Chapter 711
“You have no evidence that I did this. Let me go.” Penny struggled on stage, shouting out loud, “I can sue you.”
*HN2C can’t come into direct contact with the skin, or it will get infected with toxicity. If you want to poison someone, this stuff has to be kept in a container.” Arabella’s voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone on her collar, “HN2C usually exists in liquid form.”
Everyone turned to look at her and found her to be very calm, very awesome indeed.
Then, the big screen on stage suddenly switched to the surveillance footage. Before everyone could react, they saw Penny indeed passing by that box filled with silver diamonds.
The box was labeled as number 1, clearly meant for contestant number 1, Molly.
Who had zoomed in on the surveillance? The cops looked at each other. Who was controlling the surveillance?
After manipulating the surveillance on her phone, Arabella noticed that as Penny passed by the box of silver diamonds, her right hand, hidden in her long sleeve, seemed to pour something liquid onto the box.
Zooming in further, they could vaguely see that in her hand was a small white bottle.
Soon, the police rummaged through Penny’s belongings but–found no useful information. Then, they checked the trash can and found a bottle of Vitamin C that Penny had recently discarded. Upon opening it, they indeed found traces of the HN2C–liquid, which, if not looked closely, could have been mistaken for water.
With such concrete evidence, Penny on stage was so scared that her legs turned to jelly, and she collapsed on the ground.
Why was she found out so quickly?
Who exactly was Queen Abby, and how did she know so much?
“So it was you.” Isabella pointed to Penny, “You just misled everyone, saying that I had a grudge against Molly. You are really scary.”
Arabella looked at the girl on stage, who was shaking her head desperately.
“No it’s not like that, let me explain.”
The police slapped cuffs on her, obviously not giving her a chance to explain.
“No, I haven’t finished the competition. I haven’t gotten the rank.
All the way, Penny was still rambling.
“I just didn’t want to lose, and I didn’t mean to do bad things. She would only be in pain for three days, and this poison wouldn’t take her life. Let me go, and the judges haven’t scored yet. I was manipulated, poisoning wasn’t my intention.
As Penny was led away by the police, the venue fell silent, with many people looking at Arabella. They didn’t expect that at such a young age, she first diagnosed what poison Molly had been given and then helped the police catch the culprit.
The key was that she remained very calm from beginning to end, showing no panic.
She had excellent mental strength, arguably the best in the field.
“If I remember correctly, there was only one minute left till the end of the competition.” Arabella calmly said.
At that time on stage, all the contestants had completed their work, only Molly was too slow due to the pain and only managed to modify the hem part of her dress.
She had sewn many fluttering butterflies on the hem; the last butterfly was just sewn, but she didn’t have time to tie the knot.
