Gu Chen frowned and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I understand."

"What do you know?" Lu Weiwei was confused and felt that her thoughts seemed to be slower than Gu Chen's.

Gu Chen turned around and said to Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, don't look at the arrangement of this sugar pot, there is actually another mystery."

"The coffee brewer, Liu, has already placed the only four sugar pots in the office in their respective positions before he has finished brewing the coffee."

"And the place where Xia He and Xiao Ling are sitting is relatively in the corner. Old Liu specially placed one of the sugar pots on Xia He's table."

"Then if Xiao Ling wants to drink coffee, she will definitely take the sugar pot on Xia He's table, because she can't abandon the near and far away, and her relationship with other people is not necessarily good."

Lu Weiwei immediately laughed: "So it seems that there must be something wrong with this sugar pot, right?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Absolutely, and as for the sugar pot in my hand, it must have been after the incident that Xia He quietly put the sugar pot back when everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Ling.

On the closet."

"That's right." Fat Xiaofang on the side also said quickly: "Our sugar pots are all on the table. Only this sugar pot is placed far away. Isn't it Sister Xia He who put it there?"

"Then...then what are you waiting for? Why don't you bring it over for inspection?" Officer Wang couldn't wait any longer and quickly took the sugar pot from Gu Chen's hand.

He came to a free table, tore off a note on the desk, and then slowly poured the contents of the sugar pot onto it.

But after pouring it out, Officer Wang felt more and more that something was wrong.

After picking up the particles on the paper and observing them, he was shocked to find that the particles on the paper were not sugar.

"Is...is it salt?" Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen in shock and said, "Gu Chen, this sugar pot is actually full of salt."

"Ah? Let me take a look." Lu Weiwei also seemed to be interested and quickly bent down to observe.

After repeated confirmations, Lu Weiwei said: "Yes, it is indeed salt, but is this salt poisonous?"

"No." Gu Chen suddenly smiled, as if this was exactly what he had guessed.

Seeing Gu Chen's indifferent expression, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother Gu, you mean...salt is not poisonous?"

"Salt is of course not poisonous." Gu Chen walked to the two of them, raised the sugar pot in front of his eyes, observed it carefully and said: "If the salt in this sugar pot is poisonous, then why is Xia He fine, and Xiao Ling

Is there something wrong?"

"Furthermore, if the murderer's purpose is just to get rid of Xiao Ling, then there should be no need for the murderer to hurt innocent people."

"Because the sugar pot is placed here, anyone can take it and pour it into the coffee. In this case, wouldn't a large number of people be poisoned? I don't think the murderer would do this."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and couldn't help but said: "Junior brother Gu is absolutely right. If the murderer only wanted to get rid of Xiao Ling, then the murderer would definitely not harm others."

"This can be seen from the fact that Xiao Ling was the only one in the office who was poisoned, but...how could there be salt in this sugar pot?"

Gu Chen crossed his arms and said calmly: "You can also put salt in coffee, but... very few people drink it this way."

He looked at Gong Xiaoya and Fat Xiaofang and asked them, "I want to know, did you put sugar in the sugar pot before, or did you put salt in the pot?"

"It's all...it's all sugar. No one in our office drinks coffee with salt," Gong Xiaoya said.

"Is it possible that someone suddenly wants to drink salty coffee?" Gu Chen asked again.

Fat Xiaofang also quickly shook his head: "No, we have been in the office for so long, and we have never heard of anyone adding salt to their coffee. If you hadn't asked, Officer Gu, I might not even have known. It turns out that drinking coffee also requires salt."

You can add salt."

"That's right." After receiving such a reply, Gu Chen felt quite satisfied, which confirmed his guess just now.

Yanagawa stood there unaware. He was unable to participate in the entire investigation and seemed to be marginalized by the police.

But he didn't know what was going on in the office, so he couldn't say anything.

Yanagawa felt itchy in his heart and wanted to say something, so he asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, the salt in this sugar pot is really suspicious. Could it be the murderer? If it was the murderer, why did the murderer do it?

this way?"

"Your question is a good one!" Gu Chen originally wanted to talk about this question, but Yanagawa couldn't bear it and asked it first.

So Gu Chen smiled and asked Gong Xiaoya: "When Xiao Ling just drank coffee, did she drink water? Or did she have any strange reactions?"

"This..." Gong Xiaoya frowned in embarrassment, then looked at Fat Xiaofang.

Fat Xiaofang hesitated for a moment, then said with uncertainty: "I seemed to have heard Xiao Ling coughing non-stop, and it seemed to be quite severe."

"As for drinking water? It seems that there is water, right? Oh, by the way, she seems to have taken Sister Xia He's paper cup, because Sister Xia He's boiled water was just poured."

"Is it in this position?" Gu Chen tapped the middle of the cubicle with the notebook in his hand.

Fat Xiaofang was stunned at that time and said with some disbelief: "Gu... Officer Gu, you are so amazing. That's right. Sister Xia He's glass of water was placed exactly in the middle of the cubicle."

"I also saw that Xiao Ling was coughing badly at that time. Because Sister Xia He had not touched the glass of water, Xiao Ling took it in her hand and drank it."

"Bang!" The transcript in Gu Chen's hand hit the palm of his hand directly: "That's it. If I guess correctly, Xiao Ling's poisoning was not because of that cup of coffee, but because of that cup of water."

"Then...that glass of water is poisonous?" Lu Weiwei was also frightened.

Before, everyone was still thinking about poisoned coffee, and could never find the timing and reason for poisoning the coffee.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Gu Chen jumped out of the original idea, first transferred the poisoning method to the cup of sugar pot, and then connected the sugar pot to the cup of water.

But the moment Lu Weiwei hesitated, Gu Chen knelt down and found a discarded paper cup from the trash can under Xiao Ling's cubicle.

At this time, there were still some remaining traces of water in the crumpled paper cup, which made Gu Chen very satisfied.

He immediately took out the evidence bag, sealed the paper cup in it, filled in the number, and murmured to himself: "If I guessed correctly, the residue of this water and the paper cup must contain highly toxic substances.

."

"Gu...Officer Gu, are you so sure?" Liuchuan was also stunned by Gu Chen's magical operation.

Gu Chen always seemed to be able to find the key to the problem from subtle clues.

Just now when everyone was still arguing about the issue of poisoned coffee, Gu Chen had already jumped out of his original thinking.

But this time he skipped the sugar pot and found the so-called poisonous paper cup. This made Yanagawa very puzzled. Why was Gu Chen so sure?

After Gu Chen took photos and collected evidence, he turned to Yanagawa and asked, "Do you have any questions, Manager Liu?"

"Just... just this." Yanagawa quickly walked to Officer Wang, pointed at the sugar pot and said: "You haven't told me yet, what is going on with this sugar pot? Also, why did you conclude that this cup

Is there a problem with the water?”

"Haha, so that's it?" Gu Chen's thoughts went too fast, but Yanagawa was not a criminal investigator after all, so it was difficult to find problems in Gu Chen's reasoning, so his mind was filled with questions.

After Gu Chen put away the evidence bag, he walked to Officer Wang, pointed at the sugar pot and said: "The reason why the murderer wanted to replace the sugar in the sugar pot with salt was to get Xiao Ling to drink that glass of water.

"

"And the murderer was very sure that for someone with Xiao Ling's personality, she would definitely go get that glass of water, not to mention that the glass of water had never been touched."

"On the surface, this is a glass of water that Xia He puts here, ready to drink at any time, but in fact it is specially prepared for Xiao Ling, because Xia He knows Xiao Ling's personality very well."

Gong Xiaoya was shocked when she heard what Gu Chen said. She said without knowing why: "So...so Sister Xia He wanted to kill Xiao Ling from the beginning?"

Gu Chen nodded and asked, "Have you ever seen her drink water from a special cup?"

"I've seen it before. Sister Xia He has a pink thermos cup for drinking water. I even asked her where she bought it." Gong Xiaoya glanced at the thermos cup on the table and quickly pointed to it and said, "Yes, that's it.

Sister Xia He usually uses this to drink water."

"Then why did she use a disposable paper cup to fill water today? Have you ever thought about this problem?" Gu Chen asked again.

This time it hit her heart directly. Gong Xiaoya was stunned and speechless.

Fat Xiaofang on the side was also completely panicked. She looked at Gu Chen blankly and said, "So, is that glass of water really poisonous? Is it really that Sister Xia He specially prepared it for Xiao Ling to drink?"

Gu Chen nodded.

"Oh my God! Why is Sister Xia He such a person?" Fat Xiaofang covered her face at that time, feeling that she could not accept this fact at all.

After Yanagawa got the result, he still struggled with the sugar pot and continued to poke Gu Chen's arm and asked: "Officer Gu, this sugar pot..."

Gu Chen directly took the sugar pot with salt on the table in his hand and said calmly: "Don't you know that putting salt in coffee can easily make your throat sore?"

"Ah?" Yanagawa seemed to have a thunderbolt flash in his mind, and he froze there. It seemed that all the doubts were suddenly solved. After Gu Chen's investigation, all the doubts were revealed in front of him.

Yanagawa looked at Gu Chen who looked indifferent and couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that the young policeman in front of him could actually take advantage of the conditions at the scene in such a short period of time, as well as the relationship between himself and Xiaoya Xiaofang.

Confession can restore the scene to normal.

You know, after Xiao Ling fell down, Xia He was the first to go over to check on the situation.

It was also Xia He's first call to the 120 emergency center.

It was Xia He who immediately assisted the medical rescue personnel to send Xiao Ling away and asked everyone to protect the scene.

It was also Xia He who immediately called the police and asked the police to come and find out the truth.

But now it seems that the person who is least likely to be the murderer in everyone's mind is none other than Xia He.

Do you feel like fate is playing a joke on everyone?

Yanagawa couldn't believe it and didn't even dare to face it.

Even if Xiao Ling was poisoned, it would be fine because she ate something unclean.

But the poisoner turned out to be Xia He?

While Yanagawa, Xiaoya, and Xiaofang were sighing with each other, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were also assessing the situation at the scene.
