Chapter 1036: Enduring Humiliation and the Dancer of the Republic of China (11)

"Boss Shi, a group of people came to our pharmacy and left a dead body outside the door, saying that he died from taking the medicine sold in our pharmacy. They want you to compensate for his life..." Xu Jing rushed to the pharmaceutical factory to find Shi Chu, and said in a panic.

Shi Chu immediately frowned, put down the test tube in his hand, and asked, "What happened? Did the deceased really sell medicine in our pharmacy? Did you ask a doctor to see what the cause of death was?"

Xu Jing quickly replied, "The deceased did buy antipyretic pills from our pharmacy yesterday. The shopkeeper recognized him, but I don't know if he died from taking our medicine. I came to you when they started making trouble and I couldn't persuade them. I don't know if they went to see a doctor."

"There can't be anything wrong with our medicine." Shi Chu said with a cold face. Although she was usually cold-hearted and had no compassion for the people, she disdained to do disgusting things like cutting corners or passing inferior products off as good ones. What's more, she had earned enough money in her life, and there was no need for her to destroy the reputation of her pharmacy for money. She still had professional ethics.

Shi Chu told the manager of the pharmaceutical factory to keep an eye on the factory, and then followed Xu Jing to his own pharmacy. As expected, before they arrived, they saw from afar that the entrance of the pharmacy was surrounded by people watching the fun.

"What this drugstore sells now is fake medicine! Poison! It killed my man! They take human life lightly, people like this deserve to be struck by lightning... Where is the owner of the drugstore? Get out now and compensate my man's life..." A sharp middle-aged female voice was crying and cursing at the door of the drugstore.

Shi Chu listened to these vicious words with a cold face, and walked quickly to the group of people in three or two steps. When the drugstore clerk who kept defending the drugstore saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly shouted: "Boss, you are here!"

"Boss? Who is the profiteer who takes people's lives lightly?" Upon hearing this, the wailing woman immediately got up from Disang and asked the pharmacy clerk fiercely. Following his gaze, she saw Shi Chu.

"Are you the owner of this pharmacy? You are so vicious at such a young age, selling fake medicine and killing people! You have to pay for my man's life!" As soon as the woman saw Shi Chu, she rushed forward angrily and wanted to grab her collar and start fighting. Then her relatives also gathered around and wanted to help.

"Hey! Don't be impulsive! Although your man did buy medicine from our pharmacy, he only bought ordinary antipyretic pills, which are not poisonous at all. Many people have bought them. Why did nothing happen to others but only yours did? You are not trying to blackmail our pharmacy, are you?" Xu Jing said immediately upon seeing this.

The people around him nodded and said, "That's true. I bought a bottle of fever-reducing pills here before, and my son was fine after taking a few. Who knows what happened to this person who died?"

"That's right. The Shi family's pharmacy has been open for such a long time and sells so many medicines. If there really is a problem, how could this be the only one that has a problem?"

…

The people around were not fools. They thought that what these people said was the truth. The medicine shop opened by Shichu really had good quality and low prices. Who among the people around had not benefited from this medicine shop?

"How come it's not your problem? My husband died after taking the antipyretic pills sold in your pharmacy! He didn't take anything before he died. What else could be possible except that there is something wrong with your medicine?" A relative of the deceased glared at Shi Chu.

Just as Shi Chu was about to speak, the deceased's wife reached out and tried to scratch her face. Her face suddenly darkened, and she instantly grabbed her arm and said, "Stop it! If you don't want your hand to break."

Then he pushed her out fiercely, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground. The woman was stunned at first, then she pounded the ground and cried, shouting, "This is so unfair! The Shi family's pharmacy killed someone, and they still beat people! They are so tyrannical and take human lives lightly..."

When the other family members saw the woman being pushed to the ground by Shi Chu, they became even more angry and immediately shouted, "He killed someone and still dared to beat him! Beat him to death and avenge Er Gou!"

So a group of men attacked Shi Chu, each of them was furious and did not hold back at all, as if they would not stop until they killed Shi Chu.

When the clerk in the drugstore and Xu Jing saw what was happening, they hurried forward to help their boss. In an instant, a large group of people started fighting. It was a mess and they were in a panic, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly.

In the end, Shi Chu was the most reliable. Although those men were vicious, they only had strength but no fighting skills, and were soon knocked down by Shi Chu's cleverness. The clerk in the drugstore did not play any role at all. Instead, because he was squeezed in the crowd, he was accidentally bumped by elbows or stepped on by others. Xu Jing's hair was also messed up, making her look like a crazy woman. However, she was very smart. Seeing that the wife of the deceased wanted to get up to help because her relatives were useless, she stopped her.

After Shi Chu dealt with a few strong men, he saw Xu Jing, who was being held in a very awkward position by the deceased's wife. He hurried over to help and tied the man up in no time.

"Boss, should we go to the government? These people look like they want to cause trouble and blackmail us." Xu Jing asked, tidying up her messy hair.

"Go ahead, and find an old doctor. If the government has a coroner, please ask him to come." Shi Chu nodded. Isn't the government here the county magistrate of Lincheng, Chen Daofa? Although she didn't have much hope for this county magistrate, she had to inform the government anyway since something happened at the door of her pharmacy.

Xu Jing rushed to report to the police and look for someone.

Shi Chu tied up all the troublemakers and asked his men to watch over them. Other onlookers had not left yet and were watching with great interest, so Shi Chu did not chase them away.

The family members of the deceased were still cursing, but Shi Chu ignored them and squatted down to check on the condition of the deceased.

She had traveled through time to a world before and worked as a forensic pathologist, so she still had that little knowledge. After digging that knowledge out from the depths of her consciousness, Shi Chu began to investigate the cause of death.

The deceased was a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium build, with a dark green face, many wrinkles on his face, thick joints in his hands and feet, and rough skin. He was obviously an ordinary farmer.

But his lips were purple-black, unlike the dull grayish white of ordinary dead bodies, which made him look unusual at first glance. The nails on his hands and feet were also blue-black.

Shi Chu put on gloves and checked the mouth, ears, nose and eyes of the deceased. He found a small amount of blood, a swollen tongue, and signs of blisters and ulcers on the inner wall of the lips.

With just a cursory inspection, Shi Chu knew exactly why he died. With such obvious symptoms of arsenic poisoning, did these people think she was a fool? And they dared to come and say that he died from taking the antipyretic pills from her shop? Her antipyretic pills did not contain arsenic.
