Chapter 422: Committee Member Suicide (Happy New Year everyone!)_2
```
"Okay!"
Jiang Hui immediately nodded, but then he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"But, I'm only Level Two..."
There are several Level 3s among these people, and he, being just Level Two, really couldn't suppress them. Blacky was still warming himself in the police station and hadn't come over.
"True, in that case..."
Wang Tao reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a black heart.
"A Night Demon?"
Jiang Hui and a policewoman both showed some surprise, not expecting Wang Tao to carry such an item with him. However, they felt that this heart was somewhat different from those they had seen before.
Thud—
The Night Demon Heart hit the ground and immediately swelled, a very tall and burly dark green Night Demon appeared.
At the same time, a terrifying aura spread out, causing everyone present apart from Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue to feel weak in the knees.
"This, this is... a Level 5 Night Devil Weapon?"
Zhu Fen spoke with a face full of shock.
Although she was paralyzed, her experience was much more extensive than Jiang Hui and the others'. She had seen many Level 4 Night Devil Weapons and could distinctly sense that in both appearance and aura, this one was incomparable to a Level 4.
Wang Tao ignored her and instead turned to Jiang Hui, speaking in a calm tone:
"Take it with you when you go back, and we'll see who gets chased away, and who runs becomes the Night Demon's meal."
"Ah? Yes!"
Jiang Hui finally came to his senses, his face a mix of shock and joy.
He was only Level Two now! Level 4 seemed unreachable to him, and here he was, getting to work with a Fifth-Order Creature in his lifetime?
Jiang Hui almost doubted he was dreaming, but he didn't dare dawdle. He immediately handcuffed Zhu Fen and the others along with the policewoman, and then led them out in order.
The Night Demon Type II followed quietly behind him, creating an oppressive feeling for everyone, including Jiang Hui.
Wang Tao had already instructed the Night Demon Type II to obey Jiang Hui's orders. Although it was currently bound to Wang Tao and nobody else could control it, Wang Tao could have it perform some simple tasks, just like the current one.
"Oh right, do you have the information of all personnel inside the base? Give me a copy, or grant me access, I want to check on a few people,"
Wang Tao said to Jiang Hui.
"Yes!"
Jiang Hui was a policeman who had the authority to investigate the identities of all residents within the base. Now that he was the head of the investigation team, his temporary authority was even greater. He could access information including that of officials.
Jiang Hui granted a temporary access to Wang Tao's informational wristwatch, which meant Wang Tao's searching the data was the same as if he was doing it himself.
Once Wang Tao confirmed there were no issues, Jiang Hui and his group quickly left, indicating that they would send someone to pick up Wang Tao shortly.
After they left, Wang Tao turned to Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen.
Because both women had always wanted to drink the Holy medicine and struggled to control themselves, Jiang Shixue simply found a Rope, and had them tied back-to-back. Their expressions were pained, especially with so much Holy medicine around that they could only watch but not drink, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
But as uncomfortable as they were, their consciousness was clear, and they had observed everything that had just happened.
Qiu Rong could hardly believe it; she had long thought Wang Tao was a Deacon of the Dusk Church, but it turned out to be false!
She deeply regretted, regretted having told so much to Wang Tao. Her attachment to the Dusk Church wasn't particularly strong, but the lack of Holy medicine was excruciating.
As for the matter of her husband's murderer and the fact that these people from the Dusk Church were affiliated with the base's high-levels, she wasn't concerned with that now; all she could think about was the Holy medicine.
Xia Zhen was likewise in disbelief; she had never expected the high-levels of the City Hall, even members of the committee, to be part of the Dusk Church! And that Deacon, the one who lured her into drinking the Holy medicine and intentionally tormented her, was her husband's close friend!
However, like Qiu Rong, these issues were not the priority for her now. What mattered was whether she would get to drink the Holy medicine!
However, unlike Qiu Rong, Xia Zhen had already been let loose by Wang Tao before, so she didn't feel as tormented as Qiu Rong...
"My lord... I, I want to drink..."
Xia Zhen looked pitifully at Wang Tao.
Upon hearing the voice, Qiu Rong also hurriedly looked over. Although she was desperate for some Holy medicine, she retained some sense of reason. With Wang Tao not revealing his identity by removing his mask, she didn't dare to call his name, but could only look at him with hope.
```
Wang Tao glanced at the two women, then promptly dismissed them from his attention.
They wouldn't die from not drinking; at worst, they would only feel uncomfortable.
There were still so many people lying on the ground at the scene, all of them in a state of poisoning, and their symptoms were not all the same. Wang Tao needed to do some research and take a look at who they all were.
Wang Tao went to remove the masks of these people, while using the camera on his informational wristwatch to take pictures of their faces.
The results were more or less what Wang Tao had expected: not a single one was an ordinary person. They were all family members of some officials from the base, and many were high-ranking officials at that. Moreover, the vast majority were women—all of them quite good-looking.
"It's a good thing we discovered this. If all of these women had been exploited by Zhu Fen, it would have been a shock to the entire base!"
Wang Tao sighed, then continued,
"And this is not all, Zhu Fen confessed that she has some followers who were not here. We will save those people later..."
Zhu Fen had confessed everything in order to save her life. Wang Tao could tell she wasn't lying.
"Hmm."
Jiang Shixue nodded her head.
Right then, Wang Tao's informational wristwatch suddenly rang. Upon answering, Jiang Hui's tense voice came through.
"Mr. Wang, Committee Member Zhu Fen is dead!"
"Hm? How did she die?"
Wang Tao frowned. With a Night Demon Type II at Level 5 around, she shouldn't have been attacked by anyone, right?
"Suicide. She had poison on her person, and she took her own life!"
"..."
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
Jiang Shixue had specifically taken precautions against Zhu Fen's suicide earlier. Zhu Fen had shown no intention of taking her own life even after her identity was exposed. So how come she suddenly committed suicide?
"She said she knew our methods and didn't want to be tortured. She also knew she couldn't survive, so she committed suicide... I couldn't stop it... Mr. Wang, should I come back to find you?"
Jiang Hui added hastily.
He needed to have Wang Tao confirm that Zhu Fen had indeed killed herself; otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining the situation.
"Where are you? I'll come over," Wang Tao said.
Jiang Hui was able to contact Wang Tao through the informational wristwatch, which meant he hadn't gone far; with the heavy snow outside, there would be no signal any further away.
"I am at..."
Indeed, Jiang Hui wasn't far away, so Wang Tao went over to check it out with Jiang Shixue.
Soon, Wang Tao saw Jiang Hui and the now HP-less Zhu Fen. The deputy mayor and the others were not a problem; clearly, they still wanted to live.
If there was even a drop of HP left, Wang Tao might have been able to save her, but with no HP at all, there was truly no hope.
"You can't be blamed for this. Who knew where she had hidden poison in her body. After we get back, I will speak in your favor."
Wang Tao patted Jiang Hui on the shoulder.
"Great!"
Jiang Hui was immediately overjoyed. Given his current situation, his small stature wouldn't have been able to withstand the repercussions of Zhu Fen's death, but with Wang Tao's assurance, things were different.
After thanking him, Jiang Hui left with Zhu Fen's body. Wang Tao returned to Bamboo Cui Community once again.
On the way, Wang Tao suddenly thought of something:
"Zhu Fen confessed everything about the Dusk Church, and now she has committed suicide. Doesn't that mean that only I know some of the important things about the Dusk Church? Including the remaining assets, which are all mine now?"
Wang Tao hadn't originally been interested in the Dusk Church, but now... he felt he might have some interest.
It wasn't that he wanted to use the Dusk Church to control others, but perhaps he could impersonate Zhu Fen and contact that bishop outside the base?
If he had the opportunity to completely eradicate this evil organization, he certainly couldn't miss it.
