Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
In the afternoon, Wang Xiaohua and Wang Erhai returned to the County City Side.
Wang Erhai helped Wang Xiaohua move Li Jianjia's belongings upstairs together.
Placed them neatly in Li Jianjia's room.
Wang Xiaohua offered incense to Li Jianjia, and spoke facing her Portrait of the Deceased:
"Jianjia, I've moved all your things from University Town back here. You take care over there. Reassure yourself, I'll take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me. I know you don't want me to be despondent, so I'll live on strongly."
Wang Erhai sat outside in the Living Room, looking at the Living Room that had been converted into a mourning hall, and couldn't help but feel a bit heart-wrenching.
He thought to himself that if the left and right Neighbors found out, they'd surely come to complain.
However, Wang Xiaohua doesn't come back often, and every time he enters and exits he closes the Gate properly, so the left and right Neighbors probably won't easily find out.
Just as he was thinking this, at this moment Wang Erhai's Mobile Phone rang.
Wang Erhai took it out to look, and it was his mother Li Xiulan calling.
"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"
Wang Erhai answered the phone.
Li Xiulan's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Erhai, hurry back! The Farm has a Big Thing happen!"
Wang Erhai was Stunned, and hurriedly asked:
"What happened?"
Li Xiulan's tone was urgent:
"That Pond, don't know how, suddenly a lot of Fish died!"
Wang Erhai was Immediately shocked:
"How could this happen? It's all Mountain Spring Water, no chemicals are put in, how could Fish suddenly die?"
Li Xiulan hurriedly said:
"I don't know what the situation is either, you hurry back for a trip!"
Wang Erhai then said:
"Okay, okay! I'll be back in a bit!"
Wang Erhai's heart sank to the bottom, because he had already agreed with the Huangsheng Hotel side that in Two Days he still had to supply a batch of Grass Carp!
Now the Pond has this kind of thing happen, the Fish definitely can't be supplied!
At this time Wang Xiaohua walked out from the Bedroom, saw Wang Erhai's expression was Heavy expression, and asked:
"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
Wang Erhai answered Honesty:
"Just now Mom called over, said my Pond died a lot of Fish!"
Wang Xiaohua hearing this, was also shocked, his first Reaction was:
"Could it be someone poisoned it!"
Wang Erhai Frowned, finding it Difficult to Accept Wang Xiaohua's inference:
"Shouldn't be, I haven't offended anyone, who would have nothing better to do than put poison in my Pond?"
Wang Xiaohua then said:
"I'm just guessing blindly, let's hurry back and see what the situation is! We'll draw conclusions then!"
So the two brothers hurriedly rushed back to Shanggou Village.
It was also fortunate that they happened to be back in the County Town for a trip; if they were still in Guangzhou, then going from Guangzhou back to Shanggou Village now, by the time they arrived at Shanggou Village it would probably already be Evening.
Investigating the truth late at night would probably also be comparatively difficult.
Half An Hour later, they arrived back at Shanggou Village.
They didn't even go home, directly rushed to the Farm side.
Arriving at the Pond here, only saw on the Pond water surface, a large patch of Fish died, white bellies turned up floating on the water surface.
There were also many not dead, also half-dead half-alive with Mouths extended out of the water surface, breathing with difficulty.
"Mom, when did you discover the dead Fish?"
Wang Erhai hurriedly asked Li Xiulan.
Li Xiulan then said Honesty:
"I went to Town with Zhou Aidi this morning to buy things, then came back in the Afternoon, and discovered a large patch of Fish dead. As for specifically what time the Fish started dying, I'm not too clear either. Yesterday Afternoon when feeding Fish Grass, they were still fine."
Wang Xiaohua hearing this, then said:
"That is to say, it's possible it started last night, also possible it started this morning."
Then hurriedly said to Wang Erhai:
"Second Brother, let's go look at the Pond's water inlet!"
The two brothers walked together toward the Pond's water inlet Direction.
Arriving at the water inlet side, sure enough discovered the situation!
Only saw here scattered three plastic packaging bags, on them written the words "Huangteng Jing"!
This Huangteng Jing, is specifically used to clean Ponds, kill wild miscellaneous Fish medicine. This kind of medicine only kills Fish, has basically no effect on shrimp, crabs, snails, water grass!
It was obvious that someone had put three packets of Huangteng Jing into this pond, which was why all the fish in the pond had turned up their white bellies!
"Sure enough, it was poisoned by someone!"
Seeing the Huangteng Jing packaging bags, Wang Xiaohua's face showed surprise, and he said so.
Wang Erhai was furious beyond measure:
"Just which beast is it! When did I offend him, to the point of doing such a conscience-less thing to me!"
Wang Erhai really couldn't figure out who he had offended.
Wang Xiaohua, however, had long ago thought of a candidate in his heart, but before obtaining solid evidence, he couldn't rashly speculate; otherwise, if he guessed wrong, it would affect neighborhood relations.
So Wang Xiaohua said:
"Second Brother, let's hurry and report to the police. Poisoning is a serious crime and can be filed as a criminal case. Let the police help us investigate and collect evidence; they'll probably be able to find out the truth very soon."
Wang Erhai sighed:
"Alright, alright, now there's only this way!"
At this time Wang Xiaohua said:
"The Huangteng Jing bags might still have the culprit's fingerprints on them. Don't go touching this evidence yet; wait for the police to come collect it."
Wang Erhai nodded.
Immediately he dialed 110 to report to the police.
He explained the situation here to the police.
Only about an hour passed before a police car arrived at Shanggou Village. Two officers, led by Wang Erhai, came to the pond side to collect evidence.
The officer responsible for evidence collection was perfunctory at first. He took a few dead fish, took away those few Huangteng Jing packaging bags, and just told Wang Erhai to wait for news.
Seeing this, Wang Erhai was somewhat depressed and hurriedly asked:
"Police Comrade, roughly when will there be results?"
One officer said:
"We can't say for sure either. Your fish pond doesn't have surveillance installed. If it had surveillance, the culprit could probably be found very quickly. Without surveillance, I'm afraid it'll be difficult."
Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but say a sentence:
"The Huangteng Jing bags very likely have the culprit's fingerprints on them. Wouldn't checking the fingerprints reveal the truth?"
That officer, however, said:
"This belongs to economic crime, and the economic value of your fish pond hasn't been determined yet. For economic crime, you can't just randomly check other people's fingerprints."
The other officer then said:
"Things like this happen very often in rural areas. In these years we've already encountered several cases of fish ponds being poisoned. The majority can't be solved. You all need to have psychological preparation. Additionally, even if it's solved, these dead fish can't possibly come back to life."
Hearing this, Wang Erhai was utterly dejected. Could it be that he just had to accept it like this?
Wang Xiaohua, however, knew that the so-called unsolvable cases were nothing but these people's lazy governance.
So he said without changing expression:
"If you can't solve it, I'm afraid I'll have to go invite County Magistrate Xiao over to take a look."
The two officers, hearing this, couldn't help but be stunned:
"Which County Magistrate Xiao?"
Wang Xiaohua then said:
"Xiao Xueqing, our county's Deputy County Magistrate. A few years ago when I tested into Tsinghua, she even personally came to my home and gave me three hundred thousand in scholarship money. We've kept in contact these years."
Actually, Wang Xiaohua had basically not contacted Xiao Xueqing much these years, but he had to say this. If he didn't, these two grassroots officers probably wouldn't take this matter to heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the two officers' faces immediately changed.
One of them said with a smile:
"So you're our county's Top Scorer from three years ago. No wonder I thought you looked a bit familiar!"
The other one then said:
"Such a small matter doesn't need to trouble County Magistrate Xiao. Rest assured, we'll help you handle it properly!"
