Chapter 407 The Detective King
This is certainly not a sixth sense, but Wang Tao saw that there was a negative status under the health bars of the two women.
[Poisoning: A common toxin with a certain degree of addiction, which can lead to death if taken for a long time. It can be detoxified if not taken within seven days]
These two women are poisoned, and it is an addictive poison!
Wang Tao's first reaction to seeing this status was that they took some kind of drug, but after thinking about it carefully, it should not be. Although Wang Tao has never seen drugs, according to his understanding, drugs cannot be resisted by willpower, and even if they can last for seven days, they cannot be eradicated.
And this poisoning status says that it can be detoxified if it is not used within seven days...
Wang Tao guessed that this should not be the kind of drug he understood, but something that appeared after the end of the world, or in other words, it is someone's supernatural power, or even awakening!
Now is the end of the world, it is not surprising to have all kinds of strange abilities.
If these two women do not have this status, then Wang Tao thinks it may really be an accident. But if there is this poisoning status, or this kind of addictive poison, then this matter is likely to have another hidden story!
Yao Guodong was not poisoned before, so it was obvious that Yao Guodong did not take them to take poison, but they hid it from Yao Guodong...
However, Wang Tao did not say much. After all, she was the mayor's wife. If there was any scandal, it would be better not to spread it out, otherwise it would not only embarrass Yao Guodong, but also the entire city hall. And Wang Tao was not easy to explain how he knew that the other party was poisoned...
Anyway, Wang Tao felt that as long as the city hall investigated the two women, they would definitely find out something. It depends on whether they are willing.
"Wang Tao, did you find anything..."
Han Rui asked quietly while sticking to Wang Tao. She knew Wang Tao better. Wang Tao was not a person who liked to shoot without purpose. Wang Tao said there was a problem, so it was likely that he had found something.
Wang Tao did not answer, but Han Rui saw that look - he did find something, but it was not convenient to say it for the time being.
Han Rui immediately understood, she closed her mouth and asked Wang Tao again when she returned.
The next step was to perform an autopsy on Yao Guodong. The City Hall directly dissected him in front of everyone.
Those who remained at the scene were all capable people. Although they were not as professional as forensic doctors, they might be able to see something.
It is worth mentioning that before the operation, Yao Guodong's second wife ran out of the room. She cried and asked if she could not cut Yao Guodong's body open, wanting to leave him a whole body.
It was hard not to be suspicious when she said such words at this time.
However, she did not do anything to hinder the autopsy. When Gu Yun clearly said no, she returned to the room crying, looking very sad.
Everyone naturally doubted Yao Guodong's second wife, but seeing that she did not hinder everyone's work and cried very sadly, everyone thought that she might really be sad for Yao Guodong... Some people were still praising their deep love for each other.
"It's too fake."
But Han Rui whispered in Wang Tao's ear.
"It's really fake."
Not only Han Rui, Lan Yulian also whispered.
"Is it fake..."
To be honest, Wang Tao didn't really see that it was fake. If Han Rui didn't remind him, ignoring all external factors and just looking at their expressions and movements at this time, Wang Tao also felt that the two women were really sad about Yao Guodong's death.
"As a woman, I can feel that she is fake!"
Lan Yu explained in a low voice.
"As a woman's sixth sense!"
Han Rui also echoed.
"Women are really good at acting!"
Wang Tao sighed.
However, after feeling two eyes staring at him, Wang Tao hurriedly held Lan Yulian and Han Rui's hands.
"I'm talking about them, not you."
"Hmph~"
Wang Tao was communicating with the two women in a low voice, but he didn't give up using his mental power to observe Yao Guodong's body.
The mental power detection was more detailed than these forensic doctors, but still didn't find anything.
After a while, the forensic doctor shook his head at Gu Yun.
Gu Yun looked at the superpowers present again, and everyone, including Wang Tao, shook their heads.
So Gu Yun said:
"Then let's send Mayor Yao's body to the City Hall first."
The autopsy is definitely not over, and it will take a closer look. After all, Yao Guodong's death was too strange. However, it will not be a short time to get results. It is better to take Yao Guodong's body away first. It is definitely not okay to keep it in Yao Guodong's home.
During the autopsy, the questioning of Yao Guodong's family members also began.
There are six people in Yao Guodong's villa, including Yao Guodong himself, his two wives, two nannies, and a driver and bodyguard.
After the autopsy, the questioning of them was also preliminarily completed. These people all have alibis, and they have no motive for murder...
"For the time being, it can't be found out. It is estimated that they will first tell the public that Mayor Yao died of an 'accidental death'..."
Gu Yun lit a cigarette, came to Wang Tao and sighed.
There will be many more investigations in the future, but Gu Yun obviously didn't have much hope.
Now is not the same as before, all kinds of magical abilities emerge in an endless stream, even if Yao Guodong was really murdered, it may not be investigated. Not to mention, all the clues now indicate that this may be an accident.
"Alas..."
Wang Tao sighed. There was no sad expression on his face, and he didn't need to pretend to be sad. After all, he and Yao Guodong were not very familiar... Wang Tao just felt a little regretful, because he made Yao Guodong owe him a big favor. Now this is a complete waste.
"It's already noon, please come to the city hall for dinner..."
Gu Yun said to everyone.
Everyone nodded, and after Yao Guodong's body was taken out first, everyone else also went out one after another. Including Yao Guodong's two wives and others, they also have to leave. The villa must be sealed and the crime scene must be protected. Those close to Yao Guodong who had contact with him must also continue to be investigated. After all, this is the death of the mayor. I won’t say whether I can find out anything. Anyway, I must try my best.
When Wang Tao and his group came out, Han Rui suddenly looked somewhere.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao was secretly observing everyone with his mental power, and immediately noticed Han Rui's movements.
"I always feel that something is not right there... But I can't tell exactly what is wrong... Maybe it's my misunderstanding. You know my job. When I encounter this kind of thing, I always want to solve the case... "
Han Rui shook her head in a low voice.
Wang Tao followed Han Rui's gaze and saw that more than thirty meters away from the door of the villa, there were several sparse pine trees covered with snow. These pine trees were short, thin, and looked stunted.
He Jijun and Xiang Hongbin didn't feel anything was wrong, including Wang Tao. But Wang Tao took Han Rui's words very seriously, because Han Rui had a different hidden attribute——
[Arrest: Easier to catch criminal suspects]
"Let's go over and take a look."
Wang Tao said immediately.
"..."
Han Rui opened her mouth, but didn't say much. She just felt warm when she saw Wang Tao paying so much attention to her words.
However, when Wang Tao and others walked into the yard, where Yao Guodong died, Wang Tao suddenly stopped.
"Okay, no need to go."
The corners of Wang Tao's mouth were slightly raised.
Han Rui and others didn't know why. Based on their feelings towards Wang Tao, Wang Tao obviously didn't like to give up halfway, so - Wang Tao might have discovered something! However, they didn't ask any questions and followed Gu Yun to the restaurant of the city hall.
Although Mayor Yao had just died, it would not be good for them to eat and drink here, but after all, they were called here by Gu Yun and the others, and they didn't even eat, so they had to take care of their meals.
After dinner, Wang Tao walked around the city hall again and felt familiar.
Of course, he was not just wandering around, he wanted to get to know these administrative officials. Especially those who have a good or bad relationship with Yao Guodong are the focus of observation.
】
"Mr. Wang!"
Wang Tao suddenly heard someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was Cui Sheng.
Cui Sheng was surrounded by a group of men and women, dressed similarly to Cui Sheng. They should all be secretaries of the city hall.
"It's Secretary Cui!"
Wang Tao responded.
Those people were surprised and envious when they saw Wang Tao's friendly attitude towards Cui Sheng. Obviously, they knew Wang Tao.
Cui Sheng quickly introduced Wang Tao to those people.
"This is Mr. Wang, the awakener of the Spark Club..."
"Mr. Wang, they are all my colleagues..."
Cui Sheng simply omitted the introduction of those people.
However, this group of people was obviously very interested in Wang Tao. They ignored Cui Sheng's eyes and started introducing themselves.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I have long admired your name! My name is Wen Dazhi..."
"My name is Tang Chunyi..."
"My name is Guande..."
"..."
It’s not easy to get a chance to meet a big boss. If you don’t be thick-skinned at this time, you will regret it later!
Wang Tao smiled and nodded, looking very approachable.
He could tell that this group of people was vaguely dominated by Cui Sheng. Half of them were ordinary people, and only a few were first-level superpowers. Cui Sheng, a second-level superpower user, is already considered the strongest among them.
Among them, two people made Wang Tao take a second look.
It was Wen Dazhi who spoke first and Tang Chunyi who spoke second.
Wen Dazhi is a bit handsome, much better looking than Cui Sheng, a bald middle-aged man. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he is not only a first-level superpower, but he also has a hidden attribute - this is the awakened one. Seedling!
As for the other Tang Chunyi, even Wang Tao, who was used to seeing beautiful women, thought she was very beautiful, especially her pair of peach blossom eyes. She didn't know if she winked at Wang Tao on purpose, which was very attractive. As for her strength, she was just an ordinary first-level superpower with no hidden attributes, so Wang Tao simply ignored her.
Wang Tao did not hide his gaze, and everyone could see that Wang Tao stayed on them for a second longer. They all sighed inwardly when they found out that it was the most handsome and beautiful one among them.
Sure enough, people are all visual animals. When you meet a stranger for the first time, whether you are male or female, good looks are definitely a plus.
But what surprised them was that Wang Tao did not look at Tang Chunyi, a beautiful woman, but patted Wen Dazhi on the shoulder.
"The strength is good."
Although Wen Dazhi is indeed the second strongest person in their group after Cui Sheng, he is only at the first level of strength. Is it worthy for Wang Tao, the awakened person, to say that he is good? Everyone was a little puzzled.
Wen Dazhi was a little excited. Could it be that this big guy took a fancy to him? This "take a fancy" means that Wang Tao took a fancy to him like Cui Sheng.
He was still wondering if Wang Tao would ask him some questions later and how he should answer to make Wang Tao happy, but Wang Tao didn't say anything else, but waved his hand directly at them.
"You guys are busy, I'll go first."
"Hey, take care!"
"Mr. Wang, take care!"
"..."
Looking at Wang Tao's back as he left, Wen Dazhi clenched his fists, a little excited and a little confused.
"This strength should be very average, I know myself... but Mr. Wang said I'm not bad, could it be... I have some potential? Then I have to work harder! But it would be better to ask Mr. Wang once..."
...
After Wang Tao left, he smiled and shook his head.
He said that Wen Dazhi's strength was good, naturally because he had hidden attributes. For people with hidden attributes, Wang Tao doesn't mind encouraging them. They have to work hard and can't waste their hidden attributes!
Anyway, for Wang Tao, this is just a matter of talking.
After Wang Tao walked around again, he returned to Gu Yun.
"I feel that you are so busy here that you are a bit chaotic..."
Wang Tao said bluntly.
"Alas, the disaster relief work has finally got on the right track. I was supposed to relax a little later, but Mayor Yao's accident has made the work chaotic again... Without his command, I will have to be busy for a long time in the future..."
Gu Yun sighed helplessly.
Yao Guodong can become the mayor of Changhe Base as an ordinary person. His personal ability is obviously unquestionable. Gu Yun thinks he can't compare. Without Yao Guodong, various subsequent arrangements have to be rearranged, which is very troublesome. Maybe more people will freeze to death because of this... This chain reaction cannot be avoided, after all, the highest administrative officer in the base died.
"Come on, if you need anything, you can call me at any time."
Wang Tao patted Gu Yun on the shoulder.
"Yes, I may have to trouble Mr. Wang again in the next few days..."
Gu Yun smiled bitterly.
"Haha, it's okay. I'll go back first."
It was still snowing heavily outside, and it took some time for Wang Tao to get home.
As soon as he entered the door, Han Rui immediately hugged Wang Tao's arm.
"Wang Tao~ What did you find?"
She had been holding it in all the way and didn't ask, she knew Wang Tao must have found something.
"I found out... Yao Guodong was definitely killed by him."
Wang Tao said seriously.
"Why?"
Han Rui was a little excited, Wang Tao really found a clue!
"Because I saw footprints near the pine trees you think are problematic, and they were the same time as Yao Guodong's footprints last night."
Although Wang Tao saw that Yao Guodong's two wives were poisoned before, he didn't dare to guarantee 100% that Yao Guodong was killed by him. What if his two wives secretly smoked something behind Yao Guodong's back? This is not impossible.
But when Wang Tao detected faint footprints under the snow next to the pine trees through his mental power, he knew that Yao Guodong's death was not an accident - when Yao Guodong fell in the snow, there was always someone watching next to him!
This person did not notify anyone, causing Yao Guodong to freeze to death. He is obviously related to the murderer, or he is the murderer.
And if he is assumed to be the murderer, then Wang Tao's other question is solved - why did Yao Guodong keep staggering in the snow after urinating, and just didn't go home? It's not that he was drunk. As a superpower, he is not so easy to get drunk. He is also a person who knows the priorities and will not drink at this time. It's because he was affected by the murderer, so he couldn't go home.
As for what ability can affect Yao Guodong, making him keep spinning in the same place and unable to go home...
That Wang Tao is too familiar with - mental attack!
The distance between the pine trees and Yao Guodong is exactly the distance that many mental attacks can trigger!
Then Wang Tao had reason to speculate that Yao Guodong was affected by some kind of mental attack, which caused Yao Guodong's cognition to be wrong, causing Yao Guodong to mistakenly think that the bed in the snow was his family's, so he fell down and could not get up again.
If these speculations are true, then Wang Tao thinks that the murderer should not be strong. Because people with strong mental attacks, such as himself, can kill Yao Guodong in an instant, so why bother...
As for who it is, Wang Tao doesn't know, but at least there is a scope for investigation.
And there is also a simple and rough speculation method.
"Who benefits the most from Yao Guodong's death?"
Combining the two, perhaps something can be found.
However, when Han Rui and others speculated who is most likely to be the murderer based on the content provided by Wang Tao, Wang Tao suddenly thought of an important question-
If people with weak strength, even the highest executive officer, are still so easily plotted against... Then can people with strong abilities but weak strength be placed in important positions in the future?
Perhaps to put it more bluntly, are ordinary people and weak superpowers still qualified to hold important positions?
Judging from the current situation... anyone below the level of a fourth-order awakener can be considered weak!
"The impact of this matter may be much greater than I thought! It may cause some changes in the future..."
