Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 51 The Murderer Escaped
Zhuang Yanzheng and the other two went to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the first thing we heard was the crying of Jiang Lingjie's family.

"Captain Zhuang." The two police officers who were monitoring Jiang Lingjie at the hospital walked over.

"What happened?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"The doctor said the test results showed it was cyanide poisoning."

"Around 12:15, we heard the call bell at the nurses' station ring. The nurse calmly entered the ward and hurriedly ran out to call the doctor on duty."

"In just two or three minutes, the person was gone."

“We’ve been keeping watch outside the ward the whole time to make sure no one except the nurses has gone in.”

"Did any nurses come in or out before I pressed the call bell?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Around midnight, the nurses came to check on us. It was the nurse on duty, and she was still there."

Zhuang Yanzheng went to see the doctor to find out what was going on.

Su Miaoyi followed him.

The doctor's diagnosis was...

Death caused by oral cyanide.

Cyanide is extremely toxic; it can be fatal within two to three minutes of oral ingestion.

That means Jiang Lingjie ate something before pressing the call button.

It can't be suicide by poisoning.

The control of cyanide is very strict.

What could have caused him to eat something in the early hours of the morning?

When Zhuang Yanzheng left the doctor's office and went to the ward...

Jiang Lingjie's mother was grabbing the police officers' clothes and shouting at them.

Zhuang Yanzheng immediately walked over, pulled the policeman who was being dragged away, and stood in front of him: "Zhuang Yanzheng, the head of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, talk to me about something."

"Zhuang Yanzheng!" The woman grabbed his clothes. "What crime did my son commit?! His girlfriend died! He was heartbroken! He was hospitalized! Didn't you have police stationed at the hospital?! How could he have been poisoned to death?! What were you doing?!"

"Please calm down." Zhuang Yanzheng felt a tap on the arm from her, but he didn't say anything.

He understands the feelings of the family members.

"All you do is monitor him, not protect him!" the woman shouted. "What are you good for! What use are you! Give me back my son's life! Give me back my son's life!"

The woman's family pulled her away.

The woman cried loudly.

Su Miaoyi walked to Zhuang Yanzheng's side and looked up at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng led her to the side and said, "Let Lu Zhishen take you home first."

"I," Su Miaoyi only managed to utter one sentence before freezing in place.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her suddenly blank and dazed expression.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

A day passed, and he had almost forgotten that she could see.

Lu Zhishen listened to her utter only one word and then fell silent. He tilted his head and looked at her, asking, "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Yanzheng pulled him aside: "Don't disturb her."

Lu Zhishen realized what was happening: "What is she doing?"

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

Lu Zhishen looked at her, realizing that this was how it was going to happen.

He was curious and craned his neck to get a closer look.

Just as she stretched her arm out a little, Su Miaoyi suddenly shuddered.

Lu Zhishen was startled and instinctively grabbed Zhuang Yanzheng's arm.

Zhuang Yanzheng frowned in disgust and shook off his hand.

Lu Zhishen looked at Su Miaoyi: "Awake?"

"What did you see?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Nurse, nurse, there's something wrong." Su Miaoyi walked towards the nurses' station.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Lu Zhishen followed.

“I think I saw a nurse bring him medicine from Jiang Lingjie’s perspective.” Su Miaoyi couldn’t see his face, but she saw the hospital wristband on his wrist with his name on it. “Three capsules. The nurse told him to take the medicine six hours after dinner. There was setting sun in the room at the time, around three or four in the afternoon.”

“I saw another part.” The scene Su Miaoyi saw this time was very short, and it consisted of two separate scenes. “The room was very dark, with only a bedside lamp on the bedside table. Jiang Lingjie took the medicine and soon felt a burning sensation in his throat and difficulty breathing. He immediately pressed the call button and then collapsed onto the bed.”

As they talked, they arrived at the nurses' station.

I asked the on-duty nurse for all the nurses' information.

Su Miaoyi saw half of the nurse's face.

But no one was found in this department.

Lu Zhishen asked the nurse for a pen and a piece of paper: "You tell me, I'll draw." "Yan Cheng is here, I'm going over there to discuss the autopsy." Zhuang Yanzheng left.

While describing her appearance to Lu Zhishen, Su Miaoyi asked for photos of all the nurses in the hospital.

There was a case of cyanide poisoning at the hospital.

The department head and the hospital director both came.

It's very simple to get access to photos of all the nurses in the hospital.

Lu Zhishen quickly drew half of the face and then made some revisions.

Su Miaoyi had no hope of finding anyone at the hospital.

She felt it was more likely that an outsider was impersonating a nurse.

But she found it at the hospital.

She is a nurse in the inpatient department of gastroenterology.

Lu Jing, female, is thirty-three years old.

Lu Zhishen immediately contacted the police station to investigate this person.

Communication with Zhuang Yanzheng was not going smoothly.

In the end, they only agreed to perform a post-mortem examination.

While Yan Cheng was undergoing the autopsy, news came from the police station.

Lu Jing's address has been found.

Zhuang Yanzheng immediately led his men over.

But when they arrived at their lodgings, the person had already run away.

They reviewed surveillance footage from near Lu Jing's residence and the hospital.

Su Miaoyi watched the surveillance footage until dawn.

Got nothing.

He finally fell asleep on the table and didn't wake up until breakfast.

Su Miaoyi stared blankly, her entire body frozen except for the fact that she was chewing on a steamed bun.

"Are you alright?" Yan Cheng brought breakfast and then sat down next to her.

“Not good,” Su Miaoyi said. “Very bad.”

"The forensic center is better; we don't have to work so hard there," Yan Cheng said.

Su Miaoyi chewed on her steamed bun, then looked at him after a while and said, "You're lying to me. You didn't sleep yesterday either."

“Yesterday was an accident,” Yan Cheng said.

“When you’re recruiting, you all talk a good game. But once you’ve got them, you work them to the bone,” Su Miaoyi said.

Yan Cheng remained silent.

Su Miaoyi asked, "What were the autopsy results?"

"It is indeed cyanide poisoning; the blood test showed it," Yan Cheng said. "No other drug components were found in the blood. The three capsules you saw should all contain cyanide."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"Come work as my assistant in the art studio," Lu Zhishen suddenly said.

He was also watching the surveillance footage.

Su Miaoyi slept for a while, but he didn't sleep at all.

It seems the soul has been gone for a while now.

Only an empty shell remains.

Su Miaoyi glanced at him and thought he didn't even have the strength to chew a bun.

Zhuang Yanzheng walked over and stood between Lu Zhishen and Su Miaoyi, reaching out to take the buns from Lu Zhishen's bag.

Lu Zhishen's soul quickly returned to his body and pressed down on the bag.

Zhuang Yanzheng paused.

Lu Zhishen realized that these were not his snacks, so he let go of them.

Zhuang Yanzheng has been stealing his food so much that he's developed a conditioned reflex to it.

Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at him, then stopped eating his food, took one from Su Miaoyi's bag, and ate it in two bites: "Did you find anything?"

"No," Su Miaoyi said. "Lu Jing's car left the hospital after get off work this afternoon and disappeared from the surveillance footage shortly afterward. We haven't found it yet."

"Eat to clear your head, we have a meeting in a bit," Zhuang Yanzheng said before leaving.

Su Miaoyi held up the steamed bun in her hand, wanting to ask him if he still wanted more, but she didn't say it aloud.
　It's another day to thank everyone for their donations and votes.
