I Became an Anonymous Boss

"Do you want to check the origin of the killer?"

"It can be found out that they don't need to be killers anymore, it's better to report to MI[-]."

"Hmm..." Tantai Ziyue couldn't figure out why.

"A group of killers deliberately waited for you to leave the Yanyun Mansion before attacking, and the other party didn't want to make a big mess of the corpse, but I am an ordinary ranger and petty citizen. If you die, you will die. No one cares." Bai Taki thought for a while: "But the other party I intend to capture you alive, which is worth pondering."

"Is it any good for an assassin to kill me?"

"The advantage? The advantage is that there is no proof of death. As long as you die and the body is buried, the news of your disappearance will spread throughout Jinling, but everyone will regard your escape as absconding in fear of crime, and no one will investigate behind it." Bai Taki said indifferently. He said: "Whether it is to attack the prestige of the Tantai family or to ensure the safety of the mastermind behind the scenes, killing you is the best choice... But there is a reason for not doing so. Guess what reason?"

"Why do you want to arrest me?" Tantai Ziyue thought for a while: "Maybe there is a plan, maybe I need to be a hostage..."

"Having a plot is just nonsense. Tantai's thousand-year-old family was poisoned and a large number of people were poisoned, and then the assassins attacked. Naturally, there is a secret purpose."

"The purpose is..."

"You think I've read the script?" Bai Taki shook his head, "I can see that I'm still analyzing a hammer."

"Mr. Bai." Miss Tantai said quietly: "Can you please, don't say everything like this..." She suddenly reacted at this point: "Ah, Mr. Bai, are you deliberately trying to help me? "

...Your reflex arc can go to work as a civil servant in Animal City.

Shirataki was not lucky either: "Yes...but not for free."

"I know!" Tantai Ziyue said seriously: "I will be responsible!"

"Actually, I'm not willing to accept it either." Shirataki said, "Because it's too complicated, whether it's helping you clear your grievances, or finding the real poisoner."

"I know." Tantai Ziyue said sincerely: "Whether you succeed or not, I will never let the elders blame you, Mr. Bai."

"Blame?" Bai Taki crossed his arms and said, "It doesn't matter."

...Believe me, this unreliable person has a [-]% chance of screwing things up.

… Unless I go to Huang Laoxian’s live broadcast room to brush a rocket and ask him to try to milk me, it is possible to reverse probability.

...If it really messed up, I would definitely run away.

"Ugly words come first." Shirataki showed his cards straight: "The real reason I promised to help you is because you have already tied me to a thief ship. If I don't help you find out to the end, I won't feel at ease in my heart."

Another Bloody Clothes Building, another thousand-year-old family.

Two groups of assassins popped up one after another, it was really sloppy.

At least one of them must be resolved before considering the other, otherwise the two parties will get together and it will turn into a wave of happy three-party melee.

He said: "In order to prevent me from having trouble sleeping in the future, this time is considered a special case, thanks to this group of assassins who don't have eyesight...Since we have decided to cooperate, you must cooperate with me throughout the process."

Tantai Ziyue nodded: "I remember."

"Very good." Bai Taki said: "Accompany me back to Linglong Xiaozhu first, what happened, I will slowly listen to you to explain."

Chapter 62 Is the fish soup you mentioned fragrant?

Back at Linglong Xiaozhu, listening to Tantai Ziyue tell a story.

Her experience is also very simple to say, and can be understood as a few simple paragraphs.

In the first paragraph, the red carp from Hanquan was obtained; in the second paragraph, returning to the Tantai family; in the third paragraph, preparing for the dinner party; As a suspect, he was locked up; in the sixth paragraph, he escaped from the family secretly.

The developments are actually so straightforward that there are no twists and turns.

But Shirataki still smelled something unusual.

His ingenuity is not limited to being able to cope with the test questions. If he is not smart enough, he will not be admitted to Huzhou University, but smartness is relative. Things like detecting cases and the truth often require a lot of experience.

Different from the few clues given in games and copywriting, the clues obtained in reality are often...too many.

The number of clues is outrageous, so accurately judging which direction is reliable for investigation is the necessary ability and intuition for a seasoned criminal policeman.

But in this world where flying to the sky and escaping from the ground at every turn, where monsters, buddhas and ghosts are everywhere, the laws of physics are often rubbed against the ground. Some masters pick leaves and flowers from a distance of a hundred steps and throw them lightly, and the head of the target person falls to the ground. Looking for the murderer?

Even if the fingerprints can be detected from the leaves, if the opponent's body is ice, he directly pinches a piece of ice and smashes it into the deceased's heart, and the ice melts into water, and there is no proof of death.

Therefore, few people would design too complicated murders, and the difficulty of reasoning in this case skyrocketed.

Who would have imagined that the murderer could hold his breath and feign death, or push a huge boulder, or shrink from a mouse hole into a room to assassinate?

What?Blizzard Villa?Blizzard counts as a ball, and the innate sixth heavenly king realm directly resists the avalanche physically?To your sister's blizzard, who can stop me if I want to leave, and who can stop me if I want to kill someone?

This is indeed very unreasonable, but reasonable people are often honest people, and they like to bully honest people too many times.

Strict basic reasoning is almost impossible in this world.

Fortunately, because the method of the case is not complicated, it reduces the difficulty of investigating the case to a certain extent.

If you really encountered a particularly complicated method, it would be a good thing, because the murderer has a high probability of not having the possibility to complete the crime neatly, either his cultivation level is low, or he is simply an ordinary person... There is also a very small possibility Sex is a maze.

As for the poisoning case, it belongs to the relatively simple category.

But because it is an after-the-fact investigation, how many traces can be found depends on how negligent the murderer is.

Shirataki knew he was not good at this, so he could only ask as detailed as possible.

Basically, every question has an answer. If you are not sure, write it down temporarily and draw a question mark.

"Are you sure, is the red carp poisonous?" Shirataki asked.

"Only that dish is poisonous." Tantai Ziyue said confidently, "I verified it myself...I checked it with livestock."

"Who has eaten that dish?"

"Basically all the elders ate at one table." Tantai Ziyue recalled: "There are more than ten people in total. The elders and younger ones of the Tantai family are different, and they will not sit at the same table, but different tables for different generations."

"There is only one red carp, so it must be dedicated to the elders." Bai Taki said: "One is too big to eat, so it must be the final main course."

"So the elders took a few bites."

"All poisoned?"

"Correct."

"Are you sure they're all poisoned?" Shirataki asked, "Is there anyone who hasn't eaten red carp soup?"

"I didn't pay much attention to this." Tantai Ziyue said: "Because it is relatively rare, I think the elders tasted a few mouthfuls of fish soup, so they were all poisoned."

"Poisoned, but not dead."

"Hmm..." Tantai Ziyue's complexion was not good-looking: "But they all lost the ability to move, their bodies twitched, and their body temperature kept changing."

"This poison is so powerful? Can't it be stopped by innate?"

"Some uncles tried to exercise to suppress the toxin, but the red carp's poison spread too fast and couldn't be contained." Tantai Ziyue recalled the scene at the time, and she couldn't help but look gloomy: "I don't know what the poison is, I don’t dare to use drugs indiscriminately, I can only temporarily seal the acupoints to prevent the spread of toxins.”

"Not fatal?" Shirataki asked again.

"The toxin is terrible, and it can also be fatal." Tantai Ziyue said: "The toxin attack is very fast, and it will have an effect within a moment after eating it, and it also has the effect of dispersing qi... Originally, our younger generations also felt the same after the elders finished eating. You can share some fish soup, but because the poison spreads very quickly, I didn't get any."

"The toxicity is fierce, but so far there has been no bad news."

"No." Tantai Ziyue said: "The Tantai family bought Suyimen's Shennong Baicao Pill, temporarily suppressing the toxicity."

"It's strange to say that." Shirataki said, "From the very beginning, the target was the elders. They used strong poison, but they failed to kill anyone, and there was no change after that. For example, further assassinations..."

"No, there are many elite martial artists in the family, and there are also honored guests. Even if the elders are poisoned, no one would dare to trespass here." Tantai Ziyue wanted to say this confidently: "I also failed to resist. Elder Passing Guest, so he was thrown into the confinement room."

"Is it possible that Ke Qing seized power?"

"Impossible." Tantai Ziyue shook her head: "The dozen or so elders are not all of the Tantai family, my father and mother are both in the imperial capital, and the one who stays in Jinling is the acting head of the family, and there are many other elders who hold official positions in other places. , even if the guest lords kill all the bloodlines of the Tantai family, they will not get any benefits, and besides... the elder guest lord who is currently in charge of the situation is my father's sworn brother and also my adoptive father."

... Isn't it better for acquaintances to seize power?I have made up a lot of new and old hatreds in my brain.

Bai Taki thought so, but didn't say it, but tapped his fingers: "Since this is impossible, it's interesting, who is the poisoner, and what is the purpose? Didn't let the Tantai family Really dead, is it just for warning?"

Tantai Ziyue lowered her head: "Ziyue is stupid, she can't figure it out."

"That's right...then let's start with the simple part." Shirataki tapped his fingers, and the aroma of apricot blossoms cleared his mind: "Let's start with the poison. Since it is poison, it is the poison in the food, or Where did the poison come from?"

Tantai Ziyue said: "Cook?"

"This should have been checked." Bai Taki couldn't believe that no one checked this.

"I don't know about the other dishes, but this fish soup..." Tantai Ziyue said, "I cooked it myself."

"Oh?" Shirataki was surprised: "You actually know how to cook?"

"Young master! That's not the point!" Tantai Ziyue puffed her face: "I specially made the medicinal food, the taste has been improved, it's for grandma, grandma is getting old and needs to nourish her body, so I went to the bamboo forest to get cold spring red carp, after which it was boiled for about twelve hours."

"Isn't the fish all rotten?"

"This is good. Remove all the thorns. The essence of fish meat and fish soup are no longer distinguishable from each other. Add a little medicinal materials for seasoning, and you don't even need to add too many supplements, such as ginseng and antler, all of which are unnecessary. Add a few Red dates and lotus seeds can be boiled, and water should be added three times during the process, and the fire should be simmered slowly..."

"Stop, stop, I'm not here to listen to your cooking explanation, do you want to say that this thing will not only glow, but also explode your clothes after eating?"

"……how do you know?"

"It's not important!" Shirataki's eyelids twitched, "Get to the point!"

He asked with a serious expression, "Is your fish soup delicious?"

He corrected it in the next second: "No, I was led astray by you. Has your fish soup been poisoned?"

"I, I don't know..." Tantai Ziyue said hesitantly: "I boiled the fish in my own yard. I planned to watch it all the time, but was called by my grandmother to chat with her. Taste the citrus grown by my grandmother, although I told the maid to watch the fire carefully, but I really... don’t know if anyone has gone in or out.”

"But the fish soup is delicious." Shirataki asked abruptly.

"It's really good...Eh?" Tantai Ziyue had a strange expression: "Didn't the young master bring two fish back? I should know the taste myself."

...But I gave it for nothing!

Shirataki didn't want to mention this matter: "I'm just asking you about Yutang."

"The taste is very good, without the slightest earthy smell, full of aura, one bite, I just feel..."

"Enough." Bai Taki didn't really want to hear, but said with certainty: "It seems that you have drunk."

"I drank it, tasted it, isn't it very positive...huh?!" Tantai Ziyue suddenly noticed: "Yes, I drank it!"

"And more than once." Shirataki asked, "When was the last time you tasted it?"

"It should be the last time it comes out of the pot." Tantai Ziyue recalled carefully: "I tasted it, but I didn't get poisoned."

"That proves that this pot of fish soup is supposed to be non-toxic, at least it wasn't poisoned when you boiled it." Shirataki was obviously relieved: "This also proves that the ingredients themselves are also non-toxic."

"Hmm..." Tantai Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, otherwise I'm really worried that I won't be able to prove whether it's the red carp's problem."
