Chapter 388 A Cup of Peach Kernel Powder (Today's Update)
Cyanide is a deadly toxin.
The direct cause of Zhao Guangming's death was suffocation.
But why is there cyanide in his body?
"What kind of cyanide is it?"
The autopsy examiner turned on the projection: "We detected trace amounts of hydrocyanic acid in the body of the deceased!"
Hydrocyanic acid?
When Chen Yan heard this, he frowned.
Hydrocyanic acid can be said to be cyanide, but not cyanide.
The source of this substance is not produced by the human body's direct ingestion of cyanide, which cannot be metabolized and accumulated.
It is produced inside the human body after ingesting certain substances.
Therefore, to a certain extent, hydrocyanic acid is not a hydride.
However, even if it is a substance produced by the internal metabolism of the human body, hydrocyanic acid cannot be ultimately metabolized and will accumulate more and more.
The source of this substance is a substance called amygdalin (dai).
When the human body ingests amygdalin (dai), this substance interacts with some digestive enzymes in the human body to release hydrocyanic acid.
Hydrocyanic acid has a strong affinity with the iron ions in red blood cells in the human body.
In other words, with this substance in the human body, the iron ions in red blood cells will not combine with oxygen.
This results in a decrease in blood oxygen saturation.
When a sufficient amount of hydrocyanic acid accumulates in the human body, poisoning and death will occur.
The source of amygdalin (dai), as the name suggests, comes from bitter almonds.
Of course, not only bitter almonds, but other nuclear nuts, such as peach kernels, also contain a small amount of amygdalin (dai).
When Chen Yan heard the autopsy examiner say the name of hydrocyanic acid, these contents naturally came to mind.
"Have you analyzed the contents of Zhao Guangming's stomach?"
The autopsy examiner nodded: "The analysis has been done."
"Before his death, the deceased had taken Viagra, and we detected residual substances in his stomach."
"In addition to these, we also found residues of peach kernel powder."
Peach kernel powder?
"You mean... Zhao Guangming has the habit of taking peach kernel powder for a long time."
"Is that why he has hydrocyanic acid in his system?"
The autopsy examiner was a little surprised that Chen Yan actually knew that peach kernel powder was related to hydrocyanic acid.
You know, this is professional knowledge that only autopsy examiners have.
However, now that it was time to report the autopsy, the autopsy examiner did not dare to ask Chen Yan face to face why he knew this.
The autopsy examiner nodded: "The source of hydrocyanic acid is amygdalin, and bitter almonds contain more of this toxic substance."
"However, in addition to bitter almonds, it is also found in peach kernels."
"From the hydrocyanic acid content detected in the corpse, can we determine the specific amount or time he consumed peach kernels?"
"This... we can only make some estimates."
The autopsy examiner thought for a while: "The hydrocyanic acid content in the deceased's body has reached one-third of the lethal amount."
"Judging from the amount of peach kernel powder residue found in the deceased's stomach..."
"We roughly judge that if the deceased had a cup of peach kernel powder every morning, he would have been drinking it for at least ten years!"
ten years!
This time is not short.
Generally speaking, peach kernel powder is only taken as a health supplement.
Mainly because peach kernels contain some vitamins, but the amount should not be too much.
Taking it continuously for ten years is definitely a chronic suicide.
After the autopsy results were reported, Chen Yan sat alone in the conference room, immersed in deep thought.
ten years!
The first picture that popped into Chen Yan's mind was that of a person.
Zhao Guangming’s wife Tian Min.
According to Tian Min, she and Zhao Guangming have a good relationship.
The relationship between husband and wife is very stable.
Zhao Guangming doesn't have dinner at home except when he is holding international meetings and working out. He usually goes home.
Even if Zhao Guangming holds an international meeting in the company, Tian Min will send breakfast to the company every morning.
etc!
Chen Yan's expression was suddenly startled.
Something is wrong.
Tian Min is lying!
Just now, the autopsy examiner reported on the injuries on Zhao Guangming's back.
These scars were caused by the deceased being addicted to abuse for a long time before his death and scratched by various sex tools and women's nails.
It took about ten years for these scars to form.
ten years!
Zhao Guangming and Tian Min are a couple who share the same bed. Wouldn't Tian Min discover the scars on Zhao Guangming's back?
Is it possible that it was not discovered?
Of course it's possible.
If Zhao Guangming and Tian Min had stopped living together ten years ago, then Tian Min would naturally not have discovered the scars behind Zhao Guangming.
However, according to Tian Min's confession, her relationship with Zhao Guangming is very stable.
Then it would be impossible to sleep in different beds from ten years ago.
Therefore, she will definitely discover the scars behind Zhao Guangming.
There were so many injuries on her husband's back for no reason, wouldn't Tian Min ask why?
Especially the scratches caused by some fingernails, Tian Min himself can distinguish them even if he is not a professional.
Therefore, through these scars, Tian Min must know that Zhao Guangming is messing around outside.
But in the interrogation room, Tian Min said that she and her husband had a very good relationship and their relationship was very stable.
He also said that Zhao Guangming is a very family-oriented person.
So, why did Tian Min lie?
Ten years ago!
This time point is very interesting.
The scars on Zhao Guangming's back probably started to form ten years ago.
And Zhao Guangming has been taking walnut powder for about ten years.
What about Tian Min? If Zhao Guangming doesn't go home, she will bring breakfast to Zhao Guangming every day...
It's terrifying to think about it.
After thinking about it, Chen Yan called Wu Zhiguo.
"Captain Wu, send someone to Guangming Ocean Shipping Company to check the relationship between Zhao Guangming and Tian Min."
Since Tian Min often goes back to bring breakfast to Zhao Guangming, the people in the company will definitely know.
"Also, ask the people in Zhao Guangming's office what breakfast Tian Min brought to Zhao Guangming is."
"Yes!"
This matter is not difficult.
Send two detectives to ask around and you will know.
In less than two hours, the results of the investigation were placed in front of Chen Yan.
Wu Zhiguo was reporting: "According to people from Guangming Ocean Shipping Company, Zhao Guangming and Tian Min have a very good relationship."
"They are even a celebrity couple that the company employees envy very much."
"Although Zhao Guangming has a big business, he is very family-oriented and rarely goes out for social events."
"Tian Min also often sends breakfast to Zhao Guangming."
"We asked some staff members in Zhao Guangming's general manager's office."
"The breakfast sent by Tian Min is very rich, and the variety is different every time."
"But, what always happens is a cup of peach kernel powder, which is said to be a vitamin supplement..."
Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and it was true!
"Immediately launch a comprehensive investigation of Tian Min."
"I know who she is in contact with, bank account changes, phone records, shopping records, WeChat records and other information."
"But...the investigation must be conducted secretly, and don't alert the enemy."
Tian Min, now it seems that there is a major suspect in the crime!
She even started planning all this ten years ago.
However, Chen Yan still has a question in his mind.
Since Tian Min started giving Zhao Guangming peach kernel powder ten years ago, the intention should be to use chronic food poisoning to poison Zhao Guangming.
But why has it changed now?
Did she tamper with the soft stool legs in the gym?
If so, wouldn't all the plans of the past ten years have come to nothing?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
But if not, who tampered with the soft stool?
Is Tian Min the only one who wants to kill Zhao Guangming?
