Chapter 368 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

Preston said with a look of steely determination, “It won’t be long.” Captain Caleb Leigh was a very good friend of his. After Preston lost his memory in the car accident, they stopped contacting each other. But the first thing he did when he regained his memory was to contact his old friends. Even though six years had passed, he felt like yesterday once he reconnected with them. None of his good friends had changed and they were closely bonded like in the old days. He planned to find a time to get together with them. Unexpectedly, before they could meet, something unfortunate happened to his grandmother. He asked Caleb to take Lucy away and interrogate her. Lucy was the key person to unravel the truth. If she was the culprit, they would make her confess. If she wasn’t, she would definitely be able to recall some unusual details. It was impossible to swap the medicine without leaving any proof. The phone rang. It was Captain Leigh. Preston immediately picked up the phone.

“Caleb, how did it go?” Captain Leigh said, “Based on my years of experience, I can basically confirm that she’s not the perpetrator. asked her to recall the details. She said she went to a designated drugstore every three days to buy the medicinal ingredients after your grandmother had surgery. “She was afraid that someone would tamper with the medicine, so she was very careful with it and would personally cook it and serve it to Madam Blake. “The medicinal ingredients she bought this time are a little different. The color of the Panax notoginseng doesn’t look right.” “Since something is amiss, why did she still give it to my grandma?” Preston was furious. Captain Leigh explained, “She thought it was because of the lighting and her poor eyesight, so she asked a servant to take a look at it. The servant also said nothing was wrong with it.

Madam Blake had been taking the medicine for a long time and she was fine. So, she didn’t think too much. But she was petrified. It was only when we were on the way to the police station that she realized that the color of the two medicinal ingredients was a little different.” “Caleb, please continue to look into it. Since there is a problem with the medicinal ingredients, get your men to check on the

drugstore. I’ll find a way to check the accounts of all the staff working there,” Preston said. “Okay,” Captain Leigh replied. Preston immediately contacted his hacker friend. He first asked his friends to check if a large sum of money had been transferred out of the accounts of Jared, Michelle, or the others. Meanwhile, Captain Leigh brought Lucy to the drugstore. Lucy immediately identified the person who had given her the medicinal ingredients. “It’s him. He gave the medicine to me.’ The staff, Owen Scott, was attending to other customers at that moment.

Seeing a group of police officers bringing Lucy over, he panicked, but he forced himself to be calm and asked, “Lucy, what’s going on?” He didn’t run. Because he thought that running away would mean that he was guilty. Wouldn’t a guilty conscience prove that he had committed a crime? Therefore, he did not run. Anyway, he was in the security camera blind spot when he dispensed the medicinal ingredients. Without the footage, he could assert that the medicinal ingredients he gave were correct. Captain Leigh presented his ID and said with a stern face, “Police officer. I need your help with a case. Do you know her?” He pointed at Lucy. Owen nodded. “Yes, I do. She is Lucy. She comes to buy medicinal ingredients every three days.” “What ingredients? Do you remember?” Captain Leigh asked. “Yes.” Owen nodded. “Panax notoginseng, radix aconiti, white pheony root…”

He gave Captain Leigh a list of medicine names. “Take a look at this.” Captain Leigh took out Lucy’s phone and showed a picture to Owen. Every time Lucy went back with the medicinal ingredients, she would take a photo to compare them. Upon seeing the photo, Lucy was once again upset and heartbroken. She was so angry that she wanted to slap herself. “I clearly noticed that the color was different. Why didn’t I ask Dr. Woods or Miss Annalise to take a look at it? “Nothing would have happened if they had checked it. “Why did I ask the servant to look at it? What does she know? “Both of us know nothing about medicine, yet we said it was because of the lighting and the difference between the old and new stock. “We even said the dark-colored one was better.” Lucy thought remorsefully. After Owen looked at the photo, he pointed at the one on the right and said,

“This isn’t right. This is Gynura segetum. But what is written on the prescription is Panax notoginseng. I always give Lucy Panax notoginseng. And this is radix aconiti, but this is aconitum nagarum. There’s aconitine in the aconitum nagarum. It’s poisonous.” “Are you sure you didn’t give her the wrong medicine?” Captain Leigh asked with a frown. Owen was very certain. “It can’t be wrong. When a customer comes to buy medicine, we will check the prescription carefully in case the patients take the wrong medicine and something regretful happens. Besides, Lucy comes here very often. I can even memorize her prescription, so how can I get it wrong? “In addition, we have limited stock of Gynura segetum.

We basically don’t need it. For medicines that aren’t commonly prescribed, even if it is on the prescription, we will ask customers to verify with their doctors if it’s correct.” The owner of the drugstore was notified that the police were there. Therefore, he immediately came over and asked what had happened. Captain Leigh requested to check the surveillance footage on that day to see if Owen had taken the wrong medicine. In the end, he found that there was a surveillance blind spot. If there wasn’t a blind spot, everything could be explained as a coincidence. However, the surveillance blind spots could only mean one thing premeditated. it is Captain Leigh asked the drugstore owner for a contact list of the drugstore employees and then asked Owen to go to the police station to assist in the investigation. Owen nodded and left with Captain Leigh. After sending the employee contact list to Preston, Captain Leigh took Owen’s statement in person. Owen answered all of his questions calmly.

Captain Leigh told Owen to think carefully if he has missed out on any details. Lucy had gotten Gynura segetum, but Owen said what he gave her was Panax notoginseng. Captain Leigh didn’t understand what exactly had gone wrong. Over at the drugstore, Captain Leigh also asked the boss to sort out the purchase orders to find out how much Gynura segetum they had ordered, how much they had sold, and the number of remaining stocks. Sitting in the interview room, Owen looked extremely calm. He thought it was done flawlessly. He had brought the Gynura segetum over himself. There was only a small dose for three days. He was in the surveillance blind spot. And he received the money in cash.

Moreover, the money had been deposited into his girlfriend’s account. He did not touch it either. After everything blew over, he planned to use the money to buy a house and get married the next year or the year after. Over at Jared. Seeing that Preston did not take any action after being hammered by the netizens, Jared snorted disdainfully.

“Hmph! So what if he has regained his memory? He’s still a piece of trash. “He wants to fight me? He still has a long way to go.” Jared was in a good mood. He walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of red wine, and gently swirled the wine glass before taking a sip. The slightly astringent taste of the Cabernet Sauvignon gave him a lot of pleasure. Michelle walked over and said worriedly, “Jared, the police are investigating it now. Will they suspect us?” Jared scolded, “What are you so panicky? The police are just doing their job. Do you really think that they are all genius detectives like those in the drama series? This will be unresolved in the end. You don’t have to worry about it. Tell Adam to put more effort into the company. It will be handed over to him sooner or later.” “Alright, I understand.” Michelle was very happy when she heard the last sentence.
