Sang Qianqian turned around and saw Ruan Xiaodie jumping over toward her. “Sister Qianqian!”
Sang Qianqian hugged her and smiled, “Your stomach doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Ruan Xiaodie shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore after 1 took my medicine.”
Xie Shi’an added, “She was in good spirits. We even went out to catch cicadas.”
Behind Ruan Xiaodie, the old butler was carrying a white sarong with several chirping cicadas inside. He smiled and said, “There’s one inside that the Miss caught herself.”
Ruan Xiaodie was very proud. “Sister, do you want a cicada? 1’11 give you one.”
“I don’t want it. You can keep it and play with it.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and pointed in the direction of the bedroom. “Come and follow me to the room. Let me listen to your pulse and see if Xiaodie is better now.”
Ruan Xiaodie immediately ran into the bedroom and obediently climbed into bed with a ‘praise me’ expression on her face.
“Xiaodie is such an obedient girl.”
Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but pat her head. “Close your eyes. The examination will be over soon.”
Ruan Xiaodie obediently closed her eyes.
As usual, Sang Qianqian took her pulse, ma.s.saged her, and did acupuncture. After a series of procedures, the girl fell asleep as usual.
“Her recovery speed is quite good. She will be fine as long as she is treated according to the routine. However, it wouldn’t be good to let her get the same stomach problem from eating excessive ice cream as last night.”
Sang Qianqian packed up the acupuncture bag and stood up to remind Xie Shi’an.
Xie Shi’an was embarra.s.sed. “It was my negligence. 1 didn’t expect this girl to be so scheming. Not only did she remember where I put the ice cream, but she also knew how to lure the tiger away from the mountain and order all the servants to leave.”
She smiled and said, “Her illness is getting better day by day, but it doesn’t mean that her IQ is also recovering with each pa.s.sing day. You have to look at Xiaodie from a developing perspective.”
Xie Shi’an nodded repeatedly.
When the two of them returned to the living room, Cui Ke was still waiting.
He had already read the medical records and his att.i.tude had changed a lot. However, he was still suspicious. “Did my brother really recover his heartbeat and breathing yesterday?”
“I have no reason to lie to you.”
Sang Qianqian said, “At that time, there were two other doctors in charge of watching over him. They both signed their names on the medical records. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them yourself.”
“If my brother is still alive, then why did he suddenly pa.s.s away this morning?” Cui Ke glared at her.
Xie Shi’an couldn’t stand his question anymore. “That’s why we need to do an autopsy to determine the cause of your brother’s death. Many patients die in the hospital every day. Do you think Dr. Sang is so free that she can just do an autopsy every moment?”
Cui Ke was speechless.
“Autopsies don’t necessarily require a dissection. Many of the deceased can be examined by routine identification.”
Sang Qianqian explained patiently, “Even if we really want to dissect him, we’ll ask for his family’s permission. We won’t do anything rash.”
Cui Ke was relieved. He thought for a while and said, “Alright, 1’11 believe you this once!”
Sang Qianqian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Hanyu was still in his office at the company when she returned to her apartment.
She called him directly and told him her thoughts. “1 need you to help me find a reliable forensic inst.i.tution.”
“Also, send me a copy of the surveillance footage from the past few days.”
Shen Hanyu was stunned. “You suspect something behind Cui Yi’s cause of death? But last night, no outsiders entered the ward…”
“It’s not a suspicion.”
Sang Qianqian said, “I just want to find out the real cause of his death.”
In order to verify whether he was poisoned or not, she took Cui Yi’s hair and skin on the night he was admitted to the hospital and brought it to the laboratory for toxicity testing.
The results showed that his body indeed had the poison she had speculated. In other words, his symptoms were completely in line with what Professor Fu’er had recorded.
However, when he was about to wake up, he died unexpectedly. It was just too strange.
Shen Hanyu nodded. “No problem. I’ll get someone to arrange it right away.”
After hanging up the phone, he pondered for a few seconds, turned on the computer, and retrieved the hospital surveillance records that Jian Zheng had sent him.
Although there were no surveillance cameras in the ward, from the entrance of the inpatient department to the entrance of the ward, multiple cameras showed the entry and exit of the people last night without any blind spots. There were indeed no suspicious individuals lurking around.
Moreover, Jian Zheng was guarding the ward’s door last night, and Xu Meixi and Yin Shuhui were in the room the whole time. From the beginning to the end, no one had entered or left…
Shen Hanyu scrolled through the screen. When his eyes fell on one of the frames, he froze.
At around 11 pm, Xu Meixi received a phone call and went out in a hurry. She only returned after about 20 minutes.
Jian Zheng had mentioned to Shen Hanyu that Xu Meixi was staying with her cousin in the capital. Apparently, her cousin had forgotten her keys and came to Xu Meixi for them.
In the surveillance footage, Xu Meixi went to the underground parking lot and got into her cousin’s car. It took her a long time to get out.
At two o’clock in the morning, Yin Shuhui went to the bathroom after doing a routine check on Cui Yi every three hours.
Not long after she returned, Xu Meixi walked out of the ward. This time, it was because Yin Shuhui asked her to go rest in the doctor’s office.
After that, she didn’t visit the ward again until Sang Qianqian appeared in the morning.
Xu Meixi and Sang Qianqian were colleagues, and Sang Qianqian trusted her deeply, so Jian Zheng and Shen Hanyu did not suspect anything.
However, he rewatched this part of the scene again. He noticed that Xu Meixi’s expression was very different before and after she gave her cousin the keys. Although she walked out in a hurry, she looked calm. When she came back, she seemed to be absent-minded. When she took the elevator, she even accidentally went to the wrong floor.
Shen Hanyu thought for a while, then called Jian Zheng and whispered some instructions.
The next evening, when Shen Hanyu came to pick Sang Qianqian up from work, the results of the forensic examination were delivered to her.
To Sang Qianqian’s surprise, Cui Yi had died from suffocation!
A person who had already recovered his heartbeat and breathing was safely staying in a hospital ward. It was unbelievable that he suddenly suffocated to death!
“How could this be the result?”
Yin Shuhui found it unbelievable. “There was only Meixi and me in the ward. We couldn’t possibly suffocate him, right?”
Xu Meixi was sitting in her seat and drinking a gla.s.s of water. “How is that possible? We only examined him.”
“It’s not impossible.”
“Cui Yi was unconscious,” Shen Hanyu said calmly. “If you wanted him to suffocate to death, a pillow is more than enough.”
Xu Meixi’s hands trembled, and some of the water in her cup spilled out. She forced a smile. “President Shen, you really know how to joke.”
Shen Hanyu’s face darkened. “1 don’t like joking.”
Yin Shuhui seemed to have been struck by lightning. “So, President Shen suspects that Xu Meixi and I… Killed Cui Yi?”
Even Sang Qianqian was stunned.. “Hanyu, what do you mean?”
