Chapter 177 "I know who the murderer might be!"
"What?!"
Wen Duo was struck by lightning and could hardly believe her ears:
"Poisoned? What happened?"
The bodyguard quickly explained:
"The food at the dinner party outside was poisoned! Many servants who ate it showed symptoms of poisoning, and the doctor also ate it. Now the situation is very serious! We are doing our best to track down the person who poisoned it, but currently..."
Wen Duo's mind went blank, and fear instantly overwhelmed her like a cold tide.
"Ji Huaishen! He, he ate it too! He said he was allergic, is that also a symptom of poisoning?!"
Wen Duo's voice trembled with despair:
"What should we do? Is there any doctor? Who else can save him?!"
The bodyguard was shocked by her panic and despair. He tried to remain calm and thought quickly. Suddenly, he remembered someone:
"Yes! There's another one! Miss Chen Yuwei! Because her husband said that she could leave when the weather improved, she was packing her luggage and didn't eat."
Wen Duo was stunned.
Chen Yuwei is the heroine of this cool novel, and she is very proficient in medical skills!
As if grabbing a life-saving straw in the endless darkness, Wen Duo almost didn't hesitate at all and immediately grabbed the bodyguard's arm, his voice trembling with extreme anxiety:
"Take me to her! Quick!"
.........
Wen Duo and the bodyguard hurried to the infirmary. When she pushed open the door of the infirmary, the scene in front of her made her hold her breath instantly.
The smell of disinfectant was covered by a sour and rotten smell, and the originally spacious medical room now seemed crowded.
The beds were filled with servants groaning and groaning with painful expressions, and makeshift cushions were scattered on the floor.
Some people were lying on it vomiting violently, trying to clear the poison from their stomachs.
The whole scene was chaotic and depressing.
And in this mess, a thin but extremely calm figure was moving around.
Chen Yuwei rolled up her sleeves, sweat dripping from her forehead, and was concentrating on giving acupuncture to an unconscious servant.
Her movements were fast, accurate, and steady, with an unquestionable professionalism.
The patient who received the acupuncture woke up after a while.
"Sister Yuwei!"
Wen Duo didn't care about anything else and almost rushed over, his voice urgent:
"Hurry! Ji Huaishen...he seems to have been poisoned too! He said he can't breathe, his throat is tight, and his body is itchy, like he has an allergy!"
Chen Yuwei was giving acupuncture to another person when Wen Duo came over. She raised her head only after quickly placing the last needle.
Seeing Wen Duo's pale face and eyes filled with tears, her eyes fixed and she immediately asked:
"allergy?"
The symptoms of this poison do not include tightness in the throat or itching on the body, and as the president, Ji Huaishen knows his body very well.
If he said he was allergic, it is most likely an allergy.
Thinking of the murderer who had not been caught, Chen Yuwei asked calmly:
"Do you know what he's allergic to?"
Wen Duo's mind was in a mess. She tried hard to recall, and a fragment from the depths of her memory suddenly flashed. She said hurriedly:
"Chrysanthemums! He's allergic to chrysanthemums! He mentioned that once before!"
"chrysanthemum?"
Chen Yuwei's brows suddenly furrowed, and her eyes instantly became sharp:
"so....."
She muttered to herself, then suddenly looked up as if struck by an idea.
He glanced at the chaotic infirmary and said to Wen Duo and the bodyguard beside him in a hurried but clear tone:
"I know who the murderer might be!"
In the astonished eyes of the two, Chen Yuwei quickly explained:
"In the chaos just now, I saw a male servant who wasn't poisoned but was helping out. When I approached him, I smelled a very faint scent of dried chrysanthemums. He said he was going to help others and then left in a hurry."
Chen Yuwei told him the man's detailed personal characteristics. The bodyguard's face turned serious and he immediately understood:
“So it was him…”
Then, he looked at Chen Yuwei with gratitude and immediately said:
"Thank you for the information, Miss Chen. I'll take someone to check it out right away!"
He turned around and quickly gave orders to several bodyguards who were not poisoned. They slipped out of the infirmary as quietly but swiftly as cheetahs and began searching and arresting.
"Let's go!"
Chen Yuwei didn't bother to say anything more. She grabbed a spare first aid kit on the table next to her and said to Wen Duo quickly:
"Mr. Ji's condition sounds like an acute allergic reaction. He must also have toxins in his system. The combination of the two will definitely make the situation more serious. We must deal with it immediately!"
Wen Duo's heart was gripped with a knot. She didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately turned around to lead the way for Chen Yuwei. The two of them almost ran towards Ji Huaishen's ward.
..........
When Wen Duo brought Chen Yuwei back to the infirmary, Ji Huaishen's condition was worse than before.
I saw that his whole body was red and he was breathing heavily, like a drowning fish.
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes with difficulty. His deep eyes were covered with a layer of mist due to lack of oxygen, but they suddenly became cold the moment he saw Chen Yuwei.
"Why is it you?"
His voice was hoarse, with obvious resistance and a subtle questioning:
"Where's the male doctor?"
Wen Duo's heart seemed to be tightened tightly. She rushed to the bedside and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with her fingertips. Her voice was urgent and soft:
"The doctors have all collapsed from the poisoning. Sister Yuwei is busy, so it's okay! She's a very skilled doctor. Let her take a look at you, okay?"
Ji Huaishen frowned. The symptoms of poisoning and allergies made it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. However, he did not agree directly. Instead, he stared at Chen Yuwei with eyes as sharp as a hawk:
"Since everyone was poisoned, why didn't you eat it?"
Seeing this scene, Wen Duo was so angry and anxious that she almost cried:
"It's already this late! What are you still doubting? Sister Yuwei is here to save you!"
She held his hot hand, her voice trembling with tears:
"Please, Ji Huaishen, trust Sister Yuwei's medical skills and let her take a look..."
Chen Yuwei put down the medical kit and met Ji Huaishen's scrutinizing gaze. Her tone was calm but her speech was extremely fast:
"You said you'd let me leave when the weather improved. I was a little seasick and didn't want to eat, so I was packing my luggage in my room, getting ready to leave. When I came out, I found out something was wrong, and I was treating other people the whole time."
"The poisoning was caused by poison and dried chrysanthemum powder mixed into all the food. I happened to smell an extremely strong scent of dried chrysanthemum on a servant who left in a hurry, and I have asked the bodyguard to track down the person. Therefore, I am not the murderer."
She paused and looked at Wen Duo:
"Miss Wendo can testify that what I said is true. Poisoning would not benefit me in any way. There is no need for me to be so stupid."
Wen Duo nodded vigorously, tears finally rolling down her cheeks:
"It's true! The bodyguards have already gone to arrest him! Believe me!"
Ji Huaishen looked at Wen Duo, whose eyes were filled with tears and pleading, and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, although they were still weak, they had eased a lot. He nodded very slightly and squeezed out a word from his throat:
"......good."
