The two of them discussed this and entered the inquiry room in the inner room.

Liu Xuetian was sitting at the table, staring blankly. He was not a suspect, so he would not handcuff him.

Bai Yutang sat down and observed the vicissitudes of the reporter in front of him.

Liu Xuetian looked much older than his actual age. He had a beard, was wearing outdated clothes, old glasses, swollen eyes, and obvious dark circles... He looked like he was exhausted, one hand was in his pocket, as if he was holding something, while the other hand gently and regularly tapped the tabletop.

Zhan Zhao was also observing Liu Xuetian, but unlike Bai Yutang's observation, he always stared at Liu Xuetian's eyes.

Outside the SLR glass, everyone else of SCI came to listen, and Zhao Jue also came. He glanced at him and laughed in meaninglessly, seemingly lacking interest.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao—This one looked like a maniac, otherwise you would come?

Zhan Zhao put down all the information in his hand, which seemed a little disappointed. He shook his head at Bai Yutang, "Just ask directly, he is pretending to be crazy."

Bai Yutang was stunned.

Everyone at the door was also stunned.

"Pretending crazy?" Bai Yutang turned his face to look at Liu Xuetian, "Have you been pretending crazy for so many years?"

Liu Xuetian didn't speak at this time. He looked at Zhan Zhao, then at the SLR glass, and finally turned his face to look at the camera in the corner.

"This is not a formal interrogation, it's just an inquiry, so no one recorded the video." Zhan Zhao raised his legs and asked Liu Xuetian, "Are you pretending to be crazy to save your life?"

Finally, Liu Xuetian took off his glasses and said expressionlessly, "I'm not trying to save my life."

"Are you family?" Bai Yutang asked.

Liu Xuetian laughed and said, "I want to smoke a cigarette."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly. He himself hated the smell of cigarettes, but according to the information, Liu Xuetian is an old cigarette gun. He probably hadn't smoked for a long time after he went crazy. Moreover, Bai Yutang was very curious about his feat of pretending to be crazy than crazy, so he waved to the outside world.

The door to the inquiry room opened, and Mahan came in with a cigarette, ashtray and a lighter.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao held the awareness of smoking second-hand smoke and asked Liu Xuetian to smoke while talking.

After taking a sip of cigarette, Liu Xuetian breathed a long breath, then started coughing, and squeezed out the cigarette in the ashtray. He smiled bitterly, "I used to think I would never quit, but I didn't expect that I haven't smoked in the past few years, but now I'm not used to it!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows - the principle of quitting smoking is the same as quitting any addiction. The so-called quitting means staying away. When you get used to staying away from something, you will quit.

"When I was rushing for manuscripts, I had to pump four or five packs a day." Liu Xuetian laughed, "Maybe I didn't pretend to be crazy, I'm dead of lung cancer now."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't have much intention to chat with him. The two asked him bluntly, "Why are you pretending to be crazy?"

Liu Xuetian was ignorant and silent for a long time, saying, "I thought there were doubts about Josh's kidnapping case, so I investigated in depth... Unfortunately, I went too far."

"Are you not excited to find out that there are secrets behind the incident?" Zhan Zhao asked him back.

Liu Xuetian nodded, "I was really excited at first, but now thinking about it, I still don't know how high the world is." As he said that, his face suddenly changed and he said seriously, "Josh and his mother are not normal people at all... or to be precise, the mother and son are not ordinary people at all!"

Zhan Zhao was very interested, "Oh?"

"His mother is a monster. I think the case is strange, so I dig deeper into her background." Liu Xuetian said, reaching out and touching his mouth. From his series of unconscious actions, Zhan Zhao could see that he was very nervous and... afraid at this time.

Liu Xuetian took a deep breath and said, "Josh's kidnapping case was planned by Josh himself."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "What is his purpose?"

"He wants to kill his father Qiao Yuanxin!" Liu Xuetian was a little excited, "and he wants a bracelet from Qiao Yuanxin's hand!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang did learn from previous investigations that in addition to the huge ransom, the kidnappers asked for a string of bracelets. The convergence should be part of the "seal" and part of the "contact point".

"What else do you know?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I... cough... cough..." Liu Xuetian suddenly started to cough, as if he was having difficulty breathing.

Outside the window, Zhao Jue reached out and pressed the window, staring at Liu Xuetian's reaction intently, with a little surprised in his eyes.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both stood up.

Bai Yutang held Liu Xuetian, who could no longer breathe, opened his mouth and grabbed his neck with his hands.

Zhan Zhao went to look at his eyes.

In the chaos, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang smelled the clear smell of almonds in Liu Xuetian's mouth... cyanide & chemicals & poisons?!

Liu Xuetian struggled fiercely, and in despair, he put his hand into his pocket of clothes, took out something, and stuffed it into Zhan Zhao's hand, staring at the ceiling with his eyes tightly...

When Gongsun and Ma Xin took the first aid kit and rushed into the inquiry room, Liu Xuetian had already died.

Gongsun checked the body and looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao regretfully, "Cyanide & Chemical & Pharmaceuticals & Poison."

Bai Yutang felt evil when he stood there - how could he get poisoned by cyanide & chemicals? They were all in a closed space. What did Liu Xuetian eat during this process?

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously went to see what Liu Xuetian had just come into contact with... cigarettes, ashtrays and lighters.

Then, everyone looked at Ma Han.

Ma Han also felt inexplicably, "I smoke cigarettes normally, and the ashtray and lighter were taken from the SCI office..."

Zhan Zhao suddenly reached out and spread his hand to Gongsun, "Test this to see if there is any poison on it."

When Gongsun and others saw that there was a triangular thing made of yellow paper in Zhan Zhao's hand, which looked like some kind of amulet with a pattern drawn with cinnabar on it.

"This..." Ma Xin ran to get a certificate bag, which contained a talisman that Luo Tian had just found from under the flowerpot of Qiao Yuanxin's flower house.

Put the two things together and compare them.

Gongsun concluded from a scientific identification perspective, "It was done by one person!"

After the forensics department was asked to make the appraisal, it turns out... this talisman and Liu Xuetian had cyanide and chemicals on his hands, even Zhan Zhao's hands, cigarettes and lighters.

Under Gongsun's supervision, Zhan Zhao washed his hands and no one spoke. First, it was a pity that Liu Xuetian died under their noses, and second, everyone thought of the key figure who had always appeared in the kidnapping of Qiao Xi - Shi Hou Tian.

It seems that he is the only one who has something to do with the yellow paper talisman and amulet.

Zhan Zhao sighed. Liu Xuetian should have found many secrets, so he was killed to silence him. When he was nervous, he would reach out to wipe his mouth and lick his lips... In addition, the cigarette just now was poisonous, and he would definitely die. But everyone was wondering... Why did he hold such a talisman? According to the toxicity of cyanide & chemical substances, Liu Xuetian should have just obtained this talisman, maybe before being caught by Luo Tian and the others.

In addition... Was Liu Xuetian arrested on purpose? It was also a question of scrutiny, but unfortunately... all clues were hidden with his death.

Just when everyone was hit and was depressed, the elevator door opened and the charlatan Zhang Yu walked out.

Zhang Yu held a cell phone in his hand, helpless, "Although it is an obligation for the police and the public to cooperate, it is not good for you to force me from the crematorium when I hold a funeral for someone."

Before he could finish complaining, Gongsun showed him the spell and amulet and asked, "Do you know me?"

Zhang Yu stared at the two things for about three seconds and nodded, "I know you."

Everyone looked up.

Zhang Yu looked confused, "Are the amulets and spells..."

Everyone was discouraged.

Zhang Yu spoke first, "I probably know who made it."

Everyone once again ignited the fire of hope and looked at Zhang Yu.

"Do you know where to find someone who makes the talisman?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao was also excited, "Hurry up! Maybe he will run away!"
