Chapter 187 Angel of Death: Suspicion
Mu Mian performed an autopsy on Chen Shu's body. There were no obvious external injuries or pinholes on Chen Shu's body. The initial judgment was that Chen Shu did die of poisoning.
Chen Xue said: "Mian Mian, do you think that Chen Shu's death is a bit similar to Lin Qianjie's? Could she also have eaten rat poison and died of poisoning?"
Mu Mian agreed: "I also suspect that it was rat poison that poisoned her."
But Mu Mian was puzzled. How could it be rat poison?
Chen Xue wondered, "Before she entered the interrogation room, a female police officer had searched her, but no poison was found on her. So how did she get the poison and commit suicide? The food she ate in there was also from our bureau, so there was no problem."
Chen Xue picked up Chen Shu's clothes and checked them carefully. No suspicious items were found in the pockets of the clothes. Chen Xue also untied the hair tie on Chen Shu's hair. Her hair tie was made of cotton, and there was no trace of poison hidden in it.
Mu Mian said: "There are many ways to hide poison, such as hiding it in the cracks of nails, ears, wrapping it in a capsule and swallowing it in advance, which can delay the onset of the poison; or soaking the poison solution in clothes..."
Chen Xue nodded and said: "That makes sense, then all the items on Chen Shu need to be carefully checked to see if there are any poison residues."
It will take time for the results of the toxicology test to come out. Mu Mian can only wait for the results of the toxicology test to know what poison Chen Shu was poisoned with and how he was poisoned.
Chen Shu had a lunch in the police station and drank two glasses of water. These tableware were disposable and were still in the trash can without being thrown away. They were also sent for toxicology testing.
The next day, the results of the poison test came out, and as Mu Mian and the others guessed, the poison that killed Chen Shu was strychnine. Rat poison was detected on the collar of the clothes Chen Shu wore that day; no poison was detected on other items.
"Why could it be rat poison?" Xiao Zhang wondered, "This thing is not easy to buy, why would Chen Shu use this poison to commit suicide?"
Fang Rui also found it strange: "Chen Shu was able to steal so many controlled drugs, why didn't she steal some drugs that could be used for suicide from the hospital, but went to buy rat poison?"
Mu Mian guessed: "It may be because the drugs in the hospital are not very lethal and are easy to rescue. But rat poison is highly toxic, and a little bit can be fatal."
"Then how did she bring the poison in?"
Mu Mian said, "We detected rat poison on her collar. If she really committed suicide, it is reasonable to speculate that she soaked the rat poison solution on her collar in advance, so that she could escape the search."
Xiao Li questioned, "If she wanted to commit suicide, why didn't she commit suicide earlier and stay in the interrogation room for so long? Why didn't she commit suicide before we arrested her? In this way, we can't ask anything! The time of her suicide is very strange."
Chen Xue retorted, "She didn't know that we had her information. Evidence of a crime. What if we don't have enough evidence, then she will be fine, right? When she found out that we already had evidence of her crime and she couldn't deny it, she gave up completely. "
Xiao Wang echoed, "Chen Shu told me that people should live freely. She probably didn't want to be imprisoned, so she committed suicide by taking poison."
Xiao Zhang said, "The prison police also said that Chen Shu asked them not to call the emergency number because she couldn't be saved. Then she must have committed suicide."
Fang Rui still felt suspicious, "Then how did she know that we would take her away from the hospital that day?"
"Could it be that she wore clothes soaked in poison every day? Once she was caught, she used rat poison to poison herself?" Xiao Li guessed.
Chen Shu is dead, and we can only see if we can find any clues from her social relationships.
The police investigated Chen Shu's bank account. Her bank statements were very brief. All her income was from the salary paid to her by the hospital. There was no suspicious income.
She had almost no savings, and no cash was found in her home. These can prove that Chen Shu probably did not do these things for money.
Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang went to the hospital to find Director Chen, but the nurses in the hospital told them that Director Chen had gone out of town to attend an academic conference and would not be back for a week.
Fang Rui contacted Director Chen by phone.
"Comrade police, what do you want to talk to me about?" Director Chen's tone was very impatient.
"Do you know Chen Shu?"
"Yes. She is a nurse in our department. What happened?"
"She is dead. As a family member, can you come to the police station to identify the body?"
Director Chen replied coldly: "Who told you that I am her relative? Although we both have the surname Chen, she and I have no relationship. If you don't believe it, you can do a DNA test to see if she is my daughter."
"We found photos of you, her, and her mother at Chen Shu's home. If you have no relationship, why do you have those photos?" "
Those are photos of me, the patient, and the patient's family. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go and get busy first."
Without waiting for Fang Rui to answer, Director Chen hung up the phone.
Xiao Zhang complained, "Director Chen is so irresponsible. Although Chen Shu is not his biological daughter, she is his stepdaughter. How could he be so indifferent to Chen Shu's death? Could it be that he instigated Chen Shu to attack those patients? Now that Chen Shu is in trouble, he is in a hurry to distance himself from the matter?"
Fang Rui said, "Chen Shu should not be able to conduct drug trials alone, because various medical tests can detect abnormalities. There must be Chen Shu's accomplices in this hospital." Fang Rui
wanted to investigate the matter in depth, but the hospital was very uncooperative. They refused to provide the patient's treatment records and even threatened Fang Rui that if the police came to the hospital to harass their doctors and nurses again, they would file a complaint against Fang Rui and his colleagues.
Xiao Zhang sighed and said, "Could it be that the hospital first cooperated with that medical institution, and Chen Shu was just pushed out by them to take the blame?"
Fang Rui felt that the possibility of the hospital's involvement was small. But there must be Chen Shu's accomplices in the hospital.
Fang Rui checked Director Chen's bank account and found no abnormal income. In fact, the balance of Director Chen's bank account was only a few thousand yuan.
After in-depth investigation, they found that Director Chen had a high income, but he only had an old house allocated by the unit and almost no savings.
He spent all his money on helping patients. He often paid for the medical expenses of some patients from rural areas, and often went to poor areas for free clinics. Director Chen not only has superb medical skills, but also higher medical ethics.
