My Lady Is Not A Demon

An hour and a half later, Chen and Mu came to the boundary of Maling County.

The two went to the government office of Maling County first and took out the document written by Gao Yuanchun and submitted it.

Mr. Ya Zhao in Maling County is in his forties this year. He looks fat and rich, with a beard on the corner of his mouth.

After seeing Chen Mu, he was quite enthusiastic.

"I have long heard that Qingyu County's government has sent out a god arrester. He is like a god to judge the case. He is a kind of talent. At first sight today, he is truly well-known."

Lord Zhao smiled all over his face.

Several folds were squeezed out of the chubby face.

Chen Mu busy cupped hands and said: "My lord is too modest. I have taken the liberty to come here this time and I will bother you. I hope you will forgive me."

"Anywhere, it's all for the court and the common people. Moreover, Mr. Gao has also been kind to the official. You don't need to care about this trivial matter. If Chen Catchhead has any request, he will definitely not refuse it."

Master Zhao grabbed Chen Mu's arm and smiled, without putting on any official airs.

More like an elder who appreciates younger generations.

Faced with this enthusiasm, Chen Mu also expressed a state of trepidation: "Then thank you sir."

"My family, you are welcome."

Lord Zhao said intentionally or unintentionally. "If you have free time in the future, please come to the official's house anytime as a guest. Oh, by the way, the official's second daughter also admires your kid very much."

This is digging the foot of the wall!

Chen Mu complained inwardly, but still looked grateful on the surface, and said a few words to prevaricate.

...

After leaving the county office, Chen Mu was already sweating on his back.

It's really tiring to deal with this kind of oil officer. If you say something wrong, you can cause yourself trouble.

Although the other party is very enthusiastic on the surface, he is obviously hesitant on the inside.

The case is obviously closed, what do you mean by coming to investigate again? Think that Zhao is confused in handling the case?

Of course, the appreciation of Chen Mu is true.

Otherwise, his second daughter would not be used to pass the message of digging a corner to Chen Mu.

"Chen catches the head, are we going directly to Mu Dahe's house?"

The speaker was a majestic man with a purple face, a simple knife hung around his waist, and he was wearing a yamen chaplain.

The man's surname is Hu, but he is the head of the government office in Maling County.

Master Zhao was sent to cooperate with Chen Mu in investigating the case, and it was also to'surveill' him.

Although Chen Mu deliberately stated in the county government that he came to investigate Mu Xiang'er's death and not her family, but Mrs. Zhao was obviously concerned.

Let his head catcher follow Chen Mu, so that he can report to him in time.

"Hu catch your head, I heard that there is a restaurant called'Yangxue' in your country. This special Yangchun Baixue wine is very good."

Chen Mu pretended to be curious and asked.

Hu Toutou was taken aback, and his gaze at Chen Mu was mixed with special meaning: "It's very good. If Chen Toutou is interested, why don't you have two glasses?"

"Then bother to catch your head and lead the way."

Chen Mu cupped fist smiled.

Under the leadership of Hu Catou, the three came to a restaurant.

The restaurant is located in a prime location with three floors. At first glance, the carved eaves reflect the sun and the buildings are painted with flying clouds, which is quite magnificent.

There is a constant stream of customers coming in and out, and the business is excellent.

The more than 20 tables on the first floor are almost full of guests, including past business travelers and local regular customers.

"Fuck your head, please come in."

As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed restaurant shopkeeper greeted him.

Hu Datou seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and the familiar road led Chen Mu to a quiet private room in the corner of the second floor.

After sitting down carelessly, he said to the shopkeeper who was following:

"These two are the father-in-law of Yamen in Qingyu County. Come to your restaurant especially, you have to treat them well and bring you good wine and food."

"sure."

The seemingly honest-looking shopkeeper's eyes were shrewd, and he saw Chen Mu's extraordinary temperament at a glance, and bowed to say hello to the two of them.

Let the buddies in the shop bring the finest and precious tea.

After the shopkeeper left, Hu Catou smiled and said:

"Chen Butou waited for a while. This Yangchun Baixue wine is different from other wines. It will only be taken out of the cellar when the guests need it, and a temporary process has to be added."

"No hurry, since I'm here, I have to taste it."

Chen Mu smiled.

The two chatted casually a few unnutritious words, and Hu Huotou turned to the main topic: "I don't know how Chen Huotou thought about the death of Mu Dahe's family?"

Mu Dahe is Mu Xianger's father.

Chen Mu froze for a while, then sighed: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, sometimes there is no way."

"Chen Cattle also thinks it is a natural disaster?"

Hu catches his head like a smile but not a smile.

Chen Mu was puzzled: "Didn't Mrs. Zhao have closed the case? It is said that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of coal."

Hu Catou stared at Chen Mu for a while, shook his head and said:

"It's not that easy to close the case, and the current conclusion of the case is also my preliminary judgment. The adults are still sending people to investigate. If Brother Chen can investigate new clues, you might as well let me know. Everyone is a colleague. , Maybe it can help."

In a short sentence, there are two layers of codewords.

First: If the results of the final investigation of this case are consistent with the previous ones, then it shows that Lord Zhao has done a great deal in ruling the case.

But if the conclusion is not the same, it is my dereliction of duty, which has nothing to do with adults.

Second: You can come all the way to investigate the case in Maling County, but you must tell us the results of the investigation truthfully.

Or, even if you find out, you can treat it as nothing.

Everyone eats together in the same system, so there is no need to get too stiff.

Chen Mu fell silent.

The box also fell into silence, and even the flowing air seemed to be a bit sticky.

The confused Zhang Awei turned his eyes on the two of them, and kept quiet with interest, just turning the teacup silently.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Chen Mu smiled, and personally added tea to Hu's head, breaking the silence:

"I heard earlier that Brother Hu's ability to judge cases is also top-notch, otherwise Master Zhao would not value you so much."

Looking at the tea leaves rotating in the cup, Hu Catou couldn't figure out the meaning of Chen Mu's response for a while, and said modestly: "Where, he is far from Brother Chen. After all, Brother Chen has the title of'God Catcher'."

"All the ‘God’s catches’ are blown out."

Chen Mu waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "If it were a god arrest, this Mu Xianger's case would not be delayed like this. You have to make a special trip to your county to investigate, and you will have to trouble you."

It's done!

Hearing this, a bright light burst into Hu Cat's eyes.

He laughed and patted the table heavily: "Brother is interesting, just wait for your words!"

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted at the outside of the Accord: "What are you doing so slowly, the wine, is it possible for Daddy to move in by himself!"

"Wine is coming~"

The restaurant mate trot over with an unopened bottle of wine jar.

Chen Mu sighed lightly.

In fact, this wine has been waiting outside, just waiting for him to express his attitude, otherwise he won't even be able to lick the moo on the wine today.

"It's so difficult to check a case."

Chen Mu secretly had a headache.

The reason why he made a temporary intention to pull Hu's head to the restaurant is also to take this opportunity to let both parties'open their hearts'.

He knows very well that if he does not express his position, the case cannot be investigated.

After all, on the opponent's chassis.

Only when the conversation is opened, the other party will truly cooperate with you.

Hu Datou held the buddy back, got up and poured three bowls of wine, put his hands up in front of Chen Mu: "Brother, how about a taste of this sunny white snow?"

Chen Mu was also welcome and took the wine.

Zhang Awei, who was next to him, waited for a long time without seeing the other party handing him the wine, so he had to take it by himself.

Inexplicably feel like a transparent person.

At the entrance of the wine, Chen Mu only felt sweet and fragrant, which was extremely smooth, but when it fell into his abdomen, it instantly ignited a fire.

It seemed to be hot all over.

It is completely different from the white shochu commonly found in other liquor stores.

"Good wine!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's good wine!"

Husband laughed.

Chen Mu said through Jiu Jin, "The next case is—"

Without waiting for the words to finish, Hu Tau head waved his hand: "Despite the investigation, I will definitely cooperate with Brother Chen in Maling County!"

"If there is such a sentence, I can rest assured."

Chen Mu smiled brightly.

The three of them were drinking happily when a familiar and slender figure suddenly passed through the door of the box and was caught by the light of Chen Mu's eyes.

What is she here for?

Chen Mu couldn't help frowning.
