Wow, I can form an NPC in a survival game

Chapter 35 The Mystery of the Train (20)

Yu Anle recalled that in the orphanage copy, Mo Yuan often read biology books that he couldn't understand, and believed in his judgment. If Tony's cause of death was poisoning, then it would not be difficult to explain the later news reports that he died of a sudden heart attack.

In the Middle Ages, in the absence of high-tech medical identification methods, when no conclusive evidence of poison was found, police and doctors would often mistakenly attribute such deaths to sudden heart attacks.

Tony's body was still lying on the edge of the gaming table, unmoved. His wife and friends gathered not far away, Selena was in tears, and others were trying to comfort her.

Due to the limitations of the copy time conversion, Yu Anle was unable to go back 30 minutes to observe the reactions of several NPCs, and could only look for details of the crime in his memories of the scene.

In the last round, she and Mo Yuan observed in the past scene that Tony, Agnes, Lei Duo and Michael were playing poker at the gambling table, and Tony won a round. Nurse Alice stood aside as a spectator.

At first, Selena and her assistant Anthony were near the bar, but then a waiter's glass was knocked over at the card table, and the two heard the commotion and rushed to the gambling table.

Near the gambling table, six NPCs all had contact with Tony. Does this mean that everyone could be a suspect of poisoning, and how could the murderer have poisoned Tony?

This was the first time that Yang Lizi and Dongfang Xi entered this past scene, and their knowledge of the circumstances before the murder was limited to the information told by Yu Anle.

Fortunately, Yang Lizi now showed great initiative. She began to examine the surrounding environment, and Dongfang Xi was also full of energy, trying to keep up with the thinking rhythm of everyone.

Mo Yuan squatted down and looked at the state of Tony's body more carefully, while checking his clothes, hoping to find more clues. He found that Tony's pockets were empty. He clearly remembered that Tony had taken out a pocket watch during the Solitaire game and then put it back into his jacket pocket.

Mo Yuan squatted down and carefully checked the state of the body and Tony's clothes to find more clues - Tony's pockets were empty, and his diamond pocket watch was indeed missing. During the previous poker game, he was sure that he saw Tony take out the pocket watch and put it back into his shirt pocket.

Tony's diamond pocket watch was indeed missing, which made him more convinced that this might be a murder case for money.

He began to think about Agnes' motives and actions, as well as his wife Ledo's background, and perhaps he could find more clues from them. As the daughter of a fallen noble, Ledo might be able to assess the value of the diamond pocket watch, and did this trigger their idea of ​​theft and murder?

But the question remains, what was the murder weapon? Could the poison have been added to the alcohol Tony drank?

Mo Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the scene when the crime happened: When Selina and assistant Anthony rushed to the gambling table, Selina ordered the waiter to bring drinks to everyone, and then Agnes took the drink from the waiter and handed it to Tony...

He looked at the gambling table. If his memory was correct, Tony was drinking a glass of dark red aged red wine. Although the gambling table was later overturned and became a mess, fortunately, only Tony's drink was dark. Mo Yuan successfully found the glass of wine that still had a thin layer of wine at the bottom of Tony's glass.

He put his finger into the rim of the cup, collecting evidence that was a reasonable item interaction in the copy.

Mo Yuan carefully dipped a few drops of wine and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The smell was normal, but that didn't rule out the possibility that it was some kind of colorless and odorless neurotoxin. His mind was constantly piecing together these clues, trying to restore the full picture of the crime.

Yu Anle looked at Mo Yuan worriedly: "Mo Yuan, if you drink it directly, what if the wine is really poisonous?"

Mo Yuan smiled and replied comfortingly: "Sister, don't worry, I only took a very small amount. Even if it is poisonous, it will only cause very mild discomfort."

He waited for a moment, then shook his head affirmatively: "There is nothing wrong with the red wine. The source of Tony's poisoning is not in the wine glass."

Yang Lizi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the rim of the cup was smeared with poison? I've seen similar plots in detective novels."

Mo Yuan lifted the transparent glass and held it under the light for a closer look. He carefully examined the glass wall and found no fingerprints or other marks except for the traces of Tony drinking.

But if the murderer didn't put the poison in the drink, how did he poison Tony?

Neurotoxins take a very short time to work, usually no more than 10 to 30 minutes, so Tony must have been poisoned in the scene they had just seen.

Yu Anle closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene of the crime again, hoping to find some key details.

She recalled that Selena came to the gambling table with her assistant Anthony. Ledo said she wanted to take a break, so Tony gave the chips to Anthony and asked him to continue playing instead.

"Oh, right! After the first deck of cards was soiled, they changed to another deck." Yu Anle suddenly remembered.

Yang Lizi hurriedly bent down to check the poker cards on the gambling table. "Hey, why is the second deck of cards also wet?"

She tried to pick up a few cards that were soaked with drinks or alcohol and had mottled stains on them, but she couldn't get any more useful information.

Mo Yuan suddenly remembered a habitual action of Tony when playing cards. He quickly turned around and ran back to Tony's body, quickly grabbed Tony's right hand for a careful inspection.

Yu Anle saw Mo Yuan's nervous movements and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Mo Yuan, what did you find?"

While carefully examining it, Mo Yuan replied, "Sister, come and take a look."

Yu Anle walked to Mo Yuan's side and squatted down. Her eyes fell on Tony's right thumb and found a long scratch there. The wound was not big, but there was a little dried blood.

She imagined the scene at that time and speculated: "Looking at the shape of the scratch, I guess Tony didn't feel much pain at the time, or the toxin may have had a certain paralyzing effect, so he didn't realize the danger in time."

Mo Yuan said: "I have been watching them play cards before, and I found that Tony has an unconscious action at the gambling table. He will repeatedly use his thumb to feel the edge of the playing cards.

If the killer knew him well, it is possible that a card could have been ‘treated’, such as by sharpening the edges or coating it with a toxin. In this way, whenever the card was dealt to Tony, his finger would have been cut and the neurotoxin would have entered his body through his bloodstream.

Yu Anle added: "And now the cards on the gambling table have been wet and dirty again. Even if Tony's poisoning is discovered, the murderer has successfully erased the evidence! If all this was arranged by the murderer, then the sudden fire and smoke in the center of the stage was also the result of the murderer's pre-planned plan."
