Inside the police station lobby

A young girl with a rash all over her face stood at the counter, her face filled with panic: "Uncle police, I want to report someone who is trying to harm me. Please save me, or I'm going to die."

The policeman was stunned. Looking at the girl who was still scratching her neck and arms, he comforted her, "Girl, are you having an allergy? I see you have a rash all over your body."

"I am allergic, but it's not my health. Someone poisoned me. I reported it to the school but no one cared."

"It must have been her. Her family is so powerful that no one dares to intervene. Woohoo, I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"

Seeing that she was emotionally broken, the police hurriedly went to find Xu Qianqian and asked her to calm the girl down and see what was going on. She looked at her with empty eyes and dark circles under her eyes.

Xu Qianqian nodded, put down the documents in her hand and waved to Li Fumei. The two of them took the little girl to a small room.

I poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her. Unexpectedly, the little girl trembled all over when she saw the water, as if she saw something scary. This strange behavior was puzzling.

Chen Wan waved her hands quickly: "No, I don't need any water, thank you."

"Okay, then can you tell me what's going on? You have a rash on your face with pustules. Why didn't you go to the hospital for treatment?"

"I went, but the doctor couldn't find anything. But I could feel that my body was failing me. If I didn't find you soon, I would die."

Xu Qianqian looked at her panicked look and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't be afraid, tell me in detail what happened, and I will help you analyze it."

Chen Wan's lips trembled. "Well, last week during the professional competition, I came in first place, along with my roommate, and she came in second."

"After she came back, she said something strange. She said that it was no big deal for me to get first place, and that as long as the first place disappeared, she would be the first. I didn't doubt her at first."

"But from that day on, I felt something was wrong with my body, and it got worse day by day. At first, my skin started to itch, and then a rash broke out that itched all the way to my bones..."

Xu Qianqian and Li Fumei listened carefully to her words, and only began to ask after she finished speaking: "In other words, your condition is serious as long as you are in the dormitory, and it feels better at home, right?"

Chen Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I wanted to take a leave to rest, but the school refused to approve it. They insisted that I go to school and report it to the counselor, who told me to go to the hospital's dermatology department for treatment."

"I went for a lot of tests, but the doctor said there was nothing he could find. I've never had any allergies since I was a child, and I haven't had any of these symptoms in the two years I was in school. I've never eaten anything weird."

"Ever since I got sick, she's been so happy. Every day she looks at me and smiles in a weird way. It's so scary."

She curled up with her hands clasped over her chest, trembling constantly, tears falling from her eyes. As she trembled, clumps of hair fell to the ground. Li Fumei looked down and said nothing.

Xu Qianqian looked down and saw it. After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. If she was really sick, according to what this girl said, it would take about a week.

What kind of disease can develop so quickly? It's more like... poisoning. Even an acute disease shouldn't cause such a big reaction.

Chen Wan muttered, sniffing her arms from time to time, looking at them with a look of despair: "Can you smell it? My body is getting smelly. She just wants me to rot away bit by bit."

"My skin is fine, but I feel like it's about to rot. Please investigate, okay? The hospital really can't find anything. I don't want to die."

"What did I do wrong? I really got first place, why am I going to be killed?"

Xu Qianqian leaned in and smelled it. There was only a hint of sweat and soap, no rotten smell at all.

He consoled her, "I smell nothing. Don't scare yourself. We can go check it out, but you also need to get treatment right away."

"If this hospital doesn't work, try another one."

Chen Wan's lips trembled, and she held her head in her hands. "I've gone to several hospitals for examinations, but they couldn't find any problems. But I can't wait any longer."

"In just one week, look at how my hair has fallen out, my nails are starting to peel off, my skin is covered in rashes, and my flesh is rotting. I can't wait any longer."

Li Fumei whispered, "Sister Xu, she didn't lie. Her body is really rotting and decaying, but it's just invisible and unscented right now. Come, eat this Huiyuan Pill."

"It's a bit difficult to completely cure you, but we need to stabilize your condition and investigate thoroughly before we can proceed with the next step."

Chen Wan put down her hand and looked at her, her eyes full of expectation, as if she had seen a life-saving straw: "Little sister, you believe what I say, right? You really have to believe me!"

"Well, I believe you. I've always been number one in exams since I was a child. When I was in school in the county town, the principal's granddaughter was jealous of me and put mercury in my water glass in an attempt to kill me."

Hearing this, Xu Qianqian's heart tightened and she looked at her in surprise.

Fumei is so calm now, it turns out she has experienced all this before. I can't help but feel sad when I think about it.

Chen Wan sobbed when she heard this: "Thank you for believing me, little sister. I really didn't lie to you. How much is your medicine?"

"Take one thousand. It will stabilize your condition first."

Chen Wan pinched the pill and put it in her mouth. She wanted to swallow it, but unexpectedly it melted into water at the entrance and went down her throat. The bone-chilling coldness in her body seemed to dissipate a little.

My body isn't shaking as much anymore.

He stared at her with wide eyes: "Little sister, this medicine works, it really works. I don't feel so bad anymore. Thank you, thank you so much."

He reached out to hold her hand, but when he saw his own hands were covered in rashes and pustules, he lowered his head dejectedly: "Sorry, my hands are a bit disgusting."

Li Fumei shook her head: "It's okay."

"Sister Xu, can we file a case and conduct a search? If we go now, we can catch them off guard and find evidence more easily. If we wait until the other party is alert, it might be difficult to find evidence."

Xu Qianqian looked at her, hesitant to speak. "Fumei, are you really sure this is a murder by poisoning, not caused by illness? If we file a case, we'll have to wait two days according to the procedures."

"Sister Xu can't wait any longer. The captain and the others are busy with other criminal cases. It would be the same if we two went. Look at this sister, can she hold out for two days?"

"Every day she delays is a day more dangerous for her. The sooner we find out, the easier it will be for her to get treatment. Otherwise, by the time the hospital has checked everything, it will be too late."

"Just check it out and you'll know, what do you think, Sister Xu?"
