Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, the dean thought for a moment before carefully speaking.

"Currently, there is no medicine that can instantly render someone unconscious, and the cause of the illness cannot be found. One problem is the technology, and many rare and precious medicinal herbs have basically become extinct."

Ling Wenchen was unwilling to give up, "There are indeed bad guys using this kind of drug to instantly put people into a coma, and the cause cannot be found, nor can they be woken up."

The dean knew what he was talking about.

Several doctors who came back from the emergency room talked to him and asked him about the cause, but he didn't know for the time being.

but--

"The situation you described reminds me of something recorded in ancient medical texts, but under the current conditions, I don't think anyone can successfully produce this medicine."

Ling Wenchen and his superior asked in unison, "What's your name?"

"Soul-Dissolving Powder!" The dean's face was serious.

"As the name suggests, it is an extremely vicious and domineering 'puppet' poison. Legend has it that this poison only existed in the hands of the powerful and wealthy in ancient times, and ordinary people could not obtain it."

Soul-Destroying Powder!

X, H, S——

Ling Wenchen and his teacher exchanged glances—that's it!

"Dean, if we really were poisoned by the Soul-Destroying Powder, do we have the antidote here?"

"Yes, old man, hurry up and bring out that antidote for the Soul-Slaying Poison. I'm still waiting for Elder Qi to wake up."

The dean was speechless. "What do you take this place for?"

"As I said, the conditions for successfully creating the Soul-Destroying Powder are very strict, and there is almost no antidote for it, nor is there any book that records an antidote."

Ling Wenchen pursed his lips.

What is this?

In other words, even if they knew what kind of poison Qi Lao had been given, they had no way to wake him up.

"Report--"

A soldier rushed over and said, "Our people have been attacked at the back gate of the base. There are signs of a struggle at the scene."

The division commander stumbled, grabbed him, and yelled, "What the hell did you say?"

Ling Wenchen interrupted him sternly.

"Commander, is this the time to be swearing? You know the terrain here, but there are others who know it even better than you."

"The fact that they dared to use the back door means they are confident they can get out of there. What we need to do now is send a team to chase after them and intercept them."

The division commander snapped out of his daze and said, "Yes, send a team over there. Once we find them, we must bring them back by any means necessary."

"yes!"

Ling Wenchen calmed down and reviewed everything over and over again, and a general idea emerged.

The division commander slumped down in the corridor, muttering, "What a fucking bastard!"

"Commander, this means that both the death of the head of the Mechanical Department and the disappearance of Teacher Qi and his apprentice were deliberately orchestrated to make us focus our investigation on the death of the head of the Mechanical Department."

The division commander wasn't stupid; after several rounds, he realized he'd been tricked.

It's no use regretting it now; he can only find the culprit as soon as possible and make amends.

Ling Wenchen carefully considered it.

"You said before that Old Qi had his assistants seal off the hospital, dormitory, and morgue, and then they disappeared. Does that mean that someone targeted them after the assistants became famous?"

The division commander nodded. "Yes, they said that two bodies in the morgue had skin defects. They want me to seal off these areas as soon as possible and investigate and quarantine everyone who has been to these areas."

"The moment the base was sealed off, truck drivers rushed out, and then their men attacked the comrades guarding the back gate."

"This shows that all of this was planned in advance, one step after another, all to get one of the two people out of the country."

What puzzled Ling Wenchen was why that group of people put Old Qi in the coffin in the truck, which was the easiest place to find out, instead of Jiang Yuyan?

If they want the formula for the new drug, wouldn't it be easier to get it by capturing Qi Lao?

Oh, right, there's one more question.

The only people who can easily obtain medicine are the doctors and nurses at the base's health clinic.

"Commander, when you checked the clinic, was there anyone who wasn't on duty today and wasn't in their dormitory?"

The division commander instantly understood what he meant and summoned the platoon leader who was blocking the medical station.

"Report: Except for Dr. Wang and Nurse Xiaoxiao, almost everyone on the list is there."

"Have you checked their dorm? Are they in the dorm?"

"Dr. Wang is here; he is seriously ill, and his wife is taking care of him at home."

However, when we went to Nurse Xiaoxiao's dormitory, no matter how much we knocked, no one answered. We broke down the door, but didn't see anyone there.

The division commander nearly vomited blood in anger. "Why didn't you report such an important matter to me before?"

The platoon leader bowed his head.

"I was planning to report this to you, but because of the morgue matter, you asked everyone not to disturb you unless it's important, so I—"

"Slap!" He couldn't hold back any longer and slapped the idiot's shoulder.

"You idiot—"

In less than half an hour, the nurse named "Xiaoxiao" was identified.

The background is clean and looks perfectly fine, but the fact that there's no problem is the biggest problem.

The orphan of a veteran, whose parents have both passed away and who has no other relatives.

This is a high-risk area where impersonation is easy.

Head Nurse Yan never expected that Xiaoxiao, who usually seemed arrogant and brainless, would actually be an accomplice of the villains.

"This... Commander, we really didn't know Xiaoxiao had any problems at the time. She was hired through the proper procedures."

Her heart raced. Seeing Ling Wenchen, as if remembering something, she pointed at him in the wheelchair and cried out.

"Yes, ever since this deputy regimental commander was hospitalized, Xiaoxiao has been constantly going to see him. At the time, we thought she had a crush on him, and we thought—"

She didn't dare say what came next in front of Ling Wenchen, but everyone present understood.

Ling Wenchen ignored the strange looks he was getting. "Have you noticed anything else unusual about her? You can tell me anything, no matter how small."

Sometimes, even the smallest things can reveal a person's inner thoughts.

Head Nurse Yan thought about it carefully and found nothing suspicious.

"She usually has a terrible temper, is very unpopular, doesn't get along with the people here, and has no friends except—"

Suddenly something occurred to me.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao usually goes to wash up very late. No matter how much I tell her to go wash up as soon as possible, she still doesn't go until 11 or 12 at night."

"Once I was curious why she was taking so long to wash up, so I went to the bathroom and there was no one there. I didn't know where Xiaoxiao had gone."

She originally remembered this incident very clearly, but the clinic was usually very busy, and Xiaoxiao didn't cause any problems except for throwing a tantrum, so she forgot about it.

Ling Wenchen seized on one point: "You mean she does this every night? She doesn't go to wash up until 11 or 12 at night?"

So, was she actually not going to wash up, but to deliver a message to someone?

The division commander also realized this, and his face darkened.

Damn it, right under his nose, thieves are stealing from him, and he hasn't even noticed.

It seems that his recent victories have made him a little complacent.

Xiaoxiao's dormitory.

Ling Wenchen looked at the messy room. Many things were still there, indicating that she left in a hurry and didn't have time to tidy up.

The division commander ordered five men to go in and search thoroughly.

"Investigate carefully, don't overlook any small item. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find out their secrets."

A pile of women's clothes and skincare products, all of which look like things women use regularly.

Ling Wenchen glanced at it, bent down and picked up a bottle of clear liquid. It looked like a skincare product but didn't quite, because there was only one small bottle with no label and the exterior was clean.

"What did you discover?"

Ling Wenchen didn't dare to open the lid and smell it, but instead sent someone to call the director of the clinic.

Handing the small transparent bottle to the dean

"Dean, can you find out what's in this small bottle?"
