Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

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.
