"It's impossible. I personally tasted everything, including every drink; there couldn't have been any problem."
"Then why did those symptoms appear on them? Why didn't you show the sa symptoms?"
"That, I don't know. At the ti, I was also anxious about dealing with the teacher's passing, and since the others didn't exhibit symptoms, these matters were gradually forgotten."
"The two who showed symptoms, who were they? Do you rember?"
"That, I do rember. One was Shi Ling, and the other was Zhang Qiang."
"Do you have their information?"
"Where would I get their information? Besides, so many years have passed, I have no recollection at all. What's going on? What exactly are you thinking of?"
"I just feel that if that is really the case, then there must be sothing that could affect them internally but not you, which ans their bodies must have sothing in common."
"Have sothing in common."
"Yes, that must be it."
"I still find this confusing. If they have sothing in common, then what does that explain?"
"It ans that their bodies, ah, I can't explain it to you in just a word or two right now. Anyway, that's the situation. By the way, have you been in touch with his widow?"
"I've been abroad these past two years, and I haven't contacted her. What about you? Haven't you always been here? Haven't you kept in touch?"
"During the holidays, I did visit her. Seeing her always downcast made feel sad, so after a while, I visited less often. However, I would still send her ssages and visit to offer support."
"No way, you're not suspecting his widow, are you? I tell you, it's absolutely impossible. For all these years, she's been by his side, taking care of him. How could she possibly harm him?"
Li Jingwen, it seed, couldn't make any sense of his words.
The teacher was a very good person, and in front of these students, his widow was like a mother to them, taking ticulous care of them whenever they visited their ho.
Could it be that now Lin Yi had such great suspicions of his widow?
"No, no, that's not what I ant, and who I'm suspecting, it definitely wouldn't be his widow."
"Exactly, I was going to say. You are too heartless, after all she did for you. Do you still rember the pair of shoes she made for you?"
"I rember; I'll never forget. Even though those shoes are now worn out, I've never thrown them away. They have always been on display in my ho's cabinet."
"So, after all this beating around the bush, what exactly are you trying to tell us?"
Li Jingwen seed a bit perplexed.
With all she talked about today, she found it all sowhat unbelievable.
"I suspect that our teacher must have been poisoned back then."
"What did you say? Poisoned by soone else? That's impossible. Besides, he was such a good person, how could he have offended anyone?"
"That, I'm not sure about, but I always felt that there was sothing wrong with his death."
"How can you be so certain?"
"I'm one hundred percent sure. I didn't think much about it at the ti, but later, after coming across a lot of information, I realized it couldn't be due to natural causes; it must have been an accident."
"So you're saying that there was sothing wrong with the al we prepared that night?"
"Yes, it's very possible. That dicine might be harmless for you, but for soone with his illness, it would be a deadly poison."
"Who exactly was it?"
"Do you even need to ask? It had to be soone who knew the teacher very well because without knowing him, the person couldn't have conveniently put the dicine in the food."
"But I recall, that night it was just a few of us there, plus the teacher and his widow. I can't think of anyone else."
"I'm just asking if soone had entered the kitchen besides those few, or if soone had been to the teacher's house?"
At this point, Li Jingwen hesitated just a bit.
After all, so many years had passed, and asking her now, her mory was indeed blurry.
When she spoke just now, she was only trying her best to retrieve what fragnted mories she had.
After pondering for a long ti, Li Jingwen just silently shook her head.
"Really, I can't think of anyone."
"Are you unsure whether soone ca or can you definitively tell that no one else was there that night?" Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
"I can say with certainty that before we left, definitely no one else had been there, but after we left, I'm not sure. And it was after we left that night when the incident occurred."
"It couldn't have been after we left. Moreover, after the dicine enters the body, the 'dicinal Effect' takes ti to manifest. It would take around three or even four hours before you'd see any effect."
"Three to four hours, considering our dinner ti, that aligns with when the incident was reported to . So, this tiline basically matches."
Although Li Jingwen had never doubted this matter before, and even now as Lin Yi spoke, she hadn't considered it.
However, listening to Lin Yi's analysis, she felt it all made sense.
If that were true, could it be that they had been secretly plotted against?
"No one else went there, and the teacher wouldn't have poisoned himself, so even more unlikely is talking about his widow like that. Honestly, I believe the person who poisoned him is among us."
Li Jingwen suddenly expressed this bold idea.
Though it sounded absurd to him, even incomprehensible.
