"Sir, who are these people?"

Zhu Yunwen sneered and said:

"The authorities said yesterday that they had confirmed that the disappearance of this girl was the work of demons and monsters, but last night these four men in black rushed into our room, intending to kill me and take my wife away."

I'm going to go to the authorities and ask them what their explanation is. While I'm at it, I'll expose these people's identities and let them investigate thoroughly.

The innkeeper was also very angry. This kind of thing happened again and again in his inn, which had a very bad impact on his inn.

Therefore, he wanted to investigate this matter even more thoroughly than Zhu Yunwen.

The residents inside the shop also became angry, and someone immediately stood up and said:

"Does the government think we're fools? They were so adamant before that this was the work of demons and monsters, but now they've been caught. These aren't demons and monsters, they're clearly a group of people!"

Another person said:

"But the government's solemn promises yesterday were full of demons and monsters. What exactly is going on?"

Another person said:

"Even if demons and monsters really exist in this world, even if some of the things that happened before, including the waiter's death in prison, were done by demons and monsters."

That doesn't deny that what happened to this brother is related to these people. Otherwise, who are these men in black? Are they ghosts?

If this involves two separate issues, does that mean these actions, committed by people, can be overlooked?

Listening to the opinions of those around him, Zhu Yunwen also realized that they were absolutely right.

Yes, even if the disappearances of those women were caused by demons and monsters, even if the waiter was killed by demons and monsters.

But the men in black standing in front of them are real people, and they need to investigate that thoroughly.

The waiter did indeed poison the food earlier, producing a candle laced with a sleeping potion. This should also be investigated; we can't simply attribute everything to demons and monsters.

So, in this matter, the people finally found loopholes and contradictions from several points.

So everyone gathered again, and together with Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu, along with several black men, they marched in a grand procession toward the yamen.

The people were arguing fiercely along the way, and the matter was becoming clearer and clearer to them.

In their view, regardless of whether these men in black were connected to the demons and monsters mentioned earlier, this matter had to be investigated.

They all need to give an explanation. Even if these men in black are not the same as the demons and monsters from before, they did indeed sneak into the inn in the middle of the night dressed in black, intending to harm the residents.

This is a fact, and it needs to be investigated thoroughly, including the previous incident involving the shop assistant, if these incidents are related to the same event.

Then we need to investigate whether it's just a hoax or something, and what really happened.

And so, the long procession once again blocked the entrance to the county government office, where several officials were drinking tea.

They had already planned it out. After the young couple in the inn died in a bizarre way, and then through various strange events they orchestrated, they could then present the public as if it were indeed the work of ghosts and monsters.

At that moment, they could even hear various noises coming from outside, and then the county magistrate said with a smile:

"It seems that the young couple died in the inn, and their deaths were quite bizarre. They were discovered and the matter was brought to the authorities."

Several officials laughed, but just then, soldiers immediately came forward and explained the situation:

"My lord, something terrible has happened! The young couple at the inn have captured four men in black..."

They said that four men in black had sneaked into the inn at night with malicious intent, and now they had been captured and were demanding an explanation from the authorities.

A large number of people had gathered outside, and they were all very agitated.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate's expression changed, and he then looked at the other officials and said:

"How is it possible that the young couple is still alive?"

The others also looked surprised, and then the official said:

"It seems that the two of them are indeed very difficult to kill. Not only did we fail to kill them, but we even managed to capture those men in black."

This situation is dire. It seems we're unlikely to offer any useful advice. Whether we combine this matter into one issue or separate it into two, it's all very disadvantageous for us.

The county magistrate panicked at this point:

"I had planned everything perfectly, but I never expected things to turn out this way. The people are so agitated now, what should we do?"

The magistrate was somewhat angry, at which point the county clerk stood up and said:

"There's no other way but to go out and see what happens, and adapt to the situation. We're officials, and officials have two mouths; surely we can argue with them?"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized it made sense, so they all got up, preparing to go out and deal with the situation as it unfolded.
