Chapter 775 The prisoner is dead
"Really?" Li Jinxing's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that Thutmose, after ascending to the throne, deliberately erased their existence, or that they quietly escaped because they failed in the struggle for imperial power?"
"We don't know exactly what happened. I only know that Thutmose III erased many stories about the pharaoh's life, but left behind a temple dedicated to the queen and an obelisk! It wasn't until later generations excavated Hatshepsut's mummy and conducted DNA testing that her identity was confirmed. However, the body of the priest Senmut is still missing, and there is only an empty tomb..."
Nie Yao's tone became a little distant, and Li Jinxing did not interrupt her thoughts, but accompanied her in deep thought.
The two of them sat facing each other in silence for a long time, and the ringing of a cell phone broke the temporary tranquility in the living room.
"It's your cell phone ringing!" Nie Yao reminded in a low voice.
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, picked up his phone and took a look. It was a call from the Cairo Police Department. He answered the call immediately and asked in a deep voice, "Hello, Officer Nat, what was the result of the interrogation last night?"
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to call you now to inform you that the prisoner is dead!" Officer Nat's voice sounded a little heavy over the phone.
"Dead?" Li Jinxing frowned, thinking he had misheard. "Officer Nat, how could he suddenly die? He wasn't injured when he was arrested last night."
Nie Yao, who was originally having a meal, heard what Li Jinxing said and guessed that he was talking to someone from the police station. And from the tone of voice, it seemed that the guy who had the Desert Eagle last night was dead?
"I'm sorry, we were interrogating him in the interrogation room last night, trying to pry him open, but he was arrogant and unwilling to cooperate..."
Officer Nat paused here and whispered back what happened last night.
Li Jinxing listened very carefully. Nie Yao also stood up quietly, walked in front of him, and listened to the call from the police station together.
"So that young man, named Yi Er, who claimed to be a shoemaker, turned out to have no legal status and had illegally entered the country, so his nationality is unknown?"
After listening to what Officer Nat said, Li Jinxing concluded in a deep voice.
"Yes, we've checked his information and found it's riddled with errors and omissions, but his illegal immigration status is genuine. Last night, during the interrogation, I decided to detain him overnight. Suddenly, he collapsed, foaming at the mouth and shaking all over. We thought he was having an epileptic seizure. Later, he started vomiting blood. By the time he was rushed to the hospital, he was already in critical condition and couldn't be saved!"
When Officer Nat said this, a cold light flashed in Li Jinxing's eyes, and he asked hesitantly: "Officer Nat, is he poisoned?"
"Yeah, he was poisoned by a strange toxin. We're still waiting for the autopsy results!"
Officer Nat nodded and explained, then realized something and asked in surprise, "Mr. Li, how did you guess he died of poisoning?"
"Because previously in China, a thief who attempted to steal ancient Egyptian artifacts was located by the police, but before they could arrest him, he died in his apartment. He also died of poisoning, and the poison was from a desert scorpion!"
"There's such a thing..." Officer Nat on the other end of the phone frowned and said thoughtfully, "So, Mr. Li, it's very likely that the mastermind behind them is the same person, and they have people all over the world..."
