Chai Yan turned to look at Zhang Xuechao's wife and said, "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, I think I may have found the cause of your husband's death."
Zhang Xuechao's wife was immediately shocked by Chai Yan's words and did not speak for a long time.
Jimo Qiao was also surprised and asked: "Is it true? What was the cause of death?"
Zhang Xuechao's wife finally came to her senses and asked hurriedly: "Exian, please tell me, what was the cause of my husband's death?"
Chai Yan pointed at the bats hovering above and said, "That's them!"
"Bat?" Jimo Qiao and Zhang Xuechao's wife called out in unison.
Chai Yan nodded and said very seriously: "If what I said is correct, it should be that the urine of the bat fell into your husband's tea cup, and then he drank the tea without knowing it, which led to
die!"
"Wait a minute, senior brother..." Jimo Qiao suddenly interrupted and asked seriously: "You mean, it was the bat's urine that poisoned him?"
Chai Yan nodded very solemnly and said: "It should be."
"Is bat urine so poisonous?" Jimo Qiao asked.
Chai Yan said: "The urine of bats contains cyanide, which is very toxic! As long as you don't take it, it won't have much impact on people!"
"Cyanide?" Jimo Qiao didn't understand the word.
Chai Yan said: "It's a kind of toxin, the kind that can kill people."
Zhang Xuechao's wife was horrified and asked hurriedly: "Exian, what is the basis for you to say that?"
Chai Yan pointed at the fish tank and said, "This is it!"
Then, Chai Yan said: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you just said that it is difficult for your husband to make a living raising fish in the past few years. Do you know why? It is because of these bats that they will come out of hibernation when the weather is warm.
If it becomes active, it is likely that the bat excreted urine during flight and then landed in your fish tank. The goldfish in the tank will not live long."
Zhang Xuechao's wife couldn't believe it. She looked at the bats flying above her head and said, "But, immortal, don't bats mean auspiciousness? How could...how could this happen?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "The bat represents auspiciousness just because of its name and its upside-down shape, but the reality is not like this. There are at least more than a hundred kinds of viruses in bats, and most of the viruses are fatal, so
The horror is far beyond our imagination!”
Zhang Xuechao's wife was so frightened that she quickly shrank her neck and looked at the flying bats in the sky with fear.
Jimo Qiao also became frightened and asked quickly: "Brother, why did the bat choose this place?"
Chai Yan explained: "Because bats like secluded and dark places, once they form a habit, they will stay there forever, and this backyard happens to be cool and secluded. The bats take advantage of this, so when the weather is hot, they will stay
Come and hover here and stay.”
Zhang Xuechao's wife asked: "But, Chief Immortal, in our town of Fuyuan, bats can be seen in many people's homes. Why is it that my husband is the only one who was poisoned to death?"
Chai Yan said: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you just said that people in this town have been poisoned to death for no apparent reason in recent years. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that they were poisoned to death by bat urine. It just happened.
The probability of this happening is very small, so no one notices it.”
Jimo Qiao thought so. The bat kept flying around and suddenly dropped its urine. It was accidental that it fell into such a small tea cup, so it was reasonable that it would not be noticed.
Chai Yan said: "Also, fortunately, your husband only raises ordinary goldfish that are inedible. If he raises other fish, if the fish is poisoned by bat urine and dies, and you are reluctant to throw it away and cook it, the consequences may be even worse.
serious!"
"Yes, yes, fortunately it is like this, otherwise it would be terrible." Jimo Qiao said happily.
Zhang Xuechao's wife said: "Chief Immortal, even if you say so, even if I believe it, but my mother, our neighbors, and the people from the government office, can they believe it?"
Chai Yan said very seriously: "This is not difficult. You can invite the li chief or the yamen's catcher over now. Later, let them catch a bat by themselves, and then find a chicken, duck or fish to try the bat urine."
You will know the toxicity.”
Zhang Xuechao's wife immediately said: "Chief Immortal, our village chief lives in the next street. I can invite him over now."
Chai Yan nodded and said, "That's best."
"Then I'll go now." After Zhang Xuechao's wife said this, she couldn't wait to run to the front yard.
Jimo Qiao asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, what if it's not a problem with the bat?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "Impossible, I can't think of any other reason besides this."
Chai Yan believes that the poisonous water in the fish tank is the best proof. Who poured the poison into the fish tank?
-----------------------
After a stick of incense was burned, the chief of Fuyuan Town was invited to the Zhang family, along with two servants from the chief's family and the innkeeper who had been waiting outside.
After Chai Yan explained the cause of Zhang Xuechao's death to the chief, the chief was a little hesitant at first, but after much hesitation he decided to verify it, because Zhang Xuechao was not the only one in Fuyuan Town who had been poisoned to death for no apparent reason over the years.
The murderer and the reason have not yet been found.
"You two, go and catch a bat quickly!" the chief shouted loudly.
Although the two servants of the chief were a little scared, they were more afraid of the chief's punishment, so they prepared to go to the backyard to catch bats.
"Wait a minute!" Chai Yan suddenly shouted.
The chief then asked, "What's the matter, Immortal Chief?"
Chai Yan reminded: "You two, when you catch bats, you must be careful not to touch the bat's teeth and claws, because they contain a lot of viruses. If you are not careful, you can easily carry the virus and even infect others.
."
After hearing this, the head of the village borrowed some strips of cloth from the Zhang family and asked the servant to wrap his palms and fingers tightly.
It only took about a quarter of an hour to catch the bat. The two servants found a butterfly net from nowhere and actually caught a quite large bat.
Next, the chief found a live chicken, squeezed out the bat's urine in front of everyone, and forced it into the live chicken's mouth.
It didn’t take long for the live chicken to become wilted and droopy...
After a while, the live chicken fell to the ground in the yard and turned into a dead chicken.
At this moment, in addition to Chai Yan, the innkeeper and the two Zhang family members, as well as the mayor and the two servants, all had looks of horror on their faces.
Everyone was stunned. None of them had thought that the bat, which was considered a symbol of good fortune in the past, was actually the culprit who killed the townspeople!
