City’s Best Divine Doctor
Chapter 468 - 468 0469 No Clue

468: Chapter 0469: No Clue 468: Chapter 0469: No Clue Ye Qiu came to Jinling Hospital mainly to find clues about the poisoner, but he had just seen all the patients.

Including the hotel’s security guards, chefs, waitstaff, and administrators, he didn’t find anything suspicious.

Moreover, Ye Qiu could exclude these people as suspects.

As for continuing to treat these patients, Ye Qiu didn’t know them and had no connection to them; he had already exhausted a lot of Spiritual Energy earlier, so there was no need for him to use it again for their treatment.

Besides, Ye Qiu had clearly told Dr.

Liu that these patients were poisoned by Aconite.

If Dr.

Liu and the doctors at Jinling Hospital still couldn’t treat them, then he didn’t know what else to say.

As Ye Qiu was about to leave, Zhou Peng personally escorted him downstairs.

Ye Qiu said, “If the hotel manager returns, we should meet him.”

“Dr.

Ye, I will relay the message.”

Now Ye Qiu couldn’t figure out who was behind the poisoning.

Moreover, it was obvious; since many people knew about his new house party at that hotel, Ye Qiu realized that investigating from there would be difficult.

Now, he could only wait and see how the police investigation progressed.

…

Lu Xiuyu had just felt unwell at the hotel and suspected poisoning.

She immediately called the City Police Bureau.

Deputy Director Deng, upon learning that the Mayor’s wife was experiencing food poisoning at the banquet, took prompt action.

If it had been anyone else, the immediate response would have been to apprehend the event’s organizer and bring them back to the station for questioning.

But Director Deng didn’t do this because he knew it was unlikely that the event host or their own people had poisoned the food.

Moreover, he was aware that it was Dr.

Ye’s new house party, attended by the Mayor’s wife, the Mayor’s daughter, members of the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group, and the Xingyue Group, among others.

So, after Director Deng personally led officers to control and seal the scene at the four-star hotel, he initially intended to bring the hotel staff back for questioning.

Unexpectedly, all the staff exhibited similar poisoning symptoms, and they were severe.

He had the patients sent to Jinling Hospital for emergency treatment while he conducted a thorough investigation at the hotel with criminal investigators.

Besides reviewing surveillance footage, they also investigated the surrounding environment.

However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, the criminal investigators found no suspicious individuals entering the hotel’s kitchen or logistics areas.

Of course, since the food was purchased externally, the culprit could have tampered with the source.

Deputy Director Deng personally assigned people to trace this lead as well.

This poisoning incident involved many people, most of whom were treated by Dr.

Ye.

However, the fact remained that they had exhibited poisoning symptoms.

This was a serious collective poisoning incident.

Therefore, even if it weren’t for the Mayor’s wife, the City Police Bureau would still need to investigate quickly.

“Was Deputy Captain Zhao from the Jiangbei Branch also at the banquet?”

Deputy Director Deng asked.

“Director Deng, Captain Zhao did attend.

She and her sister were there, and she showed similar poisoning symptoms, but she was soon treated by Dr.

Ye.”

“Captain Zhao is the Deputy Captain of the Jiangbei Branch’s criminal investigation team, with rich experience in handling cases.

She recently earned a first-class merit.

Her capabilities should make her a suitable candidate to join this collective poisoning investigation.”

Deputy Director Deng said.

“Yes, Director Deng.”

…

Zhao Ruxue sat in Zhao Rubing’s car on the way back to the Jiangbei police district, thinking about who could have orchestrated the poisoning and how cruel it was to poison all the banquet guests.

However, she found herself more preoccupied with thoughts of Ye Qiu’s girlfriend, Liu Lingshow, and other beautiful women.

Like Li Qianqian, Shen Xingru, Han Xiaowan, Zhou Muling, and Liu Xia—she didn’t know them or had never met them, and she hadn’t realized that Ye Qiu knew so many beauties besides the two sisters.

“Sister, what are you thinking about?”

Zhao Rubing suddenly asked.

“Thinking…

thinking about the poisoning case, wondering who the culprit behind it is!”

Ruxue had initially wanted to curse Ye Qiu but caught herself.

“Sister, who do you think holds such a grudge against Ye Qiu?”

“I don’t know.

I realize I don’t understand anything about his situation.”

Even when Ye Qiu bought his house, she only found out after the purchase.

Besides, she and Ye Qiu were just ordinary friends; she couldn’t worry about his private matters even if she wanted to.

“That jerk, knowing so many beautiful women.”

Zhao Rubing said angrily.

Not only did Ye Qiu have an ambiguous relationship with her sister, but he had also taken advantage of her multiple times.

And now, at his housewarming, there were even more beauties.

This indicated that Ye Qiu’s attitude toward them was probably the same as toward other women.

Thinking this made Zhao Rubing furious.

Yet, recalling the kindness Ye Qiu had shown her before, Zhao Rubing became even angrier.

Zhao Ruxue glanced at her sister but didn’t say anything further, leaning back in the passenger seat to rest.

Of course, she was still amazed by Ye Qiu’s medical skills, having witnessed how he treated her menstrual cramps and removed the calluses from her hands and feet; she knew Ye Qiu’s skills were remarkable.

But she hadn’t anticipated he could cure dozens of poisoned guests so quietly and efficiently.

Thinking this, Zhao Ruxue suddenly realized that since Ye Qiu had cured those guests, he surely knew what kind of poison it was.

Zhao Ruxue took out her phone to call Ye Qiu, who had just left Jinling Hospital, and asked, “Ruxue, have you returned to Jiangbei?”

“We’re still on the road, Ye Qiu.

What kind of poison did we encounter just now?”

“According to mythology, it was Aconite Gu; in traditional Chinese medicine, it was Aconite poisoning.”

Aconite Gu?

Aconite poisoning?

Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s explanation, Zhao Ruxue understood and quickly hung up the phone.

She hurriedly searched for Aconite poisoning on her mobile phone and soon learned that Aconite’s toxicity was comparable to arsenic; just a few grams could be lethal.

In the mass poisoning they had experienced, the culprit must have used a significant amount of Aconite.

Since it was easy to poison dishes, meals, soups, and drinks with Aconite, Zhao Ruxue felt a chill.

If the person had only targeted Ye Qiu, that would have been one thing, but if they aimed at all the guests, that person was truly ruthless.

Given the presence of other affluent individuals, it was possible the real target was someone among them.

Regardless, this collective poisoning incident was severe, and Zhao Ruxue felt it was her responsibility to get to the bottom of it.
