Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

She raised an eyebrow, "You just said the old man took this medicine, everyone heard it." Under the gaze of the crowd, she shone a UV light—same method, but no pattern appeared.

No patterns appeared on either the medicine box or the prescription slip.

The families of several patients were utterly panicked, even the sobbing old lady fell silent. Everyone looked at them with suspicion, guessing their motives. To extort money, they were willing to harm others like this! Simply unforgivable!

At that moment, the sound of police sirens could be heard. Under the pallor of those people’s faces, a group of police and forensic experts entered.

"What’s going on? Who called the police?"

An Yiqing glanced at Nie Yuan and hid behind the crowd with Gu Yelin. Nie Yuan understood and stepped forward, "Officer, I was the one who called the police. These people tried to harm Xuanjin Hall, and I have enough evidence."

Speaking, he handed over the receipt and the medicine box to the police and briefly explained the ins and outs of the situation.

The seasoned police had seen it all, including these extortion tactics. On the spot, they detained the patients’ families and instructed the forensic experts to take the body back for an autopsy.

The patient’s families panicked and immediately began sobbing and wailing, clutching the body and refusing to let go, firmly opposing the autopsy.

Unexpectedly, the police informed them with a statement, "According to the Xuanjin Constitution, any body with an unclear cause of death can be forcibly autopsied. Folks, don’t struggle."

The group was completely stunned; they had no idea such a law existed. An Yiqing watched from behind the crowd, letting out a long sigh—ignorance of the law is truly terrifying!

The medical dispute ended triumphantly, and before leaving, the police said they would give Xuanjin Hall a response by tomorrow. However, everyone present had already figured out the truth and marveled at the fraudsters’ cunning. Meanwhile, they felt more assured about Xuanjin Hall’s medicines. Being able to sell genuine medicines so openly only showed Xuanjin Hall’s clear conscience.

Overall, not only did Xuanjin Hall preserve its reputation in this incident, but it also gained more fame.

Later, Nie Yuan asked An Yiqing how she knew the woman had a receipt in her bag. An Yiqing couldn’t say she had a clairvoyant eye, so she ambiguously replied that it was a speculation. Moreover, even without that receipt, once the forensic experts conducted an autopsy, all mysteries would be solved.

An Yiqing and Gu Yelin stayed until late before leaving; all afternoon, An Yiqing helped her fellow disciples with consultations. With her presence, the speed was much faster. This led to a strong request from the Medicine Sect disciples for An Yiqing to join the consultations, which she ruthlessly refused.

As if joking—a two-month stock of goods after leaving, yet still sitting in consultations?

After leaving Xuanjin Hall, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin visited the police station to identify themselves.

"So it’s Miss An and General Gu! Welcome, welcome!" The local precinct chief, upon hearing this, immediately came personally to greet them and inquired about their purpose.

After learning that An Yiqing wanted to see the patients’ families, he agreed without hesitation.

An Yiqing walked into the interrogation room, sat face-to-face with those people for a while. She didn’t say much and came out shortly after.

Amidst everyone’s confusion, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin left hand in hand, smiling.

On the way home.

"How did it go? What did you find out?"

An Yiqing lazily leaned back in the car seat, "Indeed, someone instructed them, but they only described him as a plain-looking man, and couldn’t provide specifics."

Just an ordinary extortion and fraud—at most, bringing the body to the hospital for a ruckus and demanding compensation. But today, these individuals brought out that medicine box, sparking An Yiqing’s suspicion.

The medicine box was identical to Xuanjin Hall’s, and when An Yiqing sniffed the pills inside, she admitted they weren’t much different. Just that a few ingredients would conflict with the old man’s condition; yet, typically, forensic experts and doctors would overlook this detail.

This led An Yiqing to realize these people were suspicious. Moreover, there was likely someone behind them giving orders. Otherwise, what kind of extortionists would go to such lengths to fake medicine boxes and make counterfeit drugs? Which extortionists wouldn’t just throw a tantrum and cry, dismissing evidence as nothing?

Earlier, she used hypnosis in the interrogation room with those people and found, indeed, someone was orchestrating them.

"Those people lack influence; it’s normal they don’t know the identity of the orchestrator. Their goal wasn’t to extort money but to ruin Xuanjin Hall’s reputation." Gu Yelin analyzed seriously.
