The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

The chaotic and noisy scene instantly quieted down.

All eyes were focused on the bamboo cup.

Zhang Laosan and his wife's expressions immediately changed, with the former shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

He looked around and continued to incite the crowd, "Look at this, everyone! This is her attitude. She killed someone but won't admit it. She's still making excuses to get away with it. Everyone, you have to help me! My son died so tragically!"

"Kill her..."

As soon as the sounds from all around began, Chen Jiang shouted, "Guards! Anyone who obstructs my investigation will be arrested and punished the same as the murderer!"

As soon as he spoke, the crowd that had been jeering fell silent, and the surroundings returned to quiet.

Chen Jiang suppressed his anger and turned to look at Song Siyao, "Princess, what was the matter with the bamboo cup you mentioned earlier?"

Song Siyao picked up the bamboo cup and explained to everyone, "To ensure that the milk tea that every customer receives is safe, we have added a safety buckle to our bamboo cups during the manufacturing process. Once this buckle is broken, it can never be restored."

"Look at the bamboo cup in my hand, everyone. The safety buckle on it has been torn."

She looked at Zhang Laosan and asked, "Why did you tear the safety buckle on top?"

Zhang Laosan, straining his neck, replied, "It wasn't us who tore it; it was already broken when we got it!"

"impossible!"

Feng Bai had already treated Yu Xiang's injuries. Yu Xiang walked over to Zhang Laosan and said, "Yesterday your child knocked over our bucket. We didn't say anything, but you started making a scene. Today you came to buy milk tea again, so I paid special attention. After I filled the milk tea for you, I checked it carefully. I remember very clearly that the safety buckle was intact!"

"When I handed you the milk tea, I also said, 'Three cups of milk tea, safety buckles intact, please take them and leave safely!' There were other customers nearby at the time, and they heard it too. You can ask them to be witnesses."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Laosan panicked. His eyes darted around, and he argued, "Anyway, the safety buckle was broken when we got home. Besides, what does the condition of the safety buckle have to do with my son's poisoning?"

“Of course it’s related!” Song Siyao’s voice was icy. “The milk tea in our shop is all prepared in advance, and then different toppings are added on the spot according to the customer’s needs, and then the safety buckle is fastened.”

“Before the safety buckle is fastened, we have no chance to poison it in full view of everyone. If we want to poison the bamboo cup, we have to break the buckle completely.”

Zhang Laosan raised his voice, "What do you mean? You mean we broke the safety buckle ourselves and poisoned it? That's my own son, my only son, how could I poison him?"

"Whether the poison was added after the safety buckle was broken can be determined by checking the cup lid."

Song Siyao looked at the coroner, who took the bamboo cup from her hand, examined it carefully, and replied, "I was negligent just now. There was poison inside the bamboo cup, but not on the lid!"

“If the poison in the cup was put in our shop, you would have carried the milk tea this far, and it would definitely have splashed onto the lid, which would be poisoned. But once the safety buckle is broken, the lid will fall off, so when poison is put into the cup, there will be no poison on the lid!” Song Siyao explained to everyone.

People's eyes are sharp.

After hearing Song Siyao's explanation, everyone looked at Zhang Laosan and his wife with suspicion.

Zhang Laosan panicked. "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's known for her eloquence; she can twist the truth and fool everyone."

"You're the one fooling everyone, aren't you?" Song Siyao's gaze turned cold and sharp. "Zhang Laosan, if you really love your son, you should want to catch the real murderer, instead of keeping harping on me. Don't you even use your brain? Do you think I, Song Siyao, would bother to harm a child?"

Zhang Laosan fell silent for a moment, then exploded, "It's you! You're the murderer! There's no one else!"

"Zhang Laosan, what are you hiding?" Song Siyao took in every subtle expression on Zhang Laosan's face.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Laosan panicked even more and began to wail, "Son, your father is powerless and cannot avenge you. You should become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge on that person yourself."

Zhang's wife, having caught her breath, shouted, "Son, don't go to be reincarnated! It's your parents' fault for following your enemy. Go and take revenge yourself, and don't be born as a human again in your next life!"

Song Siyao frowned as she listened to the couple's words. What kind of biological parents would curse their own son like that?

It seems there must be more to the story behind the Zhang family child's death!

Just then, Cang Yue arrived.

Before Song Siyao came here, he instructed Cang Yue to investigate the Zhang family's situation.
