Hearing what the town magistrate said, An Wanwan looked at him and said, "Magistrate, may I ask how many people have been poisoned? How are they doing now? Can they come here to confront us?"
The town magistrate looked toward the head constable.
The head constable opened his mouth and said, "There are three people who have been poisoned, all of them men. They had diarrhea and vomiting, and stomach pains. They seemed to be in serious condition, but I don't know how they are now, because we didn't go to Xiaolin's clinic after that."
After a moment's thought, the town magistrate spoke.
"Take some men to Xiaolin Clinic to take a look. If their condition is better, bring them and the clinic's doctors here. If they are still a bit upset, find other doctors to examine them. Bring them to the yamen once their condition has stabilized."
"Yes, sir!"
The head constable received his orders, gathered several constables, and boarded the yamen's official carriage, heading straight for Xiaolin's clinic.
Half an hour passed.
The head constable and his men brought the three poisoned men back, along with Dr. Lin from Xiaolin Clinic and their families.
A middle-aged woman started cursing as soon as she saw An Wanwan and the others.
"You heartless bastards! It's only because my son and the others survived that they're still alive. If they had, I would never forgive you!"
The town magistrate frowned and slammed the gavel down.
The middle-aged woman fell silent instantly.
At this moment.
A pretty young woman knelt down: "Your Honor, please, you must do justice for my husband, my elder brothers, and my second elder brother..."
So they're family.
An Miaomiao was about to speak.
An Wanwan knelt down and said, "Sir, they said they were poisoned after eating our food. Is the stuff they vomited still there?"
"Of course it is! This is all evidence!"
The middle-aged woman who had previously cursed An Wanwan and the others shouted.
The town magistrate glanced at her and said to An Wanwan, "I've already had the coroner bring him back..."
"Then let us see..."
"If you want to convict us, you should at least make us accept it willingly, right?"
An Miaomiao spoke up at the right moment.
The town magistrate immediately sent someone to summon the coroner and present the evidence that had been collected earlier.
Less than fifteen minutes.
The coroner arrived, and when he showed them what the three men had vomited, they all instinctively took a few steps back, except for An Wanwan and the others who went over to take a look.
"What else do you have to say now!"
The young woman glared at An Wanwan and the others.
Upon hearing this...
An Wanwan looked at her and asked, "It's obvious from the surface that there's something wrong with these foods. How could your man and his wife eat them? Are they blind, or do they have a problem with their sense of taste?"
The youngest of the poisoned men said, "We were all hungry at the time, and we ate so fast that we didn't notice anything."
What did you all order?
An Wanwan continued to ask.
The youngest of the poisoned men thought for a moment and said, "Cold pot skewers, cold noodles, fruit tea, milk tea, and oh yeah, braised dishes and mixed vegetables..."
"How much did you spend in total?"
An Wanwan kept asking questions.
The young woman who had spoken earlier didn't understand what she meant and shouted, "Why are you asking one question after another? The problem is with you, not with my husband and his family!"
An Wanwan raised an eyebrow: "It concerns the reputation of our shop, so of course I have to find out the truth. What, are you afraid I'll find out something?"
You bitch!
The young woman cursed An Wanwan in her heart, but dared not say anything aloud.
An Wanwan looked away and asked the same question again.
Although An Miaomiao and the others didn't know why she was asking these questions, they didn't say anything.
The youngest of the poisoned men met An Wanwan's gaze and said, "It cost us a little over two hundred coins. We ate some food at your shop and bought some to take with us when we left. But what we didn't expect was that we got into trouble not far from your shop. If we had known your shop was so unscrupulous, we would never have eaten there!"
