Chapter 31: Unable to Resist

Amy is dead.

Poisoned.

The housekeeper who arrived immediately confirmed this, and at the same time, brought bad news:

"Ritual didn't work on Bitos, Raul."

"Their souls completely dissipated with death, seven days faster than normal."

The butler said so.

Jason did not evade under Gerald's signal.

The banquet hall, which had been lively just a moment ago, now only had Gerald, Jason, and Denise, as well as their personal attendants.

Gerald frowned.

If the two murders had not been taken into account before, the emergence of the third one has raised the vigilance of the head of the Hans harbour.

In particular, the failure of the ceremony made Gerald feel a sense of danger.

"Go line up to protect our mother's motorcade."

Jason's aunt will return from the manor outside the harbour in the evening to attend the wedding tomorrow in person. At this time, it should be approaching Hans harbour.

"Yes, my lord."

The butler bowed immediately.

Just as the butler arranged for the attendants to go, Gerald spoke again.

"and many more."

"Another line of people to go to the embassy."

Gerald ordered.

Although he did not like the daughter of the Archduke 'Yanbao', it did not mean that he would let the other party have an accident in Hans Seaport.

The two teams of attendants left the mansion one after another.

The butler again arranged for the ceremony and began to question the waiters, cooks and relatives.

Jason is not included here,

He walked around the table.

Before that, Jason had carefully examined Amy's body.

Unlike Bitos and Raul, who have a faint food scent, Amy has no food scent on her body!

"Didn't the same person start?"

"Or……"

"Using a different method?"

Unlike Bitos and Raul, Amy was murdered in public.

The former is more secretive and uses more means.

And the latter?

More sophisticated planning is required.

So precise that the other party can confirm that Amy will be the first to eat the roast leg of lamb!

This is not an easy thing to do.

After all, Amy was fighting Denise.

He could see clearly before that Amy had been staring at Denise.

That is to say, what Denise chooses, Amy will choose.

And want to confirm what Denise chooses, it seems...

Subconsciously, Jason turned his head and looked at Denise, who was standing on the side of the table, looking left and right, quietly reaching out, tearing a piece of roast lamb shank and stuffing it directly into his mouth.

Well, it's not difficult.

Very good confirmation.

As for poison?

Have you ever seen a dead person afraid of poison?

Seeing the eyes light up,

Denise, who wanted to tear another leg of lamb, Jason grabbed the back of the other's neck.

"This is one of the evidences."

Jason said.

"That's food too."

Denise retorted.

However, instead of touching the lamb shank, he looked at the crispy roasted suckling pig on one side, ran over to pick up the whole crispy suckling pig, opened his mouth to think about the position of the lower mouth, and finally locked it. The protruding position of the pig's nose.

Looking at Denise who was enjoying herself.

It's hard for Jason to imagine that it was so obsessed with that roast leg of lamb just not so long ago.

Um?

Jason froze suddenly.

With Denise's character, she will not be interested in a thing for no reason.

The roast lamb leg is delicious, but the crispy roast suckling pig is not inferior.

Denise is very likely to hesitate between the two.

Instead of going straight to the roast leg of lamb!

Does anyone have a hint in advance?

Jason thought silently.

"Denise, did someone tell you about roast leg of lamb ahead of time?"

Jason asked.

"Yes, I have!"

"On my way to the beach in the afternoon, I heard the waiters talking about the special recipe for today's roast lamb shank, which is fragrant when marinated, crispy and juicy when roasted... …”

Listening to Denise's description, Jason looked at the still warm roast leg of lamb and gulped secretly.

no!

you can't eat it!

You can only resist weak, secondary toxicity in food, and it is impossible to resist this deadly toxicity!

Jason warned himself in his heart.

Can,

Still involuntarily raised his hand.

The wriggling stomach made Jason's brain quickly lose his mind.

Just talking about toxicity, not about measurement, is a hooligan!

I have digestive organs that can resist weak and secondary poisons, so there should be no problem at all times, right?

Jason thought, his fingers lightly touching the roast leg of lamb.

Grease and sauce immediately smeared fingertips.

Jason put his fingers in his mouth.

The sauce was slightly sweet, and there was no mutton smell in the fat, instead it was full of mutton umami, um... His mouth was a little numb, but Jason quickly woke up.

Then, he saw Denise looking at him strangely.

It seems to see the same kind.

Jason felt a sense of humiliation.

"I'm investigating."

Jason emphasized.

Denise looked at Jason suspiciously.

"This deadly toxin should be rare."

"According to where it grows and where it circulates, it can effectively help us target suspects."

"Even, directly catch the culprit."

Jason explained seriously.

"is that so?"

Denise was still a little unconvinced, it always felt that Jason was guilty at this time.

"That's it!"

"Jason is right!"

"This toxin comes from burning irises, a very rare species of flower, found in only one place!"

Gerald came over and agreed with Jason's words.

"Where?"

Denise's attention was immediately drawn.

"Swallow Castle!"

Gerald said in a low voice.

"Swallow Castle?"

Denise blinked.

It sounded a little familiar, but couldn't remember where.

Then, looking down at the crispy suckling pig with half left in his hand, he thought.

"It's Gerald's fiancee's territory!"

"Yes!"

Gerald nodded, then asked Jason directly, "Jason, would you like to go to the embassy with me?"

Anger and rejoicing appeared in the eyes of the master of Hans Harbour.

Jason knew very well what was the reason for such anger and happiness.

The anger comes from the murderer's successive killings.

Happy?

Naturally, it is possible to dissolve the engagement through this incident.

Jason, who follows in the footsteps of the main mission, naturally doesn't want to miss anything or fail the mission.

So, very simply nodded.

"I'll go as well!"

Denise immediately raised her hand when she saw Jason was going.

"Arrange the carriage."

Gerald naturally would not object, and immediately ordered.

A few minutes later, a carriage followed by a group of guards quickly drove towards the embassy area of ​​Hans Harbour.

Unlike the dock area and commercial street, which are connected together, the embassy area is independent. From Dren Street to the embassy area, you need to pass through at least two commercial streets and a residential area.

And just as the carriage had just driven out of the residential area and approached the embassy, ​​Jason's nose couldn't help twitching, and he could smell the aroma of the food!

Rich!

And, familiar!
