I Became an Anonymous Boss

Shirataki asked again, 'Why don't you put the expensive ones here'.

Tantai Ziyue said naturally, "what if it is broken, antiques must be kept in a place worthy of collection".

Shirataki reflected on himself, and he also took it for granted that the emperor used a golden hoe to cultivate the land.

The heritage of the millennium family is strong in the control and mobilization of resources, as well as the ability to continuously produce high-quality talents, so the population is more important to the millennium family. If any generation loses too much, it will lead to incomplete results, which will directly affect the population. This leads to the weakening of the aristocratic family, and it is also difficult for the children of the aristocratic family to decide on their own affairs, most of which are the orders of their parents.

Shirataki also knew more or less the operating mechanism of some aristocratic families.

To put it simply, it is similar to a Japanese-style family business, and a further aristocratic family is a Korean-style chaebol.

With such a horizontal comparison, Shirataki discovered a very interesting fact. This similarity proves that the two countries have not fundamentally shaken off the residual influence of the feudal era, and their progress is only superficial.

When she came to the living room, Tantai Ziyue didn't want to be locked up, so she also obtained a certain degree of freedom of movement.

Han Xiao still has to deal with a lot of affairs, and he has no extra energy to focus on other aspects. He is not good at words, he is cold and unwilling to explain, and everything he says is straightforward. It can't be said that his wrist is flexible, but at this time it is unexpected Appropriate, tough attitude can suppress a lot of gossip.

It can be seen that this master is also tired of coping.

Bai Taki was led by Tantai Ziyue to walk around the house, and many traces were cleaned up.

The dining hall has been cleaned up, and the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks have been washed and disinfected, and there is no preservation on site and cannot be restored.

The big Tantai family has a lot of people, coming and going many times, but not many people remember the approximate seats in the banquet living room at that time, and after asking several servants, Shirataki finally managed to draw the most likely pairs. Seat map.

After that, I went to check the poisoned elders one by one. There were 11 people in total. So far, no one has woken up. Among them, the oldest old lady is dying.

Tantai Ziyue wanted to visit with guilt, but she didn't have the courage to knock on the door, and stood in the courtyard in a daze.

Shirataki sat under the orange tree, looked at the drawings and began to think.

At that time, there were 11 people at the table, but there were [-] seats, one of which was reserved for Han Xiao, but he did not come at that time, but ate alone in the room, avoiding the time, and naturally became the only one who was not poisoned people.

Han Xiao's suspicion is basically very small here, because the poisoner can completely skip the fish soup, and there is no need to show so many big flaws.

Since Tantai Ziyue tasted the fish soup and was not poisoned, it proved that there was nothing wrong with the red carp.

Then if you want to poison, it is naturally during the process of putting the fish soup on the table. There are also too many opportunities to poison in this process, whether it is to quietly smear a layer of poison on the container, or condense the poison into ice cubes, and quietly put it on the table. In dashi, it's not too difficult to wait for it to melt naturally.

So check the method...

"No chance."

Although Shirataki boasted that he would go to Haikou to investigate clearly, but when he really started to investigate, his scalp felt numb.

The method and timing of poisoning are not clear, there are no suspects, and the motive for committing the crime is completely unknown.

This is very strange.

I have no clue about all three aspects, and this is the first time I have encountered it.

Compared with the blood shadow butcher case at Plum Blossom Villa that Bai Taki had encountered, the murder case of flying corpses in Huaimu Village, the beheading case of the escorts at Fengxue Inn... this poisoning case, so far, no one has died.

And in the past cases, people were killed one after another, just like a rolling stone, once it starts rolling, it can't stop.

It has been two days since the poisoning case, and there has been no further change so far.

No, it's not completely absent. It is a fact that Tantai Ziyue was attacked, but the way of attacking her revealed the anxiety of those behind the scenes.

Shirataki has the heart to be Sherlock Holmes, but his level is really not good enough, otherwise he wouldn't have had to follow one of the famous arresters to play soy sauce a few times ago.

He was robbed of three tasks by anger, and his job was smashed, which caused his mental breakdown.

Now that I finally have a chance to prove myself, of course I can't give up lightly.

While thinking, he took a bite of the orange viciously.

……tangerinr?

He looked at the orange in his hand and wondered, when did I subconsciously take the orange and peel it myself?

Then he took another bite, and it tasted good, all natural.

"This is an orange tree planted by my grandmother for many years." Tantai Ziyue said: "But it rarely blooms and bears fruit. This is the third time in 30 years."

"Three times?" Bai Taki took a bite of the orange: "This tree is going to become a spirit."

"I don't know." Tantai Ziyue shook her head lightly: "If the orange tree has a spirit, I hope grandma will come back soon."

"Then it's better to catch the mastermind behind the poisoning and force him to hand over the antidote." Bai Taki ate the last bite of the orange: "Although he came from the Tantai Family, there are almost no clues and no progress."

"I think so too." Tantai Ziyue pressed the piece of paper: "Father will return to Jinling City from the imperial capital in three days. It is definitely not good to delay for a long time. It is very likely that the behind-the-scenes will do something within three days." .”

"He has already exposed himself by taking the initiative to attack, so what should he do?" Bai Taki raised his eyebrows: "Unless he intends to attack directly."

"That's a dead end." Tantai Ziyue said, "But I'm worried."

"Continue to poison?" Shirataki said casually, "That's simple. I have rations that are absolutely safe and will not be poisoned."

"At present, there is a comprehensive martial law. Animals must be tested for poisoning before eating, and the possibility of continuing to poison is not high." Tantai Ziyue said softly: "I am not worried about poisoning, but whether the elders can survive for three days ,especially……"

She looked at the closed door, feeling uneasy.

The old man's body may not be able to withstand the erosion of toxins for three days, which will inevitably leave serious sequelae.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go out quietly at night."

"I understand what you mean." Shirataki tapped his index finger on the table: "Do you want to continue to seduce the other party? But there is a high probability that you will attract assassins, and assassins are almost always tight-lipped and will not reveal their employers. Know who the employer is."

Tantai Ziyue smiled wryly: "Then what should I do? According to Young Master's opinion?"

Shirataki changed his sitting position: "I don't know either, but if I don't know how to do it, it doesn't mean I have to act recklessly. I have to learn to wait."

"I can afford to wait, but my relatives can't afford to wait." Tantai Ziyue lowered her head: "Please be sure..."

"If there is a clue..." Shirataki was also helpless.

"There are clues."

A voice intervening midway interrupted the conversation between the two.

Han Xiao stood outside the courtyard, straight to the point.

"Yesterday, a servant disappeared. He said he was on leave to go home to visit relatives and bring a gift. However, he has not returned and cannot be contacted. He lives in a town on the outskirts of Jinling City. The distance is not far, and he comes and goes frequently. It will take half a day."

"The servant is missing?" Shirataki asked, "What time is it?"

"That afternoon."

"It's really a bit of a coincidence." Bai Taki touched his chin: "Although we can't tell if it's related, it's worth investigating."

"You can go, but Ziyue can't, she has to stay." Han Xiao said: "The old lady also needs someone to take care of her, and you are the most suitable candidate."

"Yes..." Tantai Ziyue lowered her head, unable to refute.

"Give me the address, I'll go and have a look." Bai Taki glanced at the sky, "It will probably be dark when we get back."

"Is the young master alone? Is there any danger?" Tantai Ziyue said: "Otherwise, let Wu Gang take him to the nursing home."

"I'm a passive man with a rover, but being alone can improve my strength." Shirataki smiled meaningfully.

He has a boundary gate, and when the enemy comes, he can escape at any time. This is the way to escape offline, it is simply invincible!

Han Xiao handed the address to Bai Taki, and then left. He just came to inform, and the motives for his actions were highly consistent.

Shirataki was not hypocritical, and immediately set off to the location marked on the note.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, and the servants may already be on their way back, but it's worth checking anyway.

"Then I'll take a step first." Bai Taki went out, saying goodbye to Tantai Ziyue.

After leaving, I vaguely heard Han Xiao's suppressed cough, and also noticed a pair of sharp eyes staring at his back...

Perhaps Han Xiao's suspicion has been cleared, but he, a person of unknown origin, has not gained more trust.

Chapter 65 Clues

After leaving the Tantai family, Bai Taki acted alone again, without the eyeliner of other people, he was free at once.

But still can't feel at ease, no one knows if anyone is secretly staring at him.

He glanced at the mechanical watch, and the current time was about five hours before dark.

According to the clues given by Han Xiao, the missing servant is not far from Jinling City. The round trip adds up to more than 20 kilometers, and the journey takes about two hours.

Bai Taki squeezed the Dahuandan and Miasma Pill in his pocket, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, and left Jinling City from the west side.

He rented a horse from the post station, and the horse couldn't enjoy the short distance of more than ten kilometers, and the destination had already arrived.

This is a town outside Jinling City. It mainly sells some fresh ingredients, and many fruits in the city are wholesaled from here.

The quality of life of the ancient people was indeed poor. There was no vegetable greenhouse technology, no genetically modified fruits, and the fruits were easily spoiled when transported over long distances. The temperature was low in winter, but there were no fruits. In summer, there were many fruits, but basically there was no ice to cool them down.

Saltpeter can be used to make ice, but it is expensive.

It is the same contradiction here, but fortunately, this world has a technology tree that the modern world does not have.

For example, martial arts skills, such as Lingshi Baoyu.

Innate warriors with cold attributes can make ice cubes at will as long as they have materials, but what are the materials?It's water...not worth the money at all.

As for cold-type spirit stones and gemstones, high-grade ones may be rare, but low-grade ones are definitely a handful, often seen on various decorations, and their rarity is comparable to emeralds.

Natural ice-making technology has also advanced to a higher level, coupled with the super-scale carrying capacity of various magical animals, the world's logistics level is unexpectedly high, and management capabilities have also improved with the development of economic flows.As a result, many bodyguard bureaus have been changed into logistics companies.

In the territory of Daqin, bandits and thieves are strictly controlled and suppressed, and they work hard to build roads. The official roads are absolutely flat. The gravel roads built are of high quality, not comparable to modern roads, but they are definitely many times better than dirt roads.

It can only be said that in this world, technology is not the primary productive force, but miraculous things are.

Shirataki didn't discover these subtle differences until half a year later when he first arrived.

As a modern person, he is used to buying fresh fruits from supermarkets in winter, but when he can also buy longans and lychees thousands of miles away in the market here, his heart is full of crap... Understanding the original method of ripening also exists here.

Magical skills can make up for the difference in technology to a certain extent, because the actual principles of many things are not complicated, but it requires a very complicated process and precise operation to realize it.

Shirataki came to this wholesale market, there are many people here, too many people, it is not suitable for following.

He shuttled back and forth among the crowd, entered and exited the merchant's house several times, and went back and forth in six or seven circles before heading to his destination.

The address of the missing servant was some distance away from the market, alone by the side of a stream.

Bai Taki came to the door and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

He asked politely and waited for a while, but no one responded. He knocked on the door again, but still no one responded.
