So he spoke loudly:

"Everyone, come and see! Last night, this waiter poisoned our food. This food is the evidence. Afterwards, we were taken to a dilapidated temple by the men in black..."

Zhu Yunwen earnestly recounted everything that had happened the previous night to everyone around him.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of disbelief, followed by immense anger.

Especially the people staying at this hotel, particularly the female guests, all started causing trouble and making a ruckus.

Soon the shopkeeper came out. After hearing what had happened, he looked at the waiter in disbelief.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen knew in his heart that the shopkeeper was definitely not involved in this matter.

Because he wasn't short of money, and the largest inn in the area provided him with a high income, there was no need for him to worry about the few dozen taels of silver he received, or even less.

He knew that taking such a risk meant that if he were exposed, not only would the shop be destroyed and he would be unable to do business again, but he might even face the risk of being beheaded.

Therefore, someone like the shopkeeper, who is already successful in his career, would not care about this amount of money and would never take the risk for such a small sum.

Therefore, after the shopkeeper learned the truth, he immediately glared at the waiter and scolded him:

Is this true?

The waiter's face was pale at this moment. He had actually been thinking about this for a while, especially his conversation with Zhu Yunwen, which made him realize a problem.

Once Zhu Yunwen catches him, things will become very interesting.

Whether the waiter admits it or insists it didn't happen, his fate is almost always the same: death.

Only death could make this matter mysterious and bizarre, and the whole thing was created by the behind-the-scenes bosses and the government as a terrifying supernatural event.

Therefore, the more people die in this paranormal event and the more terrifying their deaths are, the more it indicates that the event has a high degree of paranormal element.

So even if the waiter insists that there was no such thing and that it was a supernatural event, he might still die a more gruesome death because of it.

Because this fits the paranormal phenomenon he described.

So after his conversation with Zhu Yunwen, he thought that perhaps admitting the truth would actually increase his chances of survival.

So he nodded in agreement and then confessed everything, including how the mastermind had hired some people to dress up as ghosts, and how they had drugged some young girls to create all sorts of eerie and bizarre events.

This included the involvement of government officials.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper angrily said to the waiter:

"I was wondering why some of my female customers would mysteriously disappear from time to time. I really thought it was the work of ghosts and evil spirits."

So it was you, you traitorous scoundrel, who colluded with those outsiders to play tricks and attack customers? You deserve to die!

The waiter, his head bowed in fear, endured the insults around him. Then he glanced at Zhu Yunwen. He didn't want to admit it, but the man in front of him was too terrifying.

If he didn't admit it, he didn't know what methods this man would use to deal with him.

He might even confess his crimes in public again in just a few words. So why not just be honest and admit it, even if it means being insulted?

Zhu Yunwen then took out the candle laced with sleeping potion and the dish of food, showed them to everyone, and casually said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is extraordinary, and countless women have suffered as a result. Even those of you here, being in this shop, are already in danger."

This concerns each and every one of us, and even the women in each of our families. Therefore, this matter cannot be taken lightly. So, come with me to the government office to seek justice and see how the authorities will handle this matter.

Today, we will reveal the complete truth behind this so-called bizarre incident in Nanjiang County.

The crowd around them was quickly stirred up by Zhu Yunwen's few words, and they were indeed very angry.

I had always thought it was a strange, supernatural event, but now the waiter has clarified the whole thing truthfully.

Then things got interesting. Soon, everyone in the shop, along with Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu, took the waiter, the poisoned dishes, and the candles laced with sleeping pills, and headed towards the government office.

Along the way, they would shout from time to time, and then more people would join in to ask what was going on, and then the news would spread like wildfire.

The people in most of Nanjiang County knew about it.

Sometimes, once one person raises a doubt about something, everyone will start to doubt it, especially if the matter has a certain degree of plausibility.

Therefore, after hearing Zhu Yunwen's story, everyone firmly believed that this matter was man-made.

There are no demons or monsters involved; in other words, they believe the whole thing was man-made.

Because if it's something human, this problem can be solved. But if it's something demonic or supernatural, then there's really no way to solve it.

Since there's no way to solve it, everyone is forced to live in fear, which is not what anyone wants.
