...
As major official Weibo accounts rushed to cheer for Lin Chuan, his popularity soared, and subsequently, his fan base also exceeded one million.
While the internet was abuzz discussing Lin Chuan, he had already quietly left Lüzhou and boarded a high-speed train to Jinghai.
...
Two days later, at the filing room of Jinghai People's Court.
Hoo—Lin Chuan puffed his cheeks and blew a breath, and dust floated off the files.
The last time this file was borrowed was twenty-five years ago. Now, the cover of the file was covered with dust. It can be imagined that if it weren't for Lin Chuan, perhaps this file and the truth hidden within it would never see the light of day again!
"Lawyer Lin Chuan, you really came to Jinghai."
In the filing room, a middle-aged man in a suit extended his hand to Lin Chuan.
'Who are you?'
Lin Chuan had just sat down, ready to review the case files.
"I'm Lian Li, Zhu Lin's high school classmate."
"I was a very good friend of Zhu Lin. After she fell ill, the hospital did not diagnose the exact cause of her illness."
"So I posted Zhu Lin's symptoms on the World Forum and consulted foreign doctors, which finally led to the diagnosis of thallium poisoning."
Lian Li had been camping here every day. He knew that if Lin Chuan came to Jinghai, he would definitely come to the court's case file storage place. However, there were many things not recorded in the files, and he was worried that Lin Chuan might not find the direction of the lawsuit, so he had been waiting outside the door.
"You mean... thirty years ago, you posted on the World Forum, and Zhu Lin was diagnosed with thallium poisoning?"
Lin Chuan was not from that era, but he knew that the internet was a novelty thirty years ago. At that time, there were no network cables in the country, and it was still dial-up internet. Except for multinational trading companies and top institutions like Huaqing University, ordinary people had no access to the internet.
'That's right.'
"It took a lot of effort back then. I stayed in the director's office at Huaqing University for two days, and finally, the department leader approved it."
Looking back now, Lian Li could still vividly remember the scene at the time. There were no specific laws regarding connecting to foreign countries via ladders back then, and it was unclear whether it was illegal. Therefore, some leaders in the hospital were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not connect to foreign countries via ladders.
But human life is of utmost importance, and ultimately, the kindness of humanity triumphed over the cold system.
"Lawyer Lin Chuan, I came to tell you."
"Things have been over for thirty years, and many pieces of evidence collected back then have disappeared, and the records in the files may not even be true."
'So.'
"I will tell you everything I know to the best of my ability."
'I hope.'
"You can seek justice for Zhu Lin and bring the criminals who have escaped legal sanctions to justice."
Tears glistened in Lian Li's eyes. He was also one of the eyewitnesses to Zhu Lin's case, witnessing firsthand how Zhu Lin transformed from a lively and excellent female student into a patient with the intelligence of a seven-year-old.
The murderer is really too evil.
She must not escape legal punishment!
"Don't worry, justice may be late, but it will never be absent."
Lin Chuan's resolute eyes were like a tranquilizer, instantly filling Lian Li with confidence.
"Lawyer Lin Chuan, I will now tell you what I know."
Lian Li took a deep breath, searching his memories of the past and organizing his words.
'Actually.'
"The biggest difficulty in Zhu Lin's case is not finding the murderer, but collecting evidence."
'Thalium element.'
"Thallium was a rare element in Longguo thirty years ago, only available in the chemical laboratories of giant industrial factories and the top academic institutions in the country."
"For example, the laboratory at Huaqing University."
"As a student at Huaqing University, Zhu Lin had thallium in her body."
'Obviously.'
"Someone stole thallium from the chemical laboratory at Huaqing University."
"At that time, the police listed a range of suspects."
"First, the murderer must be able to come and go freely in the chemical laboratory at Huaqing University."
"The teacher in charge of the laboratory keys."
"The chemistry professor who taught the experimental class."
"The students who came to the laboratory for experiments."
...
"They could all be potential murderers."
'But.'
"This is just the initial range of suspects."
"With the deepening investigation by the police."
'Discovered.'
"Before Zhu Lin was diagnosed with thallium poisoning, she had been intermittently ill for half a year."
'Intestinal infection.'
'Stomach bleeding.'
'Tracheitis.'
'Dizziness.'
...
"These are all typical symptoms of thallium poisoning."
'That means.'
"In fact, during the half year that Zhu Lin was ill, she had already been poisoned."
'However.'
"The poisoner chose to use a small amount of thallium and continuously poison Zhu Lin."
'So.'
"This must be an inside job!"
"Considering the previous range of suspects."
"Those who can come and go freely in the chemical laboratory, professors, students, teachers in charge of the chemical experiment keys..."
"After investigation by the police."
'Discovered.'
"One of Zhu Lin's roommates, Jiang Yun, happened to be a chemistry major student with access to thallium."
Section 45
'Therefore.'
"She was also locked in as the primary suspect!"
