After the waiter came in, he looked around, then a strange smile appeared on his face. He then took out a rope and slowly approached the bed.
When he reached the bedside, the waiter slowly spoke, as if talking to himself:
"You're quite lucky, aren't you? You were kidnapped the first time, but you managed to escape unscathed. But such good luck obviously won't happen again."
As he spoke, the waiter reached out and forcefully pulled back the blanket covering the bed.
But when he lifted the covers, he was stunned, because he saw that there was no one on the bed and the blankets were empty.
His expression immediately changed, realizing he had been tricked.
Just then, Zhao Qingzhu suddenly rushed out from behind the screen, kicked the waiter to the ground with both feet, and then drew her long sword and held it to the waiter's neck.
The waiter looked at Zhao Qingzhu with great fear, then Zhu Yunwen slowly walked out, curled his lip, and said to the waiter:
"I really didn't expect to encounter danger twice in one night, and I was almost kidnapped both times. The security situation in Nanjiang County is truly infuriating."
The waiter looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise and said:
How did you realize it?
Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips and said calmly:
"You care too much about me, or rather, about both of us. You're giving us these candles like they're free."
But you never considered that these candles are so expensive, the cost is there, yet you're being so generous.
They gave us several before, and now they're giving us several more. Is this normal?
Even if you're kind-hearted, you don't have to be so generous. You're just a waiter, not the owner.
Besides, you've reminded us time and again to light candles; isn't that a bit too obvious a ulterior motive?
The waiter looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:
"You think there's a problem just because of this?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Of course not. The most problematic thing is that when we came back, you were very shocked to see us. That's not normal."
The waiter said, "Why is it not normal? I saw you come back from outside, but I didn't see you go out. Shouldn't you be suspicious?"
Zhu Yunwen said, "There must be quite a few guests who leave this inn every day and then come back, right?"
Zhu Yunwen then asked, "So you notice every guest who goes out? Can you remember clearly whether each guest goes out or comes back?"
The waiter paused for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"No, that's not true. Our inn is the biggest here, and we have a lot of guests every day, with many coming and going."
Especially at night, it's very lively outside now. Guests who go out for a late-night snack and then come back, I might not pay much attention.
Zhu Yunwen said:
"That's right. You don't pay attention to every guest coming in and out, but why are you so puzzled that you didn't see us go out?"
This cannot be used as an excuse or reason; it only shows that you believe we can never come back, meaning you believe we must have been taken away by something.
Either you were paying special attention to us, so you didn't notice us going out, but wondered why we came back.
That's why they had that surprised expression when they saw us again.
Regardless of the possibility, it only proves that you are not normal, doesn't that make sense?
The waiter took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and said:
"You're very smart!"
Zhu Yuntong sneered: "Many people say that. Instead of praising me, you should say that you were unlucky to run into me."
The waiter looked at Zhu Yunwen in despair:
"Then, I'm curious, were you already taken to the transaction location, and how did you get back?"
Zhu Yunwen:
"I'm more curious about whether you knew when the man in black attacked us, when he poisoned our food?"
The waiter, once again surprised, stared at Zhu Yunwen and said: "Read the book!"
"You are indeed thorough and have considered all aspects. That's right. I have to admit that I was the one who put the poison in his food."
Zhu Yunwen also said:
"So you do this too? Are you one of the Men in Black, the Ghost-Faced Rakshasa, or the mastermind behind it all?"
Dian Xiao Er shook his head and said, "It doesn't count. I just helped the man in black by attacking a young and beautiful woman, and he gave me some money."
As he spoke, the waiter looked at Zhu Yunwen:
"So you already knew so much? You even knew about the boss behind the scenes?"
Zhu Yunwen, however, curled his lip in disdain:
"It seems you know less than I do, so I have no reason to answer your question."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen took a rope and tied the waiter up, then tied him to a wooden pillar.
The waiter asked in confusion:
"What do you plan to do with me?"
Zhu Yunwen said, "In our area, the rumors about the Ghost-Faced Rakshasa are too far-fetched. We need to expose this so-called secret. Naturally, we will hand you over to the yamen at dawn."
Upon hearing this, the waiter showed little expression, remaining remarkably calm. Zhu Yunwen, however, asked with puzzlement:
"You don't seem afraid."
The waiter sneered and said:
“If being afraid were useful, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said:
"No, no one would not be afraid. There must be something else that I don't know about."
The waiter remained silent, while Zhu Yunwen continued:
