Chapter 98 Poisoning



Yan Yue found out that Lu Lingxi had forcibly activated the plant evolution, and the next day he forced him to go to the hospital for a physical examination. This was the second time Yan Yue asked Lu Lingxi to do a full body examination. The last time Yan Yue knew about the existence of the white panel, he took Lu Lingxi to check it out.

After half a day of examination, although some results may take a few days to be seen, based on the current situation, Lu Lingxi is in very good health and there is nothing wrong with him.

"Look, I told you it's okay." Lu Lingxi protested in a low voice. Perhaps because of his experience in his previous life, he subconsciously rejected physical examinations. But his resistance was useless in front of Yan Yue. Yan Yue rubbed his hair, and said in a low and doting voice, "Be obedient and see what the doctor says."

Lu Lingxi reluctantly agreed. Yan Yue looked at him and felt soft in his heart. "Next time, no matter what the reason, you are not allowed to force plants to evolve."

"Oh." Lu Lingxi nodded obediently. This time he activated the plant evolution completely by accident, and he himself didn't know that the panel would be affected by his emotions. Next time, if it wasn't urgent, he would definitely not force the evolution without Yan Yue's order. He was also very distressed that he owed the panel five points of natural force at a time.

The two of them were standing in the hospital corridor talking, Su Lang pushed open the door of an office on the side and came out, turning his head and seeing Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi. Su Lang was a little surprised and subconsciously greeted them.

Yan Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to meet Su Lang by chance. He habitually put one hand on Lu Lingxi's shoulder, which was a very possessive gesture, and smiled at Su Lang.

"Why are you in the hospital? Is Xiaoxi not feeling well?" Su Lang saw the examination form in Lu Lingxi's hand.

Lu Lingxi shook his head, "It's just a physical examination."

Su Lang suddenly realized, "Is it about the injury last time?"

Lu Lingxi did not deny it, which was considered as his tacit agreement with what he said.

"You should have come another day. The hospital is crowded today. It takes half a day to queue up to pay."

"Is there something wrong?" Su Lang asked exactly what Yan Yue was wondering. There were unexpectedly many people in the hospital today, and it felt like a vegetable market.

Su Lang sighed and nodded. "Massive cyanide poisoning. Patients have been sent here since midnight yesterday. I heard they are all from the same village." Su Lang has a classmate who works in this hospital. He came here today for some personal matters, which happened to be the busiest time for his classmate. According to Su Lang's analysis, the only reason for such a large-scale cyanide poisoning is that the drinking water in the village is contaminated, and it is very likely that someone deliberately poisoned it. The hospital obviously thought the same as he did. After receiving a certain number of patients, it decisively chose to call the police. Now the police have intervened in this matter.

Hearing Su Lang mention cyanide, Yan Yue frowned slightly, "Do you know which village it is?"

"It seems to be Songjiazhuang in the north."

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other and roughly understood what was going on.

The two knew it, but the police didn't. Fang Lei rushed to the hospital immediately after receiving the alarm from the hospital. They then investigated the hospitalized patients and their relatives, but found nothing unusual. After knowing that these people were residents of Songjiazhuang, Fang Lei led his men to Songjiazhuang without stopping.

According to Fang Lei's judgment, this was obviously a deliberate poisoning case. However, he asked around and found that although the people who were poisoned were all from the same village, they were all kinds of people. It didn't seem like a targeted poisoning, but more like an indiscriminate poisoning. Fang Lei couldn't figure it out. How big of a grudge did this have with Songjia Village?

With this question in mind, Fang Lei rushed to Songjiazhuang. In the past few days, the power supply in Songjiazhuang has been unstable, and power outages have occurred frequently. A power outage means a water outage. Sometimes when the villagers need water urgently, they will go to an old well behind the village to fetch water. Fang Lei looked around the old well for a long time and asked someone to fetch some water and bring it back for testing. If there is no accident, this well should be the one that was poisoned. This was also proved by the poisoned patients in the hospital. All those whose families were poisoned were people who had come here to fetch water.

Some villagers looked at the old well and felt lucky, "Fortunately, the two large water tanks at home were full, so we didn't have to come here to fetch water."

Fang Lei wondered if it was someone from the village who did it? They took advantage of the power outage in the village and knew that the villagers were going to use the well, so they deliberately poisoned it. But before he could say anything, a young man shouted, "It must have been someone from Lingshui Village. Lingshui Village is the only village around here that has a grudge against us."

"Lingshui Village? What's going on?" Fang Lei asked.

The young man who was talking saw Fang Lei asking, and he exaggerated the last conflict between the plastic factory and Lingshui Village, and also mentioned the strange incident of dogs surrounding the plastic factory. The young people in the village did not believe the rumors about the dog king, and they were determined that there was someone behind all this, and it must be someone from Lingshui Village.

He described it vividly, from hearing the wolf howling and discovering that the dogs in the village were making trouble to the dogs surrounding the plastic factory and they went out to rescue people. The plot was so full of twists and turns and ups and downs that even the policemen around were fascinated.

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true." The young man patted his chest and assured, "Everyone in our village knows about it, and people in the nearby villages basically know about it too. You can just go out and ask around, and I will definitely not lie to you."

Several villagers nearby heard it, nodded, and assured that what they said was true.

One of the policemen wanted to continue asking, but Fang Lei interrupted him, "What does truth or falsehood have to do with this case? We are here to solve the case, not to listen to stories." However, the conflict with Lingshui Village that the young man mentioned is a clue, and they can go to Lingshui Village to take a look.

Leaving two people to continue checking in the village, Fang Lei asked for the way to Lingshui Village and drove to Lingshui Village alone. From a distance, he saw a little boy of about four or five years old hiding outside a small courtyard at the entrance of the village, not knowing what he was doing. A big yellow dog followed the little boy.

After a while, the door of the courtyard opened and a man in his thirties walked out. The little boy's eyes lit up and he patted the big dog beside him. The big dog rushed out and blocked the man who had just come out. The man saw the big dog panicking and instinctively wanted to run back, but soon there were a few more dogs at the gate of the courtyard, blocking his way back.

Because of Dahei, Fang Lei was very interested in dogs, and subconsciously watched them carefully. The dogs blocking the man seemed to recognize him and hesitated to retreat. But the big yellow dog at the beginning crouched down and growled threateningly. The dogs behind were very afraid of the big yellow dog, and dared not move after being roared by it, firmly blocking the man's retreat.

The man in the dog pack was about to cry. Another old dog came out of the yard. This old dog didn't seem to be afraid of the big yellow dog outside. It barked loudly at the big yellow dog outside. The two dogs confronted each other from a distance. The big yellow dog shifted its gaze from the old dog to the man, bared its teeth, turned around and walked away slowly.

The initial interest on Fang Lei's face had disappeared, and turned into weirdness. He had the illusion that the two dogs seemed to be negotiating. This feeling was too obvious, but how could it be possible? The big yellow dog looked ferocious, why would it be afraid of an old dog? Why did it retreat? Fang Lei shook his head, thinking that he must have been influenced by Dahei. Seeing such a spiritual dog like Dahei, it seemed that the dogs around him became spiritual. When Fang Lei drove past the entrance of the village, the man who was blocked by the dog had already run away, but the little boy and the big yellow dog were still there. The big yellow dog barked at the little boy, and the little boy nodded seriously, as if he could understand what the big yellow dog was barking.

This idea was too absurd, so Fang Lei gathered his thoughts and focused on the case again.

At the back of the car, Dong Xiaolei touched Ah Huang's head and said seriously, "I know. It was Dahei who told you not to scare Xu San, right? Next time when Brother Xiaoxi comes, I will talk to him about it. Xu San is a bad guy. If we scare him, we are not doing a bad thing, but a good thing, right, Ah Huang?"

The big yellow dog barked, as if agreeing with Dong Xiaolei's words.

Dong Xiaolei hugged Ah Huang and smiled with his teeth bared.

In the courtyard separated by a wall, the old dog squatted on the ground and barked at Grandpa Li. Grandpa Li sighed. Xu San used to bully Yu Xiaojuan, an orphan and a widow, and he always went to Yu Xiaojuan's house to make trouble. I didn't expect that Xiao Shitou, a child so young, would remember it and take revenge when he got the chance. This is the nth time that Xu San is afraid of dogs, so he asked Ah Huang to scare Xu San. Next time, I have to talk to Xiao Xi and can't let Xiao Shitou do this. It's a good thing to be able to communicate with dogs, but it must be used in the right way. Xiao Shitou can't go astray.

Fang Lei didn't know what happened later. He drove directly to find Li Dayong, the village chief of Lingshui Village, and asked him what happened to the previous conflict with Songjiazhuang.

"What's wrong? This happened several months ago?" Li Dayong was suspicious and asked Fang Lei anxiously.

Fang Lei did not hide it from him and directly told him that most people in Songjiazhuang were poisoned. Although Li Dayong was honest, he was not stupid. He immediately understood that they were suspected of doing it, and he cried out for injustice, "We had some conflicts with Songjiazhuang, but we have resolved this matter long ago. Besides, they were in the wrong at that time, and they were too bullying. It was because they built a plastic factory and discharged waste indiscriminately, and the river water behind the village was polluted and stinky. I only went to find them a few times, but they didn't agree to close the factory. How can this poisoning incident be blamed on our village? Besides, there are not many young people in our village, most of them are old men and women, and these people don't look like people who can poison people, right?"

Li Dayong was afraid that Fang Lei would not believe it, and the village had just counted the insurance premiums, so he quickly took out the payment list and showed it to Fang Lei. From the photos posted, most of the people in the village are really old, and there are not many young people. Fang Lei took a look and chatted with Li Dayong for a while. There was no clue and he was ready to leave. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the little boy again. This time the little boy stepped on the dog and tried to climb the tree. He hung on a branch and couldn't get up, so his face turned red. Fang Lei laughed and thought that this little brat was really naughty. On a whim, he stopped the car and walked towards the little boy.

"roar."

The big yellow dog under the little boy's feet immediately turned its head and growled at him.

Fang Lei was not afraid of dogs, but seeing that the dog looked like it would pounce on him if he dared to get any closer, he stopped.

Dong Xiaolei heard the noise behind him and jumped down, grabbing the branch. He looked at Fang Lei and then at the police car behind him, and asked curiously, "Are you a police officer?"

Fang Lei nodded.

Dong Xiaolei's eyes lit up, "Are you here to catch the bad guys? I know where the bad guys are."

Fang Lei felt amused and asked cooperatively, "Where are the bad guys?"

"There." Dong Xiaolei pointed to the yard at the entrance of the village. "The bad guys are there. No, that's not right..." He immediately changed his words. "The bad guys just got off work. Now there are only good people in there. Uncle policeman, are you going to catch the bad guys? I know where they live."

Fang Lei understood immediately. He thought the bad guy in the boy's eyes was the man who was just scared by him with his dog. He suppressed his laughter and said, "I came here to catch other bad guys. I'll catch this bad guy next time."

"Oh." Dong Xiaolei pouted a little dissatisfied, but was soon attracted by the other bad guys Fang Lei mentioned, "What bad guys?"

Fang Lei didn't take it seriously and said casually: "Someone in the village ahead drank water and got poisoned. I'm here to catch the bad guy who poisoned him."

"Poisoned? Is your stomach hurting from drinking water?"

This statement is quite vivid. People sent to the hospital are basically not in danger of life, they just have stomachaches and feel uncomfortable. Fang Lei nodded thinking about this.

When Dong Xiaolei saw him nod, he immediately shouted, "I know how they were poisoned."

His voice was like a bolt from the blue. Although Fang Lei didn't think that a little kid knew anything, he still couldn't help but ask, "How did you get poisoned?"

Dong Xiaolei shouted, "They must have drunk the water from the river. Ah Huang said the water from the river is poisonous and will give you a stomachache if you drink it."

Ah Huang... Fang Lei's sight fell on the big yellow dog beside him. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless for a long time.
