Zhao Jinxiu nodded. “That’s the preliminary judgment. We need to do a detailed autopsy to confirm the exact situation.”

The Meng couple’s eyes flickered, but they quickly lowered their heads.

Anna frowned slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. However, her hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly. She wanted to stop them, but she was worried that she would attract more attention. In the end, she could only keep her mouth shut.

“Everyone, since it already involves murder, this case can’t be closed casually. The corpse can’t be taken away. I’ll report it and apply for an autopsy…” Lu Minan put away the collection forms both sides had just claimed. “Everyone, I hope that before the case is closed, you can guarantee that you’ll be on call. We’ll interrogate you at any time…”

Next, Zhao Jinxiu performed an autopsy on the two corpses. The results were that Meng Qiu?s body indeed contained a large amount of contraband, but Niu Juan’s body did not.

“The poison that Meng Qiu and Niu Juan took was arsenic trioxide, which is commonly known as arsenic. If it is swallowed, the poison would be in the stomach. However, a white powder was found in

Meng Qiu’s throat…” Zhao Jinxiu showed the substance to Lu Minan. “A high concentration of arsenic is in the shape of white powder.”

“Does this mean that she hasn’t digested it?”

‘Yes.” Zhao Jinxiu nodded. “Or rather , it’s partially undigested. Meng Qiu was injected with arsenic after losing consciousness… And I also found white powder under Niu Juan’s nails…”

Lu Minan’s eyes lit up. “This means.

“I’ll give you the report as soon as possible. The report from the drug test will probably be out soon. As for what it means, that’s up to you to decide.” Zhao Jinxiu glanced at Lu Minan and turned to write the report.

Lu Minan touched his nose and realized that he had once rejected this girl’s feelings. Then, after his work was over, he indeed had to keep a distance. He immediately said, “Thank you for your hard work,” and left the autopsy room.

The moment Zhao Jinxiu heard the door close, she heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little defeated.

Perhaps it was time for her to change places. If this continued, she would only be torturing herself.

Actually, she wanted to be able to let go and pretend that nothing had happened, but it seemed very difficult.

Since it was difficult, there was no need to continue being partners. If this continued, she was really afraid that one day she would be changed beyond recognition by jealousy. That was not what she wanted.

Hence, after the autopsy report, she wrote another job transfer application, hoping to work in places with more difficult conditions. After she finished, she got up and left the autopsy room. The autopsy report was handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department, and the interrogation report was sent to the chief’s office.

With the autopsy report as evidence, Lu Minan asked Father and Mother Meng again. This time, the two elders couldn’t withstand it and told them that someone had bribed them. Their thoughts were very simple. Their daughter was already dead. There was no point in pursuing the matter. They might as well take the money and live a good life. After all, they still had a son.

As for who gave them the money, they said they didn’t know because the person was wearing a mask and hat, but they were sure that it was a man.

The police found traces of chemical experiments in the place where Niu Juan lived and discovered arsenic. This substance was not very poisonous in its natural state, but the synthesized compound was lethal..
