Chapter 976 They're all poisoned.
Li Hua and Yu Ziheng stared at her in astonishment. Not only that, the police officers who were with Li Hua also looked at each other, their eyes revealing deep confusion.
Jiang Jiyun noticed the suspicious looks from everyone, and she quickly explained, "Take a close look at each other's lips. Do you notice that the color is a little different from the normal color?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei immediately focused his attention on the lips of those people.
Upon closer inspection, his heart began to race.
Good heavens, this is no ordinary situation! Poisoning the people of an entire village is not something just anyone can do.
Yu Ziheng's voice trembled slightly as he asked incredulously, "No way? Who poisoned us? I haven't offended anyone!"
Li Hua was equally suspicious. He muttered to himself, "We've been poisoned too? How is that possible?"
Although Jiang Jiyun did not know the specifics of the situation here, she observed that Butler Song, Yu Nian, and the Yu family's servants all looked the same.
So she said, "I don't know why this is happening either, but the poison must be slow-acting, not something that was caused in a day."
Li Hua looked at Jiang Jiyun nervously and asked, "How do you know so much? Are you studying medicine?"
Jiang Jiyun nodded and said, "I'm still studying. I'm studying traditional Chinese medicine."
“Boss, I remember around the Dragon Boat Festival, the manager of Huichuntang mentioned something.” A person behind Li Hua suddenly spoke up, his voice not loud but drawing everyone’s attention.
Li Hua's face turned somewhat ugly. He glared at the person who spoke and asked irritably, "Sun Dahai, what did you say?"
Sun Dahai felt a little uneasy after being glared at by Li Hua, but he still forced himself to say, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, Manager Qian came to the police station and said that someone had poisoned everyone in the city. At that time, many people said that Manager Qian had gone mad."
Upon hearing Sun Dahai's words, Li Hua and the others remembered what had happened a few months ago.
At that time, Manager Qian suddenly ran to the police station, claiming that someone was poisoning the entire city, but everyone thought he was talking nonsense, and some even said he was crazy.
Yu Ziheng's heart began to race involuntarily as he thought of the Chinese medicine shop that had suddenly closed down.
All he knew was that the shop had closed down without warning, and everyone inside had moved away, but he didn't know the specific reasons.
"So that's how Huichuntang closed down?" Yu Ziheng muttered to himself.
Seeing that they were all stunned, Jiang Jiyun said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. Those who are weak and sickly have probably already fallen ill, and the women and children are probably in no better condition either. As for what symptoms they will have, you can find out by checking."
Li Hua no longer cared about investigating the Yu family's case; he immediately led his men away from the Yu family and fled.
Seeing that the third branch of the family still had many thugs, Jiang Jiyun pulled Xiao Wei back into the house.
Yu Ziheng, his face pale, closed the small door and followed them back into the house.
When Jiang Jiyun returned, Jiang Wenli took her hand and hugged her.
"Excuse me, I may have to interrupt your warm gathering now," Jiang Jiyun said to her brother and uncle without a smile on her face.
Jiang Jiyuan immediately became serious. "What's going on?"
Xiao Wei recounted what had just happened, and Jiang Wenming and the others observed the Yu family members; their lips were indeed turning slightly purple.
Jiang Wenming sighed and said, "I originally thought that all I had to do here was find a relative, save someone, have some good food, and then leave. I didn't expect things to go beyond my expectations."
Jiang Wenli looked at her son in disbelief, and when he nodded, she exclaimed, "No way! We go to the hospital for regular checkups, don't we? There's nothing seriously wrong with my health!"
Jiang Jiyun thought their condition didn't seem like ordinary drug poisoning; it looked more like metal poisoning, but there was no conclusive evidence.
Yu Ziheng asked worriedly, "Mom, did you have any illnesses detected during your checkup?"
Butler Song said, "His teeth are loose, some are red and swollen, he always has a bad taste in his mouth, there are some red spots on his skin, and he is losing hair."
Yu Ziheng asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say? So many symptoms and there's still no problem?"
Butler Song explained, "The doctor said it's normal for teeth to loosen and skin to develop spots as people get older, and hair loss isn't a disease; everyone loses hair."
Jiang Jiyun didn't speak, while Jiang Wenming pretended to reach into his handbag and take out a book without a cover.
He carefully searched through the catalog, flipping through each page one by one, while Jiang Jiyun leaned against his older brother, squinting as he pondered.
Meanwhile, Li Hua sent people to the hospital to inquire about the situation, and he also led his men to investigate one by one in the city.
In the afternoon, Li Hua and the hospital director came to Yu Ziheng's house and saw several men soaking in wooden tubs in the yard.
Butler Song explained, "My uncle is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He's trying to detoxify them. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to move away from here."
Dean Qiao looked at the dark medicine barrel and smelled the Chinese medicinal herbs inside. He could only detect the aroma of a few herbs.
Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei took Jiang Jiyun around the city, and the situation was even worse than they had imagined.
Jiang Jiyun whispered, "Brother, do you think the Japanese tampered with the water source? Otherwise, how could everyone in the city have escaped?"
Cui Fu, who came out with them, said, "There are so many households in the city, some drink tap water, and some drink their own well water. It's unlikely that they would poison the water, right?"
Jiang Jiyun glanced at him but didn't say anything. Often, the most unlikely thing is the closest to the truth.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the entrance of the teahouse. Jiang Jiyuan pulled his sister inside, where they were cleaning.
The waiter greeted the guests with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, you're late today. The storyteller has just left, so the show is over for today."
Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei exchanged a glance, then Nan Hai suddenly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong? Can't I even have a cup of tea at your teahouse if I don't want to listen to storytelling?"
Hearing Nan Hai's loud voice, the shopkeeper rushed over to smooth things over, saying, "Gentlemen, please don't be angry. Please come in and have some tea served right away."
Cui Fu watched them sit down and then sat down at the table next to them.
Upon seeing the teapot, melon seeds, and peanuts, Jiang Jiyun picked up the teacup poured by the waiter and began to drink.
Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei tried to stop her, but it was too late. She said, "Waiter, your tea has a refreshing sweetness, unlike other teas!"
The shopkeeper laughed, but then composed himself and replied, "Miss, you can tell just by taking a sip. The water we use is spring water that we bring back from outside every day."
When Jiang Jiyuan and the others heard what the shopkeeper said, they noticed that the shopkeeper and the waiter's lips were different from those of Li Hua and Yu Ziheng.
