sincerity of lies

The floor was littered with rubbish.

Only then did everyone realize that while they were still looking nervously or curiously at the instant noodle bowl and the poisoned Boss Wu, the silver mask——Boss Zhou, was already wearing gloves silently, throwing away the trash. All the garbage in the bucket was turned out.

The rubbish dug out was not dumped indiscriminately, but carefully organized, ranging from foam noodle bowls to small paper towels, and even plastic bags for instant noodles.

This guy……

An idea replicated virally into everyone's head.

How cruel.

"Close the door." Mr. Liu said suddenly.

His order was still valid, and the two bodyguards who had taken Xu Ke out immediately stepped forward and firmly closed the two open doors of the Chinese restaurant.

"Since it has been analyzed that the poison was not poisoned by the ghost, but by the people at the scene," he paused and smiled, "the matter is actually simpler, isn't it, everyone? We don't have any superpowers. If we want to poison, we must have Get close to the victim, so, who approached Boss Jiang just now? Who boiled water and instant noodles in front of Boss Jiang?"

There were clearly two people who were poisoned, but he only mentioned Boss Jiang when he said it, and he ignored Boss Wu whether it was intentional or not.

"I seem to be the one who boiled water and instant noodles in front of Boss Jiang." Boss Mawei smiled nervously, "But you have to believe me, Boss Jiang and I have no grievances or enmities, we are strangers, and we have no motive for killing."

Mr. Liu was noncommittal, but continued: "The one sitting with Boss Jiang..."

This doesn't need anyone to admit it, it's obvious at the scene.

Boss Wu and Boss Jiang are next to each other, with their own bodyguards sitting on both sides.

"It's me." Boss Wu said again.He has just been injected with symptomatic drugs, and his face looks better, but his body is still shaking, and he doesn't know if it is the sequelae of poisoning, or he knows the sequelae of his poisoning, "When Lao Jiang fell down just now, I didn't react. , the bodyguard reacted."

This is something everyone knows.When Boss Jiang fell down, the first exclamation came from his bodyguards.

"His bodyguard gave him a massage for a while." Boss Wu added, "Standing behind Lao Jiang for a long time, Lao Jiang closed his eyes when he was being massaged."

Boss Jiang's bodyguard is surnamed Fang, Fang Li. When he heard Boss Wu's words, his complexion changed: "Boss's neck is uncomfortable. I'm giving him a massage. Is there anything wrong?"

"I didn't say I was wrong." Boss Wu said stiffly, "But now, everyone who comes close to Lao Jiang and interacts with Lao Jiang is very suspicious."

"I just massaged the boss's neck, Boss Wu, you touched the boss's noodle bowl!"

"I was poisoned too!" Boss Wu was furious, "I almost died!"

"But you're not dead." Fang Li sneered.

"damn thing--"

"Bang bang."

Mr. Liu knocked on the table twice unhurriedly, interrupting the dispute that was about to turn into a conflict.

"Be quiet." He said like a judge, "What we need to know now is who approached and interacted with Boss Jiang. Boss Wu, as for whether you are suspected, we can tell later."

Boss Wu couldn't swallow this breath, he wanted to say something, but at this moment he saw the eyes of the people around him.

That look at the suspect.

His heart sank suddenly, and he went to see Mr. Liu again.

Mr. Liu and him looked at each other, and he seemed to see a little flicker in the other's remaining eye... a slight flicker of a smile... Mr. Liu was watching a good show!

"Tell me," Mr. Liu asked Fang Li, "how did Boss Wu touch Boss Jiang's noodle bowl?"

"The instant noodles had to be covered after flushing, and we all pierced them with a fork to cover the instant noodles. But the boss didn't succeed, so we asked Boss Wu to help. Boss Wu fiddled with the boss's fork, but it didn't work. Cover the noodle bowl with a tissue box." Fang Li briefly explained the matter.

Mr. Liu looked at Boss Wu again: "Boss Wu, do you have anything to add?"

"No." Boss Wu said coldly.

"How about everyone?" Mr. Liu asked.

"Tonight, someone gave out side dishes." Boss Carrot said suddenly, "It's the same name as mine, and it's pickled radish, everyone has it. This person should have approached Boss Jiang before, right?"

The one who distributes the side dishes at night is——

All eyes were on one person.

The man panicked and squeezed the car magazine in his hand tightly: "I, it has nothing to do with me! Mr. Liu! Ben!"

That is the help cook among the crew, and his English name is Dylan.Because the head chef grew up abroad, everyone in the kitchen will give themselves a foreign name.

Chef Ben also hurriedly spoke up, defending his subordinates: "Yes, Mr. Liu, we made a temporary decision on distributing side dishes, so we can't just think that Dylan is suspicious."

Mr. Liu did not express his thoughts as before, but asked: "How do you distribute the side dishes?"

"I, I..." Dylan looked like he was about to cry, "I opened the side dish bag and added it to Boss Jiang's instant noodles."

Immediately there were whispers at the scene.

No matter how innocent Dylan showed, his act of tearing open the package and pouring it into side dishes provided a direct convenience for poisoning.

"I, I..." Dylan also knew that his behavior was suspicious. He racked his brains and said suddenly, "By the way, when I was adding side dishes to Boss Jiang, Qiu Bo came over!"

Qiu Bo is a fitness trainer.

Hearing his name, his expression changed: "My wrist power ball fell to Boss Jiang's feet. I went to pick things up."

"After you picked it up, you chatted with Boss Jiang." Dylan said.

"This is etiquette!" Qiu Bo was angry.

"Okay." Mr. Liu waved his hand again, "To count, Boss Mawei, Boss Wu, Fang Li, Dylan, and Qiu Bo, a total of five people approached Boss Jiang, right?"

"I think there is another one." Huo Ranyin finally spoke.

The sleeves of his hands were rolled up to the elbows, exposing a forearm like frost and snow, with a few drops of water on it, his fingers landed on the top of the tissue paper on the table, tapped a little, and then pulled out a paper towel, slowly Wipe beads of water on fingers and arms.

In the midst of all attention, he said:

"There is another person who just came to the table of Boss Jiang and Boss Wu and took a tissue."

Small noises were made all around, and everyone was asking each other if they had any impression of this matter.

None of them had any recollection of the incident.

Until the master who did this thing spoke.

"That's right, I went to that table to get a tissue." Meng Lingshan said lightly.

"Why didn't you say that just now?" Mr. Liu asked.

"When I went to get the paper towel, the paper towel had already been removed from Boss Jiang's instant noodle bowl, and I was just pulling a piece of paper on this table. Is it close?" Meng Lingshan asked back.

"Why do you need to get tissues?" Mr. Liu asked again.

"I'm out of paper on my desk." Meng Lingshan replied.

"I remembered." Fang Li said suddenly, "He did come over just now, standing behind me, and touched me when he was holding the paper."

"Is there anyone else who approached this table but forgot?" Mr. Liu looked around.

This time, no one made a sound, it can be seen that all the people who approached have been found out.

"So," Mr. Liu changed his sitting position, "does anyone admit that they poisoned Boss Jiang or Boss Wu?"

Of course no one admitted it.

The six people who had approached Boss Jiang before and after closed their lips tightly. At this moment, their lips are probably tighter than clam shells.

"Since no one admits—" Mr. Liu suggested, "Why don't we check them first? If the murderer accidentally let cyanide stain his sleeves and pockets during the poisoning process, as long as we check it out, the truth will come out." gone."

It was a good proposition, and all but six of the suspects agreed.As for the six people, apart from Boss Wu's obvious dissatisfaction and scolding, they didn't express much.

Huo Ranyin watched coldly.

He watched the bodyguard next to Mr. Liu go up, checked everyone's pockets and sleeves very carefully, and even took the props used to test for cyanide before, and tested them one by one, but nothing was obtained.

After the inspection, none of the suspects had cyanide on them.

After getting the result, Boss Wu snorted very loudly, and the rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief and seemed a little disappointed.

Disappointed that the man with the cyanide was not found?

In fact, even if it is found that someone got cyanide on his sleeve, it cannot be said that he is the one who poisoned it—he may have gotten it on Boss Jiang's noodle bowl while interacting with Boss Jiang.

And in this poisoning incident, there is a very critical issue that has been ignored today:

Not only Boss Jiang's bowl contained cyanide, but also Boss Wu's bowl.

This means that if Boss Wu hadn’t poisoned Boss Jiang and his own bowl at the same time, then the murderer would have to poison two people’s bowls one after another, which would be exponentially more difficult than just poisoning one person’s bowl.

The most likely to do it, besides Boss Wu, is Boss Mawei who boiled the water before, and Dylan who divided the dishes afterwards.

If the murderer is Boss Wu, does Boss Wu really think that while poisoning the other party, he can escape suspicion by poisoning himself?

If it's Boss Mawei, he can hide it, but the kettle has never been washed from the beginning to the end. How can it be guaranteed that there is no cyanide in the bowl of the third person besides Boss Jiang and Boss Wu?

If it is Dylan, he has a chance, but the boss may reject his behavior of "tearing open the package and pouring instant noodles".Once rejected, wouldn't his poisoning fail?Or is his poisoning random?But what was his motive for poisoning?The current poisoning is no longer in line with the story. In the story, before someone died of poisoning, there was a person who beheaded and knocked off his skull.

By the way, what's more, cyanide is highly poisonous, and the murderer has already poisoned it, why not just throw enough cyanide, so that people will die immediately after eating it?In this way, it is impossible for Boss Wu to escape.

All kinds of questions are entangled with each other, like a ball of wool tied with countless knots, which cannot be unraveled and unreasonable. If Ji Xun is here...

Huo Ranyin tore up the thoughts in his mind.

"What does Boss Zhou think?" Mr. Liu said suddenly, looking at Huo Ranyin.

"I don't have an opinion for the time being." Huo Ranyin had listed the doubts one by one in his mind, but he thought about them and didn't say these questions immediately.If he can't figure out these problems, if he speaks out, it's impossible for everyone to help him figure it out.

It's not because there are stupid people out there.

At least Mr. Liu is definitely not stupid.

But Mr. Liu, who stood up to preside over the overall situation, did he want to find the murderer?

No.

Whether the murderer can be found or not is probably of little significance to Mr. Liu.

From just now until now, all he has done is for...

"Then how about a referendum?" Mr. Liu said.

"What?" the crowd asked.

"Referendum, whether to put suspects—"

Mr. Liu suddenly pulled out the gun from Abang's waist.The iron-gray gun was pressed by an old hand on the table.

The gun suddenly became heavier.

The heavy weight of life is under Mr. Liu's hand, it's body.

"Kill them all."

Mr. Liu did all this.

All just to get back his rule, his throne.
