Qincheng Prison has a layout design with distinct functional divisions and a strict security structure.

Its overall planning originated from the Soviet aid project in the 20s. It was one of 50 secret projects. After it was officially opened in 157, it was expanded several times and reached its current size.

While walking, Li Xiangnan was observing everything that passed by.

On the side, the prison director He Yong and the political commissar Wang Hebing were also there, introducing the situation of the prison.

"...Over there is the prison's living quarters, home to prison administrators and their families. This area is the management area, including the infirmary, offices, logistics, and some interrogation facilities. Further back, where we're headed, is the prison ward..."

Li Xiangnan nodded and stopped at the door of a corridor. The prison guard nervously helped to open the iron door.

He examined the iron door: an outer iron-clad wooden door, always closed, and an inner iron gate, always open. He peered into the cell in the corridor: the wooden door had an observation hole and a window for food delivery.

Instead of entering the prison area, he signaled the prison guard to open the ventilation vent and walked into the large activity area.

The open-air playground is very spacious and is equipped with many exercise facilities. There are also many stone benches for resting densely packed around the playground.

Looking up, they saw a watchtower at each corner of the five-meter-high wall. Inside, armed prison guards were staring at Li Xiangnan and his group with a fierce look.

Pointing to four prison cells not far away, Li Xiangnan asked, "Are those buildings also prison areas? Are they used to hold prisoners?"

Wang Hebing wiped his sweat and said, "In 60, there were only those four prison buildings. The ones that followed were expanded in 67."

Seeing the big words A, B, C, and D written on the prison building from afar, Li Xiangnan nodded slightly.

He Yong stood behind him, always nervous wherever Li Xiangnan went. His inner fear came from Li Xiangnan's reputation.

From Song Yingxin's words just now, he already knew that Li Xiangnan was a criminal investigation consultant for the Municipal Public Security Bureau and had handled several major cases. He was a real expert.

Now seeing that Guo Qian and his team members were extremely respectful to Li Xiangnan, his heart was really beating fast.

Fear is secondary. The main thing is that I am really afraid of finding out something and pointing the evidence to the prison.

He is the warden of the prison and is naturally the person primarily responsible.

So he tugged at the political commissar's clothes, winked secretly, and followed Li Xiangnan to his side. He continued to introduce the prison enthusiastically and flatteringly: "Our Qincheng Prison has ordinary cells and high-level cells. In that area, there is also a separate prison building specifically for detaining high-level prisoners..."

"Where is Shen Yujing being held? Is it in the ordinary prison area?"

Li Xiangnan waited for him to pause and then asked.

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

"It's the high-level prison area!" He Yong replied with cold sweat on his face.

He was a little unsure of Li Xiangnan's approach.

Logically speaking, since Shen Yujing was rescued, after Song Yingxin gave him the task, he should have rushed to the scene of the incident - the prison to investigate the case!

But Li Xiangnan walked along the road leisurely, stopping and starting, looking around, asking questions, as if he was coming...

It's like visiting!

He Yong had never seen a police officer strolling around so leisurely!

On the way, he made eye contact with Wang Hebing several times, and looked at Chief Wen of the Discipline Inspection Commission and Director Fei of the Procuratorate. He knew that they were just as puzzled by Li Xiangnan's behavior as he was.

But what puzzled him even more was that after asking Shen Yujing, Li Xiangnan's speed suddenly increased. In less than two minutes, he asked the prison guard to lead the way and led him to Shen Yujing's high-level cell.

This really left He Yonghe and his colleagues confused.

Li Xiangnan's behavior was completely unconventional.

"liberal arts!"

At this time, Rudenko's greeting awakened He Yong's thoughts.

Wen Xianping, standing by, had already begun introducing them. "Advisor Li, this is Lu Dengke, the deputy chief of the Discipline Inspection Section of the Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

"Nice to meet you!" Li Xiangnan nodded at him, looked around, and asked, "Since Shen Yujing's accident, no one has gone in again, right?"

"No, absolutely not! We have been here the whole time! No one is approaching!" A tall prison guard on the side immediately raised his hand to answer.

The tone of eagerness to prove something made Li Xiangnan look at him twice, but his eyes soon fell on Rudenko's face.

"Advisor Li, when we came here, the four of them were indeed guarding the door, and they were very well-behaved!" Rudenko also helped explain.

Li Xiangnan nodded and extended his hand to Guo Qian, "Captain Guo, we from the Municipal Bureau will go in. No one else should enter the scene!"

Rudenko glanced at Wen Xianping, who nodded slightly.

"Xiao Wei!" Guo Qian hurriedly called Wei Jingfei.

"I've brought everything, I've brought everything!" Wei Jingfei took out his shoulder bag and took out a hood, shoe covers, and gloves from it, very professionally.

This was a special requirement that Li Xiangnan later made after he instructed them to set up the Forensic Department, which was to prevent the team members' biological traces from interfering with the crime scene.

Upon seeing this situation, Wen Xianping, He Yong, Wang Hebing and others were a little surprised. They did not expect that the police officers of the Municipal Bureau were so professional.

And he really obeys Li Xiangnan's orders.

Others haven't noticed it yet, but Guo Qian is the captain of a team, and even he has no resistance to Li Xiangnan's orders. This is intriguing!

While everyone was still in shock, Li Xiangnan had already led his men into the prison.

The cell was not big, only about 20 square meters, and the floor was a mess.

The scattered food and water were mixed together, the iron plate was upside down on the ground, and the stainless steel spoon and bowl were rolling in the corner.

The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There was a cement bed with a rolled-up bedding on it, which was just a single bed. There was a squat toilet and a faucet next to it, and a wooden board separated the two areas.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

"Captain Guo, take samples of the rice, vegetables, water, and tableware, and have Old Wei drive them to the Chemistry Department of Yanda immediately! Tell them to look for zinc phosphide!"

"Yes!" Guo Qian waved his hand and shouted, "Jingfei, team up with Xiaoliu! Hurry! Take samples immediately!"

"Got it!" Wei Jingfei agreed immediately.

The team members nearby also came to help.

Soon, Wei Jingfei and the other man left, and the others searched the room for valuable clues.

"Superintendent He, in this high-level prison area tonight, only Shen Yujing had an accident?"

But Li Xiangnan was not idle. While looking for clues, he approached the cell door and chatted with the warden He Yong seemingly casually.

"Ah... yes, that's right!" He Yong was stunned by the sudden question and answered quickly.

Li Xiangnan nodded and asked, "So Shen Yujing's meals are delivered separately?"

"At the beginning..."

As soon as He Yong finished speaking, Wang Hebing said, "After Shen Yujing was sent a letter last time, we paid special attention to him! Even his meals were prepared by a designated person, so that if something goes wrong, we can just go to that chef! So..."

He stopped talking here, but everyone, including Li Xiangnan, knew what he meant!

There will be no problem with Shen Yujing's food!

No one would be so stupid as to drug Shen Yujing after being watched by thousands of people!

Then this matter is strange!

Li Xiangnan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

A dozen people searched everything, even the only air vent, and felt the wire with their hands, but they found nothing.

"Advisor Li, this..."

By the end of the search, Guo Qian's brows had already been furrowed into a "川" shape. He found nothing, and there were more things to write about. He glanced at He Yong, Wang Hebing and Wen Xianping who were standing at the door and looking at him eagerly, and didn't know how to start.

"Brother Nan!"

At this time Song Zimo came back in a hurry.

Li Xiangnan exchanged glances with Guo Qian, then waved and called out, "Zimo, did you get the camera?"

"I got it. I told my sister-in-law that you will probably be here for the next few days! What are you going to do with it?" Song Zimo stood at the door of the cell. Seeing that everyone in the room was dressed so seriously, he didn't dare to go in.

"Take a picture!" Li Xiangnan pointed at the cell. "Everyone, restore everything and get out!"

Everyone did as they were told, confused.

Song Zimo then put on shoe covers, a hood and gloves and went in. Following Li Xiangnan's instructions, he took photos in dozens of places.

Li Xiangnan's behavior left everyone confused.

Guo Qian couldn't help it and kept giving him glances.

"Superintendent He, is our temporary office ready for the case?"

"Okay, okay!" He Yong replied, wiping the sweat off his face.

"Alright! Captain Guo, leave two public security comrades to guard this cell and form a team with the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the prison. The rest of you can disperse! Get a good rest tonight, and we'll talk tomorrow if anything happens!"

Li Xiangnan waved his hand and dispersed the team.

After they separated, Guo Qian came up and whispered, "Advisor Li, did you discover something?"

"Go to the office and tell it!"

"it is good!"
