Julian sneered, “Ohh. What a coincidence! Julian thought, “I didn’t know Abigail is eloquent. “However, being eloquent is meaningless in front of the truth.” Abigail said, “There are many coincidences in life. For example, we were engaged, but in the end, you married Anna.” Julian ignored Abigail and called another group of subordinates. He asked, “How’s your investigation with the waitress?” “Today, we found all the waiters and waitresses who made tea. None of them know Abigail Barton. One waitress said that she had given a person a tray and some cups of tea because the customer asked for them. The customer that the waitress mentioned should be Abigail Barton.
“The waitresses said they definitely did not add anything other than tea leaves to the tea. All the tea was made in the pantry, which had more than a dozen cameras. The surveillance footage of the pantry will show whether they are innocent.” Julian said, “Investigate the waitress who gave the tray to Abigail! Focus on her!” Abigail felt nervous, and her heart beat faster. She forced herself to remain calm. Abigail said inside, “Luckily, I didn’t ask the waitress to run away. If she runs, it will only cause more suspicion.
“The waitress and I didn’t have any phone call records. I found the waitress a few days ago and gave her 5 thousand dollars in person. “As long as the waitress refuses to give in, Julian will never find any evidence.” Julian hung up the phone and glanced at Abigail. He called again and put it on speaker. Julian asked, “How is it? Have you found the rat poison at Bethany Langdon’s house?” Hearing this, Abigail’s eyes flickered again.
Julian raised his eyelids and stared at Abigail again. Julian’s gaze made Abigail feel even more nervous. She quickly looked away. The subordinate replied, “We’re searching. Bethany Langdon said she forgot which corner she put the rat poison in. Julian said, “No worries. Take your time. If you need more people, you can ask Horington’s police to assist you.” Abigail started to pinch the corner of her shirt uncomfortably.
Abigail blamed inside, “Mon is so stupid. The day before yesterday, I reminded her to mix some rat poison and leave it in every corner of the house. “If she can’t find it, she can only explain that the rats ate the poison. I hope mom can be smart and make up some lies to get over the questioning.” Just then, Julian’s phone rang. Julian pressed a button and put it on speaker again.
The subordinate reported, “We didn’t find any rat poison in Barton’s house. Bethany Langdon said that she mixed the arsenic in the food, and rats might have eaten them all.” Julian said, “Ask her how many piles she put in the corners. She should have put more than one pile of poisons to kill the rats.” “She said there might be five to eight piles. They’re all small piles. She can’t remember the detailed numbers.” “The poison was all eaten by rats?” “Yes, she said the rats must eat it all.”
