Chapter 323 The Pretender!(2/3)
Mrs. Du, this most easily overlooked person.
It's now at such a critical moment!
Isn't she dead?
Yes, she is already dead, and there is a high probability that she will really die, so she will never be able to play the resurrection set.
After all, if he had faked his death, Du Piwu would have identified it long ago.
"I have investigated Mrs. Du before. She became Du Piwu's concubine more than a year ago. Later, after Du Piwu's wife died, she became the throne. This woman is a bit extreme and her servants often beat and scold her."
Bai Xianyu said softly. "It is very consistent according to the timeline. After all, Ma Luozi was beheaded two years ago."
There was a silence in the presence.
If it is true, then Mrs. Du entered the prefect more than a year ago, and her purpose must be to avenge her husband.
But how did she get favored by the prefect?
After all, he is not very beautiful.
Yun Zhiyue next to her was puzzled: "Since I chose to take revenge more than a year ago, why didn't I take action? It's the best opportunity for couples to have a bed together."
This is indeed a doubt.
It is said that Lord Du loves this lady quite well.
So Mrs. Du had many opportunities to assassinate the other party, but she never took action and now she died in a bad life.
What exactly is she waiting for?
Besides, Lord Du is still alive and dies in Chou Chou.
"Actually there is something very strange."
Bai Xianyu slightly turned her beautiful face and stared at Chen Mu and said, "I have observed Du Piwu before and found that he liked Mrs. Du a little. But after Mrs. Du died, he was very cold."
"This Lord Du is really strange."
Chen Mu nodded.
Although he had never seen this legendary prefect, he still knew something from the words and phrases of others.
This person has outstanding governance abilities.
Under his governance, the originally chaotic Dongzhou City is now peaceful, and even the Heaven and Earth Association is much more stable.
But his shortcomings are also obvious.
He has all the attributes that corrupt officials should have.
Therefore, the evaluation and attitudes of all officials in the court are polarized. Some people value them, and some people disdain them.
Now Chen Mu has come to the other party’s territory.
It's also considered close contact.
I always feel that this Lord Du is covered with a mysterious veil, as if there are countless disguises, which are hard to understand."
Chen Mu put away the portrait of Ma Xuan's wife and daughter.
He looked at the old turtle: "When was the last time that mother and daughter came? What did they say in front of the tombstone?"
Lao Gui said: "It was almost ten days since the mother and daughter came together last time, but a few days later the daughter came alone and didn't see her mother. As for what they said, I really didn't hear this. The girl's cultivation is really strong and she dared not get close, for fear of being discovered by her."
Chen Mu's expression moved.
In this way, it is very likely that Mrs. Du is really dead.
Who killed it?
The headless general is obviously unlikely and does not match the current clues.
Then there is a great suspicion that only Du Piwu is left!
Perhaps it was because Mrs. Du's identity was exposed that Du Piwu had the intention to kill.
After all, Mrs. Du is the wife and daughter of an imperial official. If she is killed rashly, it will cause trouble, so Du Piwu took the opportunity to disguise himself as a case similar to the headless general.
Although this is just a guess, Chen Mu has a very strong intuition.
Du Piwu is absolutely inseparable from the death of his wife.
Chen Mu thought about it carefully for a while and continued to ask about other information about Ma Xuan's wife and daughter, but unfortunately Lao Gui had limited knowledge.
After confirming that there was no omission, Chen Mu turned the topic to the temple.
"What does this temple have to do with Wuchen Village?"
Chen Mu asked.
The old turtle's wrinkled face had a strange expression: "Do you know this temple has something to do with Wuchen Village?"
"Just answer my question!"
Chen Mu's face was cold.
Seeing Chen Mu picking up the stone and staring at his toes, the old turtle hurriedly said, "I don't know much about the old turtle. I probably know that this temple is a secret sacrificial place in Wuchen Village."
"Sacrificial place?"
Chen Mu frowned, "A fire broke out in Wuchen Village nine years ago. Do you know what's going on?"
"I really don't know about this old turtle. Wuchen Village is actually very far away from this temple."
The turtle demon shook his head vigorously, fearing that Chen Mu would not believe it, so he stretched out his hands to swear. "I swear, old man, I don't need to lie to you, but something really happened in this temple nine years ago."
"What's the matter?" Chen Mu's eyes froze.
The turtle demon's eyes fell in front of the dilapidated temple gate, with a hint of fear:
"I still remember that incident very clearly. At that time, a little girl was sacrificed by them. When I listened to the villagers' conversation, it seemed that the little girl was a demon baby or something."
"What about it later?"
"Later, after their sacrifice was completed, there was a change."
"What kind of change?"
The turtle demon said, "The little girl seemed to be possessed after her death. Many people from Wuchen Village who came to the temple died, and the death was extremely tragic. I was also frightened at that time and escaped through the cracks in the rock wall."
Chen Mujunlang's cheeks showed a solemn expression, and his heart seemed to be pressed by an invisible stone.
This is not much different from the situation after the previous investigation.
The little girl named Zhenzhen should have been stimulated to have the demonic energy in her body, causing abnormal changes.
And Xiao Xuan'er may be Zhen Zhen's incarnation after her death.
"By the way, have you ever seen a man?" Chen Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows and told the Turtle Demon the general appearance of Lord Gao's altar to the Turtle Demon.
Su Qiaoer had tracked the Lord of the High Hall before and came here.
This person also has a big problem.
"The old turtle has seen the man you described, but he has not entered the temple. He has only met the young girl in the cave outside."
The old turtle pointed to the external channel.
In other words, the Lord Gaotan met with Ma Luozi's daughter.
But what is their relationship?
Chen Mu fell into thought for a moment.
I always feel that there is a gap in the middle and cannot be connected together.
After thinking for no success, Chen Mu continued to ask about other things.
However, Lao Gui didn't know much useful information, and he stopped asking questions until he had no clues to dig.
"Young man, you can let me go now."
The turtle demon pinched and smiled embarrassedly.
Chen Mu turned around and said casually: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
The turtle demon suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yun Zhiyue suddenly waved her natal sword and cut her head down.
"Beautiful work, ma'am."
Chen Mu stretched out his thumb and gave Yun Zhiyue a thumbs up.
Yun Zhiyue pursed her pink lips: "This old thing must have harmed many good women, and killing him can be considered as a way to eliminate the harm."
"For husband, I like the chivalrous heart of my wife."
Chen Mu continued to lick.
To be honest, he has not really treated Yun Zhiyue as a "dog licking" so far.
I don't know when I will get what I want.
To be continued...
