1682 Innocence
“The hospital is nearby. Let me take you to get your hand bandaged.” The beauty took out her phone and called the police and insurance company. Her attitude was very sincere.
Wen Kaiwei could not argue with her. The blood on his hand annoyed him. He really could not go to his friend’s banquet with blood on his hands.
Seeing that the insurance company and the police had both arrived, there should be no problem. Wen Kaiwei followed them to the hospital for simple treatment and examination.
Fortunately, it was just a light scratch.
The police and the insurance company were very polite and repeatedly apologized to him. The beautiful woman also sent him out.
Although Wen Kaiwei had experienced such a small episode, everyone was flattering him, which made him rather happy. After coming out, he did not drive his own car anymore. His friend had sent a car to come pick him up, and he happily attended the seaside party held by his friend!
At the same time, Mr. Andrew responded to He Xuyan as quickly as possible.
“Director He, the biological experts we contacted have already given us a response. They said that the divine fish will indeed secrete a special colorless and transparent mucus when it’s in danger and or being hunted. Once this mucus touches a person’s skin, it’ll take at least two weeks to remove all traces of it. To confirm if someone has touched the fish, we only need to drip a special reagent on their skin to prove it. Director He, please come over.”
He Xuyan suppressed his thumping heart and said, “I’ll be right there.”
He knocked on the door of Su Bei’s room and could not hide his joy. “Su Bei, the information you found the other day has been verified to be true.”
“So we just need to check Zhiqin and Xiao Ling’s skin to prove their innocence?”
“Yes. Mr. Andrew invited us over.”
Su Bei immediately changed her clothes and got into He Xuyan’s car.
She was very confident in Xu Zhiqin and Xiao Ling, so the two of them were much more relaxed on the way there.
Mr. Andrew received the two of them. “Mr. Su, Director He, the method you mentioned has been confirmed to be effective by biological experts. We can do the test immediately.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Andrew smiled and said, “I wonder where you found out about this? Even a local like me has to say that I’m impressed.”
Su Bei smiled and said, “I just happened to see it in the local library.”
Mr. Andrew was extremely impressed. To be honest, if he wasn’t the one dealing with this matter, his understanding of this fish would be very limited. What everyone said about it being worshipped like a god was only passed down by word of mouth. In reality, everyone rarely saw this fish. If he wanted to know more about it, he might really have to specially read professional books.
However, why would ordinary people read such books?
Even though they had been in customs for so long, they had only handled two such incidents.
The first time was with that singer, and the second time was with Xu Zhiqin and Xiao Ling.
The biological expert arrived. He was wearing a white coat and a mask. He was holding a medical kit in his hand.
Xu Zhiqin and Xiao Ling were invited out.
Customs officers, the police, and the biological research lab had arranged for representatives to be present to witness what unfolded next.
He Xuyan was the one who arranged for all these people to be present.
Otherwise, this case might get delayed and they could not afford that.
Seeing He Xuyan and Su Bei attending in formal attire, Xu Zhiqin felt relieved.
She believed in herself.
She also believed that Su Bei and He Xuyan would definitely help her clear her name.
Only Xiao Ling was exceptionally nervous. This was the first time she had experienced such a big scene in her life. She was so nervous that she was about to cry.
Xu Zhiqin tilted her head and said, “It’s okay, Xiao Ling.”
Hearing this, she calmed down a little.
The biology expert said something, and the interpreter translated, “Now, we’ll drip a special reagent on their hands, arms, legs, abdomen, and other key spots to see if they’ve touched the divine fish.”
Even if they had worn gloves to deal with the fish, the fish’s mucus was very slimy and sticky. Even gloves could not completely block it.
Testing various spots of their bodies could help protect their innocence to the greatest extent.
The reason why the previous singer was convicted so quickly was that although she did not catch this fish by accident, she had taken photos herself and posted them on her WeChat Moments. Hence, the evidence was conclusive and there was no room for negotiation.
As a result, no one suggested testing her for mucus.
In the end, the company spent a lot of money to avoid her going to jail for five years, but in the end, her career was still sacrificed.
This time, Xu Zhiqin and the others used a brand new method to solve the problem. Whether the two were innocent or not would soon be revealed.
Xu Zhiqin sat down calmly and stretched out her arms and legs.
The video recorder at the side recorded the entire process.
A female biology expert stepped forward and dripped the reagent on her.
Xiao Ling’s heart was in her mouth. She looked at Xu Zhiqin and confirmed that she had never touched these things before. However, at this moment, she was still feeling unsure.
A moment later, Xu Zhiqin’s limbs and abdomen turned light blue. Xiao Ling’s expression changed drastically.
Xiao Ling was also asked to sit down so that the reagent could be dripped on her.
Soon, a light blue color appeared on her body.
Su Bei tugged at He Xuyan’s sleeve worriedly. His expression was also very solemn.
They didn’t know what light blue meant.
They did not find any information on this beforehand.
The biology expert said, “Through the test of this reagent, we’ve determined that neither Xu Zhiqin nor Xiao Ling has ever touched an Orlando double-tailed finfish. We didn’t find any traces of mucus on them. The mucus of an Orlando double-tailed finfish can penetrate silicone, rubber, plastic, and all other gloves. Since we didn’t find any mucus on them, we can confirm that they’ve never touched this fish.”
He spoke in English. After Su Bei and He Xuyan heard this, they finally smiled.
When Xiao Ling heard the interpreter’s words, she cried with joy. She hugged Xu Zhiqin and said, “We’re fine! We’re innocent!”
Su Bei chuckled and said in a low voice, “Fortunately, when those people gave Xiao Ling the vacuum-packaged Orlando double-tailed finfish, they also used a special paper wrapper. Xiao Ling took it and casually glanced at it before putting it in the suitcase. Otherwise, it would’ve been really hard to explain.”
