Ruslen continued to ask: “Then beside you and your father, who else lives with you? ? “
Doris said:”Me, my father and mother, the three of us live together. ” “
Captain nodded, paused, and asked: “any servant who works at your house?”
“No”, Doris said, “I want to find a nanny for them, but my parents have lived independently all their lives, and they are not used to being served by others. In addition, they are now in their 50s and can take care of themselves, so they have never looked for a nanny.”
Ruslen asked, “Neither you nor your mother has any problems with your bodies?”
Doris shook her head: “No.”
Ruslen nodded and said, “You are a family of three living together, and you and your mother don’t have any problems, so basically it can be inferred that it’s not the food or water in your home.”
While talking, he asked again: “Ms. Doris, I need you to recall carefully. During the period before your father showed signs of illness in his body, did he go out for dinner alone or with his friends?”
Doris thought about it carefully and said seriously: “Neither. Before my father had physical problems, he had been reading at home because of the winter vacation, and he had hardly gone out, so he never went out with others.”
Ruslen couldn’t help frowning: “That is really strange. According to the test data, your father has a large amount of mercury dichloride in his body. This highly toxic substance can enter the body through the mouth and nose. , It may also enter the body through the skin.”
“But our experts speculate that such a large toxic dose may take a long time if it depends on the skin alone, so the most likely entry is through the mouth and nose, and oral administration is the most likely way into the body. But, as you mentioned situation, your father is unlikely to be exposed at home to contaminated food and water. Nevertheless, he has not been out for a meal or drink… “
“Well, It might be a little tricky to figure out where he was poisoned!”
