Chapter 765: The Carrier of Verines’ Poisoning
"First, call Mr. Clement. The CIA has seriously crossed the line with this operation."
Roan held up his crutches, and under Winslow's speechless gaze, he regained his weak appearance and said:
"In addition, Dick Lawrence just said that he had called his superiors using a disposable phone not long ago.
Mona, see if you can find the mysterious superior through the number of the disposable phone or the signal base station."
Mona nodded:
"I'll try."
Roan touched his chin and continued to analyze:
"The murder of "Blue Eyes Roy" and the prison riot, I We can now basically determine that there is a certain connection between the two.
The specific connection is not clear for the time being. Lacey is investigating and it will take time.
Michelle is sorting out the information of the nuclear laboratory under Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company, which also needs time.
In addition to these two things, it is still unclear who poisoned Verines.
Winslow, go and call Chenier, and we will investigate this together. "
"No problem!"
————
The next day, Luo An led Chenier and Winslow to the warehouse where the five agents under Verines were located.
At this time, the five agents had been taken away by Mr. Clement for "training", but in fact they were for short-term observation just in case.
Luo An and the other two went to the abandoned warehouse, mainly to investigate the items used and food eaten by Verines and others during the investigation of the case.
According to Agent Susan, all the food during their investigation was purchased on the same day.
"10 hours before Verines was poisoned..."
Chenelle took Agent Susan's notes, flipped through them carefully for a while, and said:
"The food consumed by their investigation team includes mineral water and milk left over from the previous day; breakfast is sandwiches and toast; lunch is pizza; dinner includes roast beef and big hamburgers."
"Common food."
Luo An nodded. The people of the Federation are different from those on the other side of the ocean. Even if they go out to perform a mission, unless it is an extremely special situation, the food must be fresh and hot.
For this reason, every time the special investigation team goes out to perform a mission, food is a huge expense.
Luo An doesn't feel much about this. First, the special investigation team has money and doesn't lack this little food; second, this is the folk custom of the Federation, and it is more appropriate to follow the local customs.
Winslow looked at the records and said in a deep voice:
"These foods were purchased by Agent Susan using a temporary phone number unrelated to the mission, and the deliveryman was asked to deliver them to an uninhabited house far away, and then she went to pick them up.
During this period, except for Agent Susan, the only people who could touch these foods were the deliverymen of various stores.
However, Agent Susan did not buy food from the same store every day, and the deliverymen were different every time..."
At the end, Winslow frowned and said:
"To be honest, I do suspect that it was Agent Susan who poisoned them."
"Check the local "The information of the three deliverymen in the world."
Roan said to Chenier, then patted Winslow on the shoulder and smiled:
"Agent Susan is a smart person. She is in charge of food and belongs to the first tier of suspects.
If she poisons the food, the risk factor of her exposure is too high."
"That's right."
Winslow nodded. He originally wanted to say whether it was possible that Agent Susan was layering one layer, knowing that she was the most suspicious, so she deliberately poisoned and disguised another layer, making others suspect herself first, and then dispel the suspicion and mistakenly think it was not her.
But thinking that Roan had completed the interrogation of the five agents before, and Roan's "micro-expression analysis" was almost error-free, Winslow finally chose to believe Roan.
At this moment, Chenier came over and frowned:
"Roan, I checked. The three deliverymen are still at work. Their whereabouts are normal. There is nothing wrong."
Winslow frowned when he heard this. He thought for a few seconds and finally looked at Roan. He was not good at analysis. It was best to follow Roan's arrangement.
Roan was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly thought of something. He said in a deep voice:
"Which coffee did Verines drink?"
"Coffee? What coffee?"
Chenier picked up the notebook and looked at it, puzzled:
"It doesn't say Verines bought coffee."
"No, Verines must have drunk coffee."
Roan shook his head repeatedly. He knew Verines' habits very well. Verines was often a workaholic and could hardly live without coffee.
Once Roan complained that the coffee in the office was not good, Verines changed all the coffee in her office the next day and changed it to a brand that Roan thought was very good.
There was no need to tell Chenille and Winslow about the latter matter, so Luo An took out his cell phone and called Verinice.
Knowing that Luo An suspected that the carrier of his poisoning was coffee, Verines was also stunned for a moment. She really didn't think about this aspect. She always thought that the food she bought during the mission was poisoned.
"I did take a lot of coffee, that is, the ones in my office, Luo An, you have also drunk them."
Verines thought carefully while speaking, and her face suddenly became gloomy halfway through:
"Luo An, I remembered something.
Before carrying out this secret investigation mission, I saw that there was not much coffee left in the office, and I was worried that it would take a long time to carry out the mission, so I bought some temporarily.
I put the newly bought coffee together with the unfinished old coffee.
During the investigation mission, I drank up the old coffee first, and then drank the new coffee.
The next day after drinking the new coffee, I was tested for polonium 210 poisoning!"
Speaking of this, a chill surged from Verines' lumbar spine to the back of her head. She only felt that the hair on her body stood up, and her face became very ugly.
The act of buying new coffee beans was her impromptu decision. If the mastermind really poisoned her in this way, it means that the mastermind knows her living habits very well, and also knows exactly that she is going to carry out this investigation mission in secret!
In short, the mastermind knows Verines very well!
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, Verines' pupils shrank suddenly, and she realized another thing, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said:
"Luo An! If the person behind me knows me so well, I'm afraid he knows you very well!"
"I understand."
Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, and he quickly thought of this aspect.
A series of possibilities flashed through his mind, and Luo An whispered:
"Sir, I will contact Mr. Clement immediately and ask him to send more people to protect you."
Mr. Clement only sent five agents to guard outside Verines' ward. In this situation, Luo An felt that this number should at least double.
"Don't worry about that. I'll call."
Compared to herself, Verines is more worried about Roan now, and said in a deep voice:
"You must be more careful during the investigation! And your agents, be sure to keep an eye on them!"
"Okay, sir."
After a brief discussion, Roan hung up the phone and looked at Chenier and Winslow, briefly explained the situation, and said in a deep voice:
"Next, we will mainly investigate who has come into contact with the new coffee that Verines bought."
Winslow nodded with a serious expression, and Chenier opened her mouth to say something. Seeing this, Roan frowned slightly:
"Chenier, do you find anything?"
"I want to say..."
Chenier was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and whispered:
"I think I know who sent the coffee to Verines."
