Chapter 681: 224: Truth revealed, icy cold handcuffs
With this explanation, Maureen’s defenses instantly dropped, as it’s normal for a girl to worry about inadvertently revealing herself.
If she were Sylvia, she would also be very concerned.
Maureen smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Sylvia, that surveillance camera can’t capture anything. And I’m with you! I went out that day wearing big shorts and didn’t even wear underwear. If there’s going to be a loss of face, I’ll lose it with you.”
With this, Sylvia became even more uneasy and squinted as she asked, “Maureen, don’t scare me! Can that surveillance camera really capture anything? Have you checked the surveillance yourself, or did you just hear the landlord say it was broken?”
Maureen was always carefree, and Sylvia was afraid she would get in trouble because of her.
At this moment, Sylvia regretted it very much.
Regretted not checking it thoroughly herself.
“I’m not a fool; of course I’ve checked!” Maureen continued, “Now there are so many perverted landlords, what if someone saw everything?”
“That’s good,” Sylvia sighed with relief.
After all, this camera was installed in the living room.
If it captured anything, she wouldn’t have a good explanation.
…
At the police station.
Ling sent all the items retrieved from Maureen’s residence to the forensic center.
Afterward, she came to the forensic department.
“Captain, please check if there’s any problem with these medications.”
The Captain took the medications.
Analyzing pills was quick.
In about ten minutes, the results were out.
The Captain handed the report to Ling, “There’s no problem with the medication, there’s a bottle of vitamin C and a bottle of vitamin B12D, and the blue bottle contains acid-suppressing medication.”
“What’s acid-suppressing medication?” Ling asked.
After all, when she took the medications, Sylvia hadn’t mentioned that there was acid-suppressing medication inside. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Thinking back, Sylvia’s expression at that time seemed a bit tense.
Therefore, Ling subconsciously felt that there might be something wrong with the acid-suppressing medication.
The Captain answered, “The acid-suppressing medication, also known as gastric acid secretion inhibitors, can inhibit the H2 receptors and H+-K+-ATP enzyme necessary for gastric acid secretion, reducing gastric acid concentration and protecting the stomach.”
Hearing this, Ling furrowed her brows slightly, “So the acid-suppressing medication is fine? It can’t cause someone to become unconscious?”
The Captain smiled, “Acid-suppressing medication is for protecting the stomach; it can’t cause unconsciousness.”
Ling nodded.
Shortly after.
The forensics department also sent results.
No fingerprints were found on the clothes and wig retrieved from Maureen’s house.
Hearing this, Ling’s brow furrowed slightly.
At this moment.
There was a knock on the office door.
“Ding ding ding–”
Maureen looked back at the door. “Come in.”
A moment later, the door was pushed open.
A slender figure walked in from outside the door.
The person wore a white coat and black pants.
She had her hair up in a simple bun.
She looked clean and neat, with a youthful vibrancy and a somewhat cool air.
“Officer Kim.”
Ling showed a rare smile, “Miss Thompson.”
Ling was always a stern and unapproachable superior in the police station, rarely smiling at people.
Viola Thompson was one of the few people who could make Ling smile.
Viola stepped in, her tone light, “Did you find anything at Maureen’s house?”
“We found clothes and a wig,” Ling went on, “but no fingerprints were extracted from those items.”
Hearing this, Viola frowned slightly. Before she could speak, Ling said, “Miss Thompson, please come with me.”
All the retrieved items from Maureen’s house were placed in the evidence room after being examined.
There were a total of four items.
A black shirt, black jeans, a wig, and four bottles of medication.
“Were these medications also retrieved from Maureen’s house?” Viola asked.
Ling nodded, “Yes, these are Sylvia’s items. I took them to the Captain for examination, and he said they are just very common vitamin tablets.”
Viola’s expression remained unchanged as she picked up a pair of rubber gloves nearby and put them on unhurriedly.
Her movements were slow, but for those watching, it exuded a sense of unstoppable nobility.
After putting on the gloves, she examined the medication bottles carefully.
Amelia happened to walk in and see this scene.
Amelia raised her eyebrows slightly.
She knew about the medication bottles Ling had just brought back from Maureen’s place.
The labels were all in French.
Could Viola understand them?
Just as Amelia was about to offer to find a translator for Viola, Viola spoke lightly, “Vitamin C and B12, and one bottle of acid-suppressing medication.”
Hearing this, Amelia’s eyes filled with surprise.
She never expected that Viola could actually speak French.
