Chapter 669: Updating News at Any Time

Finishing the autopsy, Jiang Yuan took a shower at the autopsy center and changed into fresh clothes. He took a bottle of cola from the vending machine, sat on the balcony at the end of the corridor, and drank half the bottle in one breath.

At the edge of the horizon lay the flourishing cityscape of the capital. Jiang Yuan hadn't felt much about it before, but having received the legacy of Zhou Xiangyang this time, his perception was suddenly different.

No wonder everyone loves to flock to the capital; the legacy given in this place is just different!

Previously, the best legacy Jiang Yuan had obtained, if one were to count it, was probably the LV5 Dog Food. Its effect was indeed outstanding; if he were to open a pet shop, he would at least be at the level of a master of Chinese dogs.

But speaking of it, the LV5 Cryptography given by Comrade Zhou Xiangyang had too high a social value.

As for skills with extremely high social value, Jiang Yuan had previously obtained LV3 Image Enhancement, and only after completing a mission did he raise it by one level to become LV4.

But whether it was LV4 or LV3 Imaging, the gap with LV5 was immense.

If one could say that mastering LV3 Imaging could get one hired for a million-yuan annual salary position at some internet company, then LV5 Cryptography was about being the "daddy" of the field.

In fact, even on the campus of the University of Science and Technology, Zhou Xiangyang was a "daddy-level" existence.

That was not only in his own field, but within the entire scope of the university, his level was the highest. And as for his own professional field, it was also at a top-tier level nationwide.

The content covered by cryptography is also extremely broad; from the distant encrypted telegrams to the recent internet technologies like blockchain, they are basically all built upon cryptography. At the same time, its difficulty is also super high. LV5 Cryptography is something that perhaps only a handful of people nationwide have mastered.

It is not hard to imagine, if one were to reside in the capital and work at the autopsy center year-round...

"Jiang Yuan."

Tao Lu brought a few people to the autopsy center, went straight to the office, and asked upon meeting: "Is it homicide?"

"It could also be accidental ingestion, but it is definitely not caused by disease." Jiang Yuan was drinking soup and looking at photos in the office. Hearing this, he put down his spoon, pushed his chair, and sat to the side.

"Could it be some kind of drug?" Tao Lu asked.

Jiang Yuan had been looking at the scene photos and various reports for half a day. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and said: "I cannot rule out this possibility, but what exactly caused it depends on the results from the toxicology laboratory."

"How long will the results take?" This time, the person asking was the one behind Tao Lu.

Tao Lu coughed twice and said: "Forgot to introduce, this is our colleague from the National Security Detachment, Qi Changye, and also the colleague of Team Leader Qi."

He placed emphasis on the latter sentence.

National Security belongs to the police department's own family. Occasionally, when some work needs help, there will be contact. The county bureau also has National Security specialists, with independent offices and work content, who have more frequent contact with police officers from other teams.

As for the latter "colleague of Team Leader Qi," Tao Lu did not introduce in detail, and Jiang Yuan was too lazy to know. A colleague's colleague is simply not my colleague.

Jiang Yuan actually also knew that LV5 Cryptography was very strong. It was normal for a professor like Zhou Xiangyang to not only be involved in the civilian field.

However, the University of Science and Technology is not a military academy, and most of the work of its professors is oriented towards the civilian sector, including some horizontal projects Zhou Xiangyang is currently doing, which are also civilian projects searchable on the official website, mostly for development for internet companies or financial companies. And as for his students, nine out of ten also go to such companies, and the remaining one mostly finds a position at a university or research institute.

Jiang Yuan raised his head and said: "It will take several days to do all the toxicology, right? If it's just simple results, there should be one tomorrow. But that is estimated to be just routine poison detection, such as organophosphorus, organochlorine, tetramine, cyanide, etc."

Although "poisoning" sounds quite high-end, in the country, the poisons used for murder for many years have been the same old three: pesticides, arsenic, and tetramine.

After entering the new century, some higher learning institutions did bring new trends, such as the element "thallium," which can be considered to have been popularized to the whole country by Tsinghua students single-handedly, and can also be said to be one of the cases of Tsinghua's great development in social responsibility in the last twenty years.

Tao Lu naturally knew the process of poison detection Jiang Yuan mentioned. He hesitated for a moment and said: "If Professor Zhou died of poisoning, I am afraid it will not be simple poison-induced death."

Qi Changye, who was following him, nodded slightly.

Jiang Yuan said "I agree," and then waited for Tao Lu to continue.

He was an outsider here, so he would just listen to the leader. Emotional intelligence should be maximized when it needs to be.

Qi Changye turned his head to look at his colleague. After the few exchanged glances, Qi Changye turned back and said: "Let's continue the investigation first. There is no rush to hand it over. Even if we take over, we still have to wait for the toxicology test. In addition, we have also learned about the technical level of Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang Yuan. If possible, please let Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang preside over this case."

He spoke quite politely, but the content was not polite at all, directly arranging the work of the criminal police team.

Theoretically, Tao Lu could choose not to listen, but why bother?

Tao Lu smiled indifferently, turned his head and said: "Jiang Yuan, then just continue doing this case. If you have any problems, just find me, and I will coordinate with Team Leader Qi."

Qi Changye nodded and said: "Can do."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the colleague behind him.

"Notify us of any situation, update the news at any time." The unnamed colleague said a sentence at this time.

Qi Changye responded again, smiled at Jiang Yuan, and said in a good-natured way: "Team Leader Jiang, don't find it troublesome. It's actually just a normal process, but if you have any discoveries or evidence, just say so at any time. If you have photos or anything, send them to me too. After all, there is some information you don't have here, and I will compare it here. We can consider it information sharing."

Jiang Yuan agreed.

Qi Changye smiled and said: "Then that's it. If you have any other needs, such as technical aspects, instrument equipment, or manpower, you can bring them up."

"Speaking of this..." Seeing that the few were about to leave, Jiang Yuan stood up and stopped them.

Qi Changye's brows furrowed slightly, which flashed away, and he continued to smile: "You say it. As long as it is a reasonable request and helpful to the case, we will try our best to find a way..."

"Not this. I mean, if you want to update the news, I just looked at the photos for a while..." Jiang Yuan said, pointing to his computer, and said: "Shall I show it to everyone directly?"

"Uh... okay." The few followed to the desk where Jiang Yuan had just been sitting.

Jiang Yuan put the half-eaten abalone rice on the windowsill, and put the steaming bowl of green vegetables, honey-glazed sweet potatoes, crispy squab, two buns, two pieces of sushi, three shrimp, and four-color brine to the side, then opened the computer screen and said: "It's mainly here, everyone take a look."

In the photo, it was exactly the liquor cabinet in Zhou Xiangyang's house.

Like many elderly people, Zhou Xiangyang liked to display the famous wines he collected and had drunk on the shelves in the living room, but after a long time, it would also be messy, just like it was now.

"What are we looking at?" Qi Changye asked directly.

Jiang Yuan enlarged the photo a little and said: "On the side of this bottle of medicinal wine, does it look like there are water marks?"

"Hmm?" The few looked over, feeling very reluctant.

Qi Changye asked: "Are you sure it's water marks?"

Jiang Yuan nodded without much explanation, only saying: "The key is that, judging by the time of Zhou Xiangyang's death, he should not have been able to touch this bottle of medicinal wine."

"What's in the medicinal wine?" Qi Changye realized.

"Ginseng, photinia, and other medicinal materials. Also, look here, there is a piece of aconite." Jiang Yuan pointed with his finger and said: "Aconite is highly toxic, but after processing, the toxicity will be greatly reduced. Judging from the amount of this piece alone, it may not be fatal."

"But is it possible that someone put aconite in it again?" Qi Changye's logic had been straightened out.

Jiang Yuan said "Hmm" and said: "Zhou Xiangyang's death symptoms also match aconite poisoning. From the appearance, this bottle of medicinal wine is what Zhou Xiangyang often drinks. I also asked Team Leader Liu to ask the family and the nanny. In addition, the toxicology laboratory will also prioritize testing for aconite."

Qi Changye and the colleagues who were preparing to leave looked at each other and couldn't help but say: "So, the cause of death has been found?"

"It's just a suspicion. Now there is no conclusive evidence. It was you who said to update the news at any time, so I said it in advance." Jiang Yuan didn't want to be the kind of technician who almost knew the answer but stubbornly held it back and was finally killed by it.

As for Qi Changye and his colleagues, their facial expressions at this time were a bit unable to hold back. ===== CHAPTER 670 =====
