Because it was not properly preserved, there was not much wine left in the rotten oak barrel that killed the brother and family of Jeronimis.

Lou Shang found a cup, took a little of the remaining "sin wine", and tried to taste it.

Take a light breath.

Let go of the cup.

After a short pause, exhale again.

This is the standard sniffing action of the wine country god's tongue without leaving a trace of breath in the wine.

Master Lou Shang commented on the wine, and he has never been expressionless.

The only time that the tongue of the wine country had a "different" reaction was the bottle brought back by Literature and Art, which had been polluted by disinfectant water for "money and murder".

Even if he gave the comment of the four words "seeking money and killing people", the tongue of the wine country god did not have a trace of expression.

This time, Lou Shang directly frowned.

Compared with the previous "murder for money" that was slightly affected by the contamination of the cork by disinfectant water, the cup in front of him is the real "murder for money".

Lou Shang only needs to smell it, and he can get the same result as the investigation report - methanol seriously exceeds the standard.

To what extent it exceeds the standard, you still have to taste it to know.

Lou Shang picked up the wine glass again, but was held down by the quick fifth summer: "Wait a minute." ”

After Lou Xia finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lou Shang to answer, so he rushed out directly.

Lou Xia brought a set of cups and two glass bottles of mineral water from the car.

Literature and art have a habit of cleanliness, and the car in the fifth summer is ready for the necessities of literary and artistic life at any time.

The wine just now, if Lou Xia wants to taste it himself, the container that you can find anywhere in the castle can be drunk directly with wine.

Even if there is no container, the fifth summer can open his mouth and use it directly.

Now the person who wants to taste it has become an elder brother, how can it be so casual?

Although the fifth summer does not know how to make wine, just looking at the document left by Jeronymis in the room, one can draw a concise and clear conclusion - "barreling" is a procedure that should not be too long.

Thirty-seven years of ultra-long "barrel" period, no matter how "proud" it is, it must have changed beyond recognition.

Clearly set out the wine in question, as a younger sister, how can she not help her brother prepare a clean mouthwash?

Lou Xia's taste buds have not been sensitive since he was a child, while Lou Shang is the complete opposite.

The elder brother can endure it and pass, but the younger sister is reluctant to let her brother's taste buds be ravaged all the time.

Fifth, Xia is the kind of "ruthless" who doesn't really take a person to heart.

It's also a "cold noodle pie" that doesn't really treat people well.

Her heart is small and can only accommodate an extremely limited number of people.

The disadvantage of being small-hearted is that few people can approach it.

The advantage of being small is that once someone gets the "right of permanent residence" in her little heart, they will receive all-round care without dead ends.

In the fifth summer, for the sake of literary and artistic cleanliness, she carried a lot of things that she couldn't use at all.

Lou Xia naturally wouldn't let Lou Shang's frown.

Lou Shang, who was originally frowning deeply, thinking of enduring it and passing over, stretched from his brows to the corners of his mouth after seeing the wine glass and mineral water that Lou Xia took back.

It's nice to have a sister who feels sorry for herself.

Unparalleled, irreplaceable.

Obviously he was tasting the most terrifying glass of wine in his career, and he was obviously taking a glass of "murder for money" in the real sense, but Lou Shang felt like he had taken a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine.

Lou Shangcai spit out the wine that had passed less than half a second in his mouth, and Lou Xia brought the mineral water to his mouth.

The slugs have grown up and no longer have a warm smile on their faces like they did when they were children.

But Niu Niu is still the same Niu Niu.

Beneath the cold exterior, there is a warm heart.

Lou Shang thought so, and the corners of his mouth hung a good-looking arc.

The first day of my sister's recovery.

A new starting point for a better future.

Lou Xia stared at Lou Shang for a long time.

Lou Shang's expression didn't look like he had drunk whiskey that was not suitable for human drinking.

Fifth, Xia didn't understand why anyone could drink "poisonous wine", and they could drink it as thin as cicada wings and as sweet as honey.

"Wine, no problem?" Fifth Xia asked directly about his puzzlement.

"Yes, there is a problem. This is the first time that the tongue of the wine country has been distracted in the process of tasting: "The volatility of methanol is higher than that of ethanol, and after 37 years, I can still drink the content of methanol seriously exceeding the standard, which is obviously not an illegal disinfection operation, and can remain in the barrel of measurement." ”

Lou Xia looked at Lou Shang and did not answer.

Whether it's volatile or methanol content, it sounds abstract.

Seeing this, Lou Shang gave Lou Xia a further explanation: "We used 70 kilograms to set the weight of the victims of the Brunschweig family at that time. Even then, it would take at least 21 grams of methanol to be lethal. Normally, even if it is industrial alcohol, the methanol content will not exceed 1%. Do you know what that means?"

"I don't know. "Fifth Summer is always concise and to the point.

This means that even if the industrial alcohol used for disinfection is poured directly into the Brunschweig whisky, it will need to be drunk at least one litre to reach the lethal level. Lou Shang made the most conservative estimate.

"Oh. "Fifth Summer doesn't think that a liter of whisky is anything unreasonable.

It was the first time for Lou Shang to see the cute Fifth Xia, and he couldn't help touching Lou Xia's head.

Lou Shang suddenly understood why literature had to kill literature and art at every turn.

After ravaging Lou Xia's head, Lou Shang began to do a detailed analysis:

"No matter how insensitive, you can't fail to drink the difference between industrial alcohol and your own whiskey, right?"

"The residual liquor, the methanol content is very high, but the destruction of industrial alcohol is not too obvious. ”

"Methanol is less irritating to smell and taste than ethanol. ”

"Most of the alcohol-free disinfectants that often appear on the market without obvious odor are disguised with methanol. ”

"Wine with a small amount of methanol is indeed not easy to distinguish, but it is impossible to find it from the perspective of a professional winemaker when it reaches a lethal amount. ”

People who don't understand alcohol, don't love alcohol, and don't drink alcohol may not be able to drink the advantages and disadvantages of alcohol, anyway, no matter what kind of wine, as long as it is in the mouth, it is the same and only feels stimulating.

But people who know wine, even if they are far from the level of a wine appraiser, even if they are just an ordinary person who can drink, most of them can tell whether the wine they love to drink is real or fake.

Most fake wines, even if they can't be seen when they are packaged, can be felt when they take the first sip.

Westwood's family of nine is not and cannot be like Lou Xia, with extremely underdeveloped taste buds and a casual amount of more than one liter of alcohol.

Lou Shang's analysis shocked Lou Xia and directly rushed into English: "My brother, what you want to tell me is that the methanol in this oak barrel was added after the death of Mr. Westwood's family, right? This also means that this barrel of whiskey is not the culprit of the Westwood family's methanol poisoning death?"

Lou Shang replied in English: "My sister, I think, you understand what I mean." ”

A tragic case related to the destruction of nine people, because of the appearance of "my brother" and "my sister", at first glance it doesn't sound so heavy.

But that's just how it sounds.

Lou Shang waited for Lou Xia's further reaction.

But after a short period of shock, Lou Xia returned to a state where he didn't care about himself.

She, the fifth summer, didn't even think of inheriting the winery left by Jaronymus.

What can such a fifth summer have to do with the Westwood family?

Not to mention the murder of thirty-seven years ago, even if it is close at hand, it may not be able to arouse the interest of the fifth summer.

Lou Shang refreshed Lou Xia's cognition with a question that followed: "Sister...... There is no impression, Mom...... Then...... How did you pass away?"

Lou Shang asked a little hesitantly, he didn't want to uncover the wound that made Lou Xia's flesh blur.

But the unnatural death of the Westwood family is hard not to be reminiscent of the sudden death of the fifth Qiwen.

"Mom...... Mom?" Lou Xia was still a little unaccustomed to the title.

The memories of my mother are too cruel and bloody.

My brother has returned to the world of the fifth summer, but my mother hasn't.

Lou Xia was frightened by Lou Shang's question, and she didn't know how to answer.

Even if there are photos to prove it, in the depths of his soul, he has denied it for 18 years in a row, and he has been a child without a mother for 18 years, how can he remember how the fifth Qiwen died at that time?

When asked, Lou Shang did not hesitate, but when it came to the culprit of death, he still talked about his mother's death in a hurry.

There are some words that I can't suppress when I don't say them, and when I say them, I regret them.

Lou Shang walked to Lou Xia's side, smiled and waved his hand in front of Lou Xia, who was stunned: "Doesn't my sister have another document to throw to my brother?"

The master's smile is rare and healing.

Fifth Xia's thoughts, along with Lou Shang's smile, were taken back from the tragedy when he was four years old.

The last document that Teronymis thought of putting into his will and finally came out was a verdict from eighteen years ago.

It was found that the contract between the Scotch Whisky Association and Hieron Nimis, signed thirty-seven years earlier, was unlawful and therefore null and void.

Westwood is a patent applied for in the name of the Brunschweig Distillery, not his own.

As long as Hieronymis inherited the Brunschweig distillery, he had the right to assign or relinquish the patent.

But when he signed the agreement, he had not yet inherited the distillery.

If you don't own a patent at the time, there is no reason to give up your patent.

Nineteen years ago, the news that the Brunschweig distillery was going to reopen was probably for this reason.

There was only three days between the time when the verdict took effect and the time when Fifth Qiwen died.

The Westwood family died the day they got their patent.

Fifth, Qiwen died on the third day after getting her patent back.

If the two are not connected, Lou Shang is the first to believe it.

Originally, I wanted to divert the topic with a new document, but I didn't think about it, so I brought the topic into the endless abyss.
