The hunting lasted for four hours. Ruan Mobei sat on the horse and walked around the whole time, but he didn't feel tired.

His physical fitness is not bad, anyway, it is much better than the leaders who can't stand it after staying on the horse for more than an hour.

The deer he shot woke up from a coma and escaped by itself. People didn't really come to the manor to hunt animals, let the poor deer be dinner, just to experience the novel feeling of hunting.

It was time for dinner soon, and everyone went back to the restaurant from the courtyard. Lily and Jonathan had already eaten at another small table.Ruan Mobei sat on the chair and paused, only to feel some pain in the heels of his legs from being worn by the saddle.

The dinner was served one after another, and the bracelet on the vice president's wrist suddenly lit up. He looked down and quickly locked the screen.

Ruan Mobei frowned slightly, he touched his bracelet, the screen lit up, but the status bar still showed no signal.

The waiters lifted the lids one by one, the medium-rare steak, the smoked chicken filled with spices, and the fat but not greasy foie gras, the aroma and heat radiated out, filling the entire restaurant.

The foreman lifted the lid of the meal in front of Ruan Mobei and wrapped a napkin around him. Ruan Mobei held the knife and fork, after all, he was not used to being served like this.He Songming's fingers brushed against the side of his neck, it was the smooth touch of white gloves, as if it was still warm.

After an afternoon of activities, I was already very hungry. Seeing that the vice president was already moving, Ruan Mobei was not polite and started eating immediately.

The thick soup was too greasy for him, Ruan Mobei refused the foreman's move to pour him wine, He Songming understood, and replaced him with the same iced lemonade as last night.

"what--!"

After eating for only 5 minutes, the woman opposite suddenly exclaimed. Ruan Mobei looked up and did not forget to stuff the steak in his hand into his mouth.

"This... what is this?!" The woman is the secretary of the vice president, covering her mouth and her face is turning pale. Suspiciously lurking within, with a... nail on one end? !

The vice president next to her immediately took the fork and picked the vegetables aside, so that everyone could see clearly that it was a finger.

The finger was neatly cut off from the root. Judging from the length and shape of the nail, it should be a ring finger. The blood no longer flowed out, obviously it had been cut off for a while.

With a platinum ring on her finger, the secretary covered her mouth and stammered, "This...isn't this Director Li's ring?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole dining table almost exploded.

The doctor hurried over. He took out a pair of plastic gloves from his pocket and put them on. He picked up the finger mixed in the salad and observed carefully. He took off the ring to see the inner wall, and then put it back on the stiff finger.

"This is a human finger. The skeleton belongs to a middle-aged man. The initials of Director Li are engraved on the inner ring of the ring."

The audience was in an uproar, and Director Li, who had been missing for nearly a day, appeared, but only part of it appeared, and it appeared on... their plates.

"Old Li, nothing will happen."

"The fingers are all here, so it's not sure..."

"Did someone kidnap him? Otherwise, why did you bring a finger here? Want to threaten us?"

"How do you cook? How did this thing appear in the dish?!"

The vice president questioned the waiter loudly, and the foreman rushed over to inquire. Seeing this scene, his expression changed.

"Sorry, all dishes are inspected before serving, we are sure that nothing went wrong during the cooking process—"

"Then what's going on with this thing?!"

The secretary recovered from the panic. After all, she was the one who ate the fingers. Thinking that she just ate the salad mixed with other people's fingers, she covered her mouth and wanted to retch.

Ruan Mobei lost his appetite due to the noise. He reluctantly drank a few sips of lemonade, and took another bite of steak while no one was paying attention.

It seems...someone has been staring at him vaguely.

Ruan Mobei raised his head and looked around, there were indeed people looking at him, as if wondering how he could still eat.

Seeing Ruan Mobei looking over, the man quickly looked away and looked at other people.

Ruan Mobei had no choice but to put down the tableware and concentrate on being the opening audience of this drama.

The news that Director Li might be killed was cloudy, hanging over everyone's mind.

Lily and Jonathan on the next table couldn't stop looking at this side. They didn't know what happened, but it seemed that they were in trouble.

Both of them could feel that this group of people was not easy to provoke, so they didn't come over wisely, but just asked Ruan Mobei who had greeted him with their eyes.

Ruan Mobei shook his head at them.

"Let's eat first. After eating, we'll go find Lao Li again. Whether he's dead or alive, he's definitely still in the manor."

In the end, it was the vice president who came out to reassure people, "You can't be hungry, other things should be fine."

"I can't eat it." The secretary whispered, with a crying tone, eating an extra finger from an acquaintance in the dish is much more terrifying than eating a cockroach.

What the vice president said made sense. It would take a long time to find Director Li, and he couldn't go there hungry. Everyone picked up their knives and forks one after another. Ruan Mobei heaved a sigh of relief and could finally continue eating.

Gui Lu comforted the secretary and gave her her share of salad.

The finger was kept with the doctor. He went upstairs to find a waterproof bag and put his finger in it. When the communication was restored and the police came, this was an important clue.

During the whole process, Ruan Mobei didn't get close to the finger, but just looked at it from a distance. Of course, he was not familiar with Director Li, so he couldn't tell from a finger whether the victim was him or not.

Ruan Mobei knew that this might be the last good meal of the trip to the small world, so he tasted all the good things, so that he was a little bit full at the end.

It's just... other people don't seem to be eating less, even the secretary who was still crying and retching just now was drinking and eating steak. Apart from his sad expression, he didn't look so sick that he couldn't eat anything more than ten minutes ago look.

Ruan Mobei wiped the corners of his mouth and every finger with a napkin, got up and sat in the rest area, Lily and Jonathan were there, and when he saw Ruan Mobei coming over, he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What happened again?"

"Someone just found a finger after eating. It belongs to the person who disappeared this morning."

Ruan Mobei explained in a few words, "We will look for him again later, you two should go to bed early at night, and don't run around if you hear any strange noises, there might be something wrong with this place."

Soon, the others also finished eating, waiting in the lounge in twos and threes.

Everyone was more inclined to believe that there was a murderer in the manor. The murderer kidnapped Director Li last night and cut off one of his fingers and put it in the salad as a threat.

The biggest suspect is the chef and waiter who had been in contact with that plate of salad, and the foreman is interrogating them one by one.

When He Songming was serious, he was quite scary. Ruan Mobei had never seen him like this. When he was with him, He Songming was never fierce, and he was almost never angry.

There were quite a few staff members who had experienced this plate of salad, and the interrogation would take some time, so they were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for monitoring the interrogation, and the other group followed other unsuspecting waiters for a second carpet search.

Gui Lu was in charge of the grouping, and when it was Ruan Mobei's turn, she said, "Xiao Ruan, you can watch the interrogation here."

Ruan Mobei nodded, of course he was willing to stay with He Songming, besides, he had just had a full meal and was playing all afternoon, so he really didn't want to move.

There were a total of four people staying in the hall to watch the interrogation. If Lily and the others who were eating melons and watching the show were added, there would be six people.

He Songming asked all the suspects to wait in different rooms to prevent collusion, asked them to come to the lounge one by one, and asked many questions, especially about time and details.

Interrogation alone can add a lot of stress, and the effect is even better.

Ruan Mobei listened carefully, he looked at He Songming's figure, his eyes hardly moved away for a moment, who would have thought that a few small worlds ago, he still firmly believed that the two were each other's best friends ?

He entered the new world with all the memories, but He Songming didn't remember anything, and things gradually changed. He had special feelings for He Songming, but to He Songming, he was just a man who came to the manor for vacation. stranger guests.

Everyone who was called in to ask a question, whether chef or waiter, gave their own answer, and there was nothing wrong with it, and there were no conflicts in time or detail.

The doctor is monitoring everyone's smart bracelets, and the foreman tells them to put on the bracelets, turn on the health monitoring function, and the heart rate will be faithfully displayed on the screen.

After the interrogation, they failed to find any abnormalities. Either these people were not the culprit, or the person's lying skills were so superb that he could even control his heartbeat.

For Ruan Mobei, he prefers to be among those whose murderer is not among them.

The foreman squeezed the center of his brows with a headache, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you all go back, I will take care of the rest."

The cooks and waiters returned to their respective posts, and the head waiter was silent for a moment, then turned around and faced everyone on the sofa.

"Guests, you have also seen that after interrogation, we can't find out who is lying."

"Maybe everyone is telling the truth? No one stipulates that the murderer must be a staff member."

Lily blurted out, noticing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly covered her mouth, and said, "Sorry, I just said it casually."

Naturally, it was impossible for the foreman to say such a thing on his own initiative, but Lily's words made it easier for him, he looked at Gui Lu who was also staying here, and said, "Ma'am, is it possible that there is something wrong with your fellow travelers? "

Gui Lu's complexion was uncertain, and her expression showed that she could not rule out this possibility. The people who came here were all middle and high-level employees of Ansel Company, and it was normal for them to have some unknown interests involved with each other.

"Okay, I will investigate everyone." Gui Lu stood up and nodded politely to the foreman, "Thanks for your hard work."

"This is what I should have done. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone."

The interrogation ended, and three hours had passed quietly. Gui Lu, the doctor and another high-level executive chose to go upstairs to rest. Lily and Jonathan also went to the playroom. Although some things happened in the manor, they had nothing to do with them after all. too big.

The foreman loosened his tightly tied bow tie, took off his white gloves, stuffed them into his pockets, exhaled heavily, and frowned, looking very stressed.

That's right, someone might have died in the manor he was in charge of. It's no wonder he could relax in the face of such a bad incident.
