Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Chapter 1337 - 1336

The purser’s face changed, and she realized something. Little Yi just said Lin Fan drank the water, but at this moment, the bottle in Lin Fan’s hand hadn’t even been opened. That is to say, Little Yi lied to her.She knew Little Yi well and didn’t think she had any motive to lie, so it could only be Lin Fan who instructed her.

The purser forced a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, you’ve called me over. What’s your command?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You’ve been busy all day; it must be tiring. Come sit down and have a drink of water first."

The purser said, "No need to be polite. This water is the one I asked Little Yi to give you."

Lin Fan said, "I’m not thirsty. You better drink it."

Before she could refuse, Lin Fan had already shoved the bottle of mineral water into her hand.

The purser chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, you didn’t call me over just to make me drink water, did you? I’m not thirsty, so I’ll save it for later."

Little Yi, who was nearby, was a bit curious. Why were they insisting back and forth? It’s just a bottle of water, and there’s plenty of supply on the plane. Anyone would think there’s a water shortage on board.

"I’m a bit thirsty; let me drink it!" Little Yi laughed, then reached out to take the water from the purser, twisted open the cap, and was about to drink.

Seeing that she was about to pour the water into her mouth.

"Don’t drink it!"

The purser shouted, and in desperation, she reached out and knocked the bottle from Little Yi’s hand to the ground.

Water spilled everywhere.

Little Yi was stunned: "Purser, why?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "She stopped you from drinking because she knows there’s poison in the water. If you drink it, you’ll end up like those three guys, bleeding from your orifices and dying. Am I right?"

Little Yi was taken aback: "Purser, is this true? Is there poison in the water? How did you know?"

Lin Fan said, "The purser gave you this water to bring to me because she knew I trusted you. So, when you brought the water, I mostly wouldn’t pay it any mind. Yes, who would pay attention to an ordinary bottle of water? When someone hands you water, you naturally open it and take a sip; it’s a natural thing, and you’re unwittingly hit."

Little Yi realized, surprised: "Does this mean, Purser, it was you who poisoned? Why would you want to harm Mr. Lin?"

Lin Fan looked at the purser: "I want to know the answer, too."

The purser laughed: "You must be joking, Mr. Lin! How could there be poison in this water? I don’t know why you would joke about this."

Lin Fan said, "Then why were you in such a hurry to knock the bottle away just now?"

The purser said, "I was a bit angry at Little Yi. She should know her place. This water was meant for Mr. Lin; what right does she have to drink it? As the purser, I need to discipline my subordinates, right?"

Lin Fan said, "Are you sure there’s no poison in the water?"

The purser said, "I don’t know. How could there be poison in an ordinary bottle of water? I’m really confused, Mr. Lin. How did you know there was poison in it?"

Lin Fan said, "I observed it. This bottle hasn’t been opened, but someone injected poison into it with a needle. The method is skillful and done very discreetly. Plus, most people lack vigilance against sealed bottles, making it hard to notice."

Observed!

The purser chuckled: "Mr. Lin, your observational skills are impressive, indeed. I admire them. But even if you have keen eyes, you shouldn’t wrongly accuse good people. Yes, I asked Little Yi to bring the water to you, but it was out of kindness, just a small concern. I didn’t know it was poisoned. Who would do such a thing! Mr. Lin should not be so reckless!"

Lin Fan said, "Indeed, concluding that you’re the poisoner from this is a bit reckless, not rigorous enough. Perhaps someone else poisoned it, and it was unintentional on your part."

The purser said, "Exactly! Mr. Lin, you’ve indeed done a great job today, saving lives. Everyone seems to think highly of you now. But Mr. Lin, don’t get carried away and don’t wrong innocent people. Although I’m not as great as Mr. Lin, I have been running around all day. I have some credit, don’t I? The way you acted just now really chills me."

Hearing this, Little Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. With a simple mind, she realized she also wrongly accused the purser earlier and felt embarrassed.

"Purser, I’m sorry..." Little Yi apologized to the purser.

But the purser looked at Lin Fan: "Little Yi is my subordinate. I accept her apology. Mr. Lin, you don’t need to apologize to me. Rather than wasting time on me, continue to investigate the real villain, so as not to waste time."

After saying this, the purser turned around and walked out.

The situation was a bit awkward.

Lin Fan called the purser over for questioning because he noticed the water was poisoned, and the bottle was handed to him by the purser through Little Yi, deducing it was related to the purser.

This deduction was indeed not rigorous enough, which allowed the purser to use it as leverage and turn the situation around.

The purser thought she had successfully countered, leaving Lin Fan speechless and unable to refute, so she turned and left.

However, just as she was about to leave the rest area, she was stopped by someone—it was Chen Long.

The purser’s face darkened: "Officer Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Long said, "Purser, I’m sorry, but you can’t leave."

The purser said angrily, "Why can’t I leave? On what grounds are you stopping me? Am I breaking the law now?"

The purser’s angry voice immediately drew the crowd’s attention. People turned to look, exchanging confused glances, wondering why the purser and Officer Chen were arguing.

Chen Long asked, "What are you planning to do, Purser?"

The purser said, "What do you mean by that? What could I possibly be doing? Of course, I’m going to do my job. This is ridiculous!"

The crowd also wondered if Lin Fan and Chen Long have gone slightly mad in their pursuit of the murderer, suspecting everyone and not only rounding up a group of people for questioning but now casting suspicion on the purser.

There indeed might be a villain hiding on this plane, but how could the purser be one? Clearly, the purser has been running around, like Lin Fan and Chen Long, serving as a stabilizing force on the plane.

"Mr. Lin, Officer Chen, aren’t you being a bit too paranoid?" someone couldn’t help but say.

Others chimed in, agreeing that it’s impossible for the purser to be suspicious. Let the purser off the hook already!

Chen Long ignored the surrounding chatter and said, "Purser, please answer me, what are you planning to do?"

The purser was both amused and annoyed: "Are you mad? If you really can’t find the killer, why not take a break? Don’t wrong innocent people!"

Lin Fan then said, "Since the purser won’t properly answer Officer Chen’s question, let me try to answer it for you. Purser, are you planning to unleash a massacre? Earlier, I didn’t know how you’d create a second air crisis, but now I think I’ve figured it out. You’re planning to use poison. Am I right?"
