After listening, Shu Li noticed a suspicious point in the reporting mission.
But on second thought, Shu Li felt that she was overthinking, so she didn't say anything.
Several people walked to the viewing balcony together and observed the scene carefully.
Boss Su was still half lying on the armchair, and his expression was not very ferocious. He was no different from a normal person sleeping.
However, there was no pink-purple powder left on the skin between Boss Su's mouth and nose, and his upper lip was also a little red and swollen.
In addition, there was a not very obvious strangulation mark on his neck.
Foreman Gu and Long Guo stood at the front and carefully lifted Boss Su to the ground. On the chair under him, a small white card appeared.
Everyone read it one by one, and there were only four words on it: See you or not.
On the other side, Shu Li knelt down to look at Boss Su. With an expressionless face, she was about to take off Boss Su's clothes and check the injuries on her body.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stopped by Foreman Gu.
"?"
Foreman Gu frowned: "There are men here, so ladies should wait to hear the results."
"!" Shu Li rolled her eyes, avoided his hand and took off Boss Su's shirt: "Brothers, take medicine when you are sick."
She quickly started to look at the injuries on her boss Su's body, and Leyan also came over to join them.
Boss Su had no wounds or marks on his upper body, but there was a red scar shaped like a plum blossom on his ankle.
After viewing the body, they searched the surrounding area.
There are two pieces of peeling paint not far apart on the railing next to the balcony, as if they were scratched hard.
Several pots of green plants on the side still had crumbling drops of water hanging on them, as if someone had just watered them.
Finally, right above the balcony, hangs the familiar silk doll, but now it is pure white, but covered with pink and purple pollen, which is constantly shaking off.
And directly below it is a pot of gladioli that has mostly withered.
"So, it is tentatively concluded that Boss Su died from the pollen on the tip of his nose. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone returned to the living room, and Foreman Gu was the first to make a conclusion.
But what he said was right.
The marks of being strangled on the neck were not very obvious and could not be the cause of death.
While the traces on the ankles provided no clues for the time being, the pink and purple pollen did make them intuitively aware of its toxins.
Everyone else agreed, and Foreman Gu continued: "Then we can find out who has been exposed to this pollen and how the red spots on his feet came from."
"Indeed." Sister Meng nodded: "I can directly admit that I came into contact with that pink-purple flower when preparing the bouquet, but I didn't know it was poisonous."
As she spoke, she raised her right hand, her white fingertips stained with pollen.
Although there was only a shallow layer, her fingertips were already red and swollen, and her nails were showing signs of falling off.
"We don't rule out the possibility that you used this pollen on Boss Su after you discovered it was poisonous." Foreman Gu added.
Sister Meng did not refute: "That's right, but the time I was poisoned was at 6:55. When the housekeeper gave me the medicine, everyone else heard about it."
Her eyes drifted to Shu Li: "Even Shu Miaohua was there at that time."
The situation was exactly as she said. At that point in time, Shu Li had changed her clothes and was about to go out. Everyone else was also getting ready in the living room. Everyone knew it except the head waiter who was busy in the restaurant.
"Let's talk about our respective timelines first, and then we'll search the room together."
Foreman Gu finished speaking, and after everyone else agreed, he spoke first: "After watching Shu's magic show, I returned to the villa and have been busy cooperating with the housekeeper on everyone's meals or other needs."
"At 7:35, I went upstairs to get something for Sister Meng. Because the thing she was looking for was no longer in its original location, I looked for it for a while and came downstairs ten minutes later."
"At 8:12, Boss Su and Le Qianjin suddenly quarreled. I didn't hear the specific conversation, but I vaguely heard words like "curse" and "rejection." Le Qianjin didn't convince Boss Su to change his mind, and he got angry Ran out."
"At 8:20, the housekeeper came back and informed Le Qianjin that she was playing on the cruise ship."
"At 9 o'clock, because tonight's events were very unpleasant, everyone dispersed in a hurry. I tidied up the living room and returned to my room to rest."
"Then it was 11 o'clock. I heard a scream while I was half asleep. When I went downstairs, I saw the soaked bodies of Le Qianjin and Boss Su."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the cold tea on the coffee table and took a sip. He looked very ordinary.
Long Guo suddenly spoke: "Did you miss information? Didn't you and Mengye have a quarrel?"
"That's Sister Meng's information, I can let her tell you later." Foreman Gu's eyes fell on Le Yan: "On the contrary, I am more curious about the reason for the quarrel between Boss Su and Le Qianjin?"
"The engagement party is not the reason why he came to Star Island." Le Yan shrugged and let himself lean on the back of the soft sofa: "He wanted to use some method to obtain other people's wealth, so as to escape his father's shadow."
"After watching the magic show, when I returned to the villa, Boss Su took me to the viewing balcony and said he had something very important to tell me."
"At that time, everyone was in the living room. I suggested going back upstairs to chat, but he insisted that he felt more at ease here."
"The content of the matter is the truth of this sea journey."
Le Yan extracted the key content of what Boss Su told her as concisely as possible and said it succinctly.
A year ago, Boss Su's father mentioned to his aunt the idea of getting Sister Meng back, but Boss Su heard it and was very resistant, so the matter was temporarily shelved.
But because of this, Boss Su's father began to vigorously suppress his scope of power, and continued to provide subsidies to the aunt's family who raised Sister Meng.
Boss Su is a relatively mediocre person, and of course he cannot defeat the scheming old fox.
Not long ago, he met Le Qianjin, and the two quickly got together. For the sake of face, Boss Su was temporarily let go by his father and had a chance to breathe.
