Chapter 346

The two people related to Chen Yongren have all died.

Could it be that he intends to deliberately create chaos, letting his own people fake their deaths to escape?

Tengyuan Jintai frowned, called the hospital, and summoned the doctor who had conducted the examination at that time.

Soon, the doctor who had been in charge of the examination came to Tengyuan Jintai's office.

"When you examined them, were you sure that everyone who had been poisoned at that time was dead?" Tengyuan Jintai said.

"Certain." The doctor bowed and said: "The poison tested positive for aconitine, and the victims' symptoms match aconitine poisoning. Major His Excellency, why are you asking this?"

"Is there any drug in the world that can make someone appear dead?" Tengyuan Jintai asked directly: "It only looks like death, but the person is actually not dead?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor was startled, shook his head: "No, at least I have never heard of such a thing."

Tengyuan Jintai frowned.

Suddenly.

He

He thought of a possibility.

What if they weren't dead, just pretending to be poisoned, and Chen Yongren took the opportunity to take them away?

Tengyuan Jintai immediately called Chen Yongren.

Soon.

The call was connected.

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Fujiwara Kinta asked, "Chen Sang, where are the bodies of Hua Lei and Zhang Haifeng? The hospital said some things, and it still needs further examination."

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Tengyuan Jintai asked: "Chen Sang, where are the bodies of Hua Lei and Zhang Haifeng? The hospital said something, and we need to check again."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to them."

"Bodies?" Chen Yongren said: "I have already cremated them just now, preparing to bury them tomorrow morning at the Ten Thousand Nations Public Cemetery."

"What, cremated?" Tengyuan Jintai was dumbfounded.

Fujiwara Kinta hung up the phone, feeling increasingly that something was wrong, and immediately arranged for personnel to monitor Chen Yongren from the periphery.

Tengyuan Jintai hung up the phone, feeling more and more that something was wrong, and immediately arranged personnel to monitor Chen Yongren from the outside.

After a night of surveillance with nothing found, early the next morning, the old devil went to the Ten Thousand Nations Public Cemetery.

Those buried here are either rich or noble, with few people interred here; Tengyuan Jintai quickly located Chen Yongren.

The urns of Hua Lei and Zhang Haifeng have already been placed in the cemetery, and the staff are sealing the tops.

Chen Yongren, dressed all in black, with a solemn expression, gazed at the two tombstones.

"Chen Sang." Tengyuan Jintai stepped forward quickly.

Hearing the voice nearby, Chen Yongren quickly composed his expression, feigning surprise: "Major Tengyuan, how did you come here?"

"We believe in resting in peace after burial; this place has the best feng shui, but I can't afford a large cemetery, so I can only cremate them and bury them in a small plot, at least someone will guard it." Chen Yongren said with a sorrowful tone.

Regarding these matters, Chen Yongren had already prepared his explanations.

Fujiwara Chota took a deep breath, patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Chen Sang, the more like this, the stronger you must be; you must absolutely not let the enemy see us as a joke!"

"Pull yourself together and catch all those bastards!"

"Director Fujiwara, I understand." Chen Yongren bowed his head.

Fujiwara Chota probed: "Chen Sang, don't you think this is too strange? How exactly did the enemy sneak into the banquet hall to poison?"

In this old devil's view, the banquet's defense plan is flawless—not even a fly could get in.

Yet, despite that, a major mess still occurred.

If something goes wrong, it must be either internal or the fault of the person who devised the plan!

Chen Yongren shook his head: "This isn't really strange; after thinking it over, I realize our defense wasn't actually perfect."

Upon hearing that, Fujiwara Chota feigned surprise and asked: "Could it be that you've discovered something?"

Chen Yongren nodded: "According to the doctors' test results, they likely suffered food poisoning."

"So what's your deduction?" Fujiwara Chota pondered a moment: "Do you suspect someone poisoned the back kitchen?"

"Yes, and no." Chen Yongren said.

Fujiwara Chota was baffled.

Chen Yongren said: "The outside world has long known we are about to hold a consolation meeting; the weasels certainly wouldn't fail to prepare in advance."

"But as long as he's not stupid, he'll surely realize that conventional routes cannot enter the banquet hall; if he tries a forced assault, he'll only get trapped in the encirclement and unable to escape, ultimately causing the mission to fail."

"So what?" Fujiwara Chota pressed.

"Food supplies!" Chen Yongren shouted: "We only focused on defending the banquet hall, yet we unconsciously overlooked a minor detail."

"Before the banquet begins, we need to purchase large quantities of food supplies; the enemy could easily tamper with these foods!"

"If luck is good enough, we can always poison a batch of people; even just one or two could affect the prestige of the new government."

"Looking at it now, their luck is indeed good…"

Fujiwara Chota instantly understood Chen Yongren's meaning.

The banquet hall was heavily guarded.

But the places where they purchased food were all vegetable markets.

Although there were dedicated personnel supplying the food and guarding the warehouse, the effort certainly could not match the defense level of the banquet hall.

Trained agents could completely infiltrate silently to poison and then leave without a trace.

"Damn it!" Fujiwara Chota couldn't help but curse.

If that were true, the weasels wouldn't need to risk infiltrating; they just needed to poison the food and wait patiently outside for the final result.

"Major His Excellency, this matter is my negligence." Chen Yongren bowed his head: "If I had considered things more thoroughly, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way…"

Saying this, Chen Yongren looked toward the two flames not far away, his expression growing ever more sorrowful: "Hua Lei and Haifeng also won't…"

「Even if this is the case, we cannot rule out the insider problem. 」

「Everyone who attended the banquet also had a chance to poison; we must thoroughly screen all survivors to eliminate every possibility. 」

Zuoteng Xiongjie, who was verifying Chen Yongren, also died.

Once Tengyuan Jintai gradually comes to his senses, even if deep down he still believes Chen Yongren, his heart will also start to suspect.

Chen Yongren understood clearly.

To clear suspicion, one must inevitably first place oneself in danger, then gradually clear one's name.

The corpses are gone, and Tengyuan Jintai couldn't say much more; he could only urge Chen Yongren to rest well at home these days.

Chen Yongren directly refused, his expression solemn: "The killers of Hua Lei and Haifeng haven't been caught yet; how could I possibly rest easily?"

「Once I finish these matters, the day after tomorrow I will return to work normally, drag out all those damned bastards, and make them regret their actions! 」

「Director Tengyuan, rest assured, I will not let hatred affect my judgment. 」

「Good, I look forward to your performance. 」 Tengyuan Jintai said in a low voice.

He then brought people away from the cemetery, returned to his office, sat in his chair, and his gaze fell upon a list of names.

The name column read: Lin Ke Xin.

After pondering for a long time, Tengyuan Jintai picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said: 「Immediately have Lin Ke Xin come to the office to see me! 」

Lin Ke Xin is an elite urgently transferred from the Gold Hill side.

Her main task is to investigate the weasel.

Although this woman is young, her abilities are extraordinary.

By breaking the Military Statistics Bureau's radio station and obtaining their codebook, she destroyed their espionage network lurking in Gold Hill, thereby gaining fame in one battle.

Thereafter, she repeatedly captured multiple Central Statistics Bureau agents, thwarting the bureau's multiple assassination attempts against the Gold Hill government.

In Gold Hill, this woman has already become a prominent figure.

Not long after.

A knocking sound rang out~

「Dang dang dang~」
