Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up
Chapter 155 Poison (6k)
"It really ate it." Grandma Feng was very happy. "It seems to like chicken legs."
She gave Zhao Xun another chicken leg and said, "Just give that chicken leg to the little monkey. You can eat this."
"Thank you, Grandma Feng." Zhao Xun smiled and thanked her without refusing.
He took chopsticks and slowly pulled apart the meat from the first chicken leg, and then fed the squirrel monkey a small piece of meat.
Seeing that Grandma Feng was still looking at him, he explained: "This kind of monkey is small in size and has trouble eating things that are too big. It needs to be fed smaller."
"So that's it." Grandma Feng understood, and then advised, "Then don't just feed it, eat it yourself, otherwise the food will be cold and it won't taste good."
"Well, I'll eat in a moment." Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I eat very quickly, so the food won't get cold."
"That's good, that's good." Grandma Feng said nothing more, turned around and started to greet others to eat.
Zhao Xun just waited for two minutes. The squirrel monkey was safe and sound, and even looked at Zhao Xun's dinner bowl eagerly, as if he was looking forward to eating a few more pieces of chicken legs.
Jiang Shuai on the side did not show any abnormality. He not only ate braised fish, but also cold jellyfish and braised pork. His whole face looked rosy and he did not have any discomfort.
Zhao Xun calmly removed a small piece of meat from the second chicken leg that Grandma Feng gave him, and gave it to the squirrel monkey to eat.
Chicken legs are different from other foods, and it is possible to poison a certain chicken leg alone.
Therefore, just because the first chicken drumstick is fine after eating it, it does not mean that the second one will be fine.
Zhao Xun ate the remaining part of the first chicken drumstick by himself, while waiting for the result of the squirrel monkey eating the second drumstick.
After waiting for another two minutes, the squirrel monkey was still healthy, so Zhao Xun ate the remaining second chicken leg.
Then, under the expectant gaze of the squirrel monkey, he picked out several dishes for the squirrel monkey to try.
There was an interval of about two minutes each time. After making sure there was no problem, he ate the remaining part and gave the squirrel monkey new food.
Although the squirrel monkey only eats a small piece of each food, its small size makes it full after such a round of eating.
Zhao Xun had already had lunch and was not hungry now, so he didn't eat much.
Just in order not to attract the attention of the killer hiding inside, he would eat something from time to time to make himself look less obtrusive.
When Fan Xiaodan first saw a monkey squatting on Zhao Xun's shoulder, he was very concerned.
She could tell at a glance that Zhao Xun was a player, but she had never heard of players entering the dream game being able to bring pets with them.
This pet is either from the dream game, or it may be Zhao Xun's special item.
She had never seen a living special item before, but it was not impossible.
When she thought that this monkey might be a special item, her eyes would stop on the monkey from time to time.
She wanted to know what the use of such a special item was.
It wasn't until she saw Zhao Xun feeding the monkeys from time to time that she finally understood Zhao Xun's intentions.
This is testing the poison on a monkey.
If this monkey is a special item, it will definitely have its own special function. Unless its function is to test poison and detoxify it, Zhao Xun will not be willing to use the monkey to test poison.
But a very rare living special item has such a simple function. If it is only used to test poison and detoxify, it seems too ordinary.
After making this judgment, Fan Xiaodan felt that the monkey was more likely to be an ordinary monkey matched with Zhao Xun in the dream game, and not a special item.
She never thought that the monkey itself was not a special item, but it was part of a special item.
After thinking that monkeys were not special items, Fan Xiaodan lost interest in monkeys.
But the method of testing poison is also beneficial to her.
So she followed the gourd's example, and when Zhao Xun chose what to eat, she followed suit.
After the meal, not only she and Zhao Xun, but also the other NPCs were safe.
Fan Xiaodan was confused.
The main task emphasizes the need to choose at least two kinds of food to eat, which means that there must be something wrong with one or more of the foods on this table.
Even if no one is killed, vomiting, diarrhea, hallucinations, etc. may occur.
But now, nothing strange has happened.
This surprised Fan Xiaodan.
Zhao Xun had the same idea at this time.
He even wondered for a moment whether there were chronic poisons in these foods.
After all, the main mission didn't say that someone would die during the dinner party.
If it was a chronic poison, he would naturally not die now.
However, Zhao Xun quickly denied this speculation.
The background of the game this time is still an ordinary world, not a world of fantasy and magic, so the poisons must be ordinary ones.
Chronic poisons are not only slow to take effect, but one-time poisoning often does not cause obvious harm to the human body. It requires continuous poisoning multiple times to achieve the effect.
This also means that as long as the person no longer eats the poison, the person can slowly metabolize the toxin and gradually recover.
Generally, murderers who use chronic poisons must get along with their victims for a long time to have the opportunity to continue poisoning.
And there was enough resentment between the murderer and the victim to persist in the poisoning.
Through Grandpa Feng's previous introduction, it can at least be confirmed that the nine people present are not completely related to each other, so it is unlikely that the murderer and others will have deep resentment and long-term poisoning opportunities.
What's more, serial murderers often use more direct methods to kill, and the possibility of using chronic poisons is low.
Just as Zhao Xun was thinking about it, Grandma Feng brought a large fruit plate from the kitchen.
"Everyone has eaten, right?" Grandma Feng said with a smile, "Come on, let's eat some more fruit."
There are quite a lot of fruits in the fruit plate, including watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, cherry tomatoes and oranges.
Grandpa Feng also took out three buckets of drinks: "If you don't like fruits, just drink drinks. Eat whatever you like. Everyone can order as they please, don't be formal!"
One bucket is orange juice, one bucket is coconut juice, and one bucket is milk.
"Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng, you are too generous!" Jiang Shuai shouted from the side, "I feel a little embarrassed."
"Don't be embarrassed." Grandpa Feng said while unpacking the drinks. "We, an old couple, don't have children, so it's not interesting to live in a deserted apartment. When you come here, the apartment will become lively. You add life to us, of course we should I’ll give you good food and drink.”
"Then I'm welcome." Jiang Shuai took the initiative to pick up a piece of watermelon in the fruit plate, took a bite, and gave a thumbs up, "It's quite sweet!"
"Then...I'll eat some too." Fan Xiaodan's best friend Gu Xiaoyun took a piece of cantaloupe from the fruit plate and ate it. She nodded in approval, "This one is quite sweet too."
"Grandpa Feng, I would like to drink a glass of coconut juice." Jiang Shuai pointed to the coconut juice bucket placed next to Grandpa Feng.
Grandpa Feng stood up cheerfully: "Okay, I'll pour it for you."
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Jiang Shuai quickly stood up and reached out to take the coconut juice from Grandpa Feng's hand. "I can't trouble you. Just give me the drink and I'll pour it myself."
The atmosphere was very good, and other people also picked their favorite fruits or drinks to eat.
Zhao Xun took a piece of watermelon and gave a small piece to the squirrel monkey. After a while, he finished the rest himself.
At this moment, Grandpa Feng suddenly stood up again. His movement was so violent that the chair behind him was overturned.
The huge movement attracted everyone's attention. Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at Grandpa Feng inexplicably.
Grandpa Feng grabbed his neck hard with both hands, and some liquid spilled out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably. His eyes were wide open, and he stared straight ahead with horror on his face.
Zhao Xun's eyes narrowed slightly and he put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Fan Xiaodan was startled, and then looked at the struggling Grandpa Feng with a calm expression.
They both understood that poisonous food did exist, but it was not in meals, but in fruits or drinks.
Judging from Grandpa Feng's condition, it was too late to save him.
Everyone else looked bewildered, wanting to step forward to help but not knowing what to do.
"What...what's going on?" Jiang Shuai was stunned.
"Hurry, call the emergency number." Grandma Feng stood up anxiously, her tone a little hurried, "He may be choking. Do you know any Heim first aid?"
Before anyone could express his opinion, Grandpa Feng fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
He foamed at the mouth and twitched several times, and his chest stopped breathing.
"Old man?" Grandma Feng took two trembling steps toward Grandpa Feng, "Old man, don't scare me!"
Her voice was very soft, and fear made her lose strength instantly, making it difficult to even speak.
"Okay...it seems to be dead." Gu Xiaoyun stammered.
She craned her neck to look at the place where Grandpa Feng fell, but did not dare to get closer.
Although he didn't get a closer look, any fool could tell that Grandpa Feng was dead in the state he was in just now.
"I...I feel like he didn't choke to death...like he was poisoned." Liu Mei said softly.
She is one of the two remaining NPCs that Zhao Xun did not mention.
Liu Mei has a ponytail, simple clothes, and a bookish air. She is obviously a college student who is still in school.
At this time, her eyes were full of uneasiness, and she was twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, and she didn't even dare to look at Grandpa Feng lying on the ground.
"What?" Grandma Feng looked incredulous, "How can it be poisoned? The old man and I prepared the meals together. They are all home-cooked dishes. There is no way they are poisonous!"
Fan Xiaodan glanced at Zhao Xun subconsciously.
Zhao Xun felt Fan Xiaodan's gaze. He raised his eyes and looked at Fan Xiaodan calmly.
Seeing that Zhao Xun remained motionless, Fan Xiaodan finally spoke: "Zhao Xun, you are the closest, please confirm."
"I'm a little scared too," Zhao Xun said with a hint of uneasiness in his tone, "and I'm neither a doctor nor a policeman, so I can't tell anything if I look at it."
Fan Xiaodan: "..."
How did this man manage to have such calm eyes and a tone of voice that made people think he was really scared?
After a while, Fan Xiaodan sighed helplessly. She stood up, walked to Grandpa Feng's side, and touched Grandpa Feng's neck.
"He is indeed dead." She said calmly under the expectant eyes of everyone, "It is also true that he was poisoned."
Everyone gasped subconsciously.
Zhao Xun's expression did not change much, but he kept looking at Fan Xiaodan.
This woman's movements and expression looked very professional.
Could it be that she used to be a police officer or... a forensic scientist?
"How could this happen?" Grandma Feng's face was full of doubts. She was unwilling to accept this reality. "How could a person who was fine just now die suddenly! It is even more impossible to be poisoned!"
"Grandpa Feng just showed difficulty breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. His skin turned cyanotic again, but the area around his lips became bright red, and there was a bitter almond taste in his mouth." Fan Xiaodan paused and continued, "It should be cyanide. (Anti-shielding) chemical poisoning.”
Grandma Feng looked at Fan Xiaodan blankly, as if she didn't understand what he was saying at all.
But she understood one thing clearly: her old man was really poisoned and died.
"How could the old man be poisoned..." Grandma Feng's voice trembled violently, "How could the food I cooked be poisonous!"
"Grandma Feng, don't be too excited." Fan Xiaodan helped Grandma Feng sit down again. "There must be nothing wrong with the food you cooked. Everyone has eaten it. And it's been a while since we finished eating. This poison won't wait like this." It took a long time for him to react. Grandpa Feng should have been poisoned after eating fruit or drinks."
"But those fruits and drinks were bought by me and the old man together. I just cut the fruits, and the drinks were just opened by the old man." Grandma Feng was sad and angry at the same time, "How is that possible..."
"It was poisoned." Fan Xiaodan said as he moved Grandpa Feng's body to the wall, then took out a towel and covered Grandpa Feng's face. "There is a murderer among us."
"What do you mean by that?" Dou Yaohui frowned and glared at Fan Xiaodan, "You actually suspect that one of us has poisoned you?"
He is another NPC that Zhao Xun didn't mention. He is a man with long hair that reaches his shoulders.
Although he has long hair, he has a strong physique and looks neither like an artist nor a sissy, but like a slutty little gangster.
"Impossible," Gu Xiaoyun also retorted, "Grandpa Feng treats people so well and has never had any conflicts with us tenants. How could someone want to kill Grandpa Feng?"
"Yes," Fan's mother, who had been silent until now, also spoke up, "Old Feng has always been generous and kind to us. Even sometimes when we don't have money to pay the rent on time, he is willing to extend his grace for a while. Everyone likes him very much, no Reason to poison him."
"But Grandpa Feng is indeed dead, and the symptoms are poisoning." Zhao Xun glanced at the crowd and asked, "It's impossible that Grandpa Feng didn't want to live anymore and chose to commit suicide in public, right?"
While others were arguing, he looked at Grandpa Feng's tableware.
Grandpa Feng's position is just to his right, which is very convenient to check.
There were leftover watermelon and grape skins on Grandpa Feng’s plate, and half of the milk in his cup.
Before Grandpa Feng’s accident, watermelons and grapes were eaten by several people, but no one drank the milk.
Everyone was either eating fruit or drinking coconut juice and orange juice. Only Grandpa Feng drank milk.
The possibility of the milk being poisoned is extremely high.
It's a pity that he has no relevant knowledge reserves and there are no testing instruments here, so he cannot be 100% sure of his speculation.
"Definitely impossible!" Grandma Feng slapped the table angrily, "The old man and I have such a good relationship. We have never had a quarrel in so many years, and his personality is already very cheerful. How could he commit suicide!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Although no one spoke, everyone knew that what Grandma Feng said was right.
The possibility of Grandpa Feng committing suicide is zero.
"I can't believe it," Liu Mei murmured, "We have been together for so long and everyone is so harmonious. I really can't believe that there is a murderer among us."
She lowered her eyes and looked at the plate in front of her, not daring to look at others.
It seems that he is afraid that if he looks into the eyes of the murderer hiding inside, his life will be in danger.
"You are the only one among us who is new here. I think you are the murderer!" Dou Yaohui suddenly pointed his head at Zhao Xun, "Before you came, nothing like this had ever happened in this apartment. After you came, something suddenly happened. , it must be you who did it!”
"What you said is really ridiculous." Zhao Xun chuckled, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes, "Isn't it possible that it is a coincidence that this happened after I came?"
Before Dou Yaohui could speak, Zhao Xun added: "Besides, Grandpa Feng told me before that this time everyone in the apartment is here, so we have a dinner together. In other words, you have not organized a dinner before, and the murderer is very Maybe he had planned to kill someone a long time ago, but he just found the opportunity to do it during the dinner party."
Dou Yaohui choked for a moment, but he was not convinced. After holding it in for a while, he finally managed to say something: "The current situation is that everyone thinks that Grandpa Feng treats people very well, and it is unlikely that there will be a vendetta. Since it is not a vendetta, then The person who poisoned him must be a psychopathic maniac. Either he killed people indiscriminately, or he was jealous of Grandpa Feng’s happiness, so he committed the murder."
"What does that have to do with me?" Zhao Xun asked, "Do I look like a psychopathic murderer?"
Although his mental state is inherently abnormal, it has not shown up in this dream game so far.
Dou Yaohui was completely silent.
"Besides, I didn't have time to commit the crime." Zhao Xun added, "I stayed in the bedroom before Grandpa Feng asked me to go downstairs. When I came to the restaurant, you were all already there. I never left the dining table during the whole process, even more I didn’t touch the fruits and drinks before Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng brought them.”
"What Zhao Xun said is indeed correct." Fan Xiaodan stated in a calm tone, "He has no chance to poison."
Zhao Xun glanced at Fan Xiaodan, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak for him at this time.
Fan Xiaodan did not look back at Zhao Xun, but just stared at Dou Yaohui.
Dou Yaohui blushed a little, but he frowned, not wanting to admit that he had guessed wrong.
But he didn't have the nerve to say anything else.
"Grandma Feng," Zhao Xun turned to look at Grandma Feng and asked, "After you and Grandpa Feng bought the fruit drinks today, where did you put your things?"
Grandma Feng didn't understand why Zhao Xun suddenly asked this, but she still answered: "Just put it in the kitchen."
"After you put the fruit drinks in the kitchen and before the meal, did anyone come in and out of the kitchen?" Zhao Xun asked again, "In other words, after you bought the fruit drinks, did anyone touch these things? "
Grandma Feng had already guessed why Zhao Xun asked this. She tried hard to remember for a while before she said, "Most people have entered the kitchen."
She sighed deeply, and her whole back became rickety, making her look old and weak.
"The old man and I bought fruits and drinks while grocery shopping in the morning. The things were very heavy and we used a small cart." She recalled in detail, "When we arrived at the door of the house, we met Xiao Dou. He helped us carry the dishes, fruits and drinks to the kitchen."
"After entering the kitchen, Fan's mother was making breakfast. Xiao Gu went to the refrigerator and took the sandwich he bought the night before and put it in the microwave to heat up. After the old man, Xiao Dou and I put the ingredients, we left the kitchen. Fan's mother and Xiao Gu Gu Du is still in the kitchen."
"After they both made breakfast and came out, the old man and I went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables. When it was almost ten o'clock, Xiao Liu went into the kitchen and got a bottle of fresh milk. She drank the milk and chatted with us for half an hour before leaving. .”
"Then there was Xiao Jiang. He came over not long after Xiao Liu left. He said that the TV in the room was broken, and the old man went upstairs to fix it. Xiao Jiang stayed in the kitchen with me to wash and choose vegetables."
"That is to say, except for Zhao Xun and me, everyone else has entered the kitchen or touched drinks and fruits." Fan Xiaodan concluded.
Grandma Feng nodded: "That's right."
Zhao Xun and Fan Xiaodan were both mentally prepared for this result and did not feel disappointed.
There is only one kitchen in this apartment, and the kitchen is naturally shared.
All food purchased by residents that needs to be kept fresh will be placed in the kitchen refrigerator, and they will also have a gas stove for cooking.
In such a public area, where most people will set foot, it is indeed difficult to identify the suspect from this point.
Zhao Xun asked this because he just wanted to find out everyone's activity time and movement trajectory that day. He did not expect to be able to determine who the murderer was at once.
"That doesn't prove that Fan Xiaodan and Zhao Xun are not suspicious." Dou Yaohui couldn't help but speak, "Maybe they sneaked in while Grandma Feng and Grandpa Feng were not in the kitchen?"
Zhao Xun didn't respond at all. He was holding the milk bucket on the table and had been looking at it for a while.
The milk bucket was wrapped in a plastic film before it was unsealed. The plastic film was not damaged, and the bottle cap was indeed sealed.
Nowadays, the possibility of poisoning in milk is the highest, but since it is not poisoning by opening the lid, the most likely way is to inject the poison into it with a needle.
But he checked so carefully that he didn't even see a pinhole on the plastic bucket.
