Chapter 495 Murder Case
Jiang Zhizhi was also puzzled, as Li Simin had previously said that he didn't want children for the time being.
Given Li Simin's cautious nature, how could Shen Luojia be pregnant? Later, it was speculated that the quality of the small balloons might be poor.
Or like her and Zhou Xiye, when they were infatuated, they forgot to use it.
Unexpectedly, it was Shen Luojia herself who pricked herself with a needle.
Some were both amused and exasperated: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Shen Luojia was also somewhat distressed: "I went to that family planning class, and the staff taught me how to wear it, and also said what kind of things can't be used, and that you can't poke a hole with a needle, because then it can't be used."
“I told Li Simin that I wanted a baby, and he said he didn’t want one right now, so I had a sudden inspiration…”
Jiang Zhizhi was delighted, becoming even more certain that Shen Luojia was indeed quite clever.
However, the mysterious poison in her body left her feeling like a headless fly, completely clueless.
I kept thinking about this even when I was trying to sleep at night.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Fang Hua noticed Jiang Zhizhi's severe dark circles and glanced at his son, who looked calm and healthy. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Zhizhi, you've finally had a few days off, so you must get a good night's sleep."
Seeing Fang Hua's hesitant expression, Jiang Zhizhi knew she had misunderstood and laughed, "I'm going to sleep. I've just been a little worried these past two days because of Sister-in-law Luo Jia's situation. I'm so happy that I've forgotten about her unusual physical condition."
"I don't know if this poison will have any effect on the child. If it does, what will happen to the child?"
The most difficult thing is that there aren't many diagnostic instruments available now, so it's impossible to determine whether the fetus is healthy or not.
Fang Hua exclaimed, "I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, but since it's poison, there must be a way to cure it, right? There are no such things as nothing in this world without a reason."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "But I haven't studied this before, and I don't know where to start. I've looked up a lot of information. There aren't any experts like this in Beijing."
Fang Hua suddenly exclaimed, "Yesterday, I went to your uncle's house and heard them talking about a strange person and a strange story. They were talking about this kind of Gu poison from the south, and that there are still people who raise Gu even now."
"Oh, by the way, I also heard that there's an old man in Nanyuan who knows about this."
Jiang Zhizhi immediately became interested: "Nanyuan? Where exactly is it? I want to go look for it."
Fang Hua exclaimed, "There were too many people around, so I just listened to it as a story and forgot to ask for details. But it's a relative of your aunt's family. I'll ask you for the exact address tomorrow."
Jiang Zhizhi now felt like she was trying anything as a last resort.
Fang Hua was puzzled again: "That's very strange. If it was a Gu poison, how come Song Wanying and Luo Jia were both infected? They weren't together at the time. Who poisoned them?"
"Also, Song Wanying wasn't diagnosed before, so how could she have been poisoned this year? She doesn't have any enemies, does she?"
Jiang Zhizhi wasn't sure either: "Let's ask first, then we'll give it a try."
Fang Hua nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask in a bit if I can't."
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was in a hurry, Fang Hua hurriedly left after eating breakfast.
He didn't return until the afternoon, and as soon as he came in, he called out to Jiang Zhizhi, "Oh my god, after asking around, I finally found someone. I don't know if they're reliable or not. I heard they're not a very easy person to talk to."
He handed the note with the address to Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Go and try it. I think as long as it doesn't affect your life, you probably don't need to worry about it."
Jiang Zhizhi was also unsure: "As it stands, it doesn't seem to have any impact on Luo Jia, but my mother's health has deteriorated significantly, and her memory is also poor. She's in a daze all the time."
Fang Hua thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give it a try. We'll always find a way if we keep trying."
It was too late, so Jiang Zhizhi planned to go early the next morning.
Zhou Xiye was still on vacation, and he went out with Jiang Zhizhi early the next morning.
The two of them had to sneak out, and if Shangshang and Xiaozhou saw them, they would make a scene for ages.
The compound is not far from Nanyuan; it takes about half an hour by bus.
Right now, there are still many farmlands and bungalows in Nanyuan.
After getting off the bus, you still have to walk a long way.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the address and was a little puzzled: "Why is it so far? I've been walking for ages and still haven't gotten there."
We also passed a textile factory and a tractor factory, and then turned into a long street.
Thanks to Zhou Xiye for coming along, he was quite familiar with the area and led Jiang Zhizhi around for half an hour before finally finding the place.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard. The gate was ajar, and the snow in the courtyard hadn't been cleared; it was a thick layer.
It looks like it hasn't been lived in all winter.
Jiang Zhizhi was a little puzzled: "Are you sure this is the place? The yard is deserted, there isn't even a footprint."
Zhou Xiye was also puzzled. He glanced around sharply and pulled Jiang Zhizhi back a little: "Let's go and find out first."
The two went to ask their neighbor in the front yard, who looked at them warily.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure. We have no contact with this family and don't know where they went."
Seeing that the other party clearly knew something but was unwilling to say more, Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye.
Zhou Xiye did not press further, politely thanked her, and gestured for Jiang Zhizhi to leave first.
After the two left, Zhou Xiye said to Jiang Zhizhi, "The person we're looking for is probably no longer here."
Jiang Zhizhi asked in surprise, "How could that be?"
Zhou Xiye frowned: "We'll go find Brother Song in a bit and ask him to help us investigate. Did you notice just now that there was a lot of lime sprinkled at the entrance of that courtyard, and also under the eaves?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head. She had only noticed that the ground was covered in snow, indicating that no one had lived there all winter.
After Zhou Xiye's reminder, he suddenly realized: "You mean... this lime is used to cover up some germs, which means someone in this house died a violent death and the body was not discovered for a long time?"
Zhou Xiye nodded: "There are also knife marks on the door. Let's go find Brother Song to take a look first."
The people at the branch office didn't recognize him, so they had to go directly to Song Dong.
Jiang Zhizhi sighed inwardly. She originally wanted to find someone, but how did it turn into a case?
Song Dong happened to be in his office when he heard Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi's purpose for coming. He immediately called the branch office below and asked them to transfer the case file to him.
While waiting, Song Dong brewed tea for the two of them, smiling and saying, "Now that we're both in Beijing, it's not so easy to see you."
“I’ve been quite busy lately. I didn’t even get a break during the Chinese New Year. Your sister-in-law said she wanted to invite you all over for dinner, but we haven’t had time yet.”
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "We were planning to take the kids to wish you a Happy New Year, but we were worried that you would be too busy during the holiday."
Song Dong sighed: "It's really busy. The number of cases in the last two years, especially around the Lunar New Year, is more than in the previous ten years, and they are all major criminal cases."
After chatting for more than half an hour, the branch office sent someone to deliver the case file.
Song Dong opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhou Xiye: "It really is a murder case."
