Chapter 373 The Evidence
"I found it!" After a two-day's rest, Fabian finally found something strange when he watched the video again. He called Kevin and Lucy to see with an excited tone.
Kevin and Lucy, putting down their tea cup at once, rushed up to him and looked at where he pointed at. In the video, after Allison and Jacob Carter came into the room, they sat opposite to Amy and Otto Ellis. Allison pointed at Jacob's cup and said his cup was Amy's style. Her fingers lingered on the cup for a second although she didn't touch it.
"Let's magnify it." Kevin made a suggestion. Then they noticed that Allison made a slight movement with her index finger and middle finger. It was almost imperceptible.
"Look, I think it is at this time that she poisoned the water in Jacob's cup." Fabian speculated.
Kevin agreed with him. Even though it's not easy to notice, it was the best timing for Allison to poison the water because since then she had never touched Jacob's cup.
"I think so. But this is not a HD video, so we can't see the poison." Lucy pointed out the key problem that a slight movement over the cup couldn't prove anything.
"Hello guys. I brought you good news." Richard walked into the room when they were talking.
"What is it?" Kevin was eager to hear some good news because he was so depressed recently.
"Andy has found out where the poison is from and only one person has ever bought it in the whole R city." Richard sat down happily. He had been running about for several days. After he paid a visit to Amy, he felt more distressed. He couldn't help worrying about her even though she kept telling him not to worry.
"Who?" they asked in unison.
"Hadrian." Richard affirmed.
The poison Allison used was rare in the market and one could get it only through seeking personal connections. They couldn't have found out where she got it if it were not for the coincidence Andy came
across.
With things as such, the only important thing was that Amy could be saved.
"Wow, great! If we have made sure Fabian bought the poison, Allison's behavior then can be explained. Richard, look at here." Once finding out who the poison belonged to, their video could be helpful as well. After watching the video, Richard was relieved to find that all the evidence was collected. The next thing he should do was clear Amy's name.
When Allison was subpoenaed, she didn't know what was happening. The court staff was stopped at the door by Hadrian.
"We have court summons and Allison Field has been sued. Please don't obstruct official duty." One of the court staffs said to Hadrian.
"Sued for what? My sister has been staying at home all the time. She didn't do anything against the law." Hadrian stopped them at the living room.
"You must be Hadrian Field, are you? You will be summoned later. Mind your own business." A court staff said to him.
Allison was attracted by the noise downstairs. When she saw the courts staffs in uniform, she wanted to run away instinctively.
"Hadrian, stop them. I don't want to go to the court." She said while shaking her head.
"Allison, this is not up to you. You are summoned because you are charged by Amy Miller." They looked at them in a disappointed way, wondering that why they violated the law since they were so afraid to be caught.
"You are Hadrian Field, aren't you?" another two court staffs came for taking Hadrian away.
"No, no. We are good citizens. What evidences do you have to catch us?" Hadrian kept pushing and struggling.
"If you refuse to cooperate, we have to carry out compulsory execution." They were ready to catch Allison and Hadrian by force.
Hadrian, almost forgetting his sister, pushed them over and dashed out of the door.
"Hadrian, Hadrian!" Allison was caught while she was yelling her brother's name, wishing him to save her. Hadrian, however, turned a deaf ear to it and ran away quickly.
With the inarguable proof, Allison had to admit her guilt. Amy was released from prison soon.
"Amy, go on with your life after you go out. Seize the day and be happy." Viola and Paige gave Amy their best wishes before Amy was free.
In the prison, they established deep friendship after going through many calculations from Libby and Anita. Now that Amy was going to be released, they sincerely wished her well. Amy was wronged so she would go out sooner or later.
"Viola, Paige, I will come back to see you." Amy was truly grateful to them, who helped her a lot in the prison.
"No, don't come here again now that you are released. It is not a good place." Viola patted Amy on the shoulder and pushed her out as she said.
After Amy got out of the cell, Ms. Kim, the prison officer, picked her up and walked her for a long way.
"Learn to protect yourself." Kim said suddenly before Amy was going to get out of the gate of the prison. Then she turned away.
The door was about to close before Amy turned back to see her.
There was a man who had been waiting for her. The sun in winter, which was far from warm, shone on people coldly. A gust of cold wind made her ears painful. The wind kept Amy in a cold shiver. Though wrapped in a thick down coat, she still felt cold.
Richard held her in his embrace and wrapped her with his overcoat,
"Amy, I'm sorry to let you suffer." He gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.
