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

"What clue?"

"There must be something wrong with that Li Qiang!"

"and then?"

"Then...then we knew there was something wrong with him!"

Ye Fan held his forehead: "What kind of detective are you?"

"Don't worry, detective work takes time. Look at the detectives in those TV shows. Which one doesn't solve the case in the last episode?"

"That's because the screenwriter wants to make up the number of episodes!"

"At any rate, we have a direction now, don't we?"

Although Zhao Daming, the "super detective," wasn't entirely reliable, he did have a point. At least now they had a suspicious target.

"Then what should we do next?" Lin Hao asked.

"I think we should continue investigating this Li Qiang." Ye Fan said, "Since he is from Yun Guiren, we can start from this direction."

"How to get started?"

"I'll try to check his background."

"Do you need my help?" Zhao Daming immediately raised his hand: "My detective skills haven't been fully utilized yet!"

"You'd better forget it." Ye Fan shook his head: "I have my own way."

In fact, Ye Fan already had a guess in his mind. The people in Yunnan and Guizhou did have a tradition of handling various poisons. If Li Qiang really came here to retaliate against the hospital, then there must be something wrong with his identity and background.

All that remains to be done now is to confirm this conjecture.

The next morning, Ye Fan began his investigation.

He first found the hospital's personnel department and asked for Li Qiang's employment information as a friend.

"Li Qiang? He arrived last month," said Xiao Zhang from the Human Resources Department. "He said he came from Yunnan and Guizhou to work there. He seems quite honest."

"Do you still have his resume?"

"Of course I'll keep it." Xiao Zhang flipped through the file: "Here, take a look."

Ye Fan took the resume and looked at it. It contained Li Qiang's basic information: 27 years old, from a county in Yunnan and Guizhou Province, with a junior high school education, and had previously worked in other places.

"Did he mention anything about the situation at home?"

"I think he said his brother died a few years ago, and now he's all alone."

"His brother?" Ye Fan's heart moved: "How did his brother die?"

"I don't know about that. He didn't explain it in detail."

Ye Fan asked a few more questions, but didn't get any more useful information.

After leaving the Human Resources Department, Ye Fan decided to change his mind. Since Li Qiang said his brother had passed away, and he seemed hostile to the hospital, could his brother's death be related to the hospital?

He found the hospital's medical records room.

"I want to check the medical records from a few years ago." Ye Fan said to the staff in the archives room.

"What medical records are you looking for?"

"Li, a noble lady from Yun, about three or four years ago."

"Do you have any authority to view medical records?"

"I'm a doctor." Ye Fan took out his medical certificate.

The staff member took a look and nodded: "Then you can look for it yourself. The medical records from three or four years ago are in the cabinet over there."

Ye Fan began to look through the medical records, searching by time and surname.

His hard work paid off, and he finally found a key medical record.

Patient's name: Li Daqiang

Age: 29 years old

Native place: A county in Yunnan and Guizhou Province

Date of admission: One day three years ago

Discharge time: Death

Ye Fan carefully looked at the medical records and found that Li Daqiang was sent to the hospital because of acute poisoning, but his condition was already very serious when he was sent. The hospital performed emergency treatment, but ultimately failed to save him.

There is also a note on the medical record: the rescue process was delayed because the patient's family did not pay the medical expenses in time.

Seeing this, Ye Fan basically understood the whole story.

Li Qiang's brother, Li Daqiang, was taken to the hospital three years ago due to poisoning, but due to lack of medical expenses, treatment was delayed and he eventually died. Li Qiang always believed that it was the hospital's fault and held a grudge against him. This time he came to work at the hospital to seek revenge.

Ye Fan took the medical records and found the attending physician at the time.

"Doctor Wang, do you still remember this patient?"

Doctor Wang looked at the medical records and nodded: "I remember that when this patient was brought in, his condition was very serious and he was severely poisoned."

"The medical record says that rescue was delayed?"

"Yes, the patient's family couldn't afford the medical expenses at the time, so we contacted the relevant departments, but it took some time. Although emergency treatment was finally performed, it did delay the optimal treatment time."

"If there had been no delay, could it have been saved?"

Doctor Wang shook his head. "It's hard to say. He's too deeply poisoned. Even if we try to save him right away, the success rate won't be high."

“But the family members don’t think so?”

"Yes, the patient's younger brother was very emotional at the time and said that if the hospital had not ignored his brother, he would not have died."

"What's that brother's name?"

"I think his name is Li Qiang."

Everything is right!

Ye Fan immediately rushed back to the hospital and found Lin Hao and Zhao Daming.

"How is it? Have you found anything?" Lin Hao asked.

"Found out!" Ye Fan told them the results of his investigation.

"I see!" Lin Hao suddenly realized: "So this Li Qiang came here to take revenge on the hospital!"

"That's right." Ye Fan nodded: "Now we need to talk to him."

"I discovered something too!" Zhao Daming suddenly jumped out: "I followed Li Qiang last night!"

"Why are you following him?"

"This is a basic detective skill!" Zhao Daming said proudly, "I found out he goes to a certain place at night!"

"Where?"

"A very hidden warehouse. He seemed to be preparing something there."

Ye Fan and Lin Hao looked at each other. This news was very important.

"Did you see what he was preparing?"

"No, it was too far away. But I took a picture!"

Zhao Daming took out his phone and showed them a photo. The photo was blurry, but it showed Li Qiang tinkering with something in a warehouse.

"Let's go find him now." Ye Fan said.

The three of them came to the back door of the hospital, but Li Qiang was not in the duty room.

"Where did Li Qiang go?" Ye Fan asked another security guard.

"He said he had something to do and asked for leave."

"When did you leave?"

"I just left not long ago."

"Oh no, he might have noticed something." Ye Fan frowned: "Let's go to that warehouse and take a look."

Following Zhao Daming's guidance, the three of them arrived at the warehouse.

The door of the warehouse was locked, but Ye Fan found that the lock had been pried open.

"It looks like he just left."

The three of them entered the warehouse, which contained some simple experimental equipment and some bottles and jars.

"What are these?" Lin Hao asked, pointing at the bottles.

Ye Fan checked it out: "These should be equipment for extracting toxins."

"toxin?"

"Yes, the people in Yunnan and Guizhou do know how to extract toxins from various plants and animals. It looks like Li Qiang is making poison here."
