Something bad has happened, the whole village is poisoned!

Having eaten it for decades, he instinctively believed it must be safe.

But often, what seems least likely is where the truth is hidden.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and quickly asked, "When the cats and dogs were still alive, did you feed them fish every day?"

Second Uncle nodded upon hearing this, replying with confusion, "Of course, cats and dogs both love to eat fish, and we only had fish to give them."

Having received the answer, Lin Yuan continued to ask, "What about later? After the cats and dogs died, did you also feed the poultry fish?"

"This…" At this, Second Uncle also seemed to realize something was wrong and slowly nodded, "That's right, it would have been a waste to throw away the leftover fish, so we just gave it to the poultry to eat."

"It really is like that!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, "It seems the strange occurrences in your village are most likely related to fish."

"Huh?" Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

They had expected Lin Yuan to come up with some profound conclusion.

But it ended up being about fish?

How could that be!

However, after the recent questioning, Second Uncle gradually understood a little and took the initiative to ask, "Cats, dogs, poultry, and people all ate fish, but rats didn't get any. Hiss~~~ Could it really be that the fish are poisonous?"

"Popularity" +1+1+1+1

"Popularity" +1+1+1+1

"Oh my, this is a bit of a paradigm shift for me. Poisonous fish? By the way, weren't you here to play the suona for a funeral? How did it turn into a detective case? And you came up with such a bizarre answer. I feel like my brain isn't big enough."

"Don't say that too soon, it's really possible. Fish seems to be their commonality. If it really was caused by poisoning, then it could only be the fish."

"Don't speak too soon, this is just Lin Yuan's speculation, maybe they weren't poisoned at all?"

"No, what exactly is this guy doing? Isn't he supposed to be selling houses? Don't tell me you even understand medical chemistry?"

After Lin Yuan's analysis, the scene had already turned into a chaotic mess.

A funeral had inexplicably transformed into a bizarre incident.

Although Lin Yuan's explanation made a lot of sense, most people still thought this guess was too ridiculous.

They insisted that they were not poisoned at all, but rather it was caused by the Great Rat Immortal.

Lin Yuan looked at these people and smiled helplessly, then calmly looked at Second Uncle and said, "You can choose not to believe it, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces stiffened, and a look of terror instantly flashed in their eyes.

That's right!

Whether it was poisoning or not, what did it have to do with him?

He was just here to play the suona, and when he was done, he would pack up and leave.

Even if it was just a guess, the possibility was very, very small.

But...

What if?

What if it really was poisoning, and it was from the fish they had eaten for most of their lives?

If they continued to eat it, what would be the consequences?

Thinking of the tragic deaths of those cats and dogs earlier, everyone felt their hairs stand on end and cold sweat break out all over their bodies.

It was terrifying!

They would rather die immediately than endure such pain.

Thinking of this, the villagers' eyes immediately cleared up a lot.

They quickly laughed and apologized, "No, no, no, Master, don't be angry, we just have loose tongues, please don't take it to heart."

Second Uncle also hurried over and explained with a smile, "Master, you are a magnanimous person, don't bother with us old folks."

"I know you mean well, it's us who were a bit ungrateful."

After speaking, he quickly kicked the Client, signaling him to express his stance.

The Client also immediately reacted and said with a chuckle, "Yes, yes, yes! When things are done here, I'll go look at houses, and I'll definitely find you if I buy one then."

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, "This is just my guess, and it cannot be fully confirmed."

"If you trust me, then quickly call the Police, and let professional personnel come to test it."

Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at each other, undecided.

Finally, Second Uncle slammed the table and passionately declared, "Call the Police! What's there to hesitate about? If what Master said is true, have you considered the consequences? Although I'm almost 70, I still don't want to die."

After speaking, he directly pulled out his phone from his pocket, dialed 110 in front of everyone, and explained the situation in detail.

After the call ended, the atmosphere on site was a bit awkward. A perfectly good funeral had inexplicably turned into a bizarre incident due to the appearance of a large rat and the unbelievable possibilities it raised.

Due to the village being too remote, the Police probably wouldn't arrive for a while.

Fortunately, the chef's meals were almost ready.

The Client quickly arranged for everyone to sit down and eat.

Lin Yuan and the Photographer also got to enjoy a big meal.

An hour later, everyone who had just finished their meal suddenly heard the sound of police sirens.

Immediately after, someone at the entrance shouted, "The Police are here!"

Soon, three police cars and an ambulance appeared at the village entrance.

More than a dozen Police Comrades and medical personnel, carrying their tools, arrived at the small courtyard led by the villagers.

But when the leading police officer saw Lin Yuan, his face couldn't help but twitch.

He smiled bitterly in surprise, "Good heavens, how come I find you everywhere I go?"

Looking at Team Chen in front of him, Lin Yuan shrugged helplessly, "This time it has nothing to do with me~ I just came to help play the suona."

"What?" Hearing the words "play suona," Team Chen's eyes almost popped out, "You can play the suona too? Are you a monster or something?"

Second Uncle came over and asked curiously, "Police Comrade, do you two know each other?"

Team Chen smiled and nodded, "Don't tell me, he's here to sell houses in your village!"

"Ah? You even know that?"

Hearing this, Team Chen didn't answer, just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Two hours ago, Lin Yuan was still selling houses at an infertility Hospital.

Now, he's run off to the countryside to play the suona and sell houses.

If you say he's not doing his proper job, he's tirelessly promoting.

But if you say he's making great strides, he's selling houses by playing the suona!

Is this really a real estate agent?

Which real estate agent does things this way?

At this rate, who knows what even more outrageous things await him.

Amidst his emotions, Team Chen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and asked, "Who called the Police? Can you tell me the situation in detail?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan explained with a smile, "I didn't call the Police, but I told them to."

He then explained his earlier speculation in detail.

Team Chen's expression grew more and more serious, becoming deeper with each passing moment, until finally his face changed dramatically.

As a Police Comrade, he immediately ruled out any supernatural explanations.

When a village encounters such a situation, it is highly likely that they have experienced a large-scale poisoning incident.

It was fortunate that it was discovered early today. If Lin Yuan hadn't coincidentally come to this village to play the suona and discovered the anomaly...

Given the poisoning symptoms already present in the villagers, who knows what more serious problems would have arisen later.

Not to mention, the cats, dogs, and poultry in the village were all clear precedents.

Most importantly, if the source of the poisoning really was the fish, then that would be too terrifying!

Fish that had been eaten for generations were actually poisonous!

This completely overturned people's understanding!

Where did the fish come from?

Big Lake!

If the fish were truly poisonous, did that mean all the fish in the entire Big Lake were poisonous?

One must know that the villagers not only ate it themselves and fed it to animals.

But these were still only a small portion; most of the fish caught were sold to the market for the residents of West Sea City to eat.

Hiss~~

Thinking of this, Team Chen couldn't help but gasp!

He no longer dared to think further.

If that were true, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Fortunately, this time, he specifically called medical personnel and brought various testing equipment.

Team Chen quickly instructed the medical personnel to draw blood from the villagers on site for testing and analysis to confirm whether they were poisoned.

Now, the only thing he could do was pray that Lin Yuan's guess was wrong and that the villagers were not poisoned.

However, half an hour later, the results came out, and he was disappointed, even with a hint of despair!

Just as Lin Yuan had guessed, everyone in the village was poisoned without exception!

Mercury poisoning! Also known as quicksilver poisoning!

It is a silvery-white liquid metal that can evaporate at room temperature.

Mercury poisoning is mostly chronic, caused by long-term inhalation of mercury vapor and mercury compound dust.

Once a person is poisoned, it cannot be eliminated from the body, and as it accumulates over time, symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, memory loss, vivid dreams, and palpitations will appear.

As the condition progresses to a certain extent, it can even lead to limb tremors, intellectual decline, physical deformities, etc. In severe cases, it can be fatal, and there is no cure!

Once this result was confirmed, the scene erupted in an uproar!

Recalling the symptoms over the past six months, they seemed identical, and many people's faces instantly turned pale.

At this point, the villagers panicked, all scared to death. Thinking of the tragic deaths of the cats, dogs, and poultry, many of those with poor stress resistance cried out in distress on the spot.

They couldn't bear such consequences.

Some people were even so scared that they went crazy, screaming hysterically at the doctors, saying they had made a mistake and were lying.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"My family has lived here for three generations. If there really was poison, why were they fine? Why are we having problems?"

"Even if someone poisoned us, how could they do it so silently? Even if the fish really were poisonous, why weren't the fish poisoned to death? Instead, the animals and people who ate the fish suffered first?"

Hearing these questions, Lin Yuan sighed helplessly and explained, "First, regarding the first question, your ancestors for three generations ate fish and were fine, but your generation is having problems, which means the toxin is a recent issue."

"As for whether it was intentional poisoning, I don't know, the Police will give you the answer."

"But as for why animals died first and people later, I can explain that to you."

"Because whether it's cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, or geese, their body sizes are much smaller compared to humans, so they are more susceptible to the onset of poisoning. As for pigs, I can only say they ate too much."

"I told you before that when animals exhibit self-mutilation, it's most likely poisoning, leading to neurological disorders."

"Combining this with the toxins in your bodies, I can pretty much confirm that the other animals also committed suicide due to mercury poisoning, and it wasn't some so-called Great Rat Immortal!"
