Chapter 364: Motive for Killing

Sure enough, after that person introduced himself, everyone learned that his identity was "forensic doctor", although Mo Xiaoyao was very suspicious of whether there was such a classification in this context, but it was undeniable that he was the one who could identify all kinds of clues and physical evidence.

"Mr. Forensic Doctor, please help us find out what the cause of death of the deceased was."

Mo Xiaoyao discussed with the other 3 people, and decided to find out the real cause of the deceased's death first, and then go to Edward's bedroom, after all, everyone has a direct or indirect relationship with him, and maybe he can ask something.

"Actually, I've already checked, but I can't tell you until you pay 1 point." "He can choose to ask in public or private, and I will do it." ”

The four of them looked at each other, and none of them wanted to contribute their points to cheapen others, Suzanne hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked John and Michelle, "Can you two go and ask?" Just choose to answer openly. ”

John Michelle: "We don't have any points. ”

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Suzanne fell silent, afraid that if she said one more word, she would be forced by the other three to consume the scouting points.

Mo Xiaoyao looked at those 3 people coldly, in fact, according to the inference in her heart, if it is correct, 5 points are still rich, and it doesn't matter if you use 1, but the premise is to serve real teammates, as for these people-heh!

"Why don't the four of us hold the palms of our hands." Lady Mary made this suggestion, and kept looking left and right as she spoke, for fear that others would disagree, "The winner of the game is decided, and the one who is out of the game will use the points." ”

Mo Xiaoyao glanced at the left hand that she had been rubbing the back of her right hand, agreed to this suggestion, and then kept the action of the back of her hand in the next 3 palms and backs, happily eliminating Susanna.

It's really good, Mo Xiaoyao thought, sure enough, Robert and Lady Mary made a PY deal in private.

Although she was not very reluctant, Suzanne did not break the contract, after all, it was the will of most people, and she only lost 1 reconnaissance point, so she really couldn't do it for this face.

got the reconnaissance points, and because he chose to make it public, the forensic doctor directly said the conclusion out loud: "Antonio died of poisoning." I tested the evidence around him, and the candy contained a similar toxin, and the cigarette contained a large amount of mercury, and smoking it produced a similar poisoning effect. β€œ

At this point, he paused for a few seconds, as if to give the unprofessional personnel some time to digest and remember, before continuing to speak.

"As for the snake bite on his body, it was from the fangs of the only species of venomous snake in the vicinity, the Arctic Viper. A bitten by a farnorthern viper will cause severe pain, with a more severe reaction after twenty minutes. Victims experience swelling, dizziness, vomiting, and the worst symptoms appear after six hours – and while a Far North Viper bite can be painful, it is rarely fatal. ”

Lady Mary nodded in agreement: "After the deceased shouted, the system issued a task to me to go to his bedroom to have a look, now that I think about it, he was probably bitten by a snake at that time." ”

Suzanne looked at John, and then at Mo Xiaoyao: "Then which of the two of you did it?" ”

With this obviously rhythmic feeling, Mo Xiaoyao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and directly asked John a very important question: "John, did you put that far-north viper?" Where did you put it? ”

John: "I put it, I put it in Edward's bedroom." I know that the Arctic Viper is not deadly, but the pain it causes is enough for him to bear, and if his old heart can't stand it, it's better to die. Anyway, if it's a nearby kind of snake, others will just think that it has slipped in. ”

Mo Xiaoyao turned his head to stare at Lady Mary: "Since the Arctic Viper was put into Edward's bedroom, why did you say go to Antonio's bedroom?" ”

Lady Mary: "Maybe he walked back on his own, who knows?" I'm controlled by the system and can't just walk around - you're not suspicious of me, are you? Then I still suspect you, you are the most suspicious, that candy is in the kitchen, maybe you stole it. ”

Mo Xiaoyao: "You were also in the kitchen at the time. ”

Lady Mary: "I'm in the kitchen, but I've been talking to the head chef. ”

Mo Xiaoyao: "Later, you deliberately poured milk on me, I left first, but you still left." ”

Lady Mary: "Is it poisoning to stay?" Suzanne is also in charge of pushing the food cart out, and there are opportunities on the way. ”

Susanna: "What does it have to do with me, obviously the system arranged for me to deliver it, and I can't move around." ”

Lady Mary: "What if the system controls you and poisons you directly?" ”

Robert: "...... Don't you argue, why don't you go upstairs and collect evidence first? It's half past nine now. ”

Mo Xiaoyao: "Then why don't you go to Edward's bedroom and have a look, didn't John say that he left the snake there?" Maybe there's still a little bit of it. ”

There was no opposition to this proposal, and although they knew that they could not hurt each other, the four of them left a distance with each other's vigilance, for fear that someone would suddenly go crazy with the idea of dying together.

The forensic doctor, as a forensic officer, also followed, and the group of seven people quickly arrived at Edward's bedroom.

Edward was still sitting on his single couch, his head down, the windows still all open, and the night breeze outside brought in gusts of fresh air, even the heavy velvet curtains were blowing a ripple.

Mo Xiaoyao glanced at the situation in the house, and had a general understanding in his heart, in fact, the development of things to this point is already very clear.

She was certainly not the murderer herself, because the poison was only placed on two candies, and Antonio did not eat it, and put it in his pocket without moving.

Robert's motive for killing is not obvious, or rather, he can leave the Mist Manor and fly away without paying attention to the grievances and hatreds here. Even if Lady Mary is his qΓ­ng fΓΉ, in this day and age, it is not something that is not allowed, but will be talked about in some places.

So Robert's motive for killing is actually the smallest, and even if he did, the object should be John, not Antonio, the person who helped him write letters of recommendation - the other party has no problem with him leaving Lady Mary, or taking Lady Mary away, a man who is completely obsessed with power and money.

This can be seen from the fact that he wants to marry his half-sister to an old man in exchange for his own political future. As for why he wrote a letter of recommendation to Robert - Mo Xiaoyao suspected that Robert might have some kind of trick, maybe it was something related to his status as an illegitimate child.

Next are Michelle and John, these two people are the most suspicious on the surface, because of the relationship between the heirs in line, as long as Antonio is dead, they can profit from it. But there is a big premise, they have to restore their identity first.

In this way, there are delicate checks and balances between the two people, and whoever makes the first move can directly testify to the other person, and after ensuring that he is the only heir, he can find a way to restore his identity.

Combined with what the forensic doctor said before, Mo Xiaoyao is almost certain that the murderer is one of Suzanne or Lady Mary, but the problem is that if she takes the lead vote Susanna, Lady Mary and Robert will definitely follow the vote, but if she testifies against Lady Mary, maybe there will be a tie result.

Glancing at the 6 minutes she had saved in the time bank, Mo Xiaoyao felt that she had to start acting.

It may be that Suzanne used up 1 reconnaissance point before, and at this time she felt a little broken and broken, and she didn't wait for others to speak, and said directly to the forensic doctor: "This dining cart was pushed by me from the kitchen, and the things have been put on the table, see if it is poisonous or not, anyway, I am not a murderer, and I am not afraid to investigate." ”

Someone paid for the reconnaissance points, and the forensic doctor naturally began to work, walked over to check it, and deducted Susanna's 2 reconnaissance points: "Black tea is poisonous, and after drinking it, it will produce the same condition as the deceased." The rest of the dim sum is not poisonous. ”

Lady Mary: "This tea is made by Zoya herself!" She's a murderer! ”

The eyes of the three people all turned to Mo Xiaoyao, and Lady Mary even shouted to vote her to death directly, ending the game, and it seemed that Robert and Suzanne were quite moved.

Mo Xiaoyao ignored them, and instead turned to John and Michelle and asked, "Do you two still have the right to vote?" ”

Michelle John: "We can vote. ”

Mo Xiaoyao: "What about the basis of voting?" ”

Michelle John: "Randomly, or follow the vote of the person who holds the conclusive evidence." ”

Mo Xiaoyao nodded, turned his head to look at Mrs. Mary, let go of the two hands that had been holding his arms, and revealed a pair of gloves that his right hand had been holding: "For example, this?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for an answer, Mo Xiaoyao walked up to the forensic doctor with his gloves and handed him the things: "Test this, Susanna, help me pay for the reconnaissance points, I have used up just now." ”

Susanna: "...... Why me? ”

Mo Xiaoyao slowed: "Don't you want to end this copy quickly?" This is the key clue, and it is these gloves that Lady Mary wore when she was in the kitchen. ”

Suzanne was skeptical of what Mo Xiaoyao said, but she had now used up her 3 reconnaissance points, and it was useless to leave the rest, so after hesitating for a few seconds, she directly agreed.

Forensics: "These gloves are contaminated with a toxic substance, the same as in black tea." ”

Mo Xiaoyao took the gloves handed back by the forensic doctor and shook them: "The description of the item says 'Lady Mary's dirty gloves', why are they stained with toxic substances?" I think everyone can figure it out. The poison in the black tea was given by her, and the person who originally wanted to be poisoned was actually Edward, but for some reason, he was mistakenly drunk by Antonio, so he was poisoned to death - tsk, she was almost able to clear her name with the universal cognition of 'tiger poison does not eat children'. ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Mary to open her mouth to argue, Mo Xiaoyao raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Mary: "I suggest that a vote be launched to end this brain-burning copy - I think the murderer is Mrs. Mary." ”..
