In the narrow simple room, there are three bunk beds, one of which is empty, while the other two are full of people.

Hearing footsteps, they all turned their heads to look.

Yang Xiaobao was a little surprised when he saw their appearance.

Their eyes were empty, but full of fear.

Seeing the contractor and Yang Xiaobao who came in, these people didn't even move, and even their expressions didn't change.

In Yang Xiaobao's feeling, they were like four living dead.

"Get up, get up, don't lie down."

The contractor for the suitcase shouted at them.

"Mr. Li, when will we be paid? We have to go home, and there is no travel expenses." A shirtless man in big pants said, with a scar on the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, we quit, why didn't you send us money?" Another person said, this man's complexion was darker than others.

"I will definitely pay you wages, don't worry." The contractor surnamed Li said.

Then he pointed to Yang Xiaobao, and said, "This is Mr. Yang, who was hired by the big boss to investigate the death of Lao Hu and Xiao Zhou."

The four of them stared at Yang Xiaobao, their eyes were still blank.

"Mr. Li, this little brother is also a policeman?" asked the person lying on the lower bed inside. This person was an old man in his 50s, and his hair had basically fallen out.

"I'm not a policeman." Yang Xiaobao said lightly.

"It's not the police? The police said it was suicide. Why did the big boss send you here?" asked the man with a scar on his mouth.

The contractor surnamed Li snorted, and said, "You have so many questions, when Mr. Yang asks you something later, you just answer honestly."

Then he turned to Yang Xiaobao and said: "Mr. Yang, these people came with the two deceased. They are all from the same place, and they still live together. If you want to know anything, just ask them."

"it is good."

"Then, you guys talk first, I have something to do so I won't accompany you." The contractor surnamed Li hurried outside while talking.

"Mr. Li, don't leave. When will our wages be paid? If you don't pay them these two days, I'll sue you!" said the guy with the scar on his mouth.

The contractor surnamed Li waved his hands and said impatiently: "What's the reminder, I will definitely give it to you."

After speaking, he walked out of the simple room.

Yang Xiaobao looked at these people, nodded, and asked: "Are you and the deceased fellow villagers?"

These few people were silent, and no one answered his words.

The dormitory was temporarily quiet.

A few flies buzzed around the scraps of food on a folding table.

Yang Xiaobao quietly waited for them to speak.

In the end, the slightly older man in his 50s said: "We are their fellow villagers, from the same village."

"You are all from the same village, and you still live together. You should be very clear about how they died like this."

Yang Xiaobao found that after he said this, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

"How did he die? Isn't it a suicide?" said the dark-faced man. "The police have investigated it, and the surveillance cameras on the construction site have checked it. It is a suicide."

"Yes, it was suicide. Those two guys sneaked out while we were asleep in the middle of the night and did that kind of thing." The man with the scar on the corner of his mouth said.

Yang Xiaobao frowned and said: "The night they had an accident, you didn't notice it at all?"

"No." Several people said in unison.

"Then before the accident, did they do anything or have any unusual behavior?"

Several people looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No."

But Yang Xiaobao could tell that these people were not telling the truth.

From their eyes and expressions, Yang Xiaobao could guess that these people must know something.

It's just that they don't want to say it.

Yang Xiaobao secretly sighed.

It seems that this matter is really a bit troublesome.

What made Yang Xiaobao feel even more strange was that the person lying on the upper bunk of the bed inside had been lying face-to-face, motionless, as if he was asleep.

But Yang Xiaobao knew that with such a loud sound, it was impossible for him to fall asleep.

He only saw this person wearing a white vest, nothing else.

Just when Yang Xiaobao was about to ask something more, a cell phone rang.

Yang Xiaobao saw the guy with the scar on the corner of his mouth pick up the phone from the bedside, glanced at it, his expression changed, and then he looked at Yang Xiaobao again.

He seemed to feel that Yang Xiaobao was here to influence him to answer the phone.

But Yang Xiaobao stood there indifferently, with no intention of leaving at all.

The guy with the scar on the corner of his mouth had no choice but to answer the phone in front of Yang Xiaobao.

"What's wrong?" the guy asked.

Not knowing what was said on the phone, he nodded and said, "Okay then, we'll go there later."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"I'm sorry Mr. Yang, we have to go out for a while, let's come here first today." The guy with the scar on the corner of his mouth said.

"Are you all going out?"

The rest of the people also looked at the guy with the scar on the corner of his mouth, wondering what he answered the phone.

"What's the matter? The family members of Lao Hu and Xiao Zhou are here. They are in the hospital. I hope we will go there." The man with the scar on his mouth said.

"What are they doing here?"

"Claim the corpse." The man with the scar on the corner of his mouth said, "The big boss has paid them money, so what else can they do? They must take the corpse away."

Yang Xiaobao understood that these people were fellow villagers, and they definitely wanted to see the family members of Lao Hu and Xiao Zhou.

They all turned to look at Yang Xiaobao, wanting to see what Yang Xiaobao meant.

Yang Xiaobao knew that it would be inappropriate not to leave at this time, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then you all do your work first, I'm leaving."

After speaking, he turned around and left the simple room.

He returned to the car, did not start the car directly, but parked on the side of the road, waiting quietly.

After a few more minutes, he saw four people coming to the side of the road, reaching out to hail a taxi.

Yang Xiaobao also started the car at this time, and followed the taxi to the hospital.

When he reached the entrance of the hospital, Yang Xiaobao saw four people got off the taxi and walked straight into the hospital.

Yang Xiaobao found a parking space near the hospital and parked his car, and then entered the hospital.

He found a nurse and asked where the morgue was.

The nurse pointed to the basement and said, "On the second floor, there are signs there."

Yang Xiaobao had just reached the second floor when he heard a miserable cry not far away.

Yang Xiaobao hid behind a pillar, watching a group of people coming out of it. This group of people pushed two carts, and something on the carts was covered by a white cloth.
