Qu Manman looked closely at the lamb horn honey on the plate. The small lamb horn-shaped pastry was covered with snow-white frosting.
Amber honey-like juice flowed out from the broken part.
It looks very sweet and touching.
but--
Who would bring food to themselves and not say anything?
Qu Manman sniffed it cautiously.
Yangjiaomi is a common traditional snack in Huaicheng, and she ate a lot of it during the Chinese New Year.
Familiar with colors, smells and shapes.
At this moment, I am smelling the honeydew melon on the plate.
She always felt that there was an indescribable strange taste in the sweet smell.
What is this honeydew melon?
Qu Manman was holding the plate and looking at it.
Lin Wanxia came back with a rag and a bucket.
Seeing the honeydew melon in her daughter's hand, Lin Wanxia asked, "Who brought it here?"
I picked up one and wanted to eat it.
"Mom, don't eat."
Qu Manman immediately stopped her and reminded her, "Mom, smell it carefully. Doesn't this honeydew melon smell a bit strange?"
Lin Wanxia paused for a moment after hearing what she said, and immediately sniffed the honeydew melon in her hand.
His expression changed instantly.
She then snatched the plate from Qu Manman's hand and asked anxiously, "Manman, where did this come from? Who gave it to you?"
Qu Manman: "I don't know who gave it to me, but I heard the door open and turned around to see it by the door."
"Which bastard?"
Lin Wanxia cursed angrily, then picked up Qu Manman with one hand and rushed out with a plate in the other.
I happened to meet Wang Guilan washing vegetables in the yard.
Lin Wanxia immediately rushed over and asked hurriedly: "Second sister-in-law, please help me smell it, does this plate of honey smell like rat poison?"
Rat poison?
Qu Manman's pupils suddenly tightened when she heard this.
Wang Guilan took one sniff at the dish and jumped in shock. "It really is rat poison! What's going on? Who put rat poison in honey?"
"You're such a spendthrift! Honeydew melon is so expensive, you can't even use it to kill rats."
After confirming that it was rat poison, Lin Wanxia's face turned pale with horror.
His lips trembled as he answered, "It's not a rat poison. Someone gave this to Manman, hoping to poison her to death."
"What did you say?"
Wang Guilan was stunned by the exciting news.
Lin Wanxia no longer dared to hesitate. She hugged Qu Manman and rushed to Qu Songsheng who was having a banquet.
She shouted in panic, "Songsheng, someone gave Manman honey mixed with rat poison, trying to poison her to death."
"say what?"
The news exploded on the table like thunder.
Qu Songsheng immediately stood up and hugged his wife and daughter to comfort them: "Tell me clearly, Wanxia, Manman, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Wanxia was looking at the plate of honeydew melon and her whole body was shaking.
She replied tremblingly, "I carried Manman back to the house and planned to get a bucket of water to wipe the table."
"In the blink of an eye, I came back and saw that Manman had some honeydew melon in his hand, mixed with medicine."
Qu Manman pretended to be an innocent child and answered haltingly, "Manman was sweeping the floor when the door rang. I put it next to the door, but no one was there."
"It's delicious, but mom says I can't eat it."
Of course you can't eat it. It's mixed with rat poison and can kill people if you eat it.
Who on earth would deliberately serve drugged snacks to children? This is intentional harm!
"Call the police, everyone, this is a case of poisoning!"
Someone started shouting immediately.
Because there was a dish called "Yan Jiao Mei" on the banquet table, everyone who had just eaten it started to panic: "I just ate Yang Jiao Mei, I hope I'm not poisoned..."
Everyone checked in panic, and after checking over and over again, they confirmed that only the plate of honeydew melon in Qu Manman's hand was poisonous.
It seems that the person who poisoned her was targeting Qu Manman.
Who is so cruel as to attack a little kid like Qu Manman?
It's so scary!
Everyone speculated: "Song Sheng, did you offend someone while doing business?"
Qu Songsheng shook his head. He has always been kind to others.
Besides, he was doing business in the county and offended people from the county.
In addition to the relatives of the Qu family, the Zhou family was also present today.
There were no other unfamiliar faces.
He had no grudges against the Zhou family, and it was a big deal, especially an engagement.
It is impossible that the other party came here intentionally to harm Qu Manman.
Not long after, the police from the police station arrived.
When I heard it was a poisoning case, I took it very seriously.
I immediately asked the Qu family if they usually had honeysuckle and rat poison at home? Where did they usually keep them?
Mrs. Qu replied, "Rat poison is available year-round. We don't have a cat at home, so if we don't use it, the rats will become a disaster."
"I just bought the honeycomb recently. Both are in my room."
After that, she took the police to the room where she slept to check.
When the door opened, Qu Manman saw that there was someone else in the room.
Qu Baozhu was sleeping on the bed with the third daughter of the Yao family, who had just been born, in her arms.
Qu Yingying was sitting on a small stool next to her, reading a book.
Mrs. Qu immediately explained, "Comrade police officer, these are my eldest daughter and her two daughters."
"The younger one is only a little over a month old. She caught a cold on the way here, so I let the three of them, mother and daughter, rest in the room first."
The police walked into the room and found not only honeysuckle and rat poison, but also a plate for honeysuckle.
Qu Yingying sat quietly by the side watching the police.
Until the other party asked: "Little friend, did you see anyone in the house come to get the honey?"
She shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."
