Chapter 97: Rat poison?



When everyone went down the mountain, they found that there were many people gathered on the construction site outside, and they could even faintly hear people wailing.

Little Lingling was so frightened that she didn't care about the fish anymore and rushed into the crowd.

As soon as I entered, I saw grandpa and grandma comforting the villagers. Dad was not there, and my mother and aunt were supporting a few women who were holding their stomachs and crying in pain.

Master Jiang Xinian also frowned and looked displeased as he was taking the pulse of those people.

She ran over and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Jiang Xinian had a cold face and was in a terrible mood. "Look for yourself!"

Xiao Lingling didn't dare to say much. She pinched the wrist of an aunt and checked her pulse. Feeling the pulse, she couldn't believe it for a moment.

"Master, this is poisoning?"

Jiang Xinian shook his head and said coldly, "It's not really poison! It's rat poison!"

Xiao Lingling was stunned, and even Fang and Li beside her were dumbfounded.

How, how could there be rat poison?

After hearing Jiang Xinian's answer, the surrounding villagers began to become chaotic, and everyone was guessing the truth of the matter.

"Oh my God, how could there be rat poison? What's going on? What did they eat?"

Zhao and Lin Changshu comforted the villagers while recalling what had happened before.

It's almost noon now, and they have already stewed the food for everyone in the pot.

When it was almost ready, I asked these women who were willing to help wash vegetables and cook for free to taste it to see how salty it was.

etc!

Zhao suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Xinian, "Brother Jiang, they all tasted the food before and soon began to feel unwell. Could it be that..."

Jiang Xinian's face looked a little ugly, but he still came to the pot as soon as possible.

He scooped up a little vegetable juice with a spoon, sipped it lightly with his tongue and spit it out immediately.

"There's rat poison in it. Luckily, the amount isn't too much, and they didn't eat much either, so it's not serious. Just induce vomiting and it'll be fine."

Xiao Lingling's eyes instantly turned to the big pot where the food was stewed. She was absolutely convinced that someone wanted to harm them!

However, the villagers around did not have so many thoughts, and their eyes were full of fear and suspicion when they looked at Zhao.

Jiang Xinian ignored all this and first used injections to induce vomiting on several patients, then began to search around.

"What the hell is going on here? There's no need for the Lin family to drug everyone."

"Yeah, I don't believe it's the Lin family either. They haven't been here long and haven't made any enemies with us. Why bother?"

"But, that's not necessarily true. We can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. What if their family was really driven here because of this?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Everyone made random guesses, and the more they guessed, the more outrageous they became.

Xiao Lingling was very anxious, but she also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Only finding evidence would be useful.

She could only ask her brothers to follow their master's example and search around.

Fortunately, the village chief arrived quickly. He was originally invited by Lin Changshu to help look after the construction of the house.

I just went back to have lunch at noon, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

After briefly understanding what had happened, the village chief quickly spoke out to comfort everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone! This matter doesn't look simple to me, and it definitely isn't someone from the Lin family.

Think about it, they are still using us to build houses, there is no reason for them to do such a cruel thing to us.

Besides, they basically ate with everyone during this period, so they wouldn't poison themselves to death, would they? "

This is true. This is the only big thing happening in the village right now.

Although the Lin family only asked sixteen or seventeen villagers for help, many people came here every day, and some even offered to help for free.

Every day when they ate, they saw with their own eyes the Lin family eating with everyone else. It was impossible that they would really poison themselves to death!

Everyone was completely panicked for a moment. This unknown enemy is the most terrifying!

Xiao Lingling frowned tightly. Her family had only moved in for more than half a month and they didn't have many enemies, so she almost immediately became a suspect.

She glanced across the field, and sure enough, the woman did not appear.

Given her personality of loving to watch the fun, she couldn't possibly be away at this time. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!

But how can we find clues and catch her?

Xiao Lingling was very worried, but when she glanced at Xiaobai who was sniffing the ground in the corner, her eyes lit up.

She quickly came to Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Xiaobai murmured to her, then ran to the place where the Lin family recently stored firewood.

Recently, because we are having a big pot meal together, for convenience, the stove is set up directly outside.

Even the firewood that Chen Shuxu brought back was neatly placed aside for easy access.

Little Bell quickly followed and found a piece of yellow paper in the gap of the firewood pile.

There are many creases on the paper, and some fine white particles are faintly visible in it.

Xiao Lingling quickly picked it up and ran to Jiang Xinian, "Master, look at this!"

Jiang Xinian turned around immediately when he heard the voice, and his eyes lit up when he saw the yellow paper in her hand.

He took it immediately, put a little bit of white powder on his hand and smelled it.

"This is rat poison!"

Xiao Lingling smiled, finally there were some traces.

However, before she could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Ah, I recognize that packet of medicine!"

There was a moment of silence on the field, and suddenly she covered her mouth again, as if she had said something wrong.

Liu Mingyi immediately looked over and asked, "What's going on? Does anyone know this medicine?"

The villagers tacitly moved aside, revealing the woman who was speaking.

It was Luo Tao, the wife of Lu Yang, one of the workers hired by the Lin family this time.

Luo Tao looked embarrassed. She really knew him, but she really didn't dare to say it.

This person even drugged me. If I expose her, will I be the one who gets drugged?

She was so panicked that her palms were sweating, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

In the courtyard of Su He's house not far from them, Jiang Feng was leaning against the gate, listening to the noise outside.

At first, she was quite happy about the commotion outside, thinking that her plan might have succeeded.

But her happiness didn't last long, as things suddenly became quiet. She felt a little nervous, not knowing how things had developed.

But because she was far away, she couldn't hear clearly even if she tried her best. This unknown was the most terrifying!
