Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Framing and Counter-Framing

Shen Ci hurriedly came out, “Let her go, I’ll take full responsibility for this. If she is the poisoner, I am willing to take double the punishment.”

Everyone, hearing him say this, immediately let her pass.

They could also tell that Song Enyu was not the poisoner.

If she were, with her character, she would have fled long before the incident took place.

After Song Enyu left, Shen Ci handed over the gift brought by Lin Fangwei to the police station and the heads of the Lee and Yun families for examination, “Look, this was given by Miss Li just now. We found a few small pills inside, the surface of which is Floral Awakening Wood Pulp that slowly dissolves when heated for an hour, and the inside is poison. Although I am not sure if the sisters from the Lee and Yun families were poisoned by this, I can guarantee that our medicinal diet was absolutely fine.

Because they were not the only ones who ate that pot of medicinal diet.”

The head of the Lee family immediately retorted, “Who says the poison must have been in the pot? What if it was in the bowls?”

The Yun family head also said, “We know Li Fangwei; she is a good child and would not do such a thing. These pills are probably planted by you to frame her.”

Shen Ci scoffed, “Why not search her home then? These small pills are so tiny, I believe she must have left some at home.”

Lee family head, “Are you saying that if we don’t find these pills in her house, you will confess?”

Shen Ci nodded. “Yes.”

Yun Family Patriarch feigned a smile, “Shen Ci, it’s hard to believe what you’re saying. How can you be so sure she has these pills at her home? Even if they are her pills, couldn’t she have cleaned them up? Are you suggesting that you have already framed her?”

Shen Ci looked at him as if he were a fool, “How could I have framed her? And who would I have sent?”

He had not framed anyone; he had merely sent Erhu to return the small pills that Lin Fangwei had intended to place in the bowls of other customers to Lin Fangwei.

At this point, a bystander spoke up, “Shen Ci is right; it is indeed difficult to frame the Li family because they don’t like anyone entering their bedrooms, not even the maids.”

Another person spoke, “I also believe Shen Ci. With so many people eating, it makes no sense that only these two would be poisoned.”

“Right, why not go and check the Li house first? Maybe everything will be clear after a check?”

Someone loudly asked Shen Ci, “Why do you suspect Miss Li from the Li family and not others? Just because there were pills in the gift she gave you?”

Shen Ci replied softly, “Yes, the pills inside were probably accidentally dropped in as there were only three, all at the bottom of the bag, which wouldn’t poison us.”

The crowd, “…”

The police station decided to go to the Li house immediately.

Otherwise, if they were late, and the Li family heard the news and tampered with the evidence, what then?

The truth is, the Li family had already heard the news through the phone.

Everyone in the Li family, including Lin Fangwei, was terrified.

The Li family need not say, but what terrified Lin Fangwei was: Why did only two people show symptoms of poisoning? Why were those pills in the gift she gave to Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue?

Accidentally fallen in?

At this moment, Lin Fangwei could no longer afford to ponder the reasons. She hurriedly cleared up the room, deeply afraid there might be accidentally dropped pills.

The rest of the Li family did the same.

Although they couldn’t think of a reason why Li Fangwei would poison anyone, to be cautious, they also hurriedly cleaned the house.

The result was: nothing.

There were none in Lin Fangwei’s room either.

Li Feng, after receiving the call, asked his wife to clean up the house and then went to find Lin Fangwei himself.

He explained the situation to Lin Fangwei, and seeing that she was surprised but not panicked, he quickly said, “I believe in your character, but I’m worried about you being framed, so you should hurry up and clean the room.”
