Chapter 798: Chapter 798: The incident
The pharmaceutical factory in F City is called Minsheng dicine, renowned both in F City and nationwide.
The factory site is imnse, occupying practically the whole of Jade Mountain in F City.
Built against Jade Mountain, Minsheng dicine encompasses the entire foothill and midway up the slope.
It houses a pharmaceutical plant and a research and developnt base.
The first incident occurred in the pharmaceutical plant—in the production workshop.
Xia Xin found the details of the incident in the Xuann Association Forum Mission Area.
According to the details of the mission, the production workshop was where the trouble began, with workers going about their tasks as usual at the ti.
Suddenly, a pharmaceutical research professor who was doing an inspection was inexplicably hoisted into the air and strangled to death.
Jiangli frowned as Xia Xin recounted this part, “Hoisted into the air out of nowhere?”
“Yes, the pharmaceutical manufacturing workshop is different from ordinary factories—it’s completely sterile, and most of the work is done by machines. Only a few people are in charge of operating the machines, and there really isn’t anything in the workshop that could lift soone up. But the professor was suddenly hoisted into the air and strangled to death, suspended midair.”
When Xia Xin first read this part, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.
But as he read on, sothing even more horrifying happened.
It was said that the staff monitoring nearby, upon witnessing this scene, scread in horror and called for outside security and the deputy general manager.
They rushed in and were horrified by the sight of the professor’s body.
The deputy general manager, while instructing soone to call the police, pushed a security guard, urging him to retrieve the body first.
The guard, mustering up his courage and suppressing his fear, brought over a ladder, climbed up, and attempted to take the professor down.
But…
As soon as he touched the professor’s body, along with a snapping sound, the ladder he was on suddenly broke.
The guard scread as he fell.
And by ill fate, he landed right on the broken ladder.
There happened to be a protruding nail there.
The nail embedded itself directly into the guard’s skull.
The guard died instantly, on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, two people were dead.
Those present were terrified out of their wits, and for a mont, no one dared to step forward, everyone hiding aside and waiting for the police to arrive.
When the police ca to investigate, they were completely puzzled.
Because…
The cause of death was very strange.
The professor had been suspended midair and strangled to death, yet the police found no ropes or anything that could have been used to hang a person inside the workshop.
There were no marks on the professor’s neck, but the autopsy result was… chanical asphyxiation.
The matter of the guard… was even stranger.
The part where the ladder broke looked as if it had been snapped by hand, and the protruding nail was brand new, as if soone had just brought it over to be hamred into the ladder.
The entire incident seed like the work of a human, but no clues of human involvent were found.
The police reviewed the factory’s surveillance footage and the list of recent visitors, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
“Did anyone else die after that?” Jiangli suddenly asked.
Xia Xin nodded solemnly, “Yes…”
After the initial incident, the factory was shut down for two days before resuming normal operations.
Minsheng dicine couldn’t afford to halt production, and besides, the police hadn’t co up with any explanations.
So Minsheng dicine continued operations.
But on the second day after resuming work, another incident occurred.
“What happened this ti?” Jiangli asked with a furrowed brow.
Xia Xin looked sowhat odd, and after a mont of silence, he said, “It’s a bit eerie… According to their mission post, it was in their waste material mixer that they found a person…”
