The death of the ship king first started with his dispute with his eldest son Fu Jiansheng, and suddenly fainted during the process.

Su Xuezhi remembered it very clearly that on the night last year, she had made an appointment with Fu Mingcheng to perform a second dissection of Luo Jinhu, but later he failed to come because of this incident.

It is not difficult to infer that the ship king was too excited during the dispute with his eldest son, which caused a cerebral blood vessel rupture, which then caused a cerebral hemorrhage, that is, a stroke.

There are two types of strokes: thrombotic cerebral infarction and hemorrhagic cerebral hemorrhage, and the ship king belongs to the latter. The autopsy after his death also proves this.

After his first stroke fell, his condition improved after careful treatment and care. It then worsened again and eventually died of illness.

There seems to be no problem in this whole process. Not to mention the contemporary medical conditions, even in Su Xuezhi's original era, it is impossible to guarantee that patients who have fallen into stroke will be treated satisfactorily.

After re-examining the process, Su Xuezhi felt that the ship king had a stroke and fell down in the first place, which was basically a doubt. Most likely, this was a sudden accident with a chance nature. If his guess was also valid, then Kimura, who had been waiting for many years, seized this opportunity, took advantage of his doctor's identity, and tampered in the subsequent treatment. After he got his wish, he instructed Miss Jiang to kill Fu Jiansheng and successfully sent Fu Mingcheng to the position of the new ship king, which was perfectly realized.

Therefore, if you want to verify whether Kimura was the driving force behind the death of the Ship King, you must start with the treatment after the Ship King fell down.

How did Kimura treat him? What medicine did he use during the process?

Su Xuezhi easily remembered the Ship King Memorial Room built in the medical school last year. All relevant medical files of the Ship King medical case are preserved.

Su Xuezhi had read the archives before. But now that he has doubts, he naturally needs to read them again. After all, it is definitely different to review and general reading with purpose. Perhaps this time there will be some new discoveries that he did not pay attention to at the beginning.

In order to avoid attracting Kimura's attention, the files were naturally inconvenient, so I had to check them out by myself. Moreover, it is best to have a legitimate reason for a trip to Tiancheng. Just a few days later, the medical school will start again this school year, and Su Xuezhi also received an invitation from the principal, asking her if she had time to go back and attend the opening ceremony of the new year as an outstanding graduate. Originally, Su Xuezhi was still hesitating whether to go back or not, but now it was an opportunity.

A few days later, Su Xuezhi took the train back to Tiancheng alone. After attending the opening ceremony of the day, she took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Ship King Exhibition Hall with the freshmen. She found a free time, went to the archives room to borrow information, started from the beginning, and then browsed it carefully. There were still no valuable clues. From the Ship King's illness to his final death, in a few months, the medical record clearly recorded the entire treatment process, including what medicine he had used, and could not find any problems.

Disappointment is inevitable. However, Su Xuezhi did not have much hope for this medical file. After all, if the ship king's final death was as he thought, and it was related to Kimura, he would not be able to record the medical record truthfully. Not to mention that Fu Mingcheng himself is a doctor, even if his family is an ordinary person with no medical knowledge and ulterior motives, how could he leave any traces on the medical record?

In the evening, she and her cousin were invited to the principal's house for dinner, and went to Zhoujiazhuang to visit Zhou Xiaoyu. After returning, her cousin went to the police shed and Su Xuezhi returned to her place of residence.

The driver who pulled the cart for her was Ding Chunshan arranged by him. He Hanzhu was already waiting for her in her room. After closing the doors and windows, she told him the result.

"I don't know about medicine and cannot provide you with advice on this. Originally, you could have contacted Fu Mingcheng and might have found something new. But Kimura must have monitored him closely, and it is unknown what Fu Mingcheng personally thinks..."

Su Xuezhi glanced at him: "You seem to be biased against him?"

He Hanzhu immediately denied: "Where, you misunderstood. I just want to discuss the matter."

When he said this, he actually felt a little savory.

The house she settled in Tiancheng was arranged for her by Fu Mingcheng. He Hanzhu knew this a long time ago. At that time, he was just out of habitual caution. After learning that she had rented a place, he asked Ding Chunshan to check the background of the owner just in case. Ding Chunshan went to find an agent, but the shopkeeper did not say it at the beginning. When Ding Chunshan showed his identity, he said that the garrison headquarters was going to investigate the case, and he was scared on the spot. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, these people were similar to tigers and wolves, so they dared not disobey, so they immediately handed over the information of the owner.

But He Hanzhu never told her about this. Later, he felt upset whenever he thought about it. During that period, he was "testing" her, which led to her living in the collective dormitory. It was the time when the two had the worst relationship.

"Of course, if you trust him very much and feel that there is no problem, you tell me that I can also arrange it for you and meet him as soon as possible. I will completely obey your opinions on this matter."

He immediately changed the subject and looked at her sitting at the table and said seriously.

Su Xuezhi lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly, she thought of another person.

She looked up quickly at him.

"Do you know where Mrs. Fu is now?"

In order to understand the daily life of the Fu family during that period, in addition to Fu Mingcheng, Mrs. Fu was also a way out. Given that she was eager to compete for inheritance for her own son at that time, she must always pay close attention to the treatment of the ship king.

If Kimura really has problems, he will take strict precautions against Fu Mingcheng and will not show any flaws in front of him. Starting from Mrs. Fu, maybe there will be some valuable discoveries.

"Short after the funeral of the ship king last year, Fu Mingcheng sent his sister abroad. As for Mrs. Fu, she was not in good health since then, and it is said that she was sent back to her hometown to recuperate."

"As soon as possible, I want to find her to find out the situation." Su Xuezhi said immediately.

A week later, Su Xuezhi, accompanied by He Hanzhu, dressed in ordinary clothes and secretly came to where Mrs. Fu now lives under the cover of night.

This is a very remote countryside. The old lady who serves Mrs. Fu's surname is Zhang. She told Su Xuezhi, "Mrs. is not very well now. She is sick in bed and can't get up. She can't sleep all night. She crys, laughs, and looks very scared. She says she's seeing a ghost and I'm not allowed to leave. She says she's afraid that ghosts will look for her. She curses fiercely..."

She muttered and said this, she looked at Su Xuezhi uneasyly, stopped, and finally led her into a courtyard, pointed to a door with dim candlelight and said, "Mrs.

Su Xuezhi took the teapot that the old mother brought and walked in. When he was about to arrive, the sound of footsteps alarmed the people inside. Suddenly, there was a curse in the door: "Old Zhang, you should be slow to send you a tea! You are like those unscrupulous people. Seeing that my son died and was locked up here again, you can't stand out again in this life, right? Show me, Fu Mingcheng, a bastard who is careless, will he not die well if he kills my son! When he dies, my family will take me back..."

Su Xuezhi opened the door.

Mrs. Fu sat on the bed, her hair was disheveled, and she was cursing in the direction of the door. Suddenly she saw Su Xuezhi standing at the door, stopping, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

"It's you!"

She quickly recognized the person, grabbed the edge of the bed with her hand and stretched out half of her body.

"What are you doing? You are a damn evil spirit!" Mrs. Fu widened her eyes, and her palm angrily slapped the edge of the bed, making a sound of slap.

In less than a year, Mrs. Fu in front of her has become more powerful compared to what Su Xuezhi thinks. Now she has lost the appearance of the former noble lady.

Su Xuezhi remembered that she was a rich person before, but now she looked like a shell that had been drained from water. Not only was she thin and haggard, but her skin also wrinkled. Her eyes were red and radiated with a fierce light. She stared at herself, gritting her teeth, and looked like a devouring person.

She walked in, put down the teapot, looked at Mrs. Fu, and didn't immediately speak.

Mrs. Fu confronted her for a moment, and suddenly her face changed drastically.

"It was Fu Mingcheng who asked you to kill me? He didn't let me live, right?"

Her eyes showed a look of fear, she suddenly lifted the quilt, rolled and crawled out of the bed, didn't even wear shoes, and stumbled out like a ghost, shouting with hissing: "Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang! Save me! They are going to kill me-"

"I'm here to help you." Su Xuezhi said.

"I'll come and help you find out who is the real murderer who killed your son."

Mrs. Fu stopped suddenly, turned around, and stared at Su Xuezhi.

"Mrs. Fu, I'm investigating the cause of the son's death again and looking for you to find out the situation."

Mrs. Fu settled for a moment, reacted, rushed towards Su Xuezhi, and grabbed her arm tightly. Mrs. Fu's hand was so strong that it hurt Su Xuezhi's arm.

"Really? Are you talking about it true? It's because Fu Mingcheng is in trouble now. Do you want to re-invest his killing of my son?" she asked, her voice sharply.

He Hanzhu, who was standing outside, saw it and frowned, and was about to come in. Su Xuezhi looked in his direction, shook his head, and told him not to disturb him. He endured the pain and let Mrs. Fu grab it without moving, comforting: "Yes, he offended the big man. So you need your cooperation. You must tell me everything you know."

Mrs. Fu was so excited that she trembled all over, muttering "Spirited" in her mouth, muttering seven or eight times, spreading Su Xuezhi away, covering her face with both hands. After a while, she gasped, barefoot, stepped on the ground in the house, walked back and forth, walked a few times, stopped suddenly, looked at Su Xuezhi, and said in a flattering voice: "Mr. Su, I know you are a good person, you can't be the most fair. What do you want to know, just ask!"

Su Xuezhi helped her sit down, poured her a glass of water, and asked her about the daily affairs of the Fu family.

After her son died, she was sent to this remote place. As if she was dead, Mrs. Fu had long lost her former aura and became a person full of fear and resentment who lived in her imagination all day long. Now when she heard Su Xuezhi say this, it was like catching a life-saving straw. What she asked, Mrs. Fu responded to everything.

...

"After the ship king fell ill, Mrs. Fu, you have been taking care of him all the time?"

Mrs. Fu nodded, then shook her head again, saying that her husband didn't want her to approach and was very wary of her, and was basically taken care of by Miss Jiang.

Speaking of Miss Jiang, Mrs. Fu's teeth clattered again: "Bad woman! Kill the bad woman who was put into the oil pan with a thousand swords! It was Fu Mingcheng who used her to control his father and instructed her to kill my son! Fu Mingcheng hid behind himself, and in the end he had nothing to do!" Then she cursed Fu Mingcheng again and spoke ill without hesitation.

Su Xuezhi interrupted: "Mrs. Fu, you said Fu Mingcheng used Miss Jiang to control the ship king. This is a new idea. Then think about it, from the time when the ship king fell ill and before his death, did you notice any abnormalities between Mr. Kimura or Miss Jiang?"

Mrs. Fu showed joy on her face, stopped cursing, and recalled it, but she couldn't think of any abnormal situation for a moment. She was afraid that if she said this, Xiao Su would dispel her suspicion of Fu Mingcheng, so she thought desperately.

"You can't fabricate facts. If you lie, it will affect the investigation of the case. Instead, you are helping Fu Mingcheng and proving his innocence." Su Xuezhi warned seriously.

Mrs. Fu was thinking about how to make up something, but when she met the two cold gazes that Su Xuezhi cast, she was shocked and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I know, I won't..."

Su Xuezhi nodded and his voice eased: "Don't be anxious, take your time. Especially during the period after the ship king's condition improved, he took medicine every day and met with Dr. Kimura. Think carefully about these aspects. Have you ever had any accidents? No matter how big or small, as long as it is different from usual, if you have an impression, tell me."

Mrs. Fu thought for a while, then knocked her head hard with her fist in pain, and shouted in despair: "Some! There must be some! I can't remember it for a while! It's all the blame for that little bastard Fu Mingcheng! He locked me here, and my memory is ruined now! He hates me, and he dies even if he wants me! Xiao Su, don't leave first, stay, let me think slowly, I can always think of it!"

Su Xuezhi suppressed the disappointment in her heart again, and thought for a while, just as she was about to promise her to spend the night here and let her think slowly so as not to put too much pressure on her. Suddenly, Mrs. Fu looked up and said, "I remember one thing. I just don't know if it's useful."

"You said, no matter how small the matter is, it's OK." Su Xuezhi immediately encouraged.

Mrs. Fu took a sip of water and recalled: "I went to see the master that day. I walked into the room. Miss Jiang was serving the medicine the master wanted. She didn't even hear me coming in. I walked behind her and called her. She seemed to be shocked. She knocked over the bottle of medicine in her hand and sprinkled the pills on the ground. I was unhappy at the time and blamed her a few words. She apologized to me, saying that she was too serious just now and didn't hear my voice."

After Mrs. Fu finished speaking, she gestured excitedly: "Xiao Su, the more I think about it now, the more suspicious I feel. Miss Jiang is obviously guilty! Otherwise, I just went in and called her, why was she shocked? She was dead, but there was Fu Mingcheng! You must check it out carefully!"

Su Xuezhi became interested and asked: "What are the pills that have been sprinkled? Do you know?"

Mrs. Fu shook her head: "I don't know this. I only remember it is white and round..."

Many medicines look like this, including several medicines taken on the Ship King’s medical record.

Su Xuezhi thought about it and asked her if she had any other memories. Mrs. Fu thought hard for a while, but she really couldn't think of it anymore and shook her head.

Su Xue Zhizhi, Mrs. Fu, should have no other clues here. After the conversation, she got up and said goodbye.

That night, Su Xuezhi embarked on the way home with He Hanzhu. The two of them spent the night in the town dozens of miles away with Ding Chunshan. The next day, they followed the way they came, took a boat first, and then took a train north. In the carriage, her head leaned on He Hanzhu's shoulder, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She drove Mrs. Fu's neurotic look from her mind, recalling her interactions with Kimura. From realizing that she followed Fu Mingcheng to visit his home, to the later Zhou Xiaoyu incident... Suddenly, she stopped.

She remembered an old thing that surprised her at that time. But that thing seemed to have no special meaning at that time. Now I think about it again...

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She recalled the story carefully again. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was reasonable. Even the conclusion was almost about to come out. But...

evidence!

She still needs the final evidence before she makes a final conclusion!

The exhausting long journey is finally over.

The train slowly entered the station and stopped.

He Hanzhu thought she was asleep, so he looked down at her and called her softly, but saw her suddenly open her eyes and look up at herself, her eyes shining brightly.

"I need the storage and usage records of Qinghe Hospital's aspirin during the time when the Ship King's illness occurred. Can you help me get it as soon as possible?"

...

Another night falls.

In the southern suburbs of Tiancheng, Fu Mingcheng met the famous scholar Yokogawa at his home in Kimura. The old man had a clear face, gentle and spiritual eyes, gray hair, and spoke extremely authentic Chinese language, and his scholarly style was undoubtedly revealed.

If he had not known the other party's identity, no one who saw such an elegant old man would have linked him with his military adviser.

But Fu Mingcheng knew that Yokogawa's status was extraordinary. He was not only the highest advisor to Japanese affairs, but also like a spiritual idol. His deeds were vigorously promoted. In the island country, he was a god-like figure that everyone respected. Now, around this house, there were countless guards guarding the safety of this person in secret. As he knew, he was everywhere beside him, and there were always many double-sighted eyes observing his every move in secret.
