Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 201: Even with Irrefutable Evidence

Jiang Xingye interjected, "Last night, I came back and passed by the zhiqing station, and it was Zhiqing Jiang Chengxu who told me that Zhiqing Xu was at the clinic."

Jiang Chengxu’s original words were, "Since you are engaged to Qinghuan, you should protect her well. It’s so late, leaving her alone at the clinic. If anything happens, I will never forgive you!"

It was also because of these words that when Jiang Chengxu blocked his way, he didn’t make a move against him.

Jiang Chengxu’s suspicion is very high!

Peng Yutao asked, "Meng Yibing, you were poisoned. Besides drinking, did you eat anything else yesterday?"

"Poisoned? I didn’t eat anything else, I just drank wine. It must be Jiang Chengxu. He poisoned the wine intending to kill me. That wine was given to me by him, saying that if I lacked the guts, I could drink some to boost my courage."

Meng Yibing exclaimed in terror, but he was very weak, so his voice was not loud.

Jiang Chengxu yelled, "I only gave him the wine. I don’t drink alcohol, I sent it to him out of goodwill. I didn’t poison it."

If it cannot be confirmed that Jiang Chengxu poisoned him, and he only incited Meng Yibing to do such a thing, it wouldn’t be enough for a conviction.

Peng Yutao asked, "Where is the wine?"

"At the zhiqing station, in my cabinet." Meng Yibing fumbled and handed a key to Peng Yutao.

Jiang Baohua accompanied the police to the Liaozhong Team, and after more than half an hour, the team leader of the Liaozhong Team also came back with them. The police brought out half a bottle of Maotai, the kind that costs eight yuan a bottle.

Peng Yutao sniffed the wine in the bottle and, after confirming that it was good wine, handed it to Dean Shao, "Dean Shao, can you help check if the poison is in here?"

Dean Shao smelled it, poured a little out, and licked it with his tongue, "It’s in here. That type of poison can only exert its maximum effect when dissolved in alcohol."

"Jiang Chengxu, what else do you have to say?" Peng Yutao asked.

Jiang Chengxu didn’t admit it, "I didn’t do it. I only gave a bottle of wine. Is gifting wine a crime?"

Now, the entire logical chain is clear. Jiang Chengxu instigated Meng Yibing to make a move against Xu Qinghuan, predicting that once Jiang Xingye found out, he’d never let it slide. If Jiang Xingye beat Meng Yibing to death, he wouldn’t escape the blame.

But it’s not easy to beat someone to death. If his heart condition is triggered and he falls into a state of reversed blood flow, just taking a few punches, Meng Yibing would die for sure.

As for whether Meng Yibing would disgrace Xu Qinghuan, Jiang Chengxu wasn’t worried, because if Jiang Xingye didn’t arrive in time, he would have intervened to save Xu Qinghuan.

That could also move Xu Qinghuan, as he protected her at the crucial moment, even if he couldn’t beat Jiang Xingye, he could save her in times of crisis.

So, no matter the outcome, the one who ultimately benefits is Jiang Chengxu.

But he calculated a thousand times and didn’t foresee that Xu Qinghuan’s medical skills would be so extraordinary.

If Xu Qinghuan knew this was Jiang Chengxu’s setup, she would definitely praise it as the work of a person capable of being a politician!

This sinister scheme truly commands respect!

But now finding out who poisoned the wine is a very difficult task.

Fingerprint identification has a long history, but currently, it is not widely used in criminal investigations, and Anping County is just a small county with not very advanced forensic techniques.

"Dean Shao, Zhiqing Xu, what poison was used in the wine?" Peng Yutao planned to investigate the case from the perspective of the poison used.

Dean Shao hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Peng Yutao, "It’s a very common plant, called Atropa Belladonna."

Peng Yutao was not unfamiliar with Atropa Belladonna. It’s practically everywhere.

He scratched his head, realizing that at this point, the case had hit a bottleneck, so he could only take everyone back for now.

Although Jiang Chengxu was not yet deemed criminally liable, because the victim himself accused him, he was also taken away.

"That wine isn’t mine!" Jiang Chengxu said at the crucial moment.

"Then whose is it?" Peng Yutao asked with a frown.

Jiang Chengxu pointed at Xu Hongtu, "Xu Hongtu gave it to me. I don’t drink, so I passed it on to Meng Yibing. I never opened that wine from beginning to end."

Xu Hongtu was extremely shocked. He never imagined that Jiang Chengxu would actively implicate him. He looked at Jiang Chengxu, and a gleam of deep light flashed in Jiang Chengxu’s eyes. Instantly, he understood Jiang Chengxu’s meaning: don’t think you can stay out of it, and don’t even think about protecting yourself.

Either they live together, or they perish together.

"That wine was brought from Shen City by me. I originally planned to use it for networking here, but it wasn’t used, so I returned it to Zhiqing Jiang. When we went to the countryside, we didn’t get along well with the team leader. My intention was for him to use it as a gift," Xu Hongtu calmly said.

Reaching this point, he was no longer afraid.

Because there’s no evidence to incriminate them.

As long as they testify for each other, they could easily clear their suspicions.

Xu Hongtu and Jiang Chengxu were taken away together.

Xu Manman saw Xu Qinghuan and Huo Chi talking together, and she hurried over, teary-eyed, "Sister, even if you’re no longer engaged to Brother Chengxu, you shouldn’t harm her this way."

Xu Qinghuan slapped her with a backhand, causing her face to swell instantly, "Get lost!"

Xu Manman covered her face, tears streaming down with a kind of pitiful beauty, looking pitifully at Huo Chi, crying out, "Why do you always hit people? Where did I go wrong?

Also Brother, he always treated you as his best sister, treating you better than me. How can you treat them like that?"

She had to make Huo Chi see Xu Qinghuan’s true nature; she was a snake-hearted woman.

It would also be best if he could see her own soft-hearted nature, as men tend to like kind-hearted women.

Xu Qinghuan looked at Huo Chi with a faint smile, Huo Chi rubbed his forehead, smiling with some helplessness, a trace of very dangerous light flashing in his eyes,

"Zhiqing Xu, there are too many flies and bugs here, such a nuisance. I look forward to seeing you at the county hospital so we can have a detailed talk?"

Xu Manman, considered as flies and bugs: ...

She looked at Huo Chi in disbelief, but the latter didn’t even spare her a glance.

"Alright!" Xu Qinghuan said, "I’ll tidy up here first, then I’ll head over."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you in the car!"

At this moment, Huo Chi had completely relaxed. If Xu Qinghuan couldn’t cure his brother, then it was destined that his brother would lose a leg.

As he now owed her a favor, Xu Qinghuan had to think of a way to repay it when going to Yan City. She would also do her best to get the Huo Family to give her that piece of evidence.

Jiang Chengxu didn’t panic either, after all, he had lived another life. Even if his plans didn’t succeed, it wouldn’t put him in a passive position.

Even if the evidence was conclusive, he had the ability to avoid legal responsibility and stay out of it.

After being detained, regardless of the interrogation, Jiang Chengxu denied everything, believing that everything he did was very secretive. As long as no one saw it, no one could do anything about him.

The afternoon weather changed suddenly, turning cloudy after the wind picked up.

Zhou Chang’an stood at the back door, looking at the two nearby Atropa Belladonna plants, dark green and lush. Half a footprint was left outside, and if not witnessed by someone standing there picking them, no one would have noticed.
