Setting: Fictional parallel universe, please do not reference historical events!
Bai Fumei Su Qingci, who managed a farm in modern times, was sent to the 1970s as a young educated youth by Ce...
Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou suffered much less pain because they induced vomiting in time.
Xiao Yuehua focused all her attention on pork stew with vermicelli and steamed pork with dried bamboo shoots, so she only suffered mild poisoning.
Feng Jianjun and the Wang brothers are in more serious condition.
The eight people occupied an entire large single room in the county hospital.
Song Jingzhou, Su Qingci, and Xiao Yuehua's hallucinations had subsided, and they only felt dizzy and weak.
The three of them sat silently on the bed, dumbfounded.
Those guys on the other side were more and more terrifying than the last.
Wang Dachui was talking to the little figure in his hand, speaking in some unknown language.
Feng Jianjun was clenching his fists, rotating them back and forth, his eyes wide open like a cross-eyed chicken.
Xiao Li'an squinted as he pulled the silk threads, occasionally flicking them with his delicate fingers to remove any saliva.
Wang Guoqing wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, leaving only his head sticking out as he sat cross-legged with an innocent expression.
Huang Yi walked in accompanied by the doctor and nurses.
They took turns using small flashlights to check each person's pupils and listen to their heartbeats.
"Doctor, how are you? Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing, hallucinations mean it's just mild poisoning."
"If he faints, that would be a real problem."
"You can't just eat these mushrooms; there are plenty of cases of them causing problems every year, so you have to be careful."
Xiao Yuehua slowly turned her head and said weakly, "Doctor, I... I'm pregnant."
"Is my baby alright?"
The doctor stepped forward, examining her eyelids while offering words of comfort.
"Consider yourself lucky. Mild mushroom poisoning only attacks the stomach and intestines, and also the nervous system, causing hallucinations and impairing independent thinking."
"In general, this won't have much impact on the fetus's development, because the key to fetal development is the liver and its two functions, and wild fungi won't attack these two organs."
"But it is still dangerous, because pregnant women are prone to doing things that harm themselves after experiencing hallucinations."
"So you really need to be careful."
Xiao Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting her mind at ease.
It scared her to death. Luckily, she likes to eat meat and doesn't eat much soup or broth.
The doctor examined each patient and gave a few instructions before turning to leave.
Huang Yi walked up to Su Qingci and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Su Qingci's pupils slowly began to focus.
"It's much better now. At least I don't see those messy things anymore."
"I just feel completely weak."
"By the way, Uncle Huang, what exactly happened?"
Are all state-run restaurants this careless?
"How is this any different from murder for money?"
"We suffered so much for nothing."
Huang Yi paused for a moment, "Originally, these things shouldn't be discussed now, but since you're involved, I can't keep it from you."
"We quickly cordoned off the scene after receiving the report."
"Then, the psilocybin mushroom was found in the fresh mushroom soup you ate."
"This psilocybin mushroom is a hallucinogenic mushroom, and its toxicity is three to four times that of Boletus luridus.
"The fresh mushrooms in state-run restaurants are all specially cultivated in planting bases, so there is no way they could have something like psilocybin mushrooms."
"So this is not simply a case of restaurant carelessness or accidental food consumption."
"It was deliberate poisoning."
"After investigation, it was found that this type of psilocybin mushroom was found in the cedar forest behind the street where the state-run restaurant was located."
"Aunt Tian, who was in charge of washing vegetables in the kitchen, also said during the interrogation that a stranger did come looking for an apprentice in the kitchen."
"Based on Aunt Tian's description and the apprentice's identification, we have identified the suspect."
"That's all I can tell you for now. We'll have to wait until the police determine the charges before we can discuss the specifics."
"Don't worry about those things, just leave them to the Ministry of Public Security. You should get some rest."
Inside the county public security office, Zhou Sui looked at the documents Huang Yi handed him with great excitement.
"Damn it, although it's very immoral, I have to say that the poison was really well administered this time."
"This Su Qingci is truly a blessing for our Ministry of Public Security."
"I've been wanting to get rid of Zhang Long for a long time. He's turned this county into a mess. Every time he commits a crime, there's not enough evidence, and someone in higher up is covering for him, so we've never been able to do anything about him. This time, let's see how he runs."
"Huang Yi, quickly assemble the team and, using this charge of murdering a state official, arrest all those involved."
Huang Yi replied with a serious expression, "Yes, Captain."
Seeing that Huang Yi had made the arrangements, Zhou Sui quickly called Zhou Lifu.
"Mr. Zhou, this is Zhou Sui. Today, a poisoning case occurred in the county, and the suspect is one of Zhang Long's underlings."
"The victims this time were Xiao Li'an, the mayor of Taohua Town, and all the security team members who participated in the competition."
"Yes, yes, I want to use this opportunity to pull this cancer out of our Feng County."
"Yes, I hope to have your support."
"Keep the deputy secretary calm for me!"
“One night, just one night, and I can seal this case for him.”
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you Secretary Zhou."
Zhou Sui could not hide the excitement on his face.
Zhang Long, nicknamed Brother Long, is a gang leader in Feng County with dozens of henchmen. He makes a living by running underground casinos and lending money at exorbitant interest rates to the local people.
This group has committed several murders, but unfortunately, Zhang Long always manages to absolve himself of all responsibility each time he commits a crime.
