Chapter 50 Reversal of Verdict: Familiar Suspect

When the results of the toxicology test on the ice box came out, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Mu Mian glanced at the report and closed it again. The result was within her expectations.

Mu Mian returned to the office and saw Fang Rui was still working overtime. She handed the report to Fang Rui, "Fang Rui, I know how the murderer poisoned."

"This murderer is quite smart, using such a covert method to poison."

"Using ice cubes to poison is a very common method in detective novels. It is simple and does not easily leave traces." Mu Mian continued, "I just conducted a poison test on the ice box, and I detected the component of strychnine on it. The murderer used this ice box to make the poisoned ice cubes."

"So the murderer is very likely to have made the poisoned ice cubes in advance and stored them in the refrigerator," Fang Rui analyzed, "On the day of the crime, Lin Qianjie happened to use that poisoned ice cube, so he was poisoned to death. But how could the murderer be sure that Lin Qianjie would definitely use that ice cube?"

Fang Rui soon learned the answer from Chen Dongdong.

"Mr. Lin likes to add ice cubes to his wine, but this kind of wine is meant to be strong, so we don't like to add it." Chen Dongdong explained, "Mr. Lin is a face-conscious person, but he can't drink much, so he can only reduce the alcohol concentration in this way. We all know this, but no one dares to expose him."

"Did he add ice cubes to his wine on the night of the crime?"

"Yes, of course he did! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to drink more than a few glasses of this strong liquor."

"..." Fang Rui was speechless. Lin Qianjie was really a face-conscious person.

Although the murderer's method of poisoning had been solved, it made the case more complicated.

Firstly, Lin Qianjie's yacht is parked at the dock, so it is not difficult to sneak in. Lin Qianjie himself has brought many friends there; secondly, there are many people who hate Lin Qianjie, and it is impossible to track them all down.

Jiang Yun and the Lin family kept urging the progress of the case. They even asked gangsters to beat Chen Dongdong half to death, trying to find the person who poisoned him from Chen Dongdong.

Fang Rui had to ask someone to protect Chen Dongdong in the hospital to prevent him from having any accidents.

When Mu Mian passed by Director Wang's office, she heard Jiang Yun complaining that their progress in handling the case was too slow and asked to replace the case staff.

Director Wang was troubled by her and had to let Captain Li, who was originally in charge of the case, also follow up on the case.

Mu Mian thought Jiang Yun was very fierce, just like the evil stepmother in fairy tales.

"Mu Mian."

Mu Mian was about to go back to the office, but was stopped by Jiang Yun, "Mu Mian, I am your mother. You have my photo, you should still remember me, right?"

Jiang Yun had an expectant expression on his face.

"I don't know you!" Mu Mian said calmly, "My mother is dead. But she was very good to me, and she will always live in my memory."

Mu Mian was talking about her adoptive mother, a very gentle woman.

"Is it that Shen Xinyin doesn't let you recognize me?" Jiang Yun held Mu Mian, his tone a little anxious, "Shen Xinyin is not as good as you think. Their family's purpose of adopting you is not simple. They didn't adopt you because they like you, they adopted you to grab your father's inheritance. Mu Mian, go back to your mother."

Mu Mian's eyes widened, she didn't know why Jiang Yun said that.

Her adoptive parents spent a lot of money and wasted a lot of energy to treat her autism. If they just wanted to grab her father's inheritance, then they could just throw her into an orphanage and let her fend for herself.

Fang Rui was called to the office by the director and happened to see this scene. He pulled Mu Mian behind him and said to Jiang Yun, "Ms. Jiang, if you are dissatisfied with our efficiency in handling cases, go and complain first, and don't touch our staff!"

"Fang Rui, she is my daughter. I'm just reminiscing about the past with her."

"But Mu Mian doesn't want to reminisce with you!"

Mu Mian nodded, "Fang Rui, I don't know her, I want to go back to work."

"Okay, go back!"

Jiang Yun glared at Fang Rui with dissatisfaction, "Mind your own business! I am Mu Mian's mother, and it is none of your business as an outsider to interfere in our affairs!"

"Mu Mian was once scammed by a telecom fraudster. The scammer told her that the scammer was her mother, so she transferred all her money to her. She was looking forward to meeting her mother, but when she met you, you hurt her badly."

Jiang Yun's eyes were slightly red, and she regretted saying that to Mu Mian.

"Ms. Jiang, if you really love your daughter a little bit, don't hurt her again."

The director told Fang Rui to increase the number of personnel to investigate and let Captain Li assist him. Fang Rui guessed that Jiang Yun was exerting pressure again.

"Fang Rui, what bad luck, this case has been transferred to my hands again."

Fang Rui said helplessly, "We just need people to check the social relations of the deceased. It would be great if you can help!"

Fang Rui obtained from Chen Dongdong the list of people who had been on the yacht in the past month, including the cleaning staff, a total of 25 people. To their surprise, Lu Tian was one of them.

Xiao Zhang looked at Lu Tian's name and exclaimed, "Oh my God, the person who poisoned her couldn't be Lu Tian, ​​right? No one hates Lin Qianjie more than Lu Tian now, right?"

Lu Tian boarded the yacht on July 19, the day before she was raped by Lin Qianjie.

"No, no! The murderer is definitely not Lu Tian. Lu Tian was raped by Lin Qianjie on July 20. She was not raped at that time, so why would she want to kill Lin Qianjie?" Chen Xue retorted, "She can't kill people for no reason, right?"

Fang Rui suddenly found that there were still some doubts about Lu Tian's rape. For example, even if Lin Qianjie deliberately created an opportunity to meet Lu Tian, ​​how could they take so many photos if Lu Tian didn't cooperate? For

another example, Lin Qianjie and Lu Tian were chatting in the living room that night, why did Lin Qianjie drag Lu Tian into the room and rape her instead of starting in the living room.

Fang Rui thought of what Lu Tian's mother said in court. If what she said was true, then...

After work, Mu Mian and Chen Xue saw Lu Tian standing at the door of the Municipal Bureau, as if waiting for someone. She saw Mu Mian and the others and greeted them warmly: "Forensic Doctor Mu, Forensic Doctor Chen."

"Tiantian, are you back from your trip?" Chen Xue was very happy to see Lu Tian. After spending some time together, they had a very good relationship. "Is it fun abroad? I want to go too, but I don't have money!"

"I brought gifts for you." Lu Tian handed Chen Xue a gift bag, which contained postcards and a souvenir made of conch.

Chen Xue liked it very much.

Lu Tian handed Mu Mian a gift box, "Doctor Shen said that you especially like to open gifts, so I put the gift in the box. I hope you like it."

Mu Mian opened the box, and inside was a string of wind chimes made of colorful shells.

"Very beautiful, I like it very much." Mu Mian closed the box and held it carefully.

"Tiantian, let's go, let's go eat, I'll treat you to hot pot." Chen Xue hugged Lu Tian, ​​she was very happy that Lu Tian was able to get over the pain.

"Okay. I haven't had hot pot for a long time."

Mu Mian felt a little depressed when she thought of hot pot. After she had the courage to try it that day, she got a sore throat and had toothache for several days. She didn't want to eat hot pot.

"Chen Xue, Lu Tian, ​​I can't go to eat hot pot with you. I have to go home, goodbye!" Mu Mian refused very bluntly. "

Okay, then we'll go together." Chen Xue waved to Mu Mian, and drove away with Lu Tian.

Mu Mian waited for a while, and saw Fang Rui's car also drove out. She got in the car holding the gift box.

"Who gave you the gift?" Fang Rui asked.

"Lu Tian." Mu Mian said, "She went to the seaside for a trip. She gave me a very beautiful shell wind chime. I like it very much."

"When did you and Chen Xue become so close to her?"

Mu Mian was a little sad. She looked at Fang Rui, "If Lu Tian is the murderer who poisoned Lin Qianjie, can we not arrest her?"
