When everyone wanted to send Jacob to hospital immediately, Allison insisted on calling the police.
"There is no time left. If we don't send him to hospital now, his life will be in danger," said Amy to Allison.
"No, I'll call the police first. It is impossible for him to have a stomachache immediately without reason. There must be someone doing harm to him." Then Allison called the police.
Due to the stomachache, Jacob had fainted for several times. Cathy came here, too. Allison, however, didn't agree to send him to hospital unless the police came.
Luckily, the police came quickly and investigated the scene. Then they kept the scene intact and sent Jacob to hospital.
He was indeed poisoned. After arriving at the hospital, his guts decayed. It was a really strong poison. Amy and Allison were controlled by the police and were interrogated to give some evidence.
"What happened just now?" asked the police to Amy. Amy told what happened in detail and said she didn't know why he got poisoned.
"Hold out your hand. We need to get something," said the police. He observed her hands carefully and found that there was something in her fingernails and the ring finger, which had not been rubbed away completely yet.
"What's this?" asked the police.
"This? Maybe I got it somewhere. Perhaps it was dust." Amy took a look at it. It was light flesh-coloured so she took no notice of it.
"OK, we're going to test it. Jacob is poisoned so everything on your body needs to be tested," said the police to Amy.
"Alright." Amy nodded.
After the interrogation, the three people were not allowed to get back. Instead, the police arranged three rooms for them to rest and let them wait for the result of the test.
When they were waiting, a bad news came that Jacob was poisoned to death. Amy recalled what had happened but she didn't find any evidence showing that Allison poisoned him. At that time, Allison wanted her to drink Jacob's water but she didn't do that. Didn't Allison want to poison her? But why didn't she stop him from drinking that cup of tea?
Amy kept thinking about it. Suddenly, something occurred to her. Allison was calm since the accident. It was she who offered to call the police. That meant she got into Allison's trap.
Richard stayed outside and felt very anxious but the police didn't allow him to see Amy. Cathy had called him and told him what had happened. Since Jacob was poisoned to death, the police was strict about this case. Therefore, they three could get home and see their families.
"My wife is timid. She must be very scared. May I go to comfort her?" said Richard to the police.
"No. They three are suspects now and your wife is the most suspected one. We have found something in her hands, which is being tested. Please wait for a while. When the result of the test comes, you can go to see her," said the leader of the police. He was very responsible. Even other people in the police office said he could go to see Amy but he didn't agree.
