The woman wearing the flowered scarf looked at the little girl in front of her and thought that she was still inexperienced. She was indeed very gullible.
“Why don’t you pay me 150,000 yuan? That’s my husband’s life! If he’s gone, how am I going to live the rest of my life? You have to pay!”
Hearing the question of money, the woman with the flowery scarf stopped crying and started to sell herself out. She was very emotional and started to clamor for 150,000 yuan as compensation.
“Wait a minute, the prerequisite for me to give you money is this matter. We are really responsible for it. However, your husband’s sudden death might not be because he ate our family’s medicine. There might be other circumstances, such as his illness getting worse, or he might have been bitten by some poisonous mosquitoes?!”
Yun Xi thought of some possibilities and then looked at the surrounding crowd.
These audience members had always been on the fence. They would stand on the side of whoever said what was reasonable.
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s very likely that he was bitten by some poisonous mosquitoes. My child was bitten when he was young and almost lost his life because of a high fever. His family might be like that too. We can’t blame the shop entirely.”
“That’s right, that’s right. The shop owner’s words make sense!”
“…”
The crowd began to chatter in favor of the medicine shop. Some people who were not strong-willed even took out the medicine list in their arms and went to the staff to continue getting the medicine as if nothing had happened.
“Impossible, it’s definitely not like what you said. Before I left home, I had already cleaned up for my husband. I didn’t find any traces of mosquito bites on him.”
The woman with the flowery scarf was getting more and more agitated and quickly denied that such a thing had happened.
“Then may I ask when your husband passed away?” Yun Xi continued to ask.
“It was this morning when I discovered that something was wrong with him. By noon, he had already passed away. That was why I came to this shop to demand an explanation from you.”
The woman with the flowery scarf had spoken so eloquently that no one could find any evidence to refute her.
“So that’s how it is!”
Yun Xi nodded and was silent for a while. Then, she walked around the woman with the flowery scarf twice.
Yun Xi’s calm demeanor made the woman with the flowery scarf feel extremely pressured. Her heart was already starting to panic.
“You said that you only found out that your husband had passed away at noon and rushed to our shop. I’m guessing that you haven’t had the time to deal with your deceased husband’s corpse yet.”
Yun Xi glanced at Jing Yu, acting as if she was the one to handle this matter.
“Then we can definitely call the police and let them handle this matter. Perhaps you don’t know, but in the police station, there aren’t only police officers who catch bad guys. There’s also a profession called a forensic pathologist.”
“They are just like doctors. They can diagnose the patient’s condition. At the same time, they’re better at understanding the condition of the body. As long as the autopsy is performed by a forensic pathologist, the method of death of a deceased person can be found out. Why don’t we go to the police station and ask the forensic pathologist to help determine who is responsible for this matter?”
There was indeed a forensic pathologist profession, but the forensic profession was not widespread in the 1980s. Yun Xi was actually not sure if the police station in this small county would have a group of forensic pathologists.
The woman wearing the scarf did not seem to be very smart either. Yun Xi only used a few words to scare her.
She was a liar to begin with. Not to mention that this incident was the pharmacy’s fault, even her dead husband was fabricated out of thin air.
“That’s right. We have to trust the police. Go to the police and hand your husband’s body over to the so-called forensic pathologist that the boss mentioned. When the time comes, we will see who is right and who is wrong. Don’t worry, if it’s the pharmacy’s fault, we will support you to the end.”
Some of the more righteous customers had already started shouting, asking the woman with the flowered scarf to send her husband to the police station.
“I… I… I’ll… I’ll be back…”
The woman with the flowered scarf could only escape. Yun Xi and Jing Yu stared at her back with a hint of disgust in their eyes. However, in a split second, the two of them saw Wang Wu’s figure in the crowd at almost the same time.
It seemed that the Wang family was behind this matter. It seemed that the incident of the medical disturbance could not be let off so easily!
