Chapter 111 Who is the murderer?
As soon as Ji Cunxi realized that she had swallowed the candy, he crouched down and ran quickly to the other side of the camp.
Ji Cunxi was still frightened after seeing Qin Nanya's reaction after being poisoned.
This poison was the one that the immortal god Rong Xian had smeared on his father's sword without anyone noticing during the life-and-death battle. His father lost consciousness at the time and stabbed the sword into his dantian.
Fortunately, the antidote pill his father gave him before the decisive battle suppressed the onset of the poison. After the sickle-shaped knife absorbed the essence of life, it forced out most of the toxins in the process of repairing the wound on his dantian.
Those colorful particles on the candy are the crystals of these toxins.
Rong Xianxian, aren’t you good at using poison?
You are responsible for this life.
He had just finished dinner early. He was on guard duty today and it was time for the handover.
"Cunxi, this way." A soldier who was looking around saw him and called out.
"You're five minutes late." The soldier seemed to have a good relationship with him and complained with a smile.
"My stomach felt uncomfortable and I was delayed for a few minutes. You have to keep it a secret from me!" Ji Cunxi said with a wry smile, rubbing his stomach with one hand.
"Of course, but how do you feel now? Do you need a leave?" The soldier looked at him with some concern.
"No need, I'm much better now. Dinner is almost ready, go and eat!" Ji Cunxi felt warm in his heart when he saw the concern in the soldier's eyes.
The sentry post he was on duty today covered the area of bushes where he had just committed the crime.
The time he committed the crime just now happened to be when the soldiers were off duty and were waiting for him to take over. It seemed that the soldiers did not notice his previous whereabouts.
By this time, it was completely dark and the army had already started eating.
Qin Nanya's cousin Fan Siping was frowning, obviously unhappy. Ever since new people were recruited from the civilian team, the army's meals had become wild vegetables and fruits. Today, they killed two huge monsters on the road, and those soldiers all had meat to eat, but he only got a little broth.
Unconvinced, Fan Siping went to the chief of staff's tent to seek an explanation, but was stopped and unable to enter. They were only told that they were not cultivators and could not withstand the spiritual energy in the monster's flesh.
Fan Siping was so angry that he didn't notice that Qin Nanya hadn't come back for dinner yet.
After the whole family had eaten and drunk their fill, Fan Siping's wife said slowly, "Qingqing, have you seen your cousin?"
Only then did Fan Siping realize that Qin Nanya did not come back for dinner. He glared at Mrs. Fan in dissatisfaction. He knew in his heart that Mrs. Fan must have discovered it a long time ago but just didn't say anything. There was one less person eating and one less person snatching the delicious food. Anyway, it was just an outsider who was eating the leftovers.
Fan Siping couldn't blame her. After all, Qin Nanya was an adult. It was not right for her not to come back at dinner time and let everyone wait for her.
But at this time, it was already late outside, why was she still nowhere to be seen?
Fan Siping felt something was wrong, so he asked his son to ask the soldiers to help look for it.
Mrs. Fan curled her lips and reached out to stop her son from getting up. "Old Fan, Nan Ya is thinking... If you make a big fuss about it, what if she is in the middle of a romantic relationship with someone? Be careful not to ruin her plans."
Fan Siping was choked by Mrs. Fan and was speechless.
Qin Nanya is the daughter of Fan Siping's cousin. Mrs. Fan has never had a good impression of her, and even Fan Siping's youngest daughter, Fan Qingqing, often bullies her cousin.
After hearing what Mrs. Fan said, Fan Siping turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked out of their tent.
He still listened to what Mrs. Fan said, but did not say anything. He walked around the camp with his hands behind his back, searching.
Fan Siping walked around the camp, attracting many dissatisfied looks. After all, everyone had been traveling hard, and except for the guards, everyone wanted to have a good rest. So what were you, an old man, snooping around about?
Qin Nanya was still nowhere to be found, and Fan Siping could not help but feel anxious. Mrs. Fan was a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and she could not stand his closeness to Qin Nanya. However, she did not know that Qin Nanya's brother Qin Nanmin was a small officer in the Beijing Military District. Now military control was implemented everywhere, and maybe that guy had some power in his hands. He could take Qin Nanya to the capital to find Qin Nanmin. As an elder, the guy would have to be polite to him by then.
His wife and children didn't know why he was protected by the army, and they really thought he was very capable. But he knew his own business. Once he arrived in the capital and entered the research institute, if his true identity was exposed, he would probably be kicked out immediately.
By then, he might even have to rely on Qin Nanmin's protection.
How could Fan Siping not be anxious when he found out that Qin Nanya was missing?
Fan Siping returned to his tent, but still did not find Qin Nanya. He ran to Wen Qingming's tent with a gloomy face and asked the army to help find his missing cousin.
After hearing the report from the orderly, Wen Qingming felt a headache. As a civilian, his body could not bear this kind of non-stop traveling. Just when he wanted to rest early, someone started to cause trouble again!
However, disappearance is no trivial matter, so a message was sent to Ning Qingtian, asking him to send someone to look for the person.
Just a quarter of an hour after he sent the message to Ning Qingtian, Ning Qingtian came to his tent in person.
"Uncle Wen, Fan Siping's cousin is dead. The body was found in the bushes fifty meters outside the camp." Wen Qingming didn't expect Ning Qingtian to find the person so quickly, but he didn't expect that the person had turned into a corpse.
"What happened? Has the murderer been caught? Why did the murderer kill people?" Wen Qingming's previous sleepiness was swept away, and he was a little shocked by the result.
"Xingcan has already gone to the scene. I just came back from there. There were no signs of struggle or fighting at the scene. Fan Siping's cousin died of poisoning. According to the investigation, the civilian team behind the convoy... Doctor Rong's team is a major suspect in the crime." Ning Qingtian said to the end, her mood was obviously depressed.
"Suspicion, do you have any evidence?" Wen Qingming asked with a frown.
"No, the witnesses can only prove that the victim had a conflict with Dr. Rong's team, and Dr. Rong also had the ability to commit the crime. When the victim died, Dr. Rong and her team were not at the scene." Ning Qingtian is very efficient and has already investigated the matter clearly.
"We can't just convict people based on suspicion alone. What if we wrongly accuse them? Wouldn't that be a wrongful case?" Wen Qingming said with a headache.
Investigating cases is the most troublesome thing, especially this kind of case that has no beginning or end. Now there is no ubiquitous surveillance. It is important for them to hurry on their way and they don't want to waste time on this kind of thing.
Ning Qingtian heard the hidden meaning in Wen Qingming's words and couldn't help but relax a little.
"I'm afraid Fan Siping won't let it go. He just heard the conversation between me and the witness, and he's demanding that Doctor Rong and his team pay with their lives." Ning Qingtian couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust in her eyes when she mentioned Fan Siping.
