"However," Director Guo continued, "skin contact can also cause poisoning, especially if you have wounds on your hands or accidentally get it in your eyes."
Another point is that if it comes into frequent contact with the skin, it can cause poisoning even without open wounds.
But to be honest, the small amount in that envelope you just handed me should be fine as long as it wasn't accidentally ingested or inhaled directly into the lungs; a quick rinse should be enough.
"Hoo," Li Chu exhaled softly. He was certain that the oddly folded letter contained arsenic. Once you opened it, it would definitely shake, and you would inevitably inhale it when you breathed.
"Dr. Li, if someone deliberately poisoned the area, I suggest you tell the security department and have them investigate."
Li Chu nodded: "Thank you, Director Guo. I've already called the police, and someone will be here soon. Please keep this a secret."
Director Guo took out the envelope that Li Chu had just taken from his pocket.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything out of line, but you should tell your partner to be more careful in the future."
Li Chu took the envelope, smiled, and thanked Director Guo again.
"Alright, I'm going back." Director Guo waved his hand, put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and turned to leave.
After watching Director Guo walk away, Li Chu was about to go inside when he heard the sound of a car. He turned around and saw that it was indeed the car that Director Liu usually drove up.
The jeep squeaked to a stop, the door opened, and an elderly man who looked to be about sixty years old got out of the passenger seat, leaving Li Chu stunned for a moment.
"Director Chen, why did you come in person?" Li Chu hurriedly went over.
The old man, referred to as Director Chen, did not reply. Instead, he looked Li Chu up and down with a serious expression.
“Now he doesn’t even call me uncle anymore. He didn’t tell me about this big thing. It seems like he’s not going to acknowledge me as his uncle.”
My Healing Game
"Uh, Uncle Chen, how could I not acknowledge you? I didn't tell you because you have too many things to do every day. It would have been the same if I had told Director Liu."
Director Chen, with his hands behind his back, looked at Li Chu with a half-smile: "Hmph, alright, let's talk in your office."
"Uncle Chen, please. Director Liu, please also." Behind Director Liu was a middle-aged man whom Li Chu did not recognize. He nodded and smiled at the man.
Upon entering the consultation room, Li Chu gestured for them to sit down and poured each of them a glass of water.
"Stop busying yourself, Xiao Chu. What's the matter that you called Director Liu over?" Director Chen waved for Li Chu to sit down and asked.
"It's like this, Uncle Chen, Director Liu." Li Chu organized his thoughts and recounted what had happened after breakfast and lunch, handing over the file bag containing the items, the test reports, and the envelope to Director Chen.
"This is the result of our hospital's laboratory test. It's arsenic trioxide, which is what we call arsenic. This document bag contains folded letter paper. I haven't opened it to see if there's anything on it. This is the envelope."
Director Chen looked at the three items, and Director Liu also came over to take a look.
"Xiao Chu, how did you realize something was wrong?"
"At first, I didn't realize what was happening. When I was pouring out the letter, the powder got all over my hand. Just as I was about to bring it closer to smell it, I suddenly remembered what my father had told me before: that some people put potassium cyanide in the mail, which caused the recipient to be poisoned and die."
So I quickly packed my things, washed my hands, and took some powder to the lab for testing.
Director Chen nodded: "Not bad, they're quite vigilant."
After saying that, he pointed to the envelope: "Neither of you recognize this mailing address?"
"I don't know them, Uncle Chen. You know my family situation. My wife's hometown is in Beihe, and she doesn't know anyone from Dongshan."
At this moment, Director Liu took the envelope and looked at it: "You only received this letter this morning?"
"Yes, when Grandpa Zhang from our mailroom gave it to me, he said that the post office had just delivered it."
"Isn't this meant for your wife? Why is he giving it to you?"
“I was seeing someone off at the gate at that time. After I finished, I was walking back when Grandpa Zhang asked me to bring it over for him.”
Director Liu nodded and said to Director Chen, "If I remember correctly, Jiang Cheng was on official business over there when this letter was stamped."
Director Liu's words made Li Chu, Director Chen, and the other person all look at him.
Director Chen stared sharply at Director Liu and asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Director Liu shook his head: "I should remember correctly, it took him a total of eight days to go and bring it back, including the date on the postmark."
"Xiao Chu, we've already taken Jiang Cheng into custody. We've also arrested the person he hired to follow you, as well as the two people you reported on last night."
However, aside from the thief who claimed Jiang Cheng had ordered him to follow him after being arrested, Jiang Cheng himself remained silent. The two men arrested last night kept protesting their innocence, saying they didn't know Jiang Cheng at all.
After a pause, Director Chen continued, "We searched both of their residences, but found nothing of any use. Moreover, according to our investigation, these two people have been living in Beijing for over twenty years."
"So you mean there's absolutely no evidence right now?" Li Chu asked.
"Yes, but we are still investigating the matter of them hurting Jiang Li's ex-husband. They were both on leave during that period and were definitely not in Beijing."
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu, could you let me see Jiang Cheng?"
“This…” The case is still under investigation, and normally it is not allowed to meet. Director Liu was a little unsure and looked at Director Chen.
Director Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Li Chu and asked, "Xiao Chu, are you confident you can get Jiang Cheng to talk?"
“I’m not sure. You guys are the experts when it comes to interrogation. I just think I should go see him in person and ask him why he did this.”
Director Chen was in a dilemma. Personally, he really wanted to agree to Li Chu's request, but officially he couldn't do so, as it would violate discipline.
The consultation room fell silent. The man who had been taking notes stopped writing and closed his notebook; there was no need to record these things anymore.
After a long while, Director Chen finally spoke, "Someone will come to pick you up in a car when you get off work. Just get in the car and follow him."
"Uncle Chen, I'll take your niece with me when I go over later. I'm worried about leaving her alone after what happened today."
