Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 307 Is there a problem with the water we're drinking?

Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou both fell silent after hearing the woman's words.

The woman glanced at the two of them and fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that two or three days before Wan Shuang died, we saw Xiao Min while we were working in the fields."

"What did you say?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"At first, it was just a normal greeting. Xiaomin can't speak, so when she saw us, she just waved and smiled before leaving. Just as Xiaomin was about to leave, Wan Shuang suddenly said she wanted to find her a boyfriend." The woman's expression was quite angry as she spoke. "Xiaomin is already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. In our area, at that age, children would already be in elementary school. Xiaomin has always been single. Everyone in the village says it's because of what happened with Tian Dajiang back then, so no one has been able to marry her. Nobody would mention marriage to Xiaomin, but that day she suddenly said that."

"After introducing her boyfriend, she even said something like, 'The guy is older, but he doesn't mind anything, as long as he finds a wife.' Listen to what she said. I interrupted her and let Xiaomin leave."

"As a result, Wan Shuang complained to me a few times, saying that I interrupted her and didn't let her finish speaking. I retorted that she shouldn't have said those words. She was trying to help introduce a potential partner, but she shouldn't have said those things in that way."

"Wan Shuang yelled at me, saying that what she said was true. She was a slut who had slept with countless men, so she had to find someone who wouldn't mind. She had been slept with, and she was too old. Who would want her? I was already being kind by introducing her to someone. She said I was meddling."

"It seems that Wan Shuang went to Xiao Min's house later to introduce her to someone. I don't know the specifics."

"What was Tian Min's reaction at the time?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“Xiaomin is honest and simple-minded, she didn’t resist, she just left without any reaction. I’ve heard this kind of talk so many times over the years, I guess I’ve gotten used to it,” the woman said.

"After she left, could Wan Shuang still hear what you were saying?" Su Miaoyi asked.

The woman thought for a moment and said, "She might be able to hear me; Wan Shuang has a loud voice too."

Su Miaoyi nodded, then paused and asked, "What's the story behind Tian Ming selling his daughter?"

"That's all nonsense from Wan Shuang and the others. I've never heard of Tian Ming wanting to sell his daughter," the woman said.

Su Miaoyi thought about what Yue Hong had said.

It seems that Tian Ming did indeed have the idea of ​​selling his daughter.

“Okay.” Su Miaoyi stood up. “We’ll be going now. We’ll come back to you if we need anything else.”

"Okay." The woman also stood up. "Officer, when do you think this case will be solved? I'm really scared. With people dying like this, if we never catch the killer, will everyone in this village die?"

"No," Su Miaoyi said. "Trust us."

“It’s not that I don’t trust you,” the woman said. “I know it was deliberate, which is why so many people went out to cause trouble last night, but neither of us did anything. What I meant was, if the case can’t be solved anytime soon, we’d like to go to another city and stay with our son for a few days. We were thinking of leaving when others started leaving, but our son got married, and his wife lives in the city. We’re just farmers, and we were worried about causing trouble for him, so we didn’t go. But yesterday, somehow our son and daughter-in-law heard about it and asked us to come. They’re coming to pick us up this afternoon.”

“If you’re worried, you can come and stay for a few days,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Okay, sure," the woman replied. "We have our contact information at the village committee. Just call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

When he returned to the village committee, Lu Zhishen had already drawn the portrait.

"We've already compared the results and shown them to the village chief and some villagers," Lu Zhishen said. "They're not from Yanjing Village, so we're expanding the matching pool."

Su Miaoyi looked at the portrait, sat down, and drank half a bottle of water: "Just as Zhuang Yanzheng said, he made a mistake in his arrangements. He should have had Yan Cheng come along to do the autopsy, and you stayed at the Municipal Bureau to draw the portrait."

Lu Zhishen smiled and asked, "What did you find out?"

Su Miaoyi flipped through the phone numbers in the notebook on the table: "Let me make a call."

Lu Zhishen watched as she found Tian Liu's contact information, dialed the number, and put it on speakerphone. Tian Liu answered quickly: "Who is this?"

Su Miaoyi introduced herself.

"Oh, oh, I remember, I remember. Is something wrong? Did someone come into my shop again?" Tian Liu said.

"No. The convenience store is safe," Su Miaoyi said. "I wanted to ask you, do you remember the glue Tian Min bought the morning you left?"

“I remember,” Tian Liu said. “She bought six the night before, so I thought I’d just leave them for free since she’d already bought so many.”

Lu Zhishen glanced at Su Miaoyi.

"Buying so much?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“She likes doing handicrafts,” Tian Liu said. “She often makes small things with sticks. She’s liked it since she was little and often goes to buy glue. She’s very skillful and can learn anything quickly.”

"Making handicrafts?" Su Miaoyi said.

“Yes, even a small house can be made so exquisitely,” Tian Liu said.

Su Miaoyi glanced at Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen.

When they went to Tian Min's house, they didn't see anything related to handicrafts.

"There's something else. Do you usually sleep very soundly? Is there any sound you can't hear?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

Chu Xingrou looked at her.

“I’m usually a light sleeper, but after having a baby, I’ve become a lighter sleeper and wake up at the slightest noise.” Tian Liu also found it strange, “I don’t know what happened that night, I didn’t hear such a loud noise.”

"You only slept soundly that one night, right?"

Tian Liu thought for a moment: "Didn't I come to see the child's father the next day? I slept quite well at his place that night, and the child's father even said that my sleep quality had improved. However, on the third day, I started waking up again whenever there was a slight disturbance."

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment: "What kind of cup do you usually use to drink water?"

“I carry a cup with me at all times. I’ve been using it for the past six months, taking it everywhere I go,” Tian Liu said with a smile. “I don’t like drinking water, so my husband bought me this cup so I’ll remember to drink water.”

“You two have a very good relationship,” Su Miaoyi said.

Tian Liu smiled again: "It's alright. By the way, why are you asking these questions? Do you suspect someone put something in my drink?"

“It’s just a suspicion. You should take some time to get a medical check-up, just in case,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Alright, alright." Tian Liu's voice immediately turned serious.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhishen said, "You suspect that Tian Liu and Yue Hong were drugged, which is why they were sleeping so soundly and didn't hear anything before the song started, is that right?"

"Yes."

　Goodnight everybody
