The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 310 Madness
Chu Yunxi was so angry that she almost laughed. Didn't he have high blood pressure? I guess it was because he had been in the officialdom for many years and had too many social events. In her previous era, this disease was too common. She just needed to take antihypertensive drugs on time and control her diet.
I didn't expect that such a common disease would be described as a scourge by people with ulterior motives, and people were even fooled into using virgin blood to prepare medicine. It's really a deception.
Zhao Yuzhi saw that Chu Yunxi had a bad face and thought that she really had a terminal illness. He knew that Chu Yunxi's medical skills were excellent. Many people with heart diseases had been cured by her before, and the emperor's illness was also cured by her. Her medical skills had long been passed down as miraculous.
"Princess, you don't have to hide it from me. I know I don't have much time left to live. Well, let me, this old bone, accompany Tingyu. He won't be alone on the road to the underworld."
Chu Yunxi said unhappily: "If you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you, but if you want to die of illness, I'm afraid it will take decades."
Zhao Yuzhi was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Princess, what...what did you say?"
Chu Yunxi had packed up her things and stood up, throwing a bottle of medicine to him, "Take half a pill every morning, don't take more. The consultation fee this time will be paid from the property confiscated from your house. After today, if you want to take medicine again, you have to pay for it yourself."
After saying this, he walked straight out of the cell without caring about Zhao Yuzhi's reaction.
Zhao Yuzhi slowly picked up the bottle of medicine, his hands were shaking, looking at the words on it that he could not understand, he just felt that everything was a joke. If he had come to beg the princess when he found out he was sick, Tingyu would not have to take the risk, and now he would not have lost his life. And his career, future, family, everything, would still remain the same. How wonderful it would be.
At this moment, Zhao Yuzhi truly regretted his decision, but unfortunately, there was no turning back.
Xiao Mubei was waiting for Chu Yunxi outside the cell. Chu Yunxi told him about Zhao Yuzhi's situation and said at the end, "Such a person disregards others for his own sake and is selfish. Even if he didn't kill the person, it was equivalent to an indirect death at his hands. As the prefect of Jingzhao, he knew that his son had committed a crime but pretended to turn a blind eye. In public, he is ashamed of all the people in the capital who trusted him. In private, he personally sent his son to the guillotine. Such a person can only be condemned by his conscience if he lives with guilt."
Xiao Mubei understood Chu Yunxi's intention, and he didn't say much. Zhao Yuzhi's ending was already decided and there would be no change. As for the follow-up matters, he didn't need to worry about it.
The two came to the cell where Wei Zhe'an was imprisoned. He was extremely depressed at the moment. Compared with yesterday, he seemed to have aged ten years. Overnight, his hair had almost completely turned white. He was in a daze and kept muttering, "How is it possible? How could he catch up with me? He actually caught up with me?"
Xiao Mubei entered the cell and called him a few times, but he didn't respond at all. Chu Yunxi took his wrist and felt his pulse, then flipped his eyelids and pulled Xiao Mubei out.
"There's no need to interrogate him. He's gone mad."
"Why?" Xiao Mubei was puzzled. Why did he go crazy after being caught? What happened?
Chu Yunxi said: "I guess he became crazy because he was caught by his senior brother and was severely stimulated. Your Majesty, do you remember that when we were in the cave, he once said something. He said that as long as you can catch me, I will let you do whatever you want. This sentence shows that he is very confident in his Qinggong, which may be the thing he is most proud of in his life. He is old, and the thing he is worth bragging about in his life is that he committed so many flower-picking cases but no one caught him. This is his spiritual pillar for a lifetime. This time, he originally thought that he would be able to escape smoothly like before, but who knew that he could not get rid of his senior brother, and was finally caught by his senior brother. The belief in his heart collapsed. This incident made his brain difficult to accept for a while, and slowly became chaotic. There was only this one thing left in his mind, and he could no longer perceive anything else in the outside world."
So that's how it is. Although it was just Chu Yunxi's guess, judging from what Wei Zhe'an has been saying, it should be like this. Xiao Mubei couldn't help but sigh. Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not come. Now Wei Zhe'an's retribution has come.
Since the man has gone crazy, these flower-picking cases can be considered closed, except for the lack of a confession from the murderer. However, all the previous evidence is sufficient to prove that Wei Zhe'an is the murderer in the flower-picking cases, and the case can be concluded even without a confession.
Back in the courtyard, Chu Yunxi sat down tiredly on the couch in Xiao Mubei's study and poured herself a glass of water. Xiao Mubei sat in front of the desk and picked up some materials on the white bone case that Li Jinghong had just sorted out to read. He asked casually, "What problem did Doctor Lu encounter? They even asked you to come over."
"There is an old man who used to take some kind of central nervous system stimulant and became addicted. Now he knows that the side effects of the drug are too great, so he wants Doctor Lu to help him quit. But he has been taking it for too long and it is difficult to quit. Even if he has great willpower and can quit, the damage to his body has already been done, and I am afraid his life span will be affected."
Xiao Mubei sighed, "There are always some people who like to take some so-called tonic medicines, thinking that they can prolong their lives, but they don't know that they ruin their health instead."
"Yeah, come to think of it, this person's surname also seems to be Xiao. Could he be a member of the royal family?" Chu Yunxi recalled seeing the medical record today and felt surprised for a moment. Now that she mentioned it, she asked Xiao Mubei casually.
"Also surnamed Xiao? What's his name?" Xiao Mubei also asked casually, thinking that maybe it was one of his uncles.
Chu Yunxi was suddenly excited. She thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer. Finally, she said, "I'll go to Ruyun Tower tomorrow to take a look."
"That's not necessary. I just asked casually to see if I know him." Xiao Mubei really didn't care. He buried his head in reading the case file of the White Bone Case.
Chu Yunxi rested for a while, then went to the morgue, wanting to take another look at the four skeletons to see if she could find some clues. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered the name, "Oh, that patient's name is Xiao Rui."
Xiao Mubei stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning, "What did you say?"
Chu Yunxi was startled by him and said, "I said, the name of the patient that Doctor Lu told me, do you know him?"
