Chapter 477 Exposing the Traitor: The Team Doctor
Cao Erdan didn't say much and went straight to see the patient.
After checking everything, he turned to Shang Junqi and said:
“Governor Shang, they were not only poisoned, but directly poisoned. I see needle marks on their arms; the poison was injected directly into their bodies!”
As he spoke, he rolled up the sleeve of one of the hall masters, revealing a needle mark on his arm that hadn't fully healed yet.
He Na immediately retorted angrily, "Nonsense! That was the antiviral vaccine administered by our team doctor. It wasn't just a few of them who were vaccinated; everyone was vaccinated, even Governor Shang!"
Shang Junqi rolled up his sleeves and showed them to Cao Erdan: "Special Envoy Cao, this is indeed the case."
Cao Erdan smiled slightly: "That's right. If you were to poison them all, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the guts. After all, you were handpicked by the royal family, so you must still have some reservations. Otherwise, you would immediately be suspected, so you would poison them separately."
He Na's face turned red: "Nonsense! You need to provide evidence for your words. I'm going to report you to the capital for making baseless accusations. Don't think you can just throw accusations around just because you're a special envoy!"
Cao Erdan grabbed the gang leader's arm and said:
"It's easy to tell. Their injection sites have some ulcers, which are different from other people's. There are hard lumps at the injection sites, and the subcutaneous tissue is black..."
Before Cao Erdan could finish speaking, He Na interrupted:
"That's because everyone's constitution is different; it's normal for them to be different!"
Cao Erdan stepped closer: "Even if their constitutions are different, as a doctor, couldn't you see the changes in their injection sites? Did you give them any warnings?"
Indeed, He Na gave everyone a full-body check-up, and never mentioned the needle prick.
Now, let's compare the injection sites of these nine people who were poisoned. The injection sites of these nine people are really different.
Seeing Cao Erdan's aggressive behavior, Shang Junqi wanted to dissuade him, but seeing He Na's increasingly flustered expression instead of anger, he held back.
Cao Erdan was able to easily resolve the crisis at the door, proving that this young man had some skills.
Let's see if he can justify his actions.
Cao Erdan continued to ask He Na:
"You're the team doctor selected by the Royal Team. Don't you really know anything about this poison? Anyone with eyes can see that the poison they've been given is a mixture of compounds and croton extract. It's completely artificially extracted and has nothing to do with what they ate."
He Na tried her best to hide her panic, shaking her head and saying, "I haven't made a definitive diagnosis yet, but I'm giving them IV drips, and I believe they'll get better soon!"
"Nonsense! You're just giving them regular glucose, without adding any antidote or antidiarrheal medication. How can that cure their infected gastrointestinal tract?"
At this moment, He Na was not only flustered, but also began to feel that the young man in front of her was somewhat terrifying.
How can he see through everything?
Cao Erdan removed the IV drip from one of the team members, took the medicine bottle off, and handed it to Shang Junqi:
“Governor Shang, if you don’t believe me, you can have it tested. This is just pure sugar water and has no effect on treating the illness. Injecting too much will only accelerate metabolism and worsen the symptoms.”
Although the nurses administered the IV drips, He Na prepared the medications herself.
Everyone was still skeptical when they heard what Cao Erdan said.
After all, everyone is quite familiar with He Na.
Many team members often joked and teased her, and He Na never got impatient, even when things got a little too intense; she had a very good temper.
Some of the more mischievous teammates even patted her on the butt, but He Na just laughed it off.
How could such a good doctor personally harm someone?
At this point, He Na was being forced to retreat step by step by Cao Erdan:
"You're talking nonsense, you're spouting rubbish."
She had no more words to defend herself.
There was no one in the house who knew medicine, and everyone trusted her, so they never expected that a young man who could see through everything would suddenly appear.
Cao Erdan smiled slightly: "You think I'm talking nonsense? Fine, Governor Shang, you can have someone search her. If I'm not mistaken, she might have some poison in her pocket!"
Cao Erdan spoke with great confidence; it wasn't just a wild guess.
He stared at He Na for a long time, even noticing that she was on her period and wearing a sanitary pad. How could he not know what she was carrying in her pocket?
Upon hearing this, He Na's expression changed drastically.
He turned and left, yelling, "You're crazy, you're unreasonable!"
But Shang Junqi had already stretched out his arm:
"Wait, Team Doctor He, don't go yet!"
Startled, He Na leaped over a table with a whoosh and ran towards the door.
Shang Junqi roared, "Stop her!"
Everyone in this room is a martial arts expert; even the weakest among them is at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Realm.
They immediately surrounded and intercepted them.
He Na was also anxious. She reached out and grabbed a teammate who was in so much pain in his stomach that he felt weak all over. She pinched his throat with her slender fingers.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"
He Na is also a master of the Dao realm. Many people have seen her practice. Despite her slender fingers, she can crush pebbles with her fingers.
This team member is currently powerless to fight back; if pushed too far, she could really kill him.
Shang Junqi angrily said, "He Na, don't be so stubborn, or you'll never be able to turn back!"
He Na cried out, "Governor, there's no turning back now. I was forced into this!"
It turns out that the team doctor, He Na, appears to be a gentle and kind older sister, but in reality, she has done many shady things behind the scenes.
No one in the imperial palace knew about these things, yet Mao Ying's spies found out everything.
She used her position as the royal team doctor to sell banned drugs, which the royal team would punish if they found out.
Moreover, she had been having affairs with multiple men behind her husband's back, all of which were discovered by Mao Ying's subordinates.
That's why they forced her to poison him.
If she gets arrested now and all these things are exposed, she will be mortified.
All she wants now is to get away, find a place to hide, and never see anyone she knows again.
However, with so many people surrounding her, she couldn't leave at all.
Holding the hostage by the throat, he forced Shang Junqi to comply:
"Governor, please let me go! The poison in these people isn't fatal; it only temporarily incapacitates them! I don't want them to die either!"
Cao Erdan sneered: "You're either lying or you've been deceived. The dosage you used was not small; without timely treatment, it could be fatal!"
He Na hysterically yelled at Cao Erdan:
"Get out of my way! You're the worst! If you hadn't come, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
Cao Erdan laughed heartily: "Instead of looking for your own faults, you blame me. I'm here to guide you and prevent you from going further and further down the wrong path!"
As she was speaking, she suddenly raised her hand, and He Na, who was excited, felt a soreness in her arm and couldn't exert any strength.
However, Cao Erdan suddenly flicked out a silver needle that pierced the Quchi acupoint on his arm.
Shang Junqi also seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, grabbing He Na and lifting her up:
"You bastard, hurry up and heal your teammates, and get the antidote. Maybe then you can save your life!"
He Na smiled bitterly: "I don't have an antidote. They'll get better on their own in a few days."
Just as he finished speaking, one of the team members suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
Cao Erdan said, "It seems she doesn't fully understand this poison either. Someone probably gave it to her and tricked her into thinking it wasn't lethal. Let's not use her; I'll do the antidote for them!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Junqi slammed He Na to the ground:
"Take her away. I want to interrogate this bitch myself later."
