Inside the carriage, the four awakened people looked at each other.The horses were rattling, and they would soon go to the country post to meet the drunken policeman, and it would take another two hours to endure the smell of alcohol on his body before reaching the old castle of the Morandon family.

"We have to skip the part of eating in the living room." A Spanish awakened Garcia said - he looked about the same age as Song Zan, with black hair and black eyes, shallow eye sockets, and his facial features looked a little immature. "If we simply arrive a few hours late, will we be able to avoid the banquet?"

"...It's worth trying." Song Zan sighed, and said with a toothache, "But are you sure that the owner of the castle won't throw us out of the castle just because we're late and scold us for being rude?"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

"I know what to do."

Another Spanish Awakened, Domingo, clapped his hands—he was the oldest of all Awakened and was said to be the most experienced—he stopped the carriage and left the carriage.A few minutes later, he returned with two large bottles of wine, but the gold brooch on his left chest was gone.

"Are you trying to get him drunk? But what's the use of getting a police officer drunk?" Song Zan asked dumbfounded.

"My talent is the 'medicine box'. I can take out a lot of strange medicines from it. Some of them include vomiting and fainting." The medicine was distributed to everyone in advance, "Let's try it first... The worst thing is to start all over again, isn't it?"

Song Zan: "..." Do you think this is just a game, and if you say it will be reopened, you will reopen it?The pollution on his body hasn't stopped yet!A few more times, the grass on his grave should be three feet high!

Helpless, Song Zan had no better way.

So they could only follow Domingo's suggestion and put the wine bottle in a very conspicuous place in the car.

Soon, the police got into the car.He first greeted the consulting detectives, then moved his nose and said, "Why do I smell a smell of wine?"

"Your nose is really good." A warm smile appeared on Domingo's face, "We may have to live in the castle for a few days. My brain can't think without wine, so I bring it myself Some good wine to save my mouth for the next few days..."

The policeman's eyeballs were glued to the wine bottle.

"However, maybe I got it wrong. That's the old castle of the Morandon family. Do you want anything? I think we should drink the wine in the carriage and play two games of cards for fun..."

"That's it." Garcia, another Spanish awakener, echoed.

Next, Song Zan witnessed with his own eyes that the two coaxed and tricked the police into downing two full bottles of adulterated wine.And the four awakened people didn't drink a few sips together.

Song Zan: "..."

two hours later.

The carriage passed through the green wall of the garden and slowly stopped in front of the castle gate.

The potbellied policeman held a wine bottle in one hand and held on to the door frame of the carriage with the other, as he staggered on the gravel-paved road.Every time he took a step, the dragging soles of his shoes would make a "swipe, swipe" sound on the ground.

The old housekeeper who came to greet them was a little speechless: "Mr. Police Officer—are you okay?"

"Okay! I'm fine!" The policeman patted his chest confidently and let out a loud belch, "Please take us to meet the owner of the castle!"

So, once again—they walked into the resplendent and resplendent living room.

A huge crystal chandelier illuminates three colorful enamelled glass windows facing the main door.There is a stepped platform under the window.The owner of the castle was sitting on the high platform, still looking bored, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.

"It is an honor to call on you, Mr. Morandon. I, along with several experienced consulting detectives, have been invited to investigate the suicide of Sophie Ireland."

"Thank you for coming." Although the expression of the castle owner was obviously not very happy to see them, "Please have breakfast first. After the meal, we will formally start discussing the investigation."

Awakened ones: "..." Is it so direct this time?Shouldn't I be talking a little bit more!

With different expressions, they walked towards the long dining table with the police officers.

Just after they sat down, the Awakened who exchanged the gold brooch for wine made a gesture quietly——

Clang.The silver fork in the policeman's hand fell.His facial features twisted for a second, and then he reached out to cover his mouth: "Ugh..."

But he moved a step slower.

The alcohol was mixed with all kinds of filth, and the police spit it on the empty dinner plate in front of him.In an instant, an incomparably sour smell permeated the living room.

The four awakened people all showed smoked expressions, and put down the tableware in their hands very naturally.

"Mr. Police Officer, are you okay?" Domingo said with a worried face.

Song Zan thought to himself, wasn't it just you who gave the medicine, but I didn't expect that you, a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have two faces!

The policeman fell from the dining table in pain and lay prone on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead: "My stomach—!"

"Is there something wrong?" Domingo stretched out his hand to help the policeman, with doubts in his innocent expression.

All five of them drank the wine on the carriage just now, but now only one person had an accident.So the police officer stared at him, and turned his attention to the dining table in the living room, where there was a half-eaten steak.

Domingo followed his gaze, raised his head and asked the butler, "What kind of meat is this?!"

"Fresh wild boar." The butler's expression didn't look very good either, "Is there any problem?"

At this point, the officer began to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth.

Garcia leaned over to the police officer, pretended to check his mouth and nose for a long time, and said decisively: "He is poisoned!"

"Someone is going to poison Mr. Police!"

"He must want to get rid of Mr. Police Officer and us! Because he is afraid that we will investigate the truth of the suicide case! So it seems that the maid named Sophie did not die by suicide, but someone murdered her! "

"The murderer... is probably in this castle!"

Garcia expressed his anger hoarsely.

In fact, it is quite understandable. The murderer poisoned the food in order to poison all of them.Life is threatened, and the reaction should be more intense.

But the question is... isn't it us who poisoned it?

These two awakened people from Spain, why are their acting skills so superb?

Song Zan looked at them with admiration, and suddenly thought, no, he is from the acting department, and he also studied in the film school before—he should be more professional!

So Song Zan threw himself on the side of the policeman, with deep sorrow in his eyes, while shaking the policeman's shoulders, he shouted in a loud voice: "Mr. Policeman, Mr. Policeman! Where is the doctor? Where is the doctor? Call the doctor quickly! Mr. Police, please rest assured that if you are really killed, we will definitely find out the murderer to avenge you!"

How about it!Is the emotional outpouring real enough?Is the body language enough to explode!He even showed a sense of rhythm with the lines. If it is made into a movie, the effect will be great!

Song Zan's face was mournful, but in his heart he was crazily praising his acting skills.

The policeman seemed to have heard his words, his jaw trembled twice, as if he wanted to say something——

"Mr. Detective, please control your emotions." The old butler still maintained an elegant demeanor in such a chaotic environment, and resignedly interjected, "If you continue to shake like this, I am afraid that the policeman will be punished." You're dizzy."

As if to confirm the butler's words, the police officer who was still struggling before made a few meaningless syllables with difficulty, and finally twisted his neck, closed his eyes, and completely lost consciousness in Song Zan's hands.

Song Zan: "..."

Other Awakened: "..."

Zhao Lin, who had been standing by the side without speaking, finally couldn't bear it anymore.He took a few steps forward, grabbed Song Zan by the collar and lifted him up, gave him a warning look, and told him not to cause trouble, and then they watched the servants and doctors who had arrived belatedly carry the policeman down Healed.

Si Qingxuan sat on the highest seat in the living room. After appreciating the big play, he resisted the urge to laugh, and the indifferent expression on his face could hardly be maintained.

【God, thanks to them for coming up with such a way.But, help, their acting skills are too bad, aren't they?Especially the young man who joined the show at the end.Hey, what kind of roar flow method is this? 】

"Maybe it's because I watched too many TV dramas in the early days." Si Qingxuan said with no surprise, "The acting skills of most young actors are like this now. After all, he didn't come from a film school, so the requirements should not be too high."

After the policeman was carried down, the main stage of the scene was back in front of Si Qingxuan.

"Mr. Morandon." Domingo gave a hasty salute in Si Qingxuan's direction, "The situation is very serious now. Although the policeman has fallen, please allow us to continue the investigation."

"Interesting." Si Qingxuan nodded, showing a slight smile, "Don't jump to conclusions. Doctor, you are here, let's take a look at the food on the table. Can you determine which food is poisonous? "

Awakened: "..."

Garcia, who was the smallest, quietly moved a few steps towards the dining table, a faint blue light flashed in his eyes.

The doctor walked to the table according to Si Qingxuan's instructions, and checked the food on the table with a silver fork and silver spoon.The silver fork was already used as a poison test. He checked all the plates on the dining table one by one, but found no toxins.But after carefully observing the steak that the policeman had bitten, he shook his head slightly.

"Master, the food has been inspected. For the time being, there is no sign of being poisoned." The doctor said respectfully. There is a strong spice smell covering it, but you can still smell it, this piece of meat has deteriorated badly."

The old butler was slightly taken aback, while the bearded chef standing aside shouted in a hoarse voice: "This is impossible—"

He rushed to the dining table and glanced at the steak, but the expression on his face suddenly went blank for a moment.

"This steak is really bad." The chef murmured, "How could it be like this, I can tell it at a glance..."

After speaking, he raised his head as if suddenly remembering something, panted heavily and swept all the food on the table to the ground, then left the living room without looking back, and walked into the dark corridor.

"...He should have gone back to the kitchen to check the situation." The old butler presided over the situation with a smile, "Everyone, please be patient. If you are tired, you can go back to the guest room we have prepared for you to rest for a while... ..."

Even though he said that, all the awakened people quietly turned their attention to Si Qingxuan.

——They had a hunch that if Si Qingxuan didn't nod and let them stay, they would never be able to continue the investigation.

The young man sitting on the main seat propped his chin with one hand, squinted his eyes slightly, like a beautiful and lazy little leopard taking a light nap.

"Okay, since the steward has said so... the few of you will stay here first. I will leave the investigation of the case to you first."

The awakened ones breathed a sigh of relief.But the next few words that the young man said made their nerves tense again——

"Everyone's performance today is very exciting." The young man smiled wickedly, "I believe that every day in the future...you will bring me surprises."

"This castle, it seems, won't be as boring as before."
