Chapter 176 Angel of Death: Holy Water?

"Nothing was fed to him. It was Feng Xiaonan who fed him." Speaking of her daughter-in-law, Sun Guixiang got furious and cursed, "My grandson was killed by Feng Xiaonan, the unlucky star."

"Why do you say she killed the child?"

"Feng Xiaonan and my grandson's horoscopes are not compatible. She is unlucky for my grandson. Hey, I asked my son to marry another one a long time ago, but he refused to listen. Now the child is gone..."

Fang Rui interrupted her: "Did you secretly feed the child with holy water that night?"

Sun Guixiang's eyes rolled around twice and she denied: "No! What holy water? I don't know. I didn't feed him!"

"Your son said you fed him." Fang Rui decided to trick her.

"He said that? He's so successful that he even dared to report his mother," Sun Guixiang cursed, "Where is Li Ruiqing imprisoned? I want to find him out and beat him to death, this unfilial son!"

"Do you admit that you fed him the magic water?"

"Comrade police, this is not ordinary talisman water. It is a talisman specially requested by the master, burned into ashes, and then added with the magic water given by the master, it can cure all diseases. I spent several thousand to buy it. The master told me that as long as the child drinks it, no matter what disease it is, it will be cured immediately. That night, while my daughter-in-law went to the toilet, I secretly fed the child a large bowl of talisman water.

After a while, the child really responded, his eyelids were moving. But after a while, Feng Xiaonan said that the child was not breathing. It was not me who killed my grandson, it was the hospital, or it was Li Xiaonan who killed him."

Xiao Zhang said angrily: "The talisman paper is drawn with cinnabar. Haven't you watched the TV series? The TV series said that cinnabar is poisonous, poisonous!"

"I asked the nurse. The nurse said it was okay. I asked her, and she said it was okay."

"Which nurse said that? We're taking you to the hospital now. You can identify it."

"The nurses in the hospital all wear the same clothes and look similar. I can't remember which nurse it was now."

Xiao Zhang interrupted her sophistry, "Don't put the blame on others. If you hadn't fed the child carelessly and let the food enter his respiratory tract, the child wouldn't have died suddenly."

"Yangyang wasn't going to live long anyway. He had to die sooner or later. He lies in bed every day, what's the difference between that and being dead?" Sun Guixiang muttered.

She also knew that she couldn't feed the child carelessly, but she thought, what if the magic water worked? Even if the magic water didn't work and the child died, it wouldn't be a loss. Anyway, the child is a vegetable, and there's no difference between being alive and being dead. It would be easier if he died, because her son could continue to have children, and she wouldn't have to worry about not having grandchildren.

Xiao Zhang was so amused by her rebuke that Sun Guixiang killed her own grandson without any guilt. Such an old man is too scary.

After Li Ruiqing learned that the police had found out about Sun Guixiang feeding the talisman water, he admitted his motive for hiding the body: "That's my mother. I can't watch her go to jail, so I had to hide the body."

"When the doctors were rescuing her, you didn't tell them about this?" Fang Rui asked.

Li Ruiqing hesitated and said, "My mother was so scared at that time, she...she didn't dare to tell the doctor."

"If you had told them, the child might have been rescued!" Xiao Zhang said angrily.

"Even if he was rescued, he would be a vegetable." Li Ruiqing muttered softly.

"..." As expected of mother and son, they actually had the same vicious idea. Xiao Zhang couldn't help but wonder if they deliberately used the magic water to kill Yangyang.

"Hey, it's all Feng Xiaonan's fault. She was fine, why was she making a fuss? If she hadn't made a fuss, none of this would have happened."

Fang Rui asked back, "Then you can push the responsibility onto others and feel at ease blaming the hospital and Feng Xiaonan for not taking good care of her?"

"I..."

"Yangyang had the car accident in your yard, which is surrounded by a wall. If the car hadn't lost control and crashed into the wall, Yangyang wouldn't have gotten into trouble. The driver was responsible for the accident, and Feng Xiaonan was not responsible at all. Yet you put all the blame for Yangyang's car accident on her. Don't you think this kind of accusation is too cruel for a mother who loves her children?"

Li Ruiqing was speechless. In fact, he and his family knew that Feng Xiaonan was innocent, but they were afraid that Feng Xiaonan would be a hands-off manager and not take care of Yangyang, so they kept deepening Feng Xiaonan's guilt in this way, so that she would voluntarily stay in the hospital to take care of Yangyang.

After Feng Xiaonan learned the truth about the child's death, she burst into tears. She thought of many reasons, and even suspected that her mother-in-law and husband secretly killed Yangyang, but she didn't expect it was caused by her mother-in-law feeding her talisman water.

When the child just got into trouble, her mother-in-law also said every day to feed the child some talisman water, so that the condition would get better quickly. Under her strong persuasion, she thought her mother-in-law gave up the idea, but she didn't expect Yangyang to die of feudal superstition.

Feng Xiaonan filed for divorce from Li Ruiqing. She couldn't live with such a man anymore. After Yangyang's accident, he used work as an excuse to not come to the hospital to take care of the child. At first, she endured it for the sake of the child.

Now that Yangyang is gone, there is no need to maintain such a marriage.

After work, Fang Rui went home with Mu Mian. After getting in the car, Fang Rui found that Mu Mian's mood was not right.

"Mu Mian, what's wrong with you?"

"Yangyang's death may not be caused by the bowl of talisman water."

"What else could it be?"

"When a patient is not breathing or has cardiac arrest, epinephrine is usually injected for first aid. But excessive epinephrine will cause a person's blood pressure to rise. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage cannot use epinephrine for first aid.

But we detected that the epinephrine in Yangyang's body is three times that of a normal person. Increased adrenaline will lead to increased blood pressure, which may cause or aggravate cerebral hemorrhage."

Fang Rui said: "You mean this may be a medical accident"

"I'm not sure. The medical records the doctor gave me showed the first aid process, but the doctor didn't use epinephrine when he was doing the first aid. I don't know why the epinephrine in his body is abnormal. There are many possible reasons. It's too difficult to determine the cause of death for a victim with such severe brain damage."

The next day, Mu Mian told Li Yang's attending physician about this situation, and he denied it: "When we were doing the first aid, Yang Yang was no longer breathing, and we didn't use any drugs on him."

"Then why was the epinephrine in his body abnormal?"

"Patients with severe brain damage like him have many complications, some of which can cause abnormal hormone secretion in his body. It is more difficult to determine the cause of death of people with brain damage. Yangyang's death may be caused by multiple factors. It is difficult for you to tell which one is the cause."

Mu Mian insisted: "Can you provide me with his infusion list?"

"Do you suspect that Li Yang's death was a medical accident? But I'm very sure that the medicine I prescribed for him did not contain epinephrine."

Mu Mian asked, "But don't you think Yangyang's death was sudden?"

"Critically ill patients like him are not ordinary people. They are at risk of death at any time." Yangyang's attending physician thought for a while and said, "Our hospital has set up an investigation team to investigate this matter. If there is really a medical accident, we will give an explanation to Yangyang's family."

Two days later, the hospital's investigation results came out. The hospital's treatment of Yangyang was in compliance with medical procedures and there was no medical accident.
