Chapter 265 The situation is not too optimistic
Butler Zhao was already overjoyed at the moment, but he suppressed his joy and said with a stern face, "Shen Lan, are you trying to put the blame on Xiao Xia?"
Xiao Xia was horrified when she heard this and looked at Shen Lan: "Ms. Shen, I admit that I do have some dark thoughts, but I really didn't poison you. Please don't accuse me."
"Master, you can have someone check my movements. I will fully cooperate and I have a clear conscience!"
Xiao Xia quickly expressed her loyalty to Xiao Yun with sincere words.
Some colleagues in the kitchen hesitated for a moment, then began to speak up for her.
"Xiao Xia is with us all day, so there's no chance for her to poison us."
"Yes, Xiao Xia is kind-hearted. This time it was a matter of a moment's thought. She would never poison you."
Shen Lan chuckled inwardly when he heard this.
She lived alone on the third floor, so she had the opportunity to poison someone. Xiaoxia couldn't have poisoned someone, so why would she?
Butler Zhao looked at Shen Lan with a gloomy look: "Miss Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Lan spread his hands: "I have nothing to say, let's wait for the police to come."
"I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin..."
"Butler Zhao!" Xiao Yun suddenly interrupted him, his eyes dark and filled with warning: "You've been a bit extreme and impulsive today."
Butler Zhao's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't control my emotions well. I'm really scared of what happened twenty years ago repeating itself."
After saying this, he shut up tactfully.
The police arrived quickly and made a lot of noise. The old lady from the small Buddhist temple next door also rushed over after hearing the noise.
After learning the whole story from Butler Zhao, the old lady's eyes were filled with anger and she said in a deep voice, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Lan and said softly, "Don't worry, Miss Shen. You have been wronged in this matter. Our Xiao family will give you an explanation."
The old lady's attitude was very clear. She didn't believe that Shen Lan had poisoned her, and she even stood up to support Shen Lan.
This obvious preference caused a storm in Butler Zhao's heart.
This is different from what he thought.
In his expectation, the old lady loved the young master very much, and would be furious when she learned that the young master's food was poisoned. Regardless of whether the real culprit was found or not, she would directly expel all the people related to it from the Xiao family to prevent anyone from escaping the net and to prevent the accident from happening again, and to eliminate it directly at the source.
But it was incredible that the old lady actually believed Shen Lan unconditionally, especially when all the evidence pointed to her.
Why? What happened?
Butler Zhao was puzzled.
Of course the old lady believed in Shen Lan, as she was the apple of her grandson's eye. Others might not know Shen Lan's peculiarity, but how could she not know?
Since she is a family member, of course I have to show my attitude and not let the girl suffer any injustice.
A few minutes after the police arrived, a few more people came in with professional equipment and wearing white coats. They looked like laboratory technicians.
After obtaining the consent of Xiao Yun and Shen Lan, the police began a large-scale search of the entire Xiao family.
After a period of chaos, there was indeed a harvest.
But this harvest was not very friendly to Shen Lan.
The police found a packet of white powder in the jasmine flowerpot on Shen Lan's balcony.
Butler Zhao instantly perked up: "Miss Shen, this powder should be considered as evidence."
"The powder was found in your room. The third floor is a special area, rarely visited. You even told the maid ahead of time that you would clean your room yourself, which eliminates the possibility of a frame-up. The powder could only have been placed there by you."
"What else do you have to say!"
When Butler Zhao finished speaking, his tone was sharp, the veins on his neck bulged as if they were about to explode, his eyes were wide open, and his teeth were chattering.
"The young master is so good to you, why do you want to hurt him?"
Shen Lan frowned, not wanting to pay attention to him. She looked at the policeman and asked, "Are there any fingerprints on the powder packaging?"
The policeman shook his head: "No fingerprints."
Butler Zhao interrupted, "You're quite cautious, even wiping your fingerprints clean..."
"Shut up!" Shen Lan was annoyed by the noise and shouted.
Butler Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking he had seen his own young master; the fierce aura was truly similar.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun swallowed the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth, relaxed his tightly furrowed brows, and curled the corners of his lips.
Without Butler Zhao to interrupt, Shen Lan exchanged a few words with the policeman, then turned to Xiao Yun and said, "I suspect someone is targeting me. This medicine bag was buried when Hua was delivered and placed in the yard."
