"Backwards? That's a good idea...... However, in this case, something may be missed, and at the same time, it may further complicate the problem. Su Wen explained to Balot: "If you follow your method, all the people who were around Marlena just now may take the opportunity to poison the wine, so the number of suspects has been doubled all of a sudden. ”

Ballot didn't express much of it, and listened attentively.

"Those people are inextricably linked to your snow castle...... If you pick it out little by little, I'm afraid the murderer has already run away, right?"

Barlow nodded, the truth was indeed as Su Wen said. How can the various agreements reached between the upper class of Snow Castle City and Snow Castle City openly or secretly involve the exchange of interests that can be sorted out for a while?

"So, let's just put those people in the second echelon of suspects for the time being. Su Wen did not completely reject Barot's proposal, but also adopted some of the suggestions, and then said to Ellie, "Can you still feel the residual toxins on those people's bodies?"

"It's a bit of a mess, wait. Ellie enlarged her sense of smell as she sniffed as she looked around the people in the banquet hall, "I'll have to make sure." ”

After Ellie finished speaking, she went to the crowd to reconfirm.

"Well, I do remember, there was anyone in the family who ever left their seat......"

Su Wen was slightly surprised and asked Barot to continue.

"I didn't really like the atmosphere, so I sat there after the party started, and I just watched the people all the time......," Barot explained herself, judging from her performance during the day, there was indeed a reasonable motive.

"Out of my sight, there is the Great Elder Vincent, the Third Elder Ivan, and then the ...... My mother, Vivien...... And the other three ladies, and my father and Grandpa David, and Roland and Shirley, too?

Barot sat in the corner of the hall the whole time, which everyone could testify to for her, and naturally got rid of suspicion for the time being.

"So, what kind of people are they?"

Barot thought for a moment, and then shared her views on them from her own perspective.

"Grandpa Vincent, the Great Elder, is quite old-fashioned, and values reputation more than anything else, and I was quite afraid of him when I was a child...... The third elder, Grandpa Ivan, feels like a good old man, and he smiles at everyone. ”

"My mother, Vivien, is the youngest daughter of Count Fred, and she met her father at the Imperial Academy, but as for human beings, what can I say...... It's still hard for me to judge my mother. Balotte held her back for a moment, but continued: "In short, my mother is a very gentle, majestic, and sensible person. Mother also once told me about her and her father's youth, and at the same time, Marlena's mother...... and Sister Marlena. ”

"In other words, you already knew about Marina's existence?"

"Yes, my brother and I both know that we also have a sister. Moreover, my mother also often mentioned Marlena's mother, and it seems that she has a very good impression of Marlena's mother and is still her number one fan......"

"Then you're really your own. Su Wen grinned softly and whispered.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, you continue. ”

"Oh. Barot didn't seem to hear Su Wen's muttering clearly, and continued: "The second lady Lisa and the third lady Aisha, they come from a magical family and are also the younger sisters of their parents, and they are also good to me and my brother, but their relationship is good and bad, sometimes they look at them talking and laughing one second, but the next second they start to use magic to bombard each other...... However, Roland and Shirley have always had a good relationship. ”

Su Wen thought about that kind of picture and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, your father is really happy." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing, you continue. ”

"......" the corners of Balot's mouth twitched: "As for the little lady Ventini, she is the sister of a small nobleman, although her family background is ordinary, but she is very intelligent, she is very smart in economic affairs, and she is also very good to us, and when there is no pocket money, she will give it to us...... It's just that I feel like I'm a little too doting on Kyle. Actually, it's not just her, my father is also very fond of Kyle......"

"So Kyle became that kind of bear kid?"

"Hmm......"

When Barrot finished introducing Wendini, Ellie returned to the two of them just in time to confirm where the toxin was located.

"I looked at it just now, and I found that the residue of toxin decomposition products on several people was too abnormal! It should be a suspect who had been in close contact with toxins!" Ellie finished speaking, and showed only Su Wen and Balott those people one by one.

The results were quite unexpected.

On the four ladies, Ellie all smelled the smell of the residual material after the decomposition of the toxin, and in addition, the third elder Ivan also had the smell of the decomposition of the toxin.

This is the strongest evidence that they have been exposed to toxins.

This toxin does not survive long in the air, but it can survive in liquid environments and in the human body. If exposed for a long time, it will decompose into a special harmless substance, and Ellie relies on her sense of smell to identify this substance and lock on to the suspect.

"But...... It can't be!" Barrot looked at Ellie with an expression of disbelief and surprise, "Are you mistaken?"

After all, the people Ellie pointed out are all important family members of Balot.

"Of course not. Su Wen said: "The murderer just wants to divert attention and confuse the public, and blame Warrent's wives." But the elder was quite a surprise. ”

"Impossible, how could Grandpa Ivan be a murderer?"

"I didn't say he was a murderer, Ellie, you go on, who else has it. ”

"The maid who was in charge of serving the drinks just now also had it, but the smell was very faint, it should have been sticky, and she didn't leave now, in the maids' lounge behind. ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone. ”

Su Wen and Ellie fell silent at the same time, but Su Wen was the only one who was thinking.

"You say...... Could it be that the murderer has already run away, and the elite assassins of the Black Rope Society or something......" Barot suddenly interjected, and the two immediately turned their heads to stare at Balott, making Barot add with a weak heart, "When I didn't say it." ”

However, this sentence was overshadowed by the sound of music in the hall. Not only the music, but even the lights began to gradually converge towards the center of the dance floor, and some young people also looked at the three people from time to time, as if waiting to gather enough courage to invite Ballot to dance. The maids who were on standby in the inconspicuous corners also looked at the young men and women on the dance floor with envy.

"So, let me make sure. ”
