In that moment, Doris Young felt a wave of anxiety wash over her as she listened to Donald Lance. With urgency in her voice, she asked, “Captain Lance, given your expertise, do you think my father is more likely to have identallye into contact with this poison, or is it more probable that he was deliberately poisoned?”


    “That’s a tough question,” Donald Lance replied thoughtfully. “Right now, our situation and the clues we have are quite limited. Unfortunately, we don’t have any solid leads to guide us in our investigation.”


    Then he continued, “By the way, Ms. Young, is it possible to question your father in his current state? If we could ask him some direct questions, we might uncover more useful information.”


    Doris Young shook her head, letting out a sigh. “My father has been in a deepa for the past two days…”


    Donald Lance paused for a moment, then said with a slight grimace, “Tsk… What a predicament.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “You mentioned that your father was only briefly conscious before falling ill, which makes me think he’s more likely to have been poisoned at home.”


    “It seems very probable that he was poisoned through food or drink.”


    “If it’s not too much trouble, could we search your home for clues? If we can find any highly toxic substances there, we could trace the source of the poisoning!”


    “Once our professional criminal investigators examine the scene, we may uncover even more valuable information.”


    Upon hearing this, Doris Young quickly responded, “Absolutely! I can arrange it right away. When would be convenient for you?”


    Donald Lance replied promptly, “This is urgent. If possible, let’s head over now!”


    Doris Young nodded eagerly, “Of course! I’ll gather a few people and we can leave immediately.”


    Turning to Dr. Kelso, she added with a pleading expression, “Dr. Kelso, my mother has been quite anxious these days; please don’t mention any of this to her.”


    Dr. Kelso agreed without hesitation, “Of course, Ms. Young. You can count on me to keep this matter confidential.”


    “Thank you so much, Dr. Kelso!” Doris expressed her gratitude before turning back to Donald Lance. “Captain Lance, shall we go to my house now?”


    “Yes,” Donald Lance confirmed with a nod. “Let’s not waste any more time; we should go now!”<fnb5de> Checktest chapters at find?novel</fnb5de>


    Fifteen minutester, Doris Young arrived at her cottage with several police officers and technicians from the Criminal Investigation Division.


    Doris’s family was rtively well-off, with her parents earning a high ie and her own earnings being substantial as well. They owned a small vi in Aurous Hill, boasting over 300 square meters of space, three floors, and a yard.


    The vi featured an elegant Chinese decor style, with high-quality furniture and appliances throughout, reflecting a family that valued a high quality of life.


    The police officers donned shoe covers and gloves, employing various professional tools to conduct thorough technical inspections of the property.


    In the midst of this, Doris Young was entirely consumed by her father’s case; the seriousness of the situation had made her forget about Charlie’s meal altogether.


    All she wanted was to uncover the truth behind her father’s poisoning—whether it was an unfortunate ident or the result of malicious intent!


    …


    Meanwhile, at Mr. Quinton’s residence, it was dinner time. Before Doris Young arrived, Mr. Quinton approached Charlie and asked quietly, “Master Wade, since Ms. Young hasn’t arrived yet, do you think we should start dinner or wait for her?”


    Charlie contemted the situation. Since Doris Young had not yet shown up, it suggested she was upied with something important. He realized that if he called her now, even without intention to rush her, she might feel pressured by the urgency of the matter.
