Feathering the Heart
Chapter 4
"The deceased was Yoo Seon-hee, female, 26 years old.
She was a female worker in an electronic equipment assembly factory. "
In the small conference room, Officer Hwang Sun-beom was sharing the results of the investigation with the team members.
"I have a question!"
Choi Dong-man raised his hand and requested to speak. Regardless of whether the others agreed or not, he continued, "Why would a good girl do this?"
"Because she was uneducated," Officer Huang explained in a surprisingly good-natured manner.
"Ah?" In the end, Dong Wan was still confused.
"Her education level was low … I say, Dong-man, did you also graduate from primary school?" Yu Jingren really couldn't stand Dong-man's reflexes.
"Oh, oh, you guys continue, continue …" Dong-man began to act like an ostrich at the table again.
"Have you contacted her parents?" Min Tae-yeon suddenly asked.
"No, she's an orphan."
"An orphan …" Tang Yuxin's eyes dimmed slightly after hearing this. In fact, she was thinking about the tragic experience of Prosecutor Min and Xiao Yunji. However, from Min Tae-yeon's perspective, Tang Yuxin's expression seemed to have been poked at a sore spot. After all, Tang Yuxin was also an orphan, so our Prosecutor Min felt a little distressed.
Tang Yuxin, who was recalling the plot of the first movie, felt her hand being touched. Then, that hand gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Tang Yuxin, who was a little absent-minded, raised her head and saw that it was Min Tae-yeon. Immediately, her sympathy overflowed, and the sadness of the first movie flooded her heart. Thus, she grabbed Prosecutor Min's hand and said sincerely, "It's really been hard on you …"
"…"
Tang Yuxin, who had completely forgotten where she was, spoke at a normal volume. As a result, the entire small conference room fell silent...
"Ahem, Prosecutor Tang, I think I'm the one doing the report. Have you forgotten …?" Hwang Sun-beom looked at the woman named Tang Yuxin in disbelief. He should be the one doing the hard work!
Incredible, incredible. He hadn't realized it before, but now he knew that people in love could be so bold.
Alright, this was actually a mistake. Since he had already made a fool of himself, then …
"What I mean is, thank you for your hard work …" Tang Yuxin said calmly with a smile on her face.
You really can't be so shameless …
This was what everyone thought after hearing Tang Yuxin's answer.
Weng!
The sound of the mobile phone was particularly clear in the silent conference room. Min Tae-yeon picked it up and saw that it was a call from the forensic doctor, Dr. Xu. Presumably, there was a new development in the autopsy, so he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Hello, um, okay, I got it." He ended the call with just a few words.
Tang Yuxin didn't even need to look to know who was calling. The only person who would call at this time was the beautiful forensic doctor who dealt with corpses all day long … Then, Prosecutor Min would definitely say, "Go to the forensic doctor's office" next …
"There's a new result, let's go to the forensic doctor's office." Thus, Prosecutor Min was the first to stand up and walk in the direction of the forensic doctor's office.
"As expected …" Tang Yuxin, who was following behind Prosecutor Min, muttered softly.
The ones who were the most enthusiastic about going to the forensic doctor's office were Officer Huang and Choi Dong-man. The two of them followed behind the crowd and talked about something. From time to time, there would be some weird laughter.
When they arrived at the entrance of the forensic doctor's office, the two of them rushed in ahead of everyone else.
However, the beautiful doctor was dressed very formally today, so formally that even Tang Yuxin was surprised.
Dr. Xu's hair was tied up with a black hair band, and his face was matched with a pair of dark red framed glasses. He wore a white shirt with a forensic doctor's ID card hanging around his neck. His lower body was dressed in a woman's suit and pants, and he wore black leather shoes with a slight heel …
The sun had really risen from the west …
Tang Yuxin's eyes widened in surprise.
Not only Tang Yuxin, but even Yu Jingren also exclaimed softly when she came in. Obviously, she was also shocked by Dr. Xu's formal attire. She and Tang Yuxin looked at each other, and they could see the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Oh, it's quite proper to dress like this!"
Unexpectedly, Dong-man's annoying voice came from behind them. However, under the threat of Tang Yuxin and Yu Jingren's double glares, Choi Dong-man choked back his words in the cradle.
"Any new discoveries?"
Min Tae-yeon was naturally not interested in the beautiful doctor. He did not care about what she wore at all. So what if she did not wear it?
Well, if she did not wear it, she would be arrested in the name of disturbing public order …
"The blood test report is out. A large amount of arsenic was found in the deceased's blood." After that, Dr. Xu handed the test report to Min Tae-yeon.
Tang Yuxin walked a few steps to Min Tae-yeon's side and craned her neck to look at it with Prosecutor Min. They saw that the report was filled with various English letters and chemical formulas of various sizes …
"I think we should take this report back and carefully study it."
Yu Jingren, who was standing behind them and craned her neck to look at the contents of the report, weighed her brain and then the report, and said so.
"Arsenic?"
Tang Yuxin lowered her head and continued to study the report. As she looked at it, Tang Yuxin suddenly said, "Wait, AS2O 3?
Arsenic?
How can there be such a thing? "
"Yes, the deceased died of arsenic poisoning.
According to Prosecutor Tang's suggestion, we did a detailed death examination and found that the deceased's respiratory central nervous system was paralyzed. In addition, the deceased's internal poison caused toxic myocarditis. The blood clot in the pulmonary circulation caused the deceased to be unable to breathe properly, which ultimately led to death. "
"What is arsenic?" Yu Jingren could not keep up with the train of thought. There were so many chemical terms, Prosecutor Tang, could you understand?
Prosecutor Min, could you understand?
"Arsenic is a chemical name. We usually call it arsenic by its common name."
Tang Yuxin turned her head and explained to Yu Jingren. Then she looked at Dr. Xu, "Dr. Xu, arsenic, you mean someone poisoned her?"
"The rest is what you need to investigate, isn't it?
Oh, I also need to remind you that the deceased's condition before death was very bad. She was malnourished, accompanied by slight gums bleeding, which was a precursor to scurvy.
After all, she was just a female worker. How good could life be for such a person? "The beautiful doctor shrugged her shoulders to express helplessness.
"So, Yoo Seon-hee died of arsenic poisoning. Then, did someone poison her?
Or did she accidentally eat food that contained arsenic?
You know, a lot of agricultural pesticides also contain arsenic. "
In the small conference room, everyone was sitting around the table, and Tang Yuxin was analyzing the test report.
"Dong-man, do you have the results of the things I gave you?"
However, Min Tae-yeon didn't answer Tang Yuxin's question. Instead, he turned his head and asked Dong-man who was still intoxicated by the beautiful doctor's outfit.
"Ah?
Oh!
The results of one of the bottles are already out. It's vitamin C. "Dong-man said as he took out a white medicine bottle and a paper report.
Min Tae-yeon took the report and looked at it, while Tang Yuxin took the white medicine bottle.
"Vitamin C?
Where did it come from? "Tang Yuxin took the medicine bottle and looked left and right. She even unscrewed the cap and smelled it.
"Prosecutor Min brought it."
"Is it really vitamin C?" Tang Yuxin raised her eyebrows, then poured a pill from the bottle and threw it into her mouth.
"Hey hey hey!
Spit it out! "Hwang Sun-beom saw this and immediately ran over to pat Tang Yuxin's back.
Tang Yuxin was patted by Hwang Sun-beom's bear paws. She coughed a few times, but the pill didn't come out of her mouth.
"Where's the pill?!" Hwang Sun-beom was a little anxious.
"What … happened …?"
Min Tae-yeon heard the sound and put down the medicine report that was blocking his view. What he saw was Tang Yuxin and Hwang Sun-beom. Both of them were looking down at him, and Tang Yuxin was coughing.
"Prosecutor Min … Prosecutor Tang just ate the vitamin C that Dong-man tested …" Hwang Sun-beom said weakly.
"…" Hearing this, Min Tae-yeon's face suddenly darkened.
"I just wanted to know if it was vitamin C," Tang Yuxin said, panting. "Officer Huang, it's okay if you didn't take the pill, but I swallowed it …"
"… Then do you want to vomit?" Hwang Sun-beom's face changed slightly.
Mimo Real Feed
"Not at all …"
"That's weird …" Hwang Sun-beom rubbed his chin.
Min Tae-yeon also rubbed his chin after hearing this.
Prosecutor Yu and Choi Dong-man, who were sitting next to them, were confused. She didn't want to eat it because she was afraid it would be poisonous, so why didn't she want to vomit?
What's wrong with her?
"Please don't make any more mistakes …" Min Tae-yeon begged sincerely. God knows, Tang Yuxin had already made him break out in cold sweat since this morning …
"Oh, I accidentally forgot …" Tang Yuxin sighed helplessly. In fact, she really wanted to taste if that thing was vitamin C, but she didn't remember that she had become a vampire. A creature without a sense of taste, what vitamin C? Even if she was given a piece of raw salt, she wouldn't be able to taste it …
However, this sigh was like a heavy hammer that hit Min Tae-yeon's heart. His heart suddenly shook, and then a strong heartache spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Ah … I'm sorry, don't mind it.
I'm fine, really. "
Tang Yuxin held Min Tae-yeon's fist, but in her heart, she was scolding herself for saying the wrong thing. This topic was obviously sensitive to Min Tae-yeon, but she kept forgetting it. This just proved that she really didn't care about her identity, didn't it?
"Hey, can you guys be any more aboveboard?!"
Hwang Sun-beom was jealous of the two's pink bubbles again, and quickly reminded them of the main idea of prioritizing business in public.
"Yu Jingren, tell us about the investigation on your side."
Min Tae-yeon, who had calmed down a little, pulled his hand out of Tang Yuxin's and patted the back of her hand gently, reminding her to pay attention to the report.
In short, after experiencing some inexplicable situations, the case was finally back on track again. Everyone suddenly felt that this was the most difficult case they had ever worked on, because no one's nerves were focused on this case …
"Okay."
Yu Jingren picked up the binder-like thing that was placed in front of her from the beginning, opened it, and said, "Oh Young-ran, female, fifty years old.
Widowed at the age of thirty-five, unemployed, but addicted to gambling. The only source of income is the rent of that house. "
"Why don't you go out and find a job?"
Hwang Sun-beom was puzzled. A woman of this age, although she couldn't find a good job, doing housework could still supplement her family's income.
"Probably because she's lazy, or else she wouldn't have been able to survive by renting a house for fifteen years." Tang Yuxin looked at the table in front of her, and nodded as she analyzed.
"It's not just because she's lazy, there's a reason why she couldn't find a job when she was young." Yu Jingren said, pushing a piece of paper in front of everyone.
Choi Dong-man looked at it and covered his face, "Oh, My God.
So uncultured … "
On the paper was written: Oh Young-ran, dropped out of primary school, and has been studying with her parents at home.
She didn't have a father since she was young, and only relied on her mother, who was at the level of a middle school, to teach her at home. Her mother relied on temporary jobs to survive.
After her mother died, Oh Young-ran began to live by renting out the house left by her father, while she lived in the countryside and made a living by renting the house.
"It's scary to be uncultured …" Tang Yuxin suddenly shuddered, thinking of the woman who stabbed her to death with a knife before she transmigrated.
"I feel the same." Officer Huang nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, Wu Yinglan can't be the murderer. Who would kill a tenant who is their only source of income?" Cui Dongwan pointed at the photo and said.
"Yes, could it be that she really ate something by mistake?" Yu Jingren frowned.
"Brother, what about you? Where did Yoo Seon-hee go before she died?"
"Ah, actually this girl is quite well-behaved. I saw the surveillance video, she should have gone straight home after work.
Oh right, not long after Yoo Seon-hee came home, Oh Young-ran went to find Yoo Seon-hee with a big bag of things. Then she came out of her house around 9 pm. At that time, Yoo Seon-hee sent her to the stairs. At that time, Yoo Seon-hee still looked fine. "
"What was in the bag?" Tang Yuxin asked sensitively.
"I heard Oh Young-ran said that it was some seafood, such as shrimp, crabs, oysters, and some shellfish. She said that people in her hometown caught them from the seaside and gave them to Seon-hee to try. She also wanted to rope her in, and hoped that she could rent it for a few more days.
After all, her house is not in the bustling area of Seoul, and the transportation is not convenient. Very few people rent here.
If Seon-hee didn't have a bus to work, I think she would have stayed with her friend. "Hwang Sun-beom shared the second piece of information he found.
"It's actually seafood. No wonder Dr. Xu found so many seafood remains in her stomach.
Ah, it's so good to have relatives by the seaside … "Tang Yuxin said enviously. Then she suddenly stopped talking, as if she thought of something, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"What's wrong?"
Min Tae-yeon was very familiar with this kind of look. When Tang Yuxin showed this kind of look, it meant that she had found a new clue.
