God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 118 Ecstasy
At this moment, Murong Xi suddenly frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and she whispered, "Could it be that someone poisoned the dishes while serving them?"
When Lu Tingyan heard this, a glimmer of hope surged in her heart. She clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Yes! It's very possible!" Her tone was full of anticipation and surprise, as if she saw the dawn of solving the problem.
Xiao Lu also quickly remembered something, frowned, and said: "When I brought out the dishes, a man touched me. Could it be that he poisoned me at that time?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, but his eyes revealed certainty of his thoughts.
Lu Tianyu nodded, agreeing with Xiao Lu's opinion. His expression was serious and focused, thinking about various possibilities. Then, he turned to look at Shopkeeper Lin and asked, "Xiao Lu, do you remember what that man looked like?"
Xiao Lu tried hard to recall the scene at that time, and then replied: "I remember he seemed to be wearing a green gown and was about 1.8 feet tall." Although his description was simple, it provided everyone with some clues.
When the chief of the yamen runners heard this, his face instantly became serious. He knew that time was running out and every second could affect the safety of a life. So he quickly nodded, agreeing with Lu Tingyan's proposal, and immediately turned around and shouted to the yamen runners behind him: "Quick! Check all the bowls and plates here immediately, don't miss any of them, and see if there are any abnormalities!"
With his order, the whole scene suddenly became tense. The yamen runners took action one after another, carefully checking the bowls, chopsticks and plates on each table, not missing any details. Their actions were swift and decisive, and they did not dare to be negligent for fear of missing out on key evidence.
Upon hearing this, the yamen runners all took action. They divided into several groups and began to conduct a detailed inspection of the tableware. For a while, the only sounds in the restaurant were the sound of dishes and chopsticks gently colliding and the hurried footsteps of the yamen runners.
After an intense and careful search, a bailiff finally shouted in the crowd: "Boss, we found it! There is some strange powder on the plate of pickled fish that the poisoned man just ate!" As he spoke, he carefully raised the plate in his hand, for fear of destroying any possible clues.
Upon hearing this, the chief of the yamen runners immediately stepped forward, took the plate and examined it carefully. He saw that there was indeed a layer of fine, strange-colored powder attached to the edge of the plate, which looked neither like food residue nor like common seasoning. He was startled and immediately realized that this was probably the culprit that caused the man to be poisoned.
"What is this?" The head of the yamen runners frowned and asked in confusion.
Lu Tingyan took the plate, observed it carefully for a while, and then answered seriously: "This should be a kind of Ecstasy Powder poison. After taking the "Ecstasy Powder", the poisoned person will initially feel dizzy and dizzy, as if he is in the clouds. Then, his eyes will blur and the scenes in front of him will begin to overlap. After about a quarter of an hour, the poisoned person will feel his stomach churning, a strong sense of nausea will surge into his heart, and then he will begin to vomit violently. As the poison spreads in the body, the poisoned person's limbs will twitch, tremble uncontrollably, and sweat will pour out. White foam will overflow from the mouth unconsciously, and the breathing will become rapid and disordered. After a while, the poisoned person will fall into a coma. In the coma, the poisoned person may mutter to himself and talk nonsense, as if communicating with an illusory scene."
"The little girl is right."
"I was sitting nearby just now and saw that the man had the same symptoms as the little girl described."
"This little girl is amazing."
"Damn it! Who did it?" the head of the yamen runners roared angrily, his voice full of resentment and helplessness.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the man who had been in a coma suddenly woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, as if he had not yet fully regained consciousness.
Seeing this, Lu Tingyan hurried forward and asked with concern: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
The man replied weakly: "I feel much better, but I'm still a little dizzy."
Lu Tingyan gently patted the man's shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, take your time, your body will gradually recover."
At this time, the chief of the yamen runners came forward, looked at the man seriously, and asked in a serious tone: "Do you still remember who poisoned you?"
The man frowned and tried to recall, but his memory seemed a little fuzzy. He shook his head and said weakly: "I... I don't know. I just felt dizzy and my stomach felt uncomfortable, and then I lost consciousness."
The chief of the yamen officers frowned, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He sighed and said to himself: "It seems that this murderer is very cunning and did not leave any clues."
Lu Tingyan thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She whispered to the man, "Think about it carefully. Have you ever felt anything unusual around you or smelled any strange smell?"
The man closed his eyes and tried to recall what had happened before. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "It seems like there is a faint fragrance, but I'm not sure what it is."
Lu Tingyan and the chief of the yamen officers looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts. Perhaps this clue could help them find the murderer who poisoned her.
Lu Tingyan turned to the man and said, "Thank you for the clues you provided. We will find the real murderer as soon as possible and make sure you get fair treatment."
The man nodded gratefully, a trace of fatigue on his face. Lu Tingyan gently helped him lie down to rest, and told him to take good care of his body.
The head of the yamen looked at Lu Tingyan, his eyes not only showing admiration, but also a bit of respect. He nodded slightly, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Miss Lu, you are not only very smart, but also have a heart to plead for the people. In such a chaotic situation, you can quickly and calmly analyze and help us find clues. It is rare. If you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid this storm would have become even bigger, and more innocent people would have been implicated."
Hearing this, Lu Tingyan's face flushed. She shook her head gently, and her tone was full of humility: "Your Excellency's words are too serious. I am just doing my best to help the victim. The restaurant is a place where guests gather. How can we sit idly by when something like this happens? What's more, it is our responsibility as a member of the restaurant to reveal the truth and clear everyone's name."
