Chapter 469 Demonstration and Provocation
Tsk, he has already learned to answer quickly.
Hastur smiled and told Will not to be too nervous. Even if there is an Outer God behind the scissors, He is now isolated outside the original barrier and has limited influence on the real world.
Will and Ouroboros are both mercury snakes that symbolize fate. They have come to this point and are loved by fate.
Fate will not easily abandon its followers.
"No matter what, you should be responsible for all this. I am just a child who has not fully grown up."
Will looked like he was already dependent on you.
"Last time Ouroboros asked me where you were hiding."
"Don't scare me with that stupid snake. He must be staying with the real creator now."
"You really understand each other."
"Oh, you don't need to tell me."
After talking with Hastur for a while, Will felt much better.
Although he could not help much with the matter of the scissors, he gave Hastur a reminder, saying that in the next few days, the fate of Backlund would fluctuate, and the fate of many people would be affected by what happened tonight.
"By the way, remember to ask someone to change a new flavor of ice cream. I have been eating the same one recently and I am almost tired of it."
After sending Will away, Hastur also exited the dream and began to think about what Will's reminder meant.
The next day, when Hastur washed up and went downstairs to enjoy breakfast, Butler Neil came in a little panic. He wanted to say something but stopped, but he waited until Hastur finished breakfast before he came over.
"What happened?"
"My Lord Earl, this is what happened." Butler Neil waved away the other maids and continued: "Many nobles who came to the charity party last night suddenly had diarrhea around the early morning of today and were rushed to the hospital."
"The number of people known so far has exceeded 20, and the number of people who are sick is still increasing."
"There are already many rumors that this incident was caused by food poisoning caused by attending the charity party last night."
Hastur listened silently. Is this what Will wants to remind him?
Food poisoning?
What a fresh reason. I also tasted several delicacies last night and found nothing unusual.
And when I left, no noble was ill.
If there was anything unusual... that unusual wind.
"Such a big thing, have you called the police?"
"Not yet." Butler Neil worried: "This matter concerns the reputation of the Earl. Would it be bad to call the police?"
"Since there is a major problem, we must call the police. Only by investigating it clearly can we prevent rumors from spreading everywhere."
"I understand, I will do it now."
After Butler Neil left, Hasta was silent for a while, then got up and took a car to Earl Hall's house.
He wanted to see if Hibbert was also abnormal, after all, this was his future brother-in-law.
When he arrived at Earl Hall's house, Hibbert had gone out to work, and only Audrey and Countess Hall were at home.
Facing his arrival, Countess Hall smiled and entertained him warmly.
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 fine, Hastur began to think about this matter again and the changes it would cause.
"Woof?"
Susie saw his troubles and seemed to want to help.
Hastur thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe you can really help me this time."
"Woof!"
"Susie, you look very happy?"
Audrey, dressed beautifully and exquisitely, came down the stairs from the second floor with a bright smile on her face.
...
In the Qiaowu District, Mrs. Vincent's cake shop, in an office on the second floor on the right hand side, Leonard, who had been nervous all night, had not been in the office for long when he received another case.
He opened it and saw that it turned out that this case was related to him. No wonder it was sent to him by the Night Watchman.
Food poisoning incident at the charity dinner?
After reading the content, Leonard was stunned for a long time. He also ate a lot of food last night, but he didn't feel anything, let alone poisoning.
And this is a charity dinner held by Hastur. Can he let others throw dirty water on his head?
After thinking for a while, Leonard put the case on the table, with his feet on the table and his body slightly leaning back.
Hastur will figure out the case himself, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
"The old man seemed to have noticed something last night."
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 the words."
"Wind."
After the old man left this sentence, he was completely silent. No matter how Leonard scratched his head, he could not get a response.
Wind... The poison hidden in the wind?
But he also smelled it, why didn't anything happen?
Also, who is behind this matter? He dared to offend even someone like Hastur, which is really courageous.
In the evening, Leonard received the latest information from the night watchers.
The 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.
"Woof."
Susie suddenly barked at Gray Lint, as if she was targeting a certain criminal suspect.
Hastur and Audrey also looked at Gray Linte 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 drug." Gray Linte 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 was a little anxious, "Since I came back from you 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 the kerosene last night were the servants in the Graylingt family. They also stole the medicine developed by Graylingt and spread the powder in the air.
When the wind blows, it will blow 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 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.
