My wife is not a demon

Chen Mu managed to persuade the nagging Qingluo to let go, and he didn't care about the order of the young master, so he just gave a comforting look, and asked about the progress of the gourd seven monsters' investigation.

"Master Chen, I did find out some news here."

Hulu Lao Liu said in a deep voice. "After your lady came to Fenghua City, she seemed to have a very unpleasant quarrel with the magistrate. Later, when she left, she met an assassin. But this assassin has already been arrested by the magistrate, and I don't know where he is now being held."

Chapter 568 The Invisible Companion!

"assassin?"

Chen Mu's thick black eyebrows frowned, and he looked at his sister-in-law Qingluo. "Have you encountered assassins in Fenghua City?"

Qingluo nodded, then shook her head: "Actually, he's not an assassin."

She recounted the events of the day.

It turns out that the magistrate of Fenghua City belongs to the Qingliu faction in the imperial court, and he hates the court eagles and dogs like Hades Xichang.

After Bai Xianyu, who was the envoy of Suzaku, came to Fenghua City, the other party didn't pay much attention to him at all.

Later, Bai Xianyu came to visit, wanting to know more about the situation of Destiny Valley from the magistrate, so as to better deal with it, but in the end, due to political reasons, some disputes arose.

When leaving, a young man wanted to assassinate Bai Xianyu, but was easily captured.

After investigation, it was found out that this young man was once the son of an official in the capital, and his father was executed by Hades' family for violating the law.

The official's son escaped by chance and hid in Fenghua City.

After hearing that the Suzaku envoy had come to Fenghua City, driven by hatred, this person sneaked into the prefect to assassinate.

But after all, it is an ordinary person, who was caught before the knife was drawn.

At that time, Bai Xianyu also carefully investigated the motive of the other party's assassination, and after confirming that it was only revenge, he ignored it and handed it over to the magistrate.

After all, she has experienced many assassinations.

In Dayan, there were countless enemies who hated her deeply, but none of them had the ability to get close to her.

After listening to his sister-in-law, Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

This assassination incident seems ordinary and nothing unusual, but when you think about it carefully, it feels a bit weird.

"Have you encountered other assassinations?" Chen Mu asked.

Qingluo shook her head again and again: "No, we went to the Valley of Destiny after we left the prefect, and we didn't meet other assassins on the way."

Chen Mu looked at the other gourd demons: "What about you guys, have you found anything?"

Hulu Lao San said: "I asked some common people, and how many of them have seen your lady, but that's all. If there is anything strange, there really isn't one."

Except for Hulu's second child, the other brothers also nodded one after another.

Chen Mu looked at Hulu's second child who had been silent all this time: "Looking at your appearance, you should have discovered something."

The second calabash put his arms around his chest, and said calmly: "Actually, I don't have much to gain here, but there is one strange thing. Earlier, Master Chen said that there are four people around your lady, so there are five people in total, right?"

Chen Mu nodded.

Beside the lady are Qingluo, Su Qiaoer, Manjiaye and Senior Mo Hanshuang.

Although the queen mother was equipped with expert guards when Bai Xianyu set off, but these guards would not follow after arriving in Fenghua City.

So only Niangzi and the other four went to the Valley of Destiny.

Hulu Er Er said: "But when I was asking some people, many people said that there were six of them."

"Hey, that's right."

At this time, Hulu Laosi also slapped his head suddenly, and said in surprise. "I didn't pay attention at the time. Thinking about it now, when answering my question, several people said that they saw the six of them going in which direction."

After the other gourd brothers thought about it, they also echoed.

Chen Mu frowned, and turned his eyes to Qingluo: "Who else is with you, the guard of Zhuque Hall?"

However, Qingluo looked bewildered.

Hearing my brother-in-law's question, I shook my head and said, "Impossible, there were five of us at the time, how could there be six of us. When we boarded the ship, there were also five of us."

As she said that, Qingluo counted with her slender fingers: "Me, sister, Qiao'er, sister Kaye, senior Mo...just the five of us, without any guards to follow."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became strange.

Everyone looked at each other.

The party said it was five, but others saw it as six.

Why would there be one more person?

If one person sees it, it can be regarded as being dazzled, but now that many people have seen it, it is impossible for everyone to be dazzled.

This……

A chill ran up everyone's spine.

Chen Mu tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and asked the seven gourd brothers: "Apart from my wife and the others, is the extra person male or female?"

"I do not know."

Hulu Laosi spread his hands. "I didn't care about it at the time, but now the second brother reminded me of this, why don't we go and ask again?"

"It's a woman!"

It was Hulu's second child who spoke.

He said with burning eyes: "I was careful during the questioning process, and I asked those common people specifically, and they all said that I didn't see a man in the lady's party."

"What does that woman look like?" Chen Mu asked.

But this time, Hulu's second child smiled wryly and shook his head: "I have no impression."

"No impression?"

"Yes, I asked those common people. Although they were veiled, they could roughly describe the height and stature of the noble ladies, but they couldn't describe the extra woman. They said they had no impression. I can’t even remember, I just know it’s a woman.”

"This is too mysterious."

For a moment, Chen Mu couldn't use his mind to judge what was the reason behind this.

Think about the addition of a companion by your side, only others can see it, but the group of you are not aware of it.
