Chapter 146 I won't tolerate this! I'm innocent!
Why was Xia Mian so easily cleared of suspicion after Fang Yuan and Li Qing had orchestrated this scheme together?
Xia Mian's logic was flawless; she spoke in great detail and frankly, and her explanation matched the surveillance footage perfectly. The entire timeline, including her movements, was crystal clear.
Completely innocent!
Zhao Baoqi glared at Fang Yuan and Li Qing with a triumphant air, narrowing her eyes. "I have a feeling that you two not only framed my best friend, but you two also orchestrated this whole thing."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's bleach in our cups! We're the ones who are being harmed!" Li Qingqiang argued illogically, but inexplicably felt a pang of panic.
Fang Yuan was anxious and restless, on the verge of exploding with rage. She desperately wanted to convict Xia Mian!
"Of the four people in the dorm, only Xia Mian's cup was empty. Who else could she be the murderer? Even if she has some kind of timeline, I think she's the murderer!"
Why is it so difficult to convict Xia Mian?
"I can tell it's obviously Xia Mian!" Li Qing cried as she spoke. "Officer, I don't want to live with such a vicious girl. What if she kills me?"
"Hey Li! Xia Mian has a timeline, and you didn't even see her poisoning the girl, so why are you being so relentless?" The head of the teaching department was at his wit's end.
“We are all classmates, and we should be considerate of each other, and help each other. I fully believe in Xia Mian’s innocence.”
The police were also having a bit of a headache dealing with the girls. This kind of thing wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. The victim was still in the hospital.
“These things will take some time to investigate, and all three cups, including the bleach, need to be tested and investigated.”
"It's late, you should go back now. We'll contact you if anything comes up."
The policewoman glanced at Xia Mian. She was Xia Mian's fan and secretly believed in Xia Mian, and couldn't bear to see Xia Mian being wronged.
She said to her colleague, "It's hard to get a taxi in the middle of the night, why don't you drive them home?"
So the police took them back to school.
Walking along the tree-lined path on campus, Li Qing and Fang Yuan were still making a ruckus.
"I don't care, Director! I don't want to live with Xia Mian anymore. This vicious murderer could kill us at any time!"
Fang Yuan also complained, "I'm afraid she'll stab us with a knife in the middle of the night."
The head of the teaching department is old and has been sleepy for a long time.
"So what do you suggest we do now? You don't live together, what do you want?"
"Xia Mian can no longer live in our dormitory!" Fang Yuan said decisively.
"Sure!" Xia Mian said coldly. "You can just move out, right? You can move wherever you want."
Li Qing frowned. "No, if anyone's going to move, it's you!"
"Where are there any vacant dorm rooms now?" the head of student affairs said angrily. "Have you all made enough of a scene? The matter hasn't been investigated at all, and there's no way to prove that Xia Mian is the murderer. What are you all arguing about?"
His anger, which he had been holding in all night, finally exploded: "If they make any more noise, they will all be punished for disrupting school order!"
Li Qing and Fang Yuan were so frightened that they fell silent and dared not speak again.
The head of the teaching department displayed his authority, his leadership style immediately putting the two incessantly chattering girls in check.
He's only maintaining his amiable persona because of Xia Mian, okay?
Do these two girls really think he's a vegetarian?
Zhao Baoqi quietly pulled Xia Mian's hand, "Let's share a bed tonight, let's sleep in our dorm. Don't stay with these two lunatics."
Xia Mian gently shook her head, "No need, I need to send a message to my advisor later to see how Xu Meimei is doing."
She was a little worried about Xu Meimei.
Drinking bleach can cause anything from stomach upset to serious health problems, and even death.
"Alright then, be careful. If those two women dare to bully you again, just call me!" As the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Baoqi doesn't tolerate anyone!
It was past 11 p.m., the stars were sparse in the sky, and the moonlight was dim.
After returning to her dormitory, Xia Mian sent a message to her advisor.
The counselor stayed at the hospital the whole time and even paid the medical expenses in advance.
"The emergency treatment just ended a little over half an hour ago, and now she's been transferred to a ward."
She had just finished replying when Xia Mian called.
Is Xu Meimei's condition optimistic?
"We pumped her stomach and gave her medication, but her liver and kidneys are still damaged. She'll probably need to stay in the hospital for a while." The counselor's voice sounded exhausted. "Why aren't you resting so late?"
"My two roommates and I just came back from the police station," Xia Mian briefly reported to her advisor, concluding with that.
“I am innocent. I have no grudge against them. Besides, I will move out of the dormitory after living here for half a month. I have no reason to poison them.”
When the counselor heard that Xia Mian was a suspect, his mind went blank.
Although we weren't very familiar with each other, I remembered Xia Mian as very beautiful, and she used to be an internet celebrity with millions of followers.
Her intuition told her it wasn't Xia Mian.
"If we really can't stand each other when I get back tomorrow, let's break up and I'll deal with it when I get back."
"Thank you, counselor." Xia Mian hung up the phone and glanced at her two roommates. Fang Yuan and Li Qing had long faces, as if Xia Mian owed them millions.
Xia Mian ignored it and lay down on the bed with her eyes closed.
Fang Yuan couldn't stand seeing Xia Mian so comfortable, so she couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Some people can still sleep soundly! Don't they have any conscience?"
Li Qing immediately chimed in, "He caused his own roommate to be hospitalized, and then he had to pretend to be kind by calling the counselor. What a hypocrite!"
Xia Mian was very tired, and she kept her eyes closed and didn't say anything.
It's pointless, I can't be bothered with those two lunatics.
"Xia Mian! I'm talking to you! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!" Fang Yuan gritted her teeth in anger. What she couldn't stand the most was Xia Mian's nonchalant attitude.
She jumped out of her bed in a huff, shoving Xia Mian hard. "How dare you sleep! Get up! What right do you have to sleep here!"
Xia Mian suddenly opened her eyes, staring coldly at Fang Yuan. She could no longer tolerate it!
"Are you looking for trouble?"
Snap!
She slapped Fang Yuan hard across the face. "I've put up with you all night! Nobody's as shameless as you. You've framed me for no reason. I think you're the one who poisoned me!"
"You dare hit me?" Fang Yuan felt dizzy and her face burned. She lunged at Xia Mian, "You actually dared to hit me, who do you think you are?"
Xia Mian sneered and kicked her to the ground, then sat on her and slapped her twice more, left and right.
"I'm beating up people like you who stir up trouble, snob, and bully the weak!"
Seeing her ally Fang Yuan being beaten, Li Qing also got out of her bed and went to pull Xia Mian, saying, "Why did you hit him!"
