Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Lure the Snake out of its Hole
Watching Zhang Fan’s actions, everyone in the room fell silent, and numerous gazes suddenly fixed on him.
"Xiao Fan, have you found something!" Dong Qing hurriedly asked.
Zhang Fan stared at the projection frozen on the wall, his gaze firmly fixed on the elder Dong patriarch. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The Healing Spiritual Value suddenly spiked by more than thirty points, there was definitely no mistake.
At that moment, the elder Dong patriarch was strolling around the Dong Family courtyard.
The surrounding lights were pure and flawless! There was hardly any difference from the daytime! The entire Dong Family courtyard was clear and visible!
But, what was the medium?
Zhang Fan widened his eyes, scrutinizing everything around him.
Flowers? None!
The elder Dong patriarch hadn’t touched anything either!
What was the cause then?
Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s eyes began to flicker.
On the ground, a puddle of water! Under the illumination of the lights, wisps of faint mist emerged from the surface!
Was there a problem with the water?
Zhang Fan immediately turned his head and asked Dong Qing, "What’s the name of the bodyguard on the elder’s left side?"
"Xu Ke, why, is there a problem with him?" Dong Qing spoke in a deep voice, his eyes emitting a chilling light.
Zhang Fan quickly shook his head, "No! I was just asking!"
Immediately after, Zhang Fan accessed the System.
"Healing, Xu Ke!"
"Ding, the target’s vital signs are intact!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan fell into contemplation again!
Vital signs intact?
How could that be! If the water on the ground was the medium for the poison, then the two bodyguards by the elder Dong patriarch’s side would surely have been poisoned!
No, this wasn’t right at all!
There had to be something overlooked!
Definitely!
But around them, apart from the water on the ground, there was nothing else.
No wind!
No other external elements!
Moreover, the bodyguards beside the elder Dong patriarch were unharmed!
What on earth was the problem!
Zhang Fan’s eyes flickered rapidly, his pupils constricting as he stared intently at the projection on the wall.
Immediately, Zhang Fan grabbed the Hive Controller and pulled up the segment of the video from just now.
The elder Dong patriarch walked in front, with the two bodyguards closely following behind.
There were no emergency situations!
Then, Zhang Fan focused his gaze on the other people around.
He watched it six or seven times over and over again.
However, there was no suspicious person!
But then, why had the elder Dong patriarch been poisoned?
Watching Zhang Fan deep in thought, everyone’s eyes widened.
What was the situation?
"Xiao Fan, did you discover something?" Lin Yan asked!
Zhang Fan nodded, then immediately asked Lin Yan, "Grandfather Lin, look, if Grandpa Dong was poisoned here, what do you think could be the medium of poisoning?"
"With this environment?" Lin Yan furrowed his brow.
Soon after, he confidently stated, "It can only be the water on the ground that’s suspicious!"
Zhang Fan shook his head, "Besides the water on the ground?"
Lin Yan’s eyes widened, he looked around for a while, and then shook his head, "Then I have no idea!"
Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s gaze flickered.
Wait, the poison in the elder’s body was a mixed poison; could it be possible that the water on the ground was only a trigger condition?
Something the elder Dong patriarch did, and something the other bodyguards didn’t?
Zhang Fan’s pupils constricted, quickly recalling every event since the elder Dong patriarch left the house.
Food?
It seemed the only thing the bodyguards hadn’t touched was food!
Yet, Dong Qing had said that the elder’s food was all checked.
Even if it was a mixed poison, there would still be other ingredients, right?
Where exactly is the problem?
For a moment, Zhang Fan fell into deep thought again.
"Fan Ge, that light, it seemed to flicker!"
Ye Xuan pointed at the light on the projector and let out a light gasp.
"The light?"
Zhang Fan’s gaze suddenly froze as he looked towards the projection.
"Where?" Zhang Fan quickly asked.
"It’s that one in the middle. When Grandpa Dong passed by, the light dimmed a bit," Ye Xuan said softly.
Instantly, Zhang Fan’s gaze was fixed on the light.
After another look at the area of the floor that had been cleaned as Grandpa Dong passed by, a glint appeared in Zhang Fan’s eyes.
Indeed, as Grandpa Dong passed by, the light suddenly dimmed.
However, when Grandpa Dong had walked past, the light returned to normal!
Could it be a problem with the light?
Zhang Fan turned his head and asked Lin Yan, "Grandpa Lin, are there any toxins that decompose under light?"
"Light decomposition?" Lin Yan pondered, then his eyes widened suddenly.
"Yes, there definitely are!"
Zhang Fan immediately stood up and said to Dong Qing, "Check that light, now!"
Dong Qing nodded, his face stern as he walked out!
Twenty minutes later, Dong Qing came back, his eyes filled with an extremely angry expression.
"There’s a controller on the light, it’s remote-controlled, and there’s an ultraviolet emitter on top."
Hearing Dong Qing’s words, Zhang Fan took a deep breath.
Damn, Poison Spider, these bastards are using high tech.
They targeted the light; if Ye Xuan hadn’t suddenly noticed this, no one would have suspected the reason lay with the light.
What’s even more terrifying is that they knew Grandpa Dong’s daily habits like the back of their hand!
They didn’t tamper with the food but with something as mundane as the cleaning water on the floor and the lighting.
This scheming is terrifyingly brilliant!
Thinking this, Zhang Fan formed a new understanding of Poison Spider’s men.
Killing without trace!
"Test it right away to see if it’s really because of the ultraviolet light and the water on the floor!" Zhang Fan immediately said.
"Okay, I’ll do it myself!" Dong Qing nodded and walked out again.
Watching Dong Qing stand where Grandpa Dong had stood before, Zhang Fan immediately turned on the Healing System.
"Heal, Dong Qing!"
"Ding, spend 38 Spiritual Value for healing?"
When Zhang Fan heard this voice, he finally became excited.
It was this damn thing that poisoned Grandpa Dong!
Soon, Zhang Fan relayed this message to Dong Qing!
And Dong Qing, he too unleashed resolute measures.
In less than ten minutes, the information of the person who installed the light and who cleaned the floor was found.
"There’s no problem with the people! They are long-time servants of the Dong Family, over twenty years! If they wanted to harm the old master, he would have been dead a long time ago!" Dong Qing’s eyes were chillingly cold.
"Check everyone who has come into contact with these two in the past month, especially the newcomers!"
"Yes!"
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Until late at night.
However, after the investigation, they found
no one suspicious!
Seeing this result, Zhang Fan’s eyes bulged, completely dumbfounded.
Poison Spider’s people managed to be flawless in their execution?
How the hell can there be such meticulous people with no slip-ups?
Nobody who had come into contact with these two had any issues—not a single one!
Thinking this, Zhang Fan started to get a headache.
But soon, a cold smirk appeared on his face.
"Uncle Dong, spread the news, saying Grandpa Dong has been poisoned, and that Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Lin, and I are discussing treatment plans for Grandpa Dong."
How deep could they hide? I was going to lure the snake out of its hole!
