Chapter 218 A Strange Murder Case
Li Ying's mood was indeed much better. At least this matter would no longer be an unsolved mystery lingering in her mind.
After Leng Su left, Li Ying called Chenchen over, stroked her son's cheek, and spoke earnestly.
"Son, from today on, remember what your mother said. Your father can only be Ye Jingchi. No one else can be your father!"
Chenchen was surprised: "Mom, you have already said it before, why are you saying it again?"
"I want to tell you, don't want someone to be your father just because they're a little bit nice to you. That's not good behavior, understand?"
Chenchen tilted his head: "But isn't he my father?"
Li Ying was stunned for a moment and pinched Chenchen's cheek: "Who told you?"
"He looks a lot like me."
He is just small, not stupid.
Li Ying sighed. This kid is really hard to fool.
"Okay, whatever you want."
How could she cruelly deprive the child of the right to know? Since he thought Jing Chi was right, then let him go.
The weather was getting hot, so Li Ying took Chenchen to her parents' house for dinner. Only then did she learn that something had happened at her sister-in-law Yaru's home.
Ya Ru's younger brother Tang Long died of poisoning while having dinner in a restaurant.
"When did it happen?"
"Just now, your elder brother and your sister-in-law left in a hurry." Yang Mei was also very anxious while holding her eldest grandson.
"Your second brother and your second sister-in-law have gone to the capital, and the house is in a complete mess now."
"Mom, don't worry. All you have to do is take good care of your grandson. Don't worry about anything else."
"I can't control it even if I want to."
"Miss Li Ying!" Ah Hu ran over. "Master Leng wants you to go over and examine Tang Long's body. Is that okay?"
Only then did Li Ying realize that Tang Long died in the restaurant that Leng Yan was in charge of, which was also the place where his eldest brother and a group of people were poisoned last time.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Li Ying left Chenchen to Yang Mei and followed Ah Hu to the restaurant that Leng Yan was in charge of.
The police station has put this place under martial law, and the person who organized the incident is Xiang Ming.
When Li Ying came over, she explained things to Xiang Mingyou, and only then was she able to enter the crime scene smoothly.
Tang Long died in a private room on the second floor.
At that time, he had invited several friends to drink. Those people were also poisoned and were all sent to the hospital. Only Tang Long died on the spot.
The forensic doctor brought by Xiang Ming had already examined the body and explained the situation to Xiang Ming.
Xiang Ming asked Li Ying to help take a look.
"I'm not a forensic pathologist, so I'll just give you my own judgment based on my duties as a doctor."
Li Ying put on gloves and began to examine Tang Long's body. Judging from the degree of spasm in Tang Long's mouth and eyes, and limbs, in addition to arsenic poisoning, there was also a toxin. This poison was a venom extracted from a tree. Only a little bit was enough to kill a person. This poison was not a fatal one. It was a toxin that could only be produced by a tree from abroad.
Li Ying told everyone present about her discovery.
"He must have drunk something before coming to eat that contained this toxin. Combined with the arsenic here, the two poisoned him and he died instantly."
Xiang Ming looked at Leng Yan and said, "Manager Leng, your restaurant has had repeated poisoning incidents. Don't you need an explanation?"
Leng Yan said coldly, "I opened a restaurant to do business, so naturally I hope that business will prosper and that there will be a lot of money. This poisoning incident has had the greatest impact on our restaurant."
"Last time, it was your chef who drugged the restaurant because he was dissatisfied with it. This time, I'm afraid we have to start from your restaurant and investigate one by one." Xiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
Leng Yan responded calmly, "Doctor Li Ying just said that he had a drink before entering the restaurant. In other words, his death is not entirely the restaurant's fault."
"Li Ying said so, but the person died in your restaurant. You are the person in charge of the restaurant, so you have to take this responsibility! Bring all the people in the restaurant to the hall for questioning, and check the kitchen, private rooms, and all departments of the restaurant!" Xiang Ming gave the order directly without giving Leng Yan anything to say.
The strangers were about to leave the restaurant, so Li Pei helped Ya Ru downstairs.
Li Ying followed him out of the restaurant.
"Yingying, you said Aaron drank something before entering the restaurant. What could he drink?"
Ya Ru knew that her brother had many bad habits, especially loved drinking. She wondered if he had already had a drink and came here to drink again.
"Sister-in-law, I'm just making a preliminary assessment based on my medical knowledge. The police still need to review the situation."
Ya Ru sobbed, "My brother is a bit of a vagrant, but he's not a bad person. Who would want to kill him?"
Li Ying looked up at the restaurant sign and murmured, "I'm afraid that person is not targeting your brother, but the restaurant manager Leng Yan."
My sister-in-law's younger brother happened to become a chess piece.
Xiang Ming chased out: "Sister-in-law, can you come with me to investigate the case?"
"I?"
Li Ying had no intention of being a forensic pathologist. She only helped out because the deceased was her sister-in-law's younger brother. If she followed Xiang Ming, she would probably have no free time recently.
"Sister-in-law, you're unwilling?" Xiang Ming frowned. "The forensic doctors at our police station have a heavy workload and need help. Take a look..."
"Okay, I promise."
Xiang Ming was very grateful and kept saying thank you.
Li Ying followed Xiang Ming back to the crime scene again.
Tang Long's body had been carried out, and the box was particularly quiet.
"Sister-in-law, I think the other party is not targeting Tang Long in this matter, but the restaurant." Xiang Ming expressed his judgment.
Li Ying looked at Xiang Ming approvingly. This person really had his own unique way of looking at things.
"You should know that Leng Yan's situation has been very bad recently. Aunt Jing is slowly depriving him of his rights and trying to sideline him." Li Ying walked around the table again and again, looking for something useful to support the case.
"Wait a moment."
Li Ying saw a small grass on a chair. Li Ying picked up the needle and frowned slightly.
"How did Xiaocao appear here? Did the waiter not clean the place properly?" Li Ying fell into deep thought.
"Sister-in-law, based on your judgment, you concluded that the person who killed Tang Long was not from Shanghai?"
"Probably not. This person has at most some connection to the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
Xiang Ming frowned.
"You should start by investigating Tang Long's recent affairs, and then investigate the Jing family."
Xiang Ming was stunned: "Sister-in-law, don't you suspect that the Jing family wants to harm Leng Yan?"
Impossible. Although Jing Chi is the young master of the Jing family, he would never use such means to harm Leng Yan.
"Just because Jing Chi wouldn't do this doesn't mean others won't do it. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Li Ying and Xiang Ming went to talk to Leng Yan, wanting to know from him whether he had offended anyone recently.
"I've said before that I've offended a lot of people. And this time, it's obvious they want to bring down the restaurant and get rid of my job."
