Mu Chenyan had mixed feelings. She really did not know how to comfort her.
Wen Ya had cried enough and calmed down. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was so weak that her entire body was trembling.
"I'm sorry … I … Can I water the banana tree?"
Wen Ya said softly with tears in her eyes. It was a mess under the banana tree. Others did not know, but Wen Ya knew very well that her child was buried under the tree. How could she bear to dirty this place?
"Sure!" The police officer who was busy checking the scene said and then continued,
"However, Mrs. Yuan, we have to remind you that this is a crime scene. We'll have to seal this place later. You can't stay here anymore."
Wen Ya nodded. "I know!"
With that said, Wen Ya turned around and entered the house. She fetched a bucket of water and washed away the dirt she had vomited under the banana tree. She fetched another two buckets of water and watered the surrounding flowers and plants.
Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan looked at each other. Yuan Xuan said softly, "Wen Ya can stay in Upper Mansion. Grandmother needs someone to accompany her during this time."
Wen Ya nodded and said to the police officer, "Can I go in and take out some of my personal belongings?"
The police officer looked at Third Young Master Yuan and then at Wu Huai. Wu Huai nodded.
The police officer said, "Sure, but the things you take need to be inspected. I'm sorry Mrs. Yuan, but everyone in this house is being investigated. We're just doing our job."
Wen Ya nodded. "Understood! I'll go get it now. "

In the next few days, everyone in the major crimes department was busy with this case.
On one hand, Yuan Zhe was also in an important position in the government. On the other hand, it involved the Yuan Family. Even if Yuan Xuan did not pressure them, Yuan Tangzhong would not hesitate to solve the case as soon as possible.
The pressure of public opinion was also on their heads. Because this episode was streamed live, many netizens also saw the scene.
Although not many people watched the live broadcast, the murder case quickly spread on the internet. Screenshots and videos were everywhere. Fortunately, the Yuan Family stepped in and suppressed these.
However, the bad influence continued as the case was not solved.
The leaders of the city personally came forward to supervise the case.
Wu Huai was very depressed because there were many strange things about this case that he could not figure out.
For this reason, the major crimes department organized a meeting. Since Mu Chenyan had contributed a lot in Sun Xu's case, Su Qingcheng stood her ground and fought for the opportunity to attend the meeting.
Mu Chenyan was extremely excited. Even Zhang Xin could not believe that Mu Chenyan's luck was so good.
"Captain Wu, colleagues, according to the results from the forensic department, Yuan Zhe was indeed poisoned to death. The time of death was 10: 28 am that day."
"The remaining half of the pot of coffee was indeed poisoned. It might have been a compound poison. The specific composition needs to be further tested. According to the information provided by the reporters at the time, it only took 40 minutes from the time the coffee was brewed to the time the victim died. It was a strong poison."
Su Qingcheng sent out the slides of the case file and announced the results to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they felt very puzzled and started to discuss it.
"The poison was detected in the coffee pot, and all three of them drank it."
"Since it's a strong poison, but Yuan Zhe is the only one who died. The two reporters are fine. How do you explain that?"
"The cup of coffee that the victim drank contained the same poison?" Little Jiang asked.
"Yes, the cup that the victim drank contained it, but the other two cups did not. That's why only one of them died."
Su Qingcheng said.
"Could it be that the poison was thrown on the side wall of the cup?"
Mu Chenyan asked in a low voice. She was a layman, but she could not help but ask because she felt that it was strange.
Su Qingcheng smiled. "The reporters at the time also said that they saw Yuan Zhe take out three cups and wash them in the tap. They were randomly assigned. If the poisoner wanted to harm the victim, he would have to make sure that the victim used the poisoned cup!"
"Moreover, if the poison was smeared on the inside of the cup, how do you explain the poison in the coffee pot?"
Wu Huai continued.
"Are they sure that they drank the same pot of coffee?" Police Officer Zhang Liang asked.
"Yes, the reporters said that they chatted for about half an hour while drinking. The victim suddenly got poisoned, and no one touched the coffee pot again."
Su Qingcheng had just joined the work, so she had no experience in such cases. She only explained the test results given by the forensic department.
Dark clouds hung over Wu Huai's head. The unsolved mystery made him feel complicated and heavy.
He paced in the meeting room, his face dark and gloomy without a trace of warmth. Suddenly, he asked, "How's the maid's statement?"
Zhang Liang hurriedly reported, "There are two people who work in the Yuan Family Peace Mansion and serve Yuan Zhe and his wife. One of them took a leave a few days ago, so Cui Jinhua is the only one here now. Little Cui's statement showed that she was usually the one cooking, and Mrs. Yuan would cook occasionally. The water that the victim drank before his death was purified water from home."
Wu Huai listened and looked at Mu Chenyan. The woman heard and nodded lightly in agreement.
"Did you check the water source?" Wu Huai asked.
Zhang Liang answered, "Yes, no poisonous substances were detected in the water."
Wu Huai sighed and pinched himself in discomfort. "That's strange. How did the victim come into contact with the poison?"
Su Qingcheng could not help but want to laugh. It was rare to see a person like Wu Huai like this unless he encountered a particularly troublesome matter.
Wu Huai turned around and his gaze fell on Mu Chenyan. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. For this man, his team member's conclusion was right on point — smiling was uglier than crying.
"Miss Mu, how was the relationship between Yuan Zhe and his wife?"
Mu Chenyan was not used to Wu Huai's smile. When she heard him ask about Wen Ya, she was shocked. The other police officers also looked at Mu Chenyan at the same time. As an outsider in this case, Mu Chenyan seemed to know more about the inside story than them.
"Captain Wu, are you suspecting Wen Ya?"
Mu Chenyan could not hold it in anymore. She was a little displeased.
She naturally knew how much pain Wen Ya had suffered in this marriage. Now that the person who fought fiercely was dead, the victim could be considered to be free, but she was still being suspected like this.
"Miss Mu, please don't let your emotions affect your decisions. I'm just asking out of formality."
Wu Huai could see that Mu Chenyan was hiding her personal feelings.
"Answer me truthfully so that I can make a judgment. Of course, even if you don't say anything, as the person closest to the victim, Wen Ya will still be investigated. "
After Wu Huai finished speaking, he continued to stare at Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan stood up. There was an obvious displeasure on her face. "I think since it's just formality, Captain Wu should just call Wen Ya over to investigate. There's no need to ask me." To talk about "Mr. Yuan, I Had No Choice" with more like-minded people, follow "You Read Literature" on WeChat.
