"What did you do? Don't you know it in your heart? As the saying goes, a life for a life, but we have killed so many people, how can your two lives be enough!"
After hearing this, the boss and his wife finally understood what had happened. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes. They never expected that someone had died.
The boss immediately stepped forward, shook his head and spoke.
"When did the person die? How come we don't know anything about this? Can you explain this to us?"
The proprietress was so scared that tears came out of her eyes, and she also echoed the words.
Chapter 469 Tell the Truth
After all, they had no idea what was happening before this.
Now these people suddenly appear and say that someone has died. How can they possibly know what happened?
Now even the boss and his wife looked as if they had no idea what was going on, and the people in Baiqiao Village also had some confusion on their faces.
They looked at each other, but still a little bit unbelievable.
No matter what, they would not easily trust these two people under such circumstances.
So at this moment one of them raised his hand again and slammed the table heavily, looking ferocious as he began to question.
"Why are you pretending! If it wasn't you who did it, who else would do such a thing?"
The shop owner was so frightened that he stood there for a moment, then he hurriedly raised his hand and waved it and spoke.
"I really don't know what happened. Besides, I have no grudge against you. Why would I do this to you? This will not benefit me at all."
After hearing this, the people from Baiqiao Village felt that what they said made sense. They were just passing by here, asked for a place to stay, and gave him some money.
But there is no connection or previous hatred between them at all.
In this case, there is no need for the boss to treat them like this, as it will only get himself into trouble.
Seeing that they didn't speak, the boss shrugged helplessly and spoke.
"Besides, we have been here the whole time and have never gone out. How could we possibly do such a cruel thing to your people?"
But who knew that one of them seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stared at the boss viciously and spoke.
"What if you want to rob us, or kill us, and then take away everything we brought?"
Upon hearing this, the boss was naturally even more helpless. He immediately raised his hand and spoke.
"But you just said it clearly. I need to kill all of you before I can attack your property. But many of you can still stand here now."
Even if he had a point, he couldn't explain it clearly. He didn't do it in the first place, and there was no way he would admit it so easily.
After hearing the boss's rebuttal, they felt that the boss's rebuttal was indeed very correct.
At this moment they really didn't know what to do.
The faces of several people were very bad, and for a moment they didn't know how to question others.
Seeing that both sides were in a rather tangled situation, Zhang Qihai stepped forward and began to speak carefully.
"Some people did die in our room just now, and they died inexplicably. We are definitely a little excited, and now we want to know the truth about the matter from you."
After hearing this, the boss and his wife finally understood what they had discovered. It turned out that someone really had died.
But they kept shaking their heads and had no idea about this matter.
"We really don't know how this could happen, and we haven't done anything yet, so we don't understand anything at all."
The proprietress standing by was almost in tears. She had never expected that such a thing would happen when she was just casually entertaining this person.
At this moment she shook her head and spoke in a hurry.
"Yes, we are just doing some small business, and before you came, we didn't even think about entertaining guests, because this place is very remote and it is impossible for anyone to pass by normally."
If they had been running a store like this here all along, then it might make sense what they wanted to do, but the current situation is not like that at all.
Ever since this place became deserted, they have never opened these shops again, but just live in a place like this.
This time it was just by chance that they came here and lived here.
The people from Baiqiao Village nearby really didn’t know what to say. They felt that the couple didn’t seem to be lying.
But at the moment they really don’t know who else could have done it if it really wasn’t them?
After all, all this really surprised them and they had no idea how it happened.
Then Zhang Qihai spoke.
"You cooked the dish for me and then had someone serve it to me. Didn't you notice something wrong with the dish before that?"
Everyone's eyes were on the two people, and they really wanted to know more about this.
This is because I have no way to ask, and I am in a very nervous state, so I want to take this opportunity to calm myself down a little.
After listening to them, the boss tilted his head slightly and carefully recalled what had happened at that time.
Then he spoke with a serious face.
"My wife and I prepared the food together. We grew the vegetables ourselves on the hill behind us. There was no way anything could have happened because we ate them ourselves."
After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and pointed at the empty bowls next to him.
After seeing this scene, everyone naturally looked in the direction he pointed. After a closer look, they found that there were indeed a few plates of food over there, and there seemed to be some oil stains on them.
Probably just finished eating.
The proprietress also nodded immediately.
"It is because we are in such a deep forest that there is no possibility of anyone passing by, so we grow our own vegetables for ourselves to eat. We also ate what you just ate."
After seeing those dishes, everyone felt that what they said was true.
But now he still doesn't quite understand it.
After Zhang Qihai saw the dish, he nodded slightly and spoke.
"okay, I get it."
Qi Tiezui at the side couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his chin, and spoke with some curiosity.
"I remember that you were not the ones who brought it to us. Did anyone else touch it after you cooked the dish?"
Upon hearing this, the boss and his wife naturally would not hide anything, so they nodded immediately.
"It was indeed sent to you by someone else."
Chapter 470: You know a person’s face but not his heart
When a light flashed in the eyes of these people from Baiqiao Village, he immediately spoke again.
"But these people are your own people. How could your own people do anything to you?"
As soon as they heard this, the expectations in everyone's hearts disappeared again. Yes, if this was really the case, then they really had no solution at the moment.
Afterwards, Zhang Qihai could only turn around and watch the people from Baiqiao Village shrug helplessly.
"Let's go out now."
Although they didn't know why Zhang Qihai asked everyone to go out together, they had to stay here now and there was really no way to solve the problem. In the end, they could only nod and say.
"Alright alright."
The boss spoke again before they left.
"I really don't know what's going on here, but no matter what, I will definitely cooperate with you. I will tell you as long as I know."
The proprietress beside her immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we have told you all the information we know."
It was impossible for them to stay here forever, so they nodded and left immediately.
After waiting for them to arrive in the lobby, the people from Baiqiao Village raised their hands and scratched the back of their heads, not knowing what was going on.
"Looking at the way they are doing, they are not lying. Besides, they ate it themselves."
After one of them said this, the people around him immediately nodded.
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Besides, they have no reason to treat us like this. It doesn't do them any good at all."
But the more this happened, the more confused they became.
After all, I originally thought that it was all they did, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.
Then Zhang Qihai spoke to them seriously.
"This matter is indeed not as simple as we imagined, but no matter what, I hope everyone will not be too scared."
But things have come to this point, how could they not be afraid?
Those people shook their heads, their faces full of horror.
"If we're not more careful, I might be the next one to die."
"Yes, this kind of thing could happen at any time. We really want to find out who did this. Otherwise, we will be worried all the way."
Zhang Qihai could also understand everything they said.
But he can't trust anyone easily now.
Now it’s only because all their friends have died of poisoning that the people of Baiqiao Village are so close to them.
But if not, perhaps they still look down on them.
And who knows what these people in Baiqiao Village are thinking.
"Anyway, we can't come up with a plan right now, so why don't we take a break and then set off quickly."
If they stay here any longer, their fear will grow bigger and bigger.
Everyone thought about it carefully and realized that there was really no other way except this one. They could only nod and return to their rooms.
Everyone returned to their own rooms. The Han people who had been waiting in the room were getting impatient. After seeing them come back, they asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Did you find out anything?"
