Chapter 393 You're interested in dead women too?
There are too many opportunities for a chef to poison someone, making it very difficult to catch them in the act.
As long as he has nothing to hide, he won't be afraid of anything he does.
If he was the one who poisoned the body, he would have shown a look of fear as soon as he entered the room.
Not long after, Amy arrived with Zuo Jian.
He was a chubby young man in his late twenties.
As soon as he entered, Cao Erdan sensed his unease and kept glancing at the four burly men standing ramrod straight.
Then look at Zuo Zhaoshan, who has a serious expression.
Then he looked at the untouched food on the table.
"Uncle, why did you call me?"
Even without Cao Erdan's knowledge of physiognomy, Zuo Zhaoshan could see that something was amiss:
"Do you even need to ask? Just tell me yourself, why did you do this? I've been watching you for a long time!"
Zuo Jian's face turned pale instantly.
Sweat beads were dripping down his face.
"Uncle, I didn't do anything!"
"Hmph, I've had someone watching you, and you don't even know it. If you confess now, I might spare your life because you're my nephew!"
Before Zuo Zhaoshan could finish speaking, Zuo Jian turned and ran away.
The four burly men were all martial artists, and their reactions were lightning fast; they had already blocked the doorway.
Zuo Jian reached out and grabbed Amy's hair, pulling her into his arms. He then took out a boning knife and pointed it at Amy's neck.
"Uncle, please let me go, or I'll kill your Amy!"
Zuo Zhaoshan was furious:
"Tell me, who instructed you to do this? Tell me and I'll let you go!"
"You really will forgive me?"
"Really, after all, you are my own nephew."
"Okay, I say!"
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened and he collapsed.
But then he saw Amy holding a short sword, which she plunged into his heart.
He kicked Zuo Jian's corpse and sneered:
"You coward! You'd believe the truth if I just coaxed you. You're useless!"
"Huh? Amy, what are you doing?"
This move surprised both Zuo Zhaoshan and Cao Erdan.
Amy simply took a small bottle out of her pocket:
"Zuo Zhaoshan, you'd better obey me right now, or you'll die from all the blood vessels bursting!"
The four burly men were about to step forward and subdue Amy when they saw this.
Amy opened the small bottle in her hand.
A fragrant aroma wafted in.
The four burly men collapsed to the ground.
Zuo Zhaoshan smelled it and felt his blood vessels go numb all over his body.
Amy grinned maliciously:
"Zuo Zhaoshan, it's not just you; your personal guards have all been poisoned by the kitchen staff. As soon as they smell this, the blood-dripping worms in your bodies will become active. If I don't take it away within five minutes, you will all die from burst blood vessels!"
Zuo Zhaoshan looked at the guards struggling on the ground and was shocked.
If Cao Erdan hadn't already gotten rid of his bloodworms, he might have ended up lying on the ground like them.
Amy shouted, "Zuo Zhaoshan, quick, order this Cao Erdan to be arrested!"
Zuo Zhaoshan let out a cold laugh:
"Don't you think I'm different from them?"
Only then did the excited Amy realize what was happening.
She asked in surprise, "You... why isn't your face so red anymore?"
Zuo Zhaoshan coldly said:
"Brother Cao has already cured me."
At this moment, Cao Erdan also stood over with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to be the one who poisoned them, but you were part of it! Tell me who ordered you, and you'll suffer less!"
Cao Erdan had originally planned to tease the pretty girl about stealing bull penis after everything was over.
It seems that the chef, Zuo Jian, might be under her control.
However, a mere woman would never have the ability to control Zuo Zhaoshan at the Imperial Gate; there must be another mastermind behind it all.
Zuo Zhaoshan also said, "Amy, I know you were threatened by someone. Tell me who it was, and I won't pursue the matter!"
Amy realized that her medicine powder could no longer control Zuo Zhaoshan.
I couldn't help but feel scared, and my hands started to tremble.
I don't need the small medicines either.
He threw the dagger at Zuo Zhaoshan and rushed straight to the door.
Cao Erdan was standing by, how could he let her escape?
He leaped over, grabbed her by the back of her collar, and pulled her back.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!"
Amy screamed in alarm.
Suddenly he collapsed to the ground, his face turned blue, and he died!
Zuo Zhaoshan was surprised: "Brother Cao, you killed her?"
Cao Erdan shook his head: "I didn't!"
He reached out and touched Amy's body.
Zuo Zhaoshan was somewhat displeased: "You're still interested in a woman who's already dead?"
Cao Erdan didn't reply, and pulled a small listening device out of Amy's bra.
"it is as expected!"
With a firm squeeze, the listening device shattered!
Then they pried open her teeth.
There is a hole in the back molar.
Cao Erdan explained to Zuo Zhaoshan:
“Amy is just a puppet being monitored, and since she's right next to you, her listening device can hear you talking to her. Now that she knows she's been exposed, she remotely detonates the deadly poison hidden in her teeth.”
Zuo Zhaoshan broke out in a cold sweat.
He considered himself the head of the royal family in Daliang City, wielding unlimited authority.
Little did they know they had already been manipulated!
He placed an informant by his side, and even treated her as a close friend!
I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who is behind this?"
Cao Erdan had just arrived in Daliang City and was unfamiliar with the various forces there, so he had no idea what was going on!
……
At this moment, in the garden of a villa in Daliang City, a tall, thin man with a silver hair bun was meditating.
The surrounding gas appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if I were sitting in a fairyland.
A man in black strode over:
"Seventh Master, Seventh Master, something terrible has happened!"
The silver-haired man opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in his equally silver-gray pupils.
Anger flashed across his usually stern face:
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm meditating?"
The man in black was so frightened that he immediately knelt down:
"Seventh Master, something happened at the Imperial Gate. Amy and Zuo Jian have both been arrested. I was afraid that Amy would ruin things, so I have already activated the remote-controlled poison bomb."
This seventh master, named Duan Qilang, suddenly stood up.
They circled around the man in black kneeling on the ground.
The man was trembling with fear, unsure whether he had done the right thing or the wrong thing.
If Seventh Master doesn't do as he pleases, he could smash his own head with a single blow at any time!
Fortunately, Duan Qilang didn't kill him; he just kept twitching his fingers.
He muttered to himself:
"How could it not work? Zuo Zhaoshan has already been poisoned, why wouldn't it work?"
The man in black answered:
"The people monitoring Amy reported that they received a special envoy from Nantong Prefecture today, whose name seems to be Cao Erdan!"
"What kind of name is Cao Erdan? What kind of seat could he possibly have? Doesn't he have any useful information at all?"
The man in black said, "Zuo Zhaoshan is very cautious. He usually doesn't allow Amy to attend his meetings!"
"Hmph, take care of everyone connected to Amy, and reinsert an inside agent into the Royal Family! I refuse to believe I can't handle these people!"
Duan Qilang was very troubled.
Just now, I was assuring Ouyang Kang that I would be able to handle things in Daliang City very soon.
Once the governor is under control, the power of the royal family will be at their disposal.
But wouldn't it be frustrating if the line broke just when he was about to succeed?
When you squeeze it with your fingers, it makes a cracking sound.
Suddenly, he struck a rock in the artificial hillside with his palm.
With a loud crash, the artificial rockery, which was more than two meters tall, shattered and collapsed.
The man in black was so frightened that he trembled uncontrollably.
