Chapter 64: Testing Drugs and Finding Someone
Several people looked at He Yue's serious expression in silence. He Yue walked up to Guo Yulan and said, "Can you lend me your silver hairpin?"
As He Yue spoke, she pulled out the silver hairpin from Guo Yulan's head and stirred it in the water. Then she picked up the hairpin and found that all the parts of the hairpin that had come into contact with water had turned black.
The whole family was shocked. He Yue said, "There is processed Gelsemium elegans poison in this water."
He Youren was puzzled. "Poison? How could there be poison in the water tank? We used the water to cook and wash our faces this morning, and we didn't get poisoned!"
Da Zhuang said, "Someone must have waited until we were all out before poisoning us. Who is so cruel that they want us all to die?"
Xiao Zhuang said angrily, "Damn bad guy, sister, can you tell me who it is?"
Guo Yulan said, "Yue'er, since someone poisoned you, do you want me to ask Lu He to go back to the city to find my father and help you put the bad guy in jail?"
Xiao Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, report it to the police and have them arrest him and take him to jail."
He Yue shook her head. "Without any evidence, who can we arrest? Even if we guess who it is, we have no evidence. Besides, no one has been poisoned, so who would admit it?"
Everyone felt that what He Yue said made sense. Da Zhuang asked, "Then let's forget about this?"
After a careful inspection at the back door, He Yue only found some fallen medicine juice and unclear footprints on the ground at the back door.
He Yue saw that the footprints should be a woman's. She had a guess in her mind about who it was, but she didn't say it out loud. She turned around and said, "Since someone wanted to harm us, and she didn't succeed this time, seeing that we are fine, what do you think she will think? But we can't always be on guard. So, Xiao Zhuang, you will go to the village chief's house crying and say that your big brother drank water from the water tank and his stomach hurts and he is talking nonsense. Your sister knocked your big brother unconscious and we will investigate the cause. When everyone comes to watch the fun, I will naturally find a way to find out who poisoned him."
Xiao Zhuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiao Zhuang did as He Yue said and ran to the village chief crying. Curious people followed him to see what was going on.
At home, He Yue asked Da Zhuang to lie on the bed, and found some grass that could change color and soda to put on makeup for Da Zhuang.
He Yue also told her parents, "Mom and Dad, Xiaolan and Luhe, when all the villagers arrive, you should be more sad and don't let the person who poisoned you see anything."
They all nodded, "Don't worry! We all want to catch the person who poisoned you."
After He Yue finished putting makeup on Da Zhuang, she went to prepare some medicine powder and waited for everyone to arrive.
After a while, Xiao Zhuang came crying and asked the village chief to come, followed by the villagers.
The village chief hurried into the house and was frightened when he saw Dazhuang lying on the bed.
The village chief asked, "Youren, what happened to Dazhuang?"
He Youren cried and said, "Village chief, Dazhuang drank the water from the water tank and became like this. Xiaoyue said he was poisoned."
The village chief was surprised. "Poison? How could there be poison in your water tank? Doesn't Xiaoyue know medicine? Why didn't you save him?"
He Yue wiped her tears and said, "I know how to treat a disease, but my master hasn't taught me how to detoxify yet!"
He Yue looked into the crowd and asked, "Where's Grandpa Fu? Why isn't he here? Let Grandpa Fu help check it out."
The village chief sighed, "Old He went to Xihe Village and hasn't come back yet. So, send Dazhuang to the city quickly."
He Yue shook her head. "It's too late. My brother, he..."
He Yue burst into tears before she could finish her words. Daniu approached her and asked, "Village Chief, how could the water tank in this house be poisoned? Someone must have poisoned it. Please find the person who did it. Don't let them harm the whole village while we're still unaware of it."
Many people felt that what Daniu said was right and said that the person who poisoned the food should be found out as soon as possible.
Li Guihua, He Youren and Xiaozhuang sat beside Dazhuang and cried out of breath.
There are people who gloat over others' misfortune and watch the fun with a smile on their faces, while there are also people who sincerely comfort them. Why are Youren and the others sad?
The village chief turned around and looked at the crowd. "Tell me what you were doing this morning. Do you have any witnesses? Donghe Village has always been the most harmonious village in Huaiyuan County. Now someone has poisoned you. You'd better come out and admit your mistake. If you get caught, don't blame me for being rude."
Everyone looked around. Lin Cuicui nervously pinched her dress tightly, and she didn't let go even though it was wrinkled.
He Yue said, "Village chief, for the safety of the whole village, I have a way to catch the person who poisoned the village."
The village chief said, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly. I'll help you with whatever you need."
He Yue first thanked the village chief, then took out a packet of medicine from his arms and said, "Although I don't know what the poison is, as long as the person who poisoned it touches it, there will be marks on their hands. No matter how you wash, just sprinkle a little of the powder in my hand, and the hands of anyone who touches the poison will turn black."
The village chief said, "In order to clear our name and find the murderer, please come and get examined."
Li Xiaohong pulled her child and husband forward and said, "Okay, let's go first. What do we need to do?"
He Yue said, "Thank you, please stretch out your hands!"
He Yue sprinkled the powder on the hands of Li Xiaohong's family of three. Under everyone's curiosity, He Yue said, "Thank you, Aunt Xiaohong, Uncle, it's not you."
With the village chief present, everyone was afraid that if they didn't try it, they would be suspected by other villagers. So they all tried it for the sake of their own innocence and to see if they could find the person who poisoned them.
When Lin Cuicui heard that Dazhuang was poisoned, she felt both happy and disappointed. She wanted to see what happened and was at the back of the crowd.
After everyone tried it and found no problems, only Lin Cuicui was left. He Yue looked at her and said, "Aunt San, you are the last one. Please try it."
Lin Cuicui put her hands behind her back and glared at He Yue. "What are you trying? Who knows if what you said is true or not? Is there any problem with your medicine? I didn't go out this morning, and I didn't even come to your house."
Some people say, "We've tried it, everyone in your family has tried it, and there's no problem. What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be a good idea to prove your innocence by trying?"
Lin Cuicui slowly backed away. "I won't try. It's not me. Why should I try? You are the only ones who listen to this girl's nonsense."
The village chief shouted, "We have food. Let's pull your wife in and try. It's good for finding clues."
Lin Cuicui was unwilling and refused to go forward even when He Youliang pulled her. Wang Xiaoju suspected that it was Lin Cuicui who poisoned her, and she held He Youcai's hand tightly.
He Youcai asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Xiaoju held He Youcai tightly with one hand and supported her almost seven-month-old belly with the other hand and whispered to He Youcai, "I suspect Lin Cuicui poisoned her."
He Youcai's eyes widened. "No way! Does she have the guts to kill someone?"
Wang Xiaoju was worried that there might be such a vicious person. If he came to harm her and the baby in her belly, it would be the end of her.
Although there was no evidence, he still whispered to He Youcai, "Have you forgotten the dish from yesterday?"
He Youcai immediately suspected that it was Lin Cuicui. Just as he was about to go and tell the village chief, Wang Xiaoju stopped him and shook her head to stop him from going.
