Both the pills appear to be the same in shape, size, and color so there’s no chance that the abductor can differentiate between them and even if he could, the victim got the opportunity to choose first so it’s crystal clear that both the pills were absolutely harmless every time; however, the poison was in the water which the victim used to consume with the pill.

The electrician has stolen the bill because the owner checked the bill between the pages 10 and 11. This means that pages 11 and 12 are on the opposite sides of a single sheet. Therefore, there’s no chance that the $100 bill can be kept between pages 11 and 12.
