"The mental damage compensation is 500,000 yuan, and the labor fee is double that, which adds up to 3.5 million yuan!" The mayor counted on his fingers and exclaimed in amazement.
Everyone in the village gasped. Some of them had never seen so much money in their lives!
"Forget it if you can't take it out, Master. Please go slowly and come this way!" Taoist Wuya smiled and pointed the way for Qiao Ruoxi.
The mayor looked at Ning Kun in panic.
Seeing Ning Kun nodded, he immediately called out to Qiao Ruoxi and Taoist Wuya.
"Master, Taoist Wuya, please stay and give us a little time. We will gather all the items and deliver them to you before the sun sets."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Wu Ya immediately turned around and showed his special smile for taking orders: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Then we should wait until the sun sets."
Everyone: ...
"I only have 1.5 million. For everyone's sake, I've taken out all the money I used to marry my grandpa!" Ning Kun said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone in Ningyuan Town opened their eyes wide.
"A-Kun, your hotel has almost no income. The only income is the profit from selling the crops for the villagers. Where do you get so much money?"
"You always say that prices are low and profits are low recently. Are all the money we work hard for going into your pocket?"
"Well, the mayor has known about this for a long time, haven't you two been in cahoots with each other?"
Ning Kun's eyes instantly turned red: "Shut up! Without me, how can you sell your stuff? It will all rot in the ground, you ungrateful bastard!"
"It's better for it to rot in the fields if it can't be sold than to go into your pocket!" someone retorted angrily.
The two sides cursed each other more fiercely, and Taoist Wu Ya and Zhuo Yanting were dumbfounded. Why did they start fighting among themselves first?
"Don't you want to take care of it?" Taoist Wu Ya poked Zhuo Yanting.
The young policeman coughed lightly and pointed at his phone: "I'm calling someone. I'll be there later. Let them call for a while."
After saying that, he turned on the camera on his phone and recorded everything.
Finally, the mayor stepped forward and assured everyone that future buying and selling prices would be transparent. This finally calmed the situation, and everyone agreed to go home and pool money to pay the fees.
The young policeman twitched his eyes and said, "You guys are asking for such an exorbitant price, aren't you afraid of being arrested?"
Taoist Wu Ya chuckled and said, "If you didn't ask for an exorbitant price, how could you have obtained such good evidence?"
The young policeman coughed lightly and said, "This won't happen again. I'll pretend I didn't know anything this time."

Before the sun set, the mayor, with a pair of dark panda eyes, handed the remaining money to Taoist Wuya with both hands.
After Taoist Wu Ya finished counting, he looked at Qiao Ruoxi with a smile and said, "Master, what do you want us to do next?"
Qiao Ruoxi pointed at the three bodies and said, "Carry them to the hotel first."
Ning Yaozu jumped up and said, "This corpse is so unlucky. Will anyone be willing to stay at the hotel after we carry it to the hotel?"
Before Ning Yaozu could finish his words, Ning Kun slapped him in the face: "Shut up! If you hadn't offended the Sect Leader, I wouldn't have spent 1.5 million to keep you here. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Ning Yaozu wiped his tears in grievance. His hand hurt so much. He was the victim, okay!
After hearing what Qiao Ruoxi said, the village chief immediately asked people to carry away the body.
However, just as everyone touched the corpse, Ning Sheng ran out with unsteady steps, pointing at everyone with red eyes.
"That's my son, the heir of the Ningsheng family. No one is allowed to touch him!"
Ning Kun glanced nervously at Qiao Ruoxi and Taoist Wu Ya, then hurried to Ning Sheng to comfort him.
"When a person dies, the fragrance disappears. Ah Sheng, don't be so obsessed. You are still young. Wait until this matter is over, and then you can find a wife and have a son!"
Then he lowered his voice and whispered in Ning Sheng's ear: "We almost offended the leader of Yuanshan Sect before. I spent 1.5 million to ask them to stay and help Ningyuan Town alleviate the disaster. You have a share of this money. You have to pay at least half of it. Don't think about refusing to pay!"
Ning Sheng slapped Ning Kun away and said, "Idiot! I know Pei Yaolin's personality best. Even if she turned into a ghost, she wouldn't dare to do anything to me! You let the murderer go and pray to the gods here. You are all idiots!"
The mayor frowned and said a few words to the people around him. Then several burly men came, tied Ning Sheng up and took him into the house.
Ning Sheng pointed at Ning Kun's nose and said, "Do you still want me to help your son go to school in the city? Ask them to let me go!"
Ning Kun sighed: "You'd better survive first..."
After the body was carried to the inn, Qiao Ruoxi asked the people in the town to leave first.
Only the three of them and Pei Yaozhou were left here.
Zhuo Yanting covered his nose and paced back and forth in front of the three corpses. "Ms. Qiao, why did you ask people to bring the bodies here? Is there anything special about these three bodies?"
Qiao Ruoxi handed over a pair of gloves and said, "Because there are so many people there, it's not convenient to talk. You will understand once you see the body yourself."
Zhuo Yanting took the gloves and lifted the white cloth covering them one by one.
He felt nauseous almost every time he opened the lid. This way of death completely shattered his worldview as a newcomer to the special task force.
"Could this really be a ghost demanding my life?" For the first time, Zhuo Yanting doubted whether there really were ghosts in this world.
"Take a closer look." Qiao Ruoxi was indeed indifferent.
Zhuo Yanting once again focused his gaze on the three bodies, and then he was stunned.
He first pinched Song Yan's chin open, took out a piece of cotton cloth from her mouth, and smelled it under the pen. He repeated the same operation on Old Lady Ning and Ning Xiaohu.
"Song Yan and Old Lady Ning both had the taste of bitter almonds in their mouths. They were poisoned to death by potassium cyanide!" Zhuo Yanting said in surprise.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "This is the real cause of their death."
"If I'm correct, Ning Xiaohu was strangled to death. There might even be fingerprints on the pendant he was wearing."
Zhuo Yanting was shocked again!
At this moment, there was only admiration in Zhuo Yanting's eyes when he looked at Qiao Ruoxi.
"No wonder Mr. Yang invited you to participate in the 8 o'clock exploration program. If you weren't there, Miss Qiao, I might really think it was a ghost seeking revenge!"
"I think this matter can also be used as a report to expose fake feudal superstitions. It will definitely be a hit!" Zhuo Yanting became more and more excited as he spoke.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and pointed at Old Lady Ning's body again: "The body clearly wasn't soaked in water, so why is there so much swelling? Do you know what's going on?"
Zhuo Yanting was stunned for a moment: "Because it's raining?"
"It wouldn't have swollen this badly if it rained, and it certainly wouldn't have had any livor mortis at all."
After hearing what Qiao Ruoxi said, Zhuo Yanting was suddenly stunned.
He didn't even notice such an important thing!
And this situation seems to be different from what he learned in the police academy!
