#900 - Chapter 900: Sophistry
“This report is an analysis of the autopsies conducted on the deceased infected individuals from Sector 14! Take a look for yourselves!”
Zhao Ling calmly pointed to a document on the table, signaling the people from Sector 14 to examine it!
!!!?
The Sector 14负责人 (fù zé rén, person in charge/responsible person) looked puzzled and nervous. The current situation didn't seem like a commendation; it felt more like an inquiry!
He was already a bit annoyed by Huang Xiaoyue's unauthorized actions, and Zhao Ling's move only made him more uneasy.
However,
compared to the 负责人's mere unease, Huang Xiaoyue and her fellow female fighters behind him visibly stiffened!
Damn it!!!
Green Source Base actually performed autopsies on those dead bugs!?
Did they have nothing better to do!?
How could they be so bored!!
Even Huang Xiaoyue, who had just "showcased" herself, looked noticeably grim.
She knew that those corpses inevitably contained certain things...
“Hurry up and take a look. Give me a response after you've read it!”
Zhao Ling urged again.
“........”
The 负责人 hesitated, glanced around, and finally mustered the courage to pick up the paper document and read it.
As he examined it, his already poor complexion worsened!
Damn it!
What was written in this report!?
They had actually detected detergent成分 (chéng fèn, ingredient/component) in the blood of the deceased from Sector 14!!!
How was that possible!!?
“This…”
The 负责人 was speechless!
Looking at Minister Zhao across from him, waiting for his reply, and the Green Source leader who seemed indifferent to the matter, as well as the Green Source members beside the reception room with their arms behind their backs, as if they were ready to draw their weapons at any moment, the 负责人 knew things were serious!
Murder!!
Most of the deceased infected individuals in Sector 14 had been found to have components harmful to the human body!
Plop—
His legs weakened, and the 负责人 couldn't hold on any longer, collapsing to the ground.
Even if he wasn't involved in anything, he definitely couldn't escape the blame for incompetence!
“Let the others in the back take a look too! Who exactly did this!?”
Zhao Ling no longer showed a friendly face, her tone noticeably colder, as she spoke to the support personnel behind the 负责人 who were still somewhat clueless.
The people behind mustered their courage and took the analysis report, their faces growing increasingly pale as they read it.
Sector 14 was in trouble!
Those deceased infected individuals had likely been murdered!
This was a major issue!
Forget about the commendation they had been fantasizing about; with something like this coming out, they were highly likely to be implicated.
Who was so bold as to take such deadly action while the base was doing everything it could to save the infected!?
Did they not want to live anymore!?
All the support personnel who saw the report underwent a dramatic change in expression, feeling apprehensive about what they were about to face.
The visitors were ill-intentioned.
“Everyone has seen it, right?”
“Someone in Sector 14 deliberately poisoned those infected individuals who shouldn't have died. As the people who had the most contact with the infected at the time, shouldn't you explain what the reason for this is!?”
“As far as I know, the so-called detergent成分 (chéng fèn, ingredient/component) that was tested from those corpses is dish soap!”
“Dish soap entering the bloodstream can cause a violent reaction in the human body. It starts with pain in the upper limbs, followed by nausea, vomiting, and other uncomfortable symptoms! Eventually, it can develop into organ failure and impaired blood clotting! Isn't this similar to the acute outbreak of the Moth Virus!?”
“Or do you think there was a medical accident in Sector 14, and the saline solution or medicine provided by headquarters had problems!?”
“Come on, who can give me an answer? I can take the responsibility of exempting them!”
Zhao Ling stood up, walked in front of the group of support personnel, and said with an icy expression.
So headquarters had already performed autopsies on those deceased infected individuals, and sure enough, they found that the large number of deaths in Sector 14 was really problematic!
It was suspected that someone poisoned those infected individuals, leading to their deaths!
This was definitely a big deal!
Her gaze swept over the pale-faced Sector 负责人 on the ground, then continued to move across the faces of the other support personnel, like a sharp knife cutting across their skin, making them feel a sharp pain.
This was the pressure and questioning from a high-ranking individual.
Of course.
It was basically impossible for anyone to answer her inquiry at this time.
Because.
The, or those, culprits who caused the large number of deaths in Sector 14 were right here!
“Huang Xiaoyue!”
She suddenly mentioned a name.
The person who had been forcibly concealing her unease after a moment of horror, trembled and looked incredulously at Zhao Ling, who had called her name.
“Chen Weiru!”
“Li Shufen!”
......
Zhao Ling said five or six female names in one breath!
They were clearly the group of female fighter sisters!
“The ones whose names I mentioned above, please stand up!”
“According to our monitoring and records, you were the ones responsible for taking care of those abnormally deceased patients before they died. Can you please tell us why detergent substances were found in those corpses?”
Zhao Ling didn't pretend anymore, directly pointing out the important clues that had just been discovered!
Most of those deceased patients had been found to have toxic substances in their bodies; only a small portion were normal, which meant that the abnormal number of deaths in Sector 14 was completely caused by humans!
And the last people to come into contact with those deceased were the people whose names had been mentioned above.
The situation was relatively clear. After obtaining the general results, Zhao Ling decided to summon this batch of support personnel from Sector 14.
To confront these people who were possibly the murderers face to face!
“!!!”
The freckled woman whose name was called turned ashen and collapsed to the ground, even more completely limp than the Sector 负责人.
She, who was not mentally strong to begin with, couldn't withstand Minister Zhao's aggressive questioning, as well as the serious consequences she could imagine after being caught.
The other support personnel beside them who didn't hear their names naturally quickly moved away to draw a line.
Regardless of whether or not they confessed, the women whose names were mentioned all looked horrified.
They couldn't have imagined that just recently, after Yue-jie's reassurance, they felt that there was no problem, but then they were summoned by headquarters and directly exposed the secret.
Faced with the naked evidence and Minister Zhao's direct questioning, these ordinary women were completely speechless.
Only one person!
Huang Xiaoyue!
After a moment of horror, she quickly regained her composure, glanced at the unhelpful freckled woman, as well as the other sisters who didn't dare to argue, and she was worried that these accomplices wouldn't be able to withstand the mental test, so she decided to break the opponent's momentum first.
“Minister Zhao, this is a misunderstanding!”
“We are just a few weak women; how could we commit such a terrifying act!?”
“There must be something wrong! Please be sure to investigate and clear our names!”
