After leaving the wealthy family, the fake daughter became a sensation around the world

"Both of them are highly suspicious."

For the first time, Captain Zhong felt that the case was difficult to solve.

It's not that I'm worried the two won't confess, but I'm worried that Professor Jiang will be disheartened.

If we continue investigating this case, the suspects will be one of these two.

What's most worrying is that the two conspired together.

If that's the case, wouldn't Professor Jiang be so angry he couldn't stand it?

At this stage of the investigation, it's no longer about going to their homes to inquire about the case; instead, the two people are brought directly back to the station.

The bottle of mushroom meat sauce that Qi Yue gave away was also taken back by the police for testing.

Unexpectedly, that night Professor Jiang not only ate stir-fried wild mushrooms with meat, but also this mushroom and meat sauce.

This means the person is still alive. If the person were already dead, an autopsy would quickly yield a conclusion.

Professor Jiang's poisoning had absolutely nothing to do with the stir-fried wild mushrooms and ham.

The poisonous mushrooms were hidden inside this jar of mushroom meat sauce.

Qi Yue was taken to a separate interrogation. She claimed that there was nothing wrong with the mushroom meat sauce she prepared, and that the mushrooms were wild mushrooms that she bought from a fellow villager at the market.

Moreover, this mushroom meat sauce wasn't just something Professor Jiang's family had; she also brought a bottle for the Lu family.

Lu Yuting also often eats noodles cooked with mushroom and meat sauce, and has no problems at all.

"This bottle is poisoned, and the other isn't. Doesn't that just prove it's related to you?"

Team Leader Zhong's gaze towards Qi Yue was extremely sharp.

"I didn't poison her," Qi Yue shook her head.

“I admit that I did complain about Professor Jiang before.”

“If she hadn’t made such a big fuss, I wouldn’t have been so ashamed to stay at school.”

"Based on my grades, I could even pursue a doctorate, let alone a master's degree."

"But I can't stay at school anymore. A lot of people know about me. They won't say anything to my face, but just looking at my expression..."

Qi Yue cried when she talked about what happened back then.

“My parents also blamed me, saying I shouldn’t have made such a big deal out of it, which made it impossible for me to get married.”

"And you're talking about Teacher Jiang..."

She was influenced by her parents and started blaming Professor Jiang.

But later she started live-streaming her cooking online, and gradually she became more cheerful.

She thought she would be able to get over it soon.

Even when she met Professor Jiang at Wenshu Monastery, she told him that she was very grateful for his help.

If it weren't for Professor Jiang back then, she probably would have been troubled by that incident for the rest of her life.

If Zhou Kai doesn't receive the punishment he deserves, can Qi Yue still survive?

Will Zhou Kai go and harm other people?

Qi Yue had figured it out and started to fawn over Professor Jiang.

She never expected to run into Zhou Kai again.

Even though he had changed his name to Zhou Fansheng, Qi Yue still recognized him.

Zhou Kai naturally recognized Qi Yue as well.

He was happy to see Qi Yue trembling with fear because of him.

Qi Yue stated that she did not poison him.

Meanwhile, after Zhou Kai's identity was exposed, he also said that he did not poison anyone.

"I do hate Professor Jiang, but I just haven't found the opportunity yet, have I?"

"Professor Jiang's house lost power, was that your doing?" Captain Zhong stared at Zhou Kai; this kid was like a venomous snake.

Moreover, they were trained in this field, and their appearance didn't even reveal a trace of toxicity.

He's also very pretentious; no wonder he can swindle money from rich women.

No matter how much Captain Zhong asked, he wouldn't admit it.

As for going to Professor Jiang's house to help repair the circuit, he initially said that he did it out of kindness.

She then added that she wanted to know how Professor Jiang had fared during her years in prison.

"You poisoned the mushroom and meat sauce that Qi Yue gave to Professor Jiang, trying to kill two birds with one stone, didn't you?"

Zhong's unexpected remark caused Zhou Kai's expression to change.

But even in that one moment, the kid's reaction was indeed very quick.

However, this very moment gave Captain Zhong a breakthrough.

The case was quickly solved.

It really was Zhou Kai who did it, and he even wanted to harm two people at once.

He not only had his eye on Professor Jiang, but he had also been eyeing Qi Yue for a long time.

He began making preparations after learning that Qi Yue had sent Professor Jiang mushroom meat sauce.

The poisonous mushrooms could kill Professor Jiang at any time.

As for Qi Yue, he was the best scapegoat he could have chosen for himself.

It turns out that Zhou Kai had more than one rich woman on his wish list at Wenshu Monastery this week.

He also chose another one.

He used the guise of tutoring someone's daughter to get involved with her.

The key point is that the wealthy woman wasn't divorced; her husband was just frequently away on business trips.

Doesn't this give Zhou Kai an opportunity to exploit a loophole?

Zhou Kai wanted to frame Qi Yue for taking the blame.

Did Qi Yue actually know?

Why did she send Professor Jiang mushroom sauce?

Is it really just to repay Professor Jiang's previous kindness?

The police were unable to uncover this information and could only apprehend Zhou Kai for the time being.

Qi Yue was an innocent party who was implicated.

But Captain Zhong still had a question in his mind: how did Zhou Kai know that it was Qi Yue who sent the mushroom meat sauce to Professor Jiang?

He even asked this question in front of Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai smiled casually: "If you want to know, you can find out. I've been keeping an eye on them, how could I not know what they're up to?"

Is this really the case?

Team Zhong was unable to dig anything deeper.

Professor Jiang, having learned the whole story, remained silent.

What she didn't mention was that Qi Yue had called her that day.

After learning that her dinner was stir-fried wild mushrooms with ham, I strongly recommended that she try my homemade mushroom meat sauce.

After Professor Jiang learned that Qi Yue might also be a suspect, and that the poison she had eaten was from that bottle of mushroom meat sauce, she chose to keep it a secret.

If the police eventually find that Qi Yue is involved, she will bring it up herself.

But if the police don't find anything suspicious about Qi Yue, she will pretend not to know.

Let's just say that Qi Yue was only doing this to repay her.

Team Leader Zhong didn't want to delve into Professor Jiang's thoughts.

But as a criminal investigation team leader, he couldn't possibly know there was a problem and not investigate.

So, when the case was almost closed, Captain Zhong went to the hospital again.

"Professor Jiang, I'd like to ask, since Shen Lu had someone deliver your dinner that evening, was it really necessary to eat mushroom meat sauce?"

"Who insisted that you try the mushroom meat sauce?"

Professor Jiang knew what Captain Zhong wanted to ask, and she shook her head: "There weren't many people, I just wanted to eat by myself."

"Seeing how delicious the stir-fried wild mushrooms and ham smelled, I wanted to try mushroom meat sauce."

"I must say, my student's cooking skills are quite good; that mushroom meat sauce is very fragrant."

"It's fine to just mix it with rice."

Professor Jiang said that, but in reality, how could an old lady like her eat so much food?

Even though I'm already full, why would I want to scoop out a spoonful of mushroom sauce to mix with my rice?

This is obviously unreasonable.

No matter how illogical it seemed, Professor Jiang refused to admit that Qi Yue had guided her to eat it.

The police were helpless.

Team leader Zhong could not get an answer from Professor Jiang.

He went to find Qi Yue again.

But will Qi Yue really speak up?
