Chapter 93 If you need to call the police, do it quickly.
Yan Sui went to sleep after forwarding the Weibo post, only to find herself still trending on social media the next day.
Her unbridled mockery of Fu Qingci naturally drew insults from his fans.
But what does it matter? She wasn't targeting Fu Qingci before, and she was still being criticized.
Today is Mother's Day, and she bought three large gold bracelets online, which arrived today.
Three different styles, but the weight is about the same.
The old lady looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist and was so happy that her eyes almost disappeared from her teeth, but she said, "Why waste this money? I'm already so old, why would I wear a gold bracelet?"
Tian Xiangjuan and Sui Liyuan were also pleasantly surprised. Gold prices are not cheap now, and this bracelet weighing forty or fifty grams is quite expensive.
"Sui Sui, you should return this one and buy it for your grandma and aunt."
She also had a gold bracelet on her wrist, which Yan Shunxia bought for her when they got married.
Tian Xiangjuan nodded in agreement, "It's fine to buy it for your grandma, your aunt and I don't need it."
"I've already bought it, so I can't return it. It's so beautiful, I bought it based on your size."
Yan Sui was very satisfied with her judgment; gold was still the best because it held its value.
"Just wear it. Gold can appreciate in value, so consider it as saving money."
Tian Xiangjuan gave her a reproachful look, "You haven't even started making money yet, and you're already thinking about how to spend it. You can't be so extravagant."
Yan Sui smiled and took her arm. "I'll make money eventually. Once the peaches are ready to be picked next month, I'll have some income."
Tian Xiangjuan tapped her head, "Even if you make money, you have to plan how you spend it. We'll accept it this time."
Yan Sui readily agreed, saying that at worst she wouldn't buy the bracelet next year and would buy other jewelry instead.
"Auntie, let's go out for dinner tonight, so you can relax a bit."
Sui Liyuan quickly replied, "No need, no need. We'll just eat at home. It's just cooking a meal; it's not hard work at all."
Although she was the first to suggest returning the bracelet, it doesn't mean she didn't like it.
This is the most valuable piece of jewelry she has ever received, and she cherishes it very much.
"Wearing such an expensive bracelet, I don't even want to do any work."
Tian Xiangjuan touched the bracelet on her wrist and glared at the grinning Yan Shunzhong.
“My daughter is so thoughtful. We’ve been married for so many years and you’ve never given me anything like this.”
Yan Shunzhong touched his nose and cried out that he was wronged: "You have all the money in the house."
Yan Sui was about to smooth things over when she suddenly saw Old Lady Zhao arrive, her face filled with anxiety.
"Yan Sui! Yan Sui!"
"Grandma Zhao, what's wrong?"
Grandma Zhao hurriedly said, "More than twenty of Guo Qiang's ducks died last night!"
Yan Sui: "..."
This was much more than she had imagined.
"How did he die?" Yan Shunzhong asked hurriedly.
Grandma Zhao: "I don't know yet, but the way it died looks a bit like the chickens that died in our orchard before."
The initial guess is that wild animals from the mountains came to steal the ducks.
But as soon as she said that, Guo Qiang immediately retorted: "What kind of wild beast can eat more than twenty ducks in one night? It must have been Yan Sui who did it!"
Guo Qiang is currently threatening to call the police to arrest Yan Sui.
Yan Shunzhong retorted angrily, "Nonsense! What does this have to do with our family!"
Guo Qiang, who had just rushed over, overheard these words.
He strode in, carrying a duck whose internal organs had been removed.
"Who else could it be but her? In the entire Changqing Village, no one wants my ducks to die more than her!"
Zhao Chunrong, who had followed to watch the show, nodded repeatedly, "It must be Yan Sui. She was afraid the ducks would run out and ruin her lotus roots, so she deliberately killed them."
Upon hearing her words, Guo Qiang was instantly enraged.
"Yan Sui, if you don't give me an explanation today, this isn't over!"
Yan Sui was speechless. "What explanation do you expect? I stayed up all night to come to your place and rip the duck's heart out?"
Guo Qiang immediately took out his phone and shouted that he was going to call the police.
He only meant to scare Yan Sui and make her pay him back.
But before Yan Sui could speak, Granny Zhang and Zhao Chunrong started acting out a skit.
"Call the police! She must have done this. We have to call the police and arrest her!" Zhao Chunrong said excitedly, clenching her fists.
Old Mrs. Zhang said, "We're all from the same village, why would anyone call the police so easily? Let Yan Sui pay some compensation and that's it."
Yan Sui put one hand in her pocket and said, "What money do you want? I didn't do this."
"Okay, I'll call the police now and let them investigate!" Guo Qiang took out his phone again.
His threatening manner made Yan Sui impatient.
"If you're going to call the police, do it now. This has happened several times already."
Zhao Chunrong hurriedly chimed in, "You should call the police quickly! What are you waiting for? Let the police arrest her and detain her for a few days, then she'll behave herself."
The old woman glared at her coldly, "If the police really come, the first person they'll arrest is you, the one who talks too much and stirs up trouble!"
Guo Qiang was put on the hot seat and had no choice but to call the police.
Yu Gong'an is already very familiar with Changqing Village.
I never expected that Yan Sui would be the defendant this time.
Guo Qiang suspected that the more than twenty dead and missing ducks were related to Yan Sui.
"My ducks only arrived yesterday. She must have been afraid they would damage her lotus roots, so she attacked them!"
Police officer Yu frowned, not rushing to a conclusion.
"Take me there to have a look."
"What are you waiting for? Arrest this murderer first!" Zhao Chunrong urged.
Police officer Yu glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Don't interfere with our investigation."
Zhao Chunrong felt a chill and hid behind Granny Zhang.
Now that things are so clear, of course we have to arrest them first.
"Let's go check on the ducks first," Yu Gong'an said, looking at Guo Qiang.
Guo Qiang actually shared the same thought as Zhao Chunrong: what else is there to see?
At this point, Yan Sui should have been taken back to the police station for questioning.
Since the police officer had spoken, he had no choice but to reluctantly take him there on his leash.
Several police officers walked around and noticed that there were quite a few messy traces in the area.
Based on the manner in which the ducks died, it was ultimately determined that the act was committed by wild animals.
"They are most likely leopard cats, and there are quite a few of them."
Guo Qiang stared in disbelief, "What leopard cat?"
"It's a nationally protected animal; you can only drive it away, not harm it. Try to reinforce the fence and buy a deterrent device online."
This wasn't the first time the police had encountered leopard cats stealing and eating livestock.
But I've never seen anything as tragic as Guo Qiang's.
Guo Qiang raised his voice: "What about my ducks? There are more than twenty of them!"
The police officer looked impatient. "It was done by wild animals. What can we do? We just have to accept our bad luck!"
Tian Xiangjuan gave a cool smile and crossed her arms.
“My Sui Sui’s chickens in the orchard have also been stolen and eaten by leopard cats. She has never gone around smearing people like you have. You’re not going to say that my niece ordered those leopard cats to steal your ducks, are you?”
Yan Sui turned her face away, "It really is."
Guo Qiang gritted his teeth, feeling resentful for not receiving a single penny in compensation.
"Officers, take another look. How can it be a leopard cat? This must be man-made!"
Police officer Yu thought he was being unreasonable and didn't bother arguing with him.
"If you don't believe me, just install a surveillance camera here. Those leopard cats came once, and they'll definitely come back a second time."
Guo Qiang was reluctant to spend money on installing surveillance cameras.
He doesn't really want to raise ducks to make money, so why spend more money?
“Starting tonight, I’ll be keeping watch here. I’ll see who dares to lay a hand on my ducks!”
As Guo Qiang said this, he was still staring intently at Yan Sui, clearly still harboring suspicions about her.
Yan Sui smiled at him, her eyes filled with provocation.
"Then you just stay here and keep watch. If you catch the murderer, remember to tell the police and clear my name."
