A look of shock flashed across Lin Yiwan's face. She could see that the woman's momentary alertness was very scary.

She is completely different from who she is now!

Could it be that this murder case is really related to her?

But her illness is not fake!

what happened?

To avoid any misdiagnosis, Lin Yiwan asked, "I wonder which doctor usually sees you? Can you tell me?"

The woman said with some embarrassment: "Madam, you don't know, I have been suffering from this disease for a long time. At that time, my parents were still alive. They did everything they could to find an old doctor for me and asked for this prescription, which I have been using ever since!"

Lin Yiwan immediately realized that the old doctor was probably no longer alive.

She continued to ask, "You look young, so why did you lose both your parents? Can you tell me the reason?"

The woman couldn't help showing a painful expression. She whispered, "They were killed by robbers many years ago!"

Lin Yiwan's face showed sympathy. It was obvious that the woman must have suffered great injustice at home.

Before she could say anything, the anxious voice of the old woman suddenly rang out from outside: "Hey, Hu Niu, what did you just swallow? You're choking like this! Spit it out! Quick!"

The woman's face suddenly changed, and she shouted anxiously: "Hu Niu, Hu Niu, Granny Hu, please quickly bring her in!"

When Granny Hu carried Hu Niu into the house, she saw that the little girl, who had been alive just a moment ago, now had a purple face, her eyes rolled back, and was twitching.

Lin Yiwan asked Granny Hu sharply, "Tell me clearly, what did she just swallow?"

Granny Hu turned pale with fear. She said anxiously, "I don't know. It looked like a green fruit. I didn't see it clearly, and she stuffed it into her mouth!"

The woman was almost going crazy. She cried out in a hoarse voice: "Hu Niu, please spit it out quickly, please spit it out quickly!"

Lin Yiwan immediately spoke up, "She can't vomit anymore. If we delay any longer, she'll suffocate to death. Get out of the way and let me do it!"

She placed Hu Niu on her knees and raised her hand to pat her back hard.

At first it had no effect at all, until Lin Yiwan slapped it hard again, and then the little guy made a clicking sound in his throat, and then a green fruit fell to the ground.

Hu Niu took a quick breath and burst into tears.

The woman quickly took her away from Lin Yiwan, hugged her and comforted her gently.

Granny Hu was so frightened that she wiped the sweat from her forehead. She said with a look of fear on her face, "I don't know where this rotten wild fruit came from. It almost killed Hu Niu. We have to take it out and throw it away!"

She reached out to pick it up and walked quickly outside.

Lin Yiwan immediately followed her, and after they left the house, she stopped her and asked, "Grandma Hu, where was Hu Niu playing just now?"

Granny Hu frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed to the corner of the yard and said, "There are quite a few bottles and jars over there, and she's been squatting there grabbing them. I don't know where she got these fruits from!"

Lin Yiwan walked over and searched carefully among the bottles and jars.

Lin Ran walked up behind her and asked, "Wanwan, what are you looking for?"

Lin Yiwan didn't answer. She looked at a few more jars before she spoke: "I found it. I know who the murderer is!"

Seeing the green fruit in her hand, Lin Ran was full of confusion.

He frowned and said, "Wanwan, it's just a few fruits, how do you know who the murderer is?"

Lin Yiwan glanced inside the house before explaining in a low voice, "Uncle, this isn't an ordinary fruit. It's called a Ma fruit. It's a poisonous substance that, when eaten, makes a person's body extremely active and full of strength!"

Lin Ran immediately understood that if such a poison existed, then the identity of the murderer would be obvious.

He strode into the house with Lin Yiwan and saw the woman with a pale face mumbling, "You already know, right?"

Lin Yiwan placed the hemp fruit in the pot in front of her and said, "Are you going to kill those five people after eating this?"

She nodded. "Well, they're so strong, they definitely won't let me kill them, so I had Hu Niu drug them in their food ahead of time. That way they're in a deep sleep, but when I stab them, most of them will wake up. However, by then, they'll be in so much pain they can't resist!"

Lin Yiwan's expression was a little complicated. The woman in front of her was obviously a murderer, but she didn't know why. Looking at her pale and sick face, she couldn't get angry.

The woman gave a bitter smile. "Master Xiaolin, I didn't feel any regret after killing them. Guess who brought me those mochi?"

Lin Ran frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

The woman slowly replied, "It was my husband, the bastard who tortured me for the first half of my life. Actually, this shop belonged to my parents. He came to our house as an apprentice. Over time, he used his sweet talk to trick me into marrying him. I insisted on marrying him, but on our wedding night, to make room for his parents, he drowned them in a toilet!"

Lin Yiwan's heart tightened as she heard this. She gripped the woman's wrist tightly and said, "How could he have given you this hemp fruit? Doesn't he know how it works?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, I just told him that this thing could alleviate my symptoms. He didn't even have to spend any money, but he eagerly went into the mountains to look for it. You could say he personally handed the murderous knife to me!"

Lin Ran felt very sympathetic towards her, but he also understood that she was a murderer after all.

No matter how difficult her reasons were, she could not escape the punishment of the law.

He frowned and asked, "Is there anything else that worries you? I must arrest you and take you to the Dali Temple right now!"

Tears streamed down the woman's face as she pleaded with Lin Yiwan in a trembling voice, "Madam, I think you're a kindhearted person. You just saved my little Hu Niu. Can I ask you to help find a good family to adopt her? She's very well behaved. She can do many things at such a young age. She can even feed me medicine!"

Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Okay, I promise you, don't worry, I will find a good family for her!"

Children are always sensitive. Even though Hu Niu was a little slow to react, she realized at this moment that she might have to part with her mother.

She cried and threw herself on her, sobbing sadly: "Mom, please don't abandon Niuniu. Niuniu will be obedient and won't run around anymore or eat anything carelessly anymore!"

The woman wiped her tears and said, "My dear Tiger Girl, I did something wrong and I must be punished. Tiger Girl, remember to be a kind person and live a good life!"

Hu Niu shook her head vigorously: "Don't be separated from mother!"
