The Cone Snail, also known as the Cone Snail, got its name because it looked like a chicken's heart or a taro. There were more than 70 different Cone Snails along the coast of China, and they were widely distributed. Although they weren't as famous as the blue-ringed octopus and the Monk's hat jellyfish, these deeply hidden poisonous creatures caused as much damage to humans every year.
The blue-ringed octopus and the Monk's hat jellyfish both had tentacles, and they were mollusks. They looked disgusting, and most people wouldn't take the initiative to touch them. However, the shell of the Cone Snail was very beautiful. It was like a beautiful piece of art lying on the beach, and people couldn't help but want to pick it up.
The Cone Snail's poison was very complicated, and every Cone Snail's poison was different. There was no special antidote serum.
The little boy's mother had never seen a Cone Snail before, but she had vaguely heard of this poisonous creature. She was almost paralyzed with fear. She snatched the lunch box containing the Cone Snails from the child's hands and checked both of the child's hands countless times. Only after confirming that there were no wounds did she let out a sigh of relief.
Still in a state of shock, she questioned the child sternly and asked where these creatures were bought from.
The little boy was also scared silly. He stuttered and said that he bought them from the fish market.
Therefore, she took the evidence and led her child over aggressively. As soon as she saw Jiang Feifei, she scolded Jiang Feifei harshly.
The scolding attracted many onlookers. After everyone understood the whole story, they all criticized Jiang Feifei for what she had done.
Jiang Feifei was sitting by the stall, reading and revising. She was stunned by the sudden disaster and couldn't talk back. She also couldn't talk back. The truth was right in front of her, and she couldn't deny it.
She knew that her careless mistake had almost caused a terrible disaster. She regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself a few times.
Now that things had come to this, she didn't have any other hopes. No matter what, she just wanted to beg the middle-aged woman not to call the police. Otherwise, she would really be done for. If the school found out, she would be punished at the very least, or expelled from school. How could she face her parents and family who had spent money to send her to university?
After understanding the whole story, the netizens were also terrified. They lamented that not everyone could participate in a wild harvest. It was one thing to go out and randomly pick up a Cone Snail and bring it back to harm oneself, but what if it harmed others as well? Wouldn't that be manslaughter? It was better to stay in the city for the weekend and meet up.
Snowy sympathized with Jiang Feifei's experience, but this matter was not easy to solve. The middle-aged woman was extremely angry and would not be easily persuaded.
The onlookers were the same. Logically speaking, they supported the middle-aged woman's rights, but emotionally speaking, they were biased towards Jiang Feifei. They sighed and lamented that she had taken a wrong step and was doomed.
Logically speaking, if Jiang Feifei had unintentionally sold the Conch to the little boy, even if the police came, they would probably just criticize and educate her. However, the middle-aged woman insisted that Jiang Feifei had done it on purpose. She knew that it was a Conch, yet she still sold it to a customer. This was a completely different matter.
The key was whether Jiang Feifei could prove that she did not do it on purpose.
Everyone knew that it was almost impossible, because only Little Boy and Jiang Feifei were present at the time. Little Boy's testimony probably did not have much credibility, and he himself had forgotten what he had said at the time.
Everyone looked at Jiang Feifei sympathetically, but there was nothing they could do.
One or two experienced people quietly gave Jiang Feifei a look, meaning to ask her to take out more money. Spending money to get rid of the disaster would be like spending money to buy a lesson.
However, Jiang Feifei did not have any extra money. If she had money, she would not have come out for a wild harvest when her classmates were all sleeping in.
Seeing that the middle-aged woman was about to press the dial button, Zhang Zian moved a few steps closer to her and looked into the lunch box.
The lunch box was half filled with clear water, and a beautiful conch was submerged in the water.
Its shell was streamlined, wide at one end, and gradually narrowing at a smooth angle at the other end. The surface, which emitted a glossy enamel, was evenly distributed with quicksand-like spots. It was quite beautiful.
The most eye-catching thing was that it would occasionally spit out a light pink tentacle-like thing from the mouth of the conch, as if it was testing the surroundings for any movement.
It was its shape and the tentacle-like thing that made everyone think that it was a dangerous Conch.
The middle-aged woman was still scolding Jiang Feifei endlessly, and the onlookers and netizens all had their own opinions.
"Cough! Can I just say something? "
Zhang Zian coughed.
He had not spoken since he stood to the side, so the people present almost ignored him.
Hearing that, the middle-aged woman looked at him suspiciously. "What are you doing? I'm telling you, no one can persuade me today. I'm going to call the police! "
Jiang Feifei's heart gave birth to a glimmer of hope. She hoped that Zhang Zian could persuade the other party not to call the police.
Snowy was the same. She knew that Zhang Zian would not easily get involved in this situation. Once he got involved, he would definitely get something.
"This … big sister."
He pondered for a long time on how to address her, but in the end, he followed the others and called her big sister. In fact, he should have called her auntie, but to avoid adding fuel to the fire, he decided to put up with it!
"If you want to call the police, that's fine. I won't stop you, but I think it's best if you don't call the police, because when the police come, I'm afraid you'll be the one who gets criticized and educated," he said with a hidden meaning.
The middle-aged woman suddenly raised her guard. She thought that Zhang Zian had some special relationship with the police. "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of anyone who comes today! I'll be criticized? Why should I be criticized? She's obviously in the wrong! "
She pointed at Jiang Feifei's face. Her fingertips were almost touching her forehead.
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "You want to call the police because she sold Cone Snails to your son, right? But the one you're holding is not a Cone Snail. Even if you call the police, the police uncle will come in vain! If you don't get criticized, who will? "
"What?"
The unexpected turn of events stunned everyone present.
"Mr. Store Manager, isn't this a Cone Snail?" Snowy asked in surprise.
The middle-aged woman pulled a long face. She had an expression that said, "I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me." She questioned in a very angry tone, "You're in cahoots with this girl, right? Don't lie to me here! Did you collude with each other to cheat people? How much money did she give you? My relative told me clearly that this is a type of cone snail. It's called Cone Snail. I remember it clearly! "
Zhang Zian flatly denied it. "I don't know her, so of course, we're not in cahoots. I'm not speaking on her side. I just happened to meet her, and I can't bear to see her being wronged, so I said a few words of justice. In my opinion, your relative's level is also second-rate. Although this thing looks a bit like a Cone Snail, it's actually an Oliva emicator. It's not poisonous. "
