"Poisonous?" Shouya calmly stated two words.
"That's right, this soup bag contains poison, but I don't understand. The maid said she had cleaned the soup bag thoroughly. Even if it was originally poisonous, the chicken soup has already been consumed and has been washed with chemicals and clean water. Normally, there shouldn't be so many toxins remaining in the soup bag."
"Wait... this is not the soup bag that Wushuang took out!" Rafas suddenly interrupted Aisin Gioro Yao Ri's words.
The other three immediately looked at the photo with curiosity. Shouya and Faisal also noticed the differences in the photo and exclaimed in unison, "The soup bag has been swapped!"
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri did not understand their words and looked at them curiously.
Rafas took out a photo of the bottom of the soup bag: "Do you see this? It's very clean and smooth, and all the utensils in my castle, including cups and plates, have my initials (lfs) engraved on the bottom. This is my usual habit, and many servants in the castle know this, including the maid who served the soup that day, who has worked in the castle for two years and definitely knows this!"
"This means that Mrs. Lei's chicken soup given to Annie Smith that day was not poisonous at all. The murderer likely tampered with it in the hospital. The biggest suspect is probably the bowl containing the chicken soup. Perhaps the murderer had already tampered with the utensils that Annie used for eating, but fearing that the police would discover that the soup bag itself was not poisonous, they took advantage of the maid cleaning the soup bag to swap it out for a different one. If this deduction is correct, then the Smith family's maid may have seen the true face of the murderer!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri's series of analyses made the case seem increasingly hopeful.
Rafas looked at the photo in his hand, believing that the murderer would not escape his grasp!
"Don't forget, Lefas is now exposed due to Solomon's incident. How are we going to resolve this?" Hand looked at them with concern, feeling quite troubled.
"It's fine. If this incident gets exposed, it doesn't matter if we also reveal Sharl's identity as a leader. I think that guy made a wrong move. My identity being exposed will only make people think I am more capable. As for the government, haven't they known about it for a long time? What’s there to worry about? My identity being exposed will actually make things easier for them; they can openly monitor my every move from now on, right?" Rafas didn't care about this at all; he was only concerned about Wushuang's case.
The others exchanged glances; since he was so calm, why were they worrying?
Before leaving, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri specifically went to check the kitchen and took several photos of utensils marked with (lfs) as evidence.
After they left, Yan Wushuang approached him and asked, "Lefas, with so many issues piling up together, what should we do?"
"Don't worry. Aisin Gioro Yao Ri has already found clues and will soon clear your name. Just trust me!" Rafas led her back to their bedroom and gently kissed her lips.
Rafas was the leader of Solomon, and this news quickly spread among the public. Back when she held her first wedding with Annie Smith, everyone wondered why so many Underworld Bosses attended his wedding and why so many police were dispatched to maintain order. Now it seemed that this was the reason!
However, it is precisely for this reason that many people speculate whether the death of Tony Smith was orchestrated by Solomon, or if Rafas secretly sent someone to assassinate him.
Nevertheless, all of this is merely speculation without any evidence, and the police do not dare to take action against Rafas, especially after his identity was exposed, which made them even more wary of him.
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri continued to investigate the poisoning of Annie. After another interrogation of the Smith Family Maid, she stated that after she had prepared the soup dumplings, she was on her way back to her room when a nurse accidentally bumped into her, nearly causing her to fall. At that moment, the soup dumplings slipped from her hands. The nurse was pushing a cart at the time, and when they collided, many items fell from her cart. She quickly went to pick them up and seemed unaware of where the soup dumplings had fallen. She only knew that the nurse picked them up and returned them to her.
Based on the maid's detailed explanation, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri tentatively identified the culprit as a woman who must have been in and out of the hospital during those days. The soup dumplings were likely switched at that time. Unfortunately, she did not know that all the utensils in the castle were engraved with the letters "lfs," which exposed her. It is believed that the non-poisoned soup dumplings had long been disposed of by her.
The mastermind behind the hospital was Rafas. With his word, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri retrieved all surveillance footage from Annie's hospitalization until her death and found the footage mentioned by the maid. At that time, a woman wearing a mask appeared on camera; however, due to the distance of the surveillance camera and a cart blocking her view, it was impossible to see clearly. All that could be seen was her picking up the soup dumplings and squatting down in front of the cart as if placing other items back into it before returning the soup dumplings to the maid. But Aisin Gioro Yao Ri knew that at that moment, the soup dumplings had already been switched.
Continuing to investigate, after Anna and Mrs. Smith left, a nurse entered the ward holding what seemed to be a medical record book but no soy milk? After she left, no one else entered until later when a doctor checked on patients and discovered that Annie had already died in her room!
Gathering these clues together and compiling them into a report submitted to the police would allow them to identify the suspicious woman in the surveillance footage. This woman could not possibly be Yan Wushuang since she was at home with her two children at that time; all servants in the castle and video recordings could testify for her!
Monica's stock price fluctuated; initially plummeting due to Yan Wushuang's arrest, it began to rise again after new evidence was presented by lawyers along with Solomon's strong backing.
Meanwhile, far away in Japan, Yamamoto Ryuichi had been closely following Wushuang's situation. Although he couldn't help much this time, he still believed in her deeply.
On the contrary, Misa had not spoken a word to him since their argument in the study; she had been avoiding him. Even when Long Yi reached out to hold her hand while they slept together, she would deliberately turn away from him. Did he believe Wushuang was innocent? Was there anything wrong with that?
She was also a friend of Wushuang; did she really believe what was said in the news—that Wushuang poisoned Annie Smith? As her friend, shouldn't she support her?
As night fell, they lay in bed together but with separate thoughts like before. Yamamoto Ryuichi tightly held her hand; tonight he needed to understand why she had changed so much recently.
“Misa, tell me what’s wrong with you lately? Ever since you returned from your class reunion, you've been acting particularly strange. Can you tell me why? What exactly happened?” He held onto her hand firmly to prevent her from avoiding him.
Tonight he had specifically taken Yuan Xiu away for a servant to look after him; his purpose was to force her to speak honestly tonight.
Misa looked into his eyes with a serious expression as feelings of discomfort built up inside her. Initially, she did not want to expose his true nature, but his deliberate arrangements tonight meant he wanted clarity. Since that was the case, she would explain everything clearly!
"You tell me, what did you do in New York? When did you and Fucha agree on the deal? Aside from going to New York, haven't you been anywhere else? Like Las Vegas?" Misa threw a series of questions at him, waiting for his response.
Long Yi didn't expect Misa to ask him these questions. Her inquiry indicated that she must know the truth or at least have her suspicions. Her determined gaze made him hesitate.
Seeing his evasive and troubled expression, Misa knew he was hiding something and aggressively answered for him: "Actually, you weren't negotiating with Fucha in the afternoon at all. You were already in Las Vegas by then. Your son was seriously ill, and I kept calling you, but your phone was off. I couldn't find anyone around you either because you ordered them to turn off their phones to prevent me from finding you. Meanwhile, you secretly met with Wushuang behind my back, right?"
"Misa, I... let me explain!" Long Yi didn't expect her to know everything already; no wonder she had been acting so strangely these past few days.
"Why... why did you turn off your phone? Why are you hiding from me? It's because of your deceitful and untrustworthy behavior that Heaven is angry and has placed all your sins upon our child. If it weren't for you and Yan Wushuang, my child wouldn't have died, and my father wouldn't have died either. I hate you..." Misa suddenly shouted in despair, sitting on the bed with eyes filled with hatred fixed on him.
Yamamoto Ryuichi found himself speechless; he couldn't think of any words to refute her. He had indeed betrayed his promise to Misa. All of this was his fault; he was responsible for the child's death. If it hadn't been for that incident that day, Misa wouldn't have gone into premature labor. If the child had been born full-term, they would have been very healthy. It was all his fault; he hadn't even had the chance to see the child one last time before they left this world...
"What's wrong? Not going to say anything? Do you want to know a secret? I think you'd be very interested!" A terrifying smile suddenly appeared on Misa's face, completely different from her usual self.
Long Yi vaguely sensed what she was about to say but was unwilling to believe it. The Misa he knew would never do such a thing.
"Do you know where I went a few days ago for my class reunion? I went to Las Vegas. I went to kill Annie Smith. I want Yan Wushuang in prison; I want her dead!" Misa's lips trembled as she finally revealed her secret.
"Misa... no, you wouldn't do that. You're just saying this, right?" When she said those words, Long Yi felt like he was collapsing. Was she still the lovely and kind Yamamoto Misa he knew?
Misa quietly looked at him as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Did she really want to kill someone? She didn't want to, but they had forced her into this; they were the ones who pushed her to do it!
