Chapter 380 - 380 Question
380 Question
Actually, the movements of the person in front of her were very subtle, but because Lin Suisui had been learning the language of the northern barbarians recently, she was much more sensitive to their habits and customs.
Therefore, she could tell at a glance that this man’s actions were strange.
“Send them to the Imperial City government.” Lin Suisui turned to look at Su Le and instructed in a low voice, “Regardless of whether they’re telling the truth or not, we can get to the bottom of it.”
After Su Le led people to carry the two people tied to the ground away, Lin Suisui turned to look at Doctor Luo. “Don’t be surprised. There’s something fishy about these two people, but the six people who were poisoned are probably businessmen.
They were all unconscious just now, so it wasn’t appropriate to ask. Doctor Luo, please keep an eye on them. If anyone among them wakes up, remember to inform me. We’ll come over and ask about the situation.”
Upon hearing Lin Sui’s instructions, Doctor Luo nodded in agreement. “Previously, I found it strange that those people had been in a coma ever since they were sent over.
I heard from the bailiffs that they were already in a coma when they were discovered. At first, I didn’t think too much about it. They only thought of sending them to us because the symptoms of one of them couldn’t be hidden anymore.
Because they were sent over by the government office, I asked about their background. The six patients couldn’t answer, so in the end, I could only ask about the two of them.
However, who would have thought that these were actually two wolves in sheep’s clothing?!”
Doctor Luo shook his head and sighed. Thinking of how he had almost been tricked, he still felt a lingering sense of fear.
Lin Suisui had other things on her mind, so she didn’t stay in the medical center for long. When she came out, she instructed Su Le to go to the Imperial City government to look for Lu Ze.
Lu Ze had just heard that Lin Suisui had sent him a big gift when someone reported that Lin Suisui had come personally, so he didn’t ask further and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial City government.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” As Lu Ze reached out to help Lin Suisui up, he looked at her in confusion and asked, “I just came back from outside and heard that you sent two suspected northern barbarian spies over. Before I could interrogate them, you came over.”
“I’m 90% sure that those two people are northern barbarian spies.” Lin Suisui directly voiced her suspicion. “But I have a strange feeling that these two people are targeting our medical center, or rather, me.”
Upon hearing Lin Sui’s words, Lu Ze became interested. He looked up at her and asked softly, “Why do you have such thoughts?”
“If those two people were only entrusted to sneak into the empire to investigate, they would have countless ways to sneak in silently. They wouldn’t have used such an idea that couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
They used voodoo on the members of those caravans, probably to let the city defense camp discover them and use them to find doctors who could treat such illnesses.
“Based on the relationship between our medical center and the government, what would you choose?”
“Send patients to our medical center for treatment.” Lu Ze replied without thinking, “After all, your medical skills have also been praised by many people and everyone is willing to trust you.”
“Then, they came to our side just like that.” Lin Suisui smiled at Lu Ze. She was very impressed with this arrangement.
After all, they had put in a lot of effort in coming up with this plan.
“After they entered the medical center, it was almost impossible for Doctor Luo and the others to resolve such a difficult illness that they had never seen before. Therefore, after Doctor Luo realized that he was helpless about the illness, he sent people to me to get reinforcements.”
Lin Suisui analyzed the various developments she could think of. “I don’t know if I’m overthinking things, but I really think that these two people’s target this time is me.”
After Lu Ze listened for a while, he thought about it carefully before nodding in agreement with Lin Sui. “You’re right. It’s best to be careful.”
“How about this? If there’s nothing else, go home and rest first. I’ll interrogate those two people now. No matter what, the most important thing is to get them to talk first.”
Hearing that Lu Ze had no intention of refuting her and had already begun to arrange for an interrogation, Lin Suisui didn’t waste Lu Ze’s time or even enter Lu Ze’s spacious study. She turned around and left the Imperial City government’s carriage to go home under the protection of Su Le, Bai Guo, and the others.
Recently, many prisoners had been interrogated in the Imperial City government, but Lu Ze wasn’t Pei Qian, so he actually wasn’t keen on extorting confessions.
Therefore, under most circumstances, the important people would be handed over to Pei Qian for interrogation. However, he didn’t intend to hand the two men sent over by Lin Suisui to Pei Qian this time. Instead, he planned to interrogate them himself.
This piqued Pei Qian’s curiosity. He couldn’t even be bothered with the criminals he had yet to deal with and he carried a small teapot as he walked into the interrogation room where Lu Ze was.
“You’re usually afraid that you’ll get stained with blood if you do the interrogation yourself, so why are you doing it yourself today?” Pei Qian sat on a round chair at the side as he watched Lu Ze choose torture tools on the table by the wall.
“What did these two people do to you? Why are you so hostile to them?”
Seeing that Lu Ze was silent, Pei Qian became even more curious and he continued to ask, “Why? Were they rude to Madam Liu?”
“Sui Sui said that these two people are northern barbarian spies.”
Lu Ze pointed out the torture device to Su Qi, who was waiting beside him. Then, he turned around and looked at Pei Qian as he replied calmly, “Their target is Sui Sui.
Although there’s no concrete evidence for the time being, Sui Sui’s doubts make sense.
“In that case, I want to ask who instructed these two people to approach the medical center!”
