Awakening the War God novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 The Culprit

"Hello? Mr. Gabriel, what's going on?"

As soon as the call connected, Elizabeth anxiously asked.

She had just been on the phone with Gabriel, but he abruptly hung up. It seemed that something had happened.

During this time, she didn't dare to call him back, worrying constantly.

Gabriel walked to the window, his face darkened. "Someone tried to poison us just now, nearly killing a few of my friends. The poison is called Deadly Grass, a type of poison from Annam, the Southwest!"

"Use the methods of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall to help me find out who has been targeting me from behind all this time!"

He had a feeling that the person who poisoned them today was somehow connected to the foreign assassins from a few days ago.

Originally, he wanted Santos to investigate who was targeting him by following the trail of the assassin's corpse.

But the appearance of the poisoner today made him even more certain that it was a force from the Underground World and not someone who hired assassins with money.

When it came to the Underground World, the Ghostly Purgatory Hall had better means of investigation.

"Understood, I'll start investigating immediately!" Elizabeth obeyed the order.

Gabriel added, "By the way, I might be going to Gumoldur City in a few days, so prepare in advance!"

With Vicky's appearance, he had already decided to get involved in the affairs of the Gumoldur Clan.

Since he was unfamiliar with the place, he needed Elizabeth to help him prepare.

"Yes!"

Elizabeth accepted the order once again.

Gabriel finally hung up the phone and took out a cigarette.

He placed it in his mouth and started smoking.

His gaze was distant, his expression solemn.

Who exactly was causing trouble for him repeatedly from behind?

He had quite a few enemies now, and it was not easy to figure this out.

But if he didn't figure it out, he would continue to be passively attacked, which was very uncomfortable.

Afterward, he wrote a prescription of herb medicine and handed it to Sparrow.

After the medicine was obtained and Stella and the others drank it, Gabriel and Zoe went to the monitoring room together.

Six screens displayed twenty-four surveillance footage, monitoring every corner of the club without blind spots.

Thomas said to Gabriel, "Boss, after the incident, I immediately sealed off the club. No one was allowed to leave! The female waiter on the ninth floor who made tea and poured juice has also been detained!"

Gabriel nodded and then turned to Zoe. "Zoe, I'm really sorry for troubling you!"

Originally, after Zoe finished the SAT, he wanted her to relax a bit.

But he didn't expect that she would have to work as a detective to solve the case.

In fact, he understood that since the enemy had such means, he would have most likely already escaped by now.

But he still wanted to investigate, just in case the enemy was careless and hadn't left yet, so he could catch the enemy.

"It's okay, Gabriel. I have nothing to do anyway!"

Zoe stared at the surveillance screens, her eyes fixed.

Thomas was secretly amazed. With so many surveillance screens, how could she spot the poisoner by watching them all at once?

Just as he was wondering, Zoe said, "Number one, number six, number thirteen, and number twenty-four, enlarge these four screens, rewind them to an hour before the poisoning incident, and play them simultaneously at sixteen times the speed!"

"Huh?" Thomas was momentarily stunned!

He didn't understand what Zoe was trying to do.

Shouldn't they watch the surveillance footage slowly? What could they see by simultaneously watching four screens at sixteen times the speed?

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!" Gabriel glared at Thomas fiercely!

This idiot didn't even know how amazing Zoe was!

"Understood!"

Thomas snapped back to his senses and didn't dare to delay.

He instructed the operators to follow Zoe's instructions, bringing up the four sets of footage and setting them to play starting from an hour before the poisoning incident.

It was played at sixteen times the speed!

After the playback started, Thomas also tried to take a few glances.

The screen switching was so fast that he could hardly remember anything.

He really couldn't understand. How could this method find the person who poisoned?
