My Lady Is Not A Demon

The county hall.

Since the concubine, the most beloved concubine of the grandfather of the county, was driven to another yard because of derailment, this family yard has been deserted a lot.

Gao Yuanchun is now fifty six, and his original wife passed away due to a dystocia.

The son, who was finally saved, also stumbled and fell into the water when he was six years old when he was out for fun.

Coupled with the fact that his parents have passed away one after another, and the other relatives are very remote, and they do nothing but communicate with each other, Gao Yuanchun can be regarded as a real ‘lonely family’.

Chen Mu came to the inner hall and saw the old man with white temples watering the flowers.

It seems to be very leisurely, but the complexion is worse than yesterday. The word'chuan' between the eyebrows tightly makes the wrinkles deeper and deeper.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Gao Yuanchun threw down the kettle, took the towel from Chen Mu and asked softly.

Chen Mu knew the true meaning of the other party's question, and said with a smile: "It's indeed a genius doctor Duan's medicine, it's really powerful."

"It's better for young people to exercise restraint."

Hearing Chen Mu's answer, Gao Yuanchun rarely smiled.

He picked up a dossier from the table and handed it to Chen Mu, and said lightly: "I want to come from Maling County, you have to take a look first."

Chen Mu respectfully took it and opened it to take a closer look.

This is the case of the fire in Mu Xianger's house yesterday:

At about two noon yesterday, someone found a fire in Mu Xiang'er's house. The fire had already spread halfway, so the discoverer hurriedly called other neighbors to help put out the fire.

It's a pity that the fire was so big that the house was already burnt up after it was extinguished.

During the search, the Yamen found three burned bodies, which were confirmed to be Mu Xianger's parents and Big Brother.

After careful investigation by the government officials, some coal ash and slag were found on the scene. It was preliminarily judged that the fire was spontaneously ignited by coal on the mountain, causing sparks to float to the haystacks next to Mu Xianger's house at the foot of the mountain, causing a fire...an accidental fire !

"This is really nonsense."

Halfway through the dossier, Chen Mu frowned.

He hastily scanned the following statement and returned the file.

"What do you think?"

Gao Yuanchun's respect for Chen Mu far surpassed that of Master Kotou around him, and he discussed many cases with him.

Chen Mu filtered the information in his mind before speaking softly:

"If Mu Xiang'er didn't die, perhaps the accidental fire could be used to preliminarily determine the case, but now all the family are dead, and the death time currently seems to be only one day apart. This is inevitably a bit strange..."

Gao Yuanchun nodded slowly: "It is true, then do you see any problems."

"First of all, judging from the description in the dossier, when it was discovered that Mu Xiang'er's house was on fire, the fire had spread halfway, indicating that Mu Xiang'er's house was in an extremely remote place, otherwise the neighbors would have discovered it if it caught fire at that time."

"But I remember that as early as a year ago, the court issued subsidies to poor households to help local poor people build houses and resettle all the remote households together. Only the Mu Xianger family has not moved, which is a bit strange..."

When Chen Mu said this, he deliberately slowed down his tone.

Gao Yuanchun smiled faintly: "Although Mrs. Ya Zhao in Maling County is a bit greedy, he is also a smart person. He doesn't dare to touch this kind of money. You should go back to the case."

Yes, I wanted to use this to praise you as an upright official, but I didn't shoot the flattery.

Chen Mu nodded and continued:

"The dossier said that when the neighbors came to put out the fire, the house was burnt down, and all the furniture and articles in the house were basically burned out.

It can be guessed that Mu Xiang'er's home is too far away from the nearest neighbor, and there is a lot of time delay on the road, or there is a lack of water around, or the structure of the house is flammable, or... there are a lot of flammable materials in the house.

Of course, this can only be determined after going to the site to investigate, after all, there is no detailed description in the dossier. "

Chen Mu didn't dare to say something to death.

Gao Yuanchun sneered: "Sometimes it's a fool to deal with cases and do things foolishly, so that this official can be more beautiful. The dossier you read is actually ready to be dealt with, and it doesn't need to be too detailed."

Chen Mu was quite moved by the candid explanation of the county grandfather.

After all, there are some things that can't be said on the surface.

In this era of backward investigative technology, the people at the bottom are confused to handle the case, the people above are confused to close the case, and the people are confused. This is enough.

Take the "Poisonous Mushroom" incident in Ju Chunlou a month ago.

"Anything else?"

"Have!"

Chen Mu paused, and his tone intensified: "The most important point was ignored in the dossier. That is why Mu Xiang'er's parents and Big Brother did not escape from the house after the fire broke out!

Did he fall asleep? Or is it poisoned? Or maybe the doors and windows of the house are all sealed?

In addition, the conclusion of coal spontaneous combustion is too far-fetched..."

Chen Mu originally planned to explain the phenomenon of coal spontaneous combustion with scientific evidence, but thought that the other party could not understand it, so he had to give up.

Alas, it's hard to find a good friend for a Miyoshi student who has received nine years of compulsory education.

Gao Yuanchun said lightly: "In other words, this family's death is directly related to Mu Xiang'er's death."

"At least it seems so for now."

Chen Mu nodded.

Gao Yuanchun stared at the dossier on the table in silence, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, he went to the bookcase and spread out a piece of paper, took a pen to write a few lines, folded it and handed it to Chen Mu:

"Give it to Master Zhao from Maling County, and he will cooperate with you."

Chen Mu was stunned: "My lord, this is..."

Gao Yuanchun didn't want to say anything more and waved his hand: "As much as you can check, if you meet the three of you yesterday, just tell the truth."

"Yes."

Chen Mu took the lead.

Seeing Chen Mu standing still, Gao Yuanchun said: "I know what you want to ask, you can check it first, if you really encounter bottleneck, come and ask me."

Can't you tell me directly?

What kind of mysterious.

Chen Mu was slanderous in his heart, but didn't dare to say anything further, and he respectfully retired after carefully storing the letterhead.

When I walked outside the courtyard, I found a beautiful figure leaning against the door.

Is a young woman.

The appearance is sweet and moving, the curvy figure is unspeakably beautiful, but the woman's face is haggard and tears are stained.

It's the little concubine who greened the county grandfather.

She seemed to be looking for the county grandfather, and when she saw Chen Mu, she froze for a while, opened her mouth to open her mouth, but she looked sad, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

Chen Mu didn't say anything, and passed by.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and slapped the woman's smooth and delicate face with a slap in the face.

Then drove away.

The woman jade hand stroking her face, her expression stunned.

When Gao Yuanchun in the inner courtyard saw this scene, he sighed and laughed: "The stinky boy is quite grudge, he shakes his eyes in front of me."

After thinking for a moment, he took a note from his sleeve.

It records other men that the concubine has been in contact with in the past three months, time, location, and so on.

Among them, Chen Mu had contact with her concubine seven times, and the number of times she was alone was two...Finally, she also marked out a line: This woman could not court, and she suspected that she had resentment towards Chen Mu?

"Forget it, don't try."

Gao Yuanchun sighed, got up and walked out of the small courtyard, waved to call in two bureaucrats:

"Find a carriage and send this bitch back to the country!"
