"James is dead!"

After receiving the news from the 29th Army, Zhang Yihu and Qiu An were both shocked. Obviously, the news came too suddenly!

"It seems that some people want to embarrass us!" Zhang Yihou said decisively.

"Teacher Zhang, would you take too much action last night and cause secret injuries to James..." Qiu An asked in a low voice.

"Although I'm angry, I still have a sense of caution. The British James is tall and big, and he is in his prime. Can I kick him to death?" Zhang Yi roared.

"Maybe this James has some secret disease, such as heart disease or something..."

"This is such a possibility!" Zhang Yiro's expression changed slightly, and Qiu An's guess may not be impossible.

"The cause of death is still under investigation, and at least the autopsy results will be released before the cause of death can be determined!" Qiu An said, "However, the notice we sent last night will not come here on time today?"

"You are a joke to treat military orders. If you don't come, I won't accept them!" Zhang Yiro sneered.

"Then how to reply to Song Mingxuan?"

"We must give others a face on their field. We reply that we can give Lieutenant Colonel Wilson time to deal with future generations, but we must rush to the Jellyfish Palace camp before 2 pm, otherwise we will automatically withdraw from the exercise observation group!" Zhang Yi shouted.

"yes!"

"What, he just replied like this?" Song Mingxuan was very annoyed. He had already agreed to Lieutenant Colonel Wilson. Wouldn't Zhang Yihu's order make him go back on his word?

"Yes, Commander Zhang also said that no host would welcome the unruly guest!" said the deputy.

"Damn it, I want to generate electricity for Lu Houde and accused Zhang Yihou. Is there any other way he has in his eyes, Chahar Province!" Song Mingxuan said.

"Ming Gong, no!" Chief of Staff Zhang Weifan hurriedly stopped him.

"Why not?"

"Ming Gong. This was originally a matter between the Eastern Anti-Japanese War and the Military Exercise Observation Team. We are not suitable for intervening. Zhang Yihu is obviously unforgivable. If the gathering this morning was a waste, it would be a huge blow to their prestige. They would not agree easily, and this would give us face. Otherwise, he would not agree to postpone the gathering time of Lieutenant Colonel Wilson and others until two o'clock!" Zhang Weifan explained.

"Yes, Ming Gong, if we intervene, it may backfire. If Dong Kang is so strong, it will affect our military relationship. What should we do if these foreigners pat their butts and leave?" General Senator Xiao Zhenying also persuaded.

"Yes, Ming Gong, Senator Xiao is right. We don't need to interfere in the dispute between them!" Zhang Weifan also persuaded.

"But, I have promised Lieutenant Colonel Wilson, without trusting..."

"Did you agree?"

"It's not considered an agreement. I just want to help him bring a message. I feel that this is nothing. If someone dies, you must understand it!" Song Mingxuan said.

"As long as you don't agree directly, just a message. What is the reaction from others? That's their business!" Zhang Weifan and Xiao Zhenying both breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should I do now?"

"Since someone has replied, we can just tell Lieutenant Colonel Wilson in the original text. How to make a decision depends on him. He is a diplomat and a member of the military observation team, so we can't interfere!" Zhang Weifan said.

"Okay, as Chief of Staff Zhang said, we will not get involved in their struggle!" Song Mingxuan decided.

"Ming Gong. The autopsy results are out!" Tong Lin, deputy commander of the 29th Army, trotted in and said loudly.

"What is the cause of death?"

"Carbon monoxide poisoning is gas poisoning!" Tong Lin said.

"How is this possible because gas poisoning? Can anyone burn charcoal to keep warm on this day?" The three of them were shocked.

"Yes, I didn't see a charcoal furnace or something on the scene. How could it be gas poisoning?" Song Mingxuan said.

"Is it because someone forged the scene and took away the important evidence first?" Zhang Weifan said.

"It's not impossible. When Jingzhan arrived, James was dead, and there were only two people entering his room, one was James' maid Bell, and the other was Lieutenant Colonel Wilson!"

"Bell was the first to discover James' death, and then Lieutenant Colonel Wilson came over. It was less than a minute in between. If the murderer was Bell, she would probably have entered James' room long ago, moved the key evidence, and made a deliberate sound, attracting the attention of others in Renji Foreign Company..."

"So the murderer is the maid Bell?"

"It's hard to say, this maid Bell should be the most suspected!"

"What do you say from the Jingchao Bureau? Have you got Bell's confession?" Song Mingxuan asked.

"I don't know yet!"

Xuanhua Jingchao Bureau, No. 1 prison room.

"Miss Bell, where are you doing what you do from 10:30 to 10:00 last night?"

"I was waiting for Mr. James to come back in the living room, but I fell asleep while I was waiting!"

"That is, you don't know when Mr. James will come back, right?"

"I heard a few people talking in a daze, with Mr. James' voice, but I don't remember when!"

"Did you sleep in the living room during this period?"

"No, around eleven o'clock, I was woken up by a knock on the door. I got up and went to open the door. I saw a man with a gun on his back and holding a piece of paper in his hand. He told me that this was for Lieutenant Colonel Wilson!"

"Did you let him into the living room?"

"No, I was a little scared, I just took the paper and closed the door!" Bell whispered.

"Where is that piece of paper?"

"I don't know Chinese, it's getting late, and Lieutenant Colonel Wilson should have a rest, so I plan to hand him that piece of paper tomorrow!" Bell said.

"You know Lieutenant Colonel Wilson is back?"

"I just feel it, but we went to check it out. Lieutenant Colonel Wilson has a bad temper. I dare not disturb him at that time!" Bell replied timidly.

"Then what?"

"Then I went back to my room to sleep, until this morning when I was sending Mr. James mouthwash and cow nai..." Bell was already in tears at this point.

"Miss Bell, did Mr. James have any enemies during his lifetime?" the interrogator continued.

"I don't know, Mr. James never talks about business matters to me. I'm just a little maid!" said Bell.

"Miss Bell, when did you become Mr. James' maid?"

"Three years ago, in Mumbai, India, I was sold to Mr. James by my parents, and then I followed him to China!" Bell said.

"Okay, Miss Bell, I'm almost done with my questions. You can leave by signing this transcript!"

Bell reached out to sign his name on the transcript, and then pressed his handprint on it.

"Director, according to my experience, this Bell should be fine, not to mention that she has no motivation to kill James. James died. She lost her backer and life became a problem!"

"Now the problem is troublesome. The autopsy results show that James died of charcoal burning, that is, carbon monoxide poisoning. The forensic doctor examined his stomach juice and food that had not been digested in the stomach, confirming that his death was between 11:00 and 1:00 a.m.!" said the director of the Xuanhua Jingchao Bureau, "The problem is that we did not find any traces of charcoal burning at the scene. The fireplace used to keep warm was empty and there was no residue!"

"Director, will it be an acquaintance who committed the crime? After committing the crime, all traces of the scene were eliminated!" The inspector in charge of the case analyzed.

"It is possible that although Mr. James was injured, his movements were not restricted, and there were no other scars on his body, and there were no traces of struggle. This was strange!" said the director.

“Where is the autopsy report?”

"We have to wait a while, the forensic doctor is testing the medicine in James' gastric juice!" said the director.

"Director, Inspector, you are all here!" The forensic doctor in a white coat knocked on the door and walked in. Because the death was a British man, the Forensic Department attached great importance to it and sent the forensic officer Niu, who was most instructed to do a corpse examination for James himself.

"Is there any result?"

"The deceased did swallow anti-inflammatory drugs before his death. After our test, it was confirmed that the pills in the bottle and the pills that had not been digested in the stomach of the deceased were the same ingredient. Its scientific name is acetylsalicylic acid, abbreviated as: aspirin!" said Niu Forensic Official!

"So. Mr. James isn't drug poisoning?"

"After our preliminary judgment, Mr. James died of carbon monoxide poisoning. To be cautious, we tested his gastric juice and blood to confirm our speculation, but we also ruled out the possibility of someone poisoning. Aspirin cannot cause death. The dosage taken by Mr. James is also within the normal range!" said Niu Forensic Official.

"Forensic Niu, what about your judgment?"

"One, suicide, the deceased couldn't think of it, and he committed suicide by burning charcoal, but this does not seem to be true. If Mr. James wants to commit suicide, then he doesn't need to take aspirin. Isn't this a waste of this? The second possibility is that he kills. Who wants to kill James? Vendetta, love killing, or other reasons. This is not the scope of our forensic doctor's work!" said the official Niu Forensic.

Obviously, forensic doctor Niu denied suicide from the perspective of forensic doctors and placed suspicion on the killing of him!

Since it was homicide, it was a serious criminal case, and the person who died was a British citizenship, and it also involved diplomacy. The height of this case suddenly increased by eight points.

When such a case was held, the Xuanhua Jingjian Bureau felt a huge pressure. If it could not be solved, the case would not be solved, and the director's throne could not be kept.

"If carbon monoxide is poisoned, why didn't we smell any smell when we entered the scene?"

"Yes, that's strange. Mr. James's doors and windows are intact, without any signs of knocking..."

"Can the murderer be an acquaintance who was poisoned to death without any precautions, and then went in and emptied the poisonous gas in the room, so that when we arrived at the scene, we would not smell the smell of poisonous gas?"

"No, the poison gas is not so open and empty. To reach death, there must be a certain concentration. However, the south wind was blowing last night!" Dr. Niu smiled and said.

"south wind!"

"By the way, Mr. James's room door is facing a window in the corridor, and his bedroom also has a north window. If the door and windows are opened, it will be easy to filter the air in the room under the south wind. When we arrive at the scene, we will naturally not smell the slightest smell of poisonous gas!

"Yes, it should be so, but who poisoned James? The doors and windows on the scene are all good..."

"No, we just checked the windows and doors of Mr. James' room, but did not check all the windows and doors of Renji Foreign Company!" The detective shouted.

"Hurry up, gather the team and go to Renji Foreign Company!" Director Jingcha also shouted and ordered.

Another key issue was not clarified, and the Inspector rushed into the detention room.

"Miss Bell, are you leaving?"

"Not yet, the procedures are being completed!" the elite officer told.
