I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Outside the factory, onlookers continued to chatter, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air. A young man, looking at the flashing police lights not far away, excitedly said, "These people are amazing! They're like heroes in a movie!"

"Yes, they just solved a major case and are now rushing to another scene without stopping." An old lady next to them echoed, her eyes full of admiration.

"I hope they can successfully resolve this incident," an elderly woman said, clasping her hands together in prayer. "This city needs guardians like them."

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao and his team had arrived at the explosion site in the abandoned warehouse. Smoke billowed, flames shot up into the sky, and the scene was in chaos. Sirens blared from all around, as police cars and fire trucks continued to blare. Rescue efforts proceeded intensively and in an orderly manner.

"What's the situation?" Lin Xiao asked with a frown, his eyes fixed on the ruins.

"The specific circumstances are still unclear, but witnesses said they saw some suspicious people fleeing the scene," the police at the scene reported.

"We must find clues as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from being harmed." Sheng Nanting said firmly.

"It's too chaotic here. Let's split up." Lu Yining suggested, "Lin Xiao, you and I will go check the scene together. Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen will go interview the witnesses around."

"Okay, everyone be careful." Lin Xiao nodded, and the few of them quickly dispersed.

Lin Xiao and Lu Yining put on gloves and carefully searched for clues in the ruins. Suddenly, Lin Xiao found a burnt photo with a familiar face vaguely visible on it.

"This is..." Lin Xiao picked up the photo in surprise and examined it carefully.

"Who is this? Any clues?" Lu Yining asked.

"This is an old photo. The person in it seems to be a businessman named Li Ming." Lin Xiao recalled, "He once had some connection with Ye Ying."

"Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?" Lu Yining pondered.

"It's very likely. We must investigate further." Lin Xiao nodded and put the photo into the evidence bag.

On the other side, Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen were questioning a witness.

"Excuse me, have you seen anyone suspicious?" Sheng Nanting asked.

"Yes, I saw several people in black clothes, holding something in their hands, and then there was an explosion," the witness said tremblingly.

"Which direction did they escape in?" Lawyer Chen asked.

"They ran to the alley to the east." The witness pointed to an alley in the distance.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Sheng Nanting said gratefully, and then quickly reunited with Lin Xiao and Lu Yining.

"We found a new clue, which may be related to Ye Ying." Lin Xiao handed the photo to Sheng Nanting.

"We also found witnesses who mentioned that several suspects fled into the alley to the east," Sheng Nanting added.

"Then let's go there and take a look." Lu Yining said.

They quickly passed through the ruins and arrived at the entrance of the alley. The alley was shrouded in darkness, and it was dark and eerie, with only a few dim streetlights barely illuminating the way ahead.

"Everyone be careful, there may be an ambush here." Lin Xiao reminded.

"Okay, we are ready to respond at any time." Sheng Nanting replied.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard, and several men in black rushed out from the darkness, holding weapons and attacking them.

"Be careful, the enemy is coming!" Lu Yining shouted loudly.

The four quickly drew their weapons and launched a counterattack. In the darkness, gunfire rang out, and the battle was fierce. Lin Xiao and Lu Yining, with their exceptional skill and nimble dodging, withstood the enemy's attacks.

"These people are not ordinary thugs, they are well-trained." Lin Xiao said calmly.

"We can't let them succeed!" Lu Yining replied firmly.

The battle lasted for a long time, and finally, they succeeded in defeating the men in black. One of the men in black had a strange smile on his face as he fell.

"This is just the beginning..." His voice gradually faded into the night.

"What on earth is going on?" Sheng Nanting looked at the man in black lying on the ground with a frown.

"We can't stop. We must find out the truth as soon as possible." Lin Xiao said firmly.

"Yes, everything has just begun." Lu Yining agreed.

As the sirens of the police cars faded into the night, the four knew that more dangers were waiting for them, but they would not back down.

"No matter what, we must uncover this dark secret and protect everyone's safety." Lin Xiao said with a firm look in his eyes.

"No matter how big the difficulties are, we will face them together." Lu Yining said firmly.

"We can definitely solve all this." Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen nodded in agreement.

"What should we do next?" Lu Yining asked.

"Let's take this evidence back to the bureau for a thorough investigation," Lin Xiao said. "At the same time, we need to strengthen surveillance of the surrounding area to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Okay, let's do it." Sheng Nanting nodded in agreement.

At this moment, in a corner not far away, a pair of eyes were quietly observing all this. It was a figure hidden in the darkness, with a hint of a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"The game has just begun..." the man whispered, then disappeared silently into the night.

Lin Xiao, Lu Yining, Sheng Nanting, and Attorney Chen returned to the jingju and began analyzing the evidence they had collected, organizing photos, eyewitness testimonies, and video footage of the scene.

"Who is Li Ming in this photo?" Lawyer Chen asked, carefully studying the burnt photo.

"He was once a successful businessman, but was later involved in an economic case and is said to have close ties with Ye Ying," Lu Yining explained.

"It seems we must investigate his background in depth," Lin Xiao said, "perhaps we can find more clues from it."

"I agree." Sheng Nanting nodded, "However, we are still short of one person. We need technical support."

"Director Li from the technical department should be able to help." Lu Yining suggested.

"Okay, let's contact him now." Lin Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Director Li's number.

"Hello, Director Li, we urgently need your help. We need information about a businessman named Li Ming." Lin Xiao said.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Director Li's voice sounded very professional.

A few minutes later, Director Li came to the office. He brought a computer and began to retrieve relevant information.

"Li Ming is indeed an unusual person," Director Li said as he tapped away at his keyboard. "He has connections with multiple underground organizations, and the flow of funds is extremely complex."
