Chapter 325: A Severed Finger

After leaving the hospital, Huo Qingchi immediately contacted his men and rushed to where Huo Ze was.

After hearing the news that Old Master Huo was poisoned, Huo Qingchi thought of a horrifying possibility.

And the look that Ye Qingyue sent at the same time seemed to agree with him.

Although Old Master Huo has many friends, he is cautious and rarely eats out because of what happened during that special period. The

person who could poison him is most likely someone around him.

Someone around Old Master Huo who has a chance to get the poison...

Huo Qingchi can only think of Huo Ze.

He hopes he is wrong.

But what he has found out during this period makes him unable to deny this guess.

Soon, Huo Qingchi rushed to Huo Ze's house and learned another shocking news.

"You said Huo Ze took Song Qi in?"

Huo Qingchi's expression changed slightly, "When did it happen?"

"Forty minutes ago."

The subordinate said, "After the two people went in, there has been no movement."

When the subordinate first saw the man who looked like Song Qi, he thought about calling the police, but this was the Huo family after all, and he was worried that it would affect Huo Qingchi's reputation, so he asked another person to find Huo Qingchi quickly.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qingchi came by himself. The

subordinate said, "Mr. Huo, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Although Song Qi caused the poisoning incident, he was an old country gangster after all. He could only bully a group of old, weak, women and children, and he had no ability to resist them.

"Yeah."

Huo Qingchi didn't want to catch Song Qi in the Huo family and bring discredit to the family, so he might as well take him out and call the police.

He sent extra people to guard other exits, and took a subordinate to the front door of Huo Ze's house, asked his subordinate to hide in the blind spot, and stood at the door and knocked.

"Aze, are you home?"

Huo Qingchi said, "Grandpa is in the hospital, let's go see him together."

However, there was no movement in the house.

Huo Qingchi rang the doorbell and knocked on the door again, but still no one answered.

"Qingchi, what are you doing?"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Huo Qingchi turned his head and saw Huo Zhengguang coming from a distance. He glanced at Huo Qingchi's subordinates standing in the blind spot, frowned, and realized something was wrong.

"Second uncle, Aze may have had an accident - or it may not be him who has an accident."

Huo Qingchi said: "Second aunt's uncle Song Qi was wanted for poisoning and murder in Shenzhen. My men accidentally saw Aze bringing him back. I just knocked on the door and no one responded..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Zhengguang's expression changed slightly. He took out the key and strode forward to open the door.

"Let's go in together. Don't be alone."

Huo Zhengguang said, motioning Huo Qingchi and his men to follow.

The three of them went to the kitchen at the first time, intending to take a knife for defense.

"It seems that a knife is missing."

Huo Zhengguang went to the kitchen from time to time, and he saw at a glance that a small fruit knife was missing. Realizing this, he felt more and more depressed.

Who took the knife?

Is there any accident?

The three of them quickly searched the house.

However, after searching upstairs and downstairs, no one was seen.

Huo Qingchi looked at his men: "Are you sure that none of them went out?"

The men hurriedly said: "We have been guarding around, and we didn't see anyone go out."

"Basement."

At this time, Huo Zhengguang seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to the study on the first floor.

He walked and said: "This family compound was rebuilt during the war, leaving behind a lot of basements, tunnels and other things, but after people moved in during peacetime, for safety reasons, the tunnels and basements were basically sealed with bricks..."

Huo Zhengguang said, pushing open a bookshelf.

Behind the bookshelf is a wall made of red bricks, but now there is a half-person-high doorway on this wall, and it seems to have been made recently.

Huo Zhengguang often works overtime outside, and he has no idea when the basement blocked by the study was knocked open again. The only person

who can do this...

Huo Zhengguang closed his eyes: "Aze."

Only the family members.

Huo Zhengguang didn't understand why Huo Ze wanted to build this basement, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.

He took out a flashlight, and the three of them carefully walked down the narrow stairs, and soon came to a small basement of less than ten square meters.

The basement was in a mess, bottles and jars were smashed to pieces, and many herbs were scattered around, with obvious signs of a fight.

Huo Zhengguang shone the flashlight on the ground and saw a bright bloodstain.

In the middle of the pool of blood, there was a finger.

Huo Zhengguang's hand shook, and the flashlight almost fell to the ground.

"They are not here."

Huo Qingzhi scanned the basement and soon found a dark passage.

He went forward to check, and saw friction marks and bloodstains on the edge of the entrance. "He must have escaped from this tunnel. Second uncle, do you know where the tunnel leads to?" "

The woods near the family compound."

Huo Zhengguang looked at the finger in the pool of blood, his figure hunched a little, "Qingchi... call the police." Things had come to this point, and there was no time to maintain the family's reputation. "Yeah." Huo Qingchi asked his men to call the police, and he went to the woods and found the entrance of the passage that had not been covered yet. However, the traces nearby were covered up, and it was unclear from which direction the person escaped. What is certain is that Huo Ze or Song Qi found that someone was following him nearby. Otherwise, he would not choose to escape in broad daylight. ... "The test results are out."

As soon as the twenty minutes were up, the system's voice rang in Ye Qingyue's ears, "The blood sample of 103A was compared with Huo Feng's DNA and confirmed to be the same person. The blood sample of 103S was compared with Huo Qingchi's DNA and confirmed to be the same person."

In fact, even if the system didn't say it, Ye Qingyue probably guessed it.

Because most of the "unknown names" patients on the folders in front of her can match the gender and age of the Huo family members she knows.

And this is probably not all.

So many members of the Huo family died from the black vine poison, and Huo Qingchi almost died from this poison.

Ye Qingyue took a deep breath, put the folder away, put it back in place, and left the room.

She returned to Mr. Huo's ward and saw Mrs. Huo accompanying her by the bed. She didn't nag, but just held her husband's hand silently.

Yan Yun sat by the side and accompanied her. Seeing Ye Qingyue coming, she smiled: "Qingyue, you..."

"Aunt Yan, let me take your pulse."

Ye Qingyue interrupted her greetings, sat down beside her, motioned her to stretch out her hand, and said to Mrs. Huo beside the bed: "Grandma Huo, come here too, I'll take your pulse too."

Yan Yun asked in confusion: "Qingyue, why are you fine..."

"Do you suspect we are also poisoned?"

Mrs. Huo seemed to have guessed something, and her expression was not very good. The old man was poisoned alone, which made people suspect that there was a thief in the family.

The only thing that made her puzzled was why the other party targeted her old man, a man who had never quarreled with her family for most of his life.

But Ye Qingyue's words seemed to imply that the murderer was more heartless than she thought!

Mrs. Huo's heart sank to the bottom.

Who is it?
