My wife is not a demon

Like a puppet without a soul.

Seeing Chen Mu in official uniform, everyone was a little surprised. A thin middle-aged man hurried forward to salute: "You two officials are..."

"Let's come over and take a look." Chen Mu smiled.

just looking around?

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, as if he understood something, quietly slipped some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Mu, with a bright smile:

"The two officials will take this little tea money first. The handling of the case this early in the morning has really worked hard for you."

Obviously, the middle-aged man misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mu was here to collect fees.

General yamen servants can get fees or bribes when they travel on business.

When handling a case, the parties will be charged some fares, shoes and socks, meals, tea money, etc., and these prefectures and counties are the default.

Some big families even secretly gave bribes after a case came up.

Especially in a prosperous area like the capital, there are many kinds of fees, and some officials even have an "income" of thousands of taels of silver a year.

All in all, full of oil and water.

Of course, the more oil and water you fish, the greater the risk, especially when it comes to homicide cases, so most government officials are not too greedy, just enough is enough.

"The tea fee will be waived. We are here to really handle the case."

Chen Mu pushed Sui Yin away.

handle the case?

Seeing that Chen Mu didn't want to be joking, the man resentfully put away the money, and asked doubtfully, "Master, isn't the case already over?"

"Go and do your work, we can go around as we please."

Chen Mu didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, the man couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to back down.

The yard of Zha Dongqing's house is small, and it is quite clean. There are flowers and plants planted in a corner of the yard, which are quite lush. It can be seen that Rhododendron is taking good care of it on weekdays.

There are only four rooms.

Master bedroom, side room, kitchen and a utility room.

Before pushing open the bedroom door, Chen Mu took a closer look at the door latch. There were traces of wire scratches on it, which should have been opened from the outside with a hook latch.

The gate of the courtyard is normal, but there are remnants of footprints beside the low wall, and the three servants climbed over the wall to enter.

There were signs of damage to the window paper on the outside of the house. It was mentioned in the case that they stunned the woman with smoke and then carried her out of the house.

Judging from the signs of damage, it was a smoking pipe.

The layout of the house is very simple. Although there are no expensive items, the placement of some simple decorations makes people look very comfortable.

It can be seen that the woman's tutoring was very good.

The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, the quilt on the bed was piled up in the corner, there was a pink satin-soled flower embroidered shoe under the table, and the other shoe was stuck to a corner of the bed.

It is estimated that the three servants inadvertently kicked the embroidered shoes in the process of carrying the woman.

Chen Mu looked around carefully, but found nothing else.

If you just look at it on the surface, it is completely consistent with the description of the case, and even some small details are correct.

It can be seen that the government office and the six doors are still very capable of handling cases.

If Chen Mu hadn't discovered the algae in the woman's nasal cavity, the case would have been closed by now.

Unfortunately he found out.

That means the case is still problematic.

"My lord, just now...you did it on purpose, right?" Wang Fafa who was following behind couldn't help asking.

"What intentional."

Chen Mu casually picked up the thin quilt on the bed and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

Similar to jasmine fragrance.

This fragrance should be specially smoked by picking some herbs.

Wang Fafa said slowly: "Your Excellency's approach in front of the Yamen is a bit too radical. After all, you officially took office on the first day. Even if the new official took office three times, it would be too impatient to burn it now."

It can be seen that Wang Fafa is a kind reminder.

Chen Mu smiled lightly: "Do you think I'm demonstrating?"

Wang Fafa frowned.

Chen Mu walked to the table, picked up the teapot and smelled it, and said lightly: "Sometimes demonstrations also represent weakness. Demonstrating to the subordinates, showing weakness to the superiors. In fact, Lord Leng is the happiest when I do it in front of the yamen."

"I see."

Wang Fafa looked stunned, "Master Leng doesn't like people who are too deep in the city, so it's not bad for you to be reckless."

"No, he just needs me to make a statement."

"Statement?"

"Foreman Wang, don't pretend to be stupid, let's just understand it in our hearts."

Chen Mu smiled and patted the other person's chest.

Seen through by Chen Mu, Wang Fafa smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject: "Does your lord think there is something wrong with this case?"

"There is a problem."

Chen Mu took a deep breath and handed the teapot to the other party, "Smell and see, what kind of tea is this?"

Wang Fafa didn't understand, so after taking the teapot, he took a closer look and smelled it, frowned and said, "It seems to be ordinary thick tea, but it smells a little herbal, but it's normal to add herbal things to the tea, and many people will do this, nourishing the body? of."

"That's right, it's normal."

"..."

Wang Fafa was speechless, since it is normal, what do you want me to smell.
