Chapter 425 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (8)
Chapter 425 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (8)
"My wife was thirsty, and after drinking some cold water when we got home, she started foaming at the mouth and lost consciousness!"
"Village chief, my wife is one too!"
"And my mom..."
"My, my sister-in-law..."
Several people rushed to report the situation, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
Village chief Wang Tiejun caught up from behind, his mind going blank for a moment.
As Jian Yin was being escorted by the police, she lowered her head, a smug smile flashing across her eyes. Luo Ning, you're dead!
The onlookers were completely bewildered.
"Don't panic, it's nothing!" Luo Ning's brows furrowed into a knot; she never expected Jian Yin to be so vicious.
"Are you sure the problem all stemmed from drinking water? Where did the water come from? Was it drawn from the river or the well? Anyone watching the commotion outside, hurry home and take them to the village office. Dad, go check on them!"
"Hey!" Luo Baiwan immediately took action, leading the onlookers on the periphery to rush away.
The group of people who came to deliver the news pieced together an answer from their conversation: those families were drinking water from a makeshift tap on the mountain!
Oh mo!
A bucket of excrement floated down from the sky and landed right on Luo Ning's head, since the tap water came from her house.
"Brother-in-law, Uncle Qi, I suspect someone has poisoned the water. Brother-in-law, please quickly block the tap water outlet in my backyard, and then tell everyone not to use the tap water! Throw away any used water immediately, and use well water for cooking. If anyone shows signs of poisoning, send them all to the village office! Also, notify the village doctor to go to the village office immediately to help!"
Wang Tiejun hurriedly led his men away, causing an uproar among the others.
Uncle Qi felt a little dizzy and had to hold onto the fence to steady himself.
This is the first time in so many years that such a serious accident has occurred in the village.
I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I came over after sending Lu Qing up the mountain today. I haven't had a chance to rest yet. I'm getting old, and my physical strength and energy are not keeping up.
Luo Ning glanced at the restless, ill-intentioned crowd, his expression inscrutable.
Xie Chang'an grasped Luo Ning's hand and said to the police officer, "Officer, such a big thing has happened in the village, we need to report it!"
The fact that Uncle Qi and the onlookers kept echoing his suggestion to poison the water was truly wicked; their hearts were blackened beyond measure.
Luckily, they were here watching the excitement today and didn't have time to cook.
Although it delayed my family's meal, it also prevented food poisoning.
Several police officers accepted the case, and because it was of great importance, they had to work on-site.
Therefore, Luo Ning's home became the primary crime scene for the investigation.
Just then, Jian Yin, with a forced smile, reported, "Officer, the person who poisoned us is right here. It's her!"
Jian Yin's gaze swept over Luo Ning and saw her holding hands with Xie Chang'an. She felt as if her heart had been pierced.
Her theft has been exposed, so she can't marry Xie Chang'an now, but she won't let Luo Ning be with her man. Without hesitation, she blurted out, "She is Luo Ning! The owner of this house, and the village's tap water all comes from her house!"
"You're spouting nonsense!" The Luo family members, represented by Liu Aihong, were furious, rolling up their sleeves and ready to rush in and fight at any moment.
Even Xie Changle didn't believe that Luo Ning would do such a thing. Although Luo Ning was annoying, he was still many times better than Jian Yin.
The onlookers on the other side also didn't believe it. Since Luo Ning got married, she had led everyone to get rich. They had gotten to know her a bit along the way, and they couldn't believe she would do something so vicious.
Those with ill intentions seize the opportunity and rush to jump out.
"Luo Ning did this. That little whore treats her in-laws like enemies. I've never seen anything like it in all my years!"
"Grandma Luo is still her own grandmother. So what if she accepted 200 yuan as a bride price? She wants to send him to jail! What kind of nonsense is this!"
“We can all testify to these things. Her younger sister, Luo Jing, has been at odds with her for a long time. The two sisters are like mortal enemies! If she weren't so vicious, why would Luo Jing treat her like that?”
"..."
The onlookers on the sidelines were so angry that their faces turned red, and they started fighting with them on the spot.
They're the dumbest when it comes to reasoning; they just love to hit people.
What's the point of reasoning with someone whose heart is smeared with lard and who is utterly wicked?
The proper thing to do is to beat them until they're crawling on the ground looking for their teeth.
The police officers immediately went to the rescue, but to no avail.
Both sides had long regarded each other as a thorn in their side.
The pro-democracy camp disliked those with malicious intentions who were causing trouble in the village and disrupting the village's peaceful and united situation.
They even sold the hair accessories outside, betraying their benefactors after using them. These ungrateful bastards must be brought down.
I've wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time, and today I finally got my chance.
Those who harbor ill intentions and fawn over Luo Ning are all his lackeys and must be dealt with properly.
They make all the hair accessories themselves, so what if they sell them outside? These days, who would turn down money?
When the two forces clashed, heads were smashed into pieces.
Liu Chunsheng helped maintain order; that was all he could do.
He's from this village, so naturally he needs to avoid suspicion.
The burden of investigating the case fell entirely on his colleagues.
Things went even more smoothly today than he and his older cousin had planned; the era of retaliation had finally arrived.
Luo Ning, the person involved, squatted on the ground with her head down, looking somewhat frustrated.
Xie Chang'an was a little flustered, and he held a grudge against Jian Yin and those troublemakers.
He angered his wife; we need to settle this score with them.
Actually, Luo Ning wasn't angry at all. She was thinking about the logical flaws in her plans...
The village's tap water source is from her house, so there is a possibility that she was the one who poisoned the water.
The villagers are generally simple-minded and wouldn't suspect that someone deliberately poisoned her to frame her.
The mastermind behind this wanted to make her a public enemy in the village and drive her out of the village.
It's likely that someone came up with the idea of poisoning her and framing her when the villagers came to her house to connect the water pipes.
She meant well by helping the villagers, but ended up being accused of poisoning them.
Sure, that's really good!
With the combined efforts of the police, the village militia, and Uncle Qi, the two groups were finally separated.
The scene was chaotic, with flowers, plants, women's hair and headdresses scattered on the ground, and both sides suffering injuries of varying degrees.
A middle-aged policeman stood in the middle of the courtyard, hands on his hips, and shouted, "A vicious poisoning incident has occurred in Qing'an Village. Our police station has accepted the report."
We request the village chief, clan head, and militia members to cooperate with us in handling this case. From now on, the militia members will block all exits from the village; entry is permitted, but exit is not.
All villagers must cooperate with the investigation, appear when summoned, and must not refuse or delay for any reason or excuse.
Everyone, move outside the courtyard and do not block the gate. If the villagers start fighting again, we will have to take coercive measures!
The air fell silent instantly.
The villagers, who were naturally afraid of the police, hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard under the organization of Uncle Qi, leaving only Jian Yin, the police officers, and the people from the Luo family camp.
The police came to arrest Jian Yin, so they stayed behind, and Jian Yin naturally stayed behind as well.
Moreover, Jian Yin is a villager, and before the matter is fully investigated, everyone in the village is a suspect in the poisoning. Jian Yin must stay and accept the investigation.
Luo Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that even the air felt much better.
A police officer unlocked Jian Yin's handcuffs and rubbed his wrist, which he had injured while breaking up the fight.
Once Jian Yin was free, she became arrogant, pointing at Luo Ning and shouting, "Officer, Luo Ning is the culprit who poisoned us! Arrest her!"
"Kacha!"
