Everyone saw that her explanation was bang on and couldn’t help but wonder, how did she know?
The cop asked her in Dawnstar language, seeing as this is odorless and tasteless, how did she figure out Molly got hit with HN2C?
Rosemary answered in fluent Dawnstar, she deduced it from Molly’s pulse. She checked Molly’s pulse just now, and it was exactly like what soone poisoned by HN2C would have.
Generally, people struck by this poison felt intense stomach pain, so painful that they passed out. When they woke up, the pain spread to their limbs, they passed out again, and when they woke up, the pain spread all over.
This process lasted for three days; normal hospitals can’t figure out the cause, and painkillers didn’t work.
This HN2C was developed by so small country, specifically for torture, so she had no idea how it ended up on the streets.
This poison can’t be ingested, and it can only seep into the skin through contact and then release its toxicity. The people of that country would let this poison touch the skin of criminals during interrogations. After a while, the criminal would be rolling on the ground from unbearable pain. Each ti they pass out and wake up, the pain intensifies until they can’t take it anymore and confess.
The cop understood, so contestant number one must have co into contact with sothing to be poisoned.
So people in the crowd turned pale after hearing what Rosemary said.
This type of poison didn’t exist in Solterra, and Queen Abby was a Solterra designer. How could she possibly know so much?
Rosemary noticed soone had been watching her, but when she turned around, she couldn’t find the person.
The cops quickly started their investigation, and the atmosphere beca extrely tense. Rosemary was sitting at the judge’s table. The other judges wanted to ask her so questions, but her cold aura scared them off, and in the end, none of them dared to ask.
This girl’s aura was too strong, and it made people feel uneasy.
Rosemary thought of sothing, took out her phone, and ssaged Hunter, telling him Molly was hit with HN2C, that it required a cocktail of dozen-plus drugs for treatnt. She even made a list of dications, instructing the hospital to follow this thod to save her.
Actually, the best thod was bleeding at several points, and it’s the quickest and most effective thod.
But this was Dawnstar. The doctors here didn’t know acupuncture or bleeding, so Rosemary could only do what she could.
She didn’t know that this thod was later kept by the hospital and saved several patients with the sa symptoms.
But that’s a story for another ti.
After a while, another cop ca to consult Rosemary in a low voice, asking her how to find which items contained HN2C.
Rosemary had them prepare a few things, mix them together, and spray them on the items’ surfaces. If the item changed color, it ant it contained HN2C. People were gobsmacked, and they didn’t expect a designer to know so much.
The cops quickly followed her advice.
Not long after, a cop yelled, aning he found HN2C on the silver diamond. Molly must have used the silver diamond while making the wedding dress, and her hand ca into direct contact with HN2C. That’s why she got poisoned.
"I rember." Just then, Isabella on the stage suddenly spoke up, "Before the competition started, I saw Penny challenging Molly backstage."
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Penny was clearly nervous, "I don’t know her. We’re just competitors challenging each other, just trying to gauge each other’s abilities, that’s all."
The cops didn’t care for Penny’s excuses, and they imdiately started checking the security footage. They found that before the second round started, everyone was preparing to go on stage, only Penny passed the box full of silver diamonds.
Penny on stage was quickly nabbed by the police.
"You have no evidence that I did this. Let go." Penny struggled on stage, shouting out loud, "I can sue you."
"HN2C can’t co into direct contact with the skin, or it will get infected with toxicity. If you want to poison soone, this stuff has to be kept in a container." Rosemary’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 aweso 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 ant for contestant number 1, Molly.
Who had zood in on the surveillance? The cops looked at each other. Who was controlling the surveillance?
After manipulating the surveillance on her phone, Rosemary noticed that as Penny passed by the box of silver diamonds, her right hand, hidden in her long sleeve, seed to pour sothing 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."
Rosemary looked at the girl on stage, who was shaking her head desperately.
"No, it’s not like that, let 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 an to do bad things. She would only be in pain for three days, and this poison wouldn’t take her life. Let 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 Rosemary. 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 ntal strength, arguably the best in the field.
"If I rember correctly, there was only one minute left till the end of the competition." Rosemary calmly said.
At that ti 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 ti to tie the knot.
