your cigarettes

With a steep wall more than ten meters high, it is very difficult for a car to drive in, let alone a robber who walks on two legs?So please rest assured that it is absolutely safe here. "

"Mr. Police, my mother was just frightened, please follow me." Bai Chenmu walked over and said politely.

"Hmph." The fourth lady held up her very retro gorgeous pleated skirt, and lit the cigar in her hand under the maid's dress: "If you can't check it well, don't think that you can still stay in your current position."

Hearing what the fourth lady said, the oldest policeman said with a sneer, "You are all criminal suspects now, so you may not know who will be dragged away by us."

Because it has not yet been known what caused Wei Ya to faint, the police did not file a case directly, but first calmed down everyone in the living room, and began to ask about the incident one by one.

Bai Chenmu was sitting next to him very relaxedly. When he heard that Wei Ya suddenly bleed blood from his nose and then fainted while clutching his neck, his complexion didn't change at all. The older police officer looked at him for a while and walked over He smiled and said, "You don't look panicked at all, why?"

Jia Le took a step forward worriedly, standing between the two of them.

Bai Chenmu lowered his eyes slightly, said: "It's okay," and then looked directly at the police officer: "Bai Chenmu and I were upstairs when the incident happened, and we had left the hall for about 15 minutes, and then we heard a woman screaming I just went downstairs, it should be 25:[-] at that time, and I have a sufficient proof of absence. Secondly, we kept the scene very well and did not touch anything. I also checked Wei Ya a little bit, and his pupils constricted. There is a small amount of blood in the nasal cavity, which should be caused by destructive bacteria, and the nasal mucosa is damaged. Now that you have sent him to the hospital, the condition should be found out soon, but I think this should be man-made."

The police officer frowned deeply: "You don't look like a teenager at all, who asked you to tell me these things?" He looked at Homesick, and then glanced at the people next to him.

Bai Chenmu moved a chair, sat down with his legs propped up, and said lightly, "I have a family teacher who is a forensic doctor. He once taught me medical knowledge and human body structure for a period of time. bill."

The police officer seemed to have nothing to say to him for a while, and after a while, he said, "I will investigate what you said, but right now, I think you are the most suspicious."

"Really?" Bai Chenmu took Jiale's hand and pressed it to her face, and said calmly, "This doesn't sound like good news."

43

By the time the police officers finished recording and leaving together, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night. Jiale yawned, his head tilted forward uncontrollably, and he woke up when he was about to stick it on the table. Repeated several times, It's like nodding with someone, which is very interesting.

"Jia Le..." Bai Chenmu stretched out his hand to push him: "Wake up, go upstairs to sleep."

Jia Le raised her head, her eyes could not be opened, and there was a black and blue handprint made by Bai Chenmu on her chin: "Can I go to bed?"

Bai Chenmu took a deep breath, lightly touched Jiale's chin, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Hiss—" Jia Le became half awake in an instant, and Bai Chenmu immediately let go of her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her body stiffened, neither moving nor moving.

Jia Le rubbed her eyes, and when she saw Bai Chenmu's unconcealable guilt, she scratched her head and said, "It's okay, the pain has been gone for a long time... Didn't you say you can go to sleep? Let's go."

"Well," Bai Chenmu stretched out his hand, waved it in the air, then took it back, turned around and went upstairs first.

Seeing him like that, Jia Le's heart suddenly softened, and when he walked past him a few steps, he stretched out his little finger to hook his middle finger, Bai Chenmu turned to look at him, and Jia Le immediately turned away.

There are only a few floors in the stairs, Jia Le and Bai Chenmu's rooms are in the opposite direction, Jia Le let go of her little finger, but Bai Chenmu hugged her waist the next moment.

"You..." Jia Le spit out this word, but couldn't continue the following words.He knows that Bai Chenmu is kind to him, but this is not the reason why he can hurt himself at will.

Bai Chenmu predicted one excuse after another in his mind, and after making a choice, he put on a look of apprehension and asked, "Can you sleep with me tonight?"

Jia Le immediately pushed Bai Chenmu away!

"Do you know what you're talking about?!" Jia Le suddenly remembered the kiss a few hours ago...it was his first kiss!Are foreign children so open?They are all men!

Bai Chenmu didn't think about that. Although he said that he was an adult and people would believe him, but because of his personality, he had read a lot of books before even wanting to get closer to Jiale, let alone have sex. This kind of teaching material that does not exist in his bookcase at all, he faced Jia Le's embarrassing and embarrassing anger in a daze, and after repeated thinking, he could only conclude that Jia Le still had a grudge because of the previous quarrel.

Thinking of this, his feigned sadness was actually showing his true feelings.

Jia Le was soft-hearted, and struggled for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that even he couldn't believe it: "Then... only today." He whispered.

"Of course!" Bai Chenmu immediately smiled, and led Jiale to open the door.

The room was still the same as it was before the two left. The bed was a bit messy, and there was a medicine box on it. Bai Chenmu seemed to be hiding something good. After Jiale entered the room, he immediately locked it, and quickly walked over to remove the medicine box. Close it, make the bed, and pull back the quilt without even changing your clothes.

"Chen Mu, are you going to take a shower?" Jia Le's face was getting redder and redder, he applied the back of his hand to it, his heart was beating a little faster, he borrowed a book once, and accidentally saw a romance novel, which was about a The first love of the two students, Jiale stayed up all night to watch it several times, and could always bring his own into the heroine inexplicably, and then fantasized about the acquaintance and love with that handsome boy.He doesn't know that his psychology is abnormal, but occasionally looking at himself in the mirror, he can't help thinking: If I were a woman, what would I look like...

"Oh, yes, I forgot." Bai Chenmu opened the closet to get pajamas, handed them to Jiale Room with the same style as her, and said, "This is for you."

"I brought pajamas." Jia Le said.

"Put this on." Bai Chenmu put the pajamas next to Jiale, walked to the shower room, and couldn't help but turn back and hug Jiale.

Jia Le felt that he was really going to die because of his rapid heart rate, he stood up and said, "I'll go to my room to wash, and come back after washing, okay?"

Bai Chenmu's slender eyes were dim, he let go of his hand: "You wash here, I'll go there."

"That's not good." Jia Le made a gesture to stand up.

Bai Chenmu pushed him down with one hand, fell on the bed, tilted his head, and said, "I take a shower faster, so I'll do it quickly." After finishing speaking, before Jia Le could answer, he picked up his clothes go out.

Jia Le watched Bai Chenmu go out, sat alone for a while, and waited until his face was not so hot before opening the door and going into the bathroom.

Over there, Bai Chenmu pulled up her long hair with one hand, opened the window of Jiale's room, slid down the fence, and pushed open the kitchen window...

He just thought that if Weiya was really poisoned, there must be something wrong with the dinner.

☆、Thirteen midnight (five)

The kitchen windows were not locked, and the window sills were cleaned spotlessly.

Bai Chenmu breathed a sigh of relief, and put his feet with shoes and socks on them with confidence.If it's dusty, he'll have to figure out a way to open the window without messing up the dust.

Pushing open a gap small enough to slip through, Bai Chenmu took a deep breath, swung the hand holding the rope forward, and landed gently.

The kitchen is open and decorated, with marble counters on both sides, a dishwasher and a cooking table on the left, and a refrigerator, cabinets, and oven on the right.

Bai Chenmu suddenly felt a strange sense of disobedience. He looked around and felt that he was thinking too much.

Bite on the small flashlight, he tiptoedly opened the cabinet and other places where things could be easily hidden. Unfortunately, he found nothing but a pack of rat medicine. He calculated that the time was almost up, turned off the flashlight, and returned the same way.

Jia Le had already washed it clean, and stayed in the room waiting for a long time. Before Bai Chenmu left, he deliberately turned on the shower in the bathroom, which did not arouse Jia Le's suspicion.

After Bai Chenmu jumped into the bathroom, he took off his clothes while applying shampoo on his hair. The water soaked his clothes, so he stuffed them into the washing machine and set the automatic laundry time.

"Dangdang." Jia Le couldn't stand it any longer, and knocked on the door: "Chen Mu, have you finished washing?"

"Immediately." Chen Mu melted the rubber gloves in her hand into the potion prepared earlier in the morning, checked all the details on her body, put on the same style of pajamas as Jia Le, and opened the door with a smile: "Home Le, are you in a hurry?"

Jia Le lowered her head not to look at Bai Chenmu, and said, "No."

Bai Chenmu was very puzzled that Jia Le was sitting on the bed instead of lying under the quilt. He touched Jia Le's slightly damp hair and said, "Come here, I'll dry your hair for you."

"No need." Jia Le said, "The hair is already dry."

"I'll catch a cold." Bai Chenmu turned on the maximum wind power, dried his hair a few times, then turned his head and said, "Come here."

Jia Le is very disgusted when other people's hands are placed on his hair. Every time he has to wait until the hair grows to cover his eyes, he wants to refuse again, but sees Bai Chenmu sinking down. Face hesitated, walked over slowly, said: "Okay, hurry up."

Bai Chenmu's slender fingers pushed on the hair dryer, and the wind was at its lowest in an instant, not even a scrap of paper could be blown away. He put his hand in Jiale's hair and gently stroked it, asking: "Do you feel uncomfortable? "

"It's not uncomfortable." Jia Le said, Bai Chenmu's hand was very gentle, and it was quite comfortable to press on his head. "I'm not asking this," Bai Chenmu laughed, "I'm asking if this kind of behavior will affect your body's reaction."

"... Oh." Jia Le scratched his face.In fact, when Bai Runze put his hand on his head, he realized that he didn't resist so much: "It's not uncomfortable, hehe."

Bai Chenmu couldn't help poking the dimple on Jiale's face, and his brain began to recall what he saw in the kitchen just now that felt wrong.

"Is your hair dry?" Jia Le asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's done." Bai Chenmu let go of his hand.

When Jia Le thought about what would happen soon, his face felt hot again. He shrank into the quilt, watched Bai Chenmu turn off the lamp, and then lay down in the quilt.

Bai Chenmu leaned over and kissed Qin Jiale's forehead, and suddenly remembered that she walked in through the window, and usually, the maid did come in through the door opposite the window, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, cabinet... By the way, cabinets!

Jia Le hooked Bai Chenmu's neck shyly, wanting Bai Chenmu to lower her head slightly and kiss her lips.

Bai Chenmu was thinking about something when he was pressed by Jia Le's arm and hit Jia Le's lips directly. He was startled, and hurriedly got up to turn on the light. Jia Le covered his mouth and said, "It's like a wound in my mouth It's bleeding again."

"Sorry, let me see." Bai Chenmu was full of guilt.

Jia Le's wound is not too serious, but he is usually a little malnourished, and he is not used to eating after coming to country A, so he has ulcers already, and the wound just covered two ulcers, making it difficult to stick out his tongue now. pain.

Bai Chenmu waited until he put on the plaster before discovering Jiale's oral ulcers. He took two instant medicine patches and pasted them on, and said: "It's best not to talk, and don't lick the wound, otherwise it will hurt more and more. Go to bed early tonight." , it will be almost fine the day after tomorrow.”

Jia Le nodded and asked in a low voice, "Then shall we still do it today?"

"What are you doing?" Bai Chenmu tilted his head unusually dull.

"Didn't you ask me to come and sleep with you..." Jia Le felt that his hands and feet were a little cold.

"That's right," Bai Chenmu said, "Aren't you afraid when you see Wei Ya being poisoned?"

"Did you let me come here because you were afraid?" Jia Le asked.

Bai Chenmu thought for a while, although he didn't feel anything about it, but he couldn't find any good excuse, so he nodded and said, "Well, that's it."

Jia Le stopped asking questions. He showed a sad expression, rolled over and got under the quilt, covering his head.

"It's not good to cover your head, you can't breathe well, and your nose will inhale more dust." Bai Chenmu stretched out his hand and pulled his quilt inexplicably.

Jia Le's eyes were all red, and he tightly clenched his hands and refused to let go.

Bai Chenmu sighed, stretched out his hand to turn off the lamp, and was in no mood to think about what happened today. After waiting for a long time, listening to Jiale's breathing gradually stabilized, he turned sideways and hugged Jiale from behind, breathing deeply on his body. Taste, eyes closed.

In the morning, Bai Chenmu opened the curtains, saw a police car driving through the door, and said, "Jia Le, Wei Ya may be dead."

Jia Le was shocked: "How do you know?"

"Come and see," he pointed to the police car below: "Veriya should have died early in the morning, and the police started filing a case, so we came here early in the morning."

Jia Le didn't believe it: "It's also possible that after Uncle Wei Ya was rescued, they came to ask... Uh, it doesn't seem to be smooth."

"If you don't believe me, you can gamble with me once." Bai Chenmu opened the cabinet, tidied up the mirror inside, closed his eyes suddenly, and read: "Five-four-three-two-"

Jia Le bent over to tie his shoelaces: "What are you talking about?"

"Crack!" The door was kicked open suddenly.

Jia Le's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, he saw the older police officer he saw last night, smoking a cigarette, and said, "Boys, go downstairs."

Jia Le looked at Bai Chenmu, who came over and patted Jia Le on the shoulder: "Let's go, your wound is not healed yet, I'll ask the maid to make you something easy to digest... Forget it, or I'll do it for you."

"Will you do it?" Jia Le asked.

"Of course, please trust me." Bai Chenmu smiled.

Jia Le was a little tangled up again.Does Bai Chenmu really like herself?Or is it self-indulgent?

The police officer knocked on the door panel and reminded: "You still have time to talk about this, go down quickly, or you will cry bitterly."

"Officer, please don't scare us." Bai Chenmu pointed to himself: "I'm still a minor, according to the law, I can sue you for improper behavior in handling the case, and there is a great chance of winning."

The police officer crooked his mouth: "You..."

Bai Chenmu said: "Also, put down the cigarette, it's not good for our health, do you need me to show you the popular science book on the consequences of inhaling second-hand smoke?"

The police officer took a deep breath and exhaled a perfect smoke ring: "You little fool who doesn't understand middle-aged men's hobbies at all, hurry up and go downstairs, for your own good."

The author has something to say:

☆、Thirteen midnight (six)

Downstairs, the maid was fanning the fourth wife, and the driver Vito sat on the other side, answering the police officer's questions.

Seeing Bai Chenmu, the fourth lady shed tears instantly: "Yves, you will never believe that Wei Ya died."

Bai Chenmu looked back and missed Jia Le, but Jia Le didn't have the time to think about the bet at this time, and asked, "He...wasn't he just poisoned yesterday?"

The police officer who was interrogating Vito's driver explained: "He was poisoned by arsenic, and the chance of being rescued is very low. He was in shock when he was sent to the hospital, and he died in the early morning after the rescue failed."

"Are the police officers here to investigate the case?" Bai Chenmu's voice was clear and cold.

The police officer carefully looked at Bai Chenmu's expression, and nodded cautiously: "That's right, so I hope you can cooperate."

"Please don't worry, I will do this." Bai Chenmu sat on the sofa opposite the fourth lady, with her legs crossed and her hands folded on her knees, still looking calm about honor or disgrace.

Of course, when he said this, everyone including Jiale didn't quite believe it.

47

Although Bai Chenmu seemed to be the most suspicious person, because he and Jia Le had sufficient alibi, after a round of investigation, they identified the suspect as the fourth lady who had met with Weila alone before the meal. On the maid who made dinner.

The maid's lips turned white, and her fingers kept trembling. The fourth lady felt sorry for this old man who had been with her for many years. She patted the other's hand lightly and said, "I very much hope that you can be more efficient and get the prisoner out of the way." Find out."

"We will, ma'am, there is no doubt about it." The elderly police officer finally smoked all the cigarettes in his box, he reluctantly inhaled the last residue, pressed out the cigarette butt, and said: "But according to the With this procedure, we think the prisoner will show up soon." He looked at the fourth lady.

The fourth lady clenched her skirt tightly, pretending to be calm.

Jia Le was very worried, and asked Bai Chenmu in a low voice, "Is Madam okay?"

Without any psychological pressure, Bai Chenmu said, "You shouldn't ask me this question, because I'm not the murderer who killed Wei Ya. In other words, if my mother really killed her, I don't feel any doubt .”

"How can you think so?" Jia Le was very puzzled.

"It seems that you don't understand me yet." Bai Chenmu replied.

The two were whispering, and suddenly a man shouted from upstairs: "Oh, my God, you won't believe what my eyes saw?!"

Everyone looked up and focused on the opened door. A police officer rushed out with a bottle of colorless potion: "There is such a dangerous thing here! Captain, look!"

Jiale's face turned pale in an instant.

The older officer narrowed his eyes, put on his cap and walked upstairs, asking, "What's that in your hand?"

"Arsenic trisulfide, it should be the thing that caused the poisoning of Weirya." The young police officer looked excited.

"How do you know it's this thing?" The older police officer looked left and right, and said, "I think it's a bottle of water."

"Ho... Please, I'm a medical student, okay? Just look at the storage location and you can guess it." The police officer thought for a while, and then said: "No, it's not too cautious, I think I'd better go now Go back and test the ingredients of the potion, and then bring it over."

The old police officer went downstairs again, and suddenly smiled at everyone. Those two pointed canine teeth were like chaos in Erebus's hands forever, suddenly restarting, which was creepy: "Things have developed to this point, I think The answer is coming soon, and you should know that for a case investigator like me, a simple poisoning is much better than a long-calculated inexplicable poisoning incident. Now, I ask you all—whose room belongs to ?”

"My..." Jia Le tightly grasped Bai Chenmu's hand.

"Unexpected," said the inspector.

Bai Chenmu reminded him: "Jia Le didn't go back last night, only I went to his shower room to take a shower, and he still has an alibi."

"Is the door of the shower room locked?" Mr. Police Officer said: "When you are in the shower, can you see what is happening outside the door?"

Hearing these words, Bai Chenmu felt a little relieved, and said, "I think you still don't understand the situation, you should go upstairs to see for yourself." He glanced at his watch: 23:36, then looked at The big clock in the hall: [-]:[-].

...Why is the time out of date?

Bai Chenmu stood up and asked, "Mr. Police Officer, although I know that you are eager to catch the prisoner, we still need to eat. Can you give me 10 minutes? By the way, have you had breakfast yet?" ?”

"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it." The police officer smiled and nodded his empty cigarette case: "I need cigarettes more than food."

Bai Chenmu's smile faded, he glanced at him coldly, pulled Jia Le to stand up: "Go, help me make breakfast together."

48

Bai Chenmu glanced around the kitchen, there was no discrepancy with what he saw in his memory last night, he opened the cupboard, sure enough, the knives were placed on the left, he opened the window and stretched out his head to look around, except for this window sill and the window sill of Jiale’s room, the rest of the There is more or less a layer of light gray floating.

"What are you looking at?" Jiale flipped through the food in the refrigerator and asked, "What do you think is better to do in the morning?"

"Why didn't I see you scared this time?" Bai Chenmu joked, "When Anna died a few days ago, you were gloomy for several days."

Jia Le scratched her hair: "Can you stop reminding me? I'd still be scared, but this time I didn't see the corpse..."

"I really don't understand you." Bai Chenmu said, "Don't overthink it too much. If the police don't find the murderer in the end, they will use you or me to make up the bill...Actually, I think it will be me in the end." record is relatively large.”

"Why do you always say this kind of thing." Jia Le complained: "Before the matter is discussed clearly, can these be blocked? I just want to have a simple breakfast, and I believe in the police officers' ability to handle cases."

"Jia Le, what you think is so perfect," Bai Chenmu laughed softly, "Believe it or not, after breakfast, I will be handcuffed and taken to the police station."

Jia Le really didn't dare to bet with him this time, he looked at the other party nervously, the feeling of being worried made Bai Chenmu very useful, he pinched Jia Le's ears, and said: "But The way to save me is also very simple, I just need you to do me a small favor," he lowered his eyes, his voice was low and bewitching: "You, can you agree?"

The author has something to say:

☆、Thirteen midnight (seven)

Chilling on Jia Le's back, he hesitated, "...what do you want me to do?"

Bai Chenmu opened the cabinet, picked up the kitchen knife with his left hand, twirled it lightly, put it on the board, and said, "It's a very simple favor, just calculate the time."

To be honest, Bai Chenmu's cooking skills are not very good, maybe his jam toast can make people's eyes shine, but it definitely does not include the burnt vegetable porridge.

The fourth lady was still in high spirits at first, but just took a spoon to taste the taste, she smiled and said that she was not hungry anymore.

The maid pursed her lips and walked into the kitchen. Bai Chenmu followed and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Jia Le hurriedly followed what he said before, holding his share of plates to the left of Bai Chenmu, and walked out of the kitchen quickly after hearing a slight 'click'.

Bai Chenmu was chased out by the maid after a while, and he asked softly, "Why are you so scared?"

Jia Le rubbed her face and complained in a low voice: "Are you sure what you said? Why am I so flustered?"

Bai Chenmu laughed: "If you knew what I was going to do in a while, you would be even more surprised."

Jia Le took Bai Chenmu's hand and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Bai Chenmu gently held the other party, and said softly, "Of course I will tell you later."

In order to save time, the maid only made spaghetti. The bright red tomato sauce was served with fresh and tender clams. The fourth wife thoughtfully distributed half of her pasta to Jiale and Chenmu respectively, which made Bai Chenmu feel sorry for herself. deep doubts about his craft.

The atmosphere during the meal was very weird. The tables were arranged in a clockwise order, namely the fourth lady, the driver, the maid, Chen Mu and Jia Le, and beside the table, the police were standing with their hands behind their backs, looking at them seriously .

Time passed by little by little, and at three minutes to eight o'clock, Bai Chenmu put down his spoon, scanned the crowd for a week, and suddenly said, "Mr. Police Officer, I want to ask, who do you think is the suspect?"

The older police officer looked at Bai Chenmu, tightened the pocket of the lighter he was fiddling with, and pointed directly at Bai Chenmu: "You don't look like you want to be a child at all, and your answer is so strict, I suspect that you have already thought of a countermeasure .”

"Thank you for your compliment." Bai Chenmu said, "Then before arresting me, can you listen to me and say a few words?"

Everyone put down their food, and the fourth lady wanted to rush over to hug Bai Chenmu several times.

Bai Chenmu said: "I checked Uncle Weila's mouth and pupils when he was poisoned, but I was always a little puzzled. Just now I accidentally heard a conversation between you and another police officer, saying that arsenic trisulfide needs It takes about 10 minutes to get poisoned, so you first put the suspect on my mother who talked to Via alone before eating, but," he put his hand on the table and drew a circle in the void : "Have you ever thought that the time of the incident was revealed to you by me, and the time of the incident may be wrong."

The older police officer's face sank: "Are you going to surrender yourself?"

Bai Chenmu shook his head: "I don't think you guys know that the clock in the hall is handmade. It's been a few years, and every hour will lose 3 minutes. At that time, we used that clock to keep time."

"That's not enough to make up for the difference in time," said the senior police officer. "After Wei Ya came out of your mother's room, she waited for an hour before serving dinner. We have already collected evidence on this point."

Bai Chenmu was not annoyed at all: "So this is the error. The normal understanding is to start counting time from zero, so what if the murderer's realization has been predicted and prepared early? It only needs to start counting ten hours ago That's it." Bai Chenmu pointed to the watch on his wrist, and said: "You start counting from now, use your watch time to go [-] minutes first, it's the time on the clock."

The person next to him immediately calculated the time, nodded to the senior police officer, who hugged his chest, and said, "Okay, then we will exclude your mother now, and your suspicion is even greater."

Bai Chenmu turned his gaze and said, "Mr. Police Officer, have you ever thought that the one the murderer wanted to kill in the first place was not Wei Ya, but my mother?"

"What are you talking about?!" the maid yelled, "This is impossible!"

The fourth lady patted the maid on the shoulder: "My dear and loyal servant, please don't get excited and listen to what Yves has to say."

Bai Chenmu stretched out his two hands, and everyone realized that although he ate porridge, the tableware that Wei Ya used was the same style that night. He first took the knife and fork that was placed on the side He said with his hand: "Villa ate steak that night, and my mother told the maid when she first came here that she missed the familiar taste of steak." Then he put the fork on his right hand , put down the knife with his left hand, moved the bottom of the plate, and went to get the lemon in a small plate.He did this series of actions very slowly, and he knew it was intentional at a glance. Suddenly, the police officer said, "You have observed very carefully. Weila is indeed left-handed, but does this have anything to do with what you want to tell me?"

Bai Chenmu repeated the movement of placing his left hand on the edge of the plate: "I only saw that you took samples from the steak, have you investigated this plate?"

The police officer frowned: "There is a small amount of residual drug on it, but it doesn't mean anything. We also found the drug on the victim's hand. It is likely that the victim accidentally stuck his face in the plate when he fell ill. .”

Bai Chenmu's face was full of sarcasm, he pointed to his hand, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Wei Ya should have some medicine on her left hand, Jiale," Bai Chenmu put the knife and fork in Jiale Jia Le looked blankly at each other, Bai Chenmu said: "Hold the knife in your left hand and the fork in your right hand, and pour it straight into the plate."

Jia Le looked at the porridge that was still steaming in confusion, Bai Chenmu couldn't help laughing, "I didn't ask you to really put your face in it to make a show." Then he took the porridge away and put a clean plate.

"Phew, that's good." Jiale recalled the appearance of Weirya he saw that night, with his left hand next to the plate, his right hand hanging in the air, he took a deep breath and buried his face in the plate.

Mr. Police Officer's indifference finally couldn't be maintained any longer, he took a few steps forward and looked seriously at Jiale's left hand.

Bai Chenmu took Jiale's hand, and gently slid his fingers on the blade.Said: "I think you have forgotten one thing. Wei Ya is left-handed. When the attack occurred, he was holding the knife tightly in his hand. So, how did the medicine get on it?"

The police officer repeatedly looked at the photos of the crime scene in his hand, and suddenly said: "The suspect plus one——the maid."

"Don't worry, sir," Bai Chenmu said, "Now that we know the cause of death, the next step should be to find the culprit. We came to Country Y the day before yesterday, and there was a heavy rain here the night before. The sound of running water can often be heard." He suddenly said this sentence in such a tense atmosphere, which seemed to have nothing to do with the case, and then he stood up, walked to the stairs, and said, "I will clear my name now."

The police officer's mouth was pursed into a line, and he followed behind Bai Chenmu.

Everyone present looked extremely weird, except for Jiale who had witnessed the Anna incident and already knew about Bai Chenmu's abilities in this area, what Bai Chenmu said just now directly negated all their previous guesses.

Bai Chenmu went up to the second floor and opened Jiale's bedroom. Mr. police officer looked towards the shower room, slightly stunned. The shower room only took a wooden board to block the middle, and didn't even install a door lock, so he made a " It's impossible for someone to enter the room while Bai Chenmu is taking a shower.

Bai Chenmu opened the window, pointed to the window sill outside and said, "Jia Le and I slept in the same room yesterday, and I came to take a shower in Jia Le's room on the way. I have already told you this, but what I didn't say is that I just entered The window was open in Jiale's room, I went to close the window and accidentally saw this—" He knocked on the window sill.

Mr. Inspector put on his gloves, came up and asked: "Did you find any medicine or footprints under the window sill?"

"No," Bai Chenmu said, "the windowsill is spotless."

The police officer's expression froze: "Are you making fun of me?"

Bai Chenmu said: "As I said before, it rained here before we came, and normally there will be more or less water stains on the window sills... I also wondered if it might be the maid who is too I worked so hard to clean even these little details, until I opened my window and saw long thin beige dust on it."

Before Bai Chenmu could continue to speak, Mr. Police Officer had already said to the people behind him: "Go and check, which window sill is clean!" Then he walked to the window, hung half of his body in the air, and stretched out his feet to step on the outside of the castle. On a stone-carved basket used for decoration, it muttered to itself: "It really can bear the weight of a person."

Jia Le watched the police officer's movements worriedly, for fear that he would fall down without paying attention.
