Li Ying nodded: "Yes, if Leng Yan can't get ownership of the machinery factory, he will be abandoned. So right now, he is the only one who is key to the eldest brother's disappearance."
“But Leng Yan has many petty thieves under his command, so I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to find any dirt on him or find our boss.” Li Ting was in a dilemma.
He was just an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
"It's okay, I think we can go to Lu Yufei and ask her for help."
Lu Yufei had long wanted to eliminate Leng Yan, this cancer, and would definitely help him resolve this matter.
“Lu Yufei won’t help you. She’s now the Jing family’s rival and won’t get involved in this mess. If you want to find someone, you’d better ask Young Master Jing Chi.” Li Dongguo said after a long silence.
Yang Mei, remembering Jing Chi's promise, added, "Your father is right, for now, we can only turn to Jing Chi."
Everyone looked at Li Ying, who smiled and said, "Then I'll go see him tomorrow."
Isn't it just asking for help?
For her elder brother's sake, she was not afraid to abandon her dignity.
In the morning, Li Ying wanted to go out, but a police officer came to find her and asked her to go with him to the scene of Yao Sanhua's death.
Li Ying agreed and followed the police officers to Yao Sanhua's house.
A large crowd had gathered in the dilapidated courtyard, chattering amongst themselves. When they saw Li Ying arrive with the police officers, they grabbed whatever they were holding and tried to rush over.
"Let's see who dares to cause trouble!" One of the officers pulled out a pistol, and everyone immediately shrank back.
"please!"
The police officer was very polite to Li Ying. As he walked into the house, he quietly told her, "My name is Xiang Ming. I went to the battlefield with Commander Ye before. Commander Ye saved my life."
So he was Ye Jingchi's soldier. No wonder he respected her so much.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"It's no trouble at all. I will handle things impartially and will not engage in favoritism or corruption. Just be careful of the Jing family." After Xiang Ming finished speaking, he went straight into the house, and Li Ying followed him in.
At the scene, there was a bowl of medicine that had been boiled, which was the most crucial evidence, because Yao Sanhua died after drinking this bowl of medicine.
"May I smell the dregs of the medicine?"
"Can."
Li Ying picked up the medicine bowl, smelled it, and frowned slightly: "There's an extra ingredient in this medicine, strychnine. Depending on the patient's condition and constitution, taking this herb can cause respiratory failure, and if not detected in time, it can lead to death."
"His words don't count!" Yao Sanhua's son rushed in, pointing his finger at Li Ying and saying, "She killed my mother, of course she wants to clear her name and doesn't want to take responsibility! So what she says doesn't count!"
"In that case, I'll invite a few big shots over to inspect it. Surely that won't be a problem?" Xiang Ming asked coldly.
Yao Sanhua's son murmured, "It's such a small matter, why do we need to invite some bigwigs?"
"Shut up!" Xiang Ming pointed at Yao Sanhua's son: "I asked a big shot to examine your mother's death, and you're still not happy! It seems there's something fishy going on here! No need to ask a big shot, arrest this guy. I have reason to suspect that he killed his own mother and framed Comrade Li Ying!"
What?
Yao Sanhua's son's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Sir, you can't wrong an innocent person! Go and ask around, I'm a filial son! I would never kill my mother."
"Since that's the case, I'm going to ask a big shot to appraise it. Why are you objecting?" Xiang Ming questioned sternly.
Yao Sanhua's son said with a bitter face, "Sir, my mother is dead. I just want an explanation. Why don't you just give me some money and I won't pursue this further?"
Li Ying sneered: "You think you can just drop the matter like that? The medicine I prescribed for your mother was all nourishing and tonifying, and it didn't contain any herbs like strychnine. But there's an extra ingredient in this bowl. Who do you think put it there?"
Yao Sanhua's son looked terrified and vehemently denied it: "I'm telling you, you're all in cahoots, you just don't want to take responsibility!"
Xiang Ming was about to punch the other party when Li Ying stopped him, gently shook her head, and said to Yao Sanhua's son, "You keep saying that I killed your mother, but I have no grudge against your family. Why would I do such a thing? What benefit would killing your mother bring to my clinic? I think you took benefits from others and did not hesitate to kill your mother to blackmail her!"
These words terrified Yao Sanhua's son so much that his legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, trembling.
"Men, arrest this kid!" Xiang Ming ordered.
Other police officers came up and grabbed Yao Sanhua's son.
When Li Ying and Xiang Ming came out of the house, the others in the yard were unhappy.
"Sir, what's going on? Sanhua is dead, so why have they arrested her son?"
"Exactly! Is there no justice left?"
"Are we poor people just meant to be bullied by you?"
Everyone started criticizing him.
"Don't worry, everyone, let me explain." Xiang Ming pointed at Yao Sanhua's son and said loudly, "His mother, Yao Sanhua, got medicine from Li Ying's clinic, but there was an extra herb in the medicine bowl. I wanted to ask an expert in the field to identify it, but he refused. Isn't that something he's hiding?"
"Tiger, is this true?" the old man asked.
"Village chief, no, he's lying! He's protecting Li Ying and deliberately framing me!"
Li Ying said calmly, "You say we framed you, very well. Since there was an extra strychnine in the bowl, either he bought it at the pharmacy or it's something he always keeps at home. The officers can look for it."
Yao Sanhua's son panicked: "We have strychnine at home, and my mother took it before without any problems. But Li Ying's medicine caused this."
"So you're saying you added strychnine to Li Ying's prescription?" Xiang Ming pressed.
“My mom is usually fine after eating this.”
"Impossible! Your mother's illness doesn't allow her to take strychnine; otherwise, she would have died long ago. You're lying!" Li Ying said coldly.
The others looked at each other.
"I've never heard of Sanhua's family having any strychnine!"
"Yes, it really is the medicine that Tiger gave to her mother."
"No doubt about it, he bought the medicine and he added it." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a handsome man pulling an old man into the courtyard.
"Young Master Jing, who is he...?" Xiang Ming, being perceptive, inquired.
“He is the village doctor. Yao Sanhua’s son bought strychnine from him a few days ago.”
Jing Chi kicked the man, and the man immediately told him everything.
“Sir, when Hu Zi went to buy this herb, I did warn him because I had prescribed it for his mother before and she almost got poisoned, so I didn’t dare use it on her. But a few days ago, he came and insisted on buying strychnine seeds, saying that someone told him that using poison to fight poison could cure his mother’s illness. I thought that the world is a big place and anything is possible, so I sold him some strychnine seeds. This really has nothing to do with me!”
