Mu Xiaocheng held the wine in her hand and slowly brought it to her lips. Just as her lips were about to touch the rim of the wine glass, she was interrupted by several policemen who suddenly barged in.
"Which of you is Yuan Xi?"
The lead police officer asked sternly.
When Yuan Xi saw this scene, her face turned pale instantly.
police?
Why did they get here?
Could it be that they know...?
"I...I am," Yuan Xi stammered, her voice trembling slightly.
Mu Xiaocheng remained calm and quiet, staring intently at Yuan Xi, as if everything was under her control.
The lead police officer showed his identification and then said, "Someone has reported that you intentionally poisoned someone to death. Please come with us."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaocheng pretended to be shocked and opened her mouth wide.
She pointed somewhat fearfully to the glass of red wine in front of her and said, "Could it be this? I almost drank it."
Mu Xiaocheng's tone was panicked, even tinged with fear.
Upon hearing her words, the police chief quickly told his colleagues behind him, "Take all these things back with you."
Yuan Xi was stunned when she heard him say that.
She tried to stop him, trembling, but dared not. Her outstretched hand shook as she stammered, "This wine isn't poisoned. I've already drunk it."
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her eyes, a sly glint in them.
"Comrade Jingcha, thank you for your trouble. Please check it out."
Yuan Xi was completely distraught upon hearing Mu Xiaocheng's words.
Mu Xiaocheng, she...
Could it be that she knew from the beginning that she would poison someone?!
—
The final test results are quite clear.
Mu Xiaocheng's drink was poisoned, but Yuan Xi didn't put the poison in it in order to lower Mu Xiaocheng's guard.
Instead, they put the poison in Mu Xiaocheng's wine glass.
That's why she drank a glass without hesitation just now to show Mu Xiaocheng.
Yuan Xi sat in the interrogation room, while Mu Xiaocheng stood outside.
Through a glass window, Yuan Xi couldn't see her, but she could see inside.
Mu Xiaocheng handed over all the evidence of the bad things Yuan Xi and Zhou Ningshuang did together to the police.
Including this attempted murder, she'll likely spend ten or twenty years in prison.
After the police interrogation, Yuan Xi insisted on seeing Mu Xiaocheng.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't go inside; she just answered the visiting phone call next to her through the window.
She stared blankly at the person opposite her; it seemed that this young girl's life would be ruined here for the rest of her days.
However, this is her own fault, and she has no one else to blame but herself.
By now, Yuan Xi's emotions had calmed down, and her tone was particularly calm.
She gripped the phone receiver tightly, her eyes bloodshot: "You knew all along that I would poison you."
"You knew that from the very beginning when I apologized to you, didn't you?"
Mu Xiaocheng did not deny it, but generously replied: "Your acting skills are too clumsy, and they don't make any sense at all."
"If someone who has been deliberately trying to make me suffer suddenly comes to apologize to me, do you think I would believe them?"
"And your eyes, your subtle movements, all betray you. You were constantly tense, so it was impossible for you to do something flawlessly."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaocheng's words, Yuan Xi suddenly smiled.
She gave a cold laugh, looking both forlorn and pitiful.
She stared at Mu Xiaocheng, her eyes bloodshot.
"In your eyes, am I really stupid? Hateful? Overconfident?"
