Chapter 538: For the first time, I felt a little sorry for the criminal
There are several pots of orchids in the study.
The orchid has just been watered and the soil is moist.
Xie Yingmian casually made a mud ball the size of a Black Chicken and White Phoenix Pill and handed it to Shen Tingsi: "Here, the antidote."
Shen Tingsi: ...
Mu Hu, who was lying on the ground, could not see Xie Yingmian's movements, but Shen Tingsi saw them clearly.
The veins on Shen Tingsi's forehead jumped several times: "Is this the antidote?"
Xie Yingmian: "Is there a problem?"
Shen Tingsi: “No problem.”
He threw it to Mu Hu with an expressionless face.
Mu Hu was overjoyed and put the antidote in his mouth to savor it carefully.
The antidote has a strong earthy smell, and tastes like soil in the mouth, and also has a smell of compost mixed with animals and plants.
Mu Hu wanted to vomit, but he couldn't bear to do so. He gritted his teeth and swallowed while dry heaving.
I forced myself to finish it, and after the mud pill entered my mouth, my stomach churned.
Mu Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore and kept dry heaving, as if he was going to vomit out his stomach.
Shen Tingsi looked at Mu Hu, who was curled up in a ball, and for the first time felt a little pity for this vicious criminal.
Shen Tingsi asked someone to give Mu Hu a glass of water.
Mu Hu was moved to tears.
Good person!
For the first time in his life, he felt that there were good people in the Six Punishments Department.
Mu Hu drank the water in gulps to suppress the discomfort in his stomach.
"Sir Shen, I did it, I admit it." Mu Hu said,
"I did act on orders, but they were verbal orders. I didn't leave any evidence. You can only arrest me. You have no evidence to prove that I am related to the Mu family."
"As for why the Feng family was destroyed, I don't know either."
"I'm from the Mu family's side branch. My brother and I do the dirty work for the Mu family. I never ask why, and the Mu family won't let me know."
"I've said everything I need to say." Mu Hu closed his eyes.
"You can kill me or chop me up, but please let me die quickly."
Shen Tingsi has interrogated countless prisoners.
He could tell from Mu Hu's micro-expressions and movements that Mu Hu was not lying.
Yu Lingye said, "Twenty years have passed since the case began, and with a lack of key evidence, the Mu family might try to shift the blame onto the personal grudges between Mu Hu and the Feng family."
Xie Yingmian: "Mu Hu is indeed the best scapegoat."
Shen Tingsi did not express his opinion.
He had Mu Hu imprisoned.
When Mu Hu heard that Shen Tingsi was going to lock him up, he trembled: “Wait a moment, wait a little longer.”
"It's almost a quarter of an hour."
"Wait a quarter of an hour, until I'm sure the antidote is effective. I'd even let you die."
Shen Tingsi looked at Xie Yingmian, asking with his eyes whether the antidote was reliable.
Xie Yingmian gave Shen Tingsi a reassuring look.
A quarter of an hour later.
The terrifying three minutes did not come again, and Mu Hu finally felt relieved.
He had almost lost all his strength and lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, waiting for someone to drag him away.
After clearing out the people nearby, Shen Tingsicai said, "There's a twist in the Feng family case."
"The turning point was the beggar mother and son. They were very wary and refused to say anything even after I revealed my identity."
"The news of Mu Hu's arrest will soon reach the Mu family. With the power of the Mu family, they will soon investigate Doctor Qian and the beggar mother and son."
"I brought them here to protect them."
"She's very wary of people." Shen Tingsi said to Xie Yingmian, "Please try to approach her later."
Shen Tingsi ordered people to bring the beggar mother and son over.
The beggar mother and son snuggled together, trembling with fear in their eyes.
The little beggar looked to be about ten years old. He was not dirty, but his face was dark. He was very thin and small, with only a pair of round eyes.
He looks quite energetic.
The beggar's mother was sickly, her hair was dry and yellow, and she was emaciated. From a distance, she looked like a pile of living bones.
She has beautiful eyes, the almond-shaped eyes that are very popular in Shangjing.
If it weren't for her sunken cheeks affecting her appearance, she would have been a typical beauty.
"Don't be afraid." Xie Yingmian said, "Do you know Doctor Qian? We are Doctor Qian's friends."
When the beggar mother heard the words "Doctor Qian", the fear and vigilance in her eyes did not lessen at all, but instead increased a little.
"Are you Dr. Qian's friends?"
Xie Yingmian said softly, "Yes."
"Did Dr. Qian tell you that he works at a clinic called Affordable Medical Clinic?"
The beggar mother and son nodded.
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "I am the director of the affordable medical clinic."
"Early this morning, Doctor Qian came to take your pulse and examine you. In order to repay Doctor Qian, did you give him a bronze mirror?"
When the beggar's mother heard this, her anxious heart suddenly relaxed.
Only the three of them knew that she had given the bronze mirror to Doctor Qian.
Doctor Qian wouldn't tell anyone about such a small matter.
This noble woman in front of me should be someone who is acquainted with Doctor Qian.
"Doctor Qian, where is he?"
Xie Yingmian: "He was injured. Someone stabbed him in the heart with a flying knife."
The beggar's mother's face turned pale in an instant.
His already frail body was shaky, tears streaming down his face, his lips trembling constantly: "He... is dead?"
