Chapter 246 Poisoning and Death
Hearing Zhuang Yanzheng say this, Su Miaoyi vaguely remembered some things.

In the case back then, it seemed that every time some key clues were found, the trail would go cold.

This happened several times.

If you go to arrest someone, they'll either be silenced or they'll have already left.

This might happen once or twice, but if it happens several times, you can't help but become suspicious.

"Is something wrong?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her silently without saying anything, seemingly unsure of what to say or whether he should speak to her.

Su Miaoyi stared at him, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and a sense of panic for no apparent reason.

Shock, anger, disbelief, and a desire not to believe suddenly welled up in my heart.

She felt a stinging pain in her throat, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears: "Is it Lu Xian?"

She uttered the name in a hoarse voice.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the tears welling up in her red eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Silence speaks for itself.

Su Miaoyi stood there, suddenly speechless.

She couldn't even remember what Lu Xian looked like, nor could she remember anything from the past.

But when she saw Zhuang Yanzheng's silence, she immediately thought of him, and then her emotions surged up, and she couldn't control them.

It's very uncomfortable.

My heart felt like it was being torn apart and gnawed at by something.

Su Miaoyi looked up, suppressing her emotions and tears.

Zhuang Yanzheng handed her a tissue, which she held tightly in her hand for a long time before asking, "Where is he?"

She has calmed down.

“They ran away,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"I'm not here?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Hmm," Zhuang Yanzheng said, "What happened after you went to carry out the mission."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

It started raining outside sometime earlier, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

"Did you remember something?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi shook her head and glanced at the lightning outside the window: "I just suddenly feel very uncomfortable, an uncontrollable discomfort."

"Of course," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked up at him: "?"

“Now, in this municipal bureau, we're the two who get scolded by him the most and have spent the most time with him. Everyone else has been transferred to different places. Especially you, you've been working under him since you started working,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “You get scolded a lot, but you also go through a lot together.”

"Where's Brother Zheng?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Although Brother Zheng is older, he gets scolded less often than the two of us. Also, Brother Zheng came a few months later than me, so he hasn't been here as long as I have."

Su Miaoyi looked at him again.

Suddenly I sensed his complex emotions.

She wasn't there at the time, and Zhuang Yanzheng must have been devastated and heartbroken when he found out about it.

Maybe she's secretly wiping away tears when no one's around.

"What are you imagining?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked, looking at her.

Su Miaoyi blinked: "Ah? No, nothing. Um... I was just thinking, although I can't remember, but I heard you say that he's a very upright person, how could he...?"

"In my memory, he was indeed very upright, serious and hardworking when handling cases, and always the first to rush to the front when arresting fugitives," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“He’s very formidable,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “He scolded us like that, and although we made some small moves on the surface, I’m referring to you, of course.”

Su Miaoyi: "." Everyone else does it behind people's backs, but she does it on the surface.
Zhuang Yanzheng continued, "But we have always admired him from the bottom of our hearts."

He paused for a moment after saying this: "Life is unpredictable, and people's hearts are hard to fathom. The better something seems, the harder it is to accept the truth once you learn it."

Su Miaoyi remained silent. The person Zhuang Yanzheng held in his heart and in his memory was Team Leader Lu, not the current Lu Xian.

After a while, she asked, "Do you think this case is related to previous cases?"

"I don't know," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Today's case, the sins, the atonement, reminds me of that case from back then. Anyway, I often look at that case."

“There will always be traces left behind in this society. Even if they took the deceased’s phone, some traces can’t be completely erased,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Go get some sleep, we still have to work tomorrow."

“Okay.” Su Miaoyi turned and walked out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Zhishen walking over with a piece of drawing paper.

"Is it finished?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Ah."

Zhuang Yanzheng came out when he heard the noise.

The three of them looked at the portrait together.

“It really is the same person,” Su Miaoyi said.

"What did you say?" Lu Zhishen asked.

Su Miaoyi coughed lightly: "What I mean is, you actually drew a human figure with no facial features, that's amazing."

“Some of it is still visible,” Lu Zhishen said.

“Okay, your eyes and mine seem different.” Su Miaoyi looked at the portrait. “This woman has such defined features, she looks like a foreigner.”

"Let's check the information first."

The three of them worked together to match the portraits.

I started with Jinghai City, and after matching around, I still couldn't find this person.

There is no information about this person.

“If it’s a foreigner, there should be entry information as well,” Lu Zhishen said.

"It's unclear how they got in," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"That's true."

"Make more copies of the portrait and issue an arrest warrant for her," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Row."

The next day.

Everyone was busy with their own things, hoping to find some clues.

The morning passed quickly.

Around 4 PM, all of Yan Cheng's test reports came out.

"A poison that kills instantly?" Qi Feng looked at the name on the test report and said in surprise, "There really is such a thing?"

"It's a plant, also called the arrow poison tree," Yan Cheng said. "It's a highly poisonous plant. The milky white sap from its bark and leaves is extremely toxic. The toxic components are α-antiseptic glycoside and β-antiseptic glycoside."

Su Miaoyi suddenly clenched her teeth, feeling as if knowledge was drilling into her head.

"So the two people died of poisoning?" Since the reports were all in other people's hands and Su Miaoyi didn't have them, she asked directly.

"Yes. The cause of death was poisoning," Yan Cheng said. "The plant Antiaris toxicaria grows in tropical rainforests below 1,500 meters above sea level. If there are no wounds on the skin, even if you come into contact with its sap, it won't cause any problems. However, if a wound comes into contact with the sap, the toxin will enter the body, causing the poisoned person's heart to stop, blood vessels to close, blood to clot, and suffocation to death within 20 to 30 minutes."

So when the person in the nurse's uniform entered the ward at 2:17, she said she wanted to check the wounds of the two deceased.

The poisoning actually occurred at that time.

The timing of Xing Chang and Chang Yong's onset of the poison also matches.

“Tropical rainforests below 1,500 meters,” Su Miaoyi said. “Could we obtain some information through this condition?”

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "It's also a direction."

 Goodnight everybody.
