Chapter 185 The Poisoning Truth Finally Comes to Light

Following Hua Gui's advice, Cao Huan refused to admit it, even pointing out that Tang Wan was the one who poisoned him.

However, having not received much education and lacking mental fortitude, he eventually confessed after several rounds of questioning by the police.

She recounted the entire process of poisoning the victim.

She didn't want to expose Hua Gui and He Ruhua, after all, her parents had taken their money and receipts, and her younger brother was using that money to get married.

However, under the police's ideological education, psychological warfare, direct attack, and key breakthrough interrogation techniques, her psychological defenses collapsed. She no longer cared about her parents and younger brother and confessed everything about He Ruhua and Hua Gui.

He Ruhua cried and pleaded, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Although I poisoned him, it was Hua Gui and He Ruhua who made me poison him. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

She recalled the scene of Cao Hao hiding in the woodpile, her face filled with fear: "I didn't mean to kill him, he was just greedy, I really didn't mean to kill him."

The He family.

He Ruhua was filled with fear and anxiety at home, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Hua Gui was much calmer. She scolded, "Look at your pathetic self. If the police take you away, won't you just confess everything at once?"

After saying that, he comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't tell anyone."

She even reached out and tapped He Ruhua on the head, scolding, "Cheer up, stop being so jumpy."

As a result, the police came to the door.

The family of three was taken back to the county public security bureau.

This matter has become the talk of the town in Jinniu Brigade.

When they were arrested, He Ruhua wailed, Hua Gui shouted that she was innocent, and He Guangliang, though looking terrible, remained the most composed.

Before anyone could react, they were confused as to why the police had suddenly arrested the He family. Could it be that the rat poison was related to them?

Lei Yongxia, Chen E, Chen Xiang, Niu Zhenzhen and others were also confused. Later, they learned what had happened from Tang Wan and then spread the word.

The entire Golden Bull Brigade was shocked. After going around in circles, they discovered that the person who poisoned the poisoner was Cao Huan, who was instigated by He Ruhua and Hua Gui.

No wonder Cao Huan has been getting so close to Hua Gui lately; Hua Gui's food processing team let Cao Huan in first.

After Hua Gui was arrested, the food processing team she ran was also shut down, which lasted for a week.

Apart from the other members, Yuan Fang, Liu Li, and Shi Feng were all dumbfounded. They were about to make a lot of money, but then something bad happened.

None of them expected that Cao Huan was the murderer, nor that Hua Gui and He Ruhua, mother and son, were also murderers.

The thought that they were still working for Hua Gui suddenly sent chills down my spine; she had people's lives on her hands.

When Wang Yuqing appeared in front of them, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak. They were ashamed and embarrassed.

After all, they all insisted behind her back that Wang Yuqing had poisoned the food, and they had been gloating for days because Wang Yuqing's food processing team had been disbanded.

Everyone thought Wang Yuqing had suffered a major setback and would have to keep a low profile from now on. But it turned out that nothing happened to her, while Hua Gui and He Ruhua, who had been at odds with her, ended up in jail.

When He Ruhua and Hua Gui were arrested, Zhao Si and Qian Juan were pacing anxiously at home.

After all, they were the real culprits. Although their goal wasn't to poison Cao Hao, now that Cao Hao is dead, the couple is furious and blames Cao Hao for choosing to die instead of running into them.

For the first time, Qian Juan had the courage to angrily scold Zhao Si: "It's all your fault for coming up with this stupid idea! What are we going to do now? My God, we're going to die, we're going to be finished!"

She slammed the door shut in fear and paced anxiously inside: "What do we do now? He Ruhua has been taken back to the police station. She'll definitely implicate us, just like Cao Huan implicated her and her daughter. This is a life lost! Even if we're not executed, we'll be locked up for life."

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Zhao Si packed his things overnight and ran away alone.

The Jinniu Brigade had no idea that Zhao Si had run away, nor did they suspect him.

As soon as He Ruhua entered the police station, she was so frightened that she confessed everything, and of course, she also blamed Zhao Si and Qian Juan for everything.

She confessed everything, and in an attempt to mitigate her punishment, she also revealed that Zhao Si and Qian Juan had instigated her to report Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening for having an affair at the commune.

She added, "It was also that couple who talked about this and that in front of me, instigating me to go and settle accounts with Wang Yuqing."

Hua Gui knew nothing about this.

Wang Yuqing didn't know either.

Originally, He Ruhua's grudge against Wang Yuqing wasn't that big. It was all because of Zhao Si and Qian Juan that the grudge escalated, leading He Ruhua down a path of no return.

Why do Zhao Si and Qian Juan hate Wang Yuqing so much?

Hua Gui said, "Back then, Zhao Si and Xiang Guang were the deputy production team leader and the production team leader, respectively. They got into a fight and accidentally killed Ji Xuening's brother. They were imprisoned for several years and became bad elements. Whenever there were any good opportunities or positions in the brigade, they would never get them. So, Zhao Si held a grudge. But he was also very cunning and never showed it, for fear of gossip."

"This couple doesn't interact with anyone normally, but they are actually very cunning behind the scenes. They are just jealous of Ji Xuening's good life and harbor resentment towards what happened back then."

The police returned to the Jinniu Brigade and went to Zhao Si and Qian Juan's home. They found that Zhao Si had already run away, and only Qian Juan, her two children, and two elderly people were left at home.

Zhao Si became a wanted criminal.

This plot twist completely baffled everyone. They never expected it to come back to Zhao Si and Qian Juan, because they didn't think Zhao Si and Qian Juan had any deep-seated hatred for Cao Hao or Wang Yuqing.

Grandma Cai spoke up, "How can you say there's no grudge? Have you forgotten how the fourth brother died?"

These words woke everyone up, and to everyone's amusement, Zhao Si actually abandoned his wife, children, and parents and ran away alone.

Wang Shuo and Ji Xuening were both quite shocked. The two men often got together to have a headache and tried their best to get Tang Wan and Wang Yuqing back to normal.

It turned out that the two of them were putting on an act.

Not only were they shocked, but the entire brigade was shocked. Many people were gloating that the two had become enemies and now it seemed like they had been slapped in the face several times and were in great pain.

Especially Yuan Fang and Liu Li.

These past few days, they had tried to curry favor with Tang Wan, but Tang Wan preferred to stay with Cao Huan and ignored the two of them. Although the two of them were angry, at least Tang Wan didn't pay any attention to Wang Yuqing, so they felt a little better.

As it turned out, Tang Wan's friendship with Cao Huan was just a ploy to extract information and obtain evidence of her poisoning.

Apart from Tang Wan, Wang Yuqing, and the police, no one in the entire brigade knew that they were acting.

This rat poison incident implicated Cao Huan, He Ruhua, Hua Gui, Zhao Si, Qian Juan, and He Guangliang. This was undoubtedly the biggest event to have happened in the Jinniu Brigade over the years.

The old Party Secretary was extremely anxious and at his wits' end.

Three days later, Zhao Si was arrested by the police. In the end, Zhao Si was sentenced to death, Cao Huan to life imprisonment, and He Ruhua and Hua Gui were sentenced to ten years in prison.

He Guangliang was released and sent home. Throughout the entire process, He Ruhua and Hua Gui insisted that He Guangliang knew nothing about the matter. As for sending money and receipts to the Cao family, Hua Gui took the blame for it all.

He Guangliang also said: "I knew nothing about this. If I had known, I would definitely have made the mother and daughter turn themselves in."
