During the time after calling the police and before they arrived, Ethan kept persuading me to cancel the police report.
I looked helpless, "It wasn't me who wanted to call the police.
It was Sophia who kept saying that I poisoned her food and insisted on calling the police."
Upon hearing this, Ethan went to persuade Sophia, trying to get her to give up calling the police.
But Sophia was already immersed in the joy of believing that I was a murderer and refused to budge no matter what.
Before long, the police arrived at the ward.
Under the crystal chandelier, the messy room showed the chaos from earlier.
As soon as Sophia saw the police, she immediately rushed over and pointed at me, crying, "Officer, someone poisoned my food."
The police immediately became alert upon hearing about poisoning, "What's going on? Explain slowly."
Sophia took a deep breath and pointed at me with a resentful look, "It's her.
She poisoned my congee, causing me to get food poisoning and almost taking my life."
The police looked at me, wanting to hear my explanation.
I subconsciously touched the pendant on my neck, took a deep breath, and said, "Officer, it was Sophia who called the police, but I'm being framed."
But Sophia still wouldn't let up, "Still trying to argue.
It was you who poisoned the congee, wanting to take my life."
The police were a bit puzzled but still patiently asked Sophia, "You said she poisoned you and made you sick.
Who made the congee, and who was it made for."
Sophia shouted, "It was my mom who made it for this murderer to eat."
But as soon as she finished saying that, she realized something.
The police were a bit at a loss for words. "Your mom made congee for her to eat, but you got sick after eating it, and now you want to accuse her of poisoning.
Don't you think there's a problem with this logic."
At this moment, Jayden suddenly interjected, "Officer, my sister is emotionally agitated right now and may be a bit confused.
But this matter is indeed very suspicious.
Please investigate it thoroughly."
Ethan and Megan stood to the side, their faces pale, looking very nervous.
Although I was temporarily cleared of suspicion, this was still a suspicious poisoning incident, so the police needed to go to the house to collect food samples as evidence.
Just as they finished collecting the samples, I quietly handed over the surveillance footage and some suspicious evidence I had accumulated over the past few days to the police.
This evidence was not only about today's incident but also contained some clues about my daughter's death.
I carefully ensured this evidence. "Officer, I want to report a case.
This matter may not be as simple as it appears on the surface."
I looked at Ethan and Megan, who had guilty expressions, and thought to myself: Perhaps this incident could bring some breakthroughs to my investigation into my daughter's cause of death.
Ethan and Megan were taken to the police station.
I tightly held the pendant hanging around my neck, knowing that the truth was about to surface.
