Chapter 427 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (9)
Liu Aihong was alone in the kitchen, standing behind the stove mixing noodles.
"Er Ya, come here!" Liu Aihong beckoned to Luo Jing.
Luo Jing's eyes suddenly welled up with tears; she hadn't heard the name "Er Ya" for many years...
At the beginning of the year, when her sister returned home for her wedding, she called her over once, and she made her lose face. Thinking about it, I'm really a mess.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Luo Jing wiped her face, walked to the stove, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the bowl of noodles.
Why is there only one noodle? That's so strange! She's never seen one before.
"Er Ya, this is longevity noodles your sister made for you, and she also made two poached eggs. Eat it while it's hot. Your sister said she's going to make you a cake tonight. And if you want to wear new clothes, feel free to wear them. It's your birthday today, so do whatever makes you happy!"
"Really?" Luo Jing looked incredulous, as if she were dreaming.
"Of course it's true. I don't know how to make longevity noodles. This is the first time I've seen them today. Er Ya, your sister not only has to worry about our family, but also about the workshop. It's not easy for her. Be good to your sister in the future! You're 16 years old now, you should be more sensible."
Liu Aihong said earnestly that she was still surprised that Daya would be celebrating Erya's birthday today.
"I understand!" Luo Jing walked over and picked up the bowl of noodles, tears welling up in her eyes.
Liu Aihong glanced at her, then turned and walked away. "Your sister told you not to forget what she asked you to do. Be smart this afternoon!"
"Sigh..." Luo Jing could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed down her cheeks.
In the courtyard, Jian Yin, who had been handcuffed to the pomegranate tree, had already been taken away by Liu Chunsheng. Luo Ning, holding a bowl of cold noodles, whispered to Liu Chunsheng, who was also holding a bowl of noodles, "Big cousin, what's the situation now?"
Liu Chunsheng smacked his lips. This cold noodle dish is really delicious. Everything my older cousin makes is delicious.
It's a pity his colleagues couldn't have any; it's quite a shame.
"Your father and the village doctor were diagnosed with rat poison. Let me tell you, those people who sell traditional Chinese medicine have ulterior motives. They really got what they deserved!" Liu Chunsheng sneered gloatingly. Serves them right!
Those bastards aren't being honest; they keep accusing my older cousin! They even threatened to never use tap water again.
"My colleagues are currently investigating rat poison in villagers' homes and searching for evidence around the hot springs in the mountains!"
Two others went to the town, and judging from the extent of the villagers' poisoning, at least several kilograms of rat poison were used to poison them.
This rat poison isn't homemade; the person who poisons it has to buy it from town!
Today is the market day, so if we bring the rat poison sellers here and identify who bought the rat poison, then the suspect will be the most likely to be poisoned.
Why is it the largest? Because the person who buys the medicine may not be the one who poisons the victim; the murderer may have instructed someone else to buy the medicine.
However, the person who bought the medicine must know the person who poisoned it, and they must have been very close to them, which narrows down the scope of the investigation.
If anyone in the drug-buying circle matches the traces left at the scene, that's the murderer!
“No problem!” Luo Ning’s lips curled up slightly, a victorious smile on his face, as he walked toward the kitchen. When he saw Xie Chang’an, his lips immediately drooped.
Xie Chang'an, just wash your neck and wait. I'll deal with you as soon as I'm done!
Xie Chang'an expressed his pleasure, saying it was an honor to be dealt with.
To facilitate his cooperation with the police summons, the prime suspect, Luo Ning, stayed at home.
Luo Ning and Luo Yang occupied Xie Chang Le's room and continued their training.
Xie Chang'an sat at the door like a wooden statue, guarding the entrance.
He actually wanted to go in, but he was a criminal now, and going in would only upset his wife.
He could stay outside, which allowed him to hear his wife's voice while avoiding making her angry—a win-win situation.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Ning heard footsteps and looked out the window.
When she discovered that the police had returned with all the rat poison sellers in town, her family members gradually appeared in the yard, and onlookers flocked to her yard to watch the drama unfold.
"That's enough for today, we'll continue tomorrow afternoon!" Luo Ning got up and walked out. He had finished his work and it was time to go out and catch the dog.
"Okay!" Luo Yang excitedly put away his notes. The training over the past few days had greatly broadened his horizons.
He admired Luo Ning immensely and became even more convinced that his initial decision was correct.
Hearing footsteps, Xie Chang'an handed over a vat of water.
Brother, what happened to you? Xie Changle said he couldn't bear to look at himself anymore.
Luo Ning was thirsty, so he carried his enamel mug and drank water as he walked outside.
"Big Cousin!" Liu Chunsheng rushed in and gave Luo Ning a wink.
Luo Ning understood immediately, handed him the enamel mug, and left right away.
A group of suspected drug smugglers stood in the courtyard. The man selling rat poison carefully examined them and shook his head at the police, "It's not them!"
The police officers exchanged glances. Could there still be someone who had slipped through the net?
"Officers, you haven't searched Luo Ning's house yet!"
Jian Yin's sinister voice came from the corner of the wall, filled with unprecedented malice, as if she wanted to send Luo Ning to hell.
Luo Ning gave Jian Yin a forced smile and said, "Since everyone else has investigated, let's investigate my family too!"
Several police officers, accompanied by militiamen, conducted a thorough search of Luo Ning's house, checking every nook and cranny, but found nothing.
"Officers, you haven't checked the flower beds in the yard yet!" Jian Yin directed the officers' actions as if she had the hand of God.
Everyone's gaze turned to the flower bed against the wall on the right, a purple sea swaying in the wind.
Luo Jing's face darkened instantly. She ran to the flower bed and said, "No way! These are flowers that my sister planted with great difficulty. She almost died not long after she left, and my dad barely managed to save her. I don't agree to you touching them!"
Jian Yin glanced at Luo Jing's princess dress and resumed her provocative tactics.
"Jingjing, you're wearing your sister's hand-me-downs again? Can't you have any backbone at all..."
"Shut up!" Liu Donglan snorted coldly and immediately grabbed a broom.
If Jian Yin dares to cause trouble again, she'll beat her so badly her own mother won't recognize her!
Luo Jing unconsciously clenched her fists. Every time she got something good, Jian Yin would provoke her like this.
She was bewitched before and couldn't understand the ill intentions in her words.
Now that she's clear-headed, she realizes that she's been delirious all along, mistaking her family for enemies and her enemies for relatives.
"What's it to you if I'm talking to Jingjing!" Jian Yin rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.
"Jingjing, are you feeling guilty?"
"Why should I feel guilty?" Luo Jing was furious. She found Jian Yin really annoying.
I was so stupid back then, I didn't realize Jian Yin's wolfish ambitions at all.
She was so stupid, even she despised herself, yet her sister didn't abandon her and instead guided her onto the right path...
"If you're not guilty, then let the police officers dig it up and take a look! The fact that you're stopping the police officers means there's something wrong with Luoning!"
Jian Yin put Luo Jing on the hot seat, using Luo Jing to attack Luo Ning—this was her favorite thing to do.
She couldn't deny that poison was found on Luo Ning's property.
He only has theft, which is not enough to warrant death, but Luo Ning is involved in poisoning and will never be able to get out of prison.
She's been setting things up for so long, it's time to wrap things up.
That little slut Luo Ning stole her man and tried to harm her repeatedly; this is what happened to her!
She can go to jail for a few years and then come out, and Xie Chang'an will still be hers.
Back then, Luo Ning's bones were so big they could be used to make drums!
Jian Yin became increasingly smug, a smugness that was evident on her face.
Luo Jing and Liu Donglan wanted to rush up and tear Jian Yin's face apart every second.
The police officer looked at Luo Ning, the meaning of which was self-evident.
