[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming saw that Zhao Liang was puzzled, so after the case was repeated in the police office, he analyzed the case for Zhao Liang and locked the person who killed the fourth aunt as Wu Ma, and Mu Qingming also guessed that the fourth aunt might be the murderer of the eldest lady. Later, Mu Zhao and the others visited Chen's mansion at night to find Wu's mother, and before they could fully explain their intentions, Wu's mother told the truth, and took a human bone comb and handed it to Mu Qingming, but the alchemy on it had been unraveled. led out Wu Ma and Mu Qing alone to refine souls, and was later taken back to the police station by Zhao Liang to be imprisoned; A few days later, Mu Qingming saw the loophole in Wu's mother's confession and wanted to enter the Chen Mansion to reveal the truth. 】

Mu Qing was slightly stunned when he saw that Wu's mother's smile was a little unfathomable.

Zhao Liang took the bone comb from his hand, looked at it carefully, glared at Mother Wu and asked, "Where did you commit the murder?" And how did he commit the murder? ”。

"I know that every time the fourth aunt gets up at night, she goes to the thatched toilet behind the main house, and never uses the night incense bucket in the room; So that day, when the cook was not paying attention, I added a little more salt to the fourth aunt's dinner. If she eats salty, she will get up at night if she wants to drink more water herself. Mother Wu smiled coldly, and then said slowly: "I prepared clean clothes and ropes in advance, ambushed her in the toilet and strangled her, then cut her tongue and changed into clean clothes outside the toilet, and then dropped her on the red beam in the main hall." The reason why she did this was to make everyone think that she was really killed by the soul of the eldest lady. ”。

It was similar to Mu Qingming's analysis, Zhao Liang didn't delve into anything, and Mu Qingming slowly asked: "The clothes that the fourth aunt wore before must have left blood stains when you cut your tongue, how did you deal with this." ”。

The night breeze blew through the door and swirled around the house.

"Young Master Mu must have been born in a large family, and he should know that the owner of a large family will not come to the residence; Unless someone is suspected of being a thief, the master will come in. Mother Wu turned around again, walked to her wooden bed and squatted down. While reaching under the bed and groping for something, he said: "I have been working in the Chen Mansion for more than 20 years, and I have always had clean hands and feet, and no one will come to me." ”。

When he finished speaking, he pulled out a basket from under the bed, and saw that there was a dress stuffed inside.

Mother Wu lifted the basket, walked in front of Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang, and handed it to Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang looked through it for a while, although the woman's dress had been washed, there were still a lot of faint blood stains on the front of the shirt, and there were also a small amount of blood stains on the front of the skirt, so he nodded and said, "Then please go back to the police station with me." ”。

"There's no hurry." Mother Wu waved her hand and said, "Can you let the old man talk to Young Master Mu for a few words?" ”。

"Yes." After thinking for a while, Zhao Liang resolutely turned around and walked out of the house, and stood in the small courtyard.

"You want to know if the alchemy is my blessing, right?" After watching Zhao Liang leave, Mother Wu asked quietly.

Mu Qingming was not shocked because the other party guessed what he was thinking, but only bowed slightly. If the soul alchemy was really blessed by Mother Wu, it would not be surprising to be able to guess his confusion.

"On the night after I learned about human bone combs, a woman in a black cloak appeared in my room; She was like a ghost, she appeared out of thin air. She told me that the comb was made of the bones of the eldest lady, and that she could use the soul of the eldest lady to perform alchemy to torture the fourth aunt; I learned it in a fit of rage. But the other party reminded me to pay attention to the fourth aunt's cat, saying that it was a cat demon, maybe it would be protected by animal instinct, and it would destroy the alchemy, so when I saw that you liked the black cat that day, I would remind you to be careful of the black cat. Mother Wu sighed softly, shook her head with a light smile and said, "The other party also told me that you are a dragon locker, as long as you come to the door, you will definitely be aware of it, so you must avoid appearing in the Chen Mansion; I never thought that I was really afraid of something, and it didn't take long for you to come. ”

"The black cat is innocent, it doesn't know what the fourth aunt did." Mu Qingming was slightly stunned again, just because the other party was surprised that he knew that he was a dragon locker; Then he settled down and said thoughtfully: "It's not because I came to the door that you felt that you couldn't delay any longer, and chose to kill the fourth aunt in advance." ”。

As a dragon locker, he naturally knew that soul alchemy belonged to the type of evil art of slow torture, and it was impossible to put people to death all at once. And he had already noticed the existence of evil magic when he came to the door, and Wu's mother should have been afraid that he would ruin his plan, so she chose to kill people in desperation.

"Yes, I am afraid that you will spoil my good deeds; And the alchemy that the black cloak taught me is that as long as the owner of the comb dies, the alchemy will automatically unravel. Mother Wu nodded.

"Do you see the woman's face clearly?" Mu Qing asked expectantly.

"She had a bronze mask on her face, and she didn't see it at all." Mother Wu shook her head gently, and after a little memory when a little loss appeared on Mu Qingming's face, she said, "But she claims to be immortal." ”。

"Immortal Dao?" Mu Qingming was stunned suddenly, these three words were like thunder, making him numb. Unexpectedly, not long ago, my father reminded me to be careful of the Immortal Dao, and today I learned that the Immortal Dao has arrived in Kunming.

And according to Wu's mother's simple description, the woman who taught her soul refining was afraid that she was the same person as the eldest sister he and Mo Han saw in the array that night.

"Hmm." Mother Wu nodded her head and stopped talking.

"Are you done talking?" Zhao Liang, who had finished smoking a paper cigarette in the courtyard outside the house, strode back to the house and shouted a little impatiently.

"We're done." Mother Wu smiled disapprovingly and said to Zhao Liang: "Take me away." ”......

Two days later, it was a sunny day, and the warm sun slowly sprinkled down and covered every corner of Kunming City. When Mu Qingming returned home from work in Kun Bao Zhai, he saw Zhao Liang sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and basking in the sun, waiting for him to come back.

Since the last time Mu Qingming helped him catch the murderer of the Chen Mansion, Zhao Liang's attitude towards him has changed one hundred and eighty degrees. No longer speaks to Mu Qingming's yin and yang weirdness, and is always polite.

Even Mu Qingming's Shiyue didn't bark at him anymore.

"Brother Mu, I'll send you the documents." Seeing Mu Qingming's preoccupied look, Zhao Liang, who got up and took out his documents, asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”。

"Oh, nothing!" Mu Qingming, who was slightly relieved, took the document and looked at it absentmindedly.

He has been wondering for the past few days, why did Mother Wu come to the door as soon as she knew about the human bone comb? And Wu's mother's attitude and behavior of not confessing to herself are also suspicious.

Generally speaking, there is no panic at all after killing, and there are only two types of people who can face it calmly. One is people who have killed too much and have become numb. One is a person who takes the blame for others, because he has not killed anyone, so he can behave calmly.

Not to mention whether Wu's mother is murderous, let's just say that if she is guilty, then who is this person?

When Mu Qingming thought about it again, he came back from buying vegetables and just entered the door, and after seeing that Mu Qingming had already finished work, he twisted the pig tongue in his hand and walked to Mu Qingming, and said happily: "Young master, let's eat braised pig tongue tonight." ”。

"yes, okay." Mu Qingming replied casually absentmindedly.

"Then I'm going to eat." Zhao Liang smiled cheekily and said, "This braised pork tongue is my favorite." ”。

"I should have come back, but the butcher was too stupid." Miao, who has always been talkative, didn't move, and didn't care about Zhao Liang, but just scolded Mu Qingming and complained: "It took a long time to cut a pig's tongue, and it was cut roughly; If you sell it in a restaurant, it won't look good. ”。

After speaking, he lifted the rough incision of the pig's tongue in his hand and shook it in front of Mu Qingming's eyes.

Mu Qingming had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately stared at Miao Jue and asked urgently, "What did you say?" Rough cuts? ”。 As he spoke, he looked at the pig tongue in Miaojue's hand, and indeed the incision was very rough, and it was not as smooth as other pork tongues I had eaten before.

"Yes, this butcher is eighty percent new, and he is clumsy in cutting a pig's tongue." After being stunned for some reason, he continued: "It took two or three knives to cut off the tongue, so don't be a butcher with this knife worker." ”。

Before his words landed, Mu Qingming had already rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, picked up the white vinegar jar on the stove, turned around and strode out.

Mo Han and Mei Xiang, who were left to cook in the kitchen, looked at his departing back and were stunned for a moment, showing a little confusion.

"Young master, what are you doing with white vinegar?" Wonderful is also confused.

Mu Qingming didn't say a word, pulled Zhao Liang and strode away towards the outside of the courtyard.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Liang was also stunned by Mu Qingming's inexplicable actions.

"I'll take you to catch the real murderer." Mu Qing said urgently, and continued to stride forward.

"Isn't Mama Wu the real murderer?" Now Zhao Liang was even more puzzling. But curiosity still drove him, and he followed Mu Qingming towards the entrance of the alley.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you go to Chen's Mansion." Mu Qingming said, speeding up his pace.

The two walked one after the other for a while, and then came to Chen's mansion again.

Because the case of the murderer was caught, the Chen Mansion began to be busy with the funeral of the fourth aunt. There are white silk fluttering everywhere in the house, and paper flowers are hanging high.

In the hall, the tablets and coffins of the four aunts were placed, and the wreaths and paper bundles sent by the guests who got up to offer condolences were arranged on the left and right sides of the coffin.

In the mournful music, green smoke curled. The black cat, who had already stolen out of the courtyard of the Mu family, squatted by the incense burner in front of the coffin of the fourth aunt, looking up at the coffin with a black body and a red cover, full of sadness.

The gloomy old man Chen sat alone on the chair with the red sandalwood inlaid stone back opposite the coffin, and his red eyes looked at the coffin not far away.

"Old Man Chen's day mourns." Zhao Liang stepped forward and said very politely.

"Humph!" Mu Qingming snorted coldly with a calm face, looked at the sad face of Master Chen, and asked in a strange manner: "Master Chen is from a pork guy (the meaning of a man who sells pork in Cantonese), right?" ”。

"Be polite, someone died in someone's house." Before Master Chen could speak, Zhao Liang glared at Mu Qingming, and then scolded in a deep voice: "You are talking in such a weird way, aren't you sprinkling salt on the wounds of the bitter master (the family of the victim in the old murder case)?" ”。

Mu Qingming, who had a cold face, glared back at Zhao Liang, and continued to say in a strange manner: "He is the bitter master, but he is also a murderer. ”。

"The old man doesn't know what Young Master Mu is talking about?" Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, Master Chen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said slowly and weakly.

"Really?" Mu Qingming asked rhetorically, staring at Master Chen and said coldly: "I have always wondered, why didn't Mother Wu recruit herself so quickly?" And I can't understand why Mother Wu is not the cook in your mansion, but she can cut off the tongue of the fourth aunt and make it smooth and flat. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Liang also had a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering what the forensic doctor of the police department said that the fourth aunt's tongue was smooth and flat, and it was cut off by someone, and he suddenly became a little enlightened.

"It's not that the chef doesn't use the knife, so naturally he doesn't have such a clean knife technique." Mu Qingming raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "And when the ladies and young ladies of the big families, the young master and the old man are resting, even the stand-in maids can't enter the house, and Mother Wu won't know this rule if she works in the house for a long time?" ”。

"Do you mean what Mother Wu said, I heard that the fourth aunt said that she was talking in her dreams and revealed the origin of the human bone comb, is this false?" Zhao Liang is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he suddenly thought of this layer.

"It's not all fake, maybe the fourth aunt is too real to say dream words, but it's not Mother Wu who hears dream words!" Mu Qingming raised his hand, pointed to Master Chen in front of him, and said angrily: "It's Master Chen in front of us." ”。

Is Mama Wu offending others? Is the real murderer really Master Chen? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
