After Chad Chow left, Virginia Davidson asked right away, "William Cole, where's Norbu Miao?"
"He escaped." William Cole shook his head.
The women asked in unison, "Was it truly Norbu Miao who poisoned her?"
"It should be him. Look here." William pointed to the crushed bug eggs on the ground from his previous fight with Norbu Miao.
"This is an undead insect from Miao territory, which generally goes unnoticed once inside a human body."
"I suspect Mrs. Chun had something to eat today that led the insect eggs to ravage her stomach, hence her unbearable pain."
His eyes narrowed. "Norbu Miao hurried over in such a rush because he was afraid of his plot being discovered, so he accused Mrs. Lawson out of convenience."
Mrs. Lawson's pretty face was pale. Clearly, she'd been frightened by the incident.
If it hadn't been for William Cole, she would have been wrongfully accused. She smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Dr. Cole."
"No need for thanks. I only spoke the truth."
