"Dead?! Really dead?" Xia Shige asked in surprise, "How did he die?"
Tan Zhen replied, "He died last night. He committed suicide by taking poison."
"Taking poison?" Xia Shige was even more surprised: "Wasn't he detained in the detention center?"
How could the police in the detention center allow him to commit suicide by taking poison? Where did he get the poison?
Tan Zhen wiped his face tiredly and said with a frustrated look: "...Actually, this matter is mainly my fault...It was Qi who let the cat out of the bag..."
Under Xia Shige's shocked and puzzled gaze, Tan Zhen sighed and carefully explained the consequences of the previous incident.
Later, ever since Jiang Yanhai was put into the detention center, he knew he could not refute the solid evidence in the hands of the police, so he refused to say anything during the police interrogation.
But last night, when Officer Tan Zhen was interrogating him, he accidentally let slip that the special medicine developed by Professor Wu Peiyi against the zombie virus was almost successful.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yanhai, who had always been calm, suddenly lost control of his emotions. In front of the police, he started yelling like a madman.
While shouting "That is not a zombie virus, it is a great fruit that can change the world", he cursed Wu Peiyi as a "mediocrity and a sinner who hinders human progress."
At the end of the scolding, he suddenly started crying and laughing. Finally, he took advantage of the police's inattention and bit off the poison that he had hidden in his mouth.
The poison took effect very quickly. It seemed to be a new product developed by Jiang Yanhai's laboratory that had never been seen on the market. In short, Jiang Yanhai died in just a few minutes, and was already dead when he was sent to the hospital.
"He hid the poison deep enough that he made a hole in the back teeth. We didn't even find it when we checked..." Tan Zhen scratched his hair as he spoke, looking desperate, "Because of this, I was asked to suspend my work and reflect on my actions..."
After hearing this, Xia Shige sighed in her heart. Jiang Yanhai had been engaged in scientific research for his entire life, but had made no achievements. The only thing he had done was to kill himself with the poison he had developed...
After Tan Zhen finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Xia Shige and said expectantly, "By the way, I heard that Director Xia and Director Zhou are about to get married. Can you talk to Director Xia for me and ask her to say a good word for Director Zhou... But please don't leave this matter in my file! I want to be promoted this year!"
Xia Shige: “…”
Xia Shige was a little speechless, and corrected unhappily: "We won't get the marriage certificate so soon, we're just talking... maybe we'll break up before we get the marriage certificate!"
"Ah?!" Tan Zhen was shocked when he heard that. He thought, Director Zhou had a vasectomy when he was hospitalized last time. How could Director Xia just break up with him like that?
Tan Zhen was about to ask Xia Shige about this when Xia Huimeng, who had been silent, suddenly burst into laughter:
“Hahahaha! …Haha! …He’s dead! He’s dead! …Hahahaha! …”
Upon seeing this, Xia Shige quickly stepped forward and hugged Xia Huimeng, and asked with concern: "Aunt! Are you okay..."
Xia Huimeng just stared blankly ahead, saying over and over, "Dead is good... He's finally dead... That devil is finally dead..."
Then, like a bird locked in the abyss that finally broke free from its shackles, Xia Huimeng suddenly covered her face and burst into tears...
