Because the latter is not visible on the outside, it is often an internal injury.

The internal injuries might only become apparent at night, leading to a sudden death.

The minister was the same; he appeared energetic and powerful, and even his speech was responsive, as if he had abundant energy.

However, Zhou Yi still sensed something unusual from his expression and tone of voice.

Zhou Yi simply shared his observations, but no one believed him.

The minister thought Zhou Yi would say something, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to just be alarmist and even try to use his medical skills to swindle people? How ridiculous!

He chuckled and said, "Zhou Yi, what kind of person do you take me for? It seems you only managed to fool Leader Yang with your smooth talk."

"I think you shouldn't pretend to be a miracle doctor, you should pretend to be a fortune teller. I will definitely develop a hidden illness within three days. Oh, I forgot to tell you, at my level, I have a physical examination every month, and the test results are excellent!"

"The people I hate most in this life are those who pretend to be mystical or supernatural."

As the minister spoke the last sentence, his expression clearly changed, turning as dark as a storm about to break, with rolling black clouds.

"Alright, no need to interrogate you anymore, you're so stubborn!"

"Just sign it honestly."

The minister walked back to the table, placed his hands on it, and said to the two police officers in an undeniable tone, "Zhou Yi is a fraudster who tried to get close to Leader Yang under the guise of a miracle doctor."

"But they lack genuine ingredients and don't know that improper combinations of Chinese herbs can cause toxicity..."

The minister convicted Zhou Yi in just a few words. In a normal case, this crime would only result in a maximum of two years in prison.

But this time Zhou Yi harmed the wife of a high-ranking official, so that crime is much more serious.

Therefore, if Zhou Yi signs this confession, he will serve at least ten years in prison, and there will be no way to appeal.

After all, this is an interrogation conducted by the Ministry of National Defense!

The police officer quickly wrote down Zhou Yi's crime on a piece of paper, then placed the confession in front of Zhou Yi and asked him to sign it.

Zhou Yi glanced at it and almost laughed in anger: "I won't sign!"

"I already told you, I was framed. I can guarantee that the Chinese medicinal herbs I used will not have any incompatible properties."

There must be some misunderstanding here!

"Minister, are you suggesting that the facts are based solely on your speculation? Just because I didn't study medicine in college doesn't mean I can't practice medicine?"

No matter how Zhou Yi refused to sign, the minister didn't care, because there were plenty of ways to get Zhou Yi to sign obediently.

Without the minister even speaking, the police officers below grabbed Zhou Yi's hand and made him sign the document.

"I advise you to be honest."

“We’re busy dealing with espionage cases; we don’t have time to interrogate you here.”

"What we just gave you was the mildest electric shock. If we had treated you like a spy, you wouldn't have a single patch of skin on your body."

Zhou Yi was tied up and unable to exert his full strength, while the police officer who grabbed his hand was clearly specially trained.

The police officer pressed his elbow directly onto Zhou Yi's nerve endings, leaving Zhou Yi powerless to resist. He could only let the officer hold his hand and write the two characters "Zhou Yi" on it.

Then the police officer brought out a red mud stamp, pulled Zhou Yi's index finger over, stuck it with the red mud stamp, and pressed it onto the confession.

After doing all this, the minister didn't even look at Zhou Yi, and turned to walk out.

If it weren't for Leader Yang personally assigning this task, given his status, he wouldn't have appeared here in person at all.

After all, he is really busy.

Therefore, after reviewing Zhou Yi's information and understanding his motives, the minister decided to quickly convict and have Zhou Yi sign the confession.

The entire interrogation was completed in less than half an hour.

Just as the minister was about to step out of the interrogation room, Zhou Yi's voice rang out from behind him, this time, it was clearly colder: "Minister, you said my medical skills are fake."

"But I'm certain that your illness will relapse within three days, and at that time, no doctor in the entire capital will be able to save you!"

"I will wait for you to come to me!"

"Only I can cure the disease in your body!"

The minister let out a cryptic laugh, his expression clearly one of sarcasm and disbelief, before quickly disappearing from the interrogation room doorway.

“You have already confessed, why say such vicious things to curse the minister?”

"I advise you to tone it down. Even if you're going to talk nonsense, you should at least pick the right person. Look at the minister, he's full of energy, he doesn't look sick at all."

"You said I was sick, and I believed you. But if you said the minister was sick, who would believe that?" One of the police officers had never seen such a stupid criminal before, and his face was full of distrust and mockery.

Zhou Yi was expected to be defeated, but to everyone's surprise, he looked up at the police officer seriously and said, "You have a bit of bronchitis, nothing serious."

The officer raised an eyebrow, stood up, and looked him over, saying, "Not bad, you noticed that."

"I do have bronchitis, and your fortune telling was quite accurate."

"But even if it's accurate, it's useless."

While talking to Zhou Yi, the police officer locked him in a solitary confinement cell.

Because Zhou Yi was not a spy, and because he unintentionally poisoned the wife of a high-ranking official, the detention center he was in was not of a high rank, and it was not illegal to allow people to visit him.

However, those who are imprisoned here, unless they have powerful connections, will not easily allow anyone to visit them.

After learning that Zhou Yi was imprisoned here, Shen Bingyan used some powerful connections to get in and visit him.

Even if they got in through connections, the two only had ten minutes to chat.

"Zhou Yi, how are you? Have the guards here done anything to you?"

Zhou Yi looked at Shen Bingyan sitting opposite him. Although her expression was very aloof, her eyes revealed a deep worry, which made him smile bitterly.

The two never expected to meet formally for the first time in a prison cell.

"Bingyan, don't worry about me, I'll be out soon."

Zhou Yi moved his lips, wanting to say a thousand words to Shen Bingyan, but in the end he only comforted her and told her not to worry about him.

Shen Bingyan didn't exchange pleasantries with Zhou Yi, but nodded and began to say, "My family has some connections in Kyoto, and I can help you investigate what happened that day."

"I believe you are not an incompetent person who is just pretending to be someone else, and you would not be so foolish as to poison the wife of a high-ranking official."

"Think back carefully, are there any details you've overlooked?"

"Or you can tell me about the process, and then we can review it to see what we missed."

The information Shen Bingyan discovered was that the medicine Zhou Yi prescribed for the wives of high-ranking officials was poisonous.

Some people think that Zhou Yi's medical skills are not good enough and that he is just a charlatan.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that Zhou Yi was acting on someone's orders, and that this was murder.
