CH 94

Lin Wen was originally prepared to go to the construction site, but Fang Dashan suddenly contacted him urgently.

"Sheriff Lin, more than 100 gray-clothed people we captured yesterday are all dead!"

"What?"

Lin Wen didn't care about working and immediately returned to Huai Town, where he met Fang Dashan.

Among the captives caught yesterday, the seven villains had already been handed over to Fang Yaobo. Due to the large number of gray-clothed people, they were temporarily detained in the prison of the military camp.

"Sheriff Lin, when I interrogated them yesterday, I found that those people were very strange. They seemed to have mental problems and often answered unrelated or nonsensical questions. I interrogated them for a long time but got no results, so I locked them up and planned to continue the interrogation the next day. Unexpectedly, this morning, I found them all lying on the ground. At first, many of them were rolling and groaning, but soon they all died."

Lin Wen nodded. "Let's go and take a look."

Based on the timing, it should have nothing to do with the evil fate at 1 o'clock.

There were no additional evil fates afterwards.

If they really died because of him, there would definitely be some evil fate for the deaths of more than a hundred non-completely black people.

Arriving at the scene, Lin Wen found Phoenix Nest there as well. She was examining the bodies of the gray-clothed people one by one.

Fang Dashan whispered, "Miss Qin just asked me about the private military supplies."

Lin Wen responded with an "Oh." "What did she ask for? Just do as she says."

Fang Dashan's heart trembled, and he immediately answered, "Yes, Sheriff."

Lin Wen walked over and took a look. The bodies of the gray-clothed people were all pale and emaciated. Although they had just died not long ago, the smell of decay had already emanated from them.

He asked, "Did you find anything?"

Qin Luoshuang's face was calm as water. She stood up, glanced around, and deliberately pulled Lin Wen to a corner away from Fang Dashan, speaking in a low voice, "Everyone here has been taking long-term doses of the Enzyme Acetyl Diethylamine Hallucinogen, which is a severe psychoactive drug. When taken, it greatly increases a person's mental activity, but at the same time damages the brain and nerves, blocks pain, and develops a psychological dependence on specific people or things. The empire completely banned this drug fifty years ago."

Lin Wen frowned. "Are you saying they are all drug addicts?"

He found it hard to believe that drug addicts could become Qingcheng's combat forces and be responsible for guarding the backbone of the Democratic Party.

Qin Luoshuang shook her head slightly. "Not only that, all of them have traces of using the Keshi Strengthening Agent. The Keshi Strengthening Agent is a super stimulant, also known as 'Angel.' After taking it, all of a person's qualities will greatly enhance, making them like superhumans. However, it has serious side effects and addictive properties. Once used, it must be taken regularly, otherwise the body's functions will fail and result in death."

Lin Wen recalled the situation when he fought against this group of gray-clothed people and immediately understood.

No wonder these people were so weak. Obviously, the completely black leader was their controller. He was careless and was killed by a rock before he had a chance to give the order to take drugs.

Otherwise, it might have been a tough battle.

Qin Luoshuang continued, "The Keshi Strengthening Agent is a drug used by the imperial army. Later, due to its severe side effects, it was banned by the previous emperor. But as far as I know, the military did not destroy the production line and biological laboratory of the Keshi Strengthening Agent. They just relocated and are still developing updated versions of the enhancer. Currently, all the enhancers on the market come from the military and are not something ordinary people can obtain. All the people in front of us died from the exhaustion caused by not taking the Keshi Strengthening Agent regularly."

Lin Wen nodded. It seemed that there was more to this than meets the eye. The black cloud he saw earlier was obviously another group of people who were the real culprits.

Unfortunately, they escaped.

"How do you know all this?" Lin Wen curiously asked.

Qin Luoshuang calmly replied, "Because my father is one of the biggest beneficiaries."

"Oh." Lin Wen asked again, "What should we do now?"

"Burn all the bodies immediately. Don't let Fang Dashan notice this. Just say they died from hallucinogen poisoning. Be careful not to let the forensic doctors examine the bodies. They can tell."

"Okay."

Lin Wen immediately gave the order, and Fang Dashan did not question it and carried out the command.

During this time, Lin Wen told Phoenix Nest about the recent events. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "I have a bad feeling, but I can't be sure yet. Let's go and ask the leader of the Democratic Party about the specific situation at that time."

Yun Qingshui was in the hospital ward of the First Hospital. When she heard about Lin Wen's purpose, her face became dim, but there was no despair or lifelessness.

She calmly said, "The agreed meeting place at that time was Daxu Village. We were very careful when we went there and thoroughly surveyed the area. Within a radius of five li around Daxu Village, there was not a single person, and even the residents of the village had long been evacuated. They did indeed only bring ten people, all dressed in tight-fitting clothes or shirtless, showing that they did not bring any weapons. Naively, I thought they would keep their promise and only brought our own ten people. But after only a few words, they suddenly turned hostile and attacked."

Even now, there was still some fear remaining on Yun Qingshui's face."The people I chose, almost all of them have passed the advanced martial arts national examination. Among them, the butcher and I are even at the highest level. I thought that even if there were people we couldn't beat, they would never leave us powerless."

"But as soon as we started, we were terribly wrong. Their muscles were like steel, and any joint techniques were useless. Their speed was as fast as lightning. Our fastest member, the mole Xu Lao Gen, who had run thirty meters ahead, was caught up and had both his hands and feet broken."

A short man with a rat-like face on the opposite bed shouted, "That's right, I was in the middle of a hundred-meter sprint at the time, and I had already pulled away. I thought I had escaped, but when I turned my head, that monster-like guy was already behind me. He shattered my right shin with a kick. I was thrown far away, and he came over and crushed my left leg and both hands."

He spoke lightly, but looking at his limbs all plastered thickly and hanging on the bed unable to move, one could tell how ruthless the enemy's attack was.

Lin Wen thought to himself, "If he were in my world, he would already be disabled. Can they actually treat him here? And this is just a town hospital. It seems that the technology tree of this world is skewed, with a high focus on biological medical technology. No wonder the Medicine King was only shocked when he saw my Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and didn't go crazy."

Yun Qingshui said, "Their reaction speed is also unimaginable. Lao Gang hid a pistol and fired six shots at a distance of about one meter, but none of them hit."

At this point, Qin Luoshuang couldn't help but glance at Lin Wen, who just sneered, "It's nothing but a petty trick."
