"Han Bin, say a few words."
Han Bin glanced at the notebook. "The crime took place at Wanda Mall's Jiujiang Barbecue Restaurant. I was also eating at that restaurant at the time, so I was one of the witnesses. However, I didn't notice the deceased until his girlfriend, Ma Xiaolin, shouted for me to run over to check on the situation.
The time from the poisoning to the death of the deceased was very short, about a few minutes. I called 120 and the police, and everyone knows what happened after that.
There were a lot of people at the scene at the time of the crime, and the relevant personnel have made statements. The deceased and his girlfriend, Ma Xiaolin, entered the restaurant at 6: 32 pm. The poison took effect at 6: 50 pm, and he died at 6: 57 pm. According to the deceased's girlfriend and mother, the deceased had always been healthy and had no illnesses before his death. In addition, the deceased's girlfriend, Ma Xiaolin, ate with the deceased. Other than a bottle of beer, the two ate exactly the same food, but Ma Xiaolin showed no signs of poisoning.
That's the general situation of the poisoning case. "
Ding Xifeng asked, "Who else wants to add?"
No one answered.
Ding Xifeng continued, "Old Ma, what did your technical department find?"
Ma Xiwen said, "After bringing back the sealed ingredients and evidence from the restaurant, we conducted a lot of tests, but we didn't find any toxic ingredients that were fatal."
Han Bin said, "There's nothing in the beer either."
"No."
Wang Xiao asked, "Have you checked all the ingredients on the deceased's table?"
"All of them have been checked, and we didn't find any harmful ingredients that were fatal."
Wang Xiao frowned. "That's strange. How did the victim get poisoned?"
Zhu Jiaxu said, "Is it possible that it wasn't poisoning, but that the deceased had a special disease?"
Ding Xifeng looked at the forensic doctor, Li Can. "Forensic Doctor Li, is this possible?"
Li Can organized his words. "According to the reaction of the witnesses, the time between the death and the physical abnormalities of the deceased was very short. Coupled with some of the symptoms of the deceased at the time of death, only a few diseases match. However, I checked the deceased's file before his death, and he didn't have any similar cases. At the same time, I didn't find any related symptoms when I dissected the deceased's body, so we can rule out the possibility of the victim dying of a disease. "
Han Bin continued, "After the victim was poisoned, I called 120. Although the victim was already dead by the time 120 arrived, the doctor still checked the physical condition of the deceased. When I asked the female doctor, she estimated that the victim had been poisoned for no more than ten minutes.
However, the technical department did not find any toxic substances in the restaurant, which means that the victim was probably not poisoned in the restaurant. Could it be that the doctor misjudged the time when the poison would take effect? Maybe the toxicity of the poison is not that strong and fast? "
Li Can said, "No, I agree with that doctor's view. The victim was indeed poisoned to death, and this poison is very powerful. It can cause death in a short period of time. Judging from the composition of the poison, it should be sodium cyanide. If the dosage is sufficient, it can indeed cause death in a short period of time.
I tested the level of sodium cyanide in the deceased's body. It's extremely high, enough to cause death within ten minutes, so I agree with the female doctor. "
Ding Xifeng said, "That doesn't make sense. According to the forensic doctor's conclusion, the deceased must have consumed poison in the restaurant, but the technical department checked all the items in the restaurant and didn't find any related toxins. Isn't the conclusion of the two departments contradictory?"
Li Can stood up, walked to the projector, and put a photo on it. "When I was dissecting the deceased's stomach, I found this item in the deceased's stomach. I think it might be useful in solving the case."
A photo appeared on the projector. There was a glassware on the table. There was an unknown item in the glassware that looked smaller than a grain of rice.
Wang Xiao said, "Forensic Doctor Li, what exactly is this? It's so small. Who can see it clearly?"
Li Can said, "The main ingredients of this item are gelatin and food coloring."
When Zhu Jiaxu heard this, he acted as if he didn't hear anything. "What the hell is this? What's it used for? "
Ma Xiwen said, "Gelatin and food coloring are the main ingredients for making capsules."
"Capsules," Han Bin muttered and asked, "It's the outer skin of granular drugs."
Li Can said, "Some drugs will stimulate the esophagus, so the drugs will be made into granules and put into capsules. Capsules are not easy to digest and can play a protective role."
Han Bin came to a realization. "You're saying that the murderer might have put the poison in the capsules because the outer skin of the capsules is not easy to digest, thus delaying the time when the poison takes effect."
Li Can said, "In theory, this is possible, but I don't know much about investigating cases. I'll need you guys to judge for yourselves."
Ding Xifeng said, "That's right. The clue that Li Can provided is very important. Assuming that the murderer used the capsules to delay the time when the poison took effect, then the actual time when the deceased took the poison would have to be pushed back. Based on your speculation, if the poison was placed in the capsule, how long would the time when the poison took effect be delayed? "
Li Can thought for a moment. "This situation is more complicated. It depends on the quality and thickness of the capsule, as well as the digestive function of the deceased's stomach and physical condition. If I were to make an intuitive judgment, the error would be greater."
"Then take the error into account and give an approximate time."
"About one to five hours."
Han Bin said, "In other words, the scene of the poisoning wasn't at Jiujiang Restaurant. It was just the scene of the poison taking effect. If we extrapolate the time before the poison took effect, the time when the poison was taken is roughly between 1: 50 and 5: 50. We don't know the deceased's whereabouts during this period of time, nor do we know who he came into contact with. "
Ding Xifeng tapped the table with his right index finger. "Then investigate. Not only do we have to investigate the deceased's whereabouts during the time when he was poisoned, but we also have to investigate the deceased's surrounding relationships. We have to see who has conflicts and interests with him, and who has enough motive to poison him."
"Yes," Han Bin replied and continued, "Also, why would the murderer use such a method to kill someone? Can we deduce some clues about the murderer from the way he killed someone? "
Zhu Jiaxu replied, "Generally speaking, poisoning is a common method of murder for female murderers. Ma Xiaolin happens to be a female, so could she be the murderer?"
Ding Xifeng said, "I feel that the murderer's motive is to create an alibi for himself. If it weren't for Li Can's meticulousness and seriousness, we wouldn't have been able to deduce that the poison was in the capsule. We would definitely have misjudged the time when the deceased was poisoned. If we made a wrong judgment about this, it would be impossible to catch the real murderer.
Assuming that Ma Xiaolin is the murderer, it wouldn't have been easy for her to create an alibi through the capsule. Why would she eat with the deceased to increase her suspicion? Wouldn't that be unnecessary? These two methods are completely contradictory. "
