Mo Jiuye shook his head vigorously: "I'm just here to run this restaurant, I've never seen any steward."
In order to prove that he was not lying, the buddy added: "Even the two cooks were brought in by our brothers, if you don't believe me you can go ask them."
Mo Jiuye did not go to ask those two cooks, but pointed in the direction of the woodshed and asked: "Were that old man and child caught by you?"
The buddy shook his head again, then looked at the two dead men who had been removed from the poison sacs in their mouths by the Mo brothers.
"It was them...they put those people there."
"Initially there were only two of them who brought the people here and then left. It wasn't until today that they reappeared with many more people."
The other thugs, afraid that they would also suffer physically, hurried to help prove it.
"Sir, what he said is true..."
Mo Jiuye did not pay any attention to those people, but walked towards the two dead men.
It had to be said that the dead men were trained rigorously and did not fear life and death.
Seeing Mo Jiuye approaching, the two showed no sign of fear on their faces. Instead, they continued to maintain eye contact with Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye knew clearly that it would not be easy to get any useful information from these two men. He regretted not bringing some of the itching powder made by his wife when he went out.
That stuff was most suitable for interrogation. Even the toughest mouths could be pried open with it.
But now he didn’t have any itching powder on hand. He could only try the usual methods first.
Mo Chuhan saw that his ninth brother had come to the two dead men but had not moved. He took out a dagger from his waist and walked over. "Ninth brother, let me do it."
As he spoke, Mo Chuhan’s dagger had already cut off one of the dead man's ears.
The dead man didn't even react before he felt a cool sensation where his ear used to be, followed quickly by a piercing pain.
Looking at the ground in front of him, his ear was lying quietly there.
"Just kill me, I won't say anything."
His words had just fallen when Mo Chuhan's dagger moved again, cutting off his other ear, then placing the knife tip on his nose bridge.
"I want to know what you haven't said yet. I won't let you die, I will only let you live painfully."
Mo Chuhan also knew the minds of these dead men. Although they were fearless of life and death, they did not want to be tortured. Therefore, the dead men would carry poison sacs in their mouths. In order to protect their master’s secrets and prevent themselves from being tortured, they would choose to break the poison sacs and commit suicide at the first opportunity.
It was unlucky that today they met the Mo brothers. They did not even have a chance to break their poison sacs and commit suicide.
Let's not talk about the person involved. The other dead man also saw this scene and was terrified, afraid that he would be the next one to lose his ears.
However, their ideology had always been loyal to their master. Even in the face of torture, it was impossible for them to confess any information.
The dead man with the knife tip against his nose had already resigned himself to death. In order not to continue being tortured, he suddenly raised his head when Mo Chuhan was not paying attention and thrust his body forward with great force.
His throat was aligned directly with the knife tip.
Mo Chuhan realized it was too late to dodge. The dagger pierced the dead man’s throat and he died instantly.
There were only two people left alive that could provide some information, and one of them died so easily. As for the one left, neither brother dared to be careless, otherwise their lead could be cut off entirely.
To be safe, Mo Jiuye did not dare to be negligent again.
Especially when trying to get useful information out of this kind of fearless dead man, it was not a simple matter.
"Eighth brother, I saw a dilapidated civilian house nearby just now. Take him there and wait for me. I’ll take care of things here and then meet up with you."
Mo Chuhan had also seen the dilapidated house. From the outside it looked pitch black, probably because water damage made it temporarily uninhabitable.
"Okay, I’ll take him over now."
He had just accidentally let a dead man die so easily. This time Mo Chuhan didn’t dare to be careless at all.
He also did not intend to interrogate anymore. As long as he could keep this man alive, there was still hope of getting some useful information out of him.
"Ninth brother, don't worry, I guarantee I won't let him die again this time."
It was really his fault that he had let a live source die just like that.
After Mo Chuhan finished speaking, he picked up the dead man and leapt high into the air.
After all, it was broad daylight. Carrying a live person around would definitely draw attention, so he had to take the high road to avoid people.
Watching his older brother's figure disappear, Mo Jiuye came to the group again.
According to reason, after finding Wang Lin's family in the woodshed, there was no doubt that Boss Jin's death was absolutely related to this gang.
If this matter did not involve the Mo Family, Mo Jiuye would have undoubtedly brought these people to the government for processing.
But he considered that those who could deal with the Mo Family would not be ordinary people. The prefectural magistrate in Yun City was newly appointed after their arrival in Yun City, and Mo Jiuye was unfamiliar with his character and background.
Therefore, Mo Jiuye felt that turning these people over to the magistrate's office was not feasible. Besides, it was not until he and Eighth Brother arrived at the second Jingxian Building that they discovered so many hints. As for whether the situation was the same in the first Jingxian Building, that was still unknown.
The best approach would be for Meng Huaining to take these people away and conduct the interrogation personally.
Moreover, it was reasonable for Meng Huaining to handle this case. After all, he had already received the official document issued by the prefectural magistrate, instructing him to handle the matter. Even if the officials from Yun City came to the prefecture to arrest people, the prefect would not say anything once he knew.
Unfortunately, both he and Eighth Brother had unavoidable reasons to be absent at the moment, which put Mo Jiuye in an awkward situation.
They had finally discovered some clues and captured these people, so there was no reason to quit halfway.
Thinking of these things, Mo Jiuye paced around the yard.
On the surface he was wandering around the yard, but he was actually looking for a place to temporarily hide these people.
As long as he was given a few hours to investigate the inside story of the other Jingxian Building, then he would return to Yun City at the fastest speed to notify Meng Huaining to collect the people.
The elderly grandmother and little granddaughter in the woodshed were feeling a little better after drinking the water Mo Chuhan had given them.
The old woman struggled to stand up, supported by her little granddaughter as they left the woodshed.
Mo Jiuye turned his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that although the old woman was weak, she was not completely immobile. An idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Auntie, you still remember how you were brought here right?"
The Mo brothers had not intended to hide things from the old woman when interrogating those people just now. After all, she was also a victim and must harbor immense hatred towards them.
