Chapter 178: Miniature Killer African Army Ant

"Miss Lin, Young Master Wu, now that all the servants have gathered in the courtyard, do you want to let them in?" The middle-aged man said.

Lin Binghan nodded, glanced at Liu Qing, and then slowly spoke: "Butler, now you go and talk to them, let them wait for the next one to come in, and you can come in first after the notice." ”

"Yes. Good. The butler nodded and hurried out.

After a while, the housekeeper walked in from outside, and Lin Binghan and the three of them took a few steps back, signaling Liu Qing to help with treatment. Liu Qing stepped forward, glanced at the housekeeper slightly, and said suspiciously: "You haven't gone out during this period of evening?" ”

"No, I'm just alone in the evening." The housekeeper replied that although he didn't know Liu Qing's identity, the person who could stand side by side with Miss Lin was definitely not someone without identity, maybe it was Miss Lin's boyfriend.

"Oh." Liu Qing nodded.

The reason why he asked this was because when the housekeeper first came in, the system had already reminded him that he had not been infected by the virus at all. It stands to reason that almost all the pets in the Lin family's yard are infected, but the other party's body is not abnormal at all.

"Young Master, may I ask any questions?" The housekeeper looked at Liu Qing suspiciously, not knowing what the other party meant by asking this question, he began to think crankily in his heart, guessing that maybe the Lin family had lost something.

"No, you go there and rest first." Liu Qing shook his head, he couldn't tell the other party's truth for a while, and pointed to the opposite corner and said. "By the way, let the next person come in first, just shout at the door, don't touch them."

Hearing Liu Qing's words, the housekeeper was even more convinced of the idea of losing the item, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back, such a thing as losing the item was definitely a dereliction of duty. He followed Liu Qing's instructions, stood at the door and called the next person to come in, and then quickly walked to the corner.

The second one who came in was a middle-aged woman, dressed in yellow clothes, with crisp short ear-length hair, and an average appearance. She walked up to Liu Qing with a puzzled face and stood quietly.

"Are you okay?" Liu Qing looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him in astonishment, but he didn't expect that the other party was also in good health, nothing happened at all, it seemed that only the five of them in the entire Lin family were infected with the virus.

"What's the matter?" The woman asked in surprise in very non-standard Mandarin, her expression full of doubt.

Liu Qing shook his head, pointed to the place where the housekeeper was standing and said, "You can also go over there and stand down, please help me call the next person before you go, just shout at the door, don't contact them." ”

The woman nodded and did as Liu Qing said. In just five minutes, several servants walked in one after another outside the door, and Liu Qing had only seen two of them. One is for cooking, and the other is for cleaning.

To Liu Qing's surprise, several servants were also in good health and had not been infected by the virus, and when Liu Qing asked where they were in the evening, they all said that they were busy working in the courtyard of the Lin family, but there was nothing at all.

Liu Qing counted, at this time there were already eight people in the room, and there were two people left outside, so he asked the eighth person to call the ninth person in, and when he saw the ninth person, there was a false cry in his mind.

"This one has it, this one has it." Vanity repeated the words twice.

Hearing the hint of the void, Liu Qing's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head again, the other party couldn't be so stupid, stupid enough to let him be infected alone, if it wasn't as he expected, the last maid would definitely be infected.

In this way, there is no way to distinguish where the poisoned person is, and the two poisoned people and the few people who are not poisoned should be suspected. After Liu Qing cleaned the toxins from the ninth servant's body, the last servant finally walked in quickly.

"This one too." The vanity prompted.

Hearing the words of Xuan Cai, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qing's mouth, as expected, this murderer was really deceitful, and he did such a thing to confuse the public, so that he would not be able to distinguish him for a while.

"Well, alright, you all come here." After Liu Qing treated the last one, he nodded at the nine people standing in the corner and said with a smile.

Ten people, you look at me, I look at you, all look at each other in surprise, and they don't know what is going on. However, they still moved their steps and walked in front of Liu Qing and stood in a row, waiting suspiciously for Liu Qing's next words.

"Let me tell you the truth, someone in the Lin family poisoned and almost poisoned your Miss Lin's favorite cat to death. If it hadn't been discovered in time, it is estimated that even we would have been poisoned. Liu Qing cleared his throat and said loudly.

"Ah, how is it possible, how can anyone dare to poison the Lin family?"

"It's, it's just, it's bold."

"Then it seems that Miss Lin is fine now."

"Shhhhh

“……”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, there was a lot of discussion for a while, and they all looked at Liu Qing with puzzled eyes. In the end, the two of them patted their heads as if they suddenly realized, it turned out that Liu Qing wanted to shake hands with them to help him check drugs, but could this be useful?

"Be quiet." Liu Qing pressed down with the palms of both hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and after the discussion in the room stopped, Liu Qing continued: "In order to find out the murderer as soon as possible, we want to ask everyone to do a favor, we want to test whether it was you who did it, and please cooperate." ”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, they were still talking about the fact that several servants closed their mouths, and they were naturally very concerned about matters related to their reputation. Lin Binghan and the three of them also looked at Liu Qing in some surprise, not knowing what Liu Qing wanted to do.

Liu Qing smiled, his right hand mysteriously inserted into his pocket, and half a minute later, he slowly pulled out under the gaze of everyone. He clenched his fists, stretched them out in front of everyone, and then slowly spread them.

"Look, this is an African army ant, I'm sure none of you have heard of it, but I can tell you that this is an absolutely dangerous ant. If you've ever heard of termites or blood ants, you'll know how powerful they are, and they are several times more powerful than them. Liu Qing smiled as he spread out a black ant in his hand in front of everyone.

The women took a few steps back in fright, they hadn't heard of African army ants, but they had heard of termites and blood ants. Seeing that there were almost hundreds of army ants on Liu Qing's hands, their bodies trembled and they took a few steps back again.

"You know, army ants are known for their ferocity, and they are nicknamed miniature killers. When an 18-centimeter-long mouse falls into an ant colony, it will immediately be covered with army ants, and within seconds it will convulse all over its body. The army ants move in an orderly manner towards the nest with a small piece of bloody flesh gnawed off from the rat's body, and after 5 hours, the mouse is left with only a skeleton. Liu Qing stretched out five fingers and smiled at everyone.

As if the current intimidation was not enough, Liu Qing continued: "In World War II, there were military ants that wiped out a German army. What you don't know is that the ant also has a lie detector function, and if someone else lies, it will call its companions to attack at the same time and bite that person to death. ”

Liu Qing's words became slower and slower at the end, as if he was reading a horror novel, and the ** part of the reading at the end suddenly drank violently, and the ten people on the other side looked at him in horror.

"Now they will all stretch out their hands, and there are ten army ants on each person, if you don't lie, then it will be fine, if you lie, then the army ants will definitely bite you to death, don't worry, the question I asked is definitely not about poisoning." Liu Qing smiled.

Ten people, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to move forward, and in the end, the housekeeper took the lead in walking out of it, stretched out his palm, and said, "I believe that I will not do anything to be sorry for Lin Lao." ”

Seeing the housekeeper taking the lead, some of the people behind them stretched out their hands slowly, and there were also a few women who were so frightened that their legs were weak when the army ants climbed into the palms of their hands, how could they have ever seen such a scene.

After everyone finished distributing the military ants, Liu Qing controlled the military ants to crawl into the cuffs from their palms, and comforted everyone: "Don't climb, the military ants will never bite you, but if you lie, the military ants will only bite you in the deadliest place." ”

Everyone found that Liu Qing in front of them was like a demon, and they all involuntarily took two steps back, and some of them stood stiffly in front of them, motionless, for fear that they would eat themselves if they were angered.

"Okay, then I'm going to ask questions." Liu Qing said with a smile.

"I'll ask first." Wu Gang, who was standing behind, walked up to Liu Qing's side with great interest, stretched out his head and said.

Lin Binghan, who was standing behind, glanced at Wu Gang with a cold face, and then tapped his back with his finger, Wu Gang had a stiff smile on his face, and hurriedly walked back, making a helpless gesture to Liu Qing.

"Then I asked, you can answer one by one, and the question I want to ask is, who was poisoned and why?" Liu Qing said slowly.

"Liu Qing, didn't you say that you would never ask about poisoning?" Wu Gang asked.

"Yes, I don't ask about poisoning, I ask about poisoning." Liu Qing looked at Wu Gang with an innocent face.

"......" Wu Gang and the three of them glanced at each other, with an expression of being defeated by Liu Qing.

"Well, I know it takes a lot of courage to confess and be lenient, and now I'm going to give you time, and in ten seconds, if you can stand up, I'll definitely let you go. As long as you explain the main messenger behind you, I can also give you a sum of money to go home for retirement. Liu Qing said with a smile. I swear in my conscience that this is absolutely true. ”

"Ten."

"Nine."

“……”

"Two."

There was silence in the room, even Wu Gang waited motionlessly, and as time passed, Liu Qing's voice gradually became low.
