Although there was only one fingerprint left on the bottle, because the person had six fingers on his left hand, this extremely distinctive mark allowed the police to identify the suspect within a week. After the arrest, the fingerprint was checked and it was confirmed that the person who left the fingerprint on the bottle was indeed him.
After interrogation by the police, the man admitted that he deliberately put the bottle into Cheng Maixiang's backpack when she was in school, and then sent a letter to the police station to frame her, but he refused to admit that Yan Pingping's food poisoning was his doing, and he did not know why Yan Pingping had food poisoning.
What Cheng Maixiang didn't expect was that the person who framed her was actually the thief who stole her handkerchief and was seen on the bus that day. After he was arrested, he admitted that he framed Cheng Maixiang in revenge for her exposing him for stealing on the bus, and wanted to send him to the police station.
"What he said should be the truth, but it's not the whole truth. There must be someone behind him who ordered him to frame you. After the incident, he took all the blame and saved the person who ordered him."
While packing her schoolbag, Ruan Peiling chatted with Cheng Maixiang about the case that day.
Indeed, on the day Yan Pingping was poisoned, that person did not enter the campus and had no contact with Yan Pingping at all, so the food poisoning could not be blamed on him.
As for why he knew about Yan Pingping's poisoning, he told the police that he happened to pass by the school when the doctor entered the school and heard about it. He also found out that Cheng Maixiang was in the same class as the poisoned person, so he came up with the idea of framing her.
The police couldn't do anything to him. He was cleared of the food poisoning case, but it was a fact that he framed Cheng Maixiang. Based on this, the police convicted him and sentenced him to five years in prison.
"I know, but I believe that person will never tell the truth again. I guess the people who ordered him to do so either bribed him or used their background to intimidate him, making him afraid to tell the truth."
Cheng Maixiang is more inclined to the former. After all, when Lin Jiayu learned about this, he was furious and immediately asked his brothers to investigate this person. He actually caught this person before the police.
Lin Jiayu originally wanted to ask his brothers to beat him up and then throw him in front of the police station, but Cheng Maixiang stopped him. Then he asked his brothers to go to the police station to report the man and have him arrested.
Lin Jiayu later told her that the man was the youngest son in the family and had an older sister. Because he was his parents' last-born son, he was spoiled by them and had been stealing since he was a child. For this, he was sent to labor camps countless times, but he just wouldn't change his ways and even angered his father to death.
The day after he was imprisoned, his mother took the initiative to move to her daughter's home a hundred miles away from Linwen County and never returned.
In that era, everyone was very poor, and if you went to live in someone else's house, you must bring food with you.
The man's family was very poor, his mother didn't have much money, and his daughter didn't marry into a wealthy family. If his mother had only brought food with her, she probably wouldn't have stayed there for long. But she stayed at her daughter's place for more than a week and showed no signs of going home. She probably brought money with her.
"It's not hard to guess who's behind him. If it's not Zhao Linlin, then it must be Zhao Linlin's lover.
She originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, to find a way to make Yan Pingping get food poisoning, frame you, and take the opportunity to get rid of you, the thorn in her side.
It's just a pity that she didn't expect you to be so capable. You found the flaw in no time and finally caught the real suspect. She had no choice but to leave."
Ruan Peiling hated people who stabbed others in the back the most, and this time it was her best friend who was targeted, which made her even more furious.
Although the case was closed, it did not mean that the students' discussion of the case was over. Many people pointed the finger of suspicion at Zhao Linlin. After all, she was the biggest beneficiary of Yan Pingping's accident. In addition, Ruan Peiling spread the rumor that many suspects were instructed to frame Cheng Maixiang. The students were not fools, so Zhao Linlin became the mastermind behind the case.
In the end, Zhao Linlin could no longer bear the gossip in school and the strange looks from her classmates, so she transferred to a high school in Lin County.
"It seems that the person behind her is really not simple. After such a thing happened, they actually told her to transfer schools. It's just a pity for Wu Jiadong. He was still daydreaming and wanted to win back the goddess. I didn't expect that she didn't even take him seriously."
Ruan Peiling smiled with glee. These days, Wu Jiadong was like a frost-bitten eggplant, dejected all day long.
Although he was not the central figure in the incident, everyone saw his intimate interaction with Zhao Linlin during the performance. When Zhao Linlin got into trouble, he was dragged into it. Some people even suspected that he was the one who poisoned Yan Pingping in order to perform with Zhao Linlin.
Cheng Maixiang didn't have time to deal with the couple, but fortunately, Wu Jiadong didn't dare to provoke her anymore.
A few days ago, Lin Jiayu gave him a severe lesson in an alley and told him to stay away from his young wife. Lin Jiayu was very experienced in fighting and he specifically hit people in places that were not easily exposed, causing Wu Jiadong to suffer a loss and be unable to say anything. He was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and after knowing how powerful Lin Jiayu was, he never dared to mess around again.
Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling walked out of the school gate together. Lin Jiayu was waiting outside the school gate as usual. Cheng Maixiang got in the car and waved goodbye to Ruan Peiling.
"Are you going to pick someone up today?"
"Yeah," Lin Jiayu replied while pedaling his bicycle, "I'll go after I have dinner with you."
Ever since Lin Jiayu took a taxi in Guangzhou, he discovered a new business opportunity. He bought a tricycle and started using his time after get off work to transport people and goods on the street, and would not return to the steel factory dormitory to sleep until very late.
