Chapter 177 Do you know how your parents died?
The orphan girl exclaimed in shock, "No...no way?" She couldn't believe that the refined man in front of her could be such a heartless and insane person.
Yu Zhiyi glanced at her: "Perhaps you have heard of a shocking family annihilation case that occurred thirty years ago, and the murderer in that case was a member of this family. On the night he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the murderer killed all seven members of his family. He escaped the day after he was arrested, and even killed the official in charge of escorting him."
The orphan girl exclaimed again, "I...I've heard of it."
She stared in astonishment, her eyes widening.
"How could Uncle Miao be such a vicious person? Impossible!"
Yu Zhiyi looked at her with a strange expression: "Do you know how your parents died?"
"Huh?" The orphan was stunned. "Didn't they die of illness?"
After the family settled in the county town, the parents' health never improved.
My mother, in particular, has been getting sicker every day since she got caught in the rain, and no amount of medicine has helped.
After three years of perseverance, his mother passed away.
Less than a year after my mother's death, my father's health deteriorated rapidly due to depression, and he passed away not long after.
"no."
Yu Zhiyi looked coldly at Li Qingmiao: "It was your Uncle Miao who killed him."
"What?!" The orphan girl exclaimed in disbelief.
She couldn't accept it: "This is impossible!"
Yu Zhiyi wasn't surprised that she didn't believe her. She said calmly, "Your parents must have stated in public more than once that they would never let you have anything to do with Li Qingmiao, right? They even warned you in public that unless they were both dead, there would be absolutely no possibility between you and Li Qingmiao."
"How...how did you know?"
These things happened several years ago, and in fact, even she herself had forgotten about them.
It wasn't until Yu Zhiyi brought it up that she retrieved it from the corner of her memory.
"This is why he killed your parents."
"This person is extremely vengeful. Although he occasionally exudes charm over you, making you deeply infatuated with him, he feels that he has never made any promises to you. However, your parents have repeatedly expressed their dislike for him in public, which means they look down on him."
"Ever since he killed his own family, he has taken to taking revenge on his enemies in their most vulnerable places."
"Didn't your parents say they wouldn't let you be with her even if they died? But he just had to seduce you after they died."
"Then, when you think happiness has arrived, they will kill you."
The orphan girl recalled the scene of the man in black stabbing her with a knife, and shook her head, covering her mouth: "Why? My parents didn't like him, but they only stopped me from being with him; they never made things difficult for him. Why was he so cruel? And even if he hates my parents, what does it have to do with me?"
Yu Zhiyi sighed: "Because of your existence, your parents targeted him, so he hates you too."
"But...but didn't my parents die of illness?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "No, they were all poisoned to death."
The orphan girl exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! How could this be!"
"Your parents both found work outside to support the family. Your father worked as an accountant, and your mother did laundry. They were away from home for a lot of time every day."
"Later, your mother fell ill and could no longer work, but your father still had to go to work. You took your mother's place and went to wash clothes to earn money. Li Qingmiao stole a key from you, had a craftsman make a duplicate, and then, when you were both away, added a slow-acting poison to your mother's medicine packet."
"The poison isn't very potent; taking it once or twice won't cause any problems, as it will be eliminated automatically quickly. However, if you take it every day, the toxins will not only fail to be eliminated but will also accumulate in your body. As the toxins accumulate, one day the body can no longer tolerate the toxicity, leading to death."
"Your father also died from this slow-acting poison. But this time, he put the poison directly into the tea that your father loved to drink."
This person is very goal-oriented.
To kill the orphan girl's mother, they simply poisoned her medicine.
To kill her father, she only poisoned the tea he drank, because she knew the orphan girl didn't like tea and usually drank plain water.
Therefore, although the orphan girl spent almost every day with poison in the period before her parents died, she was hardly affected.
“Speaking of which, you’ve actually come into contact with that poison before.” Yu Zhiyi looked at the orphan’s face and suddenly said, “Once you saw Li Qingmiao drinking tea and thought his posture was elegant and composed, so you tried to imitate him and started drinking tea too.”
“And during that time, you felt very uncomfortable every day.” The orphan swayed.
Many things that were overlooked in the past are now beginning to emerge.
Besides, only a few years have passed, not decades.
The orphan girl occasionally sighed when talking to her close friends about her parents' deaths. She said that she was also feeling unwell around the time her father passed away. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have failed to notice her father's condition sooner, and perhaps he wouldn't have died.
The physical discomfort she experienced during that period has always been a thorn in her side!
She thought it was just a simple feeling of discomfort, but she never expected...
"Doctor Yu, you can't solve cases just by talking, can you? You can just utter a few words and convict someone? If so, I'll have to question your abilities and the fairness of the cases you've solved in the past."
Li Qingmiao looked at Yu Zhiyi with suspicion: "Could it be that all of those were wrongful convictions?"
"You can't use the tactic of shifting blame to escape punishment. It's useless. The Court of Judicial Review always emphasizes evidence when handling cases. Without evidence, no matter how eloquently you speak, the Minister of Judicial Review will not stamp the case and close it."
And it's not difficult to find out if what I'm saying is true or false; all that's needed is to exhume the body and perform an autopsy. Even though the deceased has been dead for several years, that doesn't prevent an autopsy, because in cases of poisoning, the toxins will show up in the bones and won't fade no matter how many years pass.”
Li Qingmiao's face showed a moment of panic, but she still tried to remain calm: "You think you can just open the coffin like that? That's a huge disrespect to the deceased!"
Yu Zhiyi didn't dwell on the issue with him, but instead asked the orphan girl, "Miss Wei, don't you want to get justice for your parents?"
Miss Wei was somewhat stunned.
Of course she wanted to know the truth!
However, I'm also afraid that the truth might really be as Lord Yu said.
Doesn't that mean she killed her parents?
However, her parents opposed her being with Li Qingmiao, but it was for her own good...
Seeing the changing expressions on Miss Wei's face, Li Qingmiao felt anxious.
No matter what, he couldn't let her agree!
He wanted to persuade her to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't speak.
So he could only watch helplessly as Miss Wei, after Yu Zhiyi's repeated persuasion, parted her red lips slightly and said, "I agree."
