Chapter 36: Killing in the Dark (2)
Shen Zhiren initially thought that Cuban Yang was cursing himself, so he was so angry that he slapped the table and left on the spot.
I thought it was just a small episode, but I didn't expect that half a year later, Shen Ru fell down the stairs and broke his neck.
Shen Zhiren instantly thought of Gu Gu Yang's words, and only felt that he didn't listen to her at the beginning, if he had listened to Gu Gu Yang's prediction, none of this would have happened, it was his own sin.
In the face of Cubanyang's sudden death, Shen Zhiren had no other thoughts, and resolutely did not investigate the needle hole in the neck of the deceased, wholeheartedly believing that the spirit medium was eaten by evil spirits in the process of conjuring spirits.
Shen Zhiren couldn't ask anything at all, just a superstitious old man who missed his beloved daughter.
The next one is Luo Xin's turn, as the assistant of the psychic medium Cubanyang, he has been by her side since before the Cuban Yang fire.
Not so much an assistant as an indispensable right hand of the medium.
"Mr. Xie said that the so-called rituals are all tricks, do you recognize this?" Li Dongliao asked.
Luo Xin lowered his eyes and nodded: "The teacher can't see ghosts at all, and he doesn't have the ability to summon spirits." ”
Through Luo Xin's self-report, everyone knew that this Cuban Yang was a female worker in a garment factory before it became popular.
I can read some face and palm reading, I don't know much but I can fool people, and then I embarked on the road of a spiritual medium by chance.
Luo Xin hurriedly defended himself: "The teacher has always been very good to me, and I have no reason to kill the teacher!" ”
"Dissatisfied with being under people forever, Cuban Yang is very popular, as long as her signboard is erected, your name will not be known by others, and this can already constitute a motive." Li Dongliao wrote and scratched in his notebook, "There are many such cases. ”
"No, I don't have that in mind." Luo Xin continued, "If I hadn't met the teacher, then I would be a stinky person on the street, sleeping in a bridge hole in winter, and freezing to death one day." ”
"But as far as I know, Cuban Yan's psychic fees are as high as millions, and even then she often owes you your wages and deducts your salary, are you still grateful to her?"
Speaking of this, Luo Xin's eyes showed grievances: "Before every new ceremony starts, we need to buy props, and the teacher has to use this money to get through the fame of the upper class...... I can understand these ......."
"What were you doing when the light bulb exploded? You should know it's not part of the show, but you're just like the other guests waiting there and not responding, how do you explain that? ”
"Teachers sometimes come up with unexpected surprises on a whim, and I'm used to it a few times."
When he said this, Luo Xin subconsciously pushed the glasses that slipped off the bridge of his nose.
Only then did she notice that Mr. Luo was also wearing glasses, but how did she remember......
"Beya." Tan Wan asked softly, "Did Mr. Luo also bring glasses yesterday?" Do you have any impressions? ”
"Didn't you?" Han Beiya has a good memory and basically can't be mistaken.
Just as Li Dongliao was about to continue questioning, Tan Wan suddenly interjected and asked, "How many degrees do Mr. Luo's glasses have?" ”
Interrupted by a sudden question, not only Luo Xin looked at Tan Wan in surprise, but even Li Dongliao looked at her, with an inexplicable expression as if asking: What does this have to do with the case? ?
Luo Xin glanced at Li Dongliao for some reason, and only when he got an approved response did he reply to Tan Wan's words: "Probably...... About 800 degrees, with 150 degrees of astigmatism. ”
Tan Wan didn't talk anymore, and stared at Luo Xin's glasses with a serious face.
Han Beiya noticed Tan Wan's abnormal expression, so she lowered her voice and asked in her ear: "Wanwan, your expression is so serious, did Mr. Luo say something wrong?" ”
"The thickness of the glasses equipped in the optical store will increase with the increase of power, if Luo Xin's eye power is really 800 degrees, then the width of his glasses should be at least about 5-7cm, but the thickness of the glasses he brought is far from it."
"What does it matter?" Han Beiya didn't understand the meaning of Tan Wan's words.
"When Officer Li was searching for evidence in various rooms just now, he found purple potion from Luo Xin's bag, do you remember?"
"Remember, a small bottle of potassium permanganate solution." Han Beiya disagreed, "It should be used for props to sanitize, right?" ”
"But potassium permanganate has another role." Tan Wan's eyes stared at Luo Xin from beginning to end, and he lowered his voice and said, "Rinse the lenses with purple potion, and then wipe the lenses with the cloth of leather wipes, and ordinary glasses will have the effect of night vision." ”
"Night vision, it's so powerful!" Han Beiya's eyes looked at Tan Wan at this moment as if he saw a god, "If that's the case, wouldn't Mr. Luo be able to see everything around him clearly in the dark night, do you think he ......?"
Han Beiya glanced around with small eyes, and after confirming that no one was looking at them, he said sneakily.
"Late night, do you think...... Is it possible for Luo Xin to kill Miss Gu? ”
"Not sure yet." It's just a guess, but if his glasses do have this effect, maybe ......
At this moment, there was a scream from the back kitchen and the sound of plates falling to the ground and shattering.
Everyone followed the sound and ran to the back kitchen, only to see a maid pointing to the corner with a disgraced face: "Berry biscuits...... Cookies are poisonous! ”
She thought that the interrogation might not be over for a while, for fear that the old man and the guests would be hungry, so she didn't finish the biscuits for the guests after the meal in the morning, and thought about bringing some more for everyone to pad their hunger.
But when I came to the back kitchen, I happened to bump into a mouse eating the biscuits on the plate on the table, and the whole biscuit was eaten by the mouse.
Just as she picked up the mop and was about to fight, she saw the mouse suddenly stop moving, foaming at the mouth and falling from the table to the ground, kicking his hind legs twice in pain and whimpering for his life.
"The rat ate the berry crackers on the table and died." Han Beiya was thinking in her heart, and suddenly exclaimed, "This, this berry biscuit is poisonous!" ”
Shen Zhiren hurried over, and also heard Han Beiya's words: "This, how can this be poisonous, the food and desserts for the past two days are all freshly made by my maid." ”
"True and false are poisonous, you can know when you check it."
Li Dongliao took out the poison test paper he carried with him, then crushed the biscuits and mixed them into the same proportion of water, and stirred them evenly.
Then place the reagent paper in the water for more than five seconds, then lay flat on the table and wait for the results.
Sure enough, the color of the reagent paper changed, showing that the liquid contained toxins.
When everyone saw the result, they exploded, and everyone was terrified at the thought that they might have eaten poisonous food.
