Donald Lance looked at Doris Young with a serious expression and asked, “Ms. Young, can you help us remember if your father had any enemies? Have there been any economic disputes with anyone?”


    Doris Young shook her head and replied, “My father has spent many years teaching and helping others. He’s always been supportive in his work, and he has never had any conflicts with anyone.”


    Donald Lance pressed on, “Has your father eaten anything unusual recently? Any strange food or anything out of the ordinary?”


    Doris Young shook her head again, saying, “No, everything was normal before he fell ill.”


    “Do you and your father live together?” Donald Lance inquired.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Doris Young nodded affirmatively, “Yes, we live together.”


    “Who else lives with you besides you and your father?” Donald Lance asked next.


    Doris Young replied, “My mother is also with us. We are a family of three.”


    “Got it,” Donald Lance said, pausing briefly before continuing, “Is there a nanny or any part-time help in the household?”


    “What about you and your mother? Any issues?” Donald Lance asked.


    Doris Young shook her head again, “No, we’re fine.”


    “Since you and your mother live together without any problems, we can reasonably conclude that the food or water at home isn’t the issue,” Donald Lance remarked.


    He then probed further, “Ms. Young, please think carefully. Before your father showed any signs of illness, did he go out to eat by himself or with friends?”


    Doris Young pondered for a moment and answered seriously, “No, he hadn’t gone out. During the winter vacation, he was mostly reading at home and didn’t socialize with anyone outside.”


    Donald Lance frowned, “This is indeed puzzling. The test results indicate that your father has a significant amount of mercury dichloride in his system. This highly toxic substance can enter the body through ingestion, inhtion, or even skin absorption.”<fnbca2> The source of th?s content is FιndNovel</fnbca2>


    “However, our experts believe that such a high level of toxicity would generally take a long time to umte through skin absorption alone. The most likely routes are ingestion or inhtion. Given what you’ve said, it seems improbable that he was poisoned through food or water at home, especially since he hadn’t been out to eat with others,” he continued.


    “So, figuring out the source of the poison may be moreplicated than we initially thought!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong></p“no,”>
