Chapter 171 Zhou Qin's Dead End



Chapter 171 Zhou Qin's Dead End

Hearing this, Taya Yufu's face darkened.

"Take me to Wang Zhuang's room."

Xie Wuwei and the others looked at each other, then followed Nakai Ichiro upstairs.

Zhou Qin's heart sank. She had a bad feeling. It was him who was responsible for the explosion that killed "Old Eight" and "Old Nine". Now that Wang Zhuang was dead, she couldn't explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.

She stared at the people walking in front of her with gloomy eyes, wondering who was the one who killed Wang Zhuang.

She definitely didn't kill Wang Zhuang herself, so it must be among the six people in front. However, she suspected the most of Guan Hao and Jin Dayong, who were imprisoned only yesterday. They had the opportunity to prepare some murderous things.

At this time, everyone went to Wang Zhuang's room.

Wang Zhuang was seen lying on the table, with no blood on his body and no signs of fighting around him. There was a glass of water on the table.

His lips were purple, there was foam at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were staring, and his body had become stiff.

Taya Yufu picked up the water cup and sniffed it, then looked up at everyone. He couldn't see anyone suspicious, so he said slowly:

"It's potassium cyanide!"

No one looked surprised. Whether it was to eliminate the enemy or to prevent oneself from falling into the enemy's hands, potassium cyanide was the most convenient thing and an essential weapon for murder and suicide.

Tian Gu Yufu walked around Wang Zhuang, rolled his eyes, and then said slowly:

"He died last night, probably less than twelve hours ago, probably around 8:30."

Zhou Qin was surprised to hear this. Her throat was still sore, and she could only speak hoarsely and with difficulty:

"Impossible, I saw him last night and he was fine!"

Ichiro Nakai and Takeo Taya remembered that Wang Zhuang seemed to have had some dispute with Zhou Qin. Although there was no evidence, there was a high probability that Zhou Qin killed him to silence him.

However, Nakai Ichiro stared at her closely, his eyes full of gloom.

"Baga, Zhou Qin, you simply don't take the Empire of Japan seriously. You actually killed someone right in front of us!"

"It's right under my nose!"

Taya Xiongxiong said while pushing up his glasses, feeling disgusted with Nakai Ichiro in his heart.

Ichiro Nakai always says some inappropriate Chinese, but no one else says it out loud, only Takeo Taya will say it directly.

Nakai Ichiro choked and forgot what he was going to say.

Zhou Qin's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Her voice was as hoarse as a duck, and she made a sharp and thin sound.

"I was wronged! I didn't kill him!"

Taya Yufu picked up the cup and found a small amount of white powder in it. He said to Zhou Qin:

"To be killed without warning like this, he could only be someone we knew. You were the only one who found him at the time, and Wang Zhuang had just said he was going to tell us something last night, but he was silenced today."

Nakai Ichiro had an unfathomable look on his face, and he suddenly spoke:

"The only person who can let Wang Zhuang sit down and drink water with you is you. Is it possible that he will invite Section Chief Xie into the room..."

Xie Wuwei spread his hands helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

"Captain Nakai is indeed a top student in Japan. Everyone knows that Section Chief Wang and I have a bad relationship. Besides, saying that I killed him and poisoned him is simply an insult to me!"

After hearing what Xie Wuwei said, Nakai Ichiro raised his chin proudly.

"It's impossible for this to be Secretary Lin. Secretary Lin and Wang Zhuang have never had much contact. It's impossible for her to meet Wang Zhuang alone."

Seeing that Taya Yufu had been examining the corpse, he felt very proud. He did not need to examine the corpse. He could use his own intelligence to figure out who killed Wang Zhuang.

"Director Wei and Deputy Director Qin have no connection with Wang Zhuang, so they have no reason to meet with him."

His eyes fell on Jin Dayong, and after just a moment, he continued:

"Jin Dayong is even more impossible."

At this point, Zhou Qin suddenly spoke,

"Only Jin Dayong and Guan Hao had the opportunity to kill. They came in a day later and might have had poison on them. We were all searched and there was nothing suspicious on us."

Zhou Qin now realized that the fact that Nakai Ichiro and Taya Yufu were so sure that they had killed Wang Zhuang meant that their conversation with Wang Zhuang yesterday was eavesdropped on.

The bug was in the corridor, not in the room. Who told Wang Zhuang that the bug was in the room?

Did Wang Zhuang really not know about the eavesdropping device, or was he deliberately deceiving himself?

Zhou Qin's mind was in a mess. Not only could she not prove that she had lied about the death of "Old Eight" and "Old Nine", she was also charged with the crime of killing Wang Zhuang.

Hearing this, Guan Hao and Jin Dayong both looked at Zhou Qin.

Jin Dayong pushed Qin Zhongyang aside, and Qin Zhongyang stumbled and almost fell into Tian Gu Yufu's arms. Jin Dayong smiled apologetically at Qin Zhongyang, and pointed at Zhou Qin and said:

"Zhou Qin, stop quibbling. My niece came to see me yesterday and we chatted until nine o'clock."

Jin Dayong gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. No wonder that damn girl couldn't be driven away and had to wait until Xie Wuwei came to pick her up.

Guan Hao's eyes flashed with a look of helplessness.

"Director Zhou, we all heard your argument with Wang Zhuang last night, but we didn't want to disturb you, so we stayed out. Also, Section Chief Xie was with me the entire time yesterday. We were drinking tea and talking about something."

Qin Zhongyang politely said to Tian Gu Yufu who was pulling him:

"Thank you, Section Chief Taya!"

He patted his robe and said to Nakai Ichiro:

"When I saw I could come out, I went to find Director Wei and told him I could walk around, and then I went back into the house."

Qin Zhongyang was worthy of being someone who had been lurking for so long. He knew that Wei Qiang had experienced so much and would definitely come to find him. Sure enough, Wei Qiang came not long after he came back.

Wei Qiang was afraid that he would be used as a scapegoat again, so he immediately said:

"Just after eight o'clock, I went to see Deputy Director Qin, and we were chatting the whole time."

He was still feeling fortunate that he had gone to find Qin Zhongyang at that time.

Seeing that everyone was targeting her, Zhou Qin calmed down and realized that she and Wang Zhuang were being set up.

Perhaps Wang Zhuang did not know where the eavesdropping device was, but someone told him the wrong information, which led to the conversation between the two being overheard by the Japanese.

Xie Wuwei and Guan Hao looked at each other. Xie Wuwei crossed his chest with his left hand, put his right thumb on his lips, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Lin Ruotang looked around and huddled quietly in the corner. Being a secretary allowed her to learn a skill.

How to stand in the crowd without being outstanding and stealing the spotlight from the leader. She can be invisible in the crowd, making it difficult for people to notice her. She sighed in her heart.

Troubled times are truly the best stage. Let’s see how a room full of people can act out Zhou Qin.

Xie Wuwei had long noticed that Wang Zhuang was uneasy and would definitely go to Zhou Qin to tell her about the death of "Old Eight" and "Old Nine".

He also deliberately said that the bug was in the room, and then said it was in the corridor. Wang Zhuang naturally thought that the latter words were meant to tease him, and he would think that the bug was in the room.

What Ichiro Nakai and Yufu Taya heard was what Xie Wuwei wanted them to hear.

And Taya Yufu and others did hear Xie Wuwei and Wang Zhuang talking for a few minutes. Although they didn't know the details, there was no tension between them.

Xie Wuwei told Guan Hao yesterday that if Zhou Qin died at this time, they would be suspected and would not be able to leave the gendarmerie detention center.

As long as Wang Zhuang, who had a conflict with Zhou Qin, died, the first person to be suspected would be her.

Beat Zhou Qin to death completely!

After all, everyone can testify for each other, only Zhou Qin is alone, and Wang Zhuang, who was with her, is dead, so she can't explain herself.

After Guan Hao and Zhou Qin returned to their room, they went to find Wang Zhuang.

Wang Zhuang thought Zhou Qin was still knocking on the door, so he opened it and saw Guan Hao. After all, they were superiors and subordinates. Guan Hao had always been a good guy in the team, so Wang Zhuang naturally didn't have much guard against Guan Hao.

Guan Hao said words to comfort Wang Zhuang, and when he picked up the cup to pour water, he took the opportunity to crush the medicine and put it in the water.

Wang Zhuang was absent-minded. After arguing with Zhou Qin, he was still angry and drank it in one breath. Only then did he realize something was wrong.

Only after Wang Zhuang died did Guan Hao return to the room.

At that time, Xie Wuwei had been in his room, creating an alibi for being with him.

Nakai Ichiro touched his chin, raised his index finger with a serious expression, and pointed at everyone present.

"Scheming frog, keeps touching your belly..."
