The hand pump well is sealed; the only way to poison it is to put something in through the piston.
Water is usually drawn during the day, and the young soldiers lock the water pump before leaving at night to prevent water theft.
However, the locked box is not completely sealed. With the right tools, medicine can be sent in, either by attaching it to a tube or by letting it flow into the well.
He examined it carefully and smelled it, but found nothing unusual or any trace.
Either the person is an expert, or they are very familiar with the properties of the medicine and know exactly what will happen when it comes into contact with water.
medicine?
familiar?
Just as he was thinking this, the sound of his pet dog interrupted his thoughts.
Zhang Tong explained his purpose, and Xie Lin raised an eyebrow.
I almost forgot, he also has a big dog with a military dog tag.
unique!
Without any hesitation, he took the big dog's paw, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Shishi, can you smell where I poop?"
"But don't get too close to smell it, and don't touch it with your hands. Tell me if you smell it."
"Also, don't use a megaphone, speak softly."
The big dog didn't need to follow any procedures; almost as soon as Xie Lin finished speaking, it pointed to two places and said, "Stinky Egg, look."
Then he grabbed his shoulders and pulled him down, bringing his mouth close to his mouth, while his other hand half-covered his mouth.
Whispering softly: "Stinky egg, that's the smelliest place, and that place is smelly too. Hey, Shishi, you can hear me, right?"
Xie Lin: ......
You've stuffed your mouth into my ears, but I'm not deaf.
His dark eyes gleamed, not quite understanding what the smelliest place the brat had to do with the well.
There are two places, one is the piston of the water pump.
This is easy to guess correctly.
The other is the large banyan tree behind the well.
They weren't far apart, but they weren't very close either, about six or seven meters apart.
He lowered his voice and asked, "From this far away, Shishi isn't mistaken?"
"No, Shishi's nose is the best."
Xie Lin led the big dog to the big tree and walked around it. "Where does it smell? Is it as smelly as the water at home?"
Shishi pointed to a patch of tree bark facing away from the well, "This place smells just as bad, Shishi doesn't like it."
Xie Lin looked at the tree bark, which seemed normal, and compared it to his own height, finding it reached his thighs.
They then compared the little girl's height.
It reached her waist and abdomen.
He imagined that the person who poisoned the poison must have been hiding here.
The person was holding a bottle or other container filled with poison, which they accidentally knocked over and spilled onto the tree.
When holding a bottle, the hand is usually not hanging down, but slightly raised, most likely at abdominal height.
Judging from the location of the tree bark, this person was not tall, about the same height as a little girl.
The little girl is about 1.63 meters tall.
If it were a man, there wouldn't be many men that short in the military camp.
A whole bunch of them can be eliminated.
If it's a teenager, then he would be around fourteen or fifteen years old.
There were no teenagers in the camp.
As far as he knew, most of the children in the compound were under ten years old.
They are either adults, or many of them don't live with their parents.
Moreover, he didn't believe that an inexperienced teenager would dare to do something so audacious.
If it were a woman, the height would be suitable, but who would have the guts to stand on the opposite side of the entire camp?
Doing this requires not only courage but also a strong heart and sufficient resilience.
The military wives in the compound might make a fuss, but he didn't think they had the guts.
Of course, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
There was one more person, the one he could think of who best fit the bill.
Height, medicine.
Remembering the news he had overheard earlier, Xie Lin made up his mind and led the furry child back to the well.
While they were whispering to each other, Zhang Tong quietly observed his surroundings.
But since she wasn't a reconnaissance soldier, she didn't notice anything unusual.
She leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xie, did you find anything?"
"Mom, yes, I do, but I don't have any money or coupons with me. Why don't you go back and get your lunchbox and coupons, have breakfast here with Shishi, and then send some to Dad? I'll go to the camp to report first."
He went out to find his furry friend, without taking anything with him, not even brushing his teeth.
Never mind, we have to act expediently in this emergency.
When I'm on a mission, I only brush my teeth if I have the opportunity; otherwise, I just rinse my mouth. I'm not that fussy.
When she came out, Zhang Tong thought about breakfast. She had brought money and coupons, as well as her pet's anti-inflammatory medicine.
"No need to go back. I brought money and coupons. I'll borrow a lunchbox from the canteen to fill up some food and send it to the camp later."
"You should have two steamed buns too. You can eat them while you walk. Otherwise, you might get so busy that you won't have time to eat."
People need food to work; only when you're well-fed can you have the strength to work.
Xiao Dan acted quickly as well; as soon as he made a call to the military hospital, they immediately sent someone over.
If we take some water back for testing, we'll know what kind of poison it is.
As soon as Li Pengfei received the news, he, his wife, and Yao Lixiang immediately guarded the only route to the canteen.
Whenever a military spouse or soldier goes to fetch water, inform them that water service is suspended for the day, and those without spare water at home should go to the canteen for meals.
In fact, a temporary shortage of fresh water will not cause panic, since there are many alkaline water wells in the compound.
As long as there is drinking water and a canteen provides food, there shouldn't be a big problem.
Having gathered enough information, Xie Lin and the other two went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.
With her 6.0 vision, Shishi looked at all the dishes in the kitchen and finally chose her favorite sweet soup.
