Chapter 9: Heteroblood-09
Probably because the news provided by Gu Congzhou was too shocking, Young Marshal Guan sat there and didn't say anything for a long time. Gu Congzhou and Shen Yu looked at each other for a while, but neither of them spoke. After a long while, Young Marshal Guan seemed to come back to his senses, and he looked up at Gu Congzhou: "In addition to these two people, is there anyone like this?" β
Gu Congzhou shook his head: "We have asked for a long time, but we only asked about these two cases. β
"Which villages did you go to?" Guan Shaoshuai asked. Seeing that Gu Congzhou wanted to speak, he pointed to the table: "Write it down." β
Gu Congzhou nodded, walked over and picked up the pen, and wrote down all the villages he and Shen Yu had visited.
Young Marshal Guan glanced at the list written by Gu Congzhou and frowned slightly. After a while, he put down the list and said to Gu Congzhou, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?" β
Gu Congzhou hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Young Marshal, has the murderer of my teacher been found?" β
"I asked the doctors in your hospital," said Guan Shaoshuai, "at the time of the incident, most of the people were sleeping at home, and a few were on duty in the hospital, and there were so many people without a certificate, but it was not a matter of a day or two to find out about these dozen people." Speaking of which, if the murderer killed Dean Pei really because of the blue-blooded man, how many people in your hospital know about the fact that you got this person back? β
"Actually, it shouldn't be much," Gu Congzhou said, "When we first found out about that madman, it was because he attacked others." We thought he was insane or sick, so we took him back to the hospital. At that time, he didn't seem to have much abnormality, except that he was not very conscious. It wasn't until I dissected him with my teacher that I realized that his blood was blue. β
"And who else but you knows that his blood is blue?"
"Except for me and the teacher, no one else should know." Gu Congzhou said. "During the dissection, it was only me and the teacher, and we even let Lao Xu avoid it. After the autopsy, I cleaned the dissection table before letting Lao Xu in. Speaking of this, Gu Congzhou remembered something, paused and added, "However, the time was limited at that time, and it may be that I didn't clean it particularly thoroughly, and I ......might not be able to say what Lao Xu found out."
"That old Xu is the one who guards the morgue, right?" "He died in the explosion. His wife came to identify the body and confirmed that it was him. However, he had other stab wounds on his body, and he was killed before the explosion. β
"Yes...... Extinguish? Gu Congzhou asked.
"It may also be to destroy the corpse and get rid of the people who get in the way." Guan Shaoshuai said, "Who else knows besides him?" β
Gu Congzhou thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I really can't remember." β
"From the time you found that madman to the autopsy, you tell me the process in detail, don't miss anything."
Gu Congzhou nodded, he recalled it, and began to repeat it in detail. When he said that he went to the utility room to find the person, Guan Shaoshuai suddenly interrupted him: "Wait, you said that person was placed in the utility room before?" β
"Yes."
"Who stuffed him there?"
"It's Dr. Qian." Gu Congzhou said, "There was just an earthquake that day, and there were many patients in the hospital, and he was in charge of the hospital's scheduling. When I came back, I was anxious to find the teacher, so I asked him to help me find a place to place the person. Gu Congzhou looked at Young Marshal Guan's increasingly serious expression, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, "Young Marshal, do you doubt it...... Dr. Money? β
"You two stay in the Shuai Mansion first, and I will have someone look for you if there is something in the past two days." After Guan Shaoshuai finished speaking, he got up and left.
After Young Marshal Guan left the room, soldiers came in and asked the two to go out. Shen Yu followed the soldier out, and quietly bit his ear with Gu Congzhou: "I said, listen to the young marshal's meaning, could it be that the doctor who killed your teacher is really that Qian doctor?" β
Gu Congzhou shook his head. He had a vague feeling that this might be more complicated than he expected......
Money House.
Qian Xianming stared at the person in front of him with a look of disbelief. He tried to reach for it, but his hand was no longer strong. The pain was excessing from his consciousness.
The woman opposite got up from the table, still with a smile on her face, and the little beauty mole under the corner of her eye still looked amorous. The woman placed a "confession" in front of Qian Xianming's table, then put on her coat and left the room with a calm gait.
At the same time, outside the city.
On a hill a few miles away from the town of Pingji, there is a cave. It is said to be mined, but no one has ever seen any ore dug out of it. Walking into the cave, you won't see the usual tools like minecarts or pickaxes, but you will see prison-like rooms that were supposed to have been inhabited by peopleβor creatures that were once humansβbut now they're empty, with nothing but bloodstained dead grass and a lingering smell of rot.
Several men carried the last of the carcass, unknown whether it was a man or a beast, and placed it on a pyre, one poured gasoline on the corpses, while others planted explosives all over the cave and linked their fuses together.
"Report, everything is ready." A man reported to a man who looked like a soldier.
"Good," said the soldier-looking man, and there was a kind of stiffness in his tone that was peculiar to foreigners. "Ignition."
A man threw a torch at the pile of firewood, and almost immediately, the firewood and grass, the corpse, burst into flames. Soon after several people came out of the cave, they only heard a dull explosion inside the cave, and immediately after, the explosions continued one after another, and the entire cave finally could not withstand the explosion from the inside, and finally collapsed.
"I, Qian Xianming, was discovered by Dean Pei for stealing hospital drugs, so I sneaked into Dean Pei's house the day before yesterday, hoping to seek Dean Pei's forgiveness, but unexpectedly had a quarrel with him, and accidentally stabbed Professor Pei to death during the dispute. In desperation, I forged a blood letter and wanted to blame Dean Pei's students for this matter. However, in the past three days, Qian has been sleepless day and night, and he feels that he is ashamed of what he has done, so he decided to apologize for his crime by death......"
Young Marshal Guan threw the confession book on the table, and a sneer came out of his mouth.
Adjutant Li, who was on the side, spoke: "Qian Xianming died of arsenic poisoning. We checked his handwriting, and it was very similar to the handwriting on the confession, except that ......"
"It doesn't matter if it's like it or not," Young Marshal Guan waved his hand, interrupting the adjutant's report, "They think such a piece of paper can send me away?" It's too underestimated to look down on me. β
Adjutant Li nodded slightly. As soon as they found out that Dr. Qian was suspicious, the people over there committed suicide in fear of crime, and no one with a little common sense would think that it was such a coincidence. Sure enough, the young marshal Guan over there also continued to speak: "They did this just to cut off the clues and make it difficult for us to investigate." But Qian Xianming is not the only clue, is it true that our Kwantung Army is a vegetarian? β
With a chill in Guan Tingxiao's eyes, he asked, "How's the matter of the test?" β
Adjutant Li handed a report to Major Marshal Guan: "The military doctor extracted a small amount of blood cells and found that all the red blood cells of the deceased had undergone abnormal changes, and the red blood cells after this change could not carry oxygen normally, so it would cause people to die due to severe lack of oxygen." The blue color of their blood is also related to changes in red blood cells. But what exactly causes this change in their red blood cells is not known to military doctors. If, according to those two people, they have been injected with some unknown drug, then maybe the drug has been metabolized, or maybe our existing technology has not been able to test it. β
Guan Shaoshuai's brows furrowed. He thought for a moment and said, "Didn't that person surnamed Gu say that there was a madman who had gnawed on his own child before?" Dig up the child's body and see if it can be examined from there. In addition, I sent someone to Pingji Town and gave me a careful search of all the nearby mines and mines. Didn't they say that they were swindling people out in the name of recruiting miners? At least there's got to be a decent mine. If you see which mine is wrong, check it carefully for me, if you can't lock people up first, and then release them after you find out! β
"Yes!"
The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door outside: "Report!" Doctor Gu asked to see the young marshal. β
"Let him in."
Gu Congzhou walked in. Before he could speak, Young Marshal Guan pointed to the confession on the table: "It just so happens that you are here, you can take a look." β
Gu Congzhou picked it up and looked at it, and his face changed instantly. He took the page and read it twice, frowned, and said, "Young marshal, this confession is really written by Dr. Qian?" β
"What do you think?"
"I think it's a little weird. We had just started to check on Dr. Qian when he committed suicide, and I always felt that this was ...... It's also too much of a coincidence. β
Young Marshal Guan smiled unexpectedly and looked at Adjutant Li, who understood and explained to Gu Congzhou: "Doctor Gu, don't worry, the young marshal also has doubts about this matter, and we will find out." β
Gu Congzhou nodded, and then he was relieved.
"What are you looking for me?" Guan Tingxiao then asked.
Gu Cong turned around and said, "Young Marshal, I want to ask, I don't know if there is a result of the test......
"What you got back isn't of much use, you'll have to find it again." Young Marshal Guan replied briefly, "Do you know anyone else who is like them, or has been in contact with them?" β
Hearing this, the first thing that came to Gu Congzhou's mind was Shen Yu. However, he didn't want to talk about it, so he shook his head: "We asked a lot of people at the time, and we only asked about one case with a similar situation. β
Guan Shaoshuai nodded and said, "Okay, I know." If there's nothing to do, you can go back first, I'll let you know if there's news. β
After Guan Shaoshuai finished speaking, he wanted to go out, Gu Congzhou hurriedly said: "Young Marshal stay!" β
Guan Tingxiao stopped and turned his head.
"Young marshal," Gu Congzhou took a step forward and hesitated, "I have an idea, I want to talk to the young marshal......"
Gu Congzhou's expression was very serious, and it seemed that there was something really important. Young Marshal Guan stopped and said, "You say." β
Gu Congzhou subconsciously looked at Adjutant Li on the side. Guan Shaoshuai saw it, but he didn't say it. Gu Congzhou understood that this meant that it was okay to say, so he said: "Young marshal, I have thought about it for the past two days, if our previous guesses are all right, these people, they deceived so many people to do experiments, and they killed people so quickly when they found out that something happened, and used the method of explosion to ......" Speaking of this, Gu Congzhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and gave himself courage, "I always feel that this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do." β
Gu Congzhou paid attention, and after hearing this, Guan Shaoshuai's brows furrowed. Gu Congzhou's heart beat faster, he knew the seriousness of his words, but if he didn't say that he was at ease, he simply said: "Studying drugs requires technology, equipment, personnel, and venues, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Although we are not sure whether the symptoms of these people are caused by drugs, if they are, then ...... Then these people are absolutely sinister......"
There was a suppressed silence in the room. Gu Congzhou felt the cold sweat on his back.
"I understand what you said," After a long while, Young Marshal Guan finally spoke again, his voice still indistinguishable from joy and anger, "You go down first." β
Gu Congzhou nodded and left the room.
There were only two left, Young Marshal Guan and Adjutant Li, in the room. Adjutant Li said to Young Marshal Guan, "Young Marshal, even Doctor Gu has thought of it. β
"Yes, a doctor can understand it, and we can't be confused." There was a sneer on the corner of Guan Shaoshuai's mouth, "If you don't know about this matter, I won't be surnamed Guan!" β
