0160 Chapter Detective Agula
"Wow!"
After hearing what Siana said, the remaining nobles were all out of breath, with dissatisfaction on their faces, which was disguisedly suspicious of them.
"Miss Siyana, please give us a reasonable explanation. Are you doubting us?"
"This is unfair! Please let us go. If the murderer is really in this mansion, we will still be in danger. I will not take such a risk!"
"I suggest notifying the guards and let them handle this!"
The nobles expressed their opinions and were very dissatisfied with Siana's detention in the mansion. After all, as Siana said, if the murderer was still in the mansion, then they were still facing danger and did not know who the next target would be.
"No one is allowed to leave. Please stay here before finding out the truth of the matter!" Siana ignored the complaints of the nobles and said very strongly.
It is impossible for Siana to notify the guards. If they were asked to intervene in the investigation, the entire Astria City would soon know about this matter. It would be fine if the real murderer could be found in a short period of time. If the real murderer was not found, the Rensat family would be responsible for the blame.
Standing there, Siana fell into deep thought. Unlike her previous arrogant and unreasonable appearance, she now has a more calm and composed attitude.
"Hmm? Hey, what do you want to do?" Just as Siana was thinking about how to find out the real murderer, she saw Lu Haocang slowly walking to the side of the deceased - Peter, looking like she was examining the body.
Lu Haocang did not reply, but watched the dead body seriously, wanting to obtain information from it.
"Don't move the corpse casually. You know, you are also suspicious!" Xiyana frowned slightly, came to Lu Haocang's side, and warned.
"If you want to be suspicious, just like you said, everyone in the entire mansion has suspicion, including you." Lu Haocang replied indifferently without looking at Xi Yana.
Siana was stunned by Lu Haocang's words, then reacted and said coldly: "It's simply nonsense. I have no motivation to kill this guy. Moreover, I killed a nobleman in our Rensat's family. No matter how you look at it, it has a huge negative impact on our entire family!"
"Things of the world are unpredictable." Lu Haocang replied lightly for a while, then continued to check Peter's body.
"You!" Siana was so angry that she stamped her feet when she saw Lu Haocang ignoring her. She had never met such a man before, and she was a civilian adventurer with the status of a distinguished guest of the Yitvallan family.
In normal times, the men Siana met were surrounded by flies. If it were not for the noble etiquette, she would not be able to help but slap them away with a slap.
Because of this reason, Siana knew her appearance advantages, so she felt more or less an inexplicable sense of superiority.
When you meet a man who is completely uninterested in you, it will be a little more important. Human psychology is so wonderful and complex (not bad).
"Just from the outside, he died of poisoning. As for what kind of poison it is, it is not clear yet." Lu Haocang ignored Xi Yana, but continued to inspect the body, and then came to a preliminary conclusion.
From Peter's death, it can be judged that his lips were already purple, and the foam he vomited was definitely killed by poisoning.
Although I don’t know what poison you were infected with, the toxicity is still relatively fierce and has a certain incubation period. It takes about 30 seconds to be released until the poison is killed, leaving no extra time for detoxification.
"Of course I also know that he was poisoned, so how did he get poisoned, and when did he?" Xiyana snorted dissatisfiedly. She just didn't want to lose to Lu Haocang in terms of momentum, and said stubbornly.
Lu Haocang flipped through the corpse, checked it carefully, and said, "There are no obvious wounds on the corpse. Basically, it can be ruled out that the poison can be released by concealed weapons or external force..."
"Then the rest may be eating poisonous substances." Lu Haocang analyzed.
"What? Eat a poisonous thing? Do you mean Chef Benjamin poisoning the food?" Siana said in disbelief.
The other nobles were also shocked and subconsciously distanced themselves from Benjamin.
Benjamin was very calm and looked at Lu Haocang, believing that the latter must have something to say.
Lu Hao glanced at Siyana and said, "Benjamin is my apprentice. I believe he will not be bored to poison a nobleman he doesn't know at all, and..."
"Because it is food poisoning, everyone will doubt Benjamin's head. Doing this is also a kind of trumpet. If I believe it, I will doubt whether this person's IQ is online."
Lu Haocang said this, and the nobles who had originally begun to doubt Benjamin suddenly realized, smiled awkwardly, saying that they did not doubt Benjamin.
Siana couldn't speak for a moment, Lu Haocang's words made sense, and Benjamin had no motivation to poison Peter.
"We have all eaten the cooking on the table, and he is the only one who died of poisoning, so we can rule out the possibility of poisoning these dishes." Lu Haocang continued to analyze.
Because the nobles present basically ate the same dish at different tables, and they were fine, but Peter was poisoned to death. Then it can be ruled out that the option of being poisonous in the dish made by Benjamin.
"Then, what other things did he eat..." Siana fell into thinking, then a sudden expression appeared on her face, turned to something far away, and said in surprise, "Is it it?"
What Siana looked at was another "protagonist", a must-have birthday cake for birthday parties.
The huge three-layer birthday cake was neglected because of Lu Haocang's appearance. After knowing the latter's identity, the nobles' thoughts were no longer at Xi'an's birthday party, so the birthday cake was perfectly ignored by Xi'an and placed intact intact.
Everyone's eyes turned to the birthday cake, and the sharp-eyed Holt was the first to scream: "Hey! Look, there is a corner missing there, it seems that someone had stolen it!"
There was indeed a piece missing in that huge cake. I'm afraid that this Peter ate it secretly.
"Someone poisoned the cake?" Siana spoke in surprise and immediately turned to her father, Viscount Bod, and asked, "Father, where did you buy this cake?"
"Ah? Oh! That's it, it's the very famous pastry shop in the city. I customized it half a month ago!" Viscount Bode replied truthfully.
"Don't guess if it was the poison that was deposited by this pastry shop. This should have been deposited later." Lu Haocang walked to the cake and said while observing.
