21 Thallium poisoning?
◎…◎
There were people all around at that time, and there were things to deal with later, so Iketani Ai didn't dare to possess the body immediately.
Seeing that the hotspot icon was still spinning and connecting, Iketani Ai immediately terminated it.
I was afraid that it would be like last time and I would suddenly faint.
It was understandable that she saw the deceased faint occasionally, but if he fainted again, she would probably be questioned about whether she was qualified for the job of a police officer.
She didn't want to lose the stable job she had finally gotten.
Fortunately, after the friendly negotiation with the system last time, she didn't have to possess the victim immediately this time, giving her enough time to prepare.
"Guoguo? It's really Guoguo!"
"Guoguo, come to daddy quickly, I'm your daddy!"
When Pan Heyin saw his daughter who was so emaciated, he felt excited but also sad.
At the same time, I couldn't help but blame myself.
If he hadn't trusted his cousin too much, as well as his parents, and entrusted his daughter to them, Guoguo wouldn't have suffered so much.
I heard from the police that when Guoguo was rescued, he had been tortured by the couple to the point that he was almost unrecognizable as a human.
If it weren't for Guoguo's strong desire to survive, and if she wasn't so hungry that she even stuffed wild vegetables and grass into her mouth, she would probably never have waited for the police to rescue her.
Just looking at my daughter's frail body that could be blown away by the wind, you can tell what kind of life she has been living in the past six months.
When I handed my daughter over to my cousin, she was clearly chubby, but now she has become as thin as a chicken.
Thinking of this, Pan Heyin began to blame his cousin Song Shishi.
When he didn't see his daughter, he was still making excuses for his cousin, thinking that his cousin didn't lose the child on purpose and that he shouldn't take his anger out on her.
But seeing his daughter's current state, he simply couldn't let go of the past.
He felt even more sad when he saw Guoguo's eyes full of strangeness, fear and timidity when she looked at him.
The daughter who would enthusiastically throw herself into his arms and sweetly call him daddy whenever she saw him was lost by him.
Maybe it was the special connection between father and daughter, or maybe she subconsciously remembered the past, but Guoguo, who was originally clinging to Ikegami Ai's trouser legs and timidly biting her fingers, suddenly stretched out her tentative little feet in the direction of Pan and Yin.
Seeing Pan Heyin's excited face and extending his hand towards her with anticipation, Guoguo hesitated and put her little hand into Pan Heyin's hand.
Holding his daughter's skinny little hand and hugging her frail body, Pan Heyin could no longer hold back his tears.
"Xiaoqing, look at our daughter. Our daughter is found. I will never lose her again."
The daughter was found, but the deceased wife could never be seen again.
Thinking that his wife was still thinking about their daughter Guoguo before she died, and regretting that she could not see Guoguo for the last time, he felt even more uncomfortable and guilty.
At that time, he called his parents, hoping that they could bring Guoguo to Huaijiang City so that the child could see her biological mother for the last time.
But when he heard his parents on the phone saying that it was hot recently and Guoguo couldn't help but eat too much cold food and had diarrhea and felt unwell, he was afraid that something might happen to the child on the way and he wouldn't be able to get treatment in time, so he didn't insist.
Pan Heyin slapped himself, regretting that he trusted his parents too much!
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not imagine that his parents would lie to him about such a big thing as losing their child!
And he kept lying for half a year!
Seeing Pan and Yin throwing themselves in front of the mourning hall and crying bitterly, Guoguo also became sad and tears fell down.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes became sore.
Just as everyone was immersed in the sad atmosphere of the mourning hall, Song Shishi appeared with red and swollen eyes holding a piece of white cloth in her hand.
"Guoguo, today is your mother's funeral. You are her only child. You have to wear mourning clothes and send her off. Hurry, put this on."
As he said this, he was about to cover Guoguo with the white cloth.
He was so diligent, as if doing more could alleviate his guilt for losing his child.
What Song Shishi didn't expect was that as soon as she approached Guoguo, Guoguo quickly dodged her and looked at her warily.
Song Shishi, whose white cloth in her hand was empty, felt aggrieved, her eyes turned red, and tears fell.
"Is Guoguo still blaming me for losing her? But I really didn't mean to do that. He Yin, what do you want me to do to make you forgive me?"
Hearing that Song Shishi was still shirking responsibility, Pan Heyin's face suddenly darkened.
Forgive her? There's no way to forgive her!
It was Guoguo who suffered and was almost tortured to death. Why should he forgive on Guoguo's behalf? He was not qualified to forgive anyone on Guoguo's behalf!
What he hated most about Song Shishi was that she didn't inform him immediately after she lost her child, but chose to conceal it.
If she had told him the truth earlier and he had gone to look for Guoguo earlier, he would have found Guoguo earlier and saved Guoguo a day of suffering.
Perhaps, his deceased wife could see Guoguo for the last time instead of leaving the world with regrets.
"Song Shishi, I don't want to see you now, please leave."
Hearing Pan Heyin's cold words, even stopping calling her cousin, Song Shishi's face turned ugly.
Before she went to the countryside, she had the best relationship with her cousin Pan Heyin, closer than siblings.
She didn't expect that her cousin would be so cruel to her just because of the child.
Song Shishi wanted to cry like she did when she was a child. Back then, every time she cried, even if it was her fault, her cousin would take the initiative to comfort her and apologize to her.
But at this moment, her eyes were swollen from crying, but her cousin was still only concerned with coaxing his daughter and didn't even look at her, which made Song Shishi feel very depressed.
Knowing that staying any longer would only be annoying and make her cousin dislike her even more, Song Shishi wiped away her tears unwillingly and prepared to leave the mourning hall.
However, before she was about to leave the mourning hall, she was suddenly blocked by a figure.
When she found that the person who stopped her was a slender, tall, young and beautiful policewoman wearing a public security uniform, Song Shishi touched her not-so-young face, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Before she went to the countryside, she was a famous beauty in Wenyang City. She looked young and delicate, and had countless suitors.
If the historical issues left over from her father's side had not been exposed and affected her, causing her to almost be dragged out for criticism, her uncle would not have hurriedly signed her up and sent her to the countryside to work as an educated youth.
Fortunately, her uncle was worried about her going to the countryside alone, so he asked her cousins Pan and Yin to go with her.
But life in the countryside was too hard, and she didn't know how to do farm work. Although her cousin helped her a lot, she still suffered a lot.
Exposure to wind, sun and rain has made people darker, thick calluses have formed on their hands, and their skin has become increasingly rough.
It was also in this hard work day after day that she, who was originally beautiful and delicate, gradually became haggard and withered like a flower that had lost water.
Even after returning to the city, she spent a lot of time and money to maintain her appearance, but her appearance could not return to what it was before.
She is not young anymore and her complexion is not as good as before. When she sees a woman who is younger and more beautiful than her, she can't help but want to scratch her face.
Unfortunately, the other party was a female police officer and had a companion, so it was difficult for her to take action.
Otherwise, she would make the other person look bad.
"Comrade Public Security, are you stopping me to ask me about Guoguo's disappearance?"
"I've already told you that the child was lost accidentally. I didn't do it on purpose. Why don't you believe me?"
"I am the child's biological cousin, the child's father is my biological cousin, and the child's mother is my savior. How could I deliberately abandon their child!"
Although she was clearly filled with jealousy and hatred towards Chi Gu'ai, Song Shishi still looked aggrieved and kept protesting for herself.
Perhaps because she is bound to the system, Iketani Ai's perception of other people's malice is becoming more and more obvious.
Clearly sensing the strong malice emanating from Song Shishi towards herself, Ikeyani Ai simply didn't believe that she could be a good person.
Moreover, it is said that children are the most sensitive and have the intuition of wild animals.
Just now, Guoguo avoided Song Shishi and didn't let her get close to him. It can be seen that she also sensed Song Shishi's malice.
Knowing that the other party would never admit it even if she died, Chi Gu Ai stopped Song Shishi, not to question her why she deliberately abandoned the child, but because she found that she was stained with a lot of resentment.
These grievances came from the same source as those emitted by Guoguo's biological mother, Xia Xiaoqing, who was lying in the coffin.
The system can connect with the residual soul of the deceased Xia Xiaoqing, which shows that she did not die of illness as everyone thought, but was killed by someone.
Because only the residual souls of victims who died of abnormal reasons can connect to the system.
Looking at the resentment wrapped around Song Shishi, Chi Gu Ai couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Song Shishi, could she be the murderer who killed Xia Xiaoqing?
If this is true, why would Song Shishi attack Xia Xiaoqing?
Iketani Ai was a little confused.
Just as Song Shishi said, Xia Xiaoqing is not only the wife of her cousin Pan Heyin, but also her savior. She has no reason to harm Xia Xiaoqing.
Chi Gu Ai immediately shook her head in her heart, feeling that she didn't need to find a reason to attack Song Shishi.
Song Shishi had such deep malice towards her, a stranger whom she had only met once. She must be mentally abnormal.
Do we need any reason to attack Xia Xiaoqing?
Perhaps, the loving relationship between Xia Xiaoqing and Pan Heyin, their happy family and fulfilling life were the biggest stimulation to her and the reason for her to take action.
Although she had some doubts about Song Shishi in her heart, Ikegani Ai did not say it out loud immediately.
After all, up to now, everyone including Pan and Yin thought that Xia Xiaoqing was seriously ill and could not be cured, and had no idea that she was murdered.
With an expressionless look at Song Shishi, Chi Gu Ai made way for her.
Song Shishi felt a pang in her heart when she saw Chi Gu Ai's look. She always felt as if she was seen through by the other party.
Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Song Shishi cursed softly and walked straight out of the mourning hall.
As soon as I left the mourning hall, I quickly found a telephone booth and made a call.
After Song Shishi left, Chi Gu Ai took the opportunity to burn paper and incense for Xia Xiaoqing to get closer to the coffin.
Because it was summer, a lot of ice was placed around the coffin to delay the decay of Xia Xiaoqing's body as much as possible.
Xia Xiaoqing should have been cremated yesterday. Pan Heyin heard that their daughter had been found.
In order to let his daughter see her mother for the last time, he spent a lot of effort and money to get so much ice from the ice factory.
Fortunately, Pan and Yin did not send Xia Xiaoqing for cremation, otherwise after the body was burned to ashes, Ikegani Aike would not be able to find any evidence of the murder.
"Teacher Pan, what disease does your wife have?"
Apart from sparse hair, severely cracked skin, and some ulcers and swelling, there was not much abnormality to be seen on Xia Xiaoqing's body.
Many diseases will develop into symptoms of massive hair loss, dry and ulcerated skin, and swelling in the later stages. It is impossible for her to raise doubts based on these points.
Pan Heyin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the person asking the question was the female police officer who brought his daughter back, he quickly stood up.
He had learned from his daughter that after being rescued, it had been this female police officer who had been helping to take care of his daughter, and he was very grateful to Ai Iketani.
Although he still felt sad when talking about his wife's death from illness, he did not hide anything.
"At first, Xiaoqing just had stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. I thought she had eaten something bad, so I took her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor also thought it was just a common gastrointestinal illness and prescribed her some medicine."
"I just didn't expect that the medicine didn't work, and Xiaoqing's condition got worse and worse."
Because she was born in the countryside, Xia Xiaoqing had a hard time as a child, so she developed the habit of being extremely frugal.
There are usually leftovers at home, but she is reluctant to throw them away and always reheats them.
Because she felt sorry for her husband's hard work at school, she would not bring the leftovers that had been heated up many times at home to the table for her husband to eat, but would keep them all for herself.
Pan and Yin had told her many times not to be so frugal, saying that eating multiple heated meals was bad for her health, but she just didn't understand.
He simply ignored Xia Xiaoqing's objections and started eating the leftovers.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoqing repeatedly promised to throw away the food that had been left out for a long time.
However, what Pan Heyin did not expect was that Xia Xiaoqing did not actually carry out the order.
Instead, he hid the leftovers and took them out to eat after Pan and Yin went to school.
Xia Xiaoqing suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting, and naturally Pan Heyin found out about it.
Pan Heyin was both angry and distressed. As Xia Xiaoqing's condition worsened, all that was left was heartache and self-blame.
He felt that it was because he, as a husband, was useless and could not provide Xia Xiaoqing with an adequate material life, which was why she remained so frugal.
"Later we went to the provincial hospital for a checkup, and the doctor suspected it might be stomach cancer. Then Xiaoqing developed a number of other health problems."
Problems also occurred in the nervous system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system.
Muscle weakness, numbness and swelling, severe pain, frequent palpitations, and difficulty breathing, these increasing symptoms soon tortured the originally very beautiful Xia Xiaoqing beyond recognition.
Such a difficult situation left the doctors helpless and unable to treat the patient.
In the end, Pan Heyin, who had run out of money, could only prescribe painkillers and take Xia Xiaoqing home.
Then he watched Xia Xiaoqing's body become weaker and weaker until she fell into the arms of death.
As he said this, Pan Heyin hit himself again.
It was as if I was back to the time when my wife was tortured by illness, wailing all day long and wishing she would die soon.
If he had enough money, he could have taken his wife to the capital or even abroad for treatment, and she would not have been tortured to death by the disease.
Even if I get into university and become a teacher, what good will it do?
It's all his fault.
After listening to Pan Heyin's description of Xia Xiaoqing's symptoms, Iketani Ai became more certain that Xia Xiaoqing did not die of illness.
This series of symptoms is likely to be poisoning.
As expected, after scanning Xia Xiaoqing's body, the system gave Ikegani Ai a definite answer.
Xia Xiaoqing clearly died of thallium poisoning!
