Chapter 174: Inquiry

Click-la-la-la-la-

In the darkness of consciousness, the harsh and sharp sound of wood hitting and grinding came from in front of him.

Awakens Morris, who had been unconscious.

What were you doing?

By the way, he was hired by Mr. Everton to work as a sentry at an exhibition outside Brenwich.

And then......

"Shhhh

Gasping for air, Morris, who came to his senses, thought back to what he had seen.

Originally, this morning, he was on standby on the first floor of the exhibition hall as usual.

As a result, not long after Mr. Ronald arrived, a fierce black fog came from around him like a flood.

Corridors, halls, rooftops......

As far as the eye can see, there is absolutely no place to escape.

In a hurry, he prepared to cast a spell to defend, but when he used the spell, he couldn't stop the overwhelming black fog, and he quickly lost consciousness in the process of impact.

So......

What's going on now?

Struggling to lift his heavy head, Morris saw the source of the sound that awakened his consciousness.

- Ronald.

Ronald Adler, who was nominally responsible for the protection of the exhibition.

At this moment, dragging the back of a chair with one hand, he was walking out of a bottomless black fog.

Where this man who didn't say a word passed.

The black fog around him, which exuded a dangerous aura and suddenly robbed him of his consciousness, now crawled at Ronald's feet like a courtier to greet the king, and moved out of the way as he advanced.

Gradually walked to the center of the hall that was not shrouded in black fog at the end.

Ronald set up his chair in front of everyone and sat down with a nonchalant expression.

Surrounded by black fog, only a lantern placed on the ground provided the light.

The light cast a shadow on Ronald's face, and then reflected the black fog around him, and the chilling air rose suddenly.

Then, he spoke:

"I'm sorry, but now I'll grieve everyone."

"I'm going to ask you some questions, and if you haven't asked, please don't talk yet......

"Ronald! Are you crazy? ”

Suddenly, a voice full of fear sounded from the side:

"What are you attacking us for?"

"Are you going to betray us [Ginkgo biloba]? Do you know what you're doing? ”

Morris turned his head and immediately saw the man who dared to roar at this moment.

It is a close confidant of Mr. Everton, Mr. Hansen.

Call it a day.

Morris has fully regained consciousness.

At the same time, I am aware of how bad the situation is now.

Around an open space in the hall, the entire exhibition staff were tied to chairs in a circle, and all the body parts except the head were covered by a thick black mist.

If only that's it.

Not to mention Hansen, who only dares to roar and interrogate there now, as a member of the mysterious side, Morris himself has to quietly cast spells to try to break free.

But he didn't dare!

Not only Morris, but everyone present did not dare to act rashly.

After all......

The blade of the blade was right in front of them.

In fact, the black mist that enveloped everyone, and at the same time, he controlled the sharp knives against everyone's side.

The black mist that enveloped the crowd almost stuck to their skin.

If someone makes a small movement, I'm afraid they will be noticed in the next second.

The results speak for themselves!

"Ahemβ€”"

At this time, Ronald coughed lightly twice.

Then he simply said directly:

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

"Among all of you present, there is a traitor."

"He killed Mr. Kevin last night, and then stole something important, and that's why I kept you under control."

β€œ......”

Ronald's words landed, and the dark hall fell silent.

Although the people present were afraid, they also understood that Ronald, who controlled the life and death of everyone, did not need to deceive them.

If this matter cannot be solved.

Not to mention Ronald in front of them, Everton will definitely fire them after that.

For all the staff of the exhibition.

- This is absolutely unacceptable!

Seeing that everyone acquiesced to his statement in silence, Ronald nodded with satisfaction:

"So, I'm going to ask you to answer my question."

"Please don't panic."

Smack-

Immediately, Ronald slapped his palm lightly.

"Then from left to right, let's talk about the time and place of the last time I met Mr. Kevin."

After finishing speaking, Ronald smiled slightly:

"That's right, friendly tips."

"I've worked in the Bureau of Investigation before, so I guess you all know that there's a spell that can tell a lie, right?"

β€œ......”

After saying that, Ronald did not rush everyone.

Just sit quietly in your chair and wait.

After nearly two minutes of silence, the first person on the left looked beside him and finally spoke:

"I saw Mr. Kevin in the hallway last night at dinner."

After saying that, he handed his gaze to the second person, and the person behind him immediately said:

"I ...... I was also at dinner last night! ”

"A lot of people were there!"

"Mr. Kevin's death has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Immediately after, the next man spoke:

"I saw Mr. Kevin last night when I changed shifts, and I was still in the second-floor hallway!"

The next person continues:

"I also saw it at dinner last night, and I've been standing guard on the first floor until now!"

Another man says:

"I'm ...... like them"

After such a round of questions, a confusing situation arises.

Ronald had just examined Kevin's body, and he had died not long after this morning.

But here's the problem.

Everyone present proved that the last time they saw Kevin, was before he died.

Ronald is not bluffing.

He did turn on the polygraph's abilities.

Although the guards in front of him had various moods, none of the feedback came that he was lying.

"Huh-"

Shaking his head with a smile, Ronald continued with some emotion in his heart:

"The next thing, each of you says 'Kevin didn't kill me.'" , not a word is wrong. ”

This time there is no need for Ronald to indicate the order.

The man on the far left rushed to answer as if he were participating in a quiz contest:

"Kevin didn't kill me!"

Next, a flurry of voices rang out between them:

"Kevin didn't kill me!"

"Kevin didn't kill me!"

"Kevin ......"

At the end of another round of answers, everyone denied that they were the murderers, and Ronald also did not tell that someone was lying.

That's interesting......

Not long after the Divine Comedy received the 'fraud', Ronald began to explore perception. Unless the murderer is a monster flying at a speed of Mach 1, it is possible to escape from his perception range in such a short time.

Ronald is confident that the Divine Comedy can't go wrong.

Then the result is simple.

Someone is lying, and he was able to pass the lie detector test!
