The strangers didn't look like they were here for an appointment, as they were changing clothes downstairs, dressed as chefs and cleaners, as if they were here to work.

Kang Yuliang seemed to be negotiating with those people, and by the time Xu Tian and Teacher Jin went down, Kang Yuliang had already dismissed those people.

Xu Tian counted it, there were eight people in total, all of them were middle-aged men and women, they lined up and walked up the stairs, their faces were very stable, and it could be seen that these people should have come here to work.

"Is it someone you hired?" Teacher Jin asked Kang Yuliang.

"They're here to cook." Kang Yuliang said.

"Are these local villagers? They don't look like people from a mountain village. Xu Tian asked.

Kang Yuliang didn't answer Xu Tian's words, and followed those people upstairs with a look of contempt.

Xu Tian was very unhappy with Kang Yuliang's performance, and the enthusiastic Kang Yuliang before seemed to be another person, which inevitably made Xu Tian feel like he wanted to meet another Kang Yuliang.

"Is this guy really Kang Yuliang? It's not going to be another imposter! Xu Tian looked at Kang Yuliang's back and said.

"Don't think too much, where are there so many imposters! It's just that he may have acted in front of us before, but he didn't show his true face. Teacher Jin said.

"That's it! But do you dare to eat the food cooked by these people? Xu Tian said.

"What is there you don't dare to eat? I'm hungry for a long time, and as soon as you start eating, you don't have to think about anything, just eat. Teacher Jin said.

"Do you know anything about it? How do I think you're not nervous at all? Xu Tian asked.

"What's there to be nervous about? Now in this environment, we are like imprisoned birds, we can't escape, we can only be slaughtered, I don't believe that there will be people behind the scenes who use poison to deal with us, so you can rest assured! Teacher Jin said.

Although Teacher Jin said this, Xu Tian still felt uneasy, and there was another thing that made Xu Tian feel a little strange, what did those people do upstairs again? Isn't there a kitchen on the ground floor?

Xu Tian only took a cursory look at this hall before, and after a closer look, there was really only a straight and spacious hall, not to mention the kitchen, not even the bathroom.

At this time, Xu Tian couldn't help but sigh, did he have to climb to the seventh floor if he wanted to go to the toilet? Instead of such a troublesome matter, why not call everyone upstairs?

Thinking about it now, it was useless, Xu Tian glanced at the hall and found that Hongmei was sitting alone in the corner, so Xu Tian tried to approach Hongmei, wanting to ask something from Hongmei's mouth.

When she walked to Hongmei's side, before Xu Tian could speak, Hongmei pulled out a chair and motioned for Xu Tian to sit in front of her.

"What shall I call you? Aunt Hong? Xu Tian said.

"Whatever you want! I'm here to give you a message this time, and Sitong has something for me to bring to you. Hongmei said.

"Sitong? What does she want to say to me? Xu Tian asked in a skeptical tone, because Xu Tiangang and Sitong had not been separated for a long time, Hongmei's words couldn't help but make Xu Tian suspicious, if Sitong had anything to say, why didn't he say it to Xu Tian in the forest? But you have to wait for the red girl to speak?

"Regarding the case committed by Sitong in her hometown, she said she was very sorry." Hongmei said.

Xu Tian's mind suddenly muffled, the most worrying thing came, could it be that the case in his hometown really had nothing to do with Hongmei?

"Didn't you do the case in your hometown? Are you here to overturn my reasoning? Xu Tian asked.

"There are a lot of suspicious points in that case, and you haven't found out clearly, but you have successfully walked into the trap I set." Hongmei said.

"What do you mean to say...... Are all the crimes against you untenable? Sitong is the murderer behind the scenes? Xu Tian asked.

"I took the blame for Sitong at that time." Hongmei said.

"No way, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open! And even if the murder in the village was done by Sitong, the cases from 20 years ago and 28 years ago can't be separated from you, right? Xu Tian asked.

"You can find out the plot of the case carefully, I don't think you fully understood the case at the time, and immediately broke into the trap I arranged, about me and Xu Ling swapping identities, what do you think the success rate will be?" Hongmei said.

"The Aunt Xu I saw at the entrance of the village is indeed your ......" Speaking of this, Xu Tian's body seemed to have been struck by lightning. Could it be ...... Are you deceiving me together? ”

"Have you thought of the crux of the matter? The Aunt Xu you saw at the commissary at the entrance of the village, there has never been an outsider around her. Hongmei said.

Xu Tian thought of this matter, when he saw Aunt Xu in the commissary, the only people who appeared around her were Huang Quan and Xiao Ai, both of whom might help Hongmei to lie, if it wasn't for Xiao Ai's relationship with the mysterious man named Yu Yi before, Xu Tian would not have thought of this layer.

"But you participated in Sitong as Aunt Xu...... That is, Dashuang's wedding at that time, I remember that you were present at the time, and when we finally accused you in Dashuang's house, the villagers were also present, if Aunt Xu at the entrance of the village was the real Aunt Xu, how could so many villagers not recognize you? Xu Tian said.

"This is where you fail, you don't forget the villagers' own conditions, as well as the environment of the commissary, and the people around Aunt Xu." Hongmei said.

"What do you mean ......" Xu Tian finally figured it out, if what Hongmei said was true, then it was really possible that the villagers could not distinguish Hongmei and Xu Ling, at that time Aunt Xu had an adopted daughter by her side, that is, Xiao Ai, if in most cases it was Xiao Ai who looked at the stall in the commissary, then Aunt Xu and the villagers naturally had less contact, and Aunt Xu returned to the village with a failed marriage, in the countryside, this reason for returning to the village was the most unsightly thing, If Aunt Xu always avoids the villagers under this excuse, it is also a normal thing in the eyes of the villagers, because the villagers will always avoid them because Aunt Xu can't raise her head in front of them.

But Xu Tian thought about it again, at that time, the evidence and logic had already pushed Hongmei to the murderer's accusation, Xu Tian was very confident in his reasoning, and now Hongmei herself overturned his reasoning in front of Xu Tian, which is the biggest shame for a detective.

But these reasons that Hongmei said are very logical, are they true? Xu Tian's heart also began to mumble.

"Don't you believe it? If you think there's something wrong, think about it. Hongmei said.
