You're Guilty: Conspiracy Scene 2 crime escalation

Chapter 24 The Mystery of the Half Stomach

The case of Xu Mutian was settled, the evidence was conclusive, and the murderer pleaded guilty.Xu Hao and his wife are busy with activities, they must sentence Zhou Zhuxiu to death, and try to send Li Shouquan to prison for several years in the name of dereliction of duty to vent their hatred.In addition, Guo Meijuan and Zhao Yingying were also expelled from the hospital where they worked under the pressure of Xu Hao and his wife.Even so, Xu Hao and his wife still felt that revenge was not enough, and their resentment was hard to appease.

Xu Mutian's body had been kept in the freezer, and Xu Hao and his wife had to wait until Zhou Zhuxiu was shot before cremating his body.

After Xu Mutian's widow, Gu Shuilian, came out of the pain of losing her husband, she began to arrange matters such as division of inheritance and insurance compensation.

Only Su Caixuan was not satisfied with the result, she still couldn't let go of the mystery that half of Xu Mutian's stomach disappeared.

She stubbornly believes that behind Xu Mutian, there is still an unsolved mystery, which is even more incredible than the puzzle laid by Zhou Zhuxiu.

How can a person digest his own stomach?

Although Su Caixuan is a forensic doctor who is quite accomplished in the professional field, she has never thought about this issue.The only thing that is certain is that as long as the timing and conditions are right, the stomach can digest itself.In theory, chicken gizzards are harder and rougher than human stomachs, but human stomachs can digest chicken gizzards, and of course they can digest themselves.

Su Caixuan told Li Guanlan her doubts.

Li Guanlan only knew a little bit about forensic science, and he was even more at a loss. He thought for a while before saying, "I have heard of diseases such as gastric ulcer and gastric perforation, but how can the human stomach digest itself? If this premise is true, Why is it never heard of someone's stomach disappearing out of thin air?"

Su Caixuan said: "Now there is a case, Xu Mutian is."

Li Guanlan was still somewhat skeptical, and said, "Unless you can prove it to me."

Su Caixuan said: "I knew that you only believed in your own eyes. Fortunately, I have done the experiment beforehand."

As Su Caixuan spoke, she took out the experimental equipment and placed it in front of Li Guanlan, saying: "There are two types of cells in the gastric wall mucosa, one secretes hydrochloric acid, and the other secretes a substance called 'pepsinogen'. The corrosion of these two substances Hydrochloric acid can corrode even metals, while pepsin can decompose protein, the main component of gastric cells is protein, now let’s see if these two strong corrosive substances can corrode gastric parietal cells.”

Su Caixuan put a piece of air-dried brown meat into the test tube and said: "This is a small part cut from a human stomach." Then put hydrochloric acid and pepsin into the test tube, and then placed the test tube on the heater , adjusted to forty degrees Celsius, and said: "This is closer to the environment of the human stomach."

Li Guanlan stared intently at the changes in the test tube.

After 2 minutes, the cells in the stomach began to dissolve, releasing light white smoke and a pungent smell. After 5 minutes, a small piece of stomach was completely dissolved without any trace.

Su Caixuan looked at Li Guanlan proudly.

Li Guanlan rubbed his stomach subconsciously, whether it was a hallucination of psychological effects or the truth, his stomach seemed to be aching.Li Guanlan said: "Since the secretion of the stomach can digest the cells of the stomach, the stomach must have a self-protection mechanism. Otherwise, the stomach will digest itself within a few days after each of us is born, and human beings will cease to exist. .”

Su Caixuan gave him a thumbs up and said: "As expected of Li Detachment, the mind is very clear. The human stomach has three self-protection mechanisms. One is the fat on the surface of the gastric parietal cells, which can resist the corrosion of hydrochloric acid. The second is to form the gastric wall. The epithelial cells of the stomach are arranged very tightly, which can prevent the invasion of gastric acid solution. The third is that the gastric wall tissue cells can be renewed frequently, even if the inner wall is damaged to a certain extent, it can be repaired in a short time without endangering human health.

Li Guanlan seemed to understand, and said: "If the protective mechanism of the stomach is destroyed, the cells in the stomach will eat away at themselves little by little."

Su Caixuan said: "That's exactly the case. In fact, as long as one of the protective mechanisms is destroyed, the human stomach will eat away at itself and lose the function of self-repair until the entire stomach disappears. Or people will suffer from other diseases before the entire stomach disappears. All kinds of serious diseases, like Xu Mutian, suffering from acute peritonitis, even if Zhou Zhuxiu doesn't kill him, he will die."

Li Guanlan let out a hey, and said: "So many people want him to die, if they really answered that sentence, it's their own fault."

Su Caixuan shook her head, and said, "You can't live without doing your own crimes. In fact, the medicine that makes people's stomach disappear is very simple and common, and that is household detergent."

Li Guanlan was slightly surprised, and said, "Detergent?"

Su Caixuan said: "Yes, it is the daily detergent. Although the fat on the surface of the gastric parietal cells can resist the erosion of hydrochloric acid, it cannot resist the chemical components in the detergent. I have done experiments, if the detergent is used to regularly clean the surface of the stomach The fat in the stomach will soon expose the inner cells of the stomach, and the self-protection mechanism will be completely destroyed. If you add various aspirin preparations or indomethacin, phenylbutazone and other drugs while using detergents, it can promote gastric cancer. Mucosal inflammation, erosions and ulceration."

Li Guanlan said: "If this is the case, then Xu Mutian should have consumed detergents in a long-term and quantitative manner before his death, and may have taken other drugs that stimulate the stomach. Although many detergents are now adulterated with aromatic ingredients, It is not easy to identify when it is mixed in food, but there are only two or three people who have the conditions to allow him to consume detergent for a long time."

Su Caixuan said: "Don't forget Xu Mutian's nickname, even if you investigate hard, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find out the names of all his mistresses within a year."

Li Guanlan said: "There is no need to take so many detours. After all, most of them are romantic relationships. As long as you focus on the people with whom you have a stable and intimate relationship, I believe you will find a breakthrough."

What was even more unexpected was that when Gu Shuilian first came into contact with Li Guanlan, she frankly admitted that she loves to use detergents. The large dose of detergent ingredients in Xu Mutian's body should have accumulated over time in daily life.But Gu Shuilian categorically denied that she did this on purpose.

The hair of this 40-year-old woman who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world is already gray, and the wrinkles on her face are like knives. beauty.Sitting on the sofa, she narrated how she used the detergent:

"Mu Tian likes to do that when he was alive. There are all kinds of women. They are not clean. I have a cleanliness habit. How can I do without detergent? I use detergent every time for the pots, bowls, and dishes at home. Wipe and wipe. The vegetables and fruits I bought are soaked in detergent for a whole day. What about clothes? Every time I wash, I use detergent at least three times. I can’t help it. I have a cleanliness and he likes it. What if it's not clean to do that outside?
"Aspirin? He takes it often. He likes to do that. Aspirin is anti-inflammatory, you know? How about not taking medicine regularly? It's terrible to have a dirty disease.

"Kill him? Are you kidding? He is my husband and my daughter's father. How could I kill him? He is the head of Heping District, a high-ranking official, and the pride and reliance of our whole family. Why should I kill him?" kill him?"

It was a strange case, a difficult trial.The person involved confessed to the process of mutilating the victim, but insisted that there was no motive for the killing, but for the sake of the victim's health.The court has nothing to follow and does not know how to convict Gu Shuilian.

If the case were tried in Quzhou City, with the influence of Xu Hao and his wife, Gu Shuilian would be executed 100% by shooting.However, Gu Shuilian had already made preparations. On the second day after Xu Mutian died, he invited a luxurious team of seven lawyers through Beijing's connections, including legal experts such as consultants from the Chinese Society of Criminal Law and procedural law professors from the University of Political Science and Law.The price she paid is also the highest for a criminal defense lawyer in China - if the case is won, she and Xu Mutian will have seven properties, three stores, 500 million yuan in deposits and Xu Mutian's 1000 million yuan in personal insurance Half of that will go to the legal team.

I don't know whether it was the luxurious lineup of the legal team or the huge sum of money that ordinary people would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes played a role. The power of Xu Hao and his wife was defeated like never before, and the case of Gu Shuilian was tried in a different place.

In court, members of the legal team spoke eloquently, and on the premise of the current food safety and environmental safety, they asked the public prosecutor: "If Gu Shuilian is guilty, then feeding children with melamine milk powder will cause children to suffer from kidney stones, and decorating the house will cause family members to be exposed to radiation. Are these parents guilty of leukemia? Should the heads of petrochemical and paper companies that pollute the environment be arrested? Should all restaurant owners who knowingly or unknowingly use waste oil be imprisoned? prison?"

If the verdict is pronounced in Quzhou City, Gu Shuilian is very likely to be executed, and the verdict will say that she deserved the heinous crime.But in a different place where Xu Hao's thick arms can't reach, the lawyer team with a strong background exerted a huge influence. Gu Shuilian was acquitted, and the judge's tongue burst into tears, washing Gu Shuilian clean.

Between right and wrong, black and white, a second thought is the difference of a life.
