Xuan Feng stared blankly at the person before him, clearly unaware of what oversight had led to this person's death. After a moment, he regained his composure, released Wang Fen's hand, clasped his palms together in front of him, and knelt before Bai Xi, "It was Xuan Feng's oversight. I request the Eldest Miss to punish me."
He had accompanied the Eldest Miss on a mission to the outer territories before and was naturally aware that matters concerning the Kui Hall were not trivial.
And this person was a hard-won clue, only to die in his hands.
Such an oversight would result in severe punishment in the Dark Department.
Bai Xi felt regret over Wang Fen's death, as they had lost their only clue. However, she also knew that Xuan Feng had done nothing wrong in this matter, as he had reacted immediately to prevent Wang Fen's death.
Yet, he still died.
This was very strange.
She couldn't help but look towards Han Mo.
Seeing her gaze, Han Mo immediately understood her meaning and stepped forward to examine Wang Fen's body.
From his eyes, mouth, and nose, down to his chest cavity.
When the scalpel opened his chest, a large amount of blood gushed out, appearing terrifying.
Han Rui and Deng Liang's faces turned pale again, and they both turned their heads away.
Xuan Feng frowned, "What is going on?"
Organ bleeding was often seen in external trauma.
But he had clearly not laid a hand on Wang Fen. How could he suddenly suffer from multiple organ bleeding throughout his body?
Han Mo said calmly, "The blood is bright red and flows smoothly, with no congestion or discoloration. It is not poisoning."
After speaking, he continued to examine the body, his gloved hand carefully searching his head until he reached behind his ear. He flipped the body over, pushed aside the hair blocking the area, revealing a tiny scar that was almost invisible.
Han Rui: "What is that? Did he have an injury on his neck before? But that has nothing to do with his death today, does it?"
Han Mo said calmly, "Not necessarily."
Bai Xi also looked at the small scar, "There must be something inside."
She might not understand medicine, but she understood killing. A strike to this area could instantly incapacitate someone, or even kill them.
As expected, Han Mo took out a scalpel, cut through the skin behind Wang Fen's neck where a faint horizontal line was visible, and extracted a round object with tweezers.
Han Rui, being perpetually curious, asked about what he didn't understand, "What is that?"
Han Mo said calmly, "It's a chip. Placed behind the neck, it can control a person's central nervous system. If I'm not mistaken, Wang Fen's earlier words triggered a mechanism within the chip, causing his internal organs to bleed simultaneously, leading to his death."
Han Rui was slightly surprised, "You mean, this thing killed him?"
Han Mo said calmly, "That's right."
Bai Xi stared at the chip, lost in thought.
Han Mo said calmly, "The Kui Hall likely implanted the chip into people's bodies to control their every action. Wang Fen intentionally said those words earlier, which triggered certain mechanisms in the chip. The chip sent erroneous commands to his central nervous system, causing his internal organs to bleed throughout his body, ultimately leading to death."
Han Rui frowned, "Han Zheng and Han Fang also committed suicide via triggered voices. Could the person who implanted the chip in Wang Fen and the one who gave it to Dizi be the same person?"
Han Mo said calmly, "I don't know."
Bai Xi looked at the chip, her eyes hardening slightly, "Xuan Feng, take this chip back to the Dark Department and have our technicians analyze and investigate what is stored within it. Investigate everything, from the materials to the technology, and see if you can find any clues!"
Xuan Feng acknowledged, "Yes."
Han Mo placed the chip into a transparent evidence bag with tweezers and handed it to Xuan Feng.
Han Rui hesitantly stepped forward, "Uh, Eldest Miss, although Han Zheng and Han Fang helped the Kui Hall transport illegal drugs, this matter has nothing to do with the Han family. Could you, considering I helped you interrogate and extract clues, spare the Han family? Although I know this might be difficult, please, Eldest Miss, show consideration for my grandfather's old age and help me, help the Han family."
Having spoken, he directly knelt before Bai Xi.
He knew that while he often joked and messed around with Bai Xi, she was actually very fair, strict, and valued rules.
This matter was serious. If they were to truly pursue it, even if he and his grandfather didn't have to die, the Han family's pharmaceutical factory and research center would be implicated and shut down, or even confiscated. At that point, the Han family would essentially cease to exist.
Before, his matters with Han Zheng and Han Fang were personal grudges, but now...
He wasn't unaware of the greater good, but he couldn't bear to see the Han family, which his grandfather had protected his entire life, vanish.
Bai Xi said calmly, "I will find a way to preserve the Han family. However... from now on, the Dark Department may need to intervene. I will assign Xuan Feng to remain with the Han family long-term to supervise the Han family's medical industry and ensure that no criminals exploit the Han family again."
Han Rui and Han Cai were very conscientious pharmacists, engaged in the legitimate business of medicines and medicinal materials. In fact, Han Rui had always been dedicated to researching more affordable, more effective drugs suitable for the general public, to replace those life-saving medications that were prohibitively expensive.
However, the matter of Han Zheng and Han Fang colluding with the outer Kui Hall to illegally transport banned drugs into China still existed. Under normal circumstances, the pharmaceutical factory and research center should have been shut down, all profits confiscated, and hefty fines imposed.
For the Han family's name to continue to exist in this world, the entire Han family had to be taken over and managed under the name of the Dark Department, allowing the Han family members to continue operating it themselves.
Hearing this, Han Rui's eyes brightened slightly, as this outcome was far better than he had imagined. "Really? That's wonderful."
After speaking, he tiptoed and wrapped his arms around Xuan Feng's arm. "Xuan Feng, from now on, we will look out for each other. You turn a blind eye, and I will definitely reward you with countless luxury cars and beauties."
Xuan Feng looked up, said nothing more, directly pulled his arm off his shoulder, and silently moved away.
The matter of Han Zheng and Han Fang's deaths could be considered concluded, but the matter of the Kui Hall... it might just be the beginning.
The four of them walked out of the room and saw Deng Liang pacing nervously at the door.
Seeing Bai Xi emerge, Deng Liang immediately stepped forward, "Eldest Miss..."
Just as he spoke, he saw the body lying on the ground, covered in blood: "Wang Fen, what, what happened to him?"
Bai Xi said calmly, "He's dead."
Deng Liang was slightly startled, "This..."
Although he already knew that Wang Fen was the murderer in the Han Zheng and Han Fang murder cases, to have him die so inexplicably in the prison cell was no different from Han Zheng and Han Fang.
What's more, Wang Fen had just mentioned an organization called the Kui Hall, and it seemed they had instructed him to kill. Although he didn't know what the Kui Hall was, killing within the Security Bureau was no small matter, and this had not yet been thoroughly investigated.
