"It's me," Dr. Qin Shou said truthfully.
A minor surgery was scheduled for lunchtime, and he didn't have time to eat. He came to the cafeteria after the surgery and found that the two people were already dead.
"Xiaoqin can testify to this. It was because the surgery came so suddenly that I called her to the ward."
Jiang Xiao nodded. No wonder Nurse Xiaoqin was rushing towards the inpatient department with her lunchbox.
Dr. Qin's explanation is reasonable enough; even if there is suspicion, it is not as great as that between himself and Yang Tao.
"How long was the interval between when we left and when you discovered the body?"
The surrounding patients were already starting to show signs of dissatisfaction.
With the evidence and witnesses all in place, they just wanted the murderer to be brought to justice as soon as possible and didn't want to listen to his rambling.
Dr. Qin Shou, on the other hand, began to think back seriously.
Because he thought the same as Xiaoqin: how could a rich guy like him make such a low-level mistake?
It is common knowledge that if a rich person wants to kill an ordinary person, they can find dozens of ways to do it with a mere glance, so why would they need to do it themselves?
Or rather, truly wealthy people disdain getting entangled in any feuds with ordinary people.
Yes, but not necessary.
"According to the surveillance footage, it took about an hour from when you left until I arrived at the cafeteria."
"But the body died within about half an hour of you leaving."
Jiang Xiao remained noncommittal about Qin Shou's words, since he wasn't a forensic doctor and knew nothing about the field.
"I bet this guy caught the dean's wife and the chef having an affair. The adulterous couple, worried about being exposed, started fighting, but he was outmatched and killed in the process," said a man who considered himself a wise strategist.
How should I put it? It's rough, but it's reasonable.
Time, people, and place.
"Sigh, since it's already happened, let's hurry up and deal with the body. It's quite frightening to look at."
A woman not wearing a hospital gown said this while pulling a little boy along, intending to return to the inpatient department.
A man next to her, who wasn't wearing a hospital gown, echoed the woman's words.
"Yes, although the weather has cooled down a lot recently, a corpse left here will eventually rot. We should hurry up and have the police come and take the person away."
"Hilarious! None of you have professional forensic doctors or criminal investigators, and you're still chatting like this?"
Ah this
Dr. Qin Shou blushed; his deduction of the time of death was indeed a bit outside his area of expertise.
Jiang Xiao didn't care at all.
He wasn't afraid of the police or anything like that.
After all, Confucius said: If I can't beat someone, can't I at least run away?
Even if the police catch me, I don't care as long as I'm not shot on the spot.
Anyway, I only have a day and a half left before I leave this world, but Yang Tao's words...
This young woman might take the blame for everything.
This is also why Jiang Xiao didn't actually resort to violence; Yang Tao's nature wasn't bad, and she shouldn't have suffered such an undeserved disaster.
Jiang Xiao turned his gaze to Xiao Qin again.
Time, people, and place.
The problem has returned to its initial point.
There were only five people in total, and two of them died.
And he and Yang Tao were certain that they had not killed anyone.
Even if the nurse seems innocent, you have reason to suspect that she used some unknown means.
Feeling scared as the rich man stared at her, Xiaoqin subconsciously moved to the side.
"Xiaoqin, when you came to this cafeteria, did you notice the Dean's wife?"
Xiaoqin shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing and was completely innocent, and that the surveillance footage could prove it.
"Okay, let's ask you another way. Did you talk to this chef about anything?"
"No, I just got my food, and then..."
Xiaoqin was taken aback, then scratched her head and said hesitantly.
"Huh? If we're talking about chatting, there really is."
"Because I'm usually busy with work, I chat with the bald uncle when I get my food, and he'll give me extra food."
"What did we talk about?"
"It's nothing, but before he left, he took a few sugar cubes that I had with me. He said he was exhausted and tired of eating heavy oil and salty stews every day, so he wanted something sweet. He often asked me to bring him snacks before."
hehehe~
The surrounding patients all wore knowing looks on their faces.
What is heavy on oil and salt?
"Physical exhaustion" is probably the real reason.
Every day, the dean's wife would keep me going from seven o'clock until late morning. Even the strongest body couldn't take it.
and many more?
Sugar cubes?!
Sudden.
Xiaoqin's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something serious.
"Oh no, I think I know who the murderer is."
Chapter 258 Murderer
what's the situation?
How did you know who the murderer was?
As soon as Xiaoqin finished speaking, Dr. Qin Shou realized what was happening and rushed to the kitchen.
When they saw the food placed on the stove, they immediately understood.
"I see."
Seeing the startled expressions of the medical staff, everyone followed them into the cafeteria.
On the stove was a frying pan with some uneaten eggs inside.
There seemed to be other substances inside the egg, but because of the heating process, it's now impossible to identify what those substances are.
"Xiaoqin? Where are your sugar cubes? Do you have any more?"
Faced with the doctor's three questions in quick succession, Xiaoqin could only shake her head helplessly, indicating that the chef had already taken them all.
"Hey you two, what's with all this fuss?"
Qin Shou stroked his chin and carefully placed the egg into a vacuum bag.
"Hmm? If Jiang Xiao didn't kill the person, then perhaps there's another explanation."
"Eggs + saccharin".
Under certain specific conditions, eating these two foods together can be fatal.
Although the most important physical evidence, the sugar cube, has been lost, making it impossible to determine whether the sugar cube is made of saccharin.
However, it would be sufficient to determine whether the cause of death for the chef and the dean's wife was food poisoning.
Moreover, the eggs in the frying pan can also be used as physical evidence, and the unidentified substance can also be tested. Qin Shou felt that it was most likely saccharin.
of course.
The bald chef is undoubtedly in excellent physical condition, so this food poisoning situation is unlikely to be fatal to him.
But
What if the bald man was already seriously injured, or even on the verge of death?
As for why this idiot would put eggs and sugar cubes together...
Everyone had a vague guess in their hearts.
When a person is physically exhausted, the best way to replenish their energy is with sugar water and salt water.
This reminds me of the daily lives of the chef and the dean's wife.
Well, the bald chef has probably long since lost interest in the idea of a gentleman's tacit understanding.
When someone wants to nourish their body, the best supplement is actually eggs.
The nutritional content of an egg far surpasses that of fancy things like bird's nest.
