After Chen Yuanyuan returned to the room, she took a tablet and went out to catch up on dramas. It was rare to go out and relax, so she didn't go to the black soil farmland to farm.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden scream on the silent island. Chen Yuanyuan didn't think much, she immediately put on her coat and walked out of the room.
"What happened?" Chen Yuanyuan stepped out of the room and saw Locke walking to the corridor after hearing the sound.
"I don't know, did you hear it too?" Locke asked everyone when he saw He Yuehua, Liu Feiyang and others also walking out of the room.
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Yuanyuan and Locke were about to go find out what happened, when they happened to encounter Assistant Zhao passing by the guest room.
"Good evening, Miss Chen. Are you all here?" Assistant Zhao asked.
"Yes, what happened?" Chen Yuanyuan looked back and saw that seven people were present, then asked Assistant Zhao.
"Miss Zheng's fiancé Li Quan died in the bedroom. Miss Zheng found out when she went to deliver ginger tea," Assistant Zhao said.
When Chen Yuanyuan heard that something had happened to Li Quan, she thought that he had not been seen at the dinner and did not participate in the entertainment activities at night. She did not expect that he was fine yesterday and suddenly died today.
"Take me to the scene first to see." Locke said.
After Assistant Zhao asked about the situation on the walkie-talkie, he used the walkie-talkie to ask Zheng Jiayu.
After getting Zheng Jiayu's permission, Locke and Chen Yuanyuan went to the crime scene, while the rest of the people waited in the mansion.
After arriving at the scene, they saw Li Quan lying in a pool of blood. Zheng Jiamei hugged Li Quan's body and cried while Zheng Jiayu comforted him.
"Who did this?" Zheng Jiamei sobbed sadly.
"Eric, do you have surveillance installed here?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Because all the people living here are our own families, we only installed surveillance cameras on the stairs and elevators, but not in the corridors." After Zheng Jiayu said that, he asked Assistant Zhao to adjust the surveillance cameras.
The converted sanatorium is divided into six floors, with approximately sixteen rooms on each floor.
The ground floor houses servants and living and dining rooms, the second floor is guest rooms and entertainment venues, the third floor is the residence of the young people of the Zheng family, the fourth floor is the residence of the elders and the medical room, the fifth floor is other entertainment facilities, and the sixth floor is storage room.
"Miss Zheng, if you don't mind, let me do an autopsy first." Locke said, looking at Zheng Jiamei who was crying.
"I just contacted the police in the island district," Assistant Zhao said.
"It's okay. Even if the island police come, they have to listen to him." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Jiayu pulled away from Zheng Jiamei and asked Locke to check Li Quan's body.
Due to the severe cold weather, it was impossible to estimate the time of death based solely on the degree of rigor mortis of the body, so it had to be obtained elsewhere.
Locke checked the wounds on his body. There were some bruises and contusions on his face, and there were signs of nosebleeds on his nose, but it should not be fatal.
Turning over the body, the wound on the back of the head was relatively large. Although there was more bleeding, the wound was not deep.
After a complete physical examination, there were no fatal injuries on the body. It was estimated that he died from bleeding and loss of rescue.
Locke walked around the room. There were signs of a fight in the room, and there were signs of lovemaking on the messy bed, and a suitcase was placed next to the body.
When Zheng Jiayu saw this, he opened the suitcase and saw a lot of gold bars and women's jewelry inside. Zheng Jiayu recognized that some of them were expensive gems he gave to his sister Zheng Jiamei.
In addition to used tissues, there was also a pill box in the trash can. Locke picked it up and saw that it was Sildenafil, a drug that makes men stronger.
When Locke took pictures of the evidence one by one, he noticed that there were impurities in Li Quan's water glass, so he also picked up the water glass and the medicine in the trash can.
After going around, Locke first ordered people to seal off the scene and let the bodyguards guard it. Then the group of people went to the living room to wait for the arrival of the police.
Except for a few bodyguards guarding the outside and workers working outdoors, the Zheng family, servants and guests were all gathered in the living room.
"Master Zheng, the monitoring of the stairs on the third floor has been adjusted." Assistant Zhao handed the tablet to Zheng Jiayu.
Zheng Jiayu and Locke watched the surveillance together. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Quan walked from the first floor to the third floor and never left the third floor.
Since there were many people living on the third floor, fortunately it was lunch break and not many people were on the third floor during the time of the crime.
Zheng Jia listed them one by one and asked Locke to investigate.
After Locke's questioning, only four people were found to be suspicious, namely the servant Feifei, the old housekeeper, Uncle Zheng, and Zheng Jiayu's eldest brother Zheng Jiafu.
Locke asked the family doctor to take a look at what was in the glass of water before scrutinizing it.
Although there was only a small amount of medicinal powder left in the water, there were only a few common medicines in Zheng's house. After judging by the appearance and taste, the family doctor pointed out that this was Mr. Zheng's heart disease medicine.
Mr. Zheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, frowned and didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Who would normally come into contact with this drug?" Locke asked.
"Usually, the old housekeeper comes to get the medicine for the master. Occasionally, Mr. Zheng will get the medicine for the master." The family doctor said.
Zheng Jiayu had no time to commit the crime while accompanying the guests, and Mr. Zheng had never appeared in the surveillance, so the old housekeeper was left with certain suspicions.
Locke looked at the old butler, who was not panicked at all. He said that he was usually responsible for getting the medicine, and he only took the amount for one time each time, and there was no extra medicine in his hand.
"No one else has taken this medicine?" Locke asked.
"The housekeeper came over and prescribed medicine twice the day before yesterday. He said that the medicine was dropped. Other than that, he didn't prescribe any more medicine." The doctor thought for a while and said.
"Hmph, that prodigal son was acting wild in my room that day and dropped all my medicines. I asked the housekeeper to get those." Master Zheng pointed at the uncle and said.
Master Zheng said that his uncle secretly left the island last time and went out to gamble again. After he incurred debts, he asked the master to take out some gold bars and jewelry.
Unexpectedly, after being rejected, he became even more angry and angry. He immediately vented his anger in the room, threw the items in the master's room, and accidentally scattered the medicine all over the floor.
Seeing that Mr. Zheng was getting more and more excited as he talked, the old housekeeper quickly comforted him.
"Did you prescribe this medicine to Li Quan?" Locke took out the sildenafil and showed it to the family doctor.
"Yes, Mr. Li said that he has this need. He basically needs one box a week." The family doctor said.
Hearing the doctor's words, Zheng Jiamei's face immediately turned pale. Although he and Li Quan were an unmarried couple, due to the strict family rules of the Zheng family, the two had not had any skin-to-skin contact yet. How could Li Quan use this medicine? ?
Locke then inquired with the doctor and found out that the heart disease medicine and sildenafil in the water cup also had the effect of lowering blood pressure, which could cause dizziness, fatigue, neck and back pain, or severe headaches, or even fainting, which could be life-threatening.
Locke therefore speculated that Li Quan had low blood pressure due to the effects of drugs, and was injured and bled to death.
