Chapter 2086 The Interrogation

“Yes, Ms. Felch.” Robin left at once to execute her orders. “Now, I wish to examine the master tap of your water source, the tap in your room, and the storage room.” Francesca picked up her backpack. “I’ll come with you.”

William made a gesture, and a servant stepped forth at once to wheel him to accompany Francesca in her investigation. “Are you suspecting somebody of poisoning the water source, Frannie?” William asked.

“You should have already guessed that you’ve been poisoned and had quietly conducted an investigation,” Francesca inferred. “You are so clever.” William sighed.

“Through your prior investigation, it’s plain that the kitchen and everywhere else contained nothing out of the ordinary. If that’s the case, the problem lies in the dark,” Francesca surmised. “Aside from the water source and the storage room, I can’t think of anywhere else.”

“We have considered the water source actually,” William said. “Everybody in the castle drink from the same source I do. How would they be fine if the water source is contaminated?”

“How do you know they are fine?” Francesca argued. William was taken aback. The servants began to panic.

“All of your brows are unnaturally dark,” Francesca declared gravely. “That is a symptom of mild poisoning. The poison showed upon your brow because of the nature of your constitution and your consumption of medication. That explains why your reaction is more visible. To be blunt, if I came over in another few months, I’m afraid that not a single living thing would be left in this castle. It will have become a ghost town!”

At those words, everybody turned pale with fright.

“How vicious of them!”

William shook with anger. Usually calm and assertive, he could not control his emotions at that moment.

“Fortunately, it’s not too late.”

Francesca then examined the water source and discovered something. The poison was subtle and difficult to trace but would become fatal after a long and gradual accumulation within the body.

William’s bodily reaction to it appeared quickly, firstly because he was a yearlong invalid of a weak constitution and secondly because he had been consuming Francesca’s medicine.

The reaction arose because the medicine clashed with the poison.
