Chapter 101:Using Another’s Knife to Kill (2)
So, the residue of that flower fruit tea became the most crucial clue in solving the case.
The captain put on a mask and gloves, rummaging through the trash can.
Enduring the foul smell of garbage, they searched desperately.
Finally, before the garbage truck arrived, they found the trash bag containing the flower fruit tea residue.
Fortunately, there wasn’t much inside.
Apart from waste paper, there was a pile of red and purple tea dregs.
The captain picked out the waste paper, handing the tea dregs to his assistant. “Take this for analysis; get the results as soon as possible, hopefully by noon.”
“Okay, Captain.”
On the way back to the store,
Haden explained the entire situation regarding the flower fruit tea in detail to the captain.
The captain noted everything down.
Once the analysis results were available, they would proceed with the next phase of the investigation.
After the police completed their on-site investigation, they left.
Haden drove home.
After a night of tossing and turning, his face looked extremely unpleasant.
As soon as he entered the house,Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Tanya greeted him, bending down to change his slippers, saying, “Old Master, you’re finally back.”
Her eyes, however, were surreptitiously observing his expression.
Haden remained silent, leaning against the shoe cabinet and changing into slippers.
Tanya pretended to be calm and asked, “Old Master, what were you busy with? You’ve only just returned after such a long time. I told you earlier, just let the staff handle it. You never listen. I’ve told you, at your age, why do you keep meddling in these matters? If you get tired, I’ll feel sorry for you.”
Haden still didn’t utter a word, heading straight to the water dispenser.
The more he acted this way,
The more guilty Tanya felt.
She followed him, picked up a cup for him, and asked, “Old Master, do you want some water?”
Haden nodded.
Tanya turned on the water dispenser. “The water is cold; I’ll heat it up for a while.”
Haden, in a gloomy tone, said, “Just drink it cold.”
“Alright.” Tanya bent over, filling a cup with cold purified water and handing it to Haden.
As he reached out to take it, he suddenly lifted his hand.
Spilling the water on Tanya’s face.
Tanya was stunned, raising her hand to wipe the water off her face, both angry and wronged. “Old Master, why did you splash water on me?”
Haden grabbed her collar and pushed her back forcefully.
Tanya, unprepared, bumped into the wine cabinet with her back.
It hurt, causing her to grit her teeth.
Even more aggrieved, she said, “You’re unnecessarily pushing me around. Why did you do that for no reason?”
Haden looked at her with a frowning expression. “Did you order someone to destroy the store’s surveillance?”
Tanya was taken aback.
Soon, she burst into laughter.
Casually, she leaned against the wine cabinet, playing with a strand of hair hanging down.
In a lazy tone, she said, “Old Master, what nonsense are you talking about? What surveillance? I have no idea.”
Ignoring her, Haden continued, “You intentionally mentioned drinking flower fruit tea can alleviate morning sickness. You purposely placed that box of tea prominently on the dining table. All to use me to get rid of the child in Helena’s belly, right? Tanya, your trick of using another’s knife to kill is truly well-calculated! I’ve really misunderstood you before!”
Tanya’s well-maintained face changed color slightly.
However,
She quickly returned to normal, smiling lazily. “Old Master, everything requires evidence. Without evidence, you can’t casually accuse me.”
Haden spoke each word deliberately, “Rest assured, the police have intervened in the investigation. It won’t be long before the evidence comes out.”
Tanya lowered her eyelids, not saying a word for a long time.
However, her fingernails left deep imprints on her palms.
