Tokyo: A leisurely life starting from the countryside

"When Qingshui Minglang came today, he said something. He found his grandmother lying on the bed, with little strength, so he gave her a banana to eat. When he saw her again, she was already dead."

"What does this matter?" Tomoda Masashi asked curiously.

He also knew in his heart that the old lady could die at any time.

It just happened that he died yesterday, and then the people of the Shimizu family, for some reason, thought of blaming it on Yuki Osamu.

Yukishi hummed and said seriously:

"Uncle Tomoda, you are not a doctor, so you don't know. The old lady of the Shimizu family came to see me a month ago. I know her condition. The old lady has a serious kidney disease. When she came to see me, it was because of obvious edema all over her body. She wanted to prescribe a diuretic called spironolactone."

"Spironolactone is a very powerful endogenous mineralocorticoid aldosterone. Although it is a diuretic, it can also be combined with other drugs to treat hypertension. However, its mechanism has a clear effect of conserving potassium and excreting sodium."

"The old lady had a history of high blood pressure and heart failure, so she had been taking diuretics for a long time. But I judged at the time that the old lady had kidney problems, and her edema might be more related to her kidneys.

People with renal insufficiency are more cautious when using this drug, and generally do not use it alone, because it can easily cause hyperkalemia and lead to cardiac arrest, so I also gave her hydrochlorothiazide and suggested that the old lady go to a large hospital to improve her kidney function. "

Tomoda Masashi took a puff of cigarette and frowned deeply:

"What does this have to do with eating bananas?"

Chapter 158 My Door!

Tomoda Masashi looked at Yuki Shi strangely.

He understood everything Yuki Tsukasa said.

But can eating a banana cause hyperkalemia?

There is no such thing as a coincidence.

Yuki looked at him and said word by word:

"Hyperkalemia can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden death, and bananas are a food that is high in potassium."

"You mean, Qingshui Minglang gave the old lady a banana, and then she developed hyperkalemia and died?"

Tomoda Masashi didn't expect that the reason given by Yuki Tsukasa was actually this.

It's simply... too unbelievable.

Yukishi shook his head, "It's not that easy."

“The old lady had long-term kidney problems, but her family didn’t know about it. They just guessed that the edema was caused by the heart, and continued to take spironolactone.

It is even possible that he did not follow my doctor's advice and took hydrochlorothiazide at the same time, which led to a gradual increase in the blood potassium concentration in his body.

But it's not at a completely lethal level, so is it possible that the potassium content of a banana is just enough to be lethal?"

This reasoning is indeed outrageous, especially since Yuuki Tsukasa looks so serious.

It must be that Masashi Tomoda has received professional training, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

Yukishi continued, "Bananas have a certain laxative effect. If the old lady gets out of bed to go to the toilet and then falls down, it is very likely to cause a large number of fractures and bleeding, and a large amount of potassium ions will flow out of the cells, leading to hyperkalemia..."

"And Qingshui Minglang said that the old lady did not die in bed, but on the ground, which means that the old lady got out of bed before she died."

"In this case, it can be completely understood that the old lady died because of this banana?"

It's absurd, but it seems to make sense.

According to Yuki Shigeki, the old lady of the Shimizu family really died from this banana.

But there are not so many coincidences in this world!

Yuuki Momo could see that Tomoda Masashi didn't believe it.

In fact, he himself felt that it was a bit too much. The old lady was very likely to have died of hyperkalemia.

Because at that time, Yuki Tsukasa used his ultrasound abilities to examine the old lady's kidneys.

Both kidneys are severely atrophied.

Without dialysis, the toxins accumulated in her body would leave her sooner or later.

But there is nothing Yuki Shi can do now.

The Qingshui family's arrival was so strange.

If I let him go so easily, I would never be able to survive on the island.

So he had to be ruthless and bite Qingshui Minglang to death to kill someone.

Even if you don't get caught in this clear water, you will still lose some skin.

Tomoda Masashi was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"I know why you did this, but I can honestly tell you that it's useless and it won't have any effect on them."

Yuuki Shiya fell silent, "What if a forensic examination is possible?"

Tomoda Masashi looked at Yuki Nozomi in some confusion.

"It's impossible. The medical examiner will not waste time on a case like this where there is no dispute. There are only a few medical examiners and the workload is huge. In a case like this where everyone knows about it and the family members don't want an autopsy, it's impossible to do an autopsy."

Yuuki Si let out a long breath.

So, he can't take revenge today?

It seems that I really took it for granted.

The murder hat does make the Shimizu family pay the price.

But this hat is not so easy to put on.

Seeing that Yuki Shi fell silent, Tomoda Masashi said no more, patted Yuki Shi's shoulder gently and said:

"It's alright kid, the moment I came, your predicament was resolved."

"So why don't you just take a good rest and wait until this is over?"

What Tomoda Masashi said was indeed the truth when he appeared.

The Shimizu family's plot to frame Yuki Shi and prevent them from holding the funeral in peace failed.

Yukishi gritted his teeth, obviously unwilling to give in.

Tomoda Masashi wanted to say something else.

But the voice of Masahiro Makino was heard outside the door.

"Officer Tomoda, Teacher Yoko is here and said she wants to testify for Yuuki Tsukasa."

Ok?

Yuki Tsukasa and Tomoda Masashi were both stunned for a moment.

Then, the two of them went out directly.

Teacher Yoko was seen standing in the hall with a serious face, surrounded by members of the Shimizu family who all had unfriendly faces.

Seeing Tomoda Masashi coming out, Yoko hurried forward and said:

"Officer Tomoda, I can vouch for Yuki Tsutomu. The popular science that Yuki-kun gave us yesterday was very useful and very clear, and there was no instruction for us to see a doctor at will."

Tomoda Masashi looked at her with complicated eyes, then turned to look at Yuuki Shi.

Then he said:

"Teacher Yoko, I already understand the situation you mentioned, and we have no intention of holding him responsible."

Hearing this, Yoko's serious expression eased a little.

But the Qingshui people on the side were not happy.

One of the younger ones stood up and shouted:

"Officer Tomoda, Yuuki Shi's problem now is not that he killed my grandmother, but that he caused our grandmother to be unable to be buried on time. We were all injured."

Before Tomoda Masashi could say anything, Yoko cursed with a dark face:

"Qing Shuicheng, do you have a boil on your brain?"

"In this matter, it was you who first caused trouble for Yukiro Shi, and Yukiro Shi was forced to fight back."

"Why can't a bunch of you beat one person? Is it his fault?"

"Is your Qingshui family's family tradition so despicable?"

Tomoda's face turned red after being scolded.

But he didn't dare to refute.

Yoko is a teacher on Oshima Island. It can be said that almost all the younger generation are her students.

In Japan, the tradition of respecting teachers is more stringent than one might imagine.

If he refutes it now.

Not tomorrow, but today the Qingshui family will be driven out by the people on the big island.

This is a question of family style and character.

Yuki Shi never expected that Teacher Yoko would come to speak for him.

The people with the highest reputation on the island are the village chief and those old people who are devoted to the island.

It's just that Yoko has the highest reputation.

After all, one-third of the people on this island were once his students.

If she wanted to run for village chief, Yuuki Shi felt that her chances were better than Tanaka Ikeno's.

Tomoda Masashi smiled bitterly and said:

"Teacher Yoko, I actually understand almost everything about this matter. There is indeed nothing wrong with Yuki Shi. Now we need to communicate with the people of the Shimizu family."

"What other questions do they have?"

Yoko snorted with a dark face, "Who is the head of the Qingshui family now? I will talk to him."

As she said this, she turned and looked at the people from the Shimizu family around her.

Qing Shuicheng and others all lowered their heads.

Yoko snorted coldly, and her eyes suddenly noticed Qingshui Minglang who was secretly watching from behind.
