Chapter 179 I care about him a lot
Upon hearing that there was new evidence, Siyi perked up.
She had long since forgotten her earlier embarrassment, grievance, and resentment. With her phone in hand, she was a bit luckier, and then lowered her voice, "Yes, I'm listening. Go ahead."
"After we parted ways, I went back to check the body again, and I discovered a very important issue."
Siyi heard the sound of Xia Ran turning over papers, and then heard her clear, cold voice slowly and deliberately speaking, "It was already certain before that Wu Nana died of poisoning. However, I also had some doubts at the time. During the autopsy, we found no signs of poisoning in her esophagus, stomach, intestines, or other organs. Moreover, she had drunk red wine before she died, so we could confirm that the wine was not poisonous. After I came back, I carefully examined the body again and found some strange things stuck to the hair on the back of her head. I can preliminarily conclude that the deceased died because a kind of venom entered her bloodstream through the skin on the back of her neck, so all her internal organs were fine."
Perhaps because she had just heard Xia Ran's explanation of the corpse, Si Yi didn't feel nauseous at this moment. She heard it clearly and also grasped the key point very keenly, "What's that stuck to the hair?"
Xia Ran pondered for a moment before saying, "I sent it over for testing, and the report hasn't come out yet, but based on my deduction, it should be some kind of snake skin."
"...Snake, snakeskin?" Siyi was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered, unable to make any connection with snakeskin.
"uh-huh."
Can snake skin cause poisoning?
“No.” Xia Ran immediately dismissed Si Yi’s idea, then paused and said mysteriously, “If the report really comes out as snakeskin, then I can confirm that Wu Nana’s death was not an accident, but rather something deliberately done. So now I’m starting to believe what you said before, that the person wasn’t Jiang Yan who killed her.”
She spoke in such a mysterious way that Siyi couldn't understand her at all, and pressed on, "Ran, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
It'll be in a few days.
Although she knew that finding evidence would not be easy, she was fortunate that Xia Ran was a forensic doctor, and she was also glad that Xia Ran helped her.
At least now, after hearing what she said, if Jiang Yanhui's murder charge could be dropped before the trial, then the other charge of drug possession would be much easier to handle.
Xia Ran chuckled softly across the airwaves, "Siyi, I remember you used to be so aloof and arrogant, you wouldn't even look at ordinary men. Is Jiang Yanhui really that good? It seems you've really lost your composure because of him."
The conversation flowed smoothly. Siyi's heart skipped a beat at her words. Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly felt the air around her thinner. Turning to the side, she saw Jiang Yan looking back at her with a complicated expression. She pursed her lips, thinking that since it was all his case anyway, she didn't need to hide anything, and directly said to Xia Ran, "Ran, let's talk business."
Xia Ran, having finished her teasing, didn't hold back any longer and explained, "There's a poison called Crimson Poison. This poison is very rare, and of course, none of you would know about it, because it requires two things to combine to cause poisoning. However, this poison is extremely potent. As soon as it comes into contact with the skin, it quickly seeps into the bloodstream, and death occurs within two minutes. The deceased will vomit a large amount of blood in the last few seconds before death. Ordinary people can't tell that this is a case of poisoning; only an autopsy can confirm it."
"Crimson Poison?" She had never heard of it before. After all, she was just a lawyer, and she didn't know much about medicine. "How do you infect someone with this poison?"
"First, a layer of something is applied to the skin. It's hard to find in the market; it's called 'Huanxiang.' This stuff is similar to the rouge of ancient times. When applied to the body, it has a very peculiar fragrance, somewhat like lavender and somewhat like rose, a mixed scent that I can't quite describe. But it's said to have a slight aphrodisiac effect. Anyway, the scent is particularly alluring, but it won't affect the body. Generally, it will completely dissipate and evaporate after 24 hours. This Huanxiang is a specialty of Myanmar or the Golden Triangle; it's generally not available in China. However, if this stuff comes into contact with snake skin, it will definitely cause a deadly poisoning, and death is inevitable."
Siyi was horrified. After a long pause, she murmured, "...So, you suspect that Wu Nana was previously smeared with this kind of fragrance? And then she happened to come across the snakeskin, so..."
"This is the preliminary estimate."
Xia Ran simply said, "The report can be ready by tomorrow morning. After all, everyone's off work now, and no one else is like me, working overtime all night for a friend. Can you wait?"
Siyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "Ran, you're so kind. I'll come see you again tomorrow and treat you to a meal."
Xia Ran chuckled and said okay. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up. Si Yi had just put her phone away when she turned around and saw Jiang Yan standing beside her, looking thoughtful, seemingly lost in thought.
Siyi thought for a moment. Anyway, there were some things she would have to tell him sooner or later. Right now, her position was as his lawyer, so she could put personal matters aside. She calmed herself down before speaking, "The call just now was from my friend. She's the forensic doctor in your case. I think you heard it, right? Do you have any thoughts on it?"
Jiang Yan, of course, heard everything Si Yi said. He could at least clearly hear what she said and roughly deduce what had happened. At this moment, he didn't have time to think about anything else. Recalling the situation that night, he said in a deep voice, "Did your friend say what kind of fragrance it was?"
"It's a scent that's somewhat similar to lavender and somewhat similar to rose, a blend of scents." Siyi relayed Xia Ran's words to Jiang Yanhui, adding with a half-smile, "It also has aphrodisiac properties. Young Master Yan should be familiar with that, right?"
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, reached out and pulled Siyi into his arms. As soon as she moved, he leaned down and buried his face in her neck. "Baby, you really are jealous. Even if I had been drugged with aphrodisiacs, I would have definitely sought you out to detoxify myself. I would never have touched another woman."
"Who, who's jealous?" Siyi vehemently denied it. Every time this man hugged her, she couldn't break free. She angrily pushed him away, "Can you let go of me? I'm your lawyer now, you're my client, don't touch me, Jiang Yanhui!"
"But you're my woman too, why can't I hold you?"
"Who's your woman?"
"you are not?"
"no!"
"Baby, do you want me to prove it to you here? Hmm?"
"You...you shouldn't call me baby! Who's your baby? Let me go!"
"Then please don't be angry, okay?"
Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to explain, pressing her advantage, "What happened earlier was really a misunderstanding. I truly consider Qing Shu like a younger sister. I promise you, I will never marry another woman. As long as it's my grandfather, he has a bad temper. I hope you won't hold a grudge against an old man, right?"
Actually, Siyi was indeed angry at first.
But after having a real argument with Jiang Yan's grandfather, she calmed down on her way to the hospital.
She's not some seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who can't think for herself. Doesn't she know what kind of person Jiang Yan Hui is?
Although he was usually cynical, she knew he was not a simple person. A man like that wouldn't waste time hiding his marriage.
As for Lin Zhenbiao, she always knew that none of the men around Jiang Yanhui were ones she liked. Did she expect anyone else to like her?
People from two different worlds, no matter how much you talk, it's like casting pearls before swine. Looking back now, haven't I also been a little impulsive?
She'd already lost her temper and was suffering the consequences, yet he was still chasing after her to explain. There was really no need to say anything more. She wasn't dramatic; she knew when to stop.
Especially seeing this man staring intently at her, his eyes filled with expectation, just waiting for her answer.
She eventually softened. From the moment he got into trouble, she had already admitted her feelings. She just didn't say some things, but feelings are not something you can pretend you don't have just because you don't want to admit them.
Just as Xia Ran said, how much does she really care about this man?
Perhaps, only God knows.
"I'm talking to you about the case right now, can you be serious for once?"
She composed herself, deliberately keeping a straight face, and said, word by word, "Young Master Yan, you're blurring the lines between public and private matters. I still want to earn that three million yuan, so please cooperate with me, okay?"
Even if you understand, it doesn't mean you can condone it.
At least he took off his pants in front of that doctor and said those things, so he absolutely cannot be let off lightly!
"What did I do that was inappropriate?"
Jiang Yan replied dismissively, "To me, this is the most important thing. Also, if you dare to call me Young Master Yan again, do you believe I'll kiss you? I'll kiss you until you call me by my name!"
Siyi blushed and glared at him angrily, "What a scoundrel!"
"Thank you for the compliment. Come here, call me Brother Yan Hui and let me hear it."
Someone got the benefit but acted innocent, smiling wickedly.
Siyi sneered and said coldly, "Brother Yan Hui? Isn't that what your good sister Qing Shu calls him?"
Jiang Yan realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. His lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that this little wildcat probably wasn't really angry anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have let him hold her and say so much. He wisely chose to change the subject, "Baby, I suddenly remembered something. I did smell that fragrance you mentioned before on that dead woman. It was a very special scent."
