My wife is not a demon

Although she was wearing a veil, Chen Mu still felt the other party was smiling.

"You seemed to want to ask that girl some questions just now, but unfortunately Li Qianhu saw it, so you took that girl away."

Xue Caiqing changed the subject.

Chen Mu smiled wryly and nodded: "That's right, because there are too many loopholes in that girl's words."

"You mean... she's lying?"

Xue Caiqing's beautiful eyes brightened slightly.

Chapter 75: Is Chen Mu Dead?

"Whether that girl is lying or not is still unclear."

Chen Mu patted the dust off his knees, and said lightly, "Would you mind taking up a bit of your time? I want to investigate something, soon."

"it is good."

Xue Caiqing, who was aroused, nodded slightly.

After questioning the surrounding people, Chen Mu found the mother and daughter who first discovered the 'girl's body'.

The mother and daughter are residents who live nearby and happened to be washing clothes by the river at the time.

They were also terrified when they first saw the dead body, but now that the girl was rescued by Chen Mu, their fear was relieved a lot.

"Where did you find her at that time?"

Chen Mu asked.

The woman in coarse cloth pointed to the east, and replied honestly, "That's where it came from."

"What time exactly?"

"It was probably around 10:[-] pm ([-]:[-] a.m.). My daughter discovered it first. Then we asked someone to carry the girl ashore. After a while, the officials came."

"When you found out, the girl was lying on her back, right?"

"Correct."

"..."

Chen Mu asked a few more simple questions, and then let the mother and daughter leave.

He came to the first scene where the girl was carried ashore, and found the branch that was carrying the girl's body at that time... To be precise, it was a large piece of knotted branches.

"The uppermost broken layer of the branch is new, and it has not been soaked in water for a long time, and the lower layer has been for a long time."

After checking the knotted branches, Chen Mu said lightly. "This girl is also light enough. It is estimated that the cliff was not high at that time. After she fell, she broke a branch, buffered again and fell on the raft of branches piled up in the water. She survived by chance."

"That is to say, it is very consistent with what she said, she did fall off the cliff."

Xue Caiqing said softly.

Chen Mu didn't deny it: "It did fall from above. Her clothes on the back had a lot of rips, and the exposed skin was bruised and had been hit. But..."

"but what?"

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, the woman had no choice but to ask.

This guy always likes to get emotional.

Chen Mu stared at the Huailan River in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips: "In fact, there is an obvious contradiction, the girl floated from the east, and from the direction of the water flow, it does not match the location of Wushan at all. "

After being reminded by Chen Mu, Xue Caiqing was stunned.

Yes.

If according to the current water area, Wushan's position is above the water, how can it be floating in the opposite direction?

"She's lying to us, she didn't fall from the Wushan cliff at all!"

Xue Caiqing's eyes were burning.

Chen Mu shook his head: "It's really hard to come to a conclusion, after all, that girl is really confused, maybe her memory has gone wrong."

"You are quite protective of her. It seems that it is not unreasonable for the hero to be sad about the beauty pass."

The woman said calmly.

Chen Mu looked at her in surprise: "You mocked me quite a lot today, you shouldn't have done this to other people, have you a preference for me?"

Xue Caiqing did not answer, but chose to remain silent while looking at Wushan in the distance.

For thick-skinned people, just ignore it.

Chen Mu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, there's nothing to investigate. We still have to go to Hanwu Temple to offer incense. It's not good to delay your time."

……

The two returned to the carriage.

Chen Mu opened the small book bound with fine twine: "Continue with the question just now, where did we end?"

"I don't know."

The woman shook her head slightly.

When Chen Mu rescued the girl just now, the two had faint signs of getting closer, but now they began to drift apart again.

Chen Mu was also quite helpless about this.

He turned his lacquered eyes and said, "Your strength is quite strong."

"strength?"

Doubt appeared in Xue Caiqing's almond eyes.

Chen Mu looked at her with a smile: "Stop pretending, although I was saving people at that time, I also noticed that Li Qianhu couldn't do anything to you at that time."

"You think I'm a practitioner?"

"Is not it?"

At first, Chen Mu didn't think Xue Caiqing was a practitioner.

But the other party's performance today made him wonder, what is the real identity of this woman?
