9. Poisoning

After breakfast, Li Minqiang was about to go out, and Song Xiuqin ran home nervously and said, "Minqiang is not good!" Something's wrong! Go and check it out! ”

Li Baiwang and Minqiang hurriedly followed Song Xiuqin to the pigsty in the East Courtyard.

"Ahh couldn't help but be surprised, one of the two pigs was lying motionless in the pigsty with white foam in its mouth, and the other was standing trembling all over his body, and kept vomiting, Li Minqiang asked Xiuqin: "Mother, what are you feeding them?" ”

"I didn't feed anything!"

"How can you do this without feeding any pigs? It's poisoning! ”

"Ahh Can it still be saved? ”

Li Baiwang shouted angrily: "What else are you saving, it's all like this!" At this time, the pig that was not dead also foamed at the mouth and shook and staggered and fell.

Song Xiuqin wiped her tears and said: "I was just about to sell it for money, but this happened, what's going on!" ”

Li Minqiang tried his best to control his emotions, thinking to himself, his mother usually feeds the pigs very carefully. He stirred the pig food trough with a wooden stick, and looked at it carefully, there were some vegetable leaves and omnivorous inside, and there was nothing else, how could pigs be poisoned?

"Minqiang, look at this." Li Baiwang found a bottle of "dimethoate" pesticide under the root of the wall.

Li Minqiang asked: "Is this what our family threw away?" ”

"It's not ours." Li Baiwang said.

Song Xiuqin said: "We never litter these things, for fear that chickens and pigs will have an accident, and they are always placed in a special box in the Westinghouse." ”

At this time, Xiao Yulin came to Minqiang, and when he saw this situation, he was surprised and asked, "Auntie, what's going on?" ”

Song Xiuqin said with tears in her eyes: "I found out when I came to feed the pigs after breakfast." ”

Xiao Yulin jumped into the pigsty, pulled the dead pig and looked at it, walked to Minqiang's side and said, "I think this is someone deliberately poisoning, call the police." ”

"Yes, call the police!" Li Baiwang said angrily.

Li Baiwang called the police, and Li Minqiang repeatedly wondered, who has such a great hatred for us and does such a hurtful thing? whispered to Xiao Yulin: "Why did this happen." ”

Xiao Yulin said: "It's not strange that this happened. I think that only people who hate you will do such despicable things, think about who you have offended? ”

Li Minqiang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be him?" ”

"Things happen for a reason, and disasters do not arise without a cause. Quite possibly. ”

"But we don't have any evidence!"

"Let the police check the evidence!"

Director Chen of the town police station soon arrived with a policeman. The arrival of the police car attracted many onlookers. The police carefully surveyed the scene and around the pigsty, examined the dead pigs, and took photographs. The pesticide bottle was also taken away in a plastic bag.

"Who the hell is so lacking in virtue and doing such a hurtful thing! I'll fuck his eight ancestors! Let him die a good death! Let him pay for his life! ......" Li Baiwang stood at the mouth of the alley and stomped his feet and scolded.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The news that Li Baiwang's pigs were poisoned was also like the wind, and it quickly spread in the village.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Minqiang and Xiao Yulin were studying the terms of the contract for the FRP factory, and the director of the police station, Chen, came to the village committee with the police.

Director Chen said to Li Minqiang: "After on-site investigation, we determined that someone deliberately committed the crime, and judging from the footprints left by the perpetrator and the traces of crossing the wall left on the wall, the perpetrator climbed into it from the east wall. There are many handprints left on pesticide bottles, but the latest ones are two people. According to the time when the dead pig was found and the analysis of the symptoms of the dead pig, the crime was committed at about four or five o'clock in the morning. We are here to find the perpetrators in your village. Can you give us some more clues? ”

Li Minqiang said: "One of the two new handprints on the medicine bottle may be my father's, which he showed me after he found the medicine bottle. ”

Xiao Yulin interjected: "According to Director Chen's introduction, I have already guessed the suspect. ”

Li Minqiang said: "Brother Yulin, you have to have evidence, you can't guess blindly." ”

"What a nonsense, if I have evidence, I'll arrest him right away."

"Have you ever found anyone who regularly wears the Liberation Sneakers of the Army? The footprints left behind are the marks of the People's Liberation Army rubber shoes. ”

Xiao Yulin was stunned, could it be him? No way. He shook his head and quickly denied it. But he is the only one who often wears the sneakers of the People's Liberation Army in the army! He was confused. But he didn't say who he was.

At this time, Li Jianxin came, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Minqiang, your pig has been poisoned?" Xiao Yulin hurriedly pulled him out of the door and asked, "What are the green sneakers you often wear?" ”

"At home! What's going on? ”

"Hurry up and bring it."

"What for?"

"Don't ask, just get it."

"What are you doing?" Li Jianxin inexplicably went home to get his shoes.

Li Minqiang said: "Brother Yulin, you can't guess! ”

"What enemies do you have?" Director Chen asked Li Minqiang.

"No enemies, huh?" Li Minqiang replied.

Xiao Yulin said: "Minqiang offended people after becoming a secretary. ”

"Who have you offended?"

"Wang Xueyong."

"Wang Xueyong? What is your basis? ”

Xiao Yulin told Wang Xueyong about stealing electricity, refusing to pay electricity bills, and removing his electrician.

Director Chen pondered for a moment and said, "You called him." ”

Xiao Yulin came to Wang Xueyong's house, and his daughter-in-law Meng Xiuzhu said that he had helped his uncle work and did not come back. When I asked him when he left, she said she left yesterday morning. Xiao Yulin thought, isn't it him?

When Xiao Yulin came back to tell him about the situation, Director Chen thought that it did not match the time of the crime.

At this time, Li Jianxin came back, and when he entered the door, he said, "Yulin, what do you want my shoes for?" ”

"Why didn't you bring it?" Xiao Yulin asked.

"Ahem, my daughter-in-law washed me a few days ago and put it on the windowsill to dry, but somehow it's gone. It's really evil. ”

"What didn't you have?"

"I know! It's on the windowsill. ”

"Is it the liberation shoes of the troops?" Director Chen asked.

"yes. My brother in the army gave it to me, it's fine, what's wrong? ”

Director Chen did not reply. Li Jianxin was even more confused by the second monk.

Xiao Yulin asked, "Have you seen Wang Xueyong?" ”

"I saw it yesterday afternoon, what's wrong?"

When Director Chen heard this, he slapped the table and said decisively: "It's him!" He didn't go, he was at home, to his house! ”

Wang Xueyong really didn't leave, he had been hiding at home in fear, Xiao Yulin came to look for him, he quickly hid under the table and asked his daughter-in-law Meng Xiuzhu to come out for entertainment. As soon as the police entered the courtyard of his house, he panicked and slipped into the large closet.

Director Chen entered the room to observe and shouted, "Wang Xueyong! You come out! Suddenly opened the wardrobe door that was not closed tightly due to panic, Wang Xueyong came out trembling inside, like a beaten turtle, shrinking his neck, his face changed greatly, and his lips became gray and white. Meng Xiuzhu was also trembling with fright, standing aside and not daring to speak.

Director Chen asked, "Where did you hide your shoes?" Take it out! ”

Wang Xueyong trembled and took his shoes out of the toilet.

Li Jianxin went up and kicked Wang Xueyong and scolded: "It turns out that you stole shoes to frame me!" ”

"Take him away!" Director Chen said sharply.

Wang Xueyong was taken away.
