Chapter 563 Starved to Death (Part 1)
The person in charge looked horrified.
He was just hesitating whether to call Ruan Qi "young lady" when he heard Xi Jiu's voice ringing in his ears again: "You are also my lover."
My baby. And my love.
Person in charge: “…”
The person in charge was deeply grateful for the "little lady" that he had not yet uttered.
God bless you.
Let him save his life.
The frightened person in charge quickly greeted Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi politely shook his hand and asked, "Can I go into the interrogation room?"
The person in charge was stunned: "Uh... these people are in a dangerous situation. Miss Ruan might go into the interrogation room by herself..."
Before he could finish his words, Xi Jiu said, "I'll go in with her."
The person in charge was well aware of Xi Jiu's fighting ability and immediately relaxed upon hearing this. "With the boss here, Miss Ruan will definitely not be in danger."
He pressed the remote control and opened the door of the interrogation room. "Come in, both of you."
The heavy metal door slowly opened.
A shrill scream came from the interrogation room.
Xi Jiu took Ruan Qi's hand and they walked in together.
The interrogation room was very large, with cold air from the central air conditioner blowing down from the ceiling.
In the center of the room stood a white interrogation table, with three men in camouflage uniforms sitting at each of its three edges.
They were firmly trapped in place by handcuffs and iron chairs, and the handcuffs made a harsh friction sound as they roared and struggled.
Ruan Qi let go of Xi Jiu's hand and walked over.
She walked up to a man in camouflage uniform and stood half a meter away, examining his face carefully with her clear peach blossom eyes.
"The face is dark blue, the center of the eyebrows is black, and the lips are crimson purple. The pupils are dilated, and there is saliva at the corners of the mouth..." Ruan Qi reached out, grabbed the man's head and tilted it to the right, "The ears are slightly blue, and the head... huh?"
The little girl let out a soft "hmm" and put her face close to the camouflage uniform to observe the back of his head closely.
"Why is there a small red dot here? It looks like it was left after the needle was inserted."
Ruan Qi rubbed the small red dot with her fingers. The man in camouflage uniform she was holding seemed to have touched a nerve. He opened his mouth wide, yelled and struggled violently.
Ruan Qi slapped him on the head: "Don't move!"
The slap was so powerful that even though the man in camouflage uniform had lost his mind, he was still stunned for a moment.
After checking the head, Ruan Qi pinched his cheeks and pried the man's mouth open.
Suddenly, a bitter smell came out of the man's mouth.
Ruan Qi frowned slightly: "This smell is not right."
"What's wrong?" asked Xi Jiu beside him.
Ruan Qi: "His mouth smells like medicine."
Ordinary people would simply mistake this bitterness for bad breath, but Ruan Qi had studied medicine for many years and could clearly distinguish the difference between bad breath and the bitter taste of medicine.
"Did you give him any medicine during the interrogation?"
The person in charge outside the interrogation room heard the question and quickly shook his head: "No."
"That's strange." Ruan Qi let go of the camouflage man and pushed his struggling head aside. "Judging from his complexion, this man is in very good health. He shouldn't need to take medicine."
After saying that, she grabbed the man's wrist and took his pulse.
The pulse is strong and healthier than most people's. However...
"Hmm?" Ruan Qi looked puzzled and carefully felt his pulse again.
After the exploration, she stood up, walked to the second camouflage uniform, and grabbed his wrist.
Ruan Qi felt the pulses of all three men, and the more she felt, the more confused she looked.
Then she pulled apart the hair of the three people and searched back and forth on the back of their heads.
Xi Jiu came over and asked, "Baby, what are you looking for?"
"Looking for the eye of the needle." Ruan Qi answered while searching.
Xi Jiu frowned in confusion: "Needle eye?"
"Yes. I suspect they were injected with some kind of drug." At this point, Ruan Qi suddenly exclaimed, "I found it! Jiujiu, look here."
Ruan Qi pulled the man's hair and pointed her finger at a spot on the back of his head.
There, there is a very subtle red dot.
Xi Jiu looked at the small red dot, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "Is this a pinhole?"
Ruan Qi nodded. "Yes. Someone injected an injection into the back of his head. Judging by the color of the needle hole and the degree of healing, the injection should have been no more than seventy-two hours ago."
Due to subcutaneous bleeding, when a person is injected with an injection, a very inconspicuous wound or scab will be left at the needle hole.
This wound is so small that most people don't pay attention to it. However, experienced doctors can judge the approximate time of the injection based on the color, swelling and healing of the wound around the needle hole.
"These three people have the same needle holes on the back of their heads, and they all taste bitter medicine in their mouths. They must have been injected with some kind of drug. By the way, where are the other people in Organization X?" Ruan Qi looked at the person in charge outside the interrogation room.
The person in charge quickly replied: "Locked in another room."
Ruan Qi nodded and ordered, "Go check the backs of those people's heads to see if they have the same needle holes."
The Eagle Division members acted quickly and reported the inspection results in less than ten minutes.
When the person in charge saw the messages sent by his subordinates, a look of shock appeared on his face.
Seeing his reaction, Ruan Qi had the answer in her mind.
"They all have pinholes in the back of their heads, right?"
The person in charge nodded in shock: "...Yes."
"Does your mouth taste bitter?" Ruan Qi asked again.
The person in charge nodded in shock again: "Yes, they all smell like what Miss Ruan described."
Now, the truth is revealed.
The collective abnormality of these people is most likely related to the injection in the back of the head.
"What drug did they inject? Why couldn't Barkley detect it with the instrument?" Everyone was full of doubts.
Ruan Qi released his grip on the camouflage uniform and said slowly, "Of course the instrument can't detect it. Because what they injected wasn't poison, but a medicine to strengthen the body."
Person in charge: "? To keep fit?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi felt the pulse of the camouflage uniform and stood up. "The drug they injected should be able to bring the human body to its peak strength in a short period of time. It's a bit like a stimulant, but the side effects are greater than those of a stimulant."
She pointed at the darkened face of the man in the camouflage uniform. "This is the side effect. Those who have been injected with this drug will be very powerful in combat while the drug is taking effect. However, after the effect wears off, their bodies and minds will begin to become puppets."
"Puppetization?" Everyone was puzzled. "What is that?"
Ruan Qi: "It means turning into a puppet. Not only physically, but also in terms of body functions. For example, humans can swallow automatically, but puppets can't."
Everyone gasped, "If we can't swallow, won't we starve to death?"
