Chapter 18 Poisoning

Lu Jinping had already seen from Mr. Gao's expression that he understood what he said, and then said, "The old man should know my ability to solve the case now, right? If possible, I hope the old man can find a way to adjust me to be a criminal officer."

Old Master Gao shook his head and said, "I only have the power to recommend talents, and I don't have the power to change your position, not to mention that I can't change it immediately after just appointed. The most important thing is that I think that even if you have the ability to detect a small amount of arsenic from vomit, I am afraid it will not be able to escape the scope of your medical skills. This is not the ability to solve the case. Therefore, this cannot prove that you have the ability to be a criminal officer."

Lu Jinping opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Old Master Gao waved his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "I can understand your mood of being a criminal official. You think that a criminal official is more prestigious than a medical official, but you don't know that the criminal official's responsibility is relatively greater than that of a medical official. If a medical official cannot cure a disease, it will harm one person at most. However, if a criminal official cannot catch the murderer and let the murderer get away with the law, it will harm many people. Of course, this metaphor is not appropriate. If a medical official is not good, it will harm many people, but it is always worse than that of a criminal official. Therefore, the criminal official has higher requirements and greater responsibility. As far as I know you at present, I think you do not have the ability of a criminal official. So, you should be your medical official with peace of mind."

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly. In ancient times, poison testing was basically the most superficial level of silver needle poison detection. There was no special criminal investigation technology in ancient times. It was nothing more than seeing if there was blood on the weapon. It was suspected that the murderer was caught and questioned. The case was solved. There was no question about modern and professional technology like criminal forensics to solve the case. No wonder Mr. Gao did not agree with Lu Jinping's ability to detect trace amounts of arsenic from vomit.

After understanding this, Lu Jinping was too lazy to say it anymore, but said, "The old man can take your daughter back. You already know that she is poisoned by arsenic, so you know what medicine to give her. I don't need to be troubled."

Speaking of this, Lu Jinping hesitated for a moment and decided to remind him, after all, someone helped him become an official and could not watch his daughter be poisoned to death. Then he said, "Old Master Gao, have you told the news of your return today to the people in your house?"

"I said that when I was about to enter the city, I asked a servant to come back on a fast horse and inform them."

"That means, the people in the house know that you are going to return to Tongzhou soon?"

"Yes."

"Then I dare predict that the murderer who poisoned your daughter will poison again today. Moreover, this murderer has the will to kill your daughter. He did not succeed in the first two poisonings. This time your daughter returns home safely. The murderer's poisoning will be fatal, so be careful!"

Old Master Gao was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"Is it true? I'll know after a while!"

"Okay! Thank you for your reminder. Can you ask your lord to come back to your house and catch the real murderer?"

"Okay!"

The two of them came out of the flower hall and returned to the wing room. Old Master Gao said to the third aunt: "Let's take my daughter home immediately."

The third aunt asked in confusion: "But, my daughter's illness has not been completely cured. She still needs someone to help her when she walks. Should she talk about it for a few more days after the Lord's treatment?"

Old Master Gao shook his head and said, "No need, the Lord has told me the prescription that he can get medicine for his daughter when he goes back."

The third aunt was very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked Lu Jinping. She helped her daughter out and got on the carriage and drove back. Lu Jinping took his maid Ye Qingqing and followed him in another carriage.

The carriage came to Gao's mansion soon. The Gao's mansion had already received news. Mr. Gao's two wives and concubines were waiting at the door with maids and mothers, and came up to help support Miss Gao into the house.

After arriving at Miss Gao's boudoir, Mrs. Gao and her second concubine were busy coming in to visit and ask about their well-being.

When she got home, Miss Gao heard that Lu Jinping had told her father that the prescription was told, and she let go of her heart and said without any restraint. She angrily said why Lu Jinping was not willing to be a son-in-law from the Gao family, and she was not worthy of him at all? Although Mrs. Gao and others advised him not to say it, she agreed in person, and after she left, she started talking behind her back, and only wanted to have a resentment in her heart. However, she did not expect that such a statement would become a laughing stock of others, and the maids and mothers all used this as a joke in private.

Miss Gao vented her dissatisfaction for a long time and felt hungry, so she asked her mother to cook something delicious for herself. When the third aunt heard that her daughter wanted to eat the food she made herself, she was very proud and happy, so she cooked herself to make some dishes she liked for her daughter and brought them to her for her to eat.

When she smelled the fragrant food, Miss Gao was drooling and quickly picked up the dishes to pick up the food. At this moment, she heard a silence: "Don't eat!"

The sound was very loud, and Miss Gao was so scared that the chopsticks and dishes in her hand fell to the ground. She quickly looked up and saw that there were old man Gao standing at the door, with two people next to her, one was the senior manager, and the other was the young miracle doctor Lu Jinping, who was grateful and annoyed by Miss Gao.

Old Master Gao quickly came over and glanced at the dishes on the ground. He knew that his daughter had not eaten it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The third aunt at the table looked at Old Master Gao with a pale face in panic and asked stutteringly: "Master, why can't you eat it?"

Old Master Gao did not answer, turned to the senior manager and said, "Bring the dog in!"

The senior manager quickly agreed, greeted him, and soon came in from outside the door, holding a dog and putting it on the table.

The dog sniffed the dish on the nose and chewed it at a plate of meat.

Soon the dog ate all the meat, and the dog ate two more dishes of meat. Just as he was about to continue eating, the dog whimpered suddenly, then sat on the table, began to tremble, his whole body twitched, and his nostrils whimpered.

Now, the third concubine and Miss Gao were frightened and didn't know what was going on.

The dog curled up on the table and tried hard to stand up. He waved his body a few times, turned off the table with a bang, fell to the ground, white bubbles appeared in his mouth, and began to vomit, and after a while, his body slowly became soft. His eyes closed and he stopped moving again.

The senior manager stepped forward and kicked the dog, but the dog still didn't move. The senior manager squatted down and looked at his breath, shook his head, and said to Mr. Gao: "Master, the dog is dead."

Old Master Gao looked at the third aunt with a penis face: "Did you see it? The food is poisonous, what's going on?"

Now, Miss Gao finally reacted. She was so scared that she was trembling all over and couldn't sit steadily. She fell from the stool and couldn't get up for a while. The maid was also frightened by the side, trembling all over, and even forgot to come over to support the lady.

The third aunt was so scared that she lost her soul. She knelt on the ground with a gurgle, kowtowed and said, "Master, it's not my poison. How could I poison my own daughter to death?"

Old Master Gao turned around and said to Lu Jinping: "Sir, it's true that the murderer really poisoned my daughter. I'll report to the official and ask the government to investigate the case. We must catch the real murderer!"

Lu Jinping said: "Old Master Gao, the person who poisoned the poison is likely to be a person in your house or even a relative around you. Because your daughter was chronically poisoned before, it took a long time and a small dose to slowly be given. Those who can do this must be the people around you. It may even be something that people who don't want outsiders to know about it. If the people from the yamen take over now, your family scandal will soon spread throughout the city. Is this the result that Old Master Gao hopes to see?"
