Although the sheriff's interrogation skills were very skillful, it was obvious that the effect was not very ideal.
She stood outside the courtyard and watched the sheriff come and leave with a dark face.
As the door closed, she felt that they were like a group of senseless poisonous insects, locked in a small world, forced to fight continuously.
Either he would become the final victor, or he would be silently devoured by others.
It was like refining a poisonous insect.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, and a meaningful smile hung at the corner of her mouth.
After the innkeeper returned from Boss Yang's place, he changed his previous dispirited look, and the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes showed a smile that could not be concealed.
She asked Cai Ru to inquire about it. It turned out that Boss Yang was generous and offered to buy this shop. Moreover, he offered to buy it at double the original price.
The innkeeper naturally felt that it was a good deal.
Moreover, this shop was also rented by him. This was the rule of Immortal City, anyone who opened a shop could only rely on renting, and the rent was very expensive.
This time, not only could he break even, but he might also be able to make a small profit.
The innkeeper was naturally very grateful to Boss Yang, and almost worshipped him like a statue of God.
But after Lin Mengya heard the news, she felt that this matter was not so simple.
Opening a guest house in Immortal City was definitely a profitable business.
But there was a difference between a small profit and a big profit.
Under the rigid rules of the manager of Immortal City, the profit was actually very small.
To make matters worse, Immortal City would never allow anyone to break the contract.
In other words, whether the person was dead or alive, he must endure until the day the contract was terminated.
This time, a lot of people were cheated.
If everything went smoothly during this period, it could be considered lucky.
They were afraid that something would happen in the middle, and then they would lose both the person and the money.
That was why the owner of the guest house was so anxious.
As for that Boss Yang, since he was a businessman, he would definitely not do such a loss-making business.
There must be something in this that they were not clear about.
In the case of two people dying in a row, the people in the guest house were in a panic.
Everyone was holed up in their own rooms, and even the food and drinks were taken by themselves.
Trust had become a luxury that everyone was stingy with.
However, Lin Mengya and her companions were the least affected.
That was because they all knew that their comrades would never betray them.
For the rest of the day, they stayed in their rooms. Only in the evening did they come out for some fresh air.
As the most suspicious person, she felt a few piercing gazes as soon as she came out.
"In my opinion, the real murderer should come out and confess as soon as possible, so as not to waste everyone's time."
The one who spoke was a merchant group with a more powerful family background.
Of course, they were not direct descendants. They were just relatives.
But relying on the power of the main family, in this guest house, he had quite a bit of authority.
Lin Mengya looked at him. He was a skinny middle-aged man. He glared at her impatiently.
"I think it's all the work of the Gong Family's Patriarch. Women should stay at home. Coming out will only cause trouble!"
According to the "troublemaker" herself, she had been implicated everywhere.
But other people
Since he had already said so, she couldn't not express her feelings.
She said, "What she does, that's her business. If men were so useful, I wouldn't have to be exposed to the wind and rain every day. Isn't it because men are too incompetent that women come out to do things? "
Her words slapped a lot of men in the face.
The skinny man was instantly annoyed. He pointed at her and scolded, "No matter how you quibble, this happened because of you! Let's not talk about how Wang Dagui died, let's talk about Sun Biao. He was just joking with you. Why did you have to kill him? "
It was obvious that he was trying to pin the crime on her.
Lin Mengya glanced at him coldly. "Haven't you heard of a saying? A woman's heart is the most vicious. If I really did it, I can guarantee that he will die a more miserable death. "
Seeing that she was so stubborn, the man began to incite others.
"Did you all hear that? This was what she had said herself! She is so narrow-minded. She must have killed him! "
But there were not many fools in the group.
There were a few who agreed, but in the end, there were no more voices.
The skinny man looked at her and suddenly grabbed her. He shouted, "Tie her up! Otherwise, we will be the ones dying tonight! "
Cai Ru pushed him away, and the men surrounded them in the middle.
Seeing that it was not going to work, the man immediately raised his voice and said, "Have you all forgotten? Wang Dagui and Sun Biao were killed because they had a disagreement with her! Even if she didn't do it herself, the person behind the scenes must have something to do with her. I'm going all out today for everyone! "
When it was a matter of life and death, everyone stopped pretending to be deaf and mute.
They slowly surrounded her, and their gazes fell on her.
The men also became nervous.
At this critical moment, they were not afraid to expose their martial arts. But they were worried that it would ruin their master's plan.
Lin Mengya frowned and said, "What do you want?"
A young man who looked very upright walked out from the crowd.
He cupped his hands at Lin Mengya and said, "Miss, I believe you are innocent. However, Shopkeeper Hou's words made sense. Why don't you let us tie you up to prove your innocence? If there are more victims after tonight, it will prove that you have nothing to do with this matter. "
She glanced at the people around her and realized that almost everyone had the same mentality.
Cai Ru protected her, and so did the men.
But the eyes of the group of people outside were shining with determination and madness.
They were afraid of death, so they had to catch the villain.
Therefore, Lin Mengya, the innocent victim, became the target of their collective desire to get rid of her.
As for whether she was innocent or not, it was not within their consideration.
The selfish side of human nature was on full display at this moment.
Lin Mengya was furious, but she did not flare up. Instead, she looked at the skinny man and the young man and said, "I can be tied up by you, but I want to spend the night in the courtyard. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, I'm sure everyone can clearly see what I'm doing, right? "
Didn't they want her to prove her innocence?
In that case, she was going to prove it to them so that they would understand how foolish it was to do so.
In the crowd, the skinny middle-aged man and the young man secretly exchanged a look. Their eyes were full of coldness.
The skinny man provided the rope, but the young man tied the knot.
When one was tied up, it was very uncomfortable.
It was uncomfortable.
Always maintaining the same position would cause the blood to concentrate in one part. First, it would be sore, then it would be numb.
"Master, these people are so disrespectful to you. How can you …"
Cai Ru fed her a mouthful of water, feeling sorry for her. At the same time, the men were also driven out.
Not far away, there were people watching them in shifts.
Although her limbs were tight, she was still calm. She closed her eyes and said, "Even if I find a way to get rid of them the first time, they will find other ways to make me give in. Instead of that, I might as well let them have their way first. "
The two men had already grasped the hearts of the people.
They were afraid of death, so when someone jumped out and said a solution that might solve all the current difficulties, these people would blindly respond.
And because she was different from before, coupled with the sheriff's unintentional targeting, she became the target of public criticism.
However, they would soon understand that it was also futile to do so.
Just when she was bored and wanted to go to the system to flip through the books, her ears suddenly caught a slight movement.
"Shh …"
Cai Ru and the men immediately fell silent, and the people who were watching them not far away also did not say a word because they were nervous.
Lin Mengya could hear all the sounds.
Then, she peeled off the rest of the noise bit by bit, and finally got what she wanted.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her ears did not stop listening for a moment, listening to the sound coming from there.
After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Master?"
Cai Ru asked in a low voice. Lin Mengya's lips moved, and she told her something.
"Someone is digging in the backyard."
It was the sound of a shovel hitting a stone. It was already very subtle. If it weren't for her extraordinary hearing, she would have definitely ignored it.
Even so, the sound was not regular, and the movement was getting smaller and smaller.
It seemed that the person who did it had already noticed the stone in the ground, so he deliberately avoided it.
She heard until the end, but there was no other movement.
No wonder they wanted to draw her out to attract attention. It turned out that their purpose was here.
It was quiet around her, and she sat quietly on the quilt that Cai Ru brought.
If nothing unexpected happened, no one would die tonight.
Because if something really happened, she would be cleared of suspicion.
This might not be a good thing for the people behind the scenes.
However, things had obviously gone beyond her expectations.
In the early morning of the next day, someone screamed again.
"Help! Something happened to our shopkeeper! "
Lin Mengya and Cai Ru were frightened.
The latter immediately took out a small knife and cut the rope on Lin Mengya's body.
The person in charge of guarding saw it, but did not dare to say anything. He could only ask his companions to keep an eye on Lin Mengya and rushed to the scene of the crime.
Because it was inconvenient for Lin Mengya to move, she stayed where she was with her men.
Not long after, the skinny man and the young man walked to the front yard with their men in an aggressive manner.
Before they could speak, Cai Ru sneered, "My mistress has been tied up by you all night, and now her hands and feet are numb. What are you up to again? Are you trying to frame my mistress? "
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone saw the dark red strangulation marks on her wrists.
