Chapter 81: Chapter 22 Proof of Innocence
The police of the Forensic Departnt soon got the test result. He cleared his throat, "The test result shows Ms. Eugen’s fingerprints on the ring."
lissa internally shuddered a little bit. Her fingerprint? How could this be possible? She had never touched that ring.
This police officer was called by Murray. Logically speaking, the police could not be bought by Adela. Then, the only possibility was that Adela had taken her fingerprints when she was not paying attention.
"lissa, now the results have proved that you stole my ring. What else do you want to say?" A smug smile appeared on Adela’s face.
"Director, she stole my ring." Adela pointed at lissa and said. "Please take her away and judge the case impartially."
"lissa, did you really do this?" Murray turned to lissa. Although all the evidence on the surface pointed to lissa, Murray felt that things were not that simple.
Although Murray and lissa had only known each other for a few days, he felt that lissa would not do such a thing.
"Of course not." lissa was still calm.
"The test result proves your theft. How dare you babble nonsense? " Adela glared at lissa.
"Murray, why do you still believe her? Our Gibson family has nothing to do with this kind of thief. So shaless to have her as your fiancée! She doesn’t deserve you!" Claire insulted lissa loudly, so furious that she would throw a punch at her.
"I’m sorry, Ms. Eugen. You have to go with us." The director stepped forward.
Considering facts of the witness’s accusation of lissa, finding the ring in lissa’s handbag and the test result showing her fingerprint on the ring, lissa was indeed the most suspected. According to the procedure, they needed to take lissa to the police station to investigate.
"No need, I can prove that I have never touched that ring," lissa said plainly.
Although her voice wasn’t loud, it was extrely penetrating and had an unquestionable certainty.
"How can you prove it? Obviously, you stole my ring!" Adela raised her voice, unable to suppress the excitent in her eyes.
Now that the evidence was confird, it was a certainty that lissa stole her ring. No matter how lissa struggled, it was useless. lissa, wait to be sent into prison!
"Of course, I can prove it." lissa plastered a fake smile. "Please give
the ring," she talked to the director next to her.
The director looked toward Murray. After receiving Murray’s acquiescence, he gave the ring to lissa.
lissa peered around. Finally, her eyes fell on the waiter. "You claid that you saw
steal the ring, right?"
The waiter nodded, "of course, I saw it clearly."
Eyes darkening, lissa said in a deep voice, "then watch
carefully."
lissa stretched out her hand and showed it to everyone. "Please look at my hand."
Her fingers were smooth and fair.
No one had idea of what lissa was up to. Everybody was whispering.
Murray’s expression was cold while he looked at lissa with a bit of curiosity.
Despite all people accusing her like a convict, lissa stood still without anger. She had the sort of confidence and calmness that not a countryside girl would display.
Murray wanted to see how lissa could prove her innocence with so much unfavorable evidence.
lissa suddenly grasped the ring in her hand. A few minutes later, her fingers turned red and swollen with many small bumps.
"Jesus, how could this happened?" Everybody looked at lissa’s hand in surprise.
lissa gave the ring to the police. "I’m allergic to platinum, the material of this ring. You’ve what I did. Once I touch the platinum, my hands will burn red, which will spend hours on recovery."
lissa’s face was pale but she kept saying, "If Adela’s ring was really stolen by , my hand would have been allergic. But as you have seen, my palm was fine just now. It was only after I touched this ring that my whole hand beca swollen. That is to say, before that, I did not touch the ring at all, so I couldn’t steal it."
After the explanation, lissa showed her hand’s injury around the crowd.
"No, this is impossible!" Adela stared at lissa’s hands in disbelief.
How could this happen? Why is lissa allergic to platinum?
"You must have played so tricks!" Adela took the ring from the policeman’s hand and looked at it carefully, trying to see if there was any problem. However, the ring was indeed the one she gave to the police, without any minor difference.
Adela’s face was totally twisted. What lissa did was unacceptable to her. She had made a flawless plan, which shouldn’t fail!
lissa saw Adela’s panicked expression. She took the ring with the other hand."If you still don’t believe , I can demonstrate it to you again."
The result was the sa as before. As soon as lissa’s hand touched this ring, it beca red and swollen.
"Now it can prove that I did not steal your ring, right?" lissa asked.
"Exactly, Ms. Eugen is allergic to the ring. So she can’t steal it." The director witnessed the whole thing and agreed with lissa.
"Thank you." lissa replied.
Then she took steps forward before stopping so inches in front of the waitress.
She gazed at her. "Now, little beauty, when did you see I stole the ring?"
The gloom in lissa’s eyes could kill a man.
Noisy crowd was suddenly silent.
Endless silence.
