Chapter 199 Poisoning Investigation
The poisoning incident that occurred in the family compound was extremely heinous, and the compound was immediately placed under martial law almost as soon as the case was discovered.
Gu Jun's face darkened as he thought about what Shu Yun had just said. At that moment, Shu Yun also heard what the soldier had said and felt a wave of fear. She quickly hugged Gu Xi into her arms.
"Mom." Gu Xi was a little confused.
Shu Yun felt the warmth emanating from the child's body, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Thank goodness, thank goodness she hadn't eaten him.
But at the same time, she was very suspicious, grabbing Gu Xi's shoulders and carefully confirming, "You really didn't eat that bun? Not even a single bite? Tell Mom the truth."
Gu Xi could sense that the atmosphere was unusual, especially since Shu Yun's hand, which was gripping his arm, was trembling slightly, which made him a little scared. He shook his head like a rattle drum, "Mom, I didn't eat anything, not a single bite."
"Phew." Shu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that they didn't eat it."
Then she gave Gu Xi's head a playful slap, "You really scared me to death, kid. Don't you dare eat things off the ground like that next time, or I'll really get angry."
Gu Xi tilted her head up to look at the three serious faces, then lowered her head and said, "I understand."
"Oh, right," Shu Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did A-A-happy eat anything?"
Hearing the commotion, Ah happy came over, but before she could even squat down at Shu Yun's feet, Shu Yun pried her mouth open.
Ah-happy: Waaah?
Shu Yun looked at the dog's teeth and saw that they were clean, without any meat scraps or bun skin.
Gu Xi shook her head: "No? Neither Axi nor I ate any. Aunt Wang took the buns away before we could eat them."
"That's good, that's good."
"Uh, Commander Gu. Would it be convenient for your family to come with us?" the soldier urged.
Gu Jun looked at his clothes. "Hmm, that's fine, but could you give us some time to change?"
The soldier nodded, and the family of three went back inside. Gu Xi was still a little unhappy, pouting, "Wasn't it fine if we went out dressed like this? Why did we have to change?"
Shu Yun thought to herself: Is it because your father cares about his reputation?
Adults are no match for children, so the family of three quickly changed into proper clothes and followed the soldiers to the interrogation room.
The interrogation room was only about 10 square meters, with dark gray cement walls on all four sides and a small light bulb hanging from the ceiling in the middle, emitting a pale white light.
The room was small but spacious, with only a solid wood table and a few chairs in the middle, giving it the feel of an interrogation room.
This environment made Gu Xi instinctively feel nervous. He involuntarily pressed his small body against Shu Yun's calf, and Shu Yun picked him up.
The newcomer was an officer whom Shu Yun did not recognize. He greeted Gu Jun first, then smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we're just asking about the situation."
"Xiao Zhang, go pour a few cups of hot tea. Gu Xi, when did you discover meat buns? Where did you first find them?"
The question was asked to Gu Xi right away. The serious scene and atmosphere made him feel at a loss. He looked at Shu Yun helplessly, and under Shu Yun's encouraging gaze, he pouted and said, "Yes, it's on the road next to my house. Yes, it was A Xi who saw it first, and then I ran over. We wanted to eat it, but Aunt Wang stopped us, so we didn't get to eat it."
Based on the investigation of other people in the compound, it can be roughly determined that the meat buns first appeared near the wall near Shu Yun's house.
Shu Yun asked, "Has it been confirmed that the meat buns are poisonous?"
The officer opposite nodded. "The child is out of danger for now. Analysis of the vomit shows that the bun contained poison."
Shu Yun unconsciously gripped Gu Xi's small hand even tighter. Gu Jun patted Shu Yun's shoulder and gently comforted her, "It's alright, don't be afraid."
It would be a lie to say I'm not scared. After all, based on the current location of the spores, there's an 80% chance that the person who deliberately threw the buns is targeting Shu Yun's house.
Immediately afterwards, the troops called Wang Keying over to inquire about the situation at the time, and her account was largely the same as that of Gu Xi.
The officer then asked Shu Yun, "Do you usually have any enemies?"
Shu Yun shook her head subconsciously, but then hesitated, "My relationship with Ding Hongmei next door is just so-so. And my relationship with Hong Hui, who is good friends with Ding Hongmei, is also just so-so."
"Because Gu Xi and Hong Hui's son had some conflicts before, my dog A Xi would bark incessantly every time he saw Hong Hui pass by. So the relationship between the two families wasn't very good."
"Dog?"
The officer stopped writing; indeed, this poisoning case seemed more like it was targeting dogs. But poisoning dogs with meat buns—what was the poisoner's motive? Was it to kill the dog, or a person, or perhaps kill two birds with one stone?
Soon, Ding Hongmei and her family were also called over.
Ding Hongmei snorted coldly, "Are you mistaken? I poisoned someone? What evidence do you have? I was working at the school all day yesterday, how could I have had time to come back? The students and teachers at the school can all testify for me."
Ding Hongmei spoke arrogantly, yet with a hint of schadenfreude that Shu Yun couldn't understand.
Before Shu Yun could figure it out, a soldier rushed in, shouting, "Oh no, Hong Hui isn't home!"
"Go check it out quickly."
After explaining everything, Shu Yun and her family left. While resting in bed, Shu Yun was still shaken. "Was it really Hong Hui who did it? That's terrifying. Gu Xi really needs to teach her a lesson. I told her not to eat things she picked up on the roadside before, but she wouldn't listen. You should have a good talk with her tomorrow."
Gu Jun pulled his wife into his arms. "Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow."
A soft knocking sound came from the door.
"Mom, are you asleep?"
"Dad, are you asleep?"
That's the little guy's voice.
Shu Yun nudged Gu Jun, who got up and opened the door. There he saw the little guy hugging a pillow, looking pitiful as a tiny bundle.
As soon as the door opened, the little one ran to the bedside, gently rubbing his reddened eyes, "Mommy, I'm scared, I want to sleep with you."
The child hadn't listened to his mother before, but after being questioned, he roughly understood what had happened. It turned out that the fragrant meat buns sold by the roadside were indeed poisonous. If he had eaten them, he might not be able to see his parents now.
The thought of this possibility made the little guy shrink into his small room. The darkness only made him feel scared. Burying his whole body in the blanket did not help. He could only hug his little pillow and run to his mother for shelter.
Gu Xi said softly, "Mom, I really know I was wrong this time. I will never pick up things from the ground and eat them again. And Ah happy, I will keep an eye on it and not let it eat anything indiscriminately."
The power of a good boy is immense, and the old mother can't refuse. Shu Yun patted the bed next to her, "Get on."
