Chapter 178 Nothing to say
Gu Mingyue called Da Mao and Er Mao to stop, but did not let them let go of the two people, "Have you thought it through?"
One of the men asked, "After I tell you, will you really let us go?"
"The premise is that you tell the truth. As long as I can do it, I promise that I will do what I say."
One of the men yelled, "Don't believe her, there's no way she'll let us go!"
"Why don't you dare say it! It's not our responsibility!"
The man who was shouting reacted quickly, stopped talking immediately, and looked indignant.
"We didn't kill Qi Dahai. Ever since he was removed from his position as village chief, the people he had bullied before would go to his house and smash things up every now and then. His wife couldn't stand it, so she took the children back to her parents' home. His parents and brothers were afraid of being implicated, so they stopped having anything to do with him. When we went to look for him that day, he had already fallen to the ground with blood all over his head. Although it wasn't our fault, we did participate in the worst of the incidents, and we were worried about being held accountable, so, so..."
The man stammered and couldn't continue, his eyes darting around, obviously trying to think of an excuse.
Gu Mingyue helped him continue, "You were worried about being implicated, and you couldn't deal with the bodies, so you thought of burning them, but you had been hungry for too long, and when the aroma of meat wafted out, your appetite became hard to control. After tasting the sweetness, the malice in your heart was completely released, and it was out of control. The important thing is that you found that this method can both satisfy your hunger and go unnoticed by others, because everyone who knows what you did will die because of your mouth. It's just that you made a mistake today, and you lost more than you gained, right?"
The two men's faces turned pale, and they were visibly guilty, but they denied it firmly. "No, we just felt guilty, so we decided to do the right thing and burn him and let him rest in peace. As for what you said, it was all your wild guesses. We didn't do it! I just said that I was just trying to scare you, don't accuse me. I've said it all, you don't want to regret it, do you?"
"Of course I won't go back on my word. It's just..." Gu Mingyue deliberately dragged out her tone and asked, "I'm curious, if I cut open your stomach, how much of the meat inside is yours and how much is someone else's? Do you think you can tell the difference?"
Even though they were just being pressed down by the mountain cat, they were not scared to the point of shaking. After hearing these words, the two of them couldn't help shaking like sieves. "You...you don't mess around. Don't try to scare us. Killing...killing is against the law."
Seeing that he was in a state of uncertainty, Gu Mingyue took the opportunity to ask, "Then tell me how you grew this body of flesh. Eating only Qi Dahai is not enough to sustain you until now!"
Some people in the village who stood at the back and didn't understand the situation at first gradually reacted.
He glanced at the greasy flesh on the two men, and could no longer hold back and turned around to vomit...
The two men knew very well that even if they admitted to trafficking children, they could not admit to cannibalism.
Otherwise, they will definitely be regarded as monsters by everyone, and death will be a relief at that time. They are just afraid that life is worse than death.
Therefore, even though there were two mountain cats staring at them from above, the two men refused to acknowledge them.
Gu Mingyue felt that she had thought it was too simple and that she could figure it out by just lying.
Yes, this was not just a simple theft. Even though the two of them couldn't control their panic physically, they were mentally tense.
They have not received rigorous torture training, but their nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm subconsciously drives them to grit their teeth.
It can be seen that human potential is sometimes really infinite. No matter good or bad, you can never underestimate anyone's mental strength.
Gu Mingyue didn't have any definite evidence, but she had a hunch, especially after she got the space, her sixth sense became more accurate.
Let’s not talk about unfounded feelings and just talk about the facts. The bark of the trees is bald, the wild vegetables are gone, and even the animals in the mountains are very thin.
Gu Mingyue dared to say that no one in the entire Qingshan Town eats as much as her family. How come these two people eat more than anyone else!
Moreover, the abnormally excited state of the two people and the evil eyes did not need any evidence. Anyone with eyes could find that there was something wrong between them!
Gu Mingyue raised her hand to call Da Mao and Er Mao back, and then said to them, "Go away, and don't come near Gujia Village again."
The two were stunned, then quickly got up and supported each other, "Are you really letting us go?"
"I've said it before, I won't go back on my word. Even though you won't listen, I'll still say one more thing. What immoral things you've done are known only to heaven and earth, and you and I know them. Life is hard for everyone, and it's not pleasant to be hungry. I understand that, but that's no reason for you to commit crimes. Justice is clear, and retribution will come. I'm waiting for your retribution!"
Noticing the indifferent expressions of the two, Gu Mingyue thought to herself, if they still had some sense of shame, there was still hope. Now... it's even better!
This way she won't feel guilty...
After the two men left, Guan Youliang said in a deep voice, "Just let them go like this?"
Someone in the village recognized the two men and said, "I remember now. They are Qi Dahai's brothers-in-law. They just held a funeral for their wives and children. They said they died of starvation..."
After this topic was brought up, there was gradually no further comment and the person who spoke quickly turned pale.
Similarly, others also reacted quickly: the family members were starving to death, and the two of them became fat, not edema, it could only be...
"Ugh..." This time, Gu Mingyue couldn't help feeling nauseous.
Guan Youliang frowned and instructed the militia, "From now on, you will also take turns patrolling during meal times."
Gu Mingyue echoed, "Yes, it would be best to extend the patrol time and expand the range by another 24 meters, hours a day. I know it will be hard work, so I'll make the decision. Each member of the militia will receive an extra steamed bun every day. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Don't be afraid of trouble, safety is the most important thing."
After this, everyone agreed.
One child asked cautiously, "Aunt Mingyue, what if the bad guys come again?"
Staring at the two people's gradually disappearing backs, he said vaguely, "They won't come..."
Everyone just thought Mingyue was comforting them and didn't take it seriously.
I didn't want to stay any longer. I resisted the urge to feel nauseous and just wanted to go back. I wanted to get back to my family and give them some instructions.
Only Guan Youliang, who understood Gu Mingyue's personality, noticed that she quietly touched Da Mao and Er Mao's heads, pointed at the two people on the mountain, and gestured back and forth.
After a while, two mountain cats ran towards them silently.
Gu Mingyue turned around and happened to meet Guan Youliang's eyes. Neither of them said anything, and everything was self-explanatory.
As soon as they returned to the village, they were surrounded by villagers, who were talking about what had just happened.
My uncle was pacing back and forth anxiously with a cane, and my eldest brother and others beside him also looked worried.
As soon as they saw the person coming, they immediately went to greet him, "Mingyue, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry. If you don't believe me, I'll spin around for you..."
