My Lady Is Not A Demon

Murder?

Hearing the words in front of Li Tang, Chen Mu wanted to complain.

Homicide happened when I first came to Beijing. Is daddy Conan? Wherever you go, there will be dead people, no evil star.

"What case did you talk about specifically?"

Chen Mu asked.

Since there are six doors to be sent out, it shows that this case is a bit tricky.

Li Tangqian smiled bitterly: "In fact, it's not a complicated case. Someone reported the case last night, saying that a female corpse was found in the Chenghuang Temple in the Southern District. Later, after investigation by the government, the identity of the female corpse belonged to a talented scholar. wife.

Moreover, the murderer had already been caught, and the other party forcibly took the woman abducted because of lust for beauty, and prepared to assault at the Chenghuang Temple.

As a result, when the woman was struggling, she stabbed the murderer with the hosta. The murderer became angry and pushed the woman, causing the woman's head to hit the sharp corner of the edge of the stone table, and she died on the spot. "

Chen Mu frowned, "Since the murderer has been caught, why are there six doors going out?"

Li Tang looked around in front of him, and whispered: "The identity of the murderer is a bit unusual. He is a relative of the King of Pingyang. The government obviously didn't want to take care of it, so the case was handed over to six doors to handle."

Is this a dumpling?

Chen Mu also criticized the government's practices.

I don't want to care about this, and I don't want to care about that. I know how to throw the pot all day. Sitting in that position has a fart.

"Take me to see."

Chen Mu took out the tokens for catching heads from the six doors and hung them on his waist.

Looking at another Summoner's monitoring identity token on the opponent's waist, the corner of Li Tang's mouth twitched a few times without saying anything. He took Chen Mu to the Southern District.

...

In front of the Chenghuang Temple, there are already many people who eat melons onlookers and talk about it.

When he arrived at the scene of the murder case, Chen Mu saw a body covered in white cloth at the entrance of the temple, and a talented person of about 30 years old was howling and crying next to him.

On one side of the temple, a pale, seemingly vain young man sat on the ground, his eyes blank.

With chains on his feet, he should be the relative of Pingyang Hou's family.

There were three other servants in shackles nearby.

The six doors outside the door were handing over the case with the people from the capital government office. After seeing Chen Mu's arrival, a man with a hooked nose frowned slightly and cupped fist: "My lord."

At the banquet yesterday, Chen Mu knew this arrester, who was a foreman of the foreign government.

Call Wang Fafa.

The name is strange, but the qualifications in six doors are relatively high, and it is also one of the very few people who did not drink Chen Mujiu at the banquet yesterday.

However, he didn't see Chen Mu directly, he was a little arrogant.

"How's it going?" Chen Mu asked.

Wang Fafa handed him the file in his hand: "The case has been handed over, and there is basically no problem. We will wait for the inner office to make a decision before coming to a conclusion."

"Didn't you send another to examine the corpse?"

Chen Mu took a look at the dossier and asked casually.

"This... is unnecessary."

Wang Fafa smiled faintly, "The government office's work is no worse than our six doors. The woman was indeed killed by a sharp stone in the back of the head, and I have investigated the scene and it is consistent with the government office's conclusion."

"Is it deliberate homicide, or accidental manslaughter in the process of committing the violation?"

Chen Mu stared at him sharply.

Wang Fa was startled.

He glanced at the man handcuffed in chains, and said softly: "In the preliminary judgment, it should be an accidental manslaughter, but in any case, he is a murderer. This cannot be changed."

"How to judge?"

"..."

Wang Fafa showed a weird look on his face and said with a wry smile: "My lord, this is not something we can decide. The case will be sent to the inner office for further sorting, and then sent to the Criminal Ministry."

Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Chen Mu's unfamiliar business ability.

Anyway, I used to be the head of the county government, and I didn't even understand such a familiar process.

Might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

Chen Mu naturally saw the disdain in the other's eyes, and smiled faintly: "Since it is going to be sent to the Criminal Department in the end, why does the government have to send the case to us, can't they send it directly?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fafa, who had just shown contempt, was taken aback.

He glanced at Chen Mu deeply, and no longer concealed: "My lord, there is generally an extension period for cases handed over to six doors. The period of homicide cases is longer than that of other county offices and government offices, and can extend for about ten days at the longest. ."

Chen Mu understood.

It seemed that someone was intervening behind him and asked the government office to hand over the case to six doors, wanting to delay some time.

If you delay more time, you can operate behind the scenes.

And the person behind this scene is obviously inseparable from the Pingyang Palace.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chen Mu patted Wang Fafa on the shoulder and walked towards the corpse.

Wang Fafa glanced at the patted shoulder, his expression appeared a little complicated, and he muttered to himself, "It's not easy to deal with."

Xiucai was still howling and crying, his eyes swollen into walnuts.

It makes people feel compassionate.

According to the case file, the name of the scholar is Cha Dongqing, who was admitted last year. He looks quite handsome and met his wife two years ago.

His wife used to be Miss from a down-and-out merchant.

The couple are extremely affectionate after marriage.

Chen Mu knelt down and lifted the white cloth. The scholar wanted to stop, but when he saw Chen Mu's public uniform, his hand retracted again.

A woman has soft facial features, a slender figure, and a ladylike temperament. She is also about 20 years old.

"The corpse has basically developed to the whole body..."

Chen Mu pressed a few times, then grabbed the woman's cold and stiff fingers and pressed hard, but the corpse spots did not completely fade away.

He opened the woman's shirt again and turned over the corpse, with new corpses forming on his back.

Wang Fafa came behind and looked silent.

The Xiucai saw Chen Mu take off his wife's clothes and looked over and over again, and wanted to speak a few times, but in the end he didn't have the guts to speak.

"The pupils are dry and the transparency has begun to lose..."

Chen Mu closed the woman's eyelids and murmured, "Preliminary inference, the death time should be three to four hours, that is, six to eight hours. There are traces of violations there, and the torn wounds are obvious..."

Wang Fafa said: "The body was found by the night watchman at the ugly four quarters last night."

Four moments when ugly?

Chen Mu frowned, and secretly inferred: "That's about two o'clock in the morning, and now it's about eight o'clock, it is calculated that when the night watchman found the body, the woman's death did not take long."

According to the case, the murderer was named Du Muqi.

During his interrogation, he admitted that he was in the temple with the woman at one o'clock in the morning last night, and that it was his servant who took the woman abducted.

In this way, the motive of committing the crime is consistent with the time of Death.

There is indeed a fatal wound on the back of the woman's head, which is diamond-shaped, which is also consistent with the symptoms of head hitting the sharp edge of the stone table.

"There should be no problem..."

After further observation, Chen Mu found no other abnormalities, so he had to cover it with a white cloth, but as soon as the cover was closed, Chen Mu's pupils shrank slightly.

and many more……

He suddenly lifted the white cloth and leaned down to examine the woman's nasal cavity carefully...

After careful inspection for a while, he took out a white handkerchief, twisted the corners into a pinch, and plunged it into the woman's nasal cavity.

After a few turns, Chen Mu slowly pulled out the corners of the twisted handkerchief.

It was stained with some brown-green creatures and sparse sediment.

Chen Mu tightened his brows, his eyes flashed: "Algae and mud, this woman should have fallen into the lake before she died..."

But judging from the symptoms of the corpse, it does not look like drowning.

Chen Mu sighed lightly.

It is a pity that it is difficult to dissect a corpse when handling a case in this world, even if the dissection must be reviewed by the upper level.

It can be a big crime if you rush to solve it.

After all, the dead are bigger.

"My lord, is there a problem?"

After seeing Chen Mu's strange behavior, Wang Fafa frowned and asked.

Chen Mu didn't speak, he covered the white cloth and entered the temple.

The temple is a bit old, and the incense in the incense burner is scattered and sparse. Coupled with the dust on the Buddha statue, it is rarely cleaned on weekdays.

Chen Mu checked the ground first, but unfortunately the scene was cleared.

He came to the corner of the stone table stained with blood, and after comparing it in his heart, he determined that the corner of the table had caused a fatal blow to the woman.

"what is the problem?"

Chen Mu had some doubts.

In all likelihood, a woman has fallen into the lake, but her clothes are dry and her hair has been combed, indicating that she was rescued after she fell into the lake, or climbed onto the shore by herself, then changed her clothes and cleaned her body. ...

But after cleaning, the oral cavity and nasal cavity will be cleaned. Why does this woman even have mud residue in the nasal cavity?

The only certainty at the moment is that Death was caused by the corners of the stone table.

"Foreman Wang, are there any other people's confessions?"

Chen Mu asked Wang Fa who was following him, and pointed to the three servants next to Du Muqi.

Wang Fafa shook his head: "I have been interrogated, but have not yet recorded it. I plan to sort it out after I go back. If the adults need it, it's better to interrogate them now."

"No need, go back and talk about it."

Chen Mu smiled faintly.

After walking out of the temple, Chen Mu looked at the scholar, his face was sad, his eyes were sunken, his hair was scattered, and he looked rather decadent.

Expressions can be disguised, but emotions cannot be concealed.

Judging from the grief that the other party is more than heartbroken, it is obvious that he has a lot of sadness and pain for his wife's death.

"When did he come?" Chen Mu asked:

"This guy went to a tavern with friends to drink last night, and he was so drunk. At the end of this morning, the government officials found him still asleep in a laneway."

Wang Fafa said helplessly. "When he learned of his wife's death, he cried till now."

It's no wonder that when the corpse was examined just now, the other party smelled of alcohol.

Chen Mu suddenly said, "In other words, he did not return all night last night, and as a result his wife was taken into the temple by Master Du Young's servant."

"Yes, and the three servants used dazzling smoke, so they didn't alarm the neighbors."

Wang Fafa nodded.

drink wine.

Did not return overnight.

His wife was taken into captivity.

Chen Mu looked at the haystack under the eaves and thought for a while, took out a small book and wrote a few words, and asked: "Did you ask a friend who drank with him last night."

"I asked, they did drink a lot at the time, and didn't go home until the third watch."

Wang Fafa replied.

In other words, witnesses are all present.

Chen Mu closed the notebook and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's do this first, you will deal with the rest, and please show me the confession after it is finished."

"Humble job understands."

Wang Fafa nodded quickly.
