"I am a dancer and I need it for performances and events. I also use dry ice for practicing at home. My son sometimes uses some for fun. I think it's convenient and cost-effective to store some at home, so I don't have to go out so often."
Police: "Did you buy those cans of chia seeds?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
"Do you know that there is cyanide inside them? And only the can you use, has it, the others don't."
I widened my eyes in surprise and said, "I really didn't know that. I bought them when I was performing somewhere. My colleague said they could be used to stabilize blood sugar and protect cardiovascular health, so I wanted to buy some for my mother-in-law."
"Do you have any conflicts with Rebecca in your daily life?"
Rebecca was my mother-in-law's name.
I denied, "No, ever since I married into the family, my parents-in-law have treated me like their own daughter. My mother-in-law hopes that I can stay at home and take care of the family. But due to my special physical condition, I have difficulty getting pregnant and can only adopt a child. I have become pregnant twice, but unfortunately, I couldn't carry the pregnancies to term. I don't think this can be considered a conflict, as we have never argued about these things."
As I said that, my hand touched my flat stomach.
Hearing my words, the police officer said something to the other, who had been noting down the information.
Then she immediately turned her head and asked, "Okay, one last question. What were you doing on the day your mother-in-law had the accident?"
I looked blankly at her and said, "To be honest, I also had a car accident on the day when my mother-in-law died by accident, so I don't remember exactly what happened. After the accident, I can't remember anything that has happened recently. I'm really sorry."
The two police officers exchanged a glance.
I was afraid they didn't believe me, so I quickly explained,
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital to check. I just got discharged today."
The police officer stood up and shook hands with me, saying, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Today's conversation has been recorded and will be verified. If there is anything else we need, we will contact you again."
I pleaded, "Madam, if my mother-in-law's death was not an accident, please do your best to find the real culprit!"
"This is our duty. Please rest assured!"
