Old Qi immediately put down his teacup and looked at her seriously.

Are you sure?

In fact, he knew that his apprentice would not lie, especially not about such an important matter.

If she wasn't lying, then who was the nurse Xiaoxiao they caught?

ten minutes later,

The division commander and the regimental commander rushed over, followed by the dean, just in time to examine Jiang Yuyan.

Before he could catch his breath, the division commander asked...

"What's going on? What do you mean by saying the nurse we arrested isn't the original nurse? What does that mean?"

"Could it be that the nurse wasn't the original one, or that she was replaced? No, it's definitely not a replacement; her face is her own."

The division commander rejected the claim without even thinking.

The regimental commander was also speechless.

He didn't know Comrade Yanzi. Apart from knowing that she was Qi Lao's apprentice, he thought she was just an ordinary female comrade.

He found her sudden claim that the person they had captured was not the original person to be utter nonsense.

Jiang Yuyan knew that without concrete evidence, saying anything would be a waste of time.

"If you don't believe me, I can go see that nurse myself right now and ask her about Xiaoxiao, the nurse I used to know. How about that?"

Division Commander: "..."

"That kind of place isn't for delicate women like you. Once you go in, you never come out. No one can get in by any other means."

While the division commander was still hesitating, the regimental commander had already directly refused.

Before Jiang Yuyan could react, Old Master Qi's temper flared up.

"What? Are you letting her go because you're afraid she'll actually find out you arrested the wrong person? Or do you just not want to admit you're stupid? You didn't even realize you arrested the wrong person? You're being played and you're even smug about it?"

Division Commander: "..."

No, he didn't say anything, so why is Old Qi making personal attacks?

Regiment Commander: "....."

The interrogation room is located on the second basement floor of the South District base.

The interrogation room consists of a row of single-story buildings visible above ground and two underground floors used to detain border outlaws.

Those imprisoned at the lower levels are usually people with dozens of lives on their hands, beasts who don't treat human life as human.

The interrogation methods used for these types of criminals are different, and they are definitely "more severe" than you might imagine.

Old Qi followed Jiang Yuyan down to the second basement level of the interrogation room.

However, he and his division commander waited outside the glass door, and the regimental commander personally led her inside.

The sound of the door opening startled Nurse Xiaoxiao, who had been keeping her eyes closed and silent. When she saw Jiang Yuyan, a dark glint flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Jiang Yuyan saw it, and meeting her unfamiliar and questioning gaze, she became even more certain that this woman was not the "Nurse Xiaoxiao" she knew.

The regimental commander stood aside with his arms crossed, watching silently and without saying anything about precautions, looking like he was letting Jiang Yuyan make all the decisions and enjoying the show.

Nurse Xiaoxiao glanced disdainfully at the regimental commander.

"What? Is your Southern Base out of manpower? Or do you look down on me and send a useless woman to interrogate me?"

The regimental commander ignored her provocation and continued to stand guard, motionless.

Jiang Yuyan circled around "Nurse Xiaoxiao" once.

As soon as she walked behind her, without Jiang Yuyan needing to get close, she could already smell the same stench of decay as Zhou Wuzhong.

Besides the stench of decay, she also had a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Yuyan remembered that it had been about half a month since she caught this woman.

Logically, even if you have a lot of odor on you, it should have mostly dissipated by now.

However, this woman still smelled so strongly of blood.

There is only one reason—

That is, this woman, like Zhou Wuzhong, had always stayed in a space filled with the smell of blood.

The smell of blood had become a distinctive odor on her, the kind that couldn't be dispelled.

Knowing what was going on, Jiang Yuyan sat down opposite her and asked, feigning confusion.

"Nurse Xiaoxiao, don't you recognize me?"

"Why should I get to know you?" Nurse Xiaoxiao said dismissively.

"I've killed many people. If I had to remember them all, how long would it take?"

This isn't narcissism on her part, but rather a display of pride and disdain.

She was the only one out of hundreds of people in their organization to fight her way out; her strength was undeniable, and she had every right to be proud.

Jiang Yuyan curled her lips into a smile.

"That's even stranger. When you desperately want to kill me but can't, wouldn't you remember me even more?"

"Why are you saying you can't remember my face now? You may not know my name, but I'm sure you dream about my face every night and want to get rid of me."

Nurse Xiaoxiao looked up and remained silent.

Jiang Yuyan ignored her silence and continued speaking.

"By the way, Deputy Regiment Commander Ling recently suffered even more serious injuries and was admitted to the intensive care unit. Why haven't I seen you go to check on him?"

Nurse Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

"You want me to care about men? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Looking at the regimental commander, she said disdainfully, "What? Are you just going to stand by and watch this woman cause trouble? Or is her backer so powerful that even you can't get rid of her?"

After saying that, she sneered, "What a bunch of 'useless' people, they can't even control a woman."

Jiang Yuyan looked at her for a long time, then said to the regimental commander,

"Commander, you said you checked her dormitory. Are you sure you checked it thoroughly?"

"I saw Nurse Xiaoxiao during the day, and the next day she was attacked in the morgue. Don't you think the timing is a bit too coincidental?"

Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes and sneered, "It's like someone was notified in advance and made arrangements, and the most suitable person at that time just happened to be Nurse Xiaoxiao, who ran into Deputy Commander Ling's ward without any reason."

Nurse Xiaoxiao's facial expression remained unchanged, as if her words had no effect whatsoever.

"What? You've come here to chat? If so, then you'd better leave. You want to chat, but I don't want to listen."

After saying that, she ignored Jiang Yuyan and the others, closing her eyes as if she couldn't hear them.

Jiang Yuyan wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she asked the regimental commander a question.

Are there any other empty dormitories at the clinic?

As soon as she finished speaking, Nurse Xiaoxiao, who hadn't reacted at all, twitched her eyelids, but still didn't open her eyes.

The regimental commander, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed her subtle movements and swallowed back the words he hadn't intended to say.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded. "Yes, not many people actually want to come to the border to work as doctors and nurses, so there are definitely more empty dormitories than people living there."

"Then I would like to ask the commander to thoroughly search all the empty dormitories. This time, we might find something unexpected," Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.

The regimental commander paused for a moment, then turned and went outside.

Jiang Yuyan looked away and saw that "Nurse Xiaoxiao," who had been keeping her eyes closed, had opened them and was staring at her with a sinister look in her eyes.

"You're also with the border troops? What do you do? Why are you targeting me? Did I slip up somewhere?"
