Chapter 73 The Last Supper of the Glutton? The Devil Lies in the Napkin!

Night fell, like a giant black veil, shrouding Jiangcheng.

This top-tier seafood restaurant is brightly lit, its dazzling lights resembling a diamond set in the city night.

Inside the restaurant, crystal chandeliers refracted dazzling light, and well-dressed guests clinked glasses, filling the air with an atmosphere of extravagance that blended money with top-quality ingredients.

"Sir, here is your Australian lobster."

Lin Chen carried a huge silver platter, a professional smile on his face, and bowed slightly as he presented the food on the platter.

He was dressed in a smart waiter's uniform, which made his figure appear even taller and more slender. His face was so handsome that it was almost excessive, attracting the attention of several wealthy young ladies at the next table, who frequently glanced at him and whispered among themselves.

Not far away, Su Qingge had transformed into the restaurant's head waitress.

She changed into a well-tailored black business suit; beneath the taut fabric, her body curves resembled a fully drawn bow, poised to be released.

Her long hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head, her face was expressionless, and her cold aura that kept strangers at bay was three times stronger than that of a real restaurant manager.

In the kitchen and at each exit, Li Mingyu was leading a team of police officers, ready for action.

He spoke into the walkie-talkie with a confident and steady tone.

"Attention all units! Stay at your posts! Not even a fly can be let out!"

"The murderer thinks he can take action under our police's tight net? He's dreaming!"

He seemed to foresee that, under his brilliant command, the criminals would surrender without resistance, and he would receive Su Qingge's approving gaze.

As for Lin Chen, who was assigned to be a waiter?

It's just bait to draw fire.

The one who truly controls the overall situation is Vice Captain Li.

The atmosphere was most lively at the main table in the very center of the banquet hall.

Qian Dafu, the star of the evening, sat in the main seat with a radiant face.

His enormous body almost burst the specially made mahogany chair, and the dining table in front of him was piled high with lobsters, abalone, and king crabs, a dazzling array that resembled a small mountain of seafood.

"Haha, eat up! Don't be shy, it's on me today!"

While mumbling incoherently, Qian Dafu reached out and grabbed a huge Boston lobster, roughly broke open the shell, and stuffed the succulent meat into his mouth.

Oil dripped from the corner of his mouth onto his expensive custom-made suit, but he didn't seem to care.

That greedy and ugly way of eating was the perfect embodiment of the word "binge eating".

Lin Chen carried an empty plate and moved unnoticed through the noisy crowd.

His eyes seemed to casually sweep over each guest, but at that moment his vision transformed into a high-precision microscope, dissecting the entire banquet hall into countless flowing details and data.

Everyone who gets close to Qian Dafu is instantly analyzed in his field of vision.

[Name: Zhang San. Sin Value: 10. Crime: Tax evasion.]

[Name: Li Si. Sin Value: 5. Crime: Spitting indiscriminately.]

Waiter? That's normal.

Guests? That's normal.

No one had a crime score high enough to warrant suspicion, and no one was carrying any suspicious liquid.

Where is the killer?

How could he deliver that deadly phosphorus solution to Qian Dafu without anyone noticing?

Time passed by, second by second.

Qian Dafu's mouth and hands were greasy from eating.

He let out a satisfied burp, reached out and grabbed a king crab leg he had just finished gnawing on, and picked his teeth.

After doing all this, he casually picked up a neatly folded white napkin from the table, resembling a work of art, and prepared to wipe his oily, greasy, fat face.

This is the moment!

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted into dangerously small pinpoints!

Something is wrong!

Under the extreme magnification of [God-level Insight], every detail of that napkin was laid bare in his eyes!

Its creases are too stiff!

A normal pure cotton napkin should be soft and supple when folded.

This piece, however, has a stiff feel, like paper that has been soaked and then dried!

Under the illumination of the crystal chandelier, the surface of the napkin reflected a very faint, almost imperceptible, oily sheen.

Even more deadly!

His nose, modified by the [Advanced Physique Enhancer], accurately detected a faint, almost imperceptible chemical scent, like that of a rotten apple, amidst countless rich food aromas!

Carbon disulfide!

In the blink of an eye, all the clues were connected in Lin Chen's mind!

The killer didn't need to bring the liquid in at all!

This napkin is the murder weapon!

The murderer had already soaked the napkin in white phosphorus solution, and then, after the solvent evaporated, replaced the restaurant's original napkin with one containing countless white phosphorus particles!

Qian Dafu had just finished a hearty meal, his body temperature was high, and his face was covered in grease.

The moment this napkin touches his warm skin, the white phosphorus on it will instantly reach its ignition point of 40 degrees Celsius!

And the oil on his face will become the perfect fuel for combustion!

At that time, Qian Dafu will be burned alive, starting from his head, until he is a charred mess, all under the watchful eyes of everyone!

A perfect, unstoppable, public trial!

All of this thought took less than 0.1 seconds.

There was no time to explain!

"Don't move!"

Lin Chen roared, instantly shattering the extravagant atmosphere of the banquet hall!

"Put down that napkin!"
