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’lle with you.”


    William made a gesture, and a servant stepped forth at once to wheel him to apany 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 in 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 dered 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 exins 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 be 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 toote.”


    Francesca then examined the water source and discovered something. The poison was subtle and difficult to trace


    but would be fatal after a long and gradual umtion 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 shed with the poison.


    It was also due to the reaction’s speed that precautions could be taken on time.


    Otherwise, William would only exhibit symptoms several monthster like the others. By then, Francesca would not


    be able to do anything, no matter how prodigious her medical skills were.


    Before apanying Francesca to investigate the storage room, William had somebody turn off the water supply.


    She looked around closely and found a box of sealed essential oils.


    She had somebody open it, then personally examine a sample with a silver needle, only to discover something


    wrong with the bottle of oil.


    “These essential oils are specially for my use,” William exined. “As I suffer from insomnia, I requirevender to


    induce sleep. I have been ordering them from an old friend, and he probably wouldn’t harm me…”


    “I don’t know who it is that is harming you. The bottom line is that there is something wrong with the essential oils.”


    She was sure as she went on, “I am only responsible for identifying thingsced with poison. As for the person who


    did it, you need to figure that out yourself.”


    “Understood.” William nodded.


    At that moment, a servant came to report that the crowd had gathered at the door in wait.


    Francesca and William headed toward the door. “Have there been any neers to the castle ofte?”


    “No, it’s always been the loyal servants left by my parents,” Williammented. “Only some close bodyguards


    around me were hired two years ago. The rest have been around for a while. I don’t think they would harm me.”


    “I hope so. But man’s motives remain unfathomable.”


    Francesca did not say much else as she followed William to the entrance.


    Bodyguards, soldiers, maids, and servants who totaled up to seventy to eighty stood in a neat row at the entrance


    to await Francesca’s interrogation.


    The bodyguards and the soldiers appeared rtively calm as they were used to significant events.


    On the other hand, the servants and the maids stood shivering in nervousness and fear.
