“Silkworm grass is a kind of spice. It was widely used hundreds of years ago, but it has gradually disappeared. Few people know about it now. Silkworm grass is harmless unless it comes into contact with mixed flowers. However, once it comes into contact with mixed flowers, it produces a toxin that causes unconsciousness.”
After Bei Yutang finished speaking, she looked at Butler Sen.
“If I remember correctly, there were a lot of mixed flowers used as decoration on the dinner table yesterday. I think that’s when I inhaled the fragrance of the mixed flowers, and then after entering the library, I smelled the silkworm grass that the murderer had prepared beforehand, causing me to fall into a coma without realizing it.”
Bei Yutang found the reason for her unconsciousness, but a question arose in her heart.
Was the murderer deliberately targeting her, or was it unintentional?
Unintentional?
This answer was immediately rejected by her.
If the murderer intended to attack her last night, why would the murderer also attack Gongsun Mingyue?
The two scenarios were too contradictory.
What puzzled her even more was that, given the murderer’s meticulousness, the murderer had failed in their first attack on Gongsun Mingyue.
There were too many inexplicable reasons that prevented her from figuring out who the culprit was.
But now she was certain of one thing: these events were man-made, not the work of ghosts.
After hearing this, everyone turned to look at Butler Sen and Ah Hua. They were in charge of dinner, so naturally, suspicion fell on them.
Just then, Li Mengmeng exclaimed, “I remember!”
“What do you remember?” Yan Jin asked.
“That poem. Do you remember that poem?”
“Just say what you want to say. Stop beating around the bush!” Feng Qing said impatiently.
Li Mengmeng ignored Feng Qing’s hostile attitude.
She had already memorized the poem.
“If you don’t understand in this life, no one will ask about the fallen flowers outside the door; change your appearance and realize your past life, and you’ll know all is vanity after death. Take the first character of each line and put them together to form what sentence?”
Yan Jin frowned: “You, door, change, die.”
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, “You deserve to die!”
“Yes, you deserve to die.” Li Mengmeng’s cold gaze turned to Butler Sen.
“Butler Sen gave us this poem. Since we arrived here a few days ago, one person has died every day. Isn’t that fulfilling the poem?”
The group of people who arrived on the island immediately gathered together, their eyes warily fixed on Butler Sen and Ah Hua.
“You are the murderers.” Li Mengmeng pointed at Butler Sen and Ah Hua.
Faced with their accusations, Butler Sen’s expression remained unchanged, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.
He calmly stated, “That poem was likely a coincidence.”
“And what about the mixed flowers?” Feng Qing asked coldly.
“That was also a coincidence. Mixed flowers are abundant on the island; it’s normal for us to use them for decoration.” Butler Sen explained.
His explanation failed to convince anyone.
Bei Yutang was somewhat certain that even if Butler Sen wasn’t the murderer, he must have had contact with the murderer, or he knew who the murderer was.
Of course, it was also possible that he was the murderer.
However, there was currently no evidence to prove he was the murderer.
“Arrest them both.” Feng Qing ordered sternly.
Seeing them approach to arrest them, Ah Hua hurriedly protested, “We’re not the murderers!”
