The gentleman hesitated, but agreed to the commission, and briefly told Abner what had happened.

His name was Sean Scudder, and he was originally the manager of a maritime trading firm, but in the past year, due to a series of bad luck and a strange illness in his son, this gentleman has lost his job, almost exhausted his savings, and even sold his ancestral property.

This time I took a boat to Beckland to find a better doctor to see their son Aaron. Not long after he set off, Aaron's condition suddenly deteriorated.

When the Skadders were helpless about this, the man who had just shouted came forward and said that he was a very capable pharmacist, and that if he was willing to pay 10 pounds, he would concoct a potion to make Arlen recover.

Mr. Scudder at first thought the man was a liar, but seeing that his son seemed to be in agony no longer holding on, he finally took out the last of his savings and asked the man to make a potion.

The decoction worked at first, and not long after Alun drank it, he didn't feel any more pain, and even fell into a rare sleep.

However, it was not long before Mrs. Scudder, who had been left in the cabin to take care of Aaron, went to the bathroom, and Aaron became pale and had difficulty breathing, and before Mrs. Scudder, who had hurried back, called her husband, she stopped breathing completely.

When Abner heard this, he glanced at the fat pharmacist who was still screaming and shouting about wrongs, and thought to himself: just listening to Mr. Scudder's description, this man really looks like a swindler who sells counterfeit drugs and overturns...... Through my observation and analysis, the grievances on this person's face do not look fake. And although he made a lot of trouble, he was not so frightened, obviously with a clear conscience or a certain way to get out.

"Can I go and see the scene of Aaron's death?" Abner thought for a moment and then asked Mr. Scudder.

"I'm afraid this requires the consent of Mr. Captain......," said Mr. Scudder, with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'm good at 'convincing' people to agree with me." Abner smiled.

has been with Hugh for so long, and the majesty of her "arbiter" has naturally been analyzed and imitated successfully by the "Pure White Eye", although the effect is not as good as Hugh's personal use, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people.

Sure enough, under the influence of Abner's convincing charm and sufficient majesty, the captain, Mr. Matt, "happily" agreed to his request and took them to the cabin where little Aaron was.

Entering the cabin, Abner carefully observed the little boy about ten years old on the bed who was holding his neck with both hands, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and did not miss a clue.

This looks more like suffocation than drug poisoning? However, some drugs can also cause asphyxiation, but it is not certain whether they are or not.

Thinking of this, Abner quietly used breath extraction as if he was investigating and collecting evidence in the room, extracting a copy of the different remaining breaths in the room, and then analyzing them separately to see if there was any extraordinary power involved.

The breath of the little boy himself...... The scent of the Skadders...... The breath of a certain seafarer...... The smell of some kind of nut crumbs...... This is medicine...... Hey?

It soon occurred to him that the bowl that held the medicine prepared by the pharmacist had traces of extraordinary erosion.

Is there really one? Abner was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he had only intervened in a murder case that involved the extraordinary, he glanced at the fat pharmacist who was guarded by the security guards outside the door, and analyzed the residual extraordinary aura.

This drug...... It does have the effect of analgesia and elimination of human lesions. It seems that the fat pharmacist is really a "pharmacist"! However, the child's death should really have nothing to do with him......

Abner thought this in his heart and used the "scene backtracking" ability at the same time, and then saw that the boy named Aaron had obviously faded in pain after taking the medicine, and then probably because he had consumed too much physical strength, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Later, another scene is presented, Mrs. Scudder, who is taking care of her son, goes to the bathroom, and the little boy Aaron opens his eyes, takes out a nut from his pocket that seems to have been treasured for a long time, and puts it in his mouth, but unfortunately it is at this moment that the passenger ship jolts violently. Aaron was caught off guard by the nut stuck in his trachea, he choked hard, beat his throat with his hand, and tried to cough the nut out, but unfortunately it didn't work, and finally suffocated to death......

At the end of the retrospection, Abner was a little speechless. It turned out that after a long time, this Alun was stuck by such a small nut? Hey, I don't know if he's too unlucky, or if the fat pharmacist is even more unlucky.

However, he soon had a new thought: Could it be too much of a coincidence? And I always felt like there was something else I was overlooking here.

Abner went over the list of clues again, but still found nothing.

He thought about it, and to be on the safe side, he opened the "Pure White Eye" again.

This time, Abner faintly spotted a wisp of vague breath on the tip of the little boy Aaron's right finger. That's something he hadn't extracted when he had been extracting his breath before.

This breath doesn't give me the feeling of high personality, but the sense of presence is so weak...... Is this a remnant of the extraordinary way of natural restraint in the ability to detect or divination?

Abner frowned, parsing the slight breaths in the "Pure White Eye" state, and then used "Scene Backtrack" again.

The picture slowly unfolds, and the little boy Aaron is playing with a simple gold coin in his hand, but the illness soon makes him lose interest, and he subconsciously rubs the surface of the gold coin with his fingers, wiping a black and red stain off.

As soon as the picture turned, the little boy got on the boat, and soon the illness attacked, and just when he felt that he couldn't hold on, a fat pharmacist came to the door and prescribed him a side medicine. The medicine worked very well, and the pain that had not stopped for nearly a year was miraculously gone, and Aaron, who had not slept well for a long time, immediately fell asleep with ease.

The picture turns again, after Aaron was stuck in death for eating nuts, a drop of blood oozing from his mouth and nose happened to drip on the gold coin that slipped out of the little boy's pocket at some point, forming a blood stain again.

At the end of the retrospection, Abner had a general idea of the incident, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The 'VIP' version of the scene retrospective is really very different from my own 'civilian experience' version."

But how did the little boy Aaron get the gold coin?

Abner first simulated a trick, and while pretending to probe the traces on Aaron's body, he unwittingly put the inconspicuous gold coin that had fallen on the edge of the bed into his pocket.

Since he had already analyzed its function with the "Pure White Eye", and knew that the gold coin would have no negative effects under normal circumstances, Abner dared to get his hands on it directly.

Then he walked back to Mr. Scudder's side, and after considering his tone, he said, "Sir, I have something to ask you. ”

Mr. Scudder, who had been staring at Abner's movements, hurriedly replied, "If you have any questions, just ask!" Did you find any clues? ”

"I've made some discoveries......," Abner nodded, opened the "Pure White Eye" to simulate Hugh's "majesty", and asked, "I wish you could tell me if something bad has happened to your family lately?" What are they? Since when? ”

"How do you know?!" Mr. Scudder's reaction was extremely violent, and he himself immediately noticed this, and hurriedly took a few deep breaths, and asked rhetorically, "What does this have to do with Aaron's death?" ”

I don't want to say this from the bottom of my heart...... And this unwanted will actually resisted the skills I simulated......

Abner frowned to himself, changed his strategy in a flash, and said, "Don't get excited, Mr. Scudder. I did make a discovery, but I needed a witness from Mr. Captain and other gentlemen on board. ”

After saying that, he asked the captain of the ship, Mr. Matt, who was also in the cabin, if he could find one or two authoritative gentlemen, who immediately understood, and personally went to the first class to invite Mr. Mike Joseph, a journalist of the Daily Observer, and Mr. Caron, a shareholder of the Bakerland Coim Company.

Since the "Matt" was not a luxurious passenger ship, even if it was a first-class cabin, it was not really a gentleman of the big aristocratic and big merchant class. These two are already very decent and weighty gentlemen.

The Daily Observer's Mike Joseph? Isn't this the journalist Sherlock will meet at the Kragg club in the future? I actually ran into it here.

And the other Caron, I also knew, was that he bought the Deere family's abandoned manor on the outskirts of the North End, and Hugh and I were hiding in the storage room at the time to eavesdrop on his whole process of buying the house.

Abner quietly looked at the two gentlemen who had come to the hearing, the former was nearly thirty years old, with sparse eyebrows, rather rough skin, and unusually pronounced pores. However, his facial features are not bad, his blue eyes are particularly charming, and with two beautiful mustaches, he has a bit of mature charm.

The latter, on the other hand, was in his fifties, quite tall, slightly fat, and his shoulders were broad and high, as if he was going to bow down. He wears a typical rune-style formal attire and tie, and looks like an elite businessman.

After the two and Abner introduced each other, Abner turned back to the topic, first telling everyone about the difference between drug poisoning and death by suffocation, and then digging out nut crumbs from Aaron's pocket in full view, then he picked up the little boy's body, adjusted his strength, and slapped it on the back, and the nut that had killed Aaron finally fell out of his trachea, flew out of his mouth, and fell in front of everyone's eyes.

Because of the peeling of the nuts, the little boy Aaron's bruised and puffy face seemed to have recovered a little, but he had been dead for so long that even if his trachea was clear, it would not save his life.

"It's ...... We bought it for Arun the day before we got on the boat! He had hidden a ...... that he hadn't eaten," exclaimed Mr. Scudder.

Abner then turned back to Mrs. Scudder and asked, "Do you remember what time you went to the bathroom?" ”

"Remember...... At 10 a.m., I was only in the bathroom for 5 minutes. Mrs. Scudder came back to her senses and replied calmly.

Captain Matt also slapped his face at this time, and said, "There was a big wave at ten o'clock, and I remember shaking it so badly......

Everyone present was a little stunned when they heard this, and then glanced at Aaron on the bed with pity, and felt that he was really unlucky.

At this time, a sneering muttering voice suddenly sounded: "I just said that it has nothing to do with me, it is you who have been too unlucky all along, and now it seems that I am right!" ”

Everyone in the room frowned when they heard the sound, thinking that it was too much to say and disrespectful to the deceased, so they followed the reputation, only to find that it was the pharmacist who was suspected of being a suspect who spoke, and they were relieved.

was almost wronged, and naturally felt unhappy, but the cultivation was too low. That's what most people think.

Only Abner glanced thoughtfully at the pharmacist, and said in his heart:

It was more of a reminder to the Skader couple than a mockery...... This way of speaking is still a "pharmacist......

He can't be the Duckwell of the School of Life, right?
