Chapter 17 The Murderer Who Turned Himself In (1)
The next day, Fang Rui decided to sort out Ma Po's case first, because the case of Ma Po was already in the making. After all, the media was still discussing this matter.

After Ma Po's autopsy report came out, Fang Rui immediately called a meeting.The well-informed Su Ye had the cheek to snatch a seat in the conference room.

She wants to be the first to know the truth.

"The cause of Ma Po's death was poisoning," Cheng Jin said, pointing to the photo on the screen, "The poison is this plant, digitalis."

The photo shows a cluster of pinkish-purple flowers shaped like bells, with black spots on the petals. It is a beautiful plant, but it is poisonous.

"Digitalis? What is this?" A policeman asked in confusion.

"This is a poisonous plant, but it can also be used as medicine to treat chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation and heart flutter caused by various causes. But because its medicinal dose is similar to that of poisoning, it is easy to It caused poisoning. It was because Ma Po took an overdose of digitalis that she suffered from cardiac arrhythmia and died suddenly." Cheng Jin patiently explained.

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, a terrible conjecture formed in her heart, but she kept denying it.

"But the book says that digitalis poisoning will first cause intestinal reactions, such as vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, etc. But Ma Po should not have these symptoms before she died, otherwise she would have been sent to the hospital." Wen Zixian pushed the bridge of her nose She remembers that it was described in the book she read.

"Ma Po is an old man in her 60s, her body functions have degenerated, and her internal reactions are slow, so it is likely that the first thing that happened was not a gastrointestinal reaction." Cheng Jin continued to explain.

Regarding Cheng Jin's report, Fang Rui only grasped one important point, Ma Po was poisoned to death.He asked: "Did Ma Po be poisoned to death, or did she accidentally use the medicine?"

Cheng Jin looked at Su Ye and replied, "You have to ask Miss Su."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, her face was a little pale, and she said slowly: "My master is taking traditional Chinese medicine recently, and my senior sister said that it is for eye diseases. However, there seems to be a plant called digitalis in my yard." Su Ye's voice became smaller and smaller, and she knew that she and her senior sister were probably the ones who could poison the master.

"So, it was Su Hua who poisoned Ma Po?" a policeman concluded.

Su Ye rolled his eyes at the policeman, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense, how could my senior sister kill my master?"

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, call someone back and ask." Fang Rui didn't want to preconceive without evidence.

"By the way, what happened to Ma Po's hallucinations before she died?" Shen Qi interrupted suddenly, and he couldn't figure it out, "Can blind people also have hallucinations? Or is Ma Po's mental problem caused by delusional?"

It is easy for most people to confuse hallucinations with delusions, but in fact they are fundamentally different.Hallucinations are serious perceptual disturbances that can sometimes occur in ordinary people, while delusions are irrational, unrealistic, impossible but firmly held false beliefs.

Cheng Jin looked at Wen Zixian and said lazily, "Xiaoxian, this is your chance to show yourself."

Wen Zixian curled her lips, she knew Cheng Jin wanted to be lazy again.Cheng Jin is that kind of person, when she can not speak, she will resolutely not speak, even more reticent than her.And every time I find such a high-sounding reason.She doesn't want to show off at all!

But she explained patiently: "Blind people can have hallucinations. There is a disease called Bonner syndrome, which means that those whose visual system is damaged can see things. But this seeing is not with the eyes. It's a compensatory effect in the brain. This phenomenon is still very common, and most of the patients are elderly."
