Chapter 156: The Order of the Cocktails
ο»Ώ
Is that as Fujisawa said. Zou Yu, who has no time to witness, is the real poisoner.
I didn't say it directly. Just followed Xie Chun's words: "If you can." Please invite out the guest. We do need his proof in person. β
"Okay. I know the name of that guest. I can ask the captain to bring that guest in. β
With the help of the captain. We did get the guest. And that guest did state. At that point in time at three o'clock. She was indeed drinking at the bar. and also chatting with Xie Chun. And look at the coquettish appearance of this female guest. But it complements Xie Chun perfectly. Presumably. The two men were drinking. On the one hand, I also flirted ~ and exchanged feelings.
All eyes on you. At the moment, it is all focused on Zou Yu's body. Xie Chun's suspicion seemed to be completely washed away at this moment. This time. Zou Yu looked even more bitter. He kept saying, "What do you mean?" I work alone in the storage room. Where to find witnesses. How do I say it. You believe it. β
"You repeat what you just described your work at about three o'clock." I asked again.
"And repeat." Zou Yu was a little impatient. But. Everyone, including the captain, stared at him. Let him only bite the bullet and say again. "I've been there all the time. Wash the vegetables. Prepare the dish. β
Even. This time. His description is more detailed. In order to prove his innocence. He even began to struggle to recall some details.
As a matter of fact. I never believed that Xie Chun was the poisoner. Because. He reacted perfectly normally to being suspected of being poisoned. It's the kind of anxiety and helplessness after being framed. And then. He's trying to prove his innocence. I asked him to repeat the process. even let him flashback some things. It's confirming my judgment.
Right now. I'm basically sure in my heart. Xie Chun's suspicion. is what is really excluded.
A chef to help with the cooking. If you want to take advantage of food poisoning to let people fall into the water. There are many ways he can do it. Belladonna doesn't have to be used. And if it's food poisoning. The chef is the most suspicious. A criminal who can think of using belladonna and eye drops. It is impossible to make such a low-level mistake. It's going to make poisoning so straightforward. And guide yourself in your own career. No. Unless he has a split personality.
Now Zou Yu is not a split personality. So. He wasn't lying. At that point in time. He's probably in the storage room.
My gaze returned to Xie Chun's face again. However. Everyone's focus is still on Zou Yu's statement. This guy wants to show his innocence. Still talking there. I didn't ask him to stop. He is even recalling every detail.
I noticed that Zou Yu was describing. The muscles on Xie Chun's face twitched slightly. And the corners of his lips and eyes are squeezing slightly. This is a typical expression of restraint in one's own expression. Other words. He's pretty happy with the situation. He's deliberately keeping his composure. Or even that inner joy.
Joy. Because all the suspicions have been cleared. Come on. This guy is also too naΓ―ve. I'm on vacation though. But. My mind never stopped thinking. This is a bit of pediatrics. He can't fool me.
I hooked my hand. Let Fujisawa come to me. I whispered in his ear: "You said that Xie Chun's suspicion has been basically ruled out. So. I'm going to teach you some basic judgment now. Did you notice that Xie Chun touched his nose when answering the question? Males have corpora cavernosa under the nose. Touching your nose means wanting to disguise something. And also. If a lie has been prepared beforehand. There will be a strong desire to finish the lie soon. That is, the reaction time difference is very short and short. We asked Xie Chun and Zou Yu about each other. Thereinto. Zou Yu's concept of time point is vague. He's been emphasizing what he's doing. And there is no prominent point in time. That's the proof. He was interested in the time when Lin leisurely fell into the water. There is no particular emphasis. And Zou Yu is different. He didn't even need to think about it to answer all his actions. And deliberately mentioned three points in time several times. β
"Uh. Brother Xu. You mean to say. Zou Yu is the real murderer. β
The corners of my mouth moved. "I've told you. Xie Chun is not the real murderer. So. As a detective enthusiast. How can you make Zou Yu admit it himself. β
"How do you get him to admit it." Fujisawa scratched his head. But he had time to witness. But you say. He behaved strangely. So. The only explanation is. Time Witness also lied. β
"Or. The time witness himself did not realize that he had lied. Look at the woman. followed Xie Chun's eyebrows. And she said it too. She drank all the time at the bar. Such a woman. She could determine how much time she could have drunk too much. Just look like she is now. It's all drunk and smoky. So. The credibility of her confession is extremely low. You just have to find a way to prove that Zou Yu was not at the bar at three o'clock. It's a major breakthrough. β
I gave Fujisawa a hint again. And Fujisawa also felt the pressure on himself. He clearly knew. I was guiding him. And he didn't want to disappoint me. This time. He waved his hand. Let me stop at the prompt: "I don't believe I can think of a solution to the problem." β
Fujisawa's eyes began to stare at Xie Chun. And Xie Chun quickly noticed this. He didn't shy away from his gaze either. Liars don't avoid the other person's eyes, as is commonly understood. Instead, you need eye contact to determine whether you believe what he says. in behavioral psychology. Describe a chain of events. The fabrications are all in chronological order. The ability to perform flashbacks fluently and accurately is one of the criteria for judging whether the other party is lying. And when narrating, the eyeball looks down to the left. This represents the brain recalling. What is said is the truth. And lies don't need the process of recall
Fujisawa: After these instructions from me. He already has some basic judgment and common sense. So at the moment. He interrupted Zou Yu's reply. Asked directly: "Xie Chun." Can you describe what you just did at the bar around three o'clock. Flashback too. β
Suddenly, the subject changed. made Xie Chun a little uncomfortable. And flashbacks for a liar. If you haven't prepared in advance. Errors in repetition are inevitable. Even slips of the tongue began to appear.
Xie Chun faced the question of retelling. Errors in the description began to appear. And that's not the most critical thing. The point is. His description of the point in time. Finally, there was confusion.
"You just said. Around three o'clock. Drinking with this female customer. But you're in flashbacks. But it was described at that point in time. You're preparing the ingredients for the mixology. β
"So... Xie Chun swallowed. Said immediately. "Preparing ingredients and bartending are not contradictory. Because it's also a preparation period for bartending. β
Fujisawa frowned: "Then do you remember the order in which she was bartendered at that time?" β
"Of course I do. B52 bomber, blue Magritte, Pretty in Pink... β
"What's the name of the penultimate glass of wine?" Fujisawa abruptly interrupted his retelling.
Xie Chun was overwhelmed by the question at that moment. At that moment. There was a brief pause in his thoughts. I was stunned for a long time. only to say: "Pretty in Pink." β
"If I'm not mistaken. That's what you said at the beginning. "Fujisawa has finally found the optimal rhythm.
Everyone stared at Xie Chun. That moment. I'm sure he's definitely in a state of collapse. Because. He didn't expect it at all. On this ship. Before landing. There are really people who are so serious about this issue. And the questions asked were extremely professional. There's no way for him to keep lying.
"You have to think about answering well. Because. The more you talk. The more flaws. "Finally. I started talking. Because. I need to wrap up for Fujisawa.
"I... I'm not lying. I'm really bartending. And I was chatting with this female customer. Xie Chun continued to quibble.
I snorted. Instead, he asked the female customer, "How do you know for sure?" It's really three o'clock when you're drinking with him. β
"I looked at the wall clock at the bar."
Wall clock. Fujisawa's body shuddered. At this time. He was completely awakened. Because. I reminded him early in the morning. Time witnesses. Maybe you don't realize you're lying.
He realized: "The poisoner has perfectly escaped the surveillance cameras. So. He was extremely familiar with the position of the camera on the hull. In other words. He was also very aware of the design of the hull. Even the activities of the few points in the cabin are extremely clear. At that point in time. Did any customers come to the cabin to drink? Or rather. Who will come to drink? In fact, he will have a clear idea. After all. He has been in the industry for many years. He can make a rough judgment. If before that. The poisoner had long known who had come back to drink. In order to deliberately create evidence of time. He can even set the wall clock in advance. Let others mistakenly think that it was about three o'clock. β
"You've finally found the key factor." I pointed to the female customer's wrist. "See, no. The female customer didn't have a watch with her. And she was drunk. It is completely impossible to judge by looking at the time. Her only possibility. Look at the wall clock on the wall to tell the time. Captain. I think. Because of the rush of time. Xie Chun may not have time to adjust the wall clock. Or after adjustments. It can't be completely accurate. We only need to compare whether the time of the wall clock is the exact time. You can find some clues. β
When I'm done with that. The captain couldn't wait to call for someone to bring the wall clock from the bar. And when the wall clock appeared in front of everyone, it was. As expected. A hand of time. Sure enough, it wasn't in the right place. This point in time. It was more than an hour later than the normal time point.
"Don't tell me. It's the wall clock that's broken. Otherwise, this excuse. But it's really lo. You deliberately slowed down your time by more than an hour. Because you know. The female customer would come to the bar around four o'clock to drink. And when she came. Indeed, the clock I saw was three o'clock. Lin leisurely finished lunch. Plus the time point at which hallucinations appear in poisoning. But it happened to be around two o'clock. There is a time lag in between. There are many things you can do. Xie Chun. Isn't it time for you to explain something? β
