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

"Hopefully, this time it goes better," Lin Xiao prayed silently as he watched Sheng Nanting depart. As night fell and the city lights dimmed, Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen quickly rushed to the new case scene. It was an old warehouse area, and the air was filled with the smell of rusted metal and a damp, musty air. Several residents nearby were gathered nearby, whispering to each other.

"Hey, do you think that young man is a policeman? I heard something happened here." An old lady in pajamas whispered to the person next to her.

"That's right. Who would come here this late at night for nothing?" another uncle agreed. "It's been really troubled here lately."

At the same time, Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen had already arrived at the cordon, where two police officers were guarding. They showed their ID to Sheng Nanting and were allowed to enter the scene.

"What's it like inside?" Sheng Nanting asked the guarding police while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"It's hard to put it into words..." The police shook his head. "The scene was quite chaotic, but we didn't find any witnesses or useful clues."

Inside the warehouse, the already dilapidated space now seemed even more desolate. A few beams of light filtered through the dilapidated windows, casting irregular patches of light on the floor. The various posters hanging on the walls and the boxes scattered on the floor gave the space a mysterious feel. In the center of the room, a pile of clearly rummaged-through cardboard boxes lay.

Just as the two were about to start searching, they suddenly heard light footsteps behind them. They turned around in fright, only to see a young girl hurriedly running in from outside and saying, "I'm sorry... I just saw someone sneaking in here!"

"What did you say?" Sheng Nanting suddenly became alert and quickly approached the girl and asked.

"Really? I'm not lying!" the girl said nervously, gesturing in a direction. "That guy was wearing a mask, with only his eyes showing. He looked sneaky, and I was afraid he was a bad guy."

After hearing this, the two immediately decided to investigate. Following the girl's directions, they found some suspicious traces deep within the warehouse: a half-hidden secret passageway with the door ajar, and darkness within. Just then, Lin Xiao's voice came over the intercom.

"Sheng Nanting, how are things going over there? Have you found anything?"

"We found a secret exit, and it seems that someone is still active inside." Sheng Nanting replied and briefly described the situation.

"Be careful and keep in touch at any time." Lin Xiao gave this reminder and ended the call.

Sheng Nanting and Lawyer Chen proceeded cautiously, leaving numerous landmarks along the way for a quick retreat. Finally, after a narrow, winding corridor, they arrived at a secluded small room. The room was dimly lit, but one could still vaguely make out a large number of filing cabinets and some electronic equipment.

"This... this is simply a small intelligence station." Lawyer Chen sighed.

Just as they were about to investigate further, they heard the sound of a door opening. Almost instantly, Sheng Nanting pulled Lawyer Chen aside and hid. Then, a tall figure entered the room.

"Have you completed everything the boss asked you to do?" the man asked another guy hiding in the shadows.

"It's basically okay, but it seems like someone is following us." The man in the darkness replied, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

"Huh?! Who's so bold as to seek death?" The other party was obviously angry when he heard this. "Hurry and get rid of these people for me."

After that, he walked straight to the computer screen, as if to operate something. At this critical moment, Sheng Nanting realized that he could not wait any longer, so he quietly approached the enemy from behind and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

At the same time, Lawyer Chen also successfully subdued another gangster. Together, the two of them controlled the two suspects and began to conduct preliminary interrogations on them.

"What kind of organization are you? Why are you doing this?" Sheng Nanting asked coldly.

One of the suspects reluctantly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. "We...were merely being used. The true mastermind behind this is far more powerful than you imagine..."

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao and Lu Yining also successfully obtained important clues about Li Ming's whereabouts. Just when everyone thought victory was imminent, another piece of unexpected news broke the peace - unusual events occurred again in the city...

"It seems that this battle is far from over." Lin Xiao looked at the information in his hand with a frown.

"Then what should we do now?" Lu Yining looked at Lin Xiao anxiously.

"Let's go back and report the situation first, and then make plans for the next step." Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said firmly, "No matter how strong the opponent is, we can't give up."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Lu Yining nodded in agreement.

And so, filled with doubt and determination, the four set out on their journey home. But no one could predict the challenges they would face. As night deepened, the city's tranquility was shattered by a burst of rapid sirens. Outside the warehouse district, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few curious and courageous residents watching from afar.

"This guy is quite skilled. He was able to subdue two bad guys silently." An old man in an old jacket murmured in admiration. "I guess they must be police officers, but this is the first time I've seen them move so quickly."

"Yeah, that's awesome!" the vendor next to me chimed in. "I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but it was resolved so quickly. I really hope our community has more heroes like this."

Meanwhile, Sheng Nanting and Attorney Chen had concluded their preliminary interrogation of the suspects. Although the two gangsters confessed that they were part of a small criminal organization, they knew little about the identity of the mastermind behind the operation.

"It seems we have only touched the tip of the iceberg." Sheng Nanting frowned and said, "The real enemy is still hiding in the dark."

"Then what should we do now?" Lawyer Chen looked at Sheng Nanting and asked.

"First, we need to bring these two guys back to the bureau, and then study these documents carefully." Sheng Nanting said in a deep voice, "Maybe we can find more clues from them."

Just as they were about to leave with the suspect, they heard a commotion outside the door, and then a young police officer rushed into the room, breathless.
