Chapter 532: Chapter 534: Find the Poisoner_1

Within Ping County, workers from the Qin Bao household were gradually arriving.

The Wang family, who supplied them with wood, had also arrived.

Song Cheng arranged them in two rows in the courtyard and let Qin Bao count them. Qin Bao recounted twice before finally saying, "Sir, Li Yiguang, who was in charge of final packing, has not arrived."

"Where does this Li Yiguang live? Why doesn’t he come?" Song Cheng asked.

"Sir, since our workshop does not provide accommodation for the workers, most of them live outside. Li Yiguang lives a bit far, so I am not sure...."

"Summon him!" Song Cheng ordered.

Another quarter of an hour later, the two officials in charge of notifying Li Yiguang returned, but without bringing Li Yiguang back.

"Sir, Li Yiguang’s family says that he went to the Casino in the city early this morning and had not come back yet."

Song Cheng sent one of them to stand guard at Li Yiguang’s house and the other two to search him in the city. He then began interrogating the current group of people in the courtyard.

The purpose of this interrogation is twofold: one is to find out whether the source of the poison actually comes from Qin Bao and two is to find the person who poisoned.

Since only the goods from Nan Feng have been poisoned and the other boxes made here at Qin Bao’s are not, it cannot be confirmed whether the poison came from here yet.

So, they have to find the one who poisoned and interrogate, only then they will know the exact process of the poisoning.

Song Cheng is meticulous when carrying out investigations. After gradually eliminating all suspects, only Qin Bao and Li Yiguang were left.

Qin Bao repeatedly assured everyone that he was not the poisoner. Spikenard Square has commissioned him to produce many boxes in this past year, bringing lucrative economic benefits. He would absolutely not jeopardize this path to wealth, even if someone forced him into it.

If not Qin Bao, then it must be Li Yiguang!

By nightfall, the individuals who were dispatched to find Li Yiguang in the city returned empty-handed, as did the officials posted at Li Yiguang’s house. Li Yiguang had not returned.

Ye Ge looked at Song Cheng. "Sir, it is getting late. Why don’t you return to Provincial City first? I will stand guard here in wait for Li Yiguang. As soon as he returns, I will immediately apprehend him for interrogation."

Song Cheng thought this was acceptable.

...

The sky had fully darkened. A figure stopped at Li Yiguang’s residence, a dilapidated house on the outskirts, where one could faintly hear the voices of a woman and children.

The figure kicked the door open. The children and woman inside were startled by the sound and immediately screamed upon seeing a man of ugly and dark appearance suddenly bursting in.

Ye Ge pulled out the knife in his hand, slowly placed it against the woman’s neck, and demanded, "Speak up! Just where exactly did your husband go?"

"I don’t - I don’t know! My husband loves, loves to gamble. Sometimes if he loses, he won’t...won’t come home. I really don’t - don’t know..." The woman was so scared she was stammering, and the children beside her were crying bitterly.

Ye Ge shifted the knife from the woman’s neck to point at one of the children’s neck: "Is it real that you don’t know, or are you faking it? If you dare to lie, I will instantly let this child’s head fall to the ground!"

Women love their children. She immediately knelt down, swearing, "I swear, if I know where he went, I’d be struck dead by lightning right now. Please, don’t hurt my child. I beg you!"

Yie Ge withdrew his knife, quickly exited, and continued on his pursuit.
