smell
Susie, who smelled the smell, also ran down from upstairs. As for Audrey, she was getting dressed up with the help of several maids.
After knowing that Hibbert was okay, Hastur began to think about this incident again and the changes it would cause.
"Wang?"
Susie saw his troubles and seemed to want to help.
Hasta thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe you can really help me this time."
"Wang!"
"Susie, you look happy?"
Beautifully and exquisitely dressed, Audrey came down the stairs from the second floor with a bright smile on her face.
……
In an office on the second floor of Mrs. Vinson's cake shop in Qiao Wood District, on the right, Leonard, who had been anxious all night, received another case not long after he came to the office.
He opened it and saw that this case was related to him. No wonder it was sent to him beyond the Nighthawks.
Food poisoning incident at charity gala?
Leonard was stunned for a while after reading the content. He had eaten a lot of food last night, but he didn't feel anything, let alone being poisoned.
And this is a charity party hosted by Hastur. Can he let others pour dirty water on his head?
After just thinking for a moment, Leonard placed the case on the table, with his feet on the table and his body leaning back slightly.
I believe Hastur will find out this case on his own, so there is no need for him to worry.
"Sometimes the old man seems to have noticed something."
Thinking of this, Leonard shouted a few words in his heart, and after a while, the old man's voice came out.
"Poisoning is not impossible."
"???" Leonard became interested, "Old man, you can't just say half of what you said."
"wind."
After the old man left these words, he fell completely silent. No matter how much Leonard scratched his head, he could never get any more response.
Wind...the poison hidden in the wind?
But I also smelled it, so why didn’t anything happen?
Also, who is behind this matter? It’s really courageous to dare to offend someone like Hastur.
At night, Leonard received the latest information from the Nighthawks.
Intelligence pointed out that this incident was indeed poisoning.
This was a judgment made personally by a bishop from the Mother Earth Church after examining many patients.
According to the bishop, there are many seemingly non-toxic medicinal powders that can induce corresponding symptoms once they enter the human body.
Making a medicinal powder that can cause diarrhea is a very simple matter for a qualified pharmacist.
As for how to poison, it can be spread through alcohol, food, or through the air.
Is it that simple?
Leonard was speechless after reading the report. He thought he could dig out something deeper, but he didn't expect that it was just a simple poisoning case, and it was only diarrhea, and no lives were caused.
Perhaps it is precisely because this is not a highly poisonous thing that people are unsuspecting.
It seems that the purpose of the people behind the scenes is very clear. This is to demonstrate against Hastur.
……
At the gate of Graylingt's villa, Graylingt was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Hastur, Audrey and Susie visiting, but he soon warmly welcomed Hastur and Audrey in.
"Wang."
Su
Xi suddenly barked at Greylint, as if she was locking onto a criminal suspect.
Hastur and Audrey also looked at Gray Lint with strange eyes.
"Did something happen?" Gray Linte was a little overwhelmed by such a look.
Hastur looked at him for a while and said seriously: "We are looking for the suspect."
"crime suspect??"
Gray Linte had a question mark on his forehead, was he a suspect?
"You heard right, you are the suspect we are looking for." Audrey also cooperated with a straight face.
"Woof!" Susie also cooperated.
"No, no, Hastur, Miss Audrey, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
Seeing the troubled and confused look on Gray Lint's face, Hastur said slowly: "Have you lost two male servants in your family recently?"
"I don't know. These matters are handled by the housekeeper at home."
Gray Lint led Hastur, Audrey, and Susie into the door, and at the same time asked the housekeeper to call for questioning.
"It is true that the two servants responsible for pruning and gardening have not shown up today." Gray Linte's housekeeper responded cooperatively.
"Where were the two of them last night?"
"Their work usually ends before six o'clock in the evening. They also showed up to have dinner together last night. As for later things, I didn't pay attention to them all the time."
Hastur asked a few more questions, then asked the butler to leave first, and then followed Gray Lint to the study.
At this time, Gray Lint could no longer suppress his curiosity, "Hasta, you are so mysterious tonight that it almost confuses me."
Hastur just smiled and asked: "Have you developed a medicinal powder that can make people have diarrhea?"
"There seems to be such a medicine." Gray Lint said uncertainly: "You know, I have always been obsessed with various researches. Sometimes I forget about it when I am busy."
After hearing this, Hastur was basically sure that Gray Lint really didn't know anything about the situation.
"Hasta, you're not really going to interrogate me as a prisoner, are you?" Gray Linte became a little anxious, "Since I came back from your place last night, I didn't even go out the door all day today."
Hastur waved to him to calm down, and then patiently told him what happened today.
When he saw Susie today, Hastur thought of a feasible investigation method.
Since no useful clues can be found through occult means, then normal channels should be used to solve the problem.
Susie, a good hunting dog and a future fantasy dog, has a very sensitive nose.
The bodies of the two people last night were still there, so he asked Susie to help smell them, and then followed the scent left by their activities all the way to Gray Lint.
Coupled with the latest information coming back, and Gray Linte himself being a pharmacist, the matter has basically come to light at this point.
The two people who secretly poured kerosene last night were the servants of Graylingt's house. They also stole the medicine developed by Graylingt and spread the powder in the air.
When the wind blows, it blows these colorless and odorless tiny dusts to the party area in front, causing people close to the garden to suffer from diarrhea.
Apart from the invisible hands, that's all that happened.
As for why the other party chose Gray Lint, the reason was very simple. He had a good relationship with Gray Lint.
Moreover, the other party doesn't care at all whether he or she can find out the truth. He or she just uses this matter to lose his or her face in the aristocratic circle.
To be more precise, this is a demonstration to oneself.
Chapter 470 Detective Audrey
"..."
Gray Lint listened to Hasta's explanation of what happened with a confused look on his face. After a while, he hurriedly said: "Hasta, Miss Audrey, you must believe me, I really don't know. It’s even more impossible to send someone to do this kind of thing.”
"Woof." Susie emphasized her presence.
"Oh, and Susie, Susie, you also have to believe me. How could I do such a thing? Right?"
Susie just wagged her tail and didn't answer.
Gray Linte had no choice but to look at Hastur and Audrey, with their aggrieved expressions, it was written on his forehead that he had been wronged.
"Graylint, of course I believe you." Hasta smiled and said: "But the police will probably come to question you in the next few days, so you should try to stay at home and not go out."
"...Okay." Gray Lint sighed deeply.
After leaving Gray Lint's villa, Hastur and Audrey got into a black four-wheel carriage, and Susie lay quietly at Audrey's feet.
As the carriage moved forward slowly, Audrey's eyes flashed with worry, "Mr. Hastur, the other party is obviously targeting you. You should be more careful."
"I will pay attention. You and Susie are the same. You must pay attention to safety. When you are really in danger, remember to ask me for help."
Audrey nodded and asked curiously: "Mr. Hastur, what are you going to do next?"
"Don't pay attention, just pretend this never happened."
Audrey's eyes showed great confusion.
"When the police judge a case, they usually analyze the prisoner's psychological activities when he does bad things. You can try it too."
Audrey pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Performing personality?"
"Absolutely. As expected of Miss Audrey, who is good at psychology."
Hasta smiled and gave Audrey an affirmative look for her answer.
With Hasta's affirmation, Audrey was more confident to analyze, "He has made such a big circle. In addition to provocation and demonstration, he also has a mentality of wanting to see you nervous, flustered, and overwhelmed. .”
"Hmm...like a spider opening its web and getting ready to hunt."
"He weaved a net, watched the prey fall into the net, and then slowly admired the expression of the prey struggling in despair, and finally swung the scythe to end the prey's life."
Audrey spoke with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, "If Mr. Hastur keeps ignoring him, he will definitely make some noise again to attract Mr. Hastur's attention, which will make it easier to catch him. .”
"A well-prepared stage will definitely be very boring if he is the only one dancing solo on it."
"He should be very proud and confident in his own wisdom and methods."
"He feels that he is a god and can easily arrange the fate of others and let others follow the stories he writes."
