To further verify the toxicity of the water, Gao Siming did not bother An Dingsi and Li Nan, but instead sent two pairs of baby hamsters via same-city express delivery.
Before 4 p.m., the hamster meal had been delivered to Gao Siming.
After changing the water in the hamster's water bottle from the mineral water bottle, Gao Siming quietly watched and waited.
After about an hour, the hamster, tired from playing on the wheel, climbed to the water dispenser to drink.
One minute later, the symptoms were the same as Xiaohua's.
Gao Siming opened the cage, removed the hamster carcass, and continued the experiment.
The other three hamsters, unaware of their friend's departure, came to the water fountain to drink water again when they were thirsty.
The second one, the third one, the fourth one...
At 7 p.m., all four mice died.
Gao Siming didn't say anything. He tidied up the four little hamsters and buried them with Xiao Hua in a corner of the yard, under the plum blossom tree.
At that moment, Gao Siming suddenly recalled the scene in the comic where Ming Shigao personally buried Zhuang Die.
What must Ming Shigao have been feeling at that time?
Having confirmed that the water was poisoned, Gao Siming began to investigate how the murderer had poisoned it.
Upon closer inspection of the two rims of the bucket, Gao Siming discovered something amiss.
In the center of the bucket, on the slanted hook of the character "water" in the sticker, there is a tiny pinhole.
Perhaps because the eye of the needle was too small, only a few water droplets leaked out.
If Gao Siming hadn't specifically checked, no one would have noticed this slight loss of moisture.
Gao Siming found a large basin, put on latex gloves, and poured all the remaining water into the basin.
After another careful search, there was nothing!
"This is interesting!"
The needle hole on the bucket is very small. Given the weight and hardness of the bucket itself, a regular syringe cannot inject directly into such a small hole.
If it were a poisoned needle piercing through, the search in the large basin just now told Gao Siming that it shouldn't be like that.
How did the murderer do it?
There is only one possibility: a highly toxic substance that dissolves rapidly in water, molded under high pressure into the shape of a fine needle, and then given extremely high speed by some kind of pressure device.
The truth is that the conditions for achieving this are extremely demanding; it requires large equipment and close-range launch to even have a slight chance of success!
It's obvious that carrying buckets of water into the yard is something a water delivery guy can't do.
So, who is the murderer?
It was already past 8 p.m., and with a bit of a train of thought, Gao Siming realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day.
Although he wasn't hungry yet, Gao Siming went to the kitchen and grabbed some food to fill his stomach.
Returning to the monitoring room to continue the investigation, Gao Siming fixed the time around the water delivery and expanded the scope to include everything around the villa and any living creature that passed by it.
In the half hour that followed, a total of eleven vehicles passed by, but only one van was suspicious.
The van was supposed to pass by the young man, but it stopped for a minute or two, as if it was waiting for him to pass by.
After the young man entered the villa, the car drove away. Gao Siming noted down the license plate number and dialed Li Nan's number.
"Manager Li, I've run into a problem today and I need your help!"
As soon as Li Nan heard Gao Siming call her "boss," she knew it couldn't be anything good.
"Good brother, tell me what it is first, as long as I don't make any mistakes!"
With the year drawing to a close, the city's campaign to promote civility is currently in its crucial stage, and almost everyone at the Anding Division is so busy that they're practically living at the division headquarters.
"Li the Fool, would I harm you? It's just a small matter, you can make a phone call!"
Gao Siming made up a reason and gave Li Nan the license plate number of the minivan, asking him to help check it.
"Brother Gao, I seriously doubt your reasoning. It's too lame. You would be interested in a girl who drives a minivan?"
"Keep it low-key, just keep this to yourself and me. Don't tell Qin Wen, or my sister will come and make me come to propose marriage!"
"cut!"
Li Nan hung up the phone with a disdainful expression and went straight to the Sun Patrol Section office.
Finding the owner of a vehicle by license plate number is a piece of cake for Anding Company.
After finding out the information, Li Nan called Gao Siming back.
"Found it! The car is registered to Jiri Aquatic Products Company. Brother Gao, you're a liar!"
"Li the Fool is pretty efficient, you've got news so quickly. Just wait and see, I'll go to this company and find you a sister-in-law!"
"Great! I'll treat you to an oyster feast then!"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Siming seemed to be deep in thought. A seafood company, then, isn't the murderer quite obvious?
Gao Siming picked up the bucket again and continued to examine her. "This girl's skills are pretty good, and her ideas are quite good too! Now that you've learned to take the initiative, it would be too inconsiderate of me not to reciprocate!"
"Brother!" Dog Egg's voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Brother, there's been a bit of an unexpected situation. I think Peng Yuanyuan's plan to close in will have to be delayed a little!"
"Dog Egg, what's up?"
"Let me explain it myself!" A strange female voice echoed in Gao Siming's mind.
"I am Rose!"
...
Lakeside Moonlight Residential Complex, Building 68.
Maria put down her binoculars. "Strange, he's still alive? And he ordered another bucket of water? What incredible luck!"
"No, I need to think of another way. He doesn't leave the house even once a month. It's really too difficult to outsmart him!"
"Sister, how about we just let it go? The comic is finished, and Qingyu has vented his anger. Let's not have any more entanglements with him, okay?"
