These People Are Not Breathing

"Why you again?"

Ning Ruichen calmed himself down and took another look, and found that this person was the middle-aged man who had just persuaded him to kill someone, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Do you know me?" The man looked very serious and stiff, and said in a cold voice, "I have never seen you before. Where are Nie Changsheng and others?"

"Nie Changsheng?" Ning Ruichen was stunned for a moment, and answered casually: "It seems that he is injured. He is still in the hospital in Guicheng."

The visitor asked again, "What about his wife? Is she not here either?"

"Inside...wait a minute, who the hell are you?" Ning Ruichen was about to answer, but suddenly came to his senses and pointed at the person who came and questioned: "You are still pretending not to know me. The person who asked me to kill the mayor's mother just now was you, right?"

Hearing this, the visitor's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Ning Ruichen closely: "It was you who did it, everyone come in!"

"What do you mean?" Ning Ruichen had a confused expression on his face, not knowing what this person wanted to do.

Soon, seven or eight people rushed into the living room carrying two corpses.

Ning Ruichen looked down and saw that the two bodies were that of old lady Gao and Nie Jinpeng. He couldn't help but screamed in shock: "Are they really dead?"

"Humph, you just admitted that you did it, but now you want to pretend to be ignorant?" The man looked at Ning Ruichen with a sneer on his face, "What, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility for it?"

"You are mentally ill, aren't you?" Ning Ruichen frowned, pointing at the man and said, "When did I admit it? It was you who said you wanted to kill them both, and I refused directly. Now you are biting back. I think you killed them."

The mockery in the eyes of the visitors deepened. Among the people who followed in, a young man couldn't help but yell at Ning Ruichen, "You are looking for death. This is our mayor. Grandma Gao is his biological mother. Do you want to say that the mayor killed his biological mother and then put the blame on you, an irrelevant person?"

"Are you the mayor of Niejia Town?" Ning Ruichen looked at the middle-aged man in doubt, and recalled what happened before, "That's you. You are the one who advised me to kill the old lady! But I didn't do it. I just threw them into the trash can."

The young man couldn't help but curse, "How dare you bite back at the mayor! Are you looking for death?"

"Hey, Sanpao, don't get excited." Mayor Nie chuckled and stopped the excited young man. He looked at Ning Ruichen coldly: "I also know that it might not be you who did it. You and my mother, as well as Jin Peng, have no grudges in the past or in the present. There is no need to do such a fatal thing."

Ning Ruichen said calmly: "It's good that you know."

"But you must tell me who your employer is." Mayor Nie then changed the subject and pressed, "Since you live here, the person who ordered you to do this could be anyone other than Nie Changsheng's family."

Ning Ruichen laughed when he heard this: "I understand, you are setting a trap for me, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me directly whether you did it or not and who instructed you to do it." Mayor Nie also became angry and pointed at Ning Ruichen, shouting viciously.

Ning Ruichen sneered: "Haha, if you want to play this game with your father, get lost!"

"Since you don't admit it, that's easy to deal with." Mayor Nie turned his head and told the young man following him, "Catch him and send him to the Tea Hall. We'll have a thorough trial then."

"You're still talking about the tea hall? Call the police if you have the guts." Ning Ruichen was full of disdain. "Someone's dead, but you didn't call the police, but wanted to lynch him? You said you have nothing to hide, but who would believe you?"

Mayor Nie shouted, "Shut his mouth!"

Ning Ruichen clenched his fist and pointed at the person rushing towards him: "If you are not afraid of death, come and try."

"Hmph, you're quite arrogant." Mayor Nie suddenly took a step forward and flashed in front of Ning Ruichen. Before Ning Ruichen could react, he slapped Ning Ruichen on the center of his chest with his palm.

Ning Ruichen felt his whole body ache, and he instantly lost all his strength: "What's your trick?"

"Mayor, what are you doing?" Mother Nie had been taking a nap. After hearing the noise, she hurriedly changed her clothes. As soon as she left the room, she saw those people attacking Ning Ruichen. "He is Xiaoli's friend, don't mess around!"

"Haha, you finally showed up. Where's your daughter?" Mayor Nie glanced at Mother Nie several times and asked, "Where's your daughter?"

Mother Nie replied, "Xiao Li went out shopping with her friend and should be back soon."

"Haha, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to run away, right?" Mayor Nie speculated maliciously.

"Run? Why are you running?" Mother Nie looked very confused.

Mayor Nie shouted coldly, "You killed my mother together with Nie Jinpeng from Nie Laoer's family. They were afraid of going to the teahouse, so they ran away."

"What did you say?" Mother Nie looked down and saw the two bodies lying on the ground. She was immediately terrified and pale: "What, what happened? Why did they die?"

"Go on pretending." Mayor Nie sneered, "It was you and your daughter who conspired with these people to kill him."

"Mayor, did you misunderstand something?" Mother Nie quickly and softly explained what happened, "Aunt Gao and Jin Peng were fine at that time and were still alive. How could he die just after dinner?"

After listening to the story, Mayor Nie became even more impatient: "Zhang Qiling, stop pretending. You just hate me for cheating you and your daughter. Now you have the chance to kill my mother. What else is there to say? Come with me to the discussion hall. Let the elders judge!"

Hearing the word "clan elder", Mother Nie's face suddenly showed a look of fear: "Well, Changfeng, there must be something fishy about this matter."

"Auntie, stop talking nonsense to him." Ning Ruichen said at this time: "He killed the old woman himself. When I threw them out just now, he asked me why I didn't kill them before throwing them out. Now these two people are really dead, who else could have done it if not him!"

"Bullshit!" Mayor Nie was filled with grief, his eyes red. "Ask anyone in this town, everyone will know that I, Nie Changfeng, am a born filial son. I would kill my own mother. This is simply a huge insult to me!"

The young men from the town who followed in couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting:

"Mayor, stop talking nonsense to them!"

"That's right. Just take him to the tea hall and let the elders judge him!"

"They are not good people!"

Ning Ruichen was still young after all, and he could not stand the situation, so he turned around and shouted: "Hey, brother-in-law, wake up, something happened!"

But there was no one on the sofa.

The summer that was sleeping there just now was gone.

"No way, so ungrateful? Brother-in-law, stop playing, this is a big deal." Ning Ruichen was dumbfounded for a moment. Of course, he didn't think that Xia Tian was afraid of these people and then hid. He must be trying to play a trick on him on purpose.

"Humph, take both of them away." Mayor Nie snorted coldly, "Ring the gong and summon the quasi-elders in the town to the tea hall."

So Ning Ruichen, Mother Nie, and the two corpses marched towards the auditorium in the center of the town, beating gongs.

…

On the other side, Nie Xiaoli and Ning Ruirui also encountered some troubles.

There is a supermarket in the town called Niejia Supermarket, which basically serves the residents of Niejia Town and the tourists coming and going.

There were not many customers in the supermarket at this time.

The two of them went to buy some personal belongings and some snacks together. When they finished paying and were about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by the security guard.

"Sorry, you two must come with me to the security room." The supermarket security guard drew his baton and stood in front of Nie Xiaoli and Ning Ruirui.

Nie Xiaoli asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean?"

The security guard was very direct: "I suspect you stole something and need to check it out."

"We stole something?" Ning Ruirui laughed out of anger. "If that were the case, the alarm would have gone off and the cashier wouldn't have let us leave like that."

"The alarm has had problems these past two days, so it's normal that it's not sounding." The security guard said with a little displeasure, "I saw your dirty tricks on the surveillance camera. Please cooperate with the investigation, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Ning Ruirui looked disdainful. She could guess what the security guard was up to. He was just using his little power to take advantage of customers. Judging from his behavior, he must have used this excuse to harass female customers before.

"Put away your little tricks, we don't have time to deal with you." Ning Ruirui said coldly.

Nie Xiaoli was relatively polite and explained: "Look at the clothes we are wearing, where is there any place to hide things?"

"Who can say for sure?" The security guard showed a lewd smile on his face. "You women have many places to hide things. I have to search carefully to find out."

Ning Ruirui was already a little angry, and warned: "I don't want to hit anyone, you'd better not ask for trouble."

"You stole something and now you want to beat someone up?" Seeing that they were not cooperating, the security guard couldn't help but get angry and immediately blew the whistle hanging around his neck.

I saw the gate at the entrance of the supermarket suddenly fall down.

Another four or five people rushed out from the side and surrounded Nie Xiaoli and Ning Ruirui.

"What do you want to do?" Nie Xiaoli also felt something was wrong and immediately said, "I am also from Niejia Town, you'd better not mess around! As long as I ask casually, I can find out where your home is!"

"Then go and ask them." The security guard chuckled, his expression becoming more and more vulgar: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will certainly not do anything wrong. Otherwise, it will not just be a mess!"

Nie Xiaoli was so angry that her pretty face turned blue: "You are simply the scum of Niejia Town!"

"Whether you're a loser or not is another matter. Take off your clothes now...ah!" Before the security guard could finish his words, Ning Ruirui kicked him in the face, and several of his teeth were broken in an instant.

Ning Ruirui said calmly: "These people are definitely not from Niejia Town."

"Sister Ning, how did you know?" Nie Xiaoli was stunned. She, who grew up in Niejia Town, didn't realize it, but how come Ning Ruirui could see it?

"The clothes don't fit." Ning Ruirui said calmly: "And... didn't you notice that they weren't breathing at all?"
