There were three bunk beds in the narrow simple room, one of which was empty, while the other two bunk beds were occupied by people.
Hearing the footsteps, they all turned their heads and looked.
Yang Xiaobao was a little surprised when he saw their appearance.
Their eyes were empty, but full of fear.
When they saw the contractor and Yang Xiaobao coming in, these people didn't even move, and their expressions didn't even change.
In Yang Xiaobao's opinion, they were like four living dead.
"Get up, get up, don't lie down."
The suitcase contractor shouted to them.
"Mr. Li, when are you going to pay us our wages? We have to go home and we don't have travel expenses." said a shirtless man wearing big pants with a scar on the corner of his mouth.
"That's right, we don't work anymore, why don't you pay us?" Another person said, this man's face is darker than others.
"I'll definitely pay you wages, don't worry." said the foreman surnamed Li.
Then he pointed at Yang Xiaobao and said: "This is Mr. Yang, who was brought by the big boss to investigate the death of Lao Hu and Xiao Zhou."
The four people stared at Yang Xiaobao, their eyes still empty.
"Mr. Li, is this little brother also a policeman?" asked the man lying on the lower bunk of the bed inside. This man was an old man in his fifties and had basically lost all his hair.
"I'm not a policeman." Yang Xiaobao said calmly.
"Not the police? The police said he committed suicide. Why did the big boss send you here?" asked the man with a scar on his mouth.
The foreman surnamed Li snorted and said, "You have so many questions. Whatever Mr. Yang asks you later, just answer him honestly."
Then he turned to Yang Xiaobao and said: "Mr. Yang, these people came with the two deceased people. They are all fellow villagers in the same place, and they live together. If you want to know anything, just ask them."
"good."
"Then, you guys talk first. I have something else to do so I won't accompany you." As he said this, the contractor surnamed Li hurriedly walked outside.
"Mr. Li, don't leave. When will our wages be paid? If you don't pay us in the next two days, I will sue you!" said the guy with the scar on his mouth.
The foreman surnamed Li waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you urge me, I will definitely give it to you."
After saying that, he walked out of the simple room.
Yang Xiaobao looked at these people, nodded, and asked, "Are you and the deceased fellow villagers?"
These people were silent, and no one answered his words.
The dormitory was temporarily quiet.
There were a few flies flying around the leftovers on a folding table, making a buzzing sound.
Yang Xiaobao waited quietly for them to speak.
Finally, the slightly older man in his fifties said: "We are their fellow villagers, from the same village."
"You are all from the same village, and you live together. You should know very well how they died."
Yang Xiaobao found that after he said this, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.
"How did you die? Wasn't it suicide?" said the dark-faced man, "The police have investigated it, and the surveillance on the construction site has also seen it. It is suicide."
"Yes, it was suicide. Those two guys sneaked out in the middle of the night while we were sleeping and did that kind of thing." said the man with the scar at the corner of his mouth.
Yang Xiaobao frowned and said: "The night they had the accident, you didn't notice it at all?"
"No." Several people said in unison.
"Then before the accident, did they do anything or behave abnormally?"
Several people looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No."
But Yang Xiaobao could see 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 sighed secretly.
It seems that this matter is really troublesome.
What made Yang Xiaobao feel even more strange was that the person lying on the top bunk of the bed inside was always facing inward and motionless, as if he was asleep.
But Yang Xiaobao knew that it was impossible for him to fall asleep with such a loud noise.
He only saw that the man was wearing a white vest, and couldn't see anything else.
Just when Yang Xiaobao was about to ask something more, a cell phone rang.
Yang Xiaobao saw the guy with the scar at the corner of his mouth pick up his cell phone from the bedside, glanced at it, his expression changed, and he looked at Yang Xiaobao again.
He seemed to feel that Yang Xiaobao's presence would affect his ability to answer the phone.
But Yang Xiaobao stood there with a calm expression, with no intention of leaving at all.
The guy with the scar at 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 sure what was said on the other side of the phone, he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll be there in a minute."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, we have to go out for a while, so let's stop here today." said the guy with the scar at the corner of his mouth.
"You all want to go out?"
The rest of the people also looked at the guy with the scar at the corner of his mouth, and wanted to know what he was talking about on the phone.
"What's the matter? The family members of Lao Hu and Xiao Zhou are here. They are in the hospital. They want us to go there." said the man with a scar on his mouth.
"What are they here for?"
"Claim the body." The man with a scar on the corner of his mouth said, "The big boss has paid them money, what else can they do? They must take the body away."
Yang Xiaobao understood that these people were fellow villagers and they must want to meet the families 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 guys go about your business first while I leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left the simple room.
When he returned to the car, he did not start the car directly, but parked on the side of the road and waited quietly.
After several more minutes, he saw four people coming to the roadside and hailing a taxi.
Yang Xiaobao also started the car at this time and followed the taxi towards the hospital.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Yang Xiaobao saw four people getting out of the taxi and walking straight into the hospital.
Yang Xiaobao found a parking space near the hospital, 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 below, there are signs there."
Yang Xiaobao had just reached the second floor below when he heard a miserable cry not far away.
Yang Xiaobao hid behind a pillar and watched a group of people walking out of it. These people were pushing two carts. There was something on the cart covered by a white cloth.
