I Became an Anonymous Boss

After a while, in the middle of the night, the lights were brightly lit, and everything was cleaned up in the center of the mourning hall.

It is not as dark and depressing as a late-night court, but it is a little more desolate and chilling because of the pure whiteness.

Outside the mourning hall, the servants guarded the candles and lanterns, and inside the mourning hall, the relevant people waited quietly.

Until the sound of footsteps from far to near.

Han Xiao turned sideways and looked outside the door. The young man walked by the light of the lantern as if strolling in the courtyard.

From the beginning to the end, this young man was like a cloud of fog, making it hard to guess.

Han Xiao will not naively think that the background information he found is the truth, he is by no means an ordinary ranger who is unknown.

Facing a person who can't see through, a person with mysterious origin and unknown purpose, he should have shown vigilance, especially in the current situation where Steward Song and Fourth Master Tantai have changed one after another, no matter how close a person is Not trustworthy.

But he didn't raise any vigilance, and he didn't carefully generate hostility and rejection because of this.

It's not that I'm not vigilant, but I don't think it's necessary.

It's like looking at a mountain covered by clouds and mist, looking up, you can't see its height, you can't see its top.

This feeling of looking up at the mountain will awaken the respect in the heart.

Han Xiao hasn't felt this way for a long time, he stepped aside and said, "Mr. Bai, please."

This son said respectfully, what he said did not pause or resist at all.

"You're welcome, Mr. Han."

Bai Taki said in his heart that he was just going to the bathroom, why are these people so serious, making me look like a judge in court.

But the domineering foreigner in camouflage will not be afraid of the stage, and it is not the first time for him to perform ventriloquist in public with his excellent talent for live performance.

There are not many people in the mourning hall, except for a few coffins, there are only a few related persons.

Steward Song had his wound bandaged and was lying on the seat. His face was pale, but his expression was already sober. It seemed that he had used harsh medicine.

Shirataki said: "I planned to read two lines of poems to adjust the atmosphere, but now that I think about it, the opening remarks should be omitted, and everyone is already here."

Tantai Ziyue nodded lightly: "The person has arrived...Young Master, please."

Steward Song sneered weakly: "What is there to say, I am the poisoner... What else do you need to prove such a simple fact? Now that it has been exposed, just kill me."

Tantai Ziyue's eyes were cold: "Are you in a hurry to die?"

Butler Song didn't answer.

Bai Taki said unhurriedly: "Song Steward, even if you took the initiative to write down the edict of guilt, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved."

"What a mystery."

"In a case, there are three clues related to the murderer." Bai Taki held up three fingers: "The identity of the murderer, the method of killing, and the motive of killing... Let's start our analysis from here."

"Song Butler's identity has been confirmed, so what about the method? It's actually very simple. The golden needle is the method of killing. He is a doctor. Through the treatment of the golden needle's point, he quietly induces a highly poisonous heart attack. Naturally, he can kill people invisible, and no one will doubt it. .”

Shirataki looked at the old man with a broken arm: "But what about the motive? What is the motive?"

"Motive?" Steward Song sneered contemptuously: "Of course I wish they would all die. I have never forgotten the past decades ago!"

"Why do you hate so much? There is no love and hate for no reason, and it takes courage to kill people. What's more, you are a doctor. It is not an easy task to use your countless medical skills to kill people." Bai Taki asked again: "Since so I hate it, why do you still have to be a housekeeper in the Tantai family for decades?"

"It's to make these idiots relax their vigilance!" Steward Song said indifferently, "Otherwise, it's impossible for me not to be suspected! Medical skills are also learned for killing people, and there is no psychological burden on the old man at all!"

"Very reasonable." Shirataki agreed with this statement: "Hidden for many years, revenge and murder, very reasonable script."

"That's how it is!"

"But!" Shirataki changed the subject: "Even if it seems reasonable, it can't explain why you didn't choose to poison everyone in the first place."

Butler Song's expression changed.

"There is such an efficient killing method as poisonous killing, why do you choose to do it yourself?" Shirataki asked.

"This, this is naturally..." Steward Song's eyes dodged for a moment, then he became firm again, and looked back at Bai Taki: "In order to watch them die, I just poisoned them. It's too cheap. I have to take revenge on this group of people." , Watching them die in struggle can be called blood for blood!"

Tantai Ziyue crushed the armrest of the seat... She almost believed it.

However, Bai Taki showed an unexpected look, and he asked, "When was the first time you used golden needles for a poisoned person?"

Steward Song's eyes shifted again, but he didn't answer.

Tantai Ziyue said: "The first day after being poisoned."

"It's very strange to say that." Bai Taki touched his chin: "The No. 1 deceased is the old lady, the No. 2 deceased is the ninth elder of the Tantai family, and the No. 3 is...their deaths all happened at the same time. After two days of being poisoned, why wait so long?"

"This……"

"When you were first poisoned, wouldn't it be less likely to be suspected if you killed someone directly?"

"I……"

"Oh." Shirataki shook his head: "When a lie appears, more lies must be used to cover it up. Once a person starts lying, he will not choose to remain silent, because silence often represents acquiescence, so he can only keep answering. But as long as you keep asking, your thinking will gradually lose the speed of fabricating lies, Steward Song, your lying skills are not very good."

The old man leaned back on the chair, his expression changed several times, and finally he sighed dejectedly, and said as if resigned to his fate: "Even if the old man lied, so what? I did kill people."

When he said this, his tone was firm.

Shirataki also affirmed this point: "You did murder, there is no doubt about it, but this is not the only thing I want to investigate." He looked at the people around him: "Do you still remember what the original purpose was?"

Tantai Ziyue slightly relaxed her tense arms, and she said: "Is...the poisoner?"

Bai Taki paused and said: "Song Steward uses poison to kill people, but that doesn't mean he is the one who poisoned... Am I right, Song Steward?"

The old man was pale and bowed his head, not answering.

Shirataki said, "Look, he acquiesced."

When Butler Song heard the words, he immediately raised his head and denied: "I didn't acquiesce!"

Shirataki smiled, and asked in a low voice, "What are you worried about?"

A murderer rushing to confess to another crime?

Steward Song's breathing gradually became rapid, and a series of scheming caught him off guard.

Although it was not a question of torture, but there were too many calculations between the question and the answer, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Han Xiao saw it in his eyes and silently sighed a few words.

The Confucian questioning heart still needs to use awe-inspiring righteousness, but he is just asking simple questions, and he can also force Steward Song to mess up, and the lies are self-defeating. It seems that he can easily understand people's hearts and distinguish lies from truth.

What kind of interrogation is this!

Applied psychology is very useful... Shirataki thought.

He verified his conjecture by testing the other party, advancing step by step.

Although he can immediately disclose the truth to the public, but this lacks an effective sense of progression and shock.

Shirataki said: "Song Butler doesn't want to say it, it's okay, then let the time turn back a little bit, and go back to the scene of the poisoning case that day, everyone knows that the fish soup was poisonous, because of the fish soup, so Anyone who drank the soup was poisoned."

He raised a finger: "But there is one exception."

Tantai Ziyue raised her eyes: "It's me..."

Shirataki said: "Missy is the only one who has tasted the fish soup but was not poisoned, so it is natural to assume that... when she drank this bowl of fish soup, there was no poison in the soup, that is, it was discovered later. Poisoned...however, we are ignoring another possibility."

Tantai Ziyue asked: "What do you want to say?"

Shirataki paused and said, "If you had taken the antidote from the beginning, then naturally it would be impossible for you to be poisoned."

Chapter 74 Unraveling the Mystery

There are two possibilities, one is that the fish soup is not poisoned; the other is that there is poison in the fish pond and you have taken the antidote.

Tantai Ziyue's face changed slightly, if according to Bai Taki's guess, she took the antidote in advance, wouldn't it prove that she was the poisoner?

But instead of rebutting immediately, she pondered the possibility.

Han Xiao frowned and said, "It's impossible for her to be the poisoner. Although there is such a possibility, it is very low."

"Although it is low, there is such a possibility." Tantai Ziyue looked calm, and she said: "Young master must be sure of what he said."

"Of course." Shirataki said, "I am seeking truth from facts."

Shirataki got a little stern, and began to explain his investigation results.

"Before, I tracked down the missing servant based on clues and went to the other's house."

"By the time I arrived, all four members of the Yi family had died."

"The cause of death was poisoning, and the signs of poisoning were completely consistent."

"After inspecting the scene, I found this."

He spread out his palm, holding a small glass bottle in which was a cloudy translucent liquid.

Tantai Ziyue looked at the bottle: "What is this?"

Shirataki said, "Poison."

Han Xiao said, "Are you persuading the poison to commit suicide?"

Shirataki said, "It's poison, but it's not suicide, because they themselves don't know that there is a strong poison here."

Steward Song lost his patience and asked, "Say it bluntly, what exactly is this?"

Bai Taki was waiting for this question, he threw the bottle forward, and it fell into Tantai Ziyue's hand.

He said, "It's fish soup."

As soon as Steward Song closed his voice, it was as if he was strangled by the neck.

Tantai Ziyue's fingers trembled slightly: "Fish soup, but why..."

Bai Taki said: "Because that servant's hands and feet were not clean, you brought the Hanquan red carp back to the Tantai family, and then began to boil it. The maids saw it, and naturally knew that this fish soup is a great tonic. You need to add a few spoonfuls of water, even if you scoop out a few bowls of soup, no one will notice... It's so simple to bring a bowl of highly poisonous fish soup home, this kind of thing is actually quite common, isn't it? "

Han Xiao was silent for a while and said, "So that family member was poisoned?"

Shirataki spread his hands: "After all, they don't have Shennong Baicao Dan to detoxify."

"What does this prove?" Steward Song snorted.

"The time for the servants to leave is in the afternoon, and the time for the dinner is after dark." Shirataki said, "Before he left, he had already taken away the fish soup, which proved that it had been poisoned during the cooking process. …The four extra victims were an accidental manslaughter, but it is precisely because of the accident that it can prove that the soup was highly poisonous during the boiling process."

Han Xiao asked: "Are you sure this is fish soup?"
