Emily Parker's lung infection had been getting worse and worse, but then suddenly she recovered. It's very likely that this was because she took cephalosporin.

Moreover, before she came to greet the bridegroom Chad Sullivan, she should have taken a large amount of cephalosporin to consolidate her recovery.

After arriving at Xianyin Pavilion, she drank heavily with Chad Sullivan, which led to a disulfiram-like reaction, and she died suddenly and silently in her sleep.

This is the bold deduction Chad Sullivan made about the truth behind Emily Parker's death.

But things aren't that simple, because Emily Parker was originally very healthy, like a leopard, yet she suddenly fell ill.

And although Chad Sullivan treated her with Chinese medicine, and the effect was a bit slow, it should have been effective.

But not only did it not help, her cough got worse and worse. Clearly, someone was continuously aggravating Emily Parker's illness.

So, this is a case of murder.

Why did the other party murder Emily Parker? Was it to silence her?

Or is there some other unspeakable conspiracy? That remains completely unknown.

The alchemist Charles Parker said coldly, "Sir, our Moonlight Powder can save countless lives. Even His Majesty the Emperor has named it a divine medicine and issued a decree to reward us.

And you say it can actually poison people to death?

Saying such things could cost you your head."

At that moment, a loud voice rang out.

"The Prefect has arrived!"

Immediately after, a troop of soldiers appeared on the road ahead, more than a hundred in total.

Moments later, these hundred warriors arrived outside Moonlight Temple. A middle-aged man with a square face dismounted, and behind him was another official, the county magistrate of Lindong, whom Chad Sullivan had met before.

Yingzhou has a total of nine counties, and just in the city there are two: Lindong and Linxi.

This square-faced middle-aged man was the Prefect of Yingzhou, William Parker, the regional governor of the Dawu Empire in Yingzhou.

David Carter stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Prefect."

William Parker said coldly, "David Carter, since when do the Night Watchers interfere in this office's cases?

Isn't that overstepping your authority?"

The Lindong county magistrate beside him said, "Chad Sullivan is the murderer of General Emily Parker, and is to be executed in three days. How can he be taken out of prison?

Guards, take him back to the death cell."

"Wait!"

David Carter shouted loudly, "Prefect, this matter concerns the truth behind your sister's death. Don't you want to know?"

"Wait!"

The Moonlight Temple alchemist Charles Parker said, "He can't leave."

The Prefect William Parker turned his gaze to Chad Sullivan.

Chad Sullivan said, "Prefect, Emily previously contracted a lung disease and was bedridden for over half a month, then suddenly recovered.

And she was on good terms with a certain alchemist from Moonlight Temple, so it was reasonable for her to take the white Moonlight Powder to treat her lung disease, right?"

Everyone tacitly agreed.

Chad Sullivan continued, "But this white Moonlight Powder is incompatible with alcohol. Taking them together will result in sudden death."

The Prefect William Parker asked, "How do you know Moonlight Powder is incompatible with alcohol?"

Chad Sullivan replied, "I enjoy reading miscellaneous books, so I know a little about alchemy as well."

Hearing this, the alchemist Charles Parker let out a disdainful snort.

A mere lowborn man, talking about alchemy in front of Moonlight Temple—what a joke, like showing off one's skills before a master, or a mad dog barking at the sun.

The Prefect William Parker asked, "Charles Parker, does Moonlight Powder have such toxic side effects?"

Mr. Charles Parker replied, "I've never heard of such a thing."

Chad Sullivan said, "And it's very easy to prove this. All we need is a dose of white Moonlight Powder and a death row prisoner."

The Prefect William Parker was silent for a moment, then turned to the alchemist from Moonlight Temple and said, "I'll trouble you, then."

Charles Parker said, "Prefect, if this man cannot prove that our Moonlight Temple's Moonlight Powder can poison people to death, then what?"

The Prefect asked, "What do you propose?"

Charles Parker said, "Chad Sullivan should pay with his life."

The Prefect William Parker said, "Agreed!"

Damn!

Prefect, I'm your future brother-in-law, and you treat my life like it's nothing?

Then, the Prefect William Parker turned to Chad Sullivan and said, "Go ahead. If you can't prove that Moonlight Powder can poison people to death, you'll die here today—consider it an early execution."

Chad Sullivan shouted, "Prepare strong liquor, prepare white Moonlight Powder, prepare a death row prisoner!

Charles Parker, today I'll let you, the great alchemy master, witness something extraordinary!"

Are there any recommendation votes left?

Chapter 11: Chad Sullivan—A Stunning Genius! This Conspiracy Is Astonishing

Then, Chad Sullivan turned to Charles Parker and said, "Please grant me the white Moonlight Powder so I can examine it."

Charles Parker sneered. This was a divine medicine that Moonlight Temple had just developed, involving the most advanced alchemical knowledge. Was it something you could examine?

But he still waved his hand, and after a moment, someone brought over two small boxes and handed them to Chad Sullivan.

Opening the boxes, the red one contained red powder, and the white one contained white powder.

Chad Sullivan stepped forward to inspect the white powder. First, he smelled it, then, risking his life, tasted a tiny bit.

Damn, it really was cephalosporin—specifically, cefazolin sodium.

This world is incredible. The alchemists have actually managed to develop cephalosporin. How is that possible?

At first glance, it clearly looks like an ancient era around the Song or Ming dynasties. How could they have developed cephalosporin?

Next comes the most important step: using a death row prisoner for the experiment.
