Lin Mingchang flipped through three photographs. "What kind of death state is this?"
Zhou Fengchun gestured for him to turn to the later pages of the case file, revealing several images of corpses. The three bodies in the photographs showed no obvious external injuries, but their lips were an unusual shade of bluish-purple, and their skin was covered in peculiar, irregular dark purple spots.
Zhou Fengchun pointed at the photos and continued, "We don't have professional forensic experts in Guiyang, so we had to rely on doctors from Holy Love Hospital for examination. The doctors believe this is a case of sudden food poisoning leading to death, but... I feel like there's more to it than that, which is why I arranged for an investigation. We looked into the social circles of the three deceased, checked their activities before death, and interviewed their family members, friends, and colleagues..."
"Is there any progress in the investigation?" Fang Zigui asked as he took the case file and examined the photographs closely.
"Since the second victim appeared, I've intensified the investigation, but so far... there hasn't been much progress," Zhou Fengchun shook his head, saying helplessly. "I feel that the biggest point of suspicion right now—and the main direction for further investigation—is that all three deceased were involved in the same investment plan: the Guizhou Money Bee Breeding Project."
"The Golden Money Bee?" Ruan Xiaoshuang asked curiously, tilting her head.
"The Golden Money Bee is a special type of bee found in the mountainous regions of Guizhou," Zhou Fengchun explained. "It is about twice the size of a regular bee and has golden ring patterns on its body, hence the name Golden Money Bee. It is said that its honey and royal jelly have unique medicinal properties and hold a high status in Miao medicine."
Lin Mingchang followed up on Zhou Fengchun's explanation, asking, "Who initiated this breeding project?"
"It was started by a Miao entrepreneur named Long Tianming. He studied abroad and returned wanting to develop the Golden Money Bee breeding industry, attracting quite a bit of investment," Zhou Fengchun said as he pulled out a project proposal from the case file. "These three deceased were key investors in this Golden Money Bee Project, each responsible for different aspects. Peng Jintang managed sales channels across Southwest China, Doctor Thomson was in charge of researching the medicinal value of Golden Money Bee products, and Chen Zhi handled government relations and site approvals."
"So these three were crucial figures in this investment plan," Lin Mingchang tapped his fingers on his knee. "Their deaths must have a significant impact on this investment plan?"
"The project has been completely suspended for now," Zhou Fengchun replied. "Long Tianming's public statement is that out of respect for the three investors, they will wait until after the mourning period to restart it. However, from what we've learned privately, many investors are terrified by these consecutive deaths and are afraid of being associated with such misfortune; they are all demanding to withdraw their investments."
Fang Zigui flipped through the autopsy reports of the deceased. "Director Zhou, were toxicology tests conducted on the victims?"
"I specifically requested Holy Love Hospital to perform tests, but no common toxins were detected," Zhou Fengchun shook his head helplessly. "To be honest, Holy Love Hospital's testing equipment is quite outdated and cannot conduct more thorough examinations."
At that moment, Shen Tong, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. "Director Zhou, can you arrange for us to visit the sites where the three victims died?"
"Of course," Zhou Fengchun nodded. "I've already made arrangements; Jianfei will take you there shortly. Oh, by the way... Zheng Jianfei is currently the officer in charge of this case. He is a local from Guiyang and knows the terrain and customs well. I will ensure he fully cooperates with your investigation."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
