Luo Qian became more and more agitated as she spoke, her small chest rising and falling with anger.

Even Chen Xiao, who had experienced great storms, felt a surge of anger.

Mainly, his influence had been crucial in getting Chi Hao into the Evil Exorcism Division.

Now that Chi Hao had been arrested, wasn't that a slap in his face?

Through Luo Qian's introduction, Chen Xiao learned that all those in power within the Evil Exorcism Division whom he had known before had been dismissed.

The newly appointed officials, even if they had heard of Chen Xiao's reputation, had never truly witnessed his prowess, and naturally wouldn't give him any face.

"Alright, I understand the situation."

Chen Xiao said coldly, his face as dark as water, "Once this poisoning case here is cleared up, I'll go with you to take a look."

Chi Hao had already suffered enough, being transformed into a vampire for no reason.

He had finally found an organization that could accept him, but now he was being locked up by that very organization. His fate could only be described as extremely unfortunate.

Chen Xiao would naturally not stand idly by.

However, he also wouldn't ignore the case at the Blue Star Steel Factory.

Because he felt that this case was not as simple as it seemed.

"Did someone discover something? Otherwise, why would they call you here for this case?"

Chen Xiao suddenly thought that if it was a normal poisoning case, there was no reason for the Evil Exorcism Division to get involved.

Luo Qian nodded and said, "Aura observers detected monstrous energy soaring here, and they speculated that the poisoning case might be caused by a demon, so they sent our Evil Exorcism Division to investigate."

"Aura observers?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, his face showing doubt.

"Oh, it's like this. Since the new commander of the Celestial Strategy Army took office, he has equipped every city with aura observers. It is said that it's because many cities have recently seen the emergence of demon beasts, and the aura observers can detect their presence."

Luo Qian explained.

Chen Xiao nodded, "I see."

This coincided with Chen Xiao's guess.

Based on his observation of the patients' conditions, he also deduced that this poisoning incident was caused by demon beasts.

"Then where do you think we should start?"

Chen Xiao asked as if testing her.

Luo Qian thought for a moment and said, "We just went to the hospital. The number of poisoned people is quite large. Almost all the workers on duty today have been poisoned."

"So, I analyzed that the toxin is either spread through the air or through the water source."

"If it is spread through the air, the poisoning range is difficult to control within the steel factory, after all, there are many residential areas around the steel factory."

"So, I preliminarily determined that it is spread through the water source, and if it is spread through the water source, I think the starting point should be the factory's canteen!"

Luo Qian's analysis was methodical and clear. Chen Xiao was amazed. "Not bad, Luo Qian. Treat a person with new respect after a separation of only three days. You've made great progress."

"Hehe, of course, I'm a genius anyway!"

Being praised by Chen Xiao, Luo Qian was a little proud.

"Alright, stop being so narcissistic, let's go take a look at the canteen!"

Chen Xiao waved at Luo Qian and took the lead, walking towards the canteen.

It was lunchtime, and if it was a normal day, the canteen would have been overcrowded at this time.

However, due to the special circumstances today, the canteen did not prepare lunch.

The canteen of the Blue Star Steel Factory is very large, with three floors in total, each floor covering an area of several thousand square meters.

After all, it has to provide dining places for tens of thousands of employees, and a small area cannot accommodate so many people.

Moreover, facts have proved that Luo Qian is not a genius.

What she thought of, others also thought of.

When Chen Xiao and Luo Qian arrived, there were already many policemen investigating the case in the canteen.

Hearing that Luo Qian was from the Evil Exorcism Division, the policemen immediately showed her great respect.

Luo Qian enjoyed the fruits of their labor and obtained some clues that had already been investigated.

The canteen was the hardest hit area. All the canteen staff were poisoned, without exception, and they were all patients with more severe symptoms.

According to incomplete statistics, the poisoned workers were all employees who had breakfast in the canteen in the morning.

And those workers who were not poisoned were all those who did not have breakfast in the canteen.

From these clues, it can almost be determined that the problem lies in the canteen.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because Chen Xiao has already discovered what is causing the trouble.

His divine sense is all-encompassing, and nothing can escape it.

However, he did not immediately pull out that thing, but first let Luo Qian disperse the policemen and other staff.

"Next, we will take over here. For safety reasons, please evacuate here first."

Luo Qian was familiar with the routine and dispersed the crowd.

But Chen Xiao still didn't start, and Luo Qian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, what are we waiting for?"

Chen Xiao smiled without saying a word.

After he discovered that the donkey-faced man and the pig-faced man were walking towards the canteen, he snapped his fingers.

"Let's start!"

Chen Xiao seemed to have known something for a long time, and walked directly to the back kitchen.

Luo Qian was confused, but quickly followed.

The management of the Blue Star Steel Factory is very good. The back kitchen is unusually clean, unlike the back kitchens of many large canteens, which are covered with oil and mice are rampant.

There were no mice, but there were centipedes.

Moreover, it was a very large centipede, as long as an adult's forearm!

Chen Xiao effortlessly subdued the centipede, found a large empty oil bottle, and stuffed it in.

Seeing such a big centipede, Luo Qian's little face turned pale.

"Bro, Brother Chen... is, is this thing the culprit?"

Luo Qian asked tremblingly.

"Well, this is a demon beast."

Ordinary centipedes need to bite people to poison them, while demon beast centipedes only need to secrete toxins into the water source to spread the toxins.

And the canteen cooking must use water.

Chen Xiao did not hide anything from Luo Qian.

Of course, there is no need for too much explanation.

After all, Luo Qian is from the Evil Exorcism Division, and has experienced many events that ordinary people cannot touch with Chen Xiao before.

"I didn't expect it to be really caused by demon beasts."

Luo Qian patted her chest, still in shock.

"Okay, this is for you, take it back and hand it in to claim credit."

Chen Xiao handed the empty oil bottle containing the centipede to Luo Qian.

Luo Qian looked at the giant centipede crawling around inside, and only felt her scalp tingling, and she didn't dare to take it at all.

However, if she didn't dare to take it, she had to bite the bullet and take it, who told her that she was doing this!

However, as soon as Luo Qian stretched out her hand, she heard an imperious voice behind her: "Bring the thing here!"

The donkey-faced man and the pig-faced man walked in.

Obviously, these two people have been waiting for Chen Xiao and Luo Qian to get things done, and then they will take over and reap the fruits of victory.

The final credit will naturally be recorded on their heads.

These two people were just parachuted into the Jiangcheng Squad of the Evil Exorcism Division. They only had positions and titles, but they were lacking in merit.

So, they urgently need some ready-made achievements to fill their resumes.

This will make it easier for them to get promoted and get a raise in the future.

"Captain Wang, Deputy Captain Zhang, the case was solved by me and Brother Chen, why do you want to take the demon beast away?"

Luo Qian was naturally dissatisfied with the shameless behavior of these two people, and she refused to do it on the spot.

In fact, she herself didn't matter, mainly because this case was solved by Brother Chen, how could she allow these two shameless villains to take Brother Chen's credit?

"Bold! Luo Qian, do you think we are competing with you for credit?"

The donkey-faced man's face sank, and his big donkey face was pulled like a mule's head.

"Luo Qian, don't forget your identity. You and I are both soldiers of Captain Wang. Your and my credit is naturally also Captain Wang's credit. I advise you not to be confused about priorities!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Luo Qian's little fiery temper came up, and she didn't care if you were some deputy captain.

"The case was solved by Brother Chen, and it's not my credit, why should I give it to him?"

"Hehe, we had already agreed before, this Chen is just assisting us in our work, even if he really solved the case, it has nothing to do with him!"

"You, you are shameless!"

"Dare to scold me for being shameless? Luo Qian, you are offending your superior, you don't want to do it anymore!"

"If I don't want to do it, then I won't do it. I've long wanted to stop serving!"

As she spoke, Luo Qian was about to take out her work permit and throw it on the donkey-faced man's face.

But at this time, Chen Xiao stopped her and shook his head at her.

"Luo Qian, don't be impulsive, I think this Deputy Captain Zhang is right, this case has nothing to do with me, I am at most an enthusiastic citizen, two captains, take this demon beast!"

Luo Qian's face was full of question marks, Brother Chen, when did he become so easy to talk to?

"That's more like it!"

The donkey-faced man stared at the centipede demon beast in the bottle, his eyes straightened.

This is a living demon beast. If it is presented to the higher-ups, it will be a great achievement.

"Be careful, this thing is very dangerous!"

Before handing the bottle to the donkey-faced man, Chen Xiao 'kindly' exhorted.

"Give it to me, why are you talking so much nonsense, am I inferior to you?"

The donkey-faced man said impatiently, and snatched the bottle away.

After snatching it, he realized that the bottle had no cap.

Chen Xiao can suppress the centipede demon beast, but this donkey-faced man can't!

As soon as the bottle left Chen Xiao's hand, it scurried out, crawled along the donkey-faced man's wrist to his arm, and bit down.

"Ah—"

The donkey-faced man let out a scream.

Facts have proved that donkeys can also make pig-like screams...

It was not until this time that Luo Qian suddenly realized.

It turned out that all of this was planned by Brother Chen long ago. He was just waiting for these two people to take the bait!

Being bitten by a demon beast is no joke!

The poison spread, and the donkey-faced man's hand instantly turned black.

This donkey-faced man was also a ruthless person. He decisively took out a knife from his waist and slid it down his shoulder.

Click... The arm was cut off at the shoulder and fell to the ground!

He did this to stop the spread of the toxin.

The toxin stopped spreading, but the centipede demon beast had not been dealt with.

At this moment, it was on the ground, raising half of its body, baring its fangs and claws at the donkey-faced man.

At this time, the pig-faced man took out a pistol and fired several shots at the centipede demon beast.

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

This centipede demon beast had a very low grade and could not resist bullets at all. After a few shots, it was blown to pieces.

The donkey-faced man's face was full of anger, and with his only remaining arm, he pointed directly at Chen Xiao: "Boy, you tricked me!"
