Chapter 7: The Ghost Baby Collects Money
Su Qingmomu looked at the person lying on the ground in a daze, then looked at Mu Yuanjing, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Mu Yuanjing stepped forward and shook her hand. Knowing that she has a soft personality and the sudden truth, I'm afraid it will make her sad.
Su Qingmo still had disbelief on his face, and the words he asked were inaudible, "How could it be..."
How could anyone trade the lives of his wife and children who had not yet graduated from school for money?
Mu Yuanjing nodded, "After the accident, I sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of the deceased's husband, and this morning the hidden guard came to report that he was indeed the husband of the deceased." ”
Su Qingmo stopped making a sound, his breathing was so light that he could barely hear it, but he had to accept the facts.
Wei Xu took two steps forward and squatted beside the person who was tied, and slapped the person on the ground twice, and the face that was slapped quickly became red and swollen, which showed how much strength the person who did it used.
The other party didn't react, Wei Xu raised his hand and shook it twice, and the people on the ground woke up slowly.
The man woke up and was still a little unconscious, and only came back to his senses after finding that he was tied up, he looked at the environment around him, and then turned his gaze to the three people standing and said in horror: "Who are you?" ”
Wei Xu glared at him and frightened him: "The one who killed you." ”
The man was really frightened, and cried out, "If you dare to touch me, I will make you die a good death." ”
Wei Xu sneered, "Why do you want me to die a good death, relying on your disgusting evil methods?" ”
Unexpectedly, the secret would be known, and most of the manhood disappeared in an instant, "You, what you say, I don't understand." ”
Wei Xu kicked the man and said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about with me, say, where is the ghost baby offered by you." ”
The man gritted his teeth and didn't speak, letting Wei Xu kick him again and again, and no longer said a word except for a muffled snort.
Su Qingmo stopped Wei Xu's movements and said, "If you don't tell the whereabouts of the ghost baby, tonight will be your time of death." ”
Looking at the man's obviously disbelieving look, Su Qingmo continued: "The Yin wood doll that the ghost baby used to attach to has been burned, and half of the effect of refining ghosts and moving gold has been destroyed. ”
Su Qingmo's words made the man's face show a puzzled look, "I didn't kill anyone." ”
Wei Xu stepped forward and gave him a kick, "Don't tell the truth." ”
The man's face changed suddenly because of the pain, "I really didn't kill anyone, I haven't heard of a ghost fetus or anything at all." ”
Wei Xu stepped forward and kicked him again in hatred, "It's not who you are, say." ”
The man's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, and he stammered a little: "It's Liu, Widow Liu, that woodcarved doll was given to me by Widow Liu." ”
In addition to Su Qingmo, Mu Yuanjing and Wei Xu both knew who Widow Liu was.
Su Qingmo blinked suspiciously, and Mu Yuanjing smiled, "I'll tell you later." ”
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he didn't need Wei Xu to make many moves before the man said an address, Mu Yuanjing gestured to Wei Xu with his eyes, and Wei Xu raised his hand and knocked the man unconscious.
"Take people into custody and put them in prison, send people to arrest Widow Liu, and try them in the yamen of the hidden world after half an hour."
When Wei Xu was about to drag people away, he heard Mu Yuanjing ask, "Is the Acropolis back?" ”
Wei Xu nodded, "I just arrived in the middle of the night last night." ”
Acropolis and Wei Xu are friends who have played with bare butts since childhood, Wei Xu recommended the Acropolis to Mu Yuanjing after entering the Hidden World Ya, Mu Yuanjing saw that the Acropolis was very good, so he hired the Acropolis exceptionally, which is why Wei Xu is so loyal to Mu Yuanjing.
Hearing that the Acropolis was back, Mu Yuanjing thought for a while and ordered: "Leave the matter of dealing with the ghost baby to the Acropolis, and you go and tell him in person." ”
Wei Xu responded, and then carried people out of the secret room, Mu Yuanjing took Su Qingmo's hand and left from the dark room, the two walked into Moxiangju, Mu Yuanjing said: "Change your clothes and go with me, okay?" ”
Su Qingmo nodded and walked into the inner room to change clothes, and when Su Qingmo changed his clothes and came out, Mu Yuanjing had already changed his clothes and waited outside, and the two of them went out of the Linchuan Mansion and took a carriage to the yamen where the Yinshi Ya specialized in office.
The atmosphere in the yamen was solemn and quiet, many people walked around in the yamen, but there was no extra sound, Mu Yuanjing took people to sit in the main hall.
A handsome-looking man walked from outside the door, he looked about the same age as Wei Xu.
Su Qingmo vaguely felt that the person who came was a little familiar, until the person bowed down and saluted: "Subordinate to the Acropolis, meet the prince, meet the princess." ”
She remembered that the leader of the team that went to the Su family to welcome her relatives that day was this man named Acropolis.
After the acropolis saluted, he said to Mu Yuanjing: "Lord Wang, the things you ordered your subordinates to do have been done, and Wei Xu has also taken the prisoners into prison. ”
"Then the trial will be held." After a pause, Mu Yuanjing asked Su Qingmo beside him softly: "Qingmo, do you want to hear the trial process?" ”
Su Qingmo didn't know what he meant, Mu Yuanjing smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't go to the main hall, but you can listen to it in the back of the hall." ”
Wei Xu said last night that the prince treated the princess differently, and the acropolis was still a little unconvinced, but when he saw the current situation, he had to believe it.
Su Qingmo happily responded, followed behind Mu Yuanjing and walked to the front of the ya, the cases of the hidden world are all tried in private, so unlike ordinary yamen, the people can watch, the family of the deceased was originally allowed to listen to the court with the court, but considering the relationship between the suspect and the deceased, Mu Yuanjing did not let people notify the deceased's mother-in-law.
Mu Yuanjing sat in the hall and looked at a pair of men and women who were escorted to the hall, "Why did you two get arrested, just explain it yourself." ”
The pair of men and women below shrunk their shoulders, the man raised his eyes and looked at the people sitting in the lower hall, his lips moved and said: "The villain's name is Chen Xuan, he lives in the eastern district of the capital, and the villain really doesn't know what crime he has committed." ”
"You don't know what crime you have committed. Do you need a reminder from this king? ”
Chen Xuan stopped talking, and Mu Yuanjing was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Two nights ago, there was a corpse shredding case in the south of the city, the deceased was stunned by the forbidden soul, and he was conscious but could not feel the pain, and the murderer took out the fetus that had formed in the deceased's abdomen. “
"He used a locust wooden skewer to pick up the nails of the deceased, and then pulled them out violently, and when the deceased was tortured and killed but did not lose his breath, the murderer used a pig-killing knife to dissect the deceased's body, and the murderer threw away the chest and abdomen that had been disemboweled, took away the head, and left the deceased's stump at the scene of the crime, you don't know, do you?"
The more Mu Yuanjing said that Chen Xuan's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Mu Yuanjing looked at the woman who knelt beside Chen Xuan and never spoke, "Widow Liu, do you know who was killed in Chengnan?" ”
Chen Xuan heard people talk about the murder case in the south of the city, saying that a pregnant woman was brutally murdered and dismembered, and even the child in her womb was taken away.
Pitiful indeed.
The woman who knelt on the belt and was called Widow Liu continued to be silent.
Mu Yuanjing spoke slowly, and the words were clear, "Wu Yuanniang." ”
Widow Liu insisted on not saying a word, Chen Xuan on the side suddenly became difficult, he glared at the woman on the side, and pounced on her neck when the guards of the Hidden World were not paying attention, "It's you, it's you who killed Yuan Niang, and the children of me and Yuan Niang." ”
The person who was choked by Chen Xuan was the widow Liu who eloped with Chen Xuan a few months ago.
At this time, although Widow Liu was choked by the neck, her face was purple, with obsessive love in her eyes, and a faint smile on her face, and she said with difficulty: "Ah Xuan, I am all... For you..."
Chen Xuan was pulled away by the guards around him, and his red eyes still wanted to pounce on Widow Liu.
Widow Liu straightened the hair that fell to her cheeks, this is a woman with charm in her gestures, not pretty, but it is indeed a little different from the widow next to her, she looked at Mu Yuanjing at the top, and asked calmly: "What do you want to know?" ”
Mu Yuanjing's face did not fluctuate, "You killed the person?" ”
Widow Liu didn't say yes or no, she just glanced at Chen Xuan who was being held next to her, and asked a little sadly: "Why do you blame me, didn't we say it was okay at the beginning, when you win enough money, we will leave the capital and live together somewhere else for the rest of our lives." ”
Chen Xuan's eyes were red, and he glared at her resentfully, "But the person you killed was Yuan Niang, and she still has my child in her belly." ”
He has been looking forward to the child for many years, if he knew that Yuan Niang was pregnant, he would not have left with Widow Liu, and now even if he regrets Yuan Niang and the child, he will not be able to come back.
Chen Xuan looked at the woman not far away, she was such a tender woman, she coaxed him to love and pity him on weekdays, but now he just wanted to kill her to avenge his wife and children.
As if she was really puzzled, Widow Liu frowned and wondered: "What is the difference between Yuan Niang's child and others, after we leave the capital, Yuan Niang will have to raise the child alone, very tired, I have helped her and you by doing this, the one in her womb is your child, and your child and your lady should pay more for you." ”
Su Qingmo sat behind the screen and was amazed by this person's perverted brain circuit.
Widow Liu in the hall continued to ask, "Ah Xuan, do you still blame me now?" ”
Chen Xuan's eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding, "I don't blame you, I hate you, I can't wait for you to die." ”
Widow Liu's face finally changed, her lips trembled, and she murmured a little dejectedly: "Sure enough, as she said, as long as Yuan Niang and the child are here, you will not leave with me." ”
The 'she' in Widow Liu's mouth attracted Mu Yuanjing's attention, "Who is she in your mouth?" ”
Widow Liu slowly turned her head to look at the people sitting in the hall, her pale face was strangely calm, "Yuan Niang's death has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill her, that's right, I am jealous of her, jealous that she has Ah Xuan's company and care." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Chen Xuan gently and continued: "Ah Xuan and I met half a year ago, I like him, so I tried my best to seduce him, knowing that he agreed to elope with me, so we left the south of the city, and we didn't have much money on us, so we could only live in the slums in the east of the city, where it was dirty, messy and smelly, I could bear it, but I couldn't let Ah Xuan follow me to endure it, I was willing to do anything for him." ”
"So you killed Wu Yuanniang."
Widow Liu shook her head, "I really didn't kill people. ”
The trial of the case came to an impasse, and Mu Yuanjing was about to open his mouth when he saw Fang Mubei coming from outside the hall, Fang Mubei approached Mu Yuanjing's ear and said something, and Mu Yuanjing's eyes flashed with obvious coldness.
Mu Yuanjing glanced at the left hand that had been hidden in the sleeve by Widow Liu after ascending to the hall, "Stretch out your left hand." ”
Widow Liu's body stiffened, and her left hand in her sleeve moved slightly.
Mu Yuanjing's pupils were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Stretch out." ”
Widow Liu subconsciously curled up her left hand, and after a moment had to slowly stretch it out of her sleeve.
Mu Yuanjing's tone was slightly cold, "Where is the little finger of your left hand?" ”
Widow Liu's voice trembled slightly, "When you cut vegetables... Accidentally cut off..."
Cutting vegetables can actually cut off the little finger, not to mention others, even if Widow Liu herself is afraid, it is hard to believe.
"When was it cut off?"
Widow Liu's eyes were a little evasive, "Just... Just a few days ago. ”
Mu Yuanjing slowed down for a moment, and when she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly spoke: "Maybe you don't know yet, just now, a corpse was salvaged in the south of the city, and the corpse happened to be a woman's chest and abdomen, do you know where it was salvaged?" ”
Cold sweat gradually flowed down her cheeks on Widow Liu's forehead, and her face was pale and she remained silent.
Mu Yuanjing continued: "The corpse was fished out from the well next door to the accident's house, and after an examination, a little finger phalanx was found in the stomach of the corpse, do you know whose it is?" ”
Every time Mu Yuanjing said a word, Widow Liu's head was in a little more cold sweat, and after Mu Yuanjing finished speaking, she calmed down.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her head, her body straightened, and her face was pale and there was no emotion.
"The person who killed Wu Yuanniang is you, what this king said is right." Mu Yuanjing looked at Widow Liu coldly.
There was no need to resist anymore, Widow Liu exhaled slowly, and Mu Yuanjing looked at her quietly.
"I really didn't kill people, I'm just an accomplice."
