Time: 11:20 PM, November 18th
Qin Wen, dressed in a white lab coat, hadn't even had time to straighten the wrinkles in her clothes before pushing open Li Nan's office door.
Li Nan was eating instant noodles and quickly covered her face.
"What was the result?"
Qin Wen glanced at Li Nan and said, "All you do is hog food!"
"All the nutrients are in the soup. Come on, honey, have a sip of this nourishing soup!"
"roll!"
"An autopsy confirmed that Wang Zihe did indeed die from stomach cramps."
Qin Wen sat down and tossed the autopsy report in her hand to Li Nan.
"But the causes of stomach cramps aren't just limited to drinking alcohol and eating popsicles!"
Li Nan flipped through the report. "Sodium hypochlorite? How come there's this in his gastrointestinal samples?"
"Not just the stomach and intestines, but also the mouth!"
"I heard from Brother Gao that Wang Zihe doesn't have the habit of eating breakfast. That means..."
Li Nan was momentarily speechless and could only stare blankly at Qin Wen. Yes, sodium hypochlorite, a common disinfectant, who would put it in their mouth?
Qin Wen gave Li Nan a disdainful look. "Look at you! If you're so capable, say it yourself!"
"The goji berries in the cup have been tampered with; solid sodium hypochlorite powder has been injected into them. These goji berries will dissolve in large quantities into bodily fluids after prolonged soaking or chewing."
"The test results showed that the concentration of sodium hypochlorite in Wang Zihe's stomach cavity reached 10 milligrams per liter. Although it did not reach the lethal dose, it was enough to cause stomach cramps in someone with a fragile stomach like Wang Zihe!"
"Furthermore, the temperature of this cup is also problematic. As I mentioned this morning, my colleague was even frozen when he arrived at the scene, which is not normal!"
Qin Wen paused for a moment, looked at Li Nan's eager expression, and smiled with satisfaction.
He continued, "There is a large amount of carbon dioxide residue in the cup, as well as some edible capsule residue!"
"Dry ice! Dry ice encapsulated in capsules!"
Li Nan gave Qin Wen a big thumbs up for the test results!
Are you praising me, or praising the murderer?
Qin Wen quickly explained, "Of course it's my incredibly smart little wife!"
Qin Wen slapped Qin Wen's hair hard. "You're the one who's bald! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't say anything more. You can see for yourself!"
Li Nan made a zipper-like motion, signaling Qin Wen to continue her performance.
"The key is the composition of this liquor. I've analyzed it several times, and the residue in the glass is indeed a high-concentration liquor, around 40 degrees. But what's strange is that Wang Zihe couldn't smell it when he drank it?"
"Furthermore, the witness said that he seemed to see him vomit. What kind of high-proof liquor can't be smelled and will cause vomiting after drinking it?"
Upon hearing this, a thunderbolt flashed through Li Nan's mind. This must be the inspiration the master had mentioned about the police.
"He didn't drink ordinary strong liquor, and he didn't vomit because he drank alcohol!"
What is that?
The conversation between several classmates during my time at police academy came to mind!
"Hehe, this is a real gem! It's practically colorless and odorless. Just one drop can instantly turn any fruit drink into a cocktail!"
"What is so magical?"
"A product from the Russian Bear is guaranteed to be of the highest quality! A peerless 96-proof spirit!"
Back to reality, Li Nan slowly spoke: "The Water of Life!"
"The water of life? A type of water?"
"It's not water, it's a special drink with 96% alcohol content. It's produced in Russia and is generally not drunk directly, but rather mixed with other beverages to make cocktails. It's said that the pure water of life is almost colorless and tasteless, but if a daring person accidentally drinks it, their esophagus and stomach will be almost instantly dehydrated, and the word 'miserable' doesn't even begin to describe it."
Li Nan was still reminiscing about her youthful days, but Qin Wen, standing beside her, asked with ill intent, "Didn't you say you couldn't drink? How do you know so much? You big liar!"
"Hehe, hehe, a former colleague told me that!"
Which colleague?
"Hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists! No, no..."
The case of Wang Zihe has been sorted out quite clearly.
It was a homicide. The murderer must be someone familiar to Prince He, someone who is proficient in chemistry and has extremely strong practical skills.
The image of a familiar person kept surfacing in Li Nan's mind.
"But Wang Zihe is a bad person with a bad temper. He has offended a lot of people through the financial fraud case a few years ago. The scope is a bit wide."
Li Nan scratched his head, finally managing to persuade Qin Wen to leave. He then picked up the phone and began arranging the follow-up work.
In modern society, when in doubt, we just watch surveillance footage.
"Xiao Ma, come here for a second. What, you're already asleep? Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot the time. You can go back to sleep then, we'll talk tomorrow when we get to work."
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan glanced at the Heart-Nourishing Tea on the table. Could drinking too much of this stuff damage the brain?
But, is it okay not to drink it?
The next day, after assigning tasks, Li Nan lay back in her work chair and sighed, "Another busy day!"
Ma Jie contacted the traffic police to retrieve surveillance footage from the vicinity of the Sifang construction site.
Yang Bairong brought Liu Xiangdong back last night and left him in the detention center all night. The little guy kept shouting that he was innocent.
It was difficult to search at night, so as soon as the meeting ended, Yang Bairong led the rest of the Anding Division to the Normal University to search for evidence.
Li Na and her colleagues from the North Suburb Patrol went to the archives to hand over the documents.
I was busy all day yesterday and wasn't in a good mood, so I didn't hand in my homework properly to Qin Wen. Now Qin Wen is very angry and has locked herself in the dissection room.
