Chapter 1415: Chapter 1464: Clues

Song Ranmin dared to curse him because he knew that Yue Yonggui was going to be unlucky. The woman died due to severe injuries, which is understandable, but the male bandit caught also died, which seemed suspicious. When he called Li Yifei, his reaction was so calm that Song Ranmin became even more convinced that Yue Yonggui was in trouble.

The scene had already been locked down, with direct orders from the top leader of the provincial committee. No one dared to disobey. Director Zhao Zifeng of the Provincial Department arrived at the scene and immediately started cursing at Yue Yonggui, leaving him utterly humiliated. After venting his anger, he had Yue Yonggui restrained.

Li Yifei, accompanied by Xu Shanshan and Lin Qiong, arrived at the hospital and met Song Ranmin. He briefly reported that they had already gathered some information here!

"Both the female and male bandit had a certain toxin in their bodies, which led to their swift deaths in a short time. However, each room had people on duty, and entering was not easy. During this period, ten people, including doctors, nurses, and city police officers, were involved. There were four police officers and six medical staff, but a preliminary investigation showed that when doctors and nurses entered, there was always a third person present. Similarly, none of the city police officers entered the room alone."

Upon arrival, Song Ranmin briefly outlined the case, and Li Yifei nodded in agreement before Song Ranmin continued, "The curious part is that the times of their deaths are roughly the same. In other words, around that time, someone entered both rooms and killed the two with poison."

"The windows of both rooms have been examined, showing no signs of being opened, and they’re locked from the inside. Additionally, the rooms lack ventilation facilities, making it extremely difficult to enter both rooms in a short time. None of the individuals investigated fit the timeframe for committing the crime. So we’re facing a dilemma."

Lin Qiong responded, "Could it be a collaborative crime? That would make it easier. No one entered the rooms alone, but as long as two people cooperated, it would become incredibly easy."

Song Ranmin gave a bitter smile and said, "I’ve considered that possibility, but unfortunately, preliminary checks haven’t found any contact among them."

"What about the medication?" Xu Shanshan asked.

"The medications administered to both were fine; no residue of toxins was found in the bottles. Moreover, the doctors and nurses have long been associated with this hospital, the doctors for over twenty years, and the nurses for more than ten. As for the police officers, they are all veterans, having served for over ten years..."

Li Yifei frowned and interrupted Song Ranmin, saying, "Director Song, let’s visit the scene, perhaps a highly skilled professional infiltrated without detection. Such masters are difficult for ordinary people to notice."

"Alright, let’s go!" Song Ranmin nodded, leading the way while adding, "By the way, Yue Yonggui has been restrained, and Director Zhao Zifeng leads the city’s efforts."

Li Yifei acknowledged with a sound and entered the hospital, seeing Zhao Zifeng. Zhao Zifeng also noticed Li Yifei; although they hadn’t met before, they were aware of each other.

Regarding Li Yifei from Mile City, Zhao Zifeng neither liked nor disliked him. This man was highly capable but too adept at stirring trouble—almost like a troublemaker.

However, Zhao Zifeng had to provide an explanation to Li Yifei at this moment, so he proactively approached and extended his hand.

Li Yifei, not holding himself in, shook hands with Zhao Zifeng and smiled slightly. He took the initiative to say, "I apologize for the trouble, Director Zhao."

Zhao Zifeng smiled as well, shook his head, but his smile quickly faded, turning serious as he said, "The case is under investigation, and the top leader’s stance is whoever is found responsible will face severe punishment."

Li Yifei spoke with a slightly relaxed tone, "It may not be as serious as that; perhaps their deaths were just accidents."

While speaking, he walked inside and saw Yue Yonggui. At this moment, Yue Yonggui had lost his previous arrogance, sitting on a bench, clutching his head in pain.

Li Yifei didn’t follow Song Ranmin’s lead of harshly scolding but instead went directly to the male bandit’s room. The body was still there, not moved, and several old detectives were investigating the scene. Upon seeing Li Yifei enter, they hesitated, wanting to expel him but refrained upon seeing Zhao Zifeng follow in, realizing Li Yifei wasn’t an ordinary person.

Li Yifei first observed the room’s surroundings. It was the fourth floor, and the hospital also served as a joint venture for the police’s investigations, where similar suspect medical needs have always been sent. This evening, the entire floor had very few patients.

Lin Qiong and Xu Shanshan also entered, and like Li Yifei, began surveying the surroundings. After observing thoroughly, they frowned; the deaths of the two were mysterious, but how they died remained a very puzzling question.

Zhao Zifeng signaled some investigators to cooperate with Li Yifei and his group, and after staying for a while, he left the room.

The deceased had no extra needle marks on him, only a few injection sites from the IV, and the medicine bottles used for infusion were tested negative for toxic substances.

"Air?" Li Yifei’s eyes twitched. He walked to the window, carefully inspecting it. After a while, he opened a window, climbed onto the sill, grabbed the window frame, and squeezed out.

The detectives didn’t dare stop him, watching Li Yifei leave.

Two minutes later, Li Yifei came out from another room and directly told the two detectives, "Each of the two windows has two tiny holes, not much larger than a needle, and the perpetrator likely used them to inject poison gas into the rooms."

"This..." Two criminal investigators quickly went to the window to check, and sure enough, at the position Li Yifei mentioned, they found two holes and sent someone downstairs to investigate, discovering a syringe. However, it was still hard for them to believe, as it was the fourth floor outside, without any places to climb. At most, there was an outer window ledge; but how did the perpetrator get down?

Li Yifei pointed above and said, "You can’t get up from below, but you can from above."

Everyone was suddenly enlightened. Lin Qiong immediately grabbed her gun and led a few Mile City police officers to the rooftop.

This building had a total of five floors. When Lin Qiong and her team came up, they indeed found a rope above the corresponding ward and the place where it was tied.

Returning quickly, Lin Qiong ordered to check the surveillance footage from the hospital. Each floor had bidirectional surveillance, almost covering every angle, and the door from the fifth floor to the rooftop was usually unopened, and there was surveillance here too.

A few minutes later, the surveillance video indeed showed a suspicious figure lingering on the fifth floor for two minutes. When no one was around, he opened the door leading to the rooftop from the fifth floor, and five minutes later, he came down from the roof.

The person seemed to lack good caution; the video captured several frontal images. Lin Qiong was the first to exclude some possibilities, and someone recognized the person as a police officer from the provincial city police.

Zhao Zifeng received this information, his eyelid twitched, and he immediately instructed to find that officer, as the opponent was also involved in tonight’s case, yet now was missing.

Half an hour later, a policeman named Zheng Dakai was caught, and he was that sneaky officer who climbed onto the rooftop.

After being caught, this person became somewhat hysterical, shouting that it wasn’t his fault, and that he wasn’t the one who did it.

The person was brought to Li Yifei and Zhao Zifeng, and after a few interrogations, Zheng Dakai still kept evading!

Zheng Dakai argued, "I just urgently needed to pee, but the toilet had someone else, so I couldn’t hold it and went upstairs!"

Lin Qiong snorted coldly, "With the time to open that door, couldn’t you have gone to a toilet on another floor? Besides, there are no traces of discharge on the rooftop. Don’t tell me you peed from the rooftop downwards."

Zheng Dakai nodded hastily, "Ah, yes, yes, I peed downwards..."

Lin Qiong, furious, was about to kick Zheng Dakai, but Li Yifei stopped her and glanced at Zhao Zifeng. Zhao Zifeng walked over to look at Zheng Dakai and said, "Zheng Dakai, everyone knows what you’ve done. You can’t deny it. It’s best to tell now who instructed you!"

The internal traitor among the police made Zhao Zifeng feel ashamed. He wished he could kick this Zheng Dakai to death, but he couldn’t; this case had new clues, and he had to seize it, otherwise he’d end up like Yue Yonggui, facing consequences.

Under Zhao Zifeng’s pressure, Zheng Dakai finally broke down and confessed. He was the one who used toxic gas to kill two people, and he was instructed by Wang Xiaobo!

Wang Xiaobo? Hearing this name, Zhao Zifeng couldn’t help but smile involuntarily.

Despite all calculations, he never thought it would be Wang Xiaobo, who was another Deputy Director at the Provincial Department, as well as Zhao Zifeng’s subordinate. Although they belonged to different divisions, Wang Xiaobo usually seemed obedient. How could he do such a thing? Zhao Zifeng instinctively looked at Li Yifei.

Upon hearing this name, Li Yifei couldn’t help but snort coldly, and Lin Qiong clenched her fists, wishing she could catch Wang Xiaobo and give him a good beating right now.

Seeing Zhao Zifeng’s confusion, Li Yifei proactively said, "Wang Xiaobo once helped the Sunx Family to cause trouble for me in Mile City."

Sunx Family, Wang Xiaobo? Zhao Zifeng blinked, seeming to finally piece together some of the relationships.

Quickly report the matter to the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who hadn’t rested, just waiting for the news from here.

Upon hearing that Wang Xiaobo instructed someone to kill the two suspects, the First Secretary’s heart skipped a beat but still promptly issued orders, contacting the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary to let go of cooperation and go find Wang Xiaobo.

Meanwhile, Li Yifei didn’t say much. He exchanged a glance with Xu Shanshan, both feeling a sense of conspiracy. Lin Qiong also looked over, and the expressions of the two women were somewhat grim.

As the three walked out, Xu Shanshan immediately said angrily, "Wang Xiaobo is Sunx Family’s person; the bodyguard killed by the sniper is also Sunx Family’s person. Going around in circles, it’s still the Sunx Family making trouble."
