Chapter 296: Frightened
Qin Zhen could see that Jiang Wan and the women were all terrified. Logically, they should have kept the people in the county government office until the matter was thoroughly investigated.
But in the current environment, it is easy for unpleasant things to be said when you are questioned in the county government.
So Qin Zhen simply let the group go.
Anyway, we know they are from Lianjiagou, so we can go to the village to ask after we have checked the bodies.
After Jiang Wan and the villagers came out of the county government office, they rowed their boats back to the village without wasting a moment.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Jiang Wan's poisoning and murder, after all, Jiang Wan did it to save them.
But there were always one or two people who felt that Jiang Wan was too cruel despite her young age, and some of them dared not associate with her anymore.
Jiang Wan didn't know all this. At this moment, she just wanted to go home quickly and sleep in her mother's arms.
"Okay, okay, we're back in the village. Lord Qin just said that the case hasn't been solved yet, so don't say anything you shouldn't say. Everyone, keep this in mind and keep your mouth shut."
Xiu'e and the others said this, and everyone knew what it meant. They made the promise as they got off the boat.
Jiang Wan carried her small backpack and trotted home with her head down.
“Woof woof woof…”
“Woof woof…”
The two older puppies rushed over and wanted to play with their little master, but the little master was in a bad mood and ignored them.
Hearing the noise, the three people came out of the pharmacy.
"Wanwan, weren't you out weeding? Why are you back so early?"
As soon as Yin Huaixi asked this question, he saw his daughter rush into his arms like a little cannonball.
She's shaking!
Something happened!
Yin Huaixi gently placed her hand on her daughter's back and caressed her softly. Her voice also became softer.
"Did something happen on the island?"
Jiang Wan nodded, wanting to say something but unable to open her mouth.
She really did kill someone, and she only realized it clearly now.
When she was on the island, she only wanted to save herself and did not hesitate. But when she calmed down, she thought of the five men on the beach who were dead and could not die any more, and she felt a chill down her spine.
She and her mother were taught in modern times that killing is not allowed. Now that she has killed five people, will her mother think she is too cruel?
Just now, there were two ladies on the boat looking at her with fear in their eyes. Will her mother be afraid of her too when she finds out?
Jiang Wan was frightened and got stuck in a dead end. She was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat and developed a fever not long after returning home.
Yin Huaixi no longer cared about the pharmacy and simply asked Baozhu to close the door.
"Mother..."
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan. Mother is here."
Yin Huaixi felt very distressed when she saw her daughter in pain. However, the medicine had just started to boil, and rubbing her body to cool her down would not work that fast.
"Baozhu, go to the village and ask Xiu'e and Chunxi what happened on Coconut Island."
Baozhu responded and ran away.
She is familiar with the village and is the most suitable person to handle this matter.
Anan was the one who boiled the medicine and quickly brought it over. This was specially prepared by Yin Huaixi for her daughter.
A soup that can calm the nerves and reduce fever.
When she examined her daughter's pulse, she found that she was frightened and felt that this was not a simple matter.
You have to know that they are from the 21st century and have lived for decades and have seen all kinds of storms. My daughter also has an adult mindset, so how could she be easily frightened?
Something terrible must have happened...
"Mother...I, I killed someone!"
Yin Huaixi:!!!!!!
Those words made her eyes widen.
Did she hear it right? Her daughter said she had killed someone?!
"Mother, don't be afraid of me..."
The person on the bed had a flushed face, her brows were furrowed, and a few tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.
Yin Huaixi wiped her daughter's face again with a feeling of heartache, and vaguely knew in her heart that what her daughter said must be true.
The thing that can scare a modern person is probably murder.
Something terrible must have happened on Coconut Island.
Yin Huaixi was filled with fear. Because they were going to clean weeds on Coconut Island today, her daughter was wearing an insect repellent sachet. She also filled the remaining purse with seasonings, saying that she would make delicious food on the island for the villagers to taste.
Therefore, he left the drugs and other items that he had prepared for her at home.
How did Wanwan kill someone without taking all these things with her?
Yin Huaixi's thoughts were confused for only a short while, but she soon calmed down.
No matter who my daughter killed, the most important thing now is to cool her down quickly. Let's hear what Baozhu has to say and see how to help her untie the knot in her heart.
Yin Huaixi called Anan to help the person up, and she fed the medicine into her daughter's mouth little by little.
A quarter of an hour later, Baozhu came back in a hurry with a strange look on her face.
"Master, I just went to the village to ask around. Everyone said that they met bad guys on Coconut Island, and then the bad guys ate poisonous food and died of poisoning. They are now in the county government."
When the aunties from each family talked about this, their faces looked very strange. Baozhu didn't quite understand it, so she could only tell her master and let him figure it out himself.
Yin Huaixi's hand, which was wiping her daughter's mouth, froze in shock.
Everyone says that it was a bad guy who ate poisoned food and died?
