My Lady Is Not A Demon

The house was filled with faint red sandalwood cigarettes.

The two were silent.

The seemingly laid-back and quiet atmosphere is as tight as a string, and it seems to have returned to the situation that Chen Mu deliberately targeted the last time.

Xue Caiqing put down the blue and white porcelain cup.

Looking down at his slender white jade fingers, his tone is calm and quiet:

"Chen Catcher thinks...I am the murderer?"

Chen Mu smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say that, it was pure intuition. I always feel that you are hiding something."

"Human intuition is sometimes very accurate."

"So you admit it?"

"Cai Qing sincerely hopes that Chen Catou can solve this case and let the eleven sisters rest in peace."

Xue Caiqing neither admitted nor denied.

She looked at Chen Mu, her eyes as quiet as a lake finally showed a trace of emotion, more like a mockery, and slowly said:

"But... can Chen catch the head?"

Is this provoking me?

Chen Mu smiled.

Interesting, he hasn't taken the initiative yet, so he posted a challenge post.

It seems that Xue Caiqing does know something, but it is impossible to expect her to take the initiative to say it.

Interrogation can't.

After all, this woman has countless admirers, and there are many celebrities who really want to take her into a prison for severe interrogation. It is estimated that the entire county office will be overthrown by then.

"can you start it?"

Xue Caiqing's beautiful eyes fell on the record book at Chen Mu's desk, "I will go to Hanwu Temple to burn incense in a while, I hope Chen catches his head faster."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I usually have a long time, so it's hard to be faster, especially when facing Miss Xue."

"But when Chen caught his head last time, it seemed very imaginary."

The woman sneered.

It turns out that you will be angry too... After hearing the annoyance in the woman's words, Chen Mu smiled secretly and gave a compromise solution:

"Well, I will accompany you to Hanwu Temple, and we will talk slowly on the road, so that it will not delay your business, and I can finish the transcript. What do you think."

Xue Caiqing's eyebrows frowned lightly, and finally nodded: "Okay."

...

As the only temple in Qingyu County, Hanwu Temple is not far away.

Take a horse-drawn carriage and walk westward along Huailanhe Street for about half an hour.

The two entered the carriage, Chen Mu took out a clean handkerchief and placed it on the opposite bench, and made a gesture of invitation to the woman.

Xue Caiqing was stunned slightly, glanced at Chen Mu deeply, but did not refuse.

"Then let's start."

It was also unknown whether it was because of the small carriage space or the distance between the two of them that Chen Mu could clearly smell the faint fragrance of Xuemei.

He put the notebook on his lap and said:

"According to the county government's records at that time, at the moment of April 28th, the first person to be found dead was Yuan Xing'er. She was in her own room at that time, and the person who found her death... was you.

So I want to know, why did you go to Yuan Xing'er's room at that time? What is the purpose of this? "

Facing Chen Mu's burning gaze, Xue Caiqing's voice softly said, "Did Chen Catcher not read the records of Quanyamen? The door of Yuan Xing'er's room was open at that time. I just glanced at it out of curiosity and found something was wrong."

"Yes, this is indeed the record in the record."

Chen Mu leaned forward slightly, "But here is the problem. Yuan Xing'er's house is in the Dongyuan on the second floor, and your house is in the Shuxue Xiaoge on the third floor. Not only upstairs and downstairs, but also in the opposite direction. Where do you go?"

"Get the flute."

"Take the flute?"

"Yes, two days before the incident, Xiaowan needed to play for a guest, but her Fengyu flute happened to be broken, so she borrowed it from me."

"Xiaowan? Are you talking about the dead oiran Mei Xinwan?"

Chen Mu asked.

After Chen Mu passed through, he heard of the name of the woman in the brothel.

It is the new oiran of Ju Chunlou.

Not only the body is soft and sweet, but it is also a good flute, which makes many men fall in love with it.

"is her."

Xue Caiqing nodded lightly and said lightly, "I was looking for her, but when I passed by Yuan Xing'er's room, I saw her door open, and..."

"And what?" Chen Mu asked.

Xue Caiqing said quietly: "Besides, she was lying on the bed like that without hanging the strands. I realized that something was wrong, so I went in to check and found that she was dead. Later, other sisters successively found the dead, including Xiaowan."

Chen Mu took a closer look at the records made by the yamen before, and it did record all the bodies of the deceased at that time.

But other clues are not recorded.

Chen Mu was a little helpless.

When the Ju Chunlou tragedy happened, he happened to accompany his wife out to play, and Gao Yuanchun refused to let him touch the case after he returned. Even the body was burned down, and he declared that the case of "mistaking poison mushrooms by mistake" was closed.

Although it was for political reasons, if the records were more detailed at that time, the investigation would not be so troublesome.

Of course, Chen Mu also understands the county grandfather.

In that case, it was said that the snake demon was making chaos, and he couldn't be a master of the county.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Mu continued to ask: "Can you describe in detail the condition of Yuan Xing'er's body at that time? For example, was there any facial swelling, were there strange spots on the body, how stiff the body was? And—"

"I'm sorry Chen catches the head, I am vague about what you asked, and I didn't take a closer look at that time."

Xue Caiqing interrupted him and apologized.

Chen Mu stared at her: "What about the others? For example, what was the specific situation when Mei Xinwan died?"

"She is peaceful, as if she was asleep."

"Then what?"

"What then?" The woman looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Mu's tone became slightly colder: "Since you are willing to borrow the flute, it means that you two can have a good relationship, but at least you should remember what happened after her death."

Xue Caiqing was silent for a moment, and said lightly:

"There were no wounds on their bodies. Everyone slept on their own bed without being covered by quilts and clothes, and they were not violated.

Their postures are all the same, their heads are slightly offset to the left, and their right hands are stacked on their left hands and placed in front of their lower abdomen.

In addition, the nails of their right toes are all painted with red rouge..."

The nail of the right thumb is painted red rouge?

Chen Mu's eyes flickered.

Such an obvious abnormal situation has not been recorded by the county government?

These guys are really no brains!

However, judging from the situation described by the woman, Xue Caiqing did observe the corpse deliberately at the time, and just didn't want to say...

This woman, what the hell is selling in Calabash.

"Anything else?" Chen Mu asked.

Xue Caiqing shook his head gently: "Nothing. Later, the Yamen took all the corpses away and asked us about some of the conditions, and the case was closed."

"Did you hear anything the night before you found the body?"

"I don't know, I slept very heavily."

"I don't know, or you don't want to say it?" Chen Mu frowned.

Xue Caiqing did not answer, but raised the window screens without his hands, and said softly: "Something happened ahead."

Chen Mu was taken aback and opened the carriage door curtain directly.

I saw many people whispering around on the shore in the distance, among them the figure of Charon.

Chen Mu asked the coachman to stop to the side of the road and jumped out of the carriage to check. From the discussion of the surrounding people, it was learned that someone had found a body on the shore.

Passing through the crowd, Chen Mu saw the salvaged body.

Is a woman.

Petite.

A long red Liu skirt, the cloth is broken in several ways.

After seeing the woman's face, Chen Mu's brain buzzed, and his pupils shrank rapidly.
