Chapter 445： Winslow's Clues, Potion Harvest, Report

Chapter 445: Winslow’s clues, potion harvest, report and discussion

“We found the work schedule of the service staff on the night of the incident.”

Chenelle on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense and directly stated that she and Winslow had found out the working arrangements of the service staff during the reception in the head maid's room of the villa.

 The work arrangement at the beginning of the reception is not important. What is important is the list of people staying in the villa after the reception.

“The work schedule shows that there is no maid named Iona in the list of people who should stay on the night of the crime.”

Chenier looked at the book in her hand and said coldly:

“But there was a maid named Belinda who asked for leave that night due to family matters. Iona took over the position and stayed in the villa that night.”

 “Iona?”

Luo An’s brows moved slightly when he heard this and asked:

“Is this woman among the 26 victims?”

"have."

 Chenelle replied:

“The crime scene report of the trace examination department showed that Iona also died that night in the room where she lived with several other maids.”

 “But there’s something wrong with this woman’s death.”

As soon as Chenelle finished speaking, before Roan could speak, Winslow's voice sounded on the other end of the phone:

“Team leader, after the Trace Inspection Section arrived at the crime scene, they took some photos of each victim’s death scene.

  There were four maids in the room where Iona lived.

The remaining three-life maids all showed pain on their faces, with ferocious expressions and obvious signs of struggle.

 But Iona didn’t. Although she also showed pain on her face, she clenched her teeth and lay straight on the bed. It felt more like..."

“It’s more like committing suicide by taking poison after successfully committing the crime, right?”

 “That’s right.”

 Luo An's expression moved slightly, and he took in Winslow's next words. While his mind was spinning rapidly, Luo An continued to ask:

 “Are there any other discoveries?”

“The three telephone lines for external communication in the villa, two for regular use and one for backup, have all been cut off.”

Winslow mentioned a few clues he found, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

“Also, team leader, I suspect that there were more than 26 victims and 1 Lexa O’Dell in this villa on the night of the crime. I’m afraid there were others...and not just one person.”

  “??!”

Luo An looked stern when he heard this and said sternly:

 “After the on-site inspection is completed, come back and explain in detail!”

"clear!"

　　After hanging up the phone, Luo An took Michelle back to the hotel suite. No trace of anyone breaking in was found. Luo An was slightly relieved.

　　Waving his hand to signal Michelle to sort out the diary, Luo An sat down on the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate on the clues to the case.

 After pondering for a long time, Luo An came up with several follow-up investigation plans for the case, and decided to adapt accordingly based on the actual situation.

Looking up at the time, Luo An found that Mona and Cheniel would not be back soon, so he closed his eyes again and began to check the system pages in his mind.

 The system gave Luo An an [Excellent] rating for his previous performance, and he accumulated ten treasure chests.

 After praying to the gods whose names he knew in the East and West, Luo An opened the ten treasure chests one by one.

A total of two bottles of [Featherfall Potion], two bottles of [Analgesic Potion], two bottles of [Hemostatic Potion], one [Scuba Potion], one [Swift Potion], and two bottles of [Danger Sense] were found in the ten treasure chests. Pharmacy].

 At this time, in Luo An’s system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x6] that can be dispensed almost every day.

  【Hemostatic Agent x4】

  【Antidote x5】

  【Swift Potion x3】

  【Strength Potion x3】

  【Sensitive Drug x1】    【Analgesic Drug x6】

  【Featherfall Potion x2】

  【Sleep Potion x1】

  【Scuba Potion x1】

Seeing the two bottles of [Danger Sense Potion] that he had been thinking about for a long time but never appeared, Luo An suddenly grinned, took them out of the system and poured them into his stomach without saying a word.

 After drinking two bottles of [Danger Sensing Potion], Luo An sat on the sofa and waited for a long time, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, quietly waiting for the new effects brought by these two potions.

 But...nothing seems to have changed.

Luo An was full of doubts and remained silent for a few seconds. He then tried to open the "emotional perception" in his mind to chat with Michelle. Only then did he realize that "emotional perception" increased the emotional changes of others a lot.

Michelle's various emotional fluctuations occurred when he answered different questions. After several trials, Luo An found that he could guess the truth or falsehood of what the other party said, just like he did in the poker game, with a success rate of nearly 90%.

Not only that, Luo An then let Michelle throw the pen at him. He found that he could clearly sense whether Michelle really wanted to harm him, and thus made corresponding judgments and reactions.

 This ability…

Handing the signature pen back to Michelle, Luo An scratched his head and walked back to the living room, looking down and thinking about the use of this new ability in the future.

 Michelle held the signature pen in her hand, looking confused and at a loss. She was silent for a few seconds, and continued to deal with the diary with her head lowered. She had a hunch that there might be important clues in this diary.

　　——

 At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mona, Lacey, Chenelle and Winslow all returned to the hotel suite.

Luo An pulled over five temporarily purchased whiteboards and pasted the photos of the duplex villa, the photos of the 26 victims, and the photo of Lexa O'Dell on three of the whiteboards, and then looked at everyone, said:

“Everyone, please tell me about the clues you have found.”

 “I’ll come first.”

Lacie was the first to raise her hand, but she didn't say much. She still talked about the causes of death and autopsy reports of the 26 victims.

　　After Lacey finished speaking, she returned to her seat. Luo An’s expression remained unchanged and he looked at Mona.

 “I checked the monitoring situation.”

 Because of his emphasis on personal privacy and his distrust of modern technology, Pranay O'Dell did not install surveillance cameras inside the villa, so what exactly happened in the villa on the night of the incident remains a mystery.

However, security personnel have installed many surveillance cameras outside the villa and at the walls of the designated area.

“After careful observation, I found that there was a problem with the surveillance on the night of the incident.”

Mona showed the surveillance screen on her laptop to everyone. In the third hour after the reception, that is, after the guests had left, the surveillance screen jittered slightly for less than a second.

Mona pointed to the trees in one of the monitoring screens and said coldly:

“From the moment of this shaking, the surveillance cameras were changed, and all the surveillance videos played inside were disguised surveillance videos.”

 “Wow, it seems that the other party is also a computer expert.”

Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned to look at Chenier. Chenier straightened up, distributed a dozen documents to everyone, and said while dividing them:

“This is the identity information of the 26 victims and the basic information of their family and friends.

In addition, in the thicker folder at the back, the first page is the list of people at the cocktail party that night, and the following dozens of pages are the identity information of all the people participating in the cocktail party, as well as the basic information of their family and friends. "

Everyone took the thick folder and looked at Chenelle with surprise, wondering how she got all this in such a short period of time.

 Chenelle did not laugh, but explained quietly:

“Quite simply, there’s no shortage of talent in Las Vegas.”

 “OK, good work.”

Roan didn’t ask any more questions. He knew that Chenelle would not cross the line, so he turned to look at Winslow who was sitting next to him, and asked in a serious voice:

“Winslow, you said before that there were other people at the scene of the crime. What exactly happened?”
