My wife is not a demon

Xue Caiqing neither admitted nor denied it.

She looked at Chen Mu, and finally a trace of emotion appeared in her eyes, which were as quiet as lake water, and she said slowly, more like mocking:

"But...can Catcher Chen do it?"

Is this provoking me?

Chen Mu smiled.

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

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

Interrogation is not possible.

After all, there are countless admirers of this woman, including some celebrities and bigwigs. If she is really going to be taken into prison for torture and interrogation, it is estimated that the entire county government will be overthrown by then.

"can we start?"

Xue Caiqing's beautiful eyes fell on the notebook in front of Chen Mu's desk, "I will go to Hanwu Temple to burn incense in a while, I hope Chen Tutou can be faster."

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

"But the last time Catcher Chen came, he seemed very imaginary."

The woman sneered back.

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

"How about this, I'll accompany you to Hanwu Temple, let's talk slowly on the way, so that you won't be delayed, and I can finish the transcript, what do you think?"

Xue Cai frowned lightly, and finally nodded: "Okay."

……

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

Take a carriage and walk westward along Huailan River Street for about half an hour.

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

Xue Caiqing was slightly taken aback, and took a deep look at Chen Mu, but did not refuse.

"Then let's get started."

I don't know if it was because of the small space in the carriage or because of the closer distance between the two, Chen Mu could clearly smell the faint fragrance of snowy plums.

He put the notebook on his knees and said:

"According to the records of the county government at that time, at a quarter o'clock on April 28, the first person who was found dead was Yuan Xing'er. She was in her room at the time, and the person who found her dead...was you.

So I want to know, why did you go to Yuan Xinger's room?What is the purpose of this? "

Facing Chen Mu's burning gaze, Xue Caiqing said softly, "Didn't Catcher Chen read the records of the whole yamen? At that time, the door of Yuan Xing'er's room was open. I just took a look out of curiosity and found something was wrong."

"That's right, that's exactly what's recorded in the records."

Chen Mu leaned forward slightly, "But here comes the problem, Yuan Xing'er's room is in Dongyuan on the second floor, and your room is in Shuxue Xiaoge on the third floor, not only upstairs and downstairs, but also in the opposite direction. Where are you going and what are you doing?"

"Take the flute."

"Take a flute?"

"Yes, two days before the incident happened, Xiao Wan needed to play for a guest, but it happened that her Feng Yu flute was broken, so she borrowed mine."

"Xiao Wan? Are you talking about the dead oiran Mei Xinwan?"

Chen Mu asked.

After Chen Mu crossed over, he heard about the name of this brothel girl.

It is Ju Chunlou's new oiran.

Not only is her body delicate and soft, her appearance is sweet, but she also plays a flute so well that many men fall in love with her.

"is her."

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

"And what?" Chen Mu asked.

Xue Caiqing said quietly: "And she was lying on the bed without a single thread hanging on. I realized something was wrong, so I went in to check and found that she was dead. After that, other sisters found the dead one after another, including Xiao Wan."

Chen Mu looked carefully at the records made by the previous yamen, and there was indeed a record of all the dead bodies at that time.

But other clues are not documented.

Chen Mu was a little helpless.

When the Juchunlou tragedy happened, he happened to go out with his wife to play, and Gao Yuanchun didn't let him touch the case after he came back. He even burned all the corpses, and directly announced that the case of 'mistakenly taking poisonous mushrooms' was closed.

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

Of course, Chen Mu also understood the magistrate.

In that case, the above said that it was the snake demon who caused the chaos, and he, a county magistrate, could not be too much in charge.

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

"I'm sorry, Catcher Chen, I was vague about what you asked, and I didn't look at it carefully at the time."

Xue Caiqing interrupted him and apologized.

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

"She was very peaceful, like she was asleep."

"and then?"

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

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

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

"There were no wounds on their bodies, each of them was sleeping on their own bed, without quilts or clothes, and they were not violated.

They are all in the same pose, with their heads slightly turned to the left, their right hands stacked on top of their left, in front of their lower abdomen.
