Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling looked at each other quickly, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Yan Pingping's actions were so quick. She had food poisoning just yesterday, but today she found out who was responsible, found out where the medicine was, and called the police. She was really good at it.
Cheng Maixiang turned her head to look at Yan Pingping and saw that she also looked confused, as if she didn't expect the police to openly come to the school to investigate.
It wasn't her who reported the case, otherwise the expression on her face at this moment should be complacent, not at a loss.
For some reason, Cheng Maixiang subconsciously looked at Zhao Linlin, only to find that she was calm, neither complacent nor surprised, as if she was just undergoing a stop-over before getting on the bus.
Cheng Maixiang couldn't see anything on her face, so she had to follow the teacher's instructions and retreat to the back of the classroom with Ruan Peiling.
The whole class stood in a circle around the classroom wall, watching several policemen searching every seat in the classroom.
Seeing that the police had searched two-thirds of the seats in the class and still found nothing, many students were whispering to each other.
Soon it was Cheng Maixiang's turn. After searching her desk, the police took out her schoolbag as usual and rummaged through the contents.
Suddenly, the searching police paused, then quickly started rummaging through her bag.
Cheng Maixiang suddenly had a strong feeling in her heart that the medicine the police were looking for might be in her bag.
Sure enough, a moment later, a policeman took out a small glass bottle from the deepest part of her bag. The bottle was dark brown and it was unclear what was inside. The policeman unscrewed the bottle cap, took a look inside, and immediately turned his head and fanned his nose with his right hand. It seemed that the smell was extremely unpleasant.
A police officer nearby suddenly looked gloomy and asked, "Whose bag is this?"
Ruan Peiling desperately pulled Cheng Maixiang to stop her from coming out, but Cheng Maixiang shook her hand off and took a step forward. "Comrade Public Security, this is my bag."
Several police officers looked her up and down, seemingly surprised that the person who poisoned her was such a beautiful girl.
The police officer snorted and raised the bottle in his hand. "What is this?"
Cheng Maixiang shook her head and said calmly, "Comrade Public Security, I don't know. This bottle is not mine."
"It's not yours? How did the bottle get out of your bag?"
A police officer nearby asked with a sneer. In his career, he had seen too many criminals who refused to admit their crimes even when evidence was placed before them. He never expected that this young girl would have such good psychological quality.
"Maybe someone put it in my bag to frame me."
The three police officers seemed to be unwilling to waste time talking to her. One of them said to her, "If you have anything to say, come with me to the police station and tell me. Since you are a student, I won't handcuff you to avoid embarrassment."
When the police said this, the entire Class 3 was in an uproar. No one had expected that Cheng Maixiang, who had always been low-key and calm, would actually poison her classmates. They couldn't help but lean against the wall, as if they hadn't expected her to be such a vicious and cruel girl.
Suddenly, Ruan Peiling stepped forward and stood in front of Cheng Maixiang. "Did you find out the truth before you just took people away? It was Yan Pingping who had food poisoning yesterday. Cheng Maixiang has no grudge against her. Why would she poison her?"
Even if we take a step back and say that it was really Cheng Maixiang who poisoned her, then why did she take care of Yan Pingping all day yesterday and help the doctor save people?
"Comrade Gong'an, if you poison someone, shouldn't you wish them the worst? Will you save the person you're trying to harm?"
The three police officers looked at each other, seemingly surprised that a girl would be so bold as to confront them. However, she did provide a new perspective. One of them asked, "Is what you said true?"
Before Ruan Peiling could answer, Wei Jinyuan stepped forward and replied, "Comrade Public Security, I can guarantee that what Ruan Peiling said is true. Yesterday in the dormitory, when the doctor was performing a gastric lavage on Yan Pingping, she was right by her side helping to take care of her."
Ruan Peiling turned around abruptly, stared at Yan Pingping, and said loudly, "Yan Pingping, tell me honestly, will Maizi harm you? What good will it do if she harms you?
From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of replacing you. And after you were poisoned, everyone stayed away. Only Maizi didn't mind the dirtiness of your vomit and kept patting your back, fearing that you would choke to death. Would such a person poison you?"
Yan Pingping was originally stunned by what the police found in Cheng Maixiang's bag. Ruan Peiling's words reminded her completely. She walked up to the police, looked at Cheng Maixiang's guilt-free face, and said solemnly:
"Comrade Public Security, I believe Cheng Maixiang wouldn't harm me. Just like what Ruan Peiling said, what good would it do her to harm me? And it would also cause her to come home over an hour late. Is this what she wanted to do to harm me?"
"Okay, then who do you think would harm you, or who have you had conflicts with recently?"
Yan Pingping sneered, "Everyone knows who I have a conflict with. Yesterday, I had food poisoning, so naturally someone benefited."
The eyes of the entire class instantly shot towards Zhao Linlin, who had been standing in the corner in silence. Some students, eager to watch the fun, started to jeer, "Zhao Linlin, Yan Pingping is testifying against you. Tell us what's going on."
Zhao Linlin smiled softly. "I don't have much to say. Anyway, the police didn't find anything in my bag."
Zhao Linlin's words made Cheng Maixiang completely certain that it was her who was behind this incident, but she didn't know how Zhao Linlin had put the small bottle into her bag.
