This was the first time the people at site118 had seen Zhang Jue, so they were not familiar with his style.
When Zhang Jue finished his sentence, almost everyone was stunned.
Station Head Maxim dug his ears.
"Mr. Zhang, did I hear wrong? What do you think this jar is for?"
"Sir Station Head, you didn't hear wrong. This is a jar for pickling vegetables." Zhang Jue laughed. "Although it's ordinary, it's more than enough to find the mole. Because it doesn't test lies, it tests people's hearts."
Zhang Jue's words were getting more and more mysterious, but Maxim was a rough man and didn't want to guess the twists and turns in his words.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, tell me what evidence you have to prove that Valeria is the mole."
Zhang Jue looked at him and said, "Sir Stationmaster, let's make a hypothesis. Let's assume that my pottery jar can distinguish lies as I said. Then, if you were a traitor, what would you do?"
If I were the mole, what would I do?
Maxim thought for a moment and slapped his thigh. "Then of course I wouldn't put my hand in to touch the bottom. That way, even if I were to lie, my hand wouldn't be stuck."
"That's it." Zhang Jue nodded. "Anyone with a bit of intelligence will be able to discover this' loophole ', so I smeared a layer of white powder on the bottom of this clay pot. If the person being tested has a clear conscience, they will touch the bottom of the clay pot and their fingertips will be stained with some white powder."
"I see!" Maxim suddenly understood. "So this test has nothing to do with the question you asked. You mainly want to see if the person has a guilty conscience and if they dare to put their hand on it!"
"Congratulations, you got it right," Zhang Jue said.
Only then did everyone realize. They looked at their fingers and found that there was indeed some white powder left on them.
They didn't know what Zhang Jue used, but they couldn't rub it off in a short period of time.
This strategy was actually quite simple. Anyone who watched puzzle cartoons when they were young wouldn't be fooled by this.
However, this was the world of the SCP, and these researchers had seen projects that were even more ridiculous than this.
Secondly, they were facing Zhang Jue, who was a master of deceit.
His acting skills were so good that no one discovered this secret.
It was like magic.
Although sometimes it was just a small trick, it was nothing after being exposed.
However, when you're immersed in it, you'll feel — it's really f * cking magical.
"Alright, that's all for now." Zhang Jue clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to himself.
He looked at Valeria and said, "Madam, can you show your hand to everyone? If I remember correctly, your nail polish is very clean. There's nothing on it. "
Valeria lowered her head in silence.
Without waiting for Maxim to speak, Lermontov, the captain of the Wasps, waved his hand, and two members of the MTF team approached Valeria.
Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank.
Valeria was the logistics manager. She was usually kind and could talk to most of the people in the station.
But who would've thought that her former colleague and friend would turn out to be her enemy?
Maxim sighed and said, "Valeria, show us 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 and said, "No need, I did it."
"What?" Maxim couldn't believe it.
"It was me." Valeria lowered her head.
She seemed to be unable to face her former colleagues. "I was the one who stole 1139."
