Kapitel 272: Chapter 272 A Farce to Buy a Shop (1)_1

The woman's sudden death in prison only added to the already baffling and enigmatic case.

Rumors spread among the people, with some saying the family had been claimed by malevolent spirits, others suggesting the family's Feng Shui was at fault, and a few suspected that the family had been hiding something deadly...

In any case, this case became a topic of conversation for many, and wherever one went, there were mentions of it. Meanwhile, the residents who had lived nearby felt a creeping fear, with some unable to bear it and relocating their families, others inviting monks and priests to perform rituals, all in the hopes of securing peace at home.

Should they discover any symptoms similar to the poisoning of that family of seven, they were to immediately investigate the cause and report back.
