Chapter 47 Reversal of Verdict: Poisoning Method
The next day, the results of the poison test came out.
Mu Mian reported: "The poison in the body of the deceased is strychnine, commonly known as rat poison. It is a tasteless, odorless, highly toxic powder. The lethal dose for humans is only 7 to 10 mg.
The clinical manifestations of poisoning are strong and paroxysmal convulsions, accompanied by loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth, cyanosis of the whole body18, similar to a persistent state of epilepsy, and may be accompanied by mental symptoms. Severely poisoned people have frequent convulsions and even opisthotonos.
We also detected some undissolved soil in the poisoned glass of wine, which is likely to be an impurity in rat poison."
Xiao Zhang wondered: "The production and sale of rat poison has been completely banned for many years. How could the murderer obtain this poison?"
"The properties of dimethoate are very stable. It won't decompose even after several decades." Mu Mian explained, "It's possible that it was produced before."
Fang Rui frowned, "In this case, it will be difficult for us to investigate from the source of the poison."
Mu Mian continued, "Although Lin Qianjie and Wang Xiaoya were both poisoned, Lin Qianjie was more seriously poisoned and Wang Xiaoya was less seriously poisoned. If Wang Xiaoya had been sent to the hospital in time, there would have been a chance to save her.
There were a total of six wine glasses at the crime scene. We detected the ingredient of rat poison in one of the wine glasses, but no poison was detected in the other three glasses. The ingredients of the wine in the six glasses were the same, and it was the same kind of wine.
No poison was detected in the wine bottles found at the scene; no poison was detected in other foods and containers, which proves that The poison was probably first put into the cup."
Fang Rui said: "It seems that the murderer should have a specific target for poisoning. The murderer should not want to poison everyone, otherwise she would have put the poison in the wine bottle."
Mu Mian showed the medicine bottle again: "The medicine in the bottle is a male enhancement drug. Only Lin Qianjie's fingerprints were detected on the medicine bottle, so this bottle of medicine should be his. No rat poison was detected in it, and the medicine inside should not have been replaced. "
Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "No way, Lin Qianjie is not good at that? Then how could he rape those girls?"
Chen Xue rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhang, "This is a male enhancement drug, he is just not very good at it, not completely bad. Maybe he is mentally abnormal because of this inferiority complex, so he always wants to rape innocent girls."
"He is such a pervert! He is so rich, why didn't he treat his illness, but attacked innocent girls instead?"
On the night of the incident, there were a total of five people on the yacht: the deceased Lin Qianjie and Wang Xiaoya; the reporter Chen Dongdong and Xu Qin.
Chen Dongdong is Lin Qianjie's assistant. He and Wang Xiaoya are in a relationship. It was because of his relationship that Wang Xiaoya was able to get on the yacht that night.
Xu Qin is Lin Qianjie's new girlfriend. The two have been together for more than half a year, breaking up and getting back together, but they have never broken up successfully.
At that time, Lin Qianjie won the lawsuit, and he wanted to make a big fuss, but his stepmother stopped his card and ordered him to keep a low profile. Lin Qianjie was furious and drove his yacht out to sea. He used to drive a yacht out to sea frequently.
Fang Rui planned to take a statement from Chen Dongdong first, but Mu Mian said she wanted to go with him because she had something to ask them.
Fang Rui first asked Chen Dongdong to recount the incident.
Chen Dongdong recalled: "We were all drinking at the time. Lin Shao was in a bad mood, so he drank a little too much. We drank with him. But halfway through drinking, Lin Shao fell to the ground. He was twitching all over and foaming at the mouth. It was very scary.
After a while, Xiaoya also fell to the ground. She was twitching all over like Lin Shao. No matter how I called her, she ignored me.
Xu Qin and I were scared to death. We thought we would be the next to fall, but we waited for a long time and there was no response. I quickly drove the yacht back to the dock and called the police."
"Did Lin Qianjie drink a glass of wine with Wang Xiaoya?" Mu Mian asked.
"This...they..." Chen Dongdong looked very embarrassed and stammered, "We were playing a game at that time, Xiaoya lost, and the punishment was to feed Lin Shao with wine with her mouth. Does this count as drinking a glass of wine?"
"Whose glass of wine was that?"
"Lin Shao's."
Mu Mian and Fang Rui exchanged glances: It seems that the murderer's real target is Lin Qianjie. Wang Xiaoya died of poisoning, most likely because of that boring game.
"Did you drink the same wine?" Mu Mian asked.
"Yes, Jamaican rum." Chen Dongdong said, "Young Master Lin likes this kind of wine the most. We just drink with him."
"Does he have the habit of taking drugs?"
"No."
"Are you sure?" Mu Mian took out the bottle of medicine found at the murder scene, "Then what is this?"
"I... I don't know."
Fang Rui clasped his hands in front of his chest, "You know that you will be sentenced for providing false confessions?"
"It should be an aphrodisiac. I bought it for him from abroad. It's very effective." Chen Dongdong confessed immediately, "He is a little inferior about that aspect, so he likes to use that kind of drug."
"Did he take medicine on the night of the incident?" Mu Mian asked.
"Not really. Young Master Lin was in a bad mood that night and he was not in the mood. He probably didn't take his medicine."
Fang Rui asked, "How did Xu Qin and Lin Qianjie know each other? Are they close?"
"Wang Xiaoya introduced them. Xu Qin is an art teacher at a counseling institution. She has an artistic temperament, and she is very approachable and good at coaxing people, so Young Master Lin likes her very much. However, Young Master Lin has many girlfriends and she is just one of them."
Fang Rui and Mu Mian took notes from Xu Qin again.
Xu Qin is very beautiful, but she is timid and stutters when she speaks. "I don't know what happened at that time. Qianjie and Xiaoya suddenly fainted on the ground, and they were twitching all over. They looked very scary, just like they were having an epileptic seizure."
Fang Rui asked, "How did you get to know Lin Qianjie?"
"Xiaoya introduced me. I used to work part-time in Xiaoya's store, and we became friends. She later introduced me to Lin Qianjie. I like Lin Qianjie very much, so I went out with her."
Mu Mian asked, "Who helped Lin Qianjie pour the wine on the night of the crime?"
"Most of the time, it was Wang Xiaoya who fell. She was very passionate about Qianjie. She even used the game to force a kiss on Qianjie." Xu Qin said, "Officer, could it be that Wang Xiaoya poisoned him?"
"Why do you suspect her?"
"Don't look at Wang Xiaoya as heartless, but she is still very sentimental. She used to have a very good relationship with Lu Tian, and they often went out for dinner and shopping together. After what happened to Lu Tian, she must have resentment towards Qian Jie. After all, she is also responsible for what happened."
Fang Rui asked again: "What is the relationship between Lin Qianjie and Chen Dongdong?"
"I don't know about this. But I think no one would voluntarily be a lackey for others. He must have some resentment towards Qian Jie. And Qian Jie often lent him money. If Qian Jie died, he wouldn't have to pay it back."
"What about you, Miss Xu? How do you think your relationship with Lin Qianjie is?"
"Me? I don't love him, nor do I hate him. I'm with him just for his money. I definitely don't want him to die, otherwise where can I find such a generous sponsor?"
After leaving the interrogation room, Fang Rui said to Mu Mian: "Who do you think poisoned him?"
"They all seem to be suspects. We need to find out how the murderer poisoned him first." Mu Mian said.
Fang Rui thought of the white medicine bottle and analyzed, "Could the murderer make the poison look like an aphrodisiac and then put it in the medicine bottle? Lin Qianjie may have the habit of putting poison in wine. On the night of the crime, he put a poison pill in it."
"If the medicine is in a capsule, then there is such a possibility. But Lin Qianjie's aphrodisiac is not wrapped in a capsule. If there is a poison pill in it, it will be mixed with other pills, then it will leave traces in the bottle. We can detect it."
Fang Rui guessed again, "What if the outside of the poison is a normal aphrodisiac, and the inside is rat poison?"
