Chapter 1182

When Wang Dongxue heard that it was Bed 1, she immediately realized that he was talking about her father, so she hurriedly blurted out: "Hello, may I ask what the test results for the patient in Room 1 are?"

That person looked at Wang Dongxue and then at Director Chen hesitantly, not knowing whether to continue.

Director Chen hurriedly urged: "Xiao Liu, if you have any results, just say it directly, don't dawdle!"

That person then hurriedly said: "It's like this, the laboratory first detected excessive mercury in the patient's blood in Room 1, and then sent the blood sample to the judicial department's laboratory for further testing of toxic substances, and detected a large amount of 'mercuric chloride'!"

"What?!" Director Chen exclaimed: "Mercuric chloride?! Are you sure it's mercuric chloride?!"

"Sure!" That person hurriedly said: "The police suspect that someone poisoned him, so they are ready to file a case, and I estimate they will be here soon."

Wang Dongxue was shocked and blurted out: "Director Chen, what is mercuric chloride?!"

Director Chen explained: "Mercuric chloride is a highly toxic inorganic substance. This substance is extremely toxic. An average oral dose of one milligram per kilogram of body weight can reach a semi-lethal dose! An adult male weighing eighty kilograms only needs eighty milligrams!"

Wang Dongxue asked: "What is a semi-lethal dose?!"

Director Chen said: "A semi-lethal dose is the toxicity monitoring standard in medicine and chemistry. For example, using one hundred mice to do this mercuric chloride toxicity test, when the oral dose per kilogram exceeds one milligram and reaches the specified duration, fifty mice die. This amount is called a semi-lethal dose."

Wang Dongxue exclaimed: "This substance only needs tens of milligrams to take a person's life?!"

Director Chen nodded and sighed: "This substance is extremely toxic, especially for the kidneys. It is almost like paraquat is extremely harmful to the lungs. It is almost incurable..."

Wang Dongxue became nervous instantly and blurted out: "How could my father take this toxic substance? Our family has never been in contact with this highly toxic chemical..."

Director Chen said seriously: "Since the police are going to file a case, it is very likely that someone poisoned him!"

"Poisoned?!" Wang Dongxue said puzzledly: "My father has been teaching and educating people for most of his life, and he has received countless honors. Whether it is character or teacher morality, he is impeccable, so he has never had any enemies. Who would do such a poisonous hand to him?!"

Director Chen hurriedly said: "Director Wang, this kind of thing is useless to speculate. We must rely on the police to investigate thoroughly to find the murderer behind the scenes!"

Just talking, the office door was pushed open, and several police officers in police uniforms walked in with solemn expressions.

A middle-aged man with a square face walked in front, went straight to Director Chen, and said: "Hello, I am Sun Wenbin, the deputy captain of the Jin Ling Criminal Police Brigade. We received a report from your unit's laboratory, and now we suspect that a patient named Wang Chengyuan in your hospital has been poisoned. Is it convenient for us to see the family of Wang Chengyuan?"

Director Chen immediately pointed to Wang Dongxue and said: "Captain Sun, this is Wang Chengyuan's daughter, Ms. Wang Dongxue."

Wang Dongxue was slightly surprised, then immediately put away her surprised expression and said seriously: "Hello, Captain Sun, I am Sun Wenbin. May I ask how your father is doing now?"

Wang Dongxue hurriedly said: "Captain Sun, my father is in a very bad situation now. His kidneys have failed rapidly in a short period of time, and he is in danger of life at any time... Please be sure to find out the murderer who poisoned my father!"

Sun Wenbin nodded very seriously and said: "Ms. Wang, can you please help us recall if your father had any enemies? Or had any economic disputes with anyone?"

Wang Dongxue shook her head and said: "My father has been teaching and educating people diligently for so many years, and he has never fought for anything in his work, and he is very helpful, so he has never had any conflicts with anyone."

Sun Wenbin asked again: "Has your father eaten any strange food recently, or come into contact with anything strange?"

Wang Dongxue continued to shake her head: "It seems that there really isn't. Everything was quite normal before he got sick..."

Sun Wenbin continued to ask: "Do you and your father live together?"

Wang Dongxue nodded: "Living together."

Sun Wenbin continued to ask: "Then who else lives with you and your father?"

Wang Dongxue said: "And my mom, our family of three."

"Good." Sun Wenbin nodded, paused, and asked: "Then is there any nanny or hourly worker at home?"

"No." Wang Dongxue said: "I wanted to find a nanny for them, but my parents have been intellectuals all their lives and are not used to having people serve them. Plus, they are only in their 50s now, and their lives can be completely self-managed, so we have never found a nanny or an hourly worker."

Sun Wenbin asked: "Have you and your mom had any problems with your health?"

Wang Dongxue shook her head: "No."

Sun Wenbin nodded and said: "The three of you live together, and you and your mom have no problems, so this can basically be inferred that there is no situation with the food or water in your home."

As he spoke, he asked again: "Ms. Wang, I need you to recall carefully. In the period before your father's symptoms appeared, has he ever gone out to eat alone or with his friends?"

Wang Dongxue thought carefully and said seriously: "No, for a period of time before my father's physical problems appeared, because it was winter vacation, he had been reading at home and almost never went out, so he didn't go out to gather with others at all."

Sun Wenbin couldn't help frowning: "In this way, it is really a bit strange. According to the test data, your father has a large amount of mercuric chloride in his body. This highly toxic substance can enter the body through the mouth and nose, and it is also possible to enter the body through the skin."

"But our experts speculate that such a large dose of poisoning, if it relies on the skin, may take a long time, so the biggest possibility is entering through the mouth and nose, with oral administration being the most likely."

"However, according to the situation you described, it is unlikely that your father was poisoned through food and drinking water at home, but he did not go out to dine or gather..."

"Then, it might be a bit tricky to figure out where he was poisoned!"
