the connection between the two is still very close. Could it be that the husband poisoned his wife because of family disharmony?"

Wang Xiongjie responded quickly: "Zhang Yixuan, you will focus on investigating the Institute of Botany and Cao Lijun next."

As he was talking, his cell phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Ding Jian's number.

Wang Xiongjie's cell phone is on speakerphone. This is his habit. Whenever he calls at work, he always asks: "Fat Ding, what's wrong?"

Ding Jian's anxious voice came from the loudspeaker: "Send someone over quickly, preferably a woman. Bai Yueping's family members have come to the hospital and are making trouble in the ward. I can't stop them at all."

…

There were few cars at night, so we set off from the city bureau. Hu Pingtao and others arrived at the hospital more than ten minutes later.

Bai Yueping lives in the special care ward.

After getting out of the elevator, before entering the room, I heard a loud noise in the distance.

Wang Xiongjie and others quickly quickened their pace.

Pushing the door open and entering the house, Hu Pingtao saw an elderly lady pointing at the middle-aged man standing opposite and scolding her endlessly.

"You heartless person, you want my daughter to die!"

"Do you think you can monopolize the family property after she dies? It's a dream! That's my daughter. She has already written her will in black and white, and you have no share in it."

"Get out, get out!"

The middle-aged man is thin and wears a common shirt and trousers. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He is bald on the top of his head. His hair grows all around. His skin is of poor quality and tends to be dry. There are a lot of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead.

, she looks much older than Bai Yueping, with an age difference of at least ten years.

Ding Jian stood in the middle. Although he was usually mean-mouthed, he was not good at persuading. When he saw Wang Xiongjie and others coming in, he took a long breath and felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

"Finally you are here." Ding Jian hurriedly came over and introduced each other: "This is Teacher Bai's mother, and this is her lover Cao Lijun."

Wang Xiongjie glanced at Bai Yueping, who was lying on the bed, turned sideways, seemingly sleeping, but actually unwilling to talk to her. His eyes turned to Cao Lijun and Bai Mu, and asked calmly: "What happened?"

Bai's mother was very excited. She raised her hand and pointed at Cao Lijun tremblingly: "Comrade police, arrest him quickly. He is the one who killed my daughter. He is the one who did this today!"

Cao Lijun frowned, his face full of resentment, but he did not lose control: "Mom, calm down, don't say such nonsense. The specific situation needs to be investigated by the police."

"There is no need to investigate, it was you who did it!" Bai Mu was so angry that she almost stabbed Cao Lijun in the face with her stretched out finger: "My daughter has never had a good life after being married to you for so many years. She is so younger than you.

"More, you are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are. It's not enough to have my daughter. You also have to raise a mistress, a mistress, a mistress, and maybe a fifth and a sixth..."

Cao Lijun's face turned white and red, extremely embarrassed and angry: "What are you talking about! There is no such thing as a shadow!"

Bai Mu spat at him: "Don't think that I don't know anything when I'm old. I'm not confused. You and the women in your unit are not clear. I saw it with my own eyes. You can't rely on it!"

As she said that, she pointed sideways at a middle-aged woman sitting inside the ward: "You said you came to see Yue Ping, and you brought a woman with you."

"Mom!" Cao Lijun felt like he was going crazy: "Yang Fang is the nanny at home, and Yue Ping knows it. Sister Yang usually cooks at home. You... you can't say nonsense in front of the police comrades!

"

Wang Xiongjie listened to the general idea and basically understood what was going on. He stood in the middle, faced Bai Mu and persuaded: "Old lady, this is a hospital, not your own home. The hospital called the police and said it was

Someone disturbed the peace and a complaint has been made."

When Bai's mother heard this, a look of fear appeared on her face, but she refused to admit defeat and said plausibly: "I came to see what happened to my daughter? She was poisoned and almost died, and you are not allowed to say a few words?

"

Wang Xiongjie asked patiently: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"Of course I know." Bai Mu pointed at Cao Lijun standing opposite: "That's him!"

"Do you have evidence?" Wang Xiongjie is very experienced in this.

"Yes!" Bai Mu said loudly!

Wang Xiongjie smiled and turned sideways, pointing to the policewoman standing behind him: "Let's do this! You and our comrade will make a note and tell her what you know. We are police and will not accuse people unjustly.

A good person will never let a bad person go."

Bai Mu looked at the young policewoman with a puzzled expression: "Tell her...will it work?"

Wang Xiongjie nodded affirmatively and patiently advised: "This is a hospital. Even if you have great grievances, you cannot prevent the patients from resting. Besides, even if your daughter is in the special care unit, you have to consider the feelings of others.

! The hospital needs to keep quiet. If you yell like this, even if we can't get here in time, the hospital security will have to kick you out."

After saying this, Bai Mu immediately became honest. She thought about it and followed the policewoman out of the room.

Hu Pingtao walked to the other side of the hospital bed and saw Bai Yueping lying on her side, not asleep, with her eyes open and her face full of irritation.

He couldn't help but smile and greeted in a low voice: "Teacher Bai, are you feeling better?"

Bai Yueping nodded tiredly, unwilling to speak.

Hu Pingtao raised his head, looked at the bouquets and two flower baskets piled on the bedside table, and asked Ding Jian standing next to him in a low voice: "Brother Ding, there are many people coming to visit Teacher Bai!"

Ding Jiandao: "They are all people from the Provincial Party School and related units. There are more than 20 of them. They all came here after getting the news in the afternoon."

"Afternoon?" Hu Pingtao was a little confused: "The rescue should have just been completed at that time. Teacher Bai hasn't woken up yet, right?"

Ding Jian whispered: "They didn't see anyone, and the nurse blocked them from entering. The flowers and gifts were placed at the nurse's station. I came over after dinner in the afternoon. At that time, Teacher Bai was injecting an intravenous drip and said it was a condition.

It's stable enough to visit her and send her flowers. I just did it for a while and the old lady came."

Hu Pingtao turned sideways and saw Wang Xiongjie talking in a low voice with Cao Lijun. He took two steps to the hospital bed, approached Bai Yueping, and asked seriously: "Teacher Bai, do you have anything to say to me?"

Bai Yueping was not in a very high mood. In addition, she was mentally and physically exhausted after the gastric lavage and rescue. She seemed weak when she spoke: "...You guys should talk to my husband first and let me take a rest."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Then I will come over to see you tomorrow."

Straightening up, he walked up to Wang Xiongjie and, as agreed on the road, winked at him.

Wang Xiongjie saw everything. He said to Cao Lijun: "This is not the place to talk. The old lady is also very excited. Let's go downstairs and walk around. I have some questions to ask you."

Cao Lijun hesitated: "What do you want to ask?"
