Chapter 149: Discovery of Large Quantities of High-Purity Drugs and Potassium Cyanide, Uncovering the Criminal Actions of Poison!

In the luxurious Shuiyuan Longting villa area,

The many security guards who usually flaunt their authority by blocking deliverymen and couriers from entering, now dare only to stand far away and watch.

From their vantage point, they see several police cars parked in front of Villa No. 23, and the vehicles are parked in a haphazard manner, blocking the main road of the community. Whether this was done deliberately or by accident, the police cars created chaos.

The most shocking part is that no one asked if the owner of Villa No. 23 was home before special forces barged in, storming through the door with submachine guns drawn.

Such a forceful approach made it clear to the security guards that whatever the rich young owner from the Australian district had done, it was something far beyond their level of involvement.

Of course, the noise didn’t just draw the attention of the security guards. Many celebrities and wealthy residents of the Shuiyuan Longting villa area also noticed the commotion. Some were curious, while others immediately began using their resources and connections to inquire about the situation, fearing that the turmoil might reach their own homes.

Inside the villa, fully armed special forces had already searched every room. However, as they had speculated earlier, they found no trace of the so-called “Poison.” It was highly likely that the drug trafficking organization leader, known for being cautious and a voyeur, had tipped off Poison that they were coming.

Although they hadn’t caught Poison red-handed, they had still gathered significant clues and items. The high-purity drugs found in the villa alone included thirty kilograms of heroin. If calculated by the amount that warrants the death penalty, it would be enough to execute Poison a hundred times.

But the most critical discovery wasn’t just the drugs; it was the chemical workstation in the basement of the villa, specifically set up for extracting potassium cyanide.

In other words, the cyanide used to kill Fat Cat and others had been extracted from this very basement.

Thanks to the privacy of Shuiyuan Longting and the tight security of the luxury villa area, Poison had been able to comfortably manufacture such toxic chemicals here without fear.

At this moment, in the basement of the villa, Liu Yang glanced at Shen Lin, who was an expert in toxic chemicals, as she carefully collected all the drugs. He then turned to Bai Yu and Zheng Hui, sighing.

“Detective Bai, Officer Zheng, it seems the goddess of fortune hasn’t been on our side. We couldn’t catch Poison here, and frankly, it’s a bit of a disappointment.”

“If we had captured him right away, it would have saved us a lot of trouble.”

Zheng Hui, with a kind expression and narrow eyes, shook his head and comforted Liu Yang.

“Director Liu, this situation was already expected. Don’t be too disappointed.”

“Besides, finding such a large quantity of high-purity drugs and uncovering this underground chemical lab is a huge gain. It proves that our earlier speculation with Ming Ge wasn’t wrong.”

“And based on what we’ve found, once we catch Poison, no matter how he tries to deny it, it’ll be over for him.”

“The next step is to determine where Poison is hiding now.”

Although Zheng Hui wasn’t particularly good at deduction, his harmless appearance and gentle tone helped ease the slightly disappointed mood.

Dressed as Sherlock Holmes, Bai Yu focused on the intact test tubes on the workbench and the laptop that had been smashed and had its hard drive removed. He then put down his pipe, deep in thought, and speculated aloud.

“I think…”

“Poison definitely hasn’t left Suzhou City yet.”

“Because under our police surveillance, fleeing to another city would be risky and would expose his whereabouts faster.”

“Also, with the help of the drug lord, who has numerous channels to give Poison early warnings, staying in Suzhou City would actually be safer for him.”

“Of course, the drug lord probably doesn’t want Poison to leave because staying in Suzhou also makes it easier to execute another hidden member of their organization.”

At this point, Bai Yu paused, pointing at the broken laptop and adding,

“There’s one more thing we can be sure of.”

“From the time Poison received the intel and left the villa to when we arrived, the time gap wasn’t long. In fact, it looks like he was in quite a hurry.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only destroyed the important laptop and left behind the toxic potassium cyanide and other chemicals.”

“As for the high-purity drugs, he clearly didn’t have time to deal with them or take them with him, so they were left behind.”

“Given how quickly the police are closing in and how tight the situation is, Poison, with his cowardly nature, wouldn’t dare carry around these high-purity drugs like a ticking time bomb.”

“So, I believe, in such a rushed situation, Poison is likely still hiding somewhere nearby, in a place he knows well and can trust, where few people know about it and where he can safely lay low.”

Liu Yang nodded in agreement, as if rediscovering his early skills as a detective. He pointed meaningfully and said,

“Poison has lived in this villa area for so long.”

“Even though the security here is top-notch and cameras are everywhere, it’s highly unlikely that they caught his departure.”

“But for us, that’s actually a good thing.”

“The entrances and exits of high-end villa areas have the most cameras, and Poison wouldn’t dare drive out to avoid being caught.”

“So, he’s still nearby. It’s very likely.”

At that moment, Liu Yang clenched his fists tightly, taking a deep breath. His eyes, filled with a determination not seen in years, became unwavering. He declared without any room for doubt:

“Although we’re following the obvious lead of capturing Rose hidden in Liangxi City, now that we have such a big breakthrough, we must pursue it relentlessly.”

“Find him!”

“Keep searching, we must catch Poison!”
