It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

A man, unable to bear the sight, grabbed the little boy and lifted him up, leaving him dangling in mid-air, crying incessantly.

Upon seeing this, Sun Hongying quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not taking good care of the child."

She took out some candy from her bag and looked at the man carrying her son. "Brother, if you help me carry my child up here, I'll give you a bag of candy as payment."

The man didn't want to send the child up, because the child was really annoying.

But when he heard that she would give him a bag of candy, he wavered.

After all, candy was a valuable commodity in those days.

Just as he was about to take his child there, he caught sight of the little girl who had been crushed. He made a request, "Give her an extra bag of candy, at least to calm her nerves."

With the train about to depart, Sun Hongying was extremely anxious. She repeatedly said "okay" and took out another bag of milk candy weighing one pound from her bag, handing it over along with the bag of fruit candy she had just received.

There wasn't enough time to repackage them.

"Here you go, sir, take this."

The man took the two packets of candy and handed the little boy to Sun Hongying.

Sun Hongying had just taken the child when the train started moving.

The man watched the departing train, then weighed the two bags of sugar in his hand, estimating that each bag weighed about a pound.

I opened it and took a look. "Oh, there's even a pack of White Rabbit candy."

He squatted down next to the little girl and said with a grin, "Little one, I got you a bag of candy too. One of them is milk candy. I also have children at home, so how about we each have half of the two bags?"

The little girl looked up at the man expressionlessly and said calmly, "No need, you can have it all."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but was stopped after taking only one step.

"Oh no, that won't do. If people find out, they'll say that your uncle is bullying a little kid like you."

The man quickly placed the two bags of candy on the ground, divided them up, wrapped them up, and gave one of the bags to the little girl.

The little girl didn't take it; instead, she pointed to the crowd not far away and said, "So many people are watching me take a bag of candy. Won't someone snatch it?"

The man was taken aback, then glared at the person not far away.

In those tough times, milk candy was an extremely precious luxury and a nutritional supplement; most families simply couldn't afford it.

"Where do you live? Uncle will take you home."

After the man finished speaking, he scratched his head, then remembered his mission there and said, "I'll take you home after I'm done with my business."

The little girl didn't say anything, but took a piece of candy out of the paper bag, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

One is enough!

After saying that, she darted into the crowd without giving the man a chance to react.

The man chuckled, jokingly remarking, "Wow, I've really gotten a great deal today."

My son is in for a treat today.

These words made some of the people nearby grit their teeth in anger.

Why were they so slow? Why didn't they take the little boy back first?

However, those who envied the man at that moment soon felt fortunate.

The man who received two packets of candy would soon find his joy turning to sorrow.

……

A scream suddenly rang out from the departing train.

"Ah, Zhenzhen..."

"Doctor, doctor, save my child!"

After Sun Hongying brought her son home, she lost her temper and slapped his buttocks several times.

A spoiled child who is suddenly beaten will not become obedient; he will only become more unruly.

He was jumping around in his seat, which annoyed everyone around him.

Thinking of her husband, thinking about the future, and seeing her son like this, Sun Hongying felt only darkness.

She took drastic measures and slapped her son across the face.

But who would have thought that this slap would actually make his nose bleed, and the bleeding wouldn't stop.

At that moment, she felt incredibly guilty, panicked, and helpless.

"Is there a doctor? Please save my child..."

None of us are doctors, so even if we want to help, we don't know where to begin.

Only one person ran to find the train conductor and explained the situation.

Soon, an announcement came over the loudspeaker, requesting a doctor to go to carriage number six.

After waiting for about five minutes, an elderly man hurried over carrying a box.

"Lay the child flat on their back."

Upon hearing this, the people next to them quickly cleared the table in front of the seats, and someone else took the child and placed him flat on the table.

The old man was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He took the child's hand to feel his pulse, and after a few seconds, his expression turned grim.

After another ten seconds or so, he looked at Sun Hongying and said, "Please accept my condolences."

Sun Hongying felt as if the sky had fallen. Why did they tell her to accept their condolences?

How could I say those three words to her?

This has to be a joke!

Everyone else was stunned. The child who was just jumping around a moment ago was suddenly gone?

"Impossible!" Sun Hongying's eyes were bloodshot. "You quack!"

The old doctor wasn't angry. Instead, he said, "Right now, you shouldn't be worrying about whether I'm a quack or not. You should call the police."

"The child died from poisoning, and the poisoning occurred no more than two hours ago."

The old doctor looked grave. He could only diagnose the poisoning and the time of onset by taking the pulse, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was.

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Who would be so heartless as to harm a child?

Sun Hongying was also stunned. Her son hadn't been beaten to death by her; he had been poisoned.

Who, who did it, and when?

……

The man who had just brought the educated youth back to the village was taken away by officers from the local police station who arrived by car.

The whole village was in an uproar.

The village officials all acted as if their parents had died, and the villagers were all furious.

If someone in the village commits a crime, it will affect the collective.

The man's name is Du Shuiyou, and he is an ordinary villager in Sanxiang Village.

Today, a comrade from the commune had an emergency at home and was unable to pick up the educated youth who had gone to the countryside, so he asked Du Shuiyou, whom he knew, to help pick them up.

Little did they know that this act of receiving the call would lead to disaster.

The Du family did not believe that their son, Du Shuiyou, would commit a crime. After Du Shuiyou was taken away, the brothers went to the train station to inquire about what had happened there that day.

The reason they knew the incident happened at the train station was because when the police officers came to take them away, they said: "Comrade Du Shuiyou, please come back with us and tell us in detail what happened at the train station."

Upon hearing that it was because of the train station incident, Du Shuiyou dared not hide anything and recounted everything in detail.

While questioning Du Shuiyou, officers from the local police station also questioned other parties involved, and the statements they obtained were exactly the same.

These people don't know each other, have no business dealings with each other, and their testimonies are consistent, so there's only one possibility: that's the truth.

Everyone else brought back from the train station was released, but Du Shuiyou still needs further investigation.

After investigating and finding that Du Shuiyou had no connection with Sun Hongying, they released him.

Not only were people who had been in contact with or were near the little boy at the D City train station investigated, but everyone in carriage number 6, where Sun Hongying and her son were, was also investigated one by one.

Everyone on the train at the time, except for the child who was run over by the deceased, had been questioned.

"Captain, a child shouldn't be the murderer. There's no need to continue the search. It's very likely that the little boy wasn't poisoned at our city's train station at all."

A police officer in D city said this.
