Cicada Moving

Chapter 1250: There is no turning back when the bow is fired

When the sky was getting brighter, Zuo Zhong quickly walked into the yard where Yuan Chuyu's body was found. When he looked up, he saw Ling Sanping sitting next to the body and elegantly sipping a cup of coffee.

Zuo Zhong had seen a lot of dead people, but he still couldn't do this. He frowned imperceptibly: "Doctor Ling, what are the results of the autopsy?"

Ling Sanping wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, handed Zuo Zhong an autopsy record, then went to the body and opened the white cloth and began to report.

“The deceased, a male, had no obvious external trauma, his skin was light gray, his face was slightly bruised, and his nail bed was purple-blue.

The autopsy showed that there was a small amount of foamy secretions in the trachea, and the lung tissue was dark and edematous.

The appearance of the heart is normal, with no obvious lesions, and the blood color is dark red, which is a sign of poor coagulation.

His digestive system, especially the gastric mucosa, was highly congested and edematous, and both the small and large intestines were mildly inflamed.

At the same time, some of the brain tissue of the deceased was edematous, the liver was enlarged, and the renal tubular epithelial cells were necrotic. "

Zuo Zhong didn’t understand medicine, but there were so many abnormalities in the deceased’s digestive system, nervous system and internal organs. It was obvious that he was poisoned, so he quickly asked: “You mean the deceased died of poisoning?”

"good."

Ling Sanping picked up a tray with a pool of green liquid in it. He looked at Zuo Zhong: "We detected high concentrations of arsenate in the stomach of the deceased. This is a new type of poison. This is my first time in the laboratory. Seen outside.”

"Arsenate?"

Zuo Zhong read it several times. He had never heard of this substance in his previous life or in this era, so he asked Ling Sanping what the lethal dose of arsenate was.

"The lethal dose of arsenate depends on a variety of factors, including an individual's weight, health and mode of ingestion, but typically 200 milligrams of arsenate can cause death."

Ling Sanping paused for a moment before answering, and then gave a guess from a professional perspective: "The murderer may not have used such a large dose. The deceased's hands and feet were severely twisted, which proves that his death process was very painful and took a long time."

"The murderer is extracting a confession!"

Zuo Zhong immediately replied, if it was just to silence Yuan Chuyu, the murderer had many ways to kill Yuan Chuyu. There was no need to use poison, let alone 200 milligrams of poison that could kill.

For example, ricin and cyanide only require a small dose to cause death. It is impossible for the murderer to be so professional and not know this.

Ling Sanping nodded: "Yes, the murderer watched the deceased die. People with arsenate poisoning will feel a strong burning and acupuncture sensation, which is perfect for quickly extracting a confession."

Zuo Zhong guessed that it was at this time that Yuan Chuyu told the murderer the bank deposit receipt and the letter, and the murderer had no intention of letting him go from beginning to end.

He was thinking in his mind and said: "You should take the body back to Renxin Hospital first, and I will ask the parents of the deceased to identify the body."

Ling Sanping took off his gloves and shrugged: "No problem, hand over the murderer to me after the case is over. I want to study the toxicological effects of arsenate. Okay, I'll go back first."

Watching Shi Shiran leave Ling Sanping, Zuo Zhong's face turned dark. Before he could be caught, this guy had already made up his mind to capture him. He was really looking more and more like a Frankenstein.

"Deputy Chairman, the results of the indoor investigation have been obtained."

Wu Jingzhong suddenly appeared next to Zuo Zhong, his ability to take advantage of every opportunity was unsatisfactory.

"Let's go, talk as we go."

Zuo Zhong and Wu Jingzhong walked towards the bungalow one after another, and then Wu Jingzhong's unhurried voice sounded next to Zuo Chong's ears.

"Technicians found three blood stains and a rope in the basement, where the other party should have interrogated Yuan Chuyu."

"Have the neighbors heard anything?"

"No, the basement is very deep, and there are bluestone slabs around the walls, so the sound insulation is quite good."

"Are there any findings elsewhere in the room?"

"The scene was very clean. The murderer had cleaned up the scene and his methods were quite professional."

While the two were talking, they walked into the room on the right. Wu Jingzhong pointed to a moved cabinet in the corner: "Look, that is the entrance to the basement. There is a mechanism inside. The cabinet above can automatically reset after entering, making it very hidden."

Zuo Zhong walked around the closet and found that the entrance was at the back of the closet, about one meter in diameter, and could be accessed via a steel ladder.

Following the ladder, he went down to the basement. At the same time, he roughly estimated the depth of the passage, which was nearly 5 meters. This was no small project.

Not counting the underground space, 4 square meters of soil will be excavated for this passage alone. Moreover, this is a secret project, and the excavated soil needs to be taken out little by little. The enemy spent a lot of thought on this.

Stepping on the bluestone floor, Zuo Zhong saw Gu Qi and Gui Youguang standing there muttering something, and asked curiously.

"What did you find?"

"Vice-seat officer, you're here."

Gu Qi turned around to say hello and replied with a smile: "Youguang said that the murderer did not put the body in the basement, which means that the murderer only left temporarily and is likely to come back in the future. We are discussing whether to ambush."

Zuo Zhong looked at the big bald head in surprise. Is this a fool's plan? The murderer worked hard to get the body to the ground and dug a half-meter deep pit. There were indeed signs of using this place again, but even if it was an ambush, Yes, the other party is not that stupid. He looked down at the brown blood on the ground and quickly looked away. These were all invalid clues. Reality is not a movie or TV show. It is difficult for victims to leave the name of the murderer. The key to solving the case is people.

"Old Wu, tell me about Zhao Dayang's situation. Have any of the neighbors seen Yuan Chuyu?" Zuo Zhong asked.

"Okay, deputy seat."

Wu Jingzhong reported Zhao Dayang's file. The content came from the police station registration information. Of course, the name, place of origin, and social relations were all fabricated. Only height, weight, and fingerprints were of some value, especially the fingerprints.

After comparison by technicians, the fingerprints left on Zhao Dayang's file were consistent with the fingerprints extracted by the military commander on the tea bowl in the teahouse.

Although everyone knows that suspect No. 3 is Zhao Dayang, and the matter has been confirmed by witnesses, knowing and identifying is one thing, and whether there is evidence is another.

Intelligence work must not be sloppy. Once you develop the bad habit of messing up, you will one day have to make up for it with your life and blood.

After talking about the current findings, Wu Jingzhong began to report the results of the inquiries about his neighbors. According to the confessions of these people, they had never seen Yuan Chuyu or anyone else looking for Zhao Dayang.

The reason is very simple. Most of the residents in this residential area are outsiders who moved west with the country. They are not familiar with each other and rarely interact with each other. In addition, the house is a single-family house, so no one will deliberately observe their neighbors. who.

I'm afraid this is the reason why Zhao Dayang set his foothold here. If it is an area with a large number of locals, not to mention strangers, even an extra dog will not be able to hide it from the eyes of the neighbors.

Wu Jingzhong's report was over. Zuo Zhong was not used to the turbid air in the basement, so he called a few people back to the ground, found chairs in the living room, sat down, and continued to discuss the next step of the work.

"Old Wu, you should track down Zhao Dayang's whereabouts next. Fake identities are also useful. I don't believe that the other party only used this ID to rent a house."

Zuo Zhong first nodded to Wu Jingzhong's general. Everyone nodded silently to his words. Creating a perfect fake identity was expensive, and it was too luxurious just to rent a house. "Zhao Dayang" might have left other traces in the mountain city.

Thanks to the rampant Japanese spies and underground parties, you must register for everything you do in mountain cities today. When renting a house, lodging, working, taking a boat, or taking a car, you must provide documents. Regardless of whether this matter is strictly enforced, it is still a breakthrough.

Then, Zuo Zhong turned to Gu Qi with a smile: "Lao Gu, do you still remember what we said before? Whether the case can be solved may depend on this."

Gu Qi's mind turned quickly and he immediately understood the meaning of the words: "Do you want to mobilize the informants around Yuan Chuyu, such as the student named Fang Quan?"

Zuo Zhong did not confirm or deny, and further asked: "Do you think the informant has also been here? What would he do if he knew that this place was under investigation and we had clues about Zhao Dayang's espionage involvement? "

"Find a way to contact Zhao Dayang!" The three people present said in unison.

"Yes, he will contact Zhao Dayang, or maybe..."

Zuo Zhong only said half of what he said, and then he stood up and ordered: "Immediately release the news at Central University. I want all students to know that Yuan Chuyu's body has been found, and I also want them to know Zhao Dayang's name."

Gu Qi, Wu Jingzhong, and Gui Youguang looked solemn and fired their bows without turning back. Making the case public means that the enemy will also know that they have been exposed.

But the three of them did not object. The worst result of this would be that the enemy would escape and an exposed spy would run away.

This is indeed unfair to Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, but there is no such thing as fairness in the world. For the sake of the case, it is worth taking a gamble.

Moreover, the remaining enemies might be in for a surprise. You must know that the $20,000 is still in the account. The other party is extremely poor. Will he take the risk to withdraw money before escaping?

I don't know how many heroes have fallen for the words "stop after you finish this". Zuo Zhong felt that facing such a huge sum of money, Zhao Dayang and his accomplices must not be able to bear it!

………

In a private house on the outskirts of a mountain city.

Zhao Dayang, who Zuo Zhong was racking his brains to find, was sitting at the table with a man with a bandaged arm. The two looked at a pile of French currency on the table, their eyes slightly dull.

"Is this all the funds left?" Zhao Dayang couldn't believe it. How could the funds for an intelligence team's activities be gone in the blink of an eye?

The man looked resentful and slammed his fist on the table: "Am I going to deceive you? The headquarters gave us the legal currency of the Republic of China, but the legal currency is depreciating every day. If this continues, we will need to sell our blood to carry out the mission! "

Zhao Dayang still didn't believe it and tried to test it: "We performed the last mission very well. Where is the bounty promised by the headquarters?"

It was okay not to say this. When he said it, the man laughed angrily: "What bounty? The order only said that it is not easy for us to be considerate of the country. Our parents will be proud of us."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

The conversation between Zhao Dayang and the man came to an abrupt end. The two looked at each other and fell into silence, and then said two words almost at the same time.

"Dollar?"

After a few seconds, the man shook his head: "The enemies encountered by the river are probably military commanders. The letter sent by Yuan Chuyu has not been found. It is temporarily inconvenient for you and me to move."

Helpless Zhao Dayang lowered his head, and a treacherous thought emerged. Who were they doing everything for?
