Li Hongying stared blankly at Zhao Wensong, making gurgling sounds in her throat, but she couldn't say anything.
The police brought paper and pen, but Li Hongying was not only unable to speak, she also lacked the strength to write, and she was like a lump of mud.
The police captain ordered his men, "Gather all the educated youth living here."
As a result, the educated youth living here were successively recalled from the fields, and the police would not tell them what had happened.
When the educated youth learned that the police were looking for them, they were all confused and didn't know what had happened. However, they were afraid that they had done something wrong and were quite scared.
In short, in their conventional understanding, it's almost never good news when the police come looking for them.
Especially when the police came to Lin Shanshan, she was so frightened by the sight of the police officers in their white uniforms that her legs went weak.
Has her poisoning been discovered?
That's impossible. Poisoning is colorless and odorless. Even if Li Hongying was poisoned, the doctor wouldn't be able to detect that she was poisoned, and the police wouldn't know either. So what are the police here for?
She mentally prepared herself before the police arrived. After all, the police weren't looking for her because of that incident, so why should she be afraid?
Sometimes, people who have done something wrong will find themselves paranoid, even if they know in their hearts that their wrongdoing will not be exposed, they will still be afraid.
She kept telling herself that the police weren't there to find her, and tried her best to stay calm.
"You must be Lin Shanshan, the educated youth from Linzhou." The policeman walked up to her.
"Yes, that's me."
"Please come with us back to the educated youth settlement now."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't tell you right now, you'll find out when you get there."
"oh."
After the police officer turned around, she followed behind him.
As she walked down the street, she remembered the small medicine bottle she had kept. She had originally planned to use the drug residue inside to deal with other people who had offended her in the future, but the police coming to her door this time filled her with fear.
Fearing that Li Hongying's affair might be exposed one day, they were determined to dispose of the medicine bottle as soon as possible, leaving no trace.
After the police left, she quickly got to do this.
Educated Youth Settlement
All the educated youth currently residing at the educated youth settlement were summoned. The male educated youth included Tong Jianxin, Zhang Guoqing, Meng Bin, Bai Zhaoguo, and Qin Jianjun, while the female educated youth included Jiang Manyue, Ning Peipei, Sun Tiantian, Chen Yuling, and Lin Shanshan.
The police took their statements one by one.
Lin Shanshan was the last to give a statement. When she heard that Professor Chen had found out that Li Hongying had been poisoned, and that Professor Chen suspected that Tong Jianxin had also been poisoned last year, her face turned pale.
She didn't expect her secret to be exposed so quickly.
What she didn't expect was that such a high-grade poison given to her by her mother could actually be detected.
Seeing that her complexion had worsened, the police did not say anything and continued to handle the case according to normal procedures.
The police captain asked, "Are these the only educated youth in the brigade?"
“A few others have moved out,” Tong Jianxin said.
“Bring them here too. We need to bring them here no matter when they moved out, especially those who were living here before last winter. We must get them to come.”
So, Song Yinglan, Du Yinan, Zhuang Feifei, and Luo Jingyan were also called over. Luo Changtian was still at school, and someone had already gone to look for him. In addition, Shen Ruyi, who had returned to the city, was still out of contact.
The police first took statements from Song Yinglan and Du Yinan, then from Zhuang Feifei. When it was Luo Jingyan's turn, a policeman suddenly arrived on a bicycle.
"The hospital, the patients in the hospital have all died."
"What?"
Professor Chen was shocked and very sorry.
Shockingly, Li Hongying died much earlier than that cadre. It's a pity that if Li Hongying hadn't died, he might have been able to cure her with the spring water here.
The police officer also brought another message; he handed a document to the head of the police brigade.
The above list, provided by Zhao Wensong, contains the names of all the people who have been in contact with Li Hongying these past few days.
One of the names shared with other people at the educated youth settlement was Lin Shanshan.
In other words, Lin Shanshan was involved in both Tong Jianxin's and Li Hongying's poisoning.
She is more suspicious than the others.
Luo Jingyan had just entered the educated youth settlement when the policeman who brought the news arrived. It was during the policeman's questioning that she learned about Li Hongying's poisoning and her death.
It was only then that she learned that Tong Jianxin had not been sick, but poisoned.
Who on earth is so cruel and has such vicious methods?
The police captain said, "We are now going to search all of your belongings. Please cooperate."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Shanshan's face immediately turned ashen.
The police will definitely find that little medicine bottle. What should I do? What should I do?
Because she was a key target of police observation, her changing expressions were clearly observed by the officers present.
Among these police officers were two female officers who were in charge of searching the dormitories of the female educated youth.
The police wanted to conduct a search, and the educated youth dared not object. If they dared to object, they would be the most likely person to have poisoned the victims.
The educated youth looked at each other, wondering who the poisoner was.
Although Lin Shanshan pretended to be just as curious as they were, her eyes were the most evasive.
The police kept the educated youth in the courtyard and forbade any of them to leave.
Two female police officers went to inspect the female educated youth dormitory, while two male police officers went to inspect the male educated youth dormitory.
After checking the dormitories, we still need to check the residences of Luo Jingyan, Zhuang Feifei, Zhao Wensong, Song Yinglan, and Du Yinan. These people are temporarily staying at the educated youth settlement and cannot go anywhere else.
Police also went to the village to look for villagers who had recently been in contact with Li Hongying.
When checking the belongings of a particular educated youth, that youth would stand by and watch, along with another educated youth and a police officer, to prevent the youth's belongings from being lost and to prevent the police officer checking the belongings from being implicated if the youth's belongings were mysteriously lost.
Each of the educated youth had a wooden box, which was locked. The police would ask the educated youth for the key and open the box to inspect it.
What was bound to happen couldn't be avoided. The female police officer found a small white porcelain bottle in Lin Shanshan's suitcase, which looked like a bottle for medicine or pills.
The policewoman asked Lin Shanshan, "What's inside here?"
Lin Shanshan was probably too nervous, but she calmed down and started thinking quickly about what to do.
"Well, that was an empty bottle. I kept it because I liked it."
