My wife is not a demon

"Headache, can't you let me rest for a few days?"

Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief, stood up and walked slowly back and forth in the yard.

The walls of this small courtyard are made of blue bricks and stucco. The trees on both sides are arranged in an orderly manner, and some exotic flowers and plants are planted along the courtyard walls.

When the breeze blows, there is a luscious taste that is sobering and refreshing.

Chen Mu tried his best to breathe the fresh air, trying to calm down his brain and find a countermeasure to save Zhang Awei.

First of all, Zhang Awei must not be taken away by the government office.

Although being imprisoned in the government prison will not be life-threatening, there is no guarantee that someone will not use secret methods to torture Ah Wei.

And according to the regulations, once the government office decides the case, it will be convicted and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.

At that time, it will be troublesome to reverse the case.

Gotta figure out a way to get the case to Six Doors and delay it a little longer.

"How to do how to do……"

Chen Mu thought hard.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly beckoned Wang Fafa over, and whispered something in his ear.

"Understood, my lord."

Wang Fafa nodded and left in a hurry.

Not long after he left, a beautiful woman in a plain long dress hurried over, her beautiful face was pale, full of fear and uneasiness.

This woman is none other than Meng Yanqing.

"Xiaowei!"

Seeing Zhang Awei being pressed down by the government officials, the beautiful woman covered her lips, tears bursting down the embankment in an instant, and she wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the officers.

Seeing this, Chen Mu stepped forward to signal the guards to let him go.

Meng Yanqing grabbed his arm, her fingers turned white, and said anxiously:

"Chen Mu, what's going on here? How could Xiaowei kill someone? They must have made a mistake. Go and save him..."

"You come with me first."

To appease the emotionally agitated beautiful woman, Chen Mu took her to a secluded corner of the courtyard, and briefly explained what happened.

Meng Yanqing desperately shook her head: "Impossible, Xiaowei couldn't have killed someone. You know him best, Chen Mu. How could he kill someone? He must have been wronged, he must be..."

"Don't get excited, I will save him."

Chen Mu pressed the beautiful woman's fragrant shoulders, reached out to wipe away the tears on the other's face, and said softly. "You don't even believe me?"

Looking into Chen Mu's sincere gaze, Meng Yanqing's panic gradually stabilized.

It's just that I'm still worried.

After all, judging from Chen Mu's tone, Zhang Awei's murder is very likely to be true. Regardless of whether it was manslaughter or not, he will be imprisoned, or even...beheaded.

The one who died was the son of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official of the imperial court.

"how so……"

Meng Yanqing sat slumped on the stone pier, murmuring softly. "Perhaps, Xiaowei shouldn't be allowed to come to the capital, really shouldn't...I killed him."

Her heart seemed to be held tightly by an invisible giant hand, pressing it into a icy and bone-chilling deep pool.

Tears flowed again from under the bushy lashes.

Chen Mu leaned over and held her limp little hand, and said firmly, "I'm here."

The man's gentle voice gave the woman great peace of mind.

She opened her red lips, wanting to say something, suddenly her eyes stared straight at the flowers behind Chen Mu, her delicate cheeks turned pale, and her delicate body trembled.

"what happened?"

Chen Mu noticed that the beautiful woman was abnormal and looked back.

But apart from the clusters of flowering branches behind him, there was nothing strange about it.

"Eye...eye...there's an eye looking at us..."

Trembling all over, Meng Yanqing pointed to a gloomy eye protruding from among the flowers. She was so frightened that she wanted to get up, but her legs and feet were weak.

Eye?

Chen Mu's scalp tingled for no reason.

He blocked the woman behind him, and gently poked the bushes with the shark-toothed knife in his hand, and a cold chill crawled out of his back in an instant.

I saw a pair of big eyes staring coldly at them between the gaps in the flower garden!

Corpse!

There are dead bodies down here!

Chen Mu hurriedly shouted towards the six gates in the distance: "Come on!"

The few policemen heard the shout and came in a hurry.

Chen Mu pointed at the flower garden, and said coldly: "Dig! Dig carefully! There are corpses buried here!"

Corpse?

The few arresters looked at each other in blank dismay, quickly untied the simple knife from their waists and began to dig, and soon a corpse was dug out, it was a woman.

It's just that the woman's body was decomposed more seriously, and most of the soft tissues of the corpse were devoured by fly larvae.

Oddly enough, her head was slightly better preserved.

Especially the eyes.

Although the cornea is completely blurred, it gives people a very eerie feeling.

"Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse under the head, it has been at least seven days since she died, and no fatal injuries can be seen for the time being, but why her head..."

Chen Mu frowned, and reached out to touch his forehead.
