There are designated spots for placing rat poison in the family compound, but they are placed in rat-luring holes. The rat-luring holes are not that big, and a full-grown duck certainly cannot get in.
An Hua was puzzled as to why Gaga would eat rat poison.
An Hua asked the little boy who brought the dead duck, "Where did you find it?"
The little boy pointed at Fang Qi and said, "It's right next to the rat hole around the corner." He often played with Yuanyuan and knew Gaga. He knew that Gaga was Yuanyuan's, so he immediately sent Gaga over after discovering the situation.
The rat hole the little boy was talking about is a rat-luring hole, which is man-made and specifically used for placing rat poison.
An Hua thought about it and went over to take a look at the scene.
The entrance of the mouse-luring hole is not big and can only accommodate an adult mouse.
If a duck specifically stretches its mouth in to eat, it can indeed eat shit, but can a duck's sense of smell be so sensitive? Do you know there is food in the mouse hole? The most important thing is that the rat poison is a chronic poison. Even if the ducks eat it, it is impossible for them to die after taking a few steps.
If the duck had died at home or somewhere else, An Hua would not have suspected anything, because it is not impossible that it might have accidentally ingested rat poison.
But the duck died next to the mouse-luring hole, as if it had been thrown there intentionally.
At An Hua's home, Qiu Shushen was worried, "What should I do if Yuan Yuan comes? The duck is dead, and she will be heartbroken."
Dongdong took the twins to his aunt's house to play, and they were almost home.
An Hua was also worried that it would be difficult for her to pass the test of the little girl.
Wang Caiyan said, "How about we get rid of Gaga first and then find a duck as a replacement? So-and-so's family also has two ducks, both Mallards, and they look similar in appearance."
An Hua shook her head. "They look similar to others, but my family can recognize them at a glance... Anyway, I can recognize them, so Yuanyuan must be able to recognize them even better."
The three adults were speechless.
Finally, An Hua said, "Forget it. We can't hide it anymore. We might as well just tell her directly."
Qiu Shushen sighed, "It has to be this way."
When they heard the children talking outside, An Hua and Qiu Shushen became nervous.
"The buns made by my aunt are better than those made by my mother. I will ask my aunt to make them for me when I go to the countryside."
This was Yuanyuan's voice, and she sucked her saliva as she spoke.
Dong Dong asked with a smile: "Auntie asked you to bring the buns from the Fu family. Did you eat them all on the way?"
Yuanyuan: "No, I didn't! I just ate two secretly."
Tuantuan said, "You should eat less. Your small stomach can't hold so much food. You won't be able to digest it."
Yuanyuan touched her bulging belly.
Well, it’s really filling!
Several children rushed into the house.
An Hua took a deep breath, pointed at the dead duck, and told the story of what had happened with a heavy heart. Then she covered her ears, ready to face Yuan Yuan's violent crying.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yuanyuan just squatted down and stared at the duck in a daze.
Not a word.
I didn't cry either.
"Yuanyuan, baby..." An Hua also squatted down and touched the little tuft of hair on her head.
The round little girl's body suddenly began to tremble. She threw herself into her mother's arms, opened her mouth wide, and tears fell from her eyes, but still no sound came out.
This was much sadder and more heartbreaking than her usual crying and screaming.
An Hua hugged her lovingly.
At this time, Tuantuan also started sobbing, and tears couldn't stop falling.
Dong Dong quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Tuantuan doesn’t usually play with the duck, so he probably doesn’t have as deep of a bond with it as Yuanyuan.
Tuantuan looked extremely sad, but his eyes were blank. "I don't know. When Yuanyuan cries, I want to cry too..."
Yau Shu-shen: "People say twins have telepathy. Tuantuan must be feeling Yuanyuan's sadness."
Dongdong hugged Tuantuan and comforted him silently.
After an unknown amount of time, Yuanyuan finally raised her head and said in a thick nasal voice, "Mom, I want to bury Gaga so that he can have a good sleep."
An Hua paused and said, "Can we wait until tomorrow to bury it? Mom wants to investigate something."
Dongdong reacted immediately, "Mom, was Gaga poisoned to death?"
An Hua said: "I am just speculating, I can't be sure at all."
Dong Dong: "If Gaga was poisoned to death by someone, then that person must have targeted Yuanyuan and had a fight with Yuanyuan."
Tuan Tuan said, "Could it be Yang Xiaoguang? Yuan Yuan always makes him act like a Japanese devil in every battle, and he has long been dissatisfied."
Yuanyuan said angrily, "Maybe it's Ma Shanshan. Last time I had an argument with her, she said she wanted to use my Ga Ga to make soup."
An Hua asked: "Who else, Yuanyuan, who else have you fought with?"
Yuanyuan thought for a while, "There's also Huzi! But I haven't paid attention to him for a long time, and there are no other children to play with him."
Hu Zi was isolated by his peers since his mother first went to the teacher's house and said that the teacher's daughter caused him to be bitten by a dog.
Hu Zi's mother used her strength to make everyone see the consequences of getting too close to Hu Zi, so everyone taught their children not to play with Hu Zi, because no matter what happened to Hu Zi, his mother would put the blame on others.
Even though Hu Zi's mother has moved to the countryside, no one wants to get too close to Hu Zi anymore.
An Hua wrote down all the children who had conflicts with Yuan Yuan, all of whom might be suspects.
The next step is investigation.
When An Huan was wondering how to investigate, she received news that Hu Zi had been poisoned and was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and convulsions all over his body. He was sent to the infirmary by his neighbors.
