Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 736: Consequences

The boss, immersed in fear, said: "He is... drunk."

Tie Hongyan continued, "When a person is drunk, he can do all kinds of things. He may smash a jar of wine that he has not provoked, or he may kill someone who has not provoked him. When a person is drunk, he does not need any reason to do anything."

The boss said: "The man who smashed the wine jar looked just a little drunk, but not to a serious degree."

"He was just a little drunk and he smashed the wine jar. If this kind of person was even more drunk... I dare not think about it!" Quan Liu said deliberately.

The boss said: "You mean..."

Quan Liu deliberately said: "Could it be that the person who killed my friend is the one who smashed the wine jar?"

The boss said, "You are trying to trick me again."

Tie Hongyan said to the boss, "Something happened here. If you are willing to tell us what we want to know, it will be considered as helping us to make the murderer pay the price he should pay. If the murderer kills people here and nothing happens, it will make people think that no one cares about killing people in your tavern, and the consequences will be serious. If ordinary people know that the murderer will not be punished after killing people here, will they still dare to come here to eat and drink? Don't they worry about accidents? However, this is not the most serious consequence. Boss, think about it, if those who are ready to murder others know that there is no price to pay for killing people here, will they deliberately choose you as the place to commit the crime? Will there be more murders here in the future?"

The boss was terrified after hearing this and said slowly, "Don't I have any choice as to what to do?"

Tie Hongyan said: "Of course you can make your own choice. Each choice has corresponding consequences. Before making a choice, you need to consider whether you can bear the consequences. Some choices may seem to have a lower cost on the surface, but in fact, it may not be the case."

Quan Liu immediately said, "Boss, the more I think about it, the more dangerous it feels. If the murderer dares to kill my friend here, doesn't he dare to kill others here?"

The boss said, "Don't say anymore. I... let me think... do you need to come forward to testify when the time comes?" "We just want to ask about the situation and understand it first. We didn't say that you must come forward to testify. If it is necessary in the future, we will tell you, and it will be your decision whether to come forward to testify at that time." Tie Hongyan said.

"But...if I say anything, I'll be involved in this matter. You will have evidence against me, and it won't be up to me whether to come forward to testify or not!" said the boss, frowning.

"We are not threatening you to testify. We are the ones who asked you for help, and we are on the same side as you." Tie Hongyan said, "Do you have any other concerns?"

"I……"

"I know that what you are most worried about is your safety and the safety of this tavern, right?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yeah... no matter what, it's hard to guarantee safety." The boss said worriedly.

"If we help you solve this problem, will you help us?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"How do we solve this problem?" the boss asked.

"If you are willing to help us, I will hire someone to protect your tavern for a year." Tie Hongyan said.

"But will anyone cause trouble for me when I'm not in the pub?" asked the boss.
