The male supporting character was actually myself.

[Final Mission: Expose the presence of the same chemical substance at Su Ziqing's chemical plant; identify your own bag. Reward: Medal x1.]

Xiao Bai was so angry that his little head was practically steaming. "This stupid mission is going to wipe us out!"

I'm so angry! I'm so angry!

"So we're not going to do the mission?" Jiang Chen asked jokingly.

Its puffy little belly immediately deflated again, "That...that won't do."

You won't get medal rewards if you don't complete tasks.

Host, you need to collect ninety-nine medals to redeem a chance for rebirth!

Moreover... my evaluation includes not only the completion of tasks, but also the medal evaluation... medals will be destroyed if the medals are not up to standard.

woo woo woo...

"Host, you'll have to suffer a little."

"Okay." Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation.

After taking statements, the police quickly selected the first batch of individuals to be questioned. Meanwhile, the results of the urgent testing of the toxins were also determined.

"Have you ever seen this kind of toxin before?" Jiang Chen walked into the makeshift interrogation room, sat down, and a police officer pushed the test report over and asked.

He looked at it carefully and nodded. "I know this kind of chemical. It's commonly found in chemical plants. Su Ziqing has a chemical plant in the suburbs. I've seen it there."

"Mission complete 50 percent," Xiao Bai reported dejectedly. "Now all that's left is to self-destruct."

The two interrogating officers exchanged a glance and quickly wrote something down.

"Is it that chemical plant called Tiancheng?"

"Yes! But... as far as I know, their ingredient preparation room is very strictly managed and has a lot of surveillance cameras installed."

"Shouldn't an investigation reveal whether these toxins leaked from the chemical plant?"

"Do you recognize this bag?" The officer pushed over another photo, which clearly showed his own decorative bag!

Jiang Chen nodded calmly, "This is mine."

Is there a problem?

After I got here, I hung it on the coat rack in the rest area, where everyone comes and goes and can see it.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. The reward has been issued." Xiaobai said weakly, "I finally understand why the host next door refuses to do missions."

If it were me, I would have quit long ago if I got a script like that!

To help the protagonist rise to power, they willingly walk into a trap and bear false accusations... Waaaaah... Supporting characters have no rights!

"Anything you've noticed regarding the poisoning case?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "As everyone knows, Ziqing and I are a couple."

She hosted the entire banquet tonight.

To ease the burden on her, I kept an eye on the situation in the inner hall.

Uncle Su didn't eat much today, and the wine he drank was just randomly taken from the servant's tray. Others also ate and drank these things, so it was impossible for poison to be put in them.

This chemical is highly toxic. As far as I know, the effects of ingesting just one gram should take no more than fifteen minutes.

During this time, the only thing that distinguished him from everyone else was his bowl of longevity noodles.

The noodles were prepared in the kitchen and served by staff. There should be surveillance cameras from the kitchen to the dining area, which might be able to uncover clues.

Oh, by the way, the banquet was held in the inner hall.

Because I was sitting near the exit, I noticed that besides the attendants, only Su Li, Kang Pingrui, Duan Zhenzhen, Du Xinyu, and Niu Jian went out.

There are security cameras at the entrance; you can check them.

Jiang Chen left the interrogation room, exchanged a meaningful glance with Su Ziqing, and gave her a knowing smile.

"What's your take on the criticism that the rescue was very timely, as if you knew beforehand that your father would faint?"

Su Ziqing directly pulled out the photos sent by her assistant from the internal app on her phone, "Actually, I not only prepared paramedics and special ambulances;

There's even a specially trained fire brigade on standby in the backyard.

As for why this arrangement was made...

You've probably heard about the discord between Su Li and me, and how his girlfriend claimed to be more than two months pregnant and insisted on attending the banquet despite all the objections.

I am the main person in charge of the banquet. If anything happens to her, wouldn't my father, who is eager to have a grandson, blame me?

So I arranged for emergency medical personnel to prevent anyone from causing trouble and blaming me.

The firefighters were deployed after the sudden fire at the manor last month. They are all waiting in the back square; you can ask them questions at any time.

Have you ever seen this kind of toxin before?

“I have one in my Tiancheng Chemical Plant. I even took my friends to visit it a while ago, so it left a deep impression on me.”

Have you seen this bag before?

"It should be Achen's... I remember he was carrying a bag like this when he came in, but I haven't seen him since he got busy."

Is there something wrong with his bag?

To ensure the banquet went perfectly, I installed many hidden cameras.

The banquet center is surrounded by numerous areas, including the inner hall, rest area, kitchen, and covered walkways, with virtually no blind spots. Surveillance footage can be accessed if needed.

The officers' eyes lit up when they heard the news!

They immediately had Su Ziqing take them to check the surveillance footage, which mainly covered the kitchen and rest area.

After all, a glass bottle containing poison was found in Chu Jiangchen's bag, which is direct physical evidence and is very important!

Chapter Forty: The Truth

Su Ziqing, who was accompanying the police to review the video in the newly set-up confidential monitoring room, was somewhat distracted.

Many images flashed through her mind.

"Su Li and Du Xinyu will definitely go all out. When they strongly insist on participating in a certain activity, that's the time to act!"

"Before that, you must strengthen the management of all your companies that could potentially be exploited, such as pharmaceutical factories, chemical plants, and fireworks factories that are relatively close to Jincheng!"

All procedures must be strictly standardized. In areas containing hazardous chemicals or explosives, covert surveillance equipment must be secretly installed, ensuring that staff are not aware of it.

"As long as you are well prepared, do not stop Su Li and Du Xinyu from participating in any activities. On the contrary, you should try your best to lure them out."

The more anxious they are, the easier it is for you to find fault with them.

Let's make sure they can't fight back this time!

"Qingqing, you'll be in charge of arranging my 50th birthday celebration next week."

Oh, right, Su Li just called and said Du Xinyu is pregnant and wants to get some fresh air, so he asked me to let him attend her birthday party.

"Do you think we should let them come?"

"You're pregnant so soon? That's wonderful news! Of course we should celebrate! Let's have a lively celebration on your birthday!"

"If that's the reason... then you'd better prepare another special ambulance, the kind that's called a mobile hospital, and equip it with the most professional team."

Otherwise, what if, taking advantage of the crowd and the lively atmosphere, that green tea bitch Du Xinyu tries to frame you by making something up about your stomach?

Early preparation ensures nothing goes wrong!

Those voices echoed in Su Ziqing's ears, and at that moment she was extremely grateful that she had followed Achen's advice completely.

"This is the surveillance video from the rest area." A professional staff member pulled it up and fast-forwarded to 7 p.m.

Jiang Chen walked in from outside, casually hung her bag on the coat rack, glanced back and left. After that, many people came and went in the rest area, some stopping and some staying.

Fast forward to 9:56 PM, and because the banquet has started, a person walked into the lounge that had been empty for a long time!

She glanced around furtively, tiptoed to the coat rack, and with her gloved right hand, pulled a glass bottle from the bodice of her dress, quickly stuffed it into Chu Jiangchen's bag, and then fled as if running away.

The staff quickly rewound a few seconds, pausing the footage on her action of placing the glass bottle.

The hidden camera was pointed almost directly at her face, capturing it clearly!

"Du Xinyu, Su Li's girlfriend!" Su Ziqing shouted angrily upon seeing this scene, "That slut! She eats at my house, lives at my house, and even tries to kill my dad!"

The surveillance footage was burned and given to the police.

Now pull up the kitchen surveillance footage!

The pastry chef said he cooked the longevity noodles around 9:30 a.m., and he remembered it clearly because he had been cooking them for about three minutes.

From the moment it was cooked, we've been investigating who touched this bowl of noodles!

The staff quickly retrieved the video and set it to 9:30.

The only bowl of longevity noodles in the entire event was cooked and, steaming hot, was poured by the pastry chef into a delicately decorated small bowl that had been prepared beforehand.

Immediately, a servant stepped forward, placed the bowl of noodles on a tray, and left the kitchen.

The next video clip comes from a camera on the covered walkway, clearly showing a servant carrying a bowl of noodles out of the kitchen and walking towards the inner hall.

Along the way, servants passed by from time to time, greeting each other, but nothing seemed amiss.

They found the surveillance camera at the back door of the inner hall. The servant walked slower and slower, looked around, then turned right and disappeared from the camera's view!

"The surveillance cameras in the flower hall can capture that location." The staff member, familiar with all the hidden cameras, immediately identified the exact location and time.

There's someone behind the wall!

As soon as the servant turned the corner, the man immediately stood up, took out a glass bottle from his pocket, quickly opened it, poured the contents into a bowl of noodles, and stirred it.

He put the bottle back in his pocket, took out a wad of cash, stuffed it into the servant's hand, and said a few words.

The image freezes on the screen, showing that the person who poisoned the bowl of noodles was none other than Su Li!

"Next, we need to trace where the toxin came from, and we'll have to trouble you for your cooperation, Mr. Su." The officers breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the evidence.

When the police first received the report and learned that there had been a poisoning incident at the Su Family Manor, which had directly poisoned the big boss, Su Minghe, everyone felt heavy-hearted and thought it was a difficult case to solve!

Unexpectedly, after taking statements from the scene and reviewing them, it was discovered that they were not needed at all!

As expected of a wealthy family, their vast estate is covered with a network of surveillance cameras, both overt and covert, so they solved the case simply by watching the footage!
