medical law

Excessive, or long-term use of cinnabar can lead to mercury poisoning.

But based on those talismans painted with cinnabar, Jin Zi didn't think it would be enough to cause Liu Shi to be deeply poisoned and his body not to rot.

Jin Zi leaned on the bed with his chin leaning on him, while carefully analyzing in his mind the way that Mrs. Liu might have taken too much cinnabar.

"Xiaoxiao, go to the room and ask the lady out for dinner..." Zhuang's mother's voice faintly floated into Jin Zi's eardrums.

Gold bounced off the ground reflexively, how could she forget one of the most important ways?

Medicine, decoction!

Mrs. Liu fell to the root of her illness during the confinement period, and since then she has lived a life in a medicine jar, and she almost never leaves her mouth for three meals.It would be too easy to tamper with her medicine cauldron.

Isn't Lin very good at buying people's hearts?

If she promises great profits, there is no guarantee that those women who cook medicine will not do things that betray the Lord...

Just as Xiaoxiao raised his hand to knock on the door, Jin Zi opened the door.

"Lady..." Seeing Jin Zi's eyes flickering slightly due to emotional agitation, Xiaoxiao couldn't help calling out worriedly.

"I'm fine, where is Zhuang's mother? Go and call her, I have something to ask her!" Jin Jin ordered.

Xiaoxiao knew that the lady was definitely going to ask about the madam, so she hurriedly answered yes, then turned and went to the small kitchen.

After a while, Zhuang's mother came over.

Jin Jin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then asked: "Mom, you said earlier that it was father who asked for the talisman at the Taoist temple. Later, father had a lot of work in the yamen, so he asked the mother-in-law next to mother to do it for him. Who is the mother-in-law who went to the Taoist temple to ask for a talisman for her mother, and what is her name?"

Mother Zhuang just came from the small kitchen, and her hands were still stained with water. She sat down across from Jin Jin, concentrating on searching for the memories of the year in her mind, and at the same time lifted the apron around her waist, and wiped the dirt on her hands. water stains.

"Miss. I remember, that woman was named Ren back then, and she was younger than this old slave. All the maids in the mansion called her Ren's mother. Her husband and daughter were also servants in the mansion. Later, after the madam left , the family of three was sent away by the Lin family." Zhuang's mother withdrew her distant gaze and said in a low voice.

"When Mama Ren was working in the mansion, were you familiar with her, Mama? Have you heard where she is from?" Jin Zi asked.

Zhuang's mother shook her head and replied: "My lady, you are also weak after birth, and all the old slave's thoughts are on the lady. Mother Ren has also met a few times at the lady's place. And she is mainly in charge of the lady's meals. Together, there is no intersection with the old slave!"

Jin Jin remembered yesterday afternoon.What Jin Haoqin said when he came to Baicao Village, he said that Father Jin Yuan accepted Chen Yixue's suggestion, posted notices on various bulletin boards in Dongshi City, and selected the top three and bottom three servants on the mother's list, take a look Can it be effective in these two days.

That mother Ren seems to be on the list.

Perhaps because of intuition, Jin Jin has some expectations for a character like Mama Ren.

If the gold speculation is true.Mother Ren was bribed by Lin, and Liu took the decoction containing cinnabar for a long time without warning.Then her body will accumulate enough heavy metals: mercury!

One of the symptoms of mercury poisoning is a large amount of vomiting and diarrhea, which explains why Liu's vomiting and diarrhea occurred during the later period of taking the medicine.

The yamen's announcement can continue, but the investigation of the whereabouts of Ren's mother is even more urgent.

After all, analyzing it from the perspective of the bad guys, there shouldn't be many people who, after doing bad things, would be able to hear that the original owner who was harmed by her had something left for them and still have the guts to move forward...

Jin Zi pondered for a while, and felt that it was necessary to talk to Chen Yixue, so that Jin Shu and Ying Wu could take the time to investigate the whereabouts of Mama Ren's family.

After lunch, Kaneko called Xiaoxiao to come in to serve and change clothes, and after packing up, he set off for the detective hall in Dongshi.

... ...

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Long Street in Dongshi.

The hustle and bustle was like a tide, with waves rising again and again.

Xiaoxiao got out of the car first with the toolbox in hand, and Jin Zi bowed and jumped off the shaft.At the entrance of the long street, as expected by Jin Zi, the people gathered around the crowd who read the notice and whispered something.Jin Jin found that some people seemed to be very emotional because of the contents of the notice, and they spit flying all over the place while speaking.

Jin Jin poked his head a little curiously, was Father Jin Yuan's notice very provocative?

She concealed the urge to squeeze into the crowd to spy on the notice, led Xiaoxiao into the long street, and walked in the direction of the detective building.

Because of Zheng Yu's case, and because Long Tingxuan was in Taoyuan County, Jin Zi hadn't come to the detective office for several days.But Jin Zi doesn't have so many worries now, anyway, whether he will come or not, Long Tingxuan already knows the existence of the Detective House and the relationship he has established with the Detective House, so he simply does what he wants to do openly and squarely.

There were still two guards guarding the door. After Jin Jin showed the employee card he was carrying, he went straight around the fan screen, took off his silk shoes at the entrance of the corridor, and stepped on the wooden steps to the second floor.

There were voices in Chen Yixue's room, Jin Zi strode over and stopped at the door of the room.

The voice of speaking suddenly stopped, Chen Yixue looked up at Jin Zi standing at the door of the room, without any surprise, she smiled softly, and asked: "San Niang, you are here..."

In the presence of outsiders, Chen Yixue still called Jin Zi 'San Niang' as usual.

Jin Zi pursed his lips and smiled, walked into the room, and said with a smile: "Captor Zhao is also there, but what did you find?"

Zhao Hu cupped his hands towards Jin Zi, called Mrs. Jin, and then replied: "Yes, two servants went to the Yamen to find the Lord after seeing the notice in the morning. I have verified the identities of the two of them, and they both served Mrs. Xian .Although it has been such a long time, adults still have some impressions of them."

"Oh, what general affairs were the two of them responsible for before?" Jin Zi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"One of the two women was in charge of sweeping the lady's yard, and the other was washing the starch. They cried sincerely in the back yard, and talked a lot about the lady's grace and care for them in the past, and learned that the lady had a relic. Leaving it to them, they are more grateful than surprised. The adults asked them some questions, but they didn't find any flaws, and they felt a little depressed for a while." Zhao Hu replied.

Jin Zi didn't feel that much of a surprise. In such a short period of time, there were two places, which was considered pretty good.

"Did father give them the 'relic'?" Jin Zi asked.

Zhao Hu nodded with a smile, and replied: "According to Mr. Chenlang's suggestion, each person was rewarded with 20 taels of silver and a string of cinnabar bracelets!"

Jin Zi looked at Chen Yixue in surprise, but met his breezy smile.

I am not surprised to give silver and gold, but why is Liu's 'relic' a cinnabar bracelet?

Did he think of something with himself?

But in the past two days, she didn't tell him about the discovery that Liu's mercury poisoning might be caused by cinnabar. How did God Chen know?

Did he check that his mother had eaten talismans, so he thought of it?

Jin Zi smiled and asked him with expectant eyes.

Chen Yixue took a small sip of the tea soup, put it down, and then slowly said: "In "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", cinnabar is listed as the top grade, and medicinal processing can calm convulsions, detoxify, cure epilepsy, convulsions, palpitations, and insomnia , dreaminess, dizziness, etc. However, if cinnabar is taken for a long time, it will cause mercury poisoning, and if this substance is stored in the body for a long time, it is estimated that the effect is similar to that of mercury injection. Moreover, poisoning with cinnabar can be more effective if poisoning with mercury It is easy to operate, and it is not easy to be discovered. I proposed to use the cinnabar bracelet as a relic, and there is another purpose in it. There is no need to explain this, and Sanniang should know it too."

Jin Zi's heart was full of emotions, but he just smiled faintly on his face, looked at Chen Yixue and praised: "It's great, you are very foresight!"

Chen Yixue just smiled but said nothing, his bright smile showed his mood at the moment ----- very happy!

I have to admit that Chen Yixue is indeed a person with meticulous and clear thinking, judgment and reasoning logic.

Jin Zi proposed that Liu's body was not decomposed, and it was very likely that it was poisoned by mercury, because the folks have a preservation measure for some ancient corpses, which is to pour mercury.The reason why mercury can make a corpse insensitive is because it contains a substance called mercury.Because mercury is highly toxic, it can kill bacteria in the corpse and keep the corpse intact.

Relatively speaking, mercury is not a substance that can be easily obtained by women like Lin, and Lin does not necessarily have this kind of understanding of mercury, and mercury is poisoned, so it is not easy to control Too much may cause Liu's immediate death, which is contrary to killing a person without anyone noticing.

Cinnabar and mercury have one similarity, that is, cinnabar also contains mercury sulfide.

But Chen Yixue was thinking, Lin Shi used cinnabar to poison Liu Shi, and she probably didn't know that the mercury sulfide in the cinnabar would cause Liu Shi's body to be infested after death. She must have learned that cinnabar was taken for a long time by accident It will lead to poisoning and death, and cinnabar itself is said to have medicinal value, even if it is known that she has such a thing as cinnabar, it cannot prove that she has used cinnabar to harm others.

If this accident had not occurred because of the excavation of Liu's stele this time, perhaps the real cause of Liu's death would have been buried under the loess and never see the light of day.

Does this indirectly verify an old saying?

The sky is clear, the law of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good?

It's not that I didn't report, the time has not come...

Chen Yixue suggested that Jin Yuan use a cinnabar bracelet as Liu's relic, because he wanted to see the attitude of the murderer and the messengers behind him after they knew about this matter. Jin Zi already understood after he said the word "intention".

"My son came here today because I want Mr. Chen to focus on investigating the whereabouts of Mama Ren's family of three. Mama Zhuang remembered that she was the woman who went to the Taoist temple to ask for talismans instead of father," Jin Zi said. (To be continued.
