My Lady Is Not A Demon

The smell of blood is still strong in the kitchen.

The scene of the homicide case has been quickly sealed off by six door arresters.

After examining the body, Chen Mu cautiously avoided the pool of blood on the ground.

"Death time was within half an hour. There was too much bleeding in the arteries of the neck. The murder weapon was an eviscer. Judging from the wound, the technique and the situation on the scene, it was indeed suicide."

Chen Mu sighed, feeling quite depressed.

Originally, the case had reached a critical step, but this guy actually committed suicide. Am I kidding?

However, it can also be proved that Cha Dongqing was overly sad because of his wife's death, and finally chose to commit suicide. It is estimated that he had struggled before.

"My lord, this is the confession of the people at the scene." Wang Fafa submitted a confession record book.

Chen Mu flipped through a few pages and handed them back.

According to the confession, everyone was busy setting up a mourning hall for the cuckoo at the time, and did not care too much about Cha Dongqing who entered the kitchen.

When he realized that Cha Dongqing was missing, he discovered that the other party had committed suicide.

"Oh shit!"

Chen Mu kicked the wooden cabinet, "It happened to commit suicide at this time."

"My lord, what do you do now."

Wang Fa asked.

Chen Mu rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "There are still many clues to the case. At least it is certain that the husband and wife have been coerced. As for the person behind the scene... the person behind the scene..."

Chen Mu stared at Cha Dongqing's body, pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "Go back to the Yamen first."

...

Returning to the six doors, Chen Mu saw Wang Dameng, who had been beaten up by him before, and several other trappers standing at the door of the side courtyard.

"It seems that all the tasks to explain to you have been completed."

Chen Mu said lightly.

Wang Dameng, with a bruised nose and mouth, looked at Chen Mu, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment, and there was no other expression on his face, and he passed a thick stack of transcripts in his hands:

"My lord, please have a look."

After flipping through the pages, Chen Mu smiled at the corners of his lips: "Not bad."

These six doors are still very capable of catching fast.

At that time, he forced Wang Da to swallow the piece of paper, thinking that the other party hadn't remembered much, but he didn't expect to record it all.

Chen Mu walked in front of the catchers and patted them on the shoulder: "Thanks for your hard work, tomorrow I will invite you to drink when you have time."

After speaking, Chen Mu entered the own office courtyard.

Only Wang Dameng was ignored.

The few catchers looked at each other, looking at Wang Dameng, who was blue-faced, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Pooh!"

Wang Da fiercely spit, and left angrily.

Entering the house, Chen Mu came to check these transcripts before the case.

Wang Fa waited aside.

After seeing Chen Mu's case-handling ability and personal connections, Wang Fafa no longer had any contempt in his heart at this moment, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

He is not a arrogant person, but he is not a pug who licks when he meets his boss.

As long as the boss is capable, he will do his best.

Without the ability, he would also obey the instructions, but just listen to it. As for due diligence, don't even think about it.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Chen Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the transcript.

On July 2nd, the day before yesterday, Cha Dongqing and Du Juan were out for fun. The couple were loving and loving, everything was normal.

The two also went to the Guanyin Temple, presumably to pray for your son.

On the morning of July 3rd (yesterday), the husband and wife set up a stall. They stayed at home in the afternoon, and neighbors can testify.

It can be inferred from this that the person behind the scenes came into contact with them when the couple set up a stall.

Then something may be said or left behind to coerce them.

Chen Mu kept tapping his fingers on the tabletop, muttering to himself: "There are many pedestrians on the street, and customers come to buy things almost every moment in front of the stall. There is no way to investigate."

In this era without surveillance, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the person behind the scenes from the crowd."Maybe the last guest..."

Wang Fafa said, "Since they are being coerced, the couple will definitely close the stall immediately. We only need to check the last customer we contacted."

"It's not."

Chen Mu shook his head, "Cha Dongqing and his wife set up their stalls very regularly, starting at the beginning of the morning (7 o'clock in the morning), and closing the stall at the beginning of the morning (13:00).

According to the dictation of other stall owners, they closed the stall normally, but they spent some time in closing the stall. "

Have a long time?

What did you find?

Wang Fafa thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then there is only one possibility. The person behind the scenes came to the stall to buy something as a guest, and then secretly left something, and only discovered this thing when the couple closed the stall. ."

"Snapped!"

Chen Mu snapped his fingers, "Foreman Wang is very smart."

Being praised by Chen Mu, Wang Fafa was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said: "The humble job is just following the adult's thinking."

Chen Mu smiled, and then said: "It can be seen that the people behind this scene are extremely cautious and do not want to leave a trace. Even what they left is probably destroyed by the Cha Dongqing and his wife."

The room fell into silence.

The warm sunlight spilled from a corner of the window pane, shining on Chen Mu's body, and there was not even a trace of floating dust in the light.

Wang Fafa stared at the transcript of the case, his thick eyebrows frowned.

In this way, there is really no way to investigate who is behind the scenes.

At present, both husband and wife are dead, and all the physical evidence and personal evidence are gone, and there is no clue to find the mysterious person.

Wang Fafa pondered for a moment, and said softly: "There is a little humble duty that feels very contradictory. Since that person is afraid to leave traces, then after Dujuan is forced to have a relationship, he should kill the woman to avoid revealing his identity. Why..."

"Good question."

Chen Mu, who had already sorted out the context of the case, burst into bright eyes: "It shows that the mysterious person has a secret that keeps the husband and wife from speaking out, and even if he releases the cuckoo, the cuckoo does not dare to say it."

"A couple of ordinary people, what secrets can they have in the hands of the other party? Even chaste is willing to contribute."

Wang Fafa felt a little weird.

Judging from the situation of the two, Dujuan belongs to the kind of extremely conservative woman who values ​​chastity more than life.

But now she took the initiative to dedicate herself.

Could it be...

Wang Fafa's beautiful eyes lit up: "For my own husband! In fact, it is her husband who is really being coerced!"

"Then his husband can keep any secrets, and can only watch his own wife go to accompany others."

A line of arc is slowly drawn from the corner of Chen Mu's lips.

Wang Fafa fell into thinking.

He picked up the dossier and looked at it, and finally he was not sure: "Maybe... what happened to her husband, nobody knew about it, but the mysterious person knew about it."

"Almost, but ordinary small cases are not so coerced."

Chen Mu picked up his teacup.

Wang Fafa raised the teapot on the table, filled it with tea winkingly, and said, "So it's a big case? But at the foot of the capital, if a big case really happened, it would be impossible for an ordinary citizen of Cha Dongqing to be fine."

"Let me remind you."

Chen Mu leaned back in his chair, "Cha Dongqing is a scholar, and it will be Qiu Wei in two months. He needs an exam."

Wang Fa was startled.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of something, and the hairs on his neck stood up.

future!

The future of scholars!

Wang Fafa excitedly said: "Zha Dongqing must have something to be grasped behind the scenes and unable to take the exam. For an aspiring scholar, losing his qualification for the scientific examination is tantamount to ruining his future."

"If there are no other criminal cases, what should be the handle to make Cha Dongqing so scared?"

Chen Mu sipped his tea and asked slowly.

"Cheating!"

Wang Fafa blurted out, "Cha Dongqing might cheat when he was trying to gain fame as a scholar, and was caught behind the scenes. According to the Dayan Law, any examinee who cheats will be deprived of his eligibility for future scientific examinations."

However, Chen Mu shook his head: "The possibility is too small, and even if you cheat, it has been so long, so what can I keep?"

There was no monitoring equipment in the ancient examination room.

Even if the cheating is successful, the evidence will be destroyed long ago, and who would be foolishly waiting for others to find it.

Wang Fa choked and was splashed with cold water.

If it weren't for cheating, what would be the trick to disqualify Cha Dongqing from the exam, and possibly even deprive the scholar of fame?

Gradually, Wang Fafa's pupils shrank, looking at Chen Mu and spit out two words:

"Counterfeit!"

For imperial examinations, the number of candidates and the number of admissions in different provinces have different limits, and the admission regulations are also different.

And some candidates fake their household registrations in other provinces for the sake of opportunistic tricks.

This is ‘professional’!

Thinking of this, Wang Fafa cupped fist said: "My lord, I happen to have a friend in the Ministry of Household as a errand, so I will check."

"good."

Chen Mu nodded.

Although it has been determined, for the sake of insurance, it is better to check it out.

But obviously, Chen Mu's speculation is correct.

When Wang Fafa returned with a solemn expression, Chen Mu knew the result.

Wang Fafa submitted the results of the Investigation Office of the Ministry of Households: "Cha Dongqing originally replaced his cousin's household registration from a distant place. After forging and conducting the examination, there is indeed a false registration!"

Chen Mu sighed: "Now understand, why Cha Dongqing and his wife were under such coercion, but they did not dare to report the crime or resist."

Wang Fafa was in a complicated mood.

Once the counterfeiting is reported, it will be found out.

At that time, Zha Dongqing couldn't help being deprived of his scholarly fame, and would not be allowed to take exams in the future, and even would be imprisoned.

The future is gone, and life is ruined.

Before that, Du Juan might not have known about her husband's impersonation.

But her feelings for her husband are extremely deep. For her husband, she is willing to go to the Lin family compound alone to serve the people behind the scenes.

However, Cha Dongqing could only watch his wife being humiliated and drink boring wine by himself.

However, Cha Dongqing and the people behind the scenes have overlooked one point, that is, Dujuan, who has been well-taught since childhood, is a very traditional woman who values ​​chastity very seriously.

She is willing to sacrifice herself to save her husband, but she is also unwilling to face her husband with a ruined body.

After losing his virginity, he chose to dive and commit suicide.

"This Cha Dongqing is really not a thing!" Wang Fa cursed, "For my own sake, I watched his wife fall into the fire pit."

But when he thought of Cha Dongqing suicide, Wang Fa felt unspeakable.

In any case, Cha Dongqing does have deep feelings for his wife, and it is probably out of shame and self-blame that he chose to commit suicide.

"These are actually superficial cases. The only thing that is puzzling is that the people behind the scenes are obviously unwilling to make murders, otherwise they would not be so cautious before."

Chen Mu said indifferently, "Dujuan's suicide is beyond the plans of those behind the scenes, so... he must find a way to make Dujuan a reasonable death, avoiding the government's investigation, even if it is a trace of vigilance."

"Reasonable Death?"

Wang Fafa's eyes widened, "My lord means..."

Chen Mu said indifferently: "After being rescued, Du Juan might have fallen into a suspended animation, causing the people behind the scenes to mistakenly believe that he had killed him.

You have to understand that if lives are made at the feet of the emperor, rigorous investigations are bound to be carried out.

So he must have a new plan.

Either the destruction of the corpse and the ruins becomes an unsolved case, but Cha Dongqing is still outside, and the Yamen Charon in the capital is not a vegetarian, and the risk is too great.

Either... start another case, make Du Juan a reasonable death, and draw everyone's attention away. "

Wang Fafa took a breath, and said in shock: "Du Muqi!"

From this point of view, Du Muqi is very likely to commit crimes on behalf of others.

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "I guess, Du Muqi was actually intimidated by the people behind the scenes, forcing him to kidnap the cuckoo, and then create a murder in the Chenghuang Temple!

It's just that Dujuan suddenly came alive during the process of being humiliated, which was tantamount to carrying on the case perfectly.

In this way, Du Muqi's murder was established, and the motive was also established.

A few days ago, many people saw Du Muqi molesting the cuckoo in the stall, so it is no surprise that he did this. "

Wang Fafa wondered: "Killing is not a trivial matter, why is Du Muqi willing to commit such a serious crime."

"This is about to ask him himself." Chen Mu sighed lightly.

Wang Fa frowned and suggested: "My lord, now Du Muqi is being held in a prison, or we..."

"No, wait two days."

"Wait two days?" Wang Fafa frowned.

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Sometimes it is not a good thing to handle the case too quickly, besides, the water behind the case is still deep, so don't worry."Wang Fafa is not a fool, he knows everything.

Chen Mu has only officially started work on the first day. If a big case turns out all at once, it would be...not a good thing for Leng Tianying.

After all, as the second-in-command, you must know how to converge if you are too capable.

Wang Fafa hesitated for a moment, and said worriedly: "My lord, I'm afraid that Du Muqi will die in the prison in a humble position."

Now that the facts of the case are clear, there is a high probability that Du Muqi was instigated by others, for fear that someone behind the scenes will suddenly kill Du Muqi.

Chen Mu gently shook his head: "No, Du Muqi has a special status. If he died in the prison, he would get into serious trouble."

After being reminded by Chen Mu, Wang Fafa realized that he was in a daze.

These are six doors.

Prisoners like Du Muqi will definitely be guarded strictly, and Leng Tianying cannot afford any risk.

"My lord, humble duty has a bold idea. I don't know if it should be said or not."

Wang Fafa said suddenly.

Chen Mu glanced at him with a weird smile: "You want to say, will the person behind this scene be from the Pingyang Palace, right?"

Wang Fa chuckled, but didn't deny it.

Chen Mu sighed slightly: "It is possible, but any case will not be known until the final investigation. Maybe you think it is it, but the result is not it?"

Wang Fafa thoughtfully.

...

It wasn't until around six in the afternoon that Chen Mu left the six doors.

He made a summary of the Dujuan case and asked Wang Fafa to write it into a file and bind it up.

At present, the case seems to be progressing rapidly, but in fact it has really fallen into a quagmire and has become confusing, especially involving the Pingyang Prince's Mansion.

For the death of Du Juan and Cha Dongqing, I was quite moved.

Although Cha Dongqing is self-made, but the people behind the scenes ruined an originally happy family for selfish desires, which undoubtedly makes people angry.

Especially after Chen Mu sorted out the case, he basically determined that Dujuan was pregnant.

He even suspected that the reason why the people behind the scenes found Cuckoo was because they knew she was pregnant. If this is the case, it would be too scumbag.

Unconsciously, Chen Mu came to Chengbei Xiangjie again.

When passing by Hong Dalang's house, Chen Mu suddenly remembered the accident in the morning and looked up at the second floor window.

The windows are closed.

Well, it's safe.

The Yinlian girl did not support the window sash with a short stick.

But thinking about it, I'm too worried, how can I get smashed every day, unless the other party really deliberately finds fault.

But is it possible?

Just thinking about it, the door of the roadside house opened abruptly, and then a basin of water poured over it like an opened cloak.

Chen Mu wanted to hide, but there was no room.

So... Chen Mu got wet.

The drops of water ticked down, like a picture of a ‘macho man out in a bath’.

Chen Mu slowly turned his head, and saw Hong Dalang's wife Yinlian looking at him in amazement, her mouth slightly opened.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Kang Dang——

I don't know how long it took, the woman named Yinlian dropped the tub in her hand and ran over to wipe the water stains on Chen Mu's body with her sleeves.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... I'm sorry..."

The woman was about to cry.

Judging from her panicked expression, it is really hard to believe that she did it on purpose.

"Tell me first, what water is it?"

Chen Mu pushed the woman away, expressionless.

Woman with wet hair disorder.

A little bit of hot water oozes from the pink neck, and the pale ivory skin reveals a faint blue line.

You can tell what she was doing just now.

"..."

The woman's eyes were red, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Mu glanced at the Wang Po tea shop behind him, with a slightly weird and frivolous smile: "The little lady will invite me into the house next time and change my clothes."
