Chapter 361: Investigation

A Lu Qian thought for a while, looked at the Xiuluo warriors guarding the door, and said, "Keep them alive for now."

After giving the order, A Lu Qian glanced at the five rapists. Judging by their fear of those behind them, it seems that he and Xu Xiang’s guess is right. Behind these people is the Moon Pavilion.

Seeing that A Lu Qian was about to leave, the man hanging beside the leader became anxious. Gathering all his strength, he shouted anxiously: "Do... don’t go! I will tell you e... everything!"

A Lu Qian observed the man for a long time before he walked to the only chair in the middle of the dimly lit room and sat down. Then he looked at the man and said calmly: "Tell me. I want to know everything. If you dare lie to me, death is a luxurious wish for you."

While A Lu Qian interrogated the prisoners, Xu Xiang and A Lu Da had already arrived at the kitchen of the barracks. Standing in the middle of the kitchen, Xu Xiang looked at the clean and tidy kitchen.

She went to the water tank in the corner of the kitchen, opened the lid, and saw that the water in it was clean. She took out the poison detector from her space to check the substances contained in the water.

A Lu Da stood behind her, looking at rows of data displayed on the poison detector screen in a language he could not understand, and asked, "Xu Xiang, do you think they poisoned the water?"

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Since this strange disease is not contagious, there are only two explanations. The first is that someone directly poisoned the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors, and the second is that they poisoned the water or food."

After she finished speaking, she thought for a while and said, "What I don’t understand is, why some soldiers and most of the Xiuluo warriors are all well and have not contracted this strange disease?"

"If someone really poisoned them directly, how could so many people be poisoned at the same time in such a short period of time? Moreover, with the abilities of the Xiuluo warriors, I doubt they will be poisoned without knowing it."

"But if they are poisoning the water and food, why doesn’t everyone who eats the food get this strange disease? I must be missing something here." She said while frowning deeply.

A Lu Da scratched his head after hearing what she said and asked, "Maybe it is because they didn’t eat everything prepared by the kitchen."

Xu Xiang looked at him and asked, "What do you mean? Isn’t there a rule that those who waste food and water will be severely punished?"

A Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes. But some soldiers and Xiuluo warriors got sick after eating certain foods, so if they didn’t eat these foods, we didn’t punish them."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang realized that those soldiers and Xiuluo warriors should be allergic to certain foods. While she was thinking, the poison detector device made a notification sound.

When Xu Xiang was reading the test report, A Lu Da looked at her and asked curiously: "How is it? Did you find something?"

A few minutes later, Xu Xiang raised her eyes, looked at A Lu Da, shook her head and said, "There are no harmful substances in the water."

"Could it be those people poisoning the food instead?" A Lu Da asked again.

Xu Xiang thought for a few seconds and said, "Let’s check the food first."

A Lu Da nodded and led her to the warehouse behind the kitchen. After A Lu Da opened the door, Xu Xiang walked into the warehouse and began to carefully check everything in the warehouse.

An hour later, she shook her head after reading the test report. A Lu Da frowned slightly, and asked, "If the food and water are not poisoned, then what is the source of this strange disease? Can the mastermind really poison the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors directly?"

Xu Xiang didn’t answer him, but continued to read the test reports on the screen. After a long time, she raised her head, looked at A Lu Da and asked, "A Lu Da, can you help me find out what the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors had for dinner last night?"

A Lu Da nodded and said, "All right. I will do it right now."

After A Lu Da finished speaking, Xu Xiang put away the poison detector and said, "I will stay in the commander’s tent to sort out the test reports. Please bring me their answers when you are done."

"Mhm. Leave this matter to me." A Lu Da said seriously.

After A Lu Da left the warehouse, Xu Xiang walked back to the commander’s tent. Although she already checked the water and food, she still believes that the source of this strange disease is the water and food. Because her intuition told her that she was overlooking something, she wanted to check the test results again.

When she entered the commander’s tent, it was empty. After closing the curtain door, Xu Xiang walked to the table and sat down. She took out the poison detector and a microcomputer, then began to sort out the test reports.

While she was working, A Lu Da went to the main camp area. When the two guarding soldiers saw him, they quickly saluted and said, "This subordinate sees the Commander."

A Lu Da nodded to them and said, "Let the brothers gather at the training ground in five minutes."

The two soldiers didn’t know what happened, but they still saluted and said, "Yes, Commander."

After issuing the order, A Lu Da walked towards the training ground. When he got there, he saw A Lu Zhi also there. He looked at his fourth younger brother and asked, "Fourth Younger Brother, why are you here?"

A Lu Zhi smiled at his eldest brother, and asked, "Eldest Brother, have you finished checking the water and the cooking ingredients with Xu Xiang?"
