Chapter 221

It was the first time the people in site118 had met Zhang Jue, so they were not familiar with his style.

Therefore, when Zhang Jue finished his sentence, almost everyone was stunned.

Station Master Maxim dug his ears.

"Consultant Zhang, did I hear wrongly? What do you think this clay jar is used for?"

"Sir Station Master, you did not hear wrongly. This is a jar used to pickle vegetables." Zhang Jue smiled. "But although it is ordinary, it is more than enough to find the mole — because it is not a lie, but a person's heart."

Zhang Jue's words were getting more and more mysterious, but Maxim was an uncouth man, so he did not want to guess what he was talking about.

"Alright, alright, Consultant Zhang, just tell me what evidence you have to prove that Valeria is the mole."

Zhang Jue looked at him. "Sir Station Master, let's make a hypothesis. If my clay jar is really as I said, and it can detect lies, then what would you do if you were the mole?"

If I were the mole, what would I do?

Maxim thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh. "Then of course I wouldn't put my hand in and touch the bottom. This way, even if I lie, it won't stick."

"That's it." Zhang Jue nodded. "Anyone with a bit of intelligence would notice this' loophole ', so I smeared a layer of white powder at the bottom of the clay jar. If the person being tested has a clear conscience, he will touch the bottom of the clay jar, and his fingertips will be stained with some white powder."

"I see!" Maxim exclaimed. "So this test has nothing to do with the question you asked. What you're testing is whether the person is guilty or not, and whether they dare to put their hand on the clay jar!"

"Congratulations, you got it right," Zhang Jue said.

At this point, the group finally understood. They looked at their fingers, and indeed, there was some white powder left on them.

They did not know what Zhang Jue had used, but they could not rub it off in a short time.

This trick was actually quite child's play. Anyone who had watched puzzle cartoons when they were young would not fall for this trick.

However, this was the world of SCP, and these researchers had seen projects that were even more ridiculous than this.

Secondly, they were facing Zhang Jue, who was a shrewd person, the ancestor of deceiving people.

His acting skills were so good that no one realized this secret.

It was like magic.

Sometimes it was just a small trick, and it was nothing after being exposed.

However, when you were immersed in it, you would feel that it was really f * cking magical.

"Alright, we'll stop analyzing the theory here." Zhang Jue clapped his hands, and everyone's attention returned to him.

He looked at Valeria. "Miss, can you show us your hand? If I remember correctly, your nail polish is very clean, there's nothing on it. "

Valeria lowered her head and did not say anything.

Without Maxim saying anything, Lermontov, the captain of the "Wasp" team, waved his hand, and two members of the MTF team approached Valeria.

Looking at this scene, everyone's heart sank.

Valeria was the logistics supervisor. She was usually kind and friendly, and could talk to most people in the station.

Who would have thought that her former colleagues and friends would turn out to be enemies?

Maxim sighed. "Valeria, let everyone see your hand."

This was his last hope. He hoped that Zhang Jue was wrong, and that Valeria was innocent.

However, Valeria suddenly shook her head. "No need, I did it."

"What?" Maxim was in disbelief.

"It's me." Valeria lowered her head.

It was as if he couldn't face his former colleagues. "I was the one who stole 1139."
