After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Vice Principal Chen, are you... are you sure?"

Du Zhongjing's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he kept adjusting his glasses, with cold sweat starting to appear on his forehead.

"Director Du, are you questioning my medical skills?"

Chen Yizhen looked at Du Zhongjing, his face darkening.

Don't be fooled by Dr. Chen's respectful and humble demeanor in front of Ye Bai; it's only because he's completely impressed by Ye Bai's medical skills.

In fact, with his reputation as a renowned doctor in Jingzhou, Chen Yizhen's aura was quite powerful.

Once they get angry, these medical school professors simply can't handle it.

Du Zhongjing broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shook his head, saying, "Vice Principal Chen is joking. I am not qualified at all..."

Although he is usually arrogant and rarely pays attention to others, he does consider who the other person is.

He certainly didn't need to pay attention to an unknown nobody like Ye Bai.

Even though Song Fuling was also a department head, Du Zhongjing could still surpass her because she was younger and her status and reputation in the medical field were not as good as his.

But who is Chen Yizhen?

Whether in terms of fame or status, they far surpass him!

More importantly, he was his boss!

Faced with the truth that "a local official is more powerful than a distant one," Du Zhongjing had no choice but to play the subservient role!

The other professors were also well aware of this, so at this moment, even Hua Zhenghao, the guy who loved to cause trouble the most, obediently chose to keep quiet.

Fortunately, they were all from the same school, and the camaraderie they shared was still there. Chen Yizhen didn't press the issue further, but simply said coldly, "Since that's the case, even if Teacher Ye has passed the trial lecture and is qualified to teach, does anyone have any objections?"

This time, no one objected, and many nodded in agreement. Du Zhongjing and Hua Zhenghao also wisely chose to remain silent.

They weren't stupid; they knew that if they jumped out at this time, they would become the target of public criticism, so they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

"Principal Chen, can you tell what kind of poison this is?"

Yu Anqi, too lazy to get involved in the professors' farce, looked at Chen Yizhen with a serious expression and asked.

Since Dong Yang died from poisoning, it can be basically determined that it was a homicide.

No one would take poison before hanging themselves when they want to end their life; that would be completely unnecessary and pointless.

Since it was murder, there must be a killer.

However, there were basically no useful clues left at the scene. Identifying the composition of the poison is a very important direction for solving the case.

"I can't tell at the moment; it needs to be sent for testing to be clear. Director Song, you are an authority in traditional Chinese medicine; can you identify it?"

Chen Yizhen shook his head and looked at Song Fuling. Although he had a wealth of clinical experience, he followed the path of Western medicine. It was already quite good that he could tell that the body had died of poisoning; how could he possibly identify the type of poison?

However, Song Fuling, the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is much more capable than him in this field, even though she is young.

Unfortunately, Song Fuling clearly hadn't reached that level either. Hearing this, she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Sorry, I can't tell either..."

"So Western medical tests are still the most reliable!"

Someone muttered under their breath, but Hua Zhenghao couldn't resist taking the opportunity to reiterate his view that Western medicine is better than traditional Chinese medicine.

The debate over whether traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine is superior has raged for decades.

However, it is undeniable that with the tremendous development of science and technology, Western medicine has begun to surpass traditional Chinese medicine, which is an indisputable fact.

However, Hua Zhenghao's choice to say these things at this time had little to do with these matters; he simply wanted to mock Ye Bai.

Because the other party is also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, Ye Bai completely ignored his provocative words and continued to squat on the ground, staring at the corpse.

"Teacher Ye, can you tell anything?"

Seeing that Ye Bai hadn't looked away, Yu Anqi's heart stirred, and she went over to ask.

The tests take time, and if we can find a direction before then, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the investigation.

"This is snake venom, and from a rare type of snake called 'Three-Breath Annihilation.' After being poisoned, one won't survive more than three breaths..."

Ye Bai nodded, his eyes turning strange.

"Three Breaths Annihilation? What a strange name! Are there any venomous snake species with that name?"

Yu Anqi was taken aback, and Chen Yizhen and the others looked at each other, realizing that they couldn't understand what Ye Bai was saying at all.

They are all people in the medical field, even if they are Western doctors, they are not unfamiliar with snake venom.

The number of people bitten by venomous snakes every year is not small, including many highly venomous species such as cobras and pit vipers, but the species known as "Three Breaths Annihilation" has never been found among them.

Otherwise, they would never forget such a strange name once they heard it.

After a moment of stunned silence, Hua Zhenghao couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Teacher Ye, you're not just making up a name to fool us, are you? I've never heard of such a snake before."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this kind of venomous snake can only be found in one place."

Ye Bai shook his head; he was actually quite puzzled as well.

It's quite strange that a unique type of snake from that nameless mountain has appeared in Jingzhou.

However, it's not entirely impossible, since even if a venomous snake can't escape, it can still carry its venom out.

What is the point of using such an extremely precious and highly toxic substance to kill an ordinary medical student?

If Ye Bai remembered correctly, the price of the snake venom that could be destroyed in three breaths was absolutely astronomical on the black market.

One milligram can contain millions of units!

This is equivalent to molten gold scalding a person to death. Wouldn't it be better to hire a hitman if you had that much money?

Ye Bai couldn't figure it out, and in the end, he was too lazy to waste his brain cells.

It's better to leave solving cases to professionals.

He was able to help spot the anomaly and give a general direction, which can be considered as fulfilling his duty.

"Shut up! If you don't understand, don't interrupt!"

Chen Yizhen glared at Hua Zhenghao and reprimanded him mercilessly.

Hua Zhenghao's face instantly turned a deep liver color, but he dared not speak out in anger.

"Principal Chen, I'll take the body back for testing immediately. And these two teachers, would it be convenient for you to come back with us to give a formal statement?"

Yu Anqi waved her hand, not wanting to waste any more time. As she had the body taken away, she looked at Chen Yizhen and asked.

Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai were the first to see the body. Although they have been temporarily cleared of suspicion, there are still many details that need to be carefully questioned.

The killer's clues might be hidden in those things.

“No problem, whatever the police need, our medical school will fully cooperate.”

Chen Yizhen did not refuse; he was even more eager than Yu Anqi to catch the murderer as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if a serial killer were hiding in the medical school, and no one knew when he would raise his knife again, the consequences would be far too severe.

The statement-taking went on until evening. As Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai walked out of the police station, the latter said timidly in a low voice, "Teacher Ye, thank you so much for today. How about... how about I treat you to a meal..."
