Since the establishment of the 'Revolutionary Army', there had been many cases of various sizes. Attempts to assassinate Zhou Qingfeng had happened from time to time. But this time, Old Man Sun's murder still shocked all the higher-ups of the 'Revolutionary Army', including Zhou Qingfeng.
After the incident, the entire city of Jinzhou was under martial law. All the personnel of the police department were on the streets, and the residents in the city were thoroughly checked. Heavily armed soldiers knocked, pried open, smashed open any closed door and rushed into each house to conduct a search. A large number of soldiers also left Jinzhou City on horseback, blocking all the roads connecting Jinzhou City to the outside world.
On the night of the incident, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Xu Bing, who was still waiting for the migration in Gaizhou, received a notice. Thus, Gaizhou immediately entered a state of high alert. At the same time, Xu Bing set off for Jinzhou City under the protection of a company of cavalry. Even the migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was carried out in advance.
Starting from Eherkulun, Old Man Sun gave Zhou Qingfeng a lot of convenience. After returning to Fushun, Xu Bing had not grown up yet, and the others also lacked management experience. Old Man Sun was Zhou Qingfeng's only right-hand man who could support the overall situation. It was he who supported Zhou Qingfeng's power during the month and a half when Zhou Qingfeng went to Onitsuka, so that he would not lose everything.
It was also that month and a half that caused great damage to Old Man Sun's spirit and body. After all, he was in his sixties, almost seventy. His body was not very good, and his energy was not enough. He could only gradually let go of his power during the process of evacuating Fushun. After Zhou Qingfeng seized the Liaodong Peninsula, Old Man Sun entered the stage of retirement, living in seclusion and rarely contacting outsiders.
In order to show respect to Old Man Sun, Zhou Qingfeng used the private residence of a high-ranking official in Jinzhou City for the old man to live in. The servants who took care of him were originally nurses in the hospital, and they had good medical experience. His residence was also guarded by special guards, and it was difficult for outsiders to get close.
Under such circumstances, Old Man Sun began to feel unwell after breakfast and began to vomit at ten in the morning. The caregiver immediately reported and called the doctor from the Jinzhou Imperial Guard over.
Other than the two transmigrator doctors, the Revolutionary Army did not have any fully qualified medical personnel. The doctors of the Imperial Guard were all indigenous doctors who had undergone short training. Their professional skills were not high, and they did not have suitable medicine.
The doctors of the Imperial Guard performed vomiting after making a preliminary judgment that it was poisoning. Unfortunately, Old Man Sun couldn't withstand the torment. Instead, he suffocated due to the vomit blocking his trachea. He couldn't be treated in time and died.
Zhou Qingfeng was furious!
After learning that it was food poisoning, he immediately ordered the arrest of everyone related to the incident. At the same time, she was worried about Li Shuwei, who was in contact with Fan Wan 'er. In the end, Li Shuwei was fine, but Fan Wan 'er was seriously injured. The one who died was an assassin.
The two transmigrator doctors who had just arrived at noon immediately took over the case. They first determined the cause of death of Old Man Sun, and then determined that it was arsenic poisoning, which was also arsenic. Then they began to investigate the source of the poison. They found traces of arsenic in the old man's breakfast bowl.
Because the Revolutionary Army practiced the principle of eating in the cafeteria in groups, the old man's breakfast was also from the cafeteria. The investigation immediately shifted from Old Man Sun's residence to the cafeteria, but there was nothing found in the cafeteria. All the cooking utensils were non-toxic and safe. The chef also followed Zhou Qingfeng since Fushun. There were hundreds of people eating breakfast that day. Except for Old Man Sun, everyone else was fine.
"Either the caregiver who took care of the old man had a problem, or the breakfast was poisoned in the process of being sent from the cafeteria to the old man's residence." This was the judgment of the Minister of Health, Yu Hongyang.
The caregiver and guards who took care of the old man had been investigated one by one. Everyone said that everything was normal at the time of the incident and denied that they poisoned the old man. The caregiver who went to the cafeteria to get breakfast cried and said, "We got our breakfast from the cafeteria with the old man. The old man ate the same as us, there was no difference. "
After Xu Bing rushed to Jinzhou, with her specialty as a criminal police officer, she immediately asked for a re-enactment of the scene. The caregiver who delivered the breakfast simulated the whole process of returning to the old man's residence and sharing the breakfast. In the end, it was found that the food was indeed the same, but the caregiver ate the caregiver's food, while the old man ate alone in his bedroom.
"Maybe someone sneaked in when the old man was eating, avoided everyone's sight, and poisoned the old man's breakfast." After making a preliminary judgment, Xu Bing checked the old man's house. Unfortunately, the check found nothing again. She stood in front of the bedroom window and looked outside. "If my guess is correct, then the person who did this is a veteran."
In the old man's bedroom, there were remnants of the old man's first vomiting after being poisoned. The tables and chairs on the ground were caused by the old man's painful cry for help. Arsenic poisoning would cause the victim's throat to burn, dry mouth, nausea, severe abdominal pain, and vomiting. Zhou Qingfeng stood at the scene with Xu Bing. He could imagine the chaos at the time of the incident.
Xu Bing walked to the window of the old man's bedroom again. Since this house was the former high-ranking official's private residence, the backyard was outside the window. When the incident happened, there was no one in the backyard. Xu Bing found a few vague footprints in the backyard's garden. She called all the caregivers and guards to verify and confirmed that the footprints were external.
"The assassin came in from the backyard and walked directly to the old man's window. This guy's goal is very clear. He didn't kill the guards or the caregivers, but only poisoned the old man's breakfast. This guy is very familiar with us, and is likely to be among us. I have to find out who has been asking about the situation of our 'Revolutionary Army' recently. The assassin should have joined recently. "
Xu Bing measured the stride length and size of the footprints, and also recorded the depth and wear of the footprints in detail. Since she couldn't find the plaster for a while, she could only use a pen to describe the footprints in detail.
"There's only one assassin, male, wearing cloth shoes, about 1.6 meters tall. He's between 30 and 35 years old, and he's on the thin side. "Through a few footprints, Xu Bing grasped many details of the assassin.
However, Zhou Qingfeng looked back and forth between the footprints and the old man's bedroom window. He asked, "Why did the assassin poison the food? Why didn't he just kill them? "
"If the assassin is really a White Lotus cult psychic, they especially like to cause panic to achieve their goals. Poisoning can easily make people feel insecure because everyone has to worry about the safety of the food they eat. This is much more vicious than killing people directly. " Xu Bing said, "When you found out that the old man was poisoned, your first reaction was to worry that more people would be poisoned, too?"
Since the Revolutionary Army's members were concentrated, they naturally chose to eat in the less troublesome collective cafeteria. It was also because of this that Zhou Qingfeng was very strict with the management of the cafeteria from beginning to end. In Hercules, he was worried that someone would poison or contaminate the food. After occupying the Liaodong Peninsula, the number of people expanded rapidly, and he paid more attention to the food safety of his own system.
Otherwise, forget about poisoning, an epidemic could paralyze the Revolutionary Army. He could not be careless about this matter.
After the preliminary investigation, Xu Bing, Zhou Qingfeng, and the others left the old man's residence. She lowered her voice and asked, "How's that Fan Wan 'er?"
"Fan Wan 'er had surgery. Old Yu said that she was seriously injured, and she's currently in a coma in intensive care. I've already sent people to protect her closely. Dog Meat is very vigilant, and they're specifically guarding her. " Zhou Qingfeng scolded fiercely. "I was careless. I always thought that those troublemakers were just clowns. I didn't expect them to be so bold!"
"The two cases should be done by the same group of people. They chose their targets very precisely, and they have been lurking for quite some time. Their modus operandi is also very particular. It should be the work of the White Lotus cult, a professional rebel group. "
Xu Bing comforted Zhou Qingfeng. "Don't blame yourself too much. We've done as much as possible to protect our important personnel and organizations. The enemy probably had no choice but to target Old Man Sun. Otherwise, they would've targeted you and me directly.
Don't worry, we definitely know more about the White Lotus cult than they know about us. It's a good opportunity for me to personally meet this deep-rooted and infamous cult and see how powerful their Ajati Matriarch is. We're experienced in dealing with this kind of cult. "
Zhou Qingfeng nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'll go get the roster right away and list all the people who meet the criteria for screening footprints for investigation."
"You better pay attention to this crime scene. Our enemy might come back to investigate. Also, where's the body of the assassin who tried to assassinate Li Shuwei? I'll take a look. If possible, activate Jinzhou City's defense system to monitor the situation. I believe we'll find something. "
Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing were burning with anger. They were thinking about how to find the monster hiding in the Revolutionary Army. Meanwhile, in Jinzhou City, a young man was walking around in the Revolutionary Army's cadre school. The man's skin was fair and clean, and he was thin and weak. He looked like he didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken.
There were many training institutions in the Revolutionary Army. Basically, every transmigrator was thinking of ways to train their own professionals. The cadre school was the focus of a bunch of newly built schools. It was built specifically to train the backbone of the Revolutionary Army.
Due to the major murder case in the city, the entire city was under martial law. Everyone in the school was not allowed to leave. Dozens of students were trapped in the county school in Jinzhou City. The young man tried to leave the school many times, but he was stopped by the soldiers on the street. He felt frustrated and returned to the school's dorm.
In the dorm, Sang Youshen's youngest son, Sang Quanlai, was reading hard. He was a key candidate for training, but his foundation was too weak. The more he studied, the harder it was for him. Seeing that he failed every exam, he was so anxious that he was burning the house.
Sang Quanlai was reading with a troubled expression. The young man smiled as soon as he entered the room. "Quanlai, you're working hard again. You can't study like this. Why don't you go out for a walk? "
Sang Quanlai shook his head. "The whole city is under martial law. I can't go out. I still have a few questions that I don't know. Why don't you help me? "
The young man complained deliberately. "Really, why is it under martial law? Isn't it just a person who died? It's a big deal. People don't die in this day and age. "
Sang Quanlai put down his book and said seriously, "It's said that the person who died is Old Man Sun. It's not the same. Our Sang clan has also received Old Man Sun's kindness in the past. If I find out who killed him, I will avenge Old Man Sun. "
The young man glanced at Sang Quanlai with disdain. He put on a lazy smile and said, "This person died mysteriously. How can we investigate? Daming Yamen's constable can't do anything. It's a pity that we haven't been able to go out for two days. We're bored to death. "
Sang Quanlai said with certainty, "Our Revolutionary Army's Young Marshal is not like others. He's not like those corrupt officials in the Ming Court. He'll definitely catch the murderer. When the time comes, we'll skin that bastard alive! "
