CHAPTER XVIII

Ge Song's body was found in a reservoir in Zhoujia Village.

Everyone in Zhoujia Village knows this.

After soaking in the water for a long time, the skin is white and wrinkled.

The people of Zhoujia Village took it for granted that Ge Song's death was due to drowning.

Life in Zhoujia Village has been too peaceful, and it has passed peacefully for decades, so calm that people can't even think of it.

It's not that I didn't think Ge Song's death was strange, but no one thought that Ge Song would die because of being killed, and no one would have thought that Ge Song was poisoned by Liu Yong.

The accident is not terrible, but it is terrible for him to kill.

The people of Zhoujia Village, who have been living peacefully for so many years, were frightened by Monday's words at this moment.

But the truth is often cruel, and cruelty is often covered up.

No matter what it is, no matter how long it is hidden, there will always be a day when it will be excavated.

The strange awkwardness that once occasionally crossed people's hearts and crossed people's minds, because of the young man's words, seemed to be connected together by a needle in an instant, and strung together into a dense net. And the antecedents and consequences of that story are like this net, there are discrepancies and results.

The direction of the wind in the compound changed faintly for a while.

The eyes of these villagers of Zhoujia Village, who had originally come here for a wedding banquet, looked at Liu Yong at this moment, and unconsciously turned into suspicion, exploration, and scrutiny.

Liu Yong saw that the situation was not good, and scolded in his heart: "Fuck it!" The expression on his face became more and more gloomy, and there was more eagerness than before under the gloom. He opened his mouth and yelled at Zhou Yi: "Lao Tzu let your mother's bullshit! Why do you say that I poisoned Liu Yong!"

People who have ghosts in their hearts always prefer to bluff.

Zhou Yi looked at Liu Yong fixedly, and his expression did not move, but when he blurted out the first dirty word, a gloomy color quietly flashed between his eyebrows.

He looked at Liu Yong, as if he was looking at an ordinary person he didn't know, and his voice was flat and low.

He said, "Arsenic." ”

He only said these two words, and Liu Yong's face was startled for a moment, and then it was difficult to look.

Zhu Huiniang was very close to Liu Yong, and she could see the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, his pupils suddenly dilated because of fright, and his lips that were slightly white and trembling because of nervousness.

She's not stupid, she's smart.

She already believed Zhou Yi's words, it was Liu Yong who harmed Ge Song. But when she saw Liu Yong's series of reactions with her own eyes, her heart was still as if she had been cut by a knife, and perhaps there was a faint sense of guilt and self-blame.

Arsenic, what a poison.

Ah Song must have suffered a lot.

She had heard that people who were poisoned would have spasms in their limbs, paralyzed breathing, and convulsions. That's why Ah Song, who is good at water, will not be able to swim ashore, will be entangled in his legs by aquatic weeds, and will drown in the reservoir alive.

The pain in my heart was like clenching together, and I was about to breathe.

When Ah Song was in the water, was he as uncomfortable as she was now?

Zhu Huiniang covered her heart and bent down.

"What did you say? arsenic...... Arsenic?" Captain Lieutenant exclaimed.

The villagers of the Zhou family were shocked, and their eyes widened to look at Liu Yong.

Aunt Zhu hid behind the door, Zhu Dalang quietly pulled the hem of Aunt Zhu's clothes, and whispered: "Mother, did you hear what they said?"

Aunt Zhu slapped Zhu Dalang's hand back, "snapped", frowned and whispered: "I'm not deaf, of course I heard it! You are quieter!" After speaking, she quietly stared at the yard, looking at Liu Yong, who was still standing in the dark, trembling all over, and muttering in her mouth, "I didn't expect Liu Yong's kid to be so vicious, that's a living human life......" said and shuddered again, rubbed his arms, and suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart," I used to think that he was poor and didn't want Hui Niang to follow him, wouldn't he hate me in his heart a long time ago?" the more Aunt Zhu thought about it, the more frightened she became, "This kind of person is really not a person! It's a devil! No, it's more terrible than a devil!"

"You...... You are talking nonsense!" Liu Yong lost his mind for a long time before he came back to his senses, "I don't know what arsenic is not arsenic, I haven't seen it!" he flatly denied.

"Yes...... Is there any evidence?" the lieutenant went to look at Zhou Yi again, "This ...... If this is really Liu Yong poisoned Ge Song, this ...... It's complicated. That...... That's going to report to the town and report to the government......"

"That's it, is there any evidence!" the villagers of the Zhou family also followed.

This time, Zhou Yi didn't ask again, but patiently explained: "I have already gone to the pharmacy in the town to confirm, Liu Yong sent the little guy around him to buy three taels of arsenic at the pharmacy before returning to Zhoujia Village." ”

After he finished speaking, he went to look at Liu Yong again: "You probably don't know that the Great Zhou State has a clear rule that prohibits the indiscriminate sale of drugs and medicinal materials in pharmacies, especially this kind of highly toxic drugs. ”

Liu Yong's body trembled when he heard this, and he staggered back a few steps.

He didn't know that there was a record of buying a medicine.

When the people saw this, they almost understood.

Liu Yong still didn't give up, and said in a dying struggle: "That's right, I asked someone to buy some arsenic, that's because there are too many rats in our silk village warehouse, and we can't get rid of it cleanly, and a lot of valuable silk has been bitten off." I couldn't help it, so I thought I'd buy some arsenic to make rat poison. Why, is it because I bought arsenic poison rats that you insist that I poisoned Ge Song? What evidence do you have to prove that Ge Song was poisoned? The big guy saw so many pairs of eyes, Ge Song fell into the reservoir and drowned. Isn't it as clear as you can see so many pairs of eyes?"

The more Liu Yong spoke, the louder he became, and the green tendons on his neck that he used hard protruded.

Zhou Yi looked at Liu Yong lightly.

Liu Yong seemed to have regained some confidence by his own statement, and was sure that Zhou Yikong said it with one mouth without factual evidence, and in the end there was nothing to do with him.

But Zhou Yi never does things that he is not sure of.

Liu Yong is now in his eyes just a street rat who has been forced into a corner and has no way to retreat, and his loud howl is just an empty and bottomless useless struggle.

He was impatient to watch Liu Yong's clown trick again, ready to deliver the final blow. But at this moment, he saw that a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the half-height courtyard wall of the Zhu family's compound, and a low and deep voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

"Liu Yong, return my life......"
