Lu Ming came to a conclusion based on common sense reasoning: from Mu Yi's reaction, it should be an acquaintance who committed the crime, not an outsider sneaking in to poison. The reason why Mu Yi did not let the police station file the case after reporting the case may be that she had already committed the crime. I noticed something, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it, I can't let my family scandal out to the outside world.

"After this incident, we just dismissed a chef, didn't we find any other problems?" Lu Ming asked again.

"What else can I do? This chef must have been careless for a while, but since someone died, someone must be responsible, so he had no choice but to leave, and he didn't lose money. The lady also gave him a resettlement fee." Butler Sun sighed.

Lu Ming confirmed that this chef is just a scapegoat, and the real poisoner is still at large!The crux of the problem is, what is the purpose of poisoning?Lu Ming's mind was full of fog.He asked the cook's name and home address, which he wrote down in his notebook.

"Has the police identified what kind of poison it is?" Lu Ming asked.

"We don't need to identify it at the police station. We found out afterwards that it is a poisonous mushroom. It is difficult to distinguish it from the mushrooms we eat often without looking carefully. The chef was careless and didn't check it out." Sun Butler explained.

"Oh, poisonous mushrooms..." He had heard of similar poisoning incidents.

Lu Ming wondered if he was delusional, maybe this was really an accident?

Every year, there are many cases of people who die from eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. Even so, people still cannot refuse the temptation of the delicious taste of mushrooms.The most terrible thing is that some poisonous mushrooms look almost exactly the same as edible mushrooms, and ordinary people cannot distinguish them.

"This poisoning, how many people died in the family?" Lu Ming asked again.

Steward Sun counted with his fingers, and finally said: "A total of six people died, and two of them were left with one breath, and they just pulled them back from the gate of hell."

"So many people died?" Lu Ming opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Immediately he felt that this number was not high, or even too low.There are hundreds of people eating in the Sheng family every day, and only six people were infected in one food poisoning incident. This number is obviously low.

Generally speaking, in most mushroom poisoning incidents, the whole family is poisoned. Of course, not all of them will die. As long as they are discovered early and rescued in time, many people can still be saved.

"Six people died, but more than 30 people were poisoned. Fortunately, the lady found out in time and immediately sent them to Tongrentang Hospital with various vehicles. Only six died, and two of them belonged to the lady. Maid, Miss is very sad about this." The situation introduced by Butler Sun confirmed his guess.

"Fortunately, Mu Yi doesn't eat mushrooms, it's God's will." Lu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that Sheng Muyi suffered from diarrhea for three days after eating a certain mushroom when she was a child, and she was tossing and dying, so since then, mushrooms have been permanently removed from her diet.

He originally suspected that this was a poisoning incident targeting Sheng Muyi, but if someone really poisoned him, he should know Sheng Muyi's eating habits.If not for Sheng Muyi, who is it for?Sheng Youde was discussing business in Hangzhou that day, so it can be excluded.

"Did only two of Mu Yi's maids die? How did I hear that three of them died?" Lu Ming thought that Yuan Mingzhu had made a mistake and wanted to confirm it.

"You've heard all this? You're really careful. You're a detective." Butler Sun laughed.

Then he sighed again: "This is all misfortune for the family. It is true that only two maids of the eldest lady died in the poisoning incident, and another eldest maid was stabbed in the street when she went shopping for the lady that day. He is dead, and the police haven’t caught the criminal yet.”

"Being stabbed to death in the street? This is another case!" Lu Ming's nerves tensed immediately.

"It's really strange to say this. At that time, the girl was out shopping for the lady, and she brought a bag with not much money in it. Who knows where a guy came out, and without a word, he stabbed the girl Huan stabbed, then snatched the bag and fled. There were still many people present at the time, but they were all petrified, and no one dared to step forward to stop them."

"How could such a thing happen? It's too strange. It's not too early or too late, just at this time." Lu Ming frowned and thought.

"At that time, the house was already in a mess, so I thought it was a robber or a thief or something." Steward Sun looked confused.

Lu Ming's brain was running fast. If it was a robber, he would not stab someone with a knife, because the criminal knew the difference between robbery and murder, and the latter would lose his head.

If it was not a robbery, but a deliberate murder, why take the bag?Not only was it superfluous, but he also had one more piece of evidence in his hands that could convict him.

There can only be one explanation: killing and robbing are what murderers do.

As for the motive, it is impossible to speculate, but the motive of killing money for money should not exist. The money in the hand of a maid is not enough to make a person kill, even if this person is at the end of his life.

The more important thing is that it was in a busy city at that time, there were many people nearby, and there were many witnesses. The murderer ignored so many people around and blatantly killed people.

"What's the girl's name? What is she going to buy for Mu Yi?" Lu Ming asked.

"This... I really don't know very well. You know, I don't know much about Miss. The girl is called Dongmei. She grew up with Miss. Later, Miss went to study in the United States, and she followed her. Who would have thought that it would be fine to travel across the ocean to a foreign country, but would die in a busy market after returning home." Butler Sun said with a wry smile.

Lu Ming felt sad in his heart.He is familiar with this Dongmei, it should be said that he is familiar with the maids around Mu Yi, because he has often played with Mu Yi since he was a child, and these maids are their playmates.

"Sister Dongmei died too unjustly. Where is she buried? Someday I will burn a stick of incense and burn some paper money."

"This is difficult. Her body was taken away by her family and buried in her hometown. Her hometown is from Anhui. I really can't remember the specific place." Sun Guanjia said.

"Oh, forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance."

Lu Ming didn't want to ask any more questions. The series of unlucky things that happened in the Sheng family made people shudder. Knowing one more thing is like uncovering a layer of sores and facing an unbearable tear.

"Master Lu, I know that you have a very good relationship with the girls around Miss, but you can only think about these things. When you are old, you will know that things are impermanent. There is nothing you can't see, only unexpected things. Anything can happen." Sun Butler said a few words and left with a sad expression on his face.

Lu Ming stood there in a daze for a long time, his whole body seemed to be soaked in sorrow and pain inside and out, which made him have no strength or desire to think about anything else, to do anything else.

A round and pretty face appeared in his mind, with playful dimples on his cheeks, and when he smiled, it made you feel spring breeze blowing against your face.

Why are so many beautiful and kind things in this world so easily broken?

Why do some evil and ugly things in this world can get away with it repeatedly?

There seemed to be a fire in his heart, and he wanted to burn something clean.

"What? Lu Ming is back?"

Zhang Ziyang, who was sorting out Sheng Muyi's missing files at the police station, almost jumped up when he heard the news.

"Did you really see him with your own eyes?"

Zhang Ziyang stared and questioned the patrolman in coarse uniform, leggings, and cloth shoes.

"Really, Inspector, I saw Master Lu go ashore with my own eyes, and the Second Miss of the Yuan family came back with him."

"Mingzhu is back too? Where are they now?"

"I don't know about this humble position." The patrolman looked at the inspector eagerly and flattered him.

"Okay, I got it, this is a reward for you." Zhang Ziyang took out a shiny ocean from his trouser pocket and threw it over.

"Thank you, Inspector." The patrolman reached out to catch it, and the joy in his heart was gone.

In the police station, everyone knew that Inspector Zhang Ziyang had a lot of money, and as long as he worked for him, the benefits would be indispensable.

Aren't these two people going to get married?Did you come back early after finishing the major event?Zhang Ziyang pondered for a while.

"Well, the Sheng family must have invited Lu Ming back." Zhang Ziyang said to himself, thinking about this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It is true that he recommended Lu Ming to the Sheng family, but this also shows that Sheng Youde was completely disappointed in the police station.Not only did Lu Ming have no objection to accepting the case, on the contrary he raised his hands and feet in favor.But then again, will Lu Ming be able to solve this case?He shook his head, based on his experience in solving crimes, it was too difficult and the chance of success was not high.

Zhang Ziyang didn't doubt Lu Ming's ability at all.The reason why he was able to sit in the position of detective is more than half of the credit belongs to Lu Ming. In the past six months, it was Lu Ming who helped him analyze and cracked several important cases. It was only then that he became a leader in the Shanghai Bund police system. Not long ago, he was promoted Inspector.

But the case of the Sheng family was too strange. To put it bluntly, it was pure hell.

He didn't want to go to Lu Ming right away. Of course he knew where Lu Ming's apartment was and where the detective agency was. He still wanted to go deeper into the details of the case and check it carefully. If Ming solves some problems, it can at least prove that he, the detective, is not just for nothing.

But he went through the case again from beginning to end, but he still couldn't find the slightest place to start.

Generally speaking, a case always has several aspects of suspects to choose from, motives for committing crimes, and methods of committing crimes, but in this case, there are no suspects at all, and no one with motives for committing crimes can be found.

It’s fine if you don’t have any clues about the perpetrator. It’s okay if you have the means of committing the crime. The clues left by the means of committing the crime can often be deduced from the motive and the perpetrator in reverse. Man-made traces.Ghosts commit crimes, who would believe it?

This conclusion will make people laugh out loud. The police department is incompetent, and they push the matter to the ghosts.Instead of this, it is better to simply seal it up as a no-response case and wait for a chance to reopen the case in the future.

In fact, the chief of the police thinks this way. If Sheng Youde hadn't been too powerful and rich in Shanghai, the case would have been sealed up long ago. However, Sheng Youde provided a large amount of funds for handling the case and insisted that To see a person die is to see a corpse, and he will never stop until the case is solved.The police chief had no choice but to take the money from others, so he couldn't be silent, so he pushed all the troubles on Zhang Ziyang and asked him to deal with it.Regarding when the case will be solved and whether it will be solved, the police station is silent.

Then Lu Ming is back, will it bring a turn for the case?

Although he thought it was impossible in his heart, Zhang Ziyang still felt that there was a glimmer of hope. Didn't Lu Ming turn the impossible into possible in the past several major cases?

In Zhang Ziyang's heart, Lu Ming is a person who is good at creating miracles. If this case can really be solved, then Lu Ming is the chosen one.
