Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 211 Siyang City has its own market situation

The owner of the ramen shop and the employees he hired are all pure killers. They don't need to know the specific identity of the target, nor do they need to know the reason why the employer wants to buy their lives. As long as the money is received, they will kill.

To Duan Mingyuan's regret, the killers in the ramen shop were so pure that they usually had never even met their employers, leaving him with no way of knowing their employers' specific identities.

These are what Duan Mingyuan learned afterwards.

He also learned that there were many killers like the owner of the ramen shop in Siyang City. The convenience stores you have visited, the gas stations you have passed by, and even the sanitation workers passing by on the street may be members of this killer organization, and their way of making a living is to help their employers get rid of some overly curious people.

Duan Mingyuan glanced at the soy sauce bottle sitting quietly on the counter of the ramen shop. Just now, they had a harmonious and friendly conversation. The ramen shop owner opened his heart to him and told him everything he knew.

This incident is another typical example of "leniency to those who confess" in Siyang City.

Although he failed to learn the secrets of his employer and the underground exchange, on the bright side, Duan Mingyuan at least gained the ramen experience honed by the ramen shop owner over decades. From now on, he is also a ramen master, and when he returns to Yunhai Academy, he will be able to show off his skills to Jiu Yue.

"Are you guys okay?"

Duan Mingyuan looked at the two people who were stunned. They stretched their bodies straight and looked like small animals targeted by their natural enemies. They looked panicked and pitiful.

He thought of something and said, "Don't worry. Although the owner and the staff of this ramen shop are killers, they will not dismember their targets and cook them into food. The ramen is made with fresh pork bones bought from the market every morning. The quality is guaranteed."

He could assure them that although ramen was the boss's side job, it was taken seriously, and the boss was very particular about both the ingredients and the craftsmanship.

"That's not the problem. Oh, no, that seems to be a problem as well."

Xing originally wanted to complain, but when she thought about what Duan Mingyuan said, her face suddenly turned pale and she couldn't help but take a look at the pork bones in the bowl that she had only eaten a few bites of.

If there was human flesh in this bowl, she would probably never be able to eat meat again in her life.

However, what really put her and Zheng Liu into a state of stress was what Duan Mingyuan had just done. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that all the killers in the room turned into seasoning bottles, bowls and chopsticks and other items in the blink of an eye, and fell on the table without making any sound.

If someone broke into the ramen restaurant at this moment, they would never imagine that there were many people here besides them a few minutes ago.

"Are they... still alive?"

Zheng Liu asked in a low voice.

Although Duan Mingyuan regarded himself as a public official, he did not give these people any chance to regret surrendering. The next second after he blinked, the ramen restaurant became completely quiet.

Duan Mingyuan said, "Live in my heart."

In the form of life energy.

This answer made the two of them feel even colder and colder.

This person claimed to be a medical assistant who was not good at fighting, but he was much more decisive than a real killer when it came to killing people, and he did not show any anxiety or guilt afterwards.

This made the two realize a terrible fact.

This was definitely not the first time Duan Mingyuan had done this. It seemed that to him, killing people was no different from eating bread.

You won't feel bad or guilty about eating a piece of bread.

"Let's go, the person in charge of the contact station is still waiting for us."

Duan Mingyuan interrupted their thoughts and took the lead in opening the shutter door of the ramen restaurant.

Before leaving, he looked back at the quiet ramen restaurant again and saw the soy sauce bottle on the counter.

In this way, the store manager and his employees can stay with the ramen restaurant they cherish forever. For a group of killers who live on the edge of a knife, returning to ordinary life may not be a bad ending.

About half an hour later, Duan Mingyuan finally met the person in charge of the Siyang City Liaison Station.

This man named Xinghe gives people the image of a shrewd middle-aged man at first glance.

Names like Xinghe and Dajiang were nicknames they acquired after becoming stationmasters. From the moment they became the person in charge of the liaison station, their past names and identities had nothing to do with them. After the meeting, Xinghe asked Zheng Liu and Xing to stay in the cubicle to rest temporarily, and took Duan Mingyuan into the room inside the bar.

Compared with Dajiang, who uses his home as a liaison station, the economic situation of the Siyang City Liaison Station is obviously much better off.

"The situation is very bad now. If the girl is alive, many people in Siyang City will not be able to sleep well."

After locking the door of the small conference room, Xinghe said solemnly.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, those who can't sleep will try every means to get rid of Xing.

"If she died in the alley, that would be the end of the matter, at least as far as the association is concerned."

Xinghe didn't know Duan Mingyuan, but if he was a former high-ranking official in the Imperial Hunting Court, he would never do something like resurrecting the dead.

This would cause big trouble for themselves and the entire association.

"Did you reveal her whereabouts?"

Duan Mingyuan asked.

"I didn't need to do that. I just didn't stop her. She's just like her master. She never listens to advice."

Xinghe took a deep breath and said, "I have advised her master many times not to continue investigating. It will not benefit them, but they all turned a deaf ear to my words... However, now is not the time to talk about this. You and that young policeman are also on their list. Now we should discuss how to remedy the situation."

"remedy?"

"I used my connections to find someone who can talk to them. They made a request that you, as the representative of the association, jointly issue a statement with the local police. No matter what method you use, make the citizens believe that the company's case has been resolved. In short, just suppress the matter as much as possible. After that, they will let you leave Siyang City safely."

"What about Zheng Liu and Xing?"

“They know too much.”

Xinghe quickly noticed the difference between Duan Mingyuan and his predecessor Yu Shouting. The newly appointed leader seemed to have no sense of the overall situation at all.

It is precisely because of this that the association has fallen into such a passive situation.

It all started from the moment he brought Xing back to life. This action completely ignited the anxiety in those people's hearts, so much so that they hoped Duan Mingyuan would remain quiet rather than Xing.

This made them wonder, since Duan Mingyuan could bring Xing back to life, he could also bring back to life all those who had been silenced in the past.

In this way, no one is safe anymore.

"I see. You didn't invite me here to solve the case from the beginning."

Duan Mingyuan suddenly understood.

It is neither about investigating the missing old hunter nor about finding out the truth behind the disappearance of 13 people.

For those who are involved in underground exchanges, they naturally know what is shady in it.

"They just need someone with authority to make a statement to the public."

“This is also an opportunity to bring the association back into people’s attention. It was originally a win-win deal.”

"What about the 13 missing persons? As far as I know, besides me, there are also people taking action against them."

“They want to take care of the chores themselves.”

Xinghe emphasized his tone and advised, "It's time to turn back while there is still a chance to make amends."
