"What else is strange?"

The woman from Yin and Yang Sect stared at him with interest, and her beautiful eyes flashed slightly.

Chen Mu pointed to the bones on the ground and said:

"Some of the bones of Mu Dahe and his son had obvious cracks, which meant they had been knocked. I guess they suffered extremely severe torture during their lifetime.

And strangely, there were no cracks found on Mrs. Mu Dahe’s bone block.”

When everyone heard this, they all came forward.

After carefully observing the three corpses, I found that it was consistent with what Chen Mu said.

Captain Hu frowned: "This shows that although the murderer killed the three of them, he was quite angry with Mu Dahe and his son and tortured them before his death."

"That's right."

Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief, "This can narrow the range of the murderer. People who are in conflict with this father and son are suspected of being suspected."

Captain Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Many people have had evil with this father and son, and many of them want to kill this father and son.

Take the fire that day for example. In fact, many people were watching the fire extinguishing, but they deliberately delayed the time behind their backs, hoping to burn the father and son to death.

According to this statement, it is estimated that the murderer may be hidden in the firefighter."

Chen Mu remained silent.

What the other party said makes sense.

Perhaps the murderer was hiding among the people who were putting out the fire at that time.

In terms of criminal psychology in previous lives, this situation is still very common.

But the biggest doubt at present is that since this case is artificial, what role did the snake demon participate in?

Did you just come over and make some soy sauce?

After leaving the charity village, Chen Mu asked Captain Hu to find the first person who discovered the fire at that time.

He took Zhang Awei and the woman to the fire ruins again.

On the way, Chen Mu asked the woman from Yinyang Sect: "Senior, is there a magic trick that can confuse people's minds?"

"have!"

The woman said lightly, "But if you want to deceive others, it will cost a lot of energy. At least it cannot be done with the ability of the snake demon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After re-inspecting the fire scene several times, Chen Mu finally made a discovery again.

Under a broken beam, some burnt herbs were dug out, and it was vaguely seen that the green leaves had light pink tentacles.

"Do you recognize what kind of medicinal herb this?"

Chen Mu gave it to the woman of Yin and Yang Sect.

The woman only glanced at her and replied, "It's Quinine."

"Quinine? What is it for?"

“Abortion!”

“…”

Chen Mu was stunned.

He stroked the medicinal materials in his hand, and a bright light flashed across his eyes, and waved his hand to call Zhang Awei: "Take this medicinal materials and go to the pharmacy in the town to ask one by one, and ask who bought it."

"I know the head of the class."

Zhang Awei took the medicinal herbs and left in a hurry.

Perhaps he was lucky, but Zhang Awei rushed back in less than twenty minutes and said breathlessly:

"It was bought by Mu Dahe, and it's at a nearby pharmacy."

Mu Dahe?

While Chen Mu was thinking, Captain Hu came with an old man in his fifties.

"Brother Chen, his name is Wu Shigui, who was the first to discover that the Mu family was on fire, and called neighboring villagers to come and put out the fire."

Chen Mu looked at him.

The latter was a little restrained and nodded and greeted: "Xiaomin greets the official."

"When did you find the house on fire?"

Chen Mu asked directly.

Old Man Wu honestly replied: "It is probably around the beginning of the Xu hour."

At the beginning of the Xu hour?

At that time, Mu Erhe, who was far away in Qingyu County, had already attacked his niece, and the "corpse" was also taken away by the snake demon...

Chen Mu took out a small notebook and wrote down the timeline, and asked again: "Have you heard shouts coming from the house?"

"Yes, and there is also the sound of smashing the door."

"The sound of smashing the door?" Chen Mu's eyes were sharp. "That is to say, the door inside could not be opened?"

"It should be so. I guess the fire was too big and the door was blocked by something. I wanted to save it, but I couldn't get close to the house."

A little shame appeared on Old Man Wu's face.

"When you asked other neighbors for help, was there any sound inside?"

"No more, everyone was in a hurry at that time. Anyway, I didn't hear any sound of smashing the door anymore, so I guess I fainted."

Old Man Wu said.

Chen Mu gently tapped the notebook with the charcoal pen between his fingers, carefully chewing on the information hidden in the other person's words.

Afterwards, he asked a few more questions and asked Old Man Wu to leave.

Chen Mu put away the record book and said to Captain Hu:

"Just just now, I found some herbs from the ruins, which were quinine for abortion.

I asked Awei to investigate and found out that it was bought by Mu Dahe from a nearby drugstore. What does Brother Hu think about this?"

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Captain Hu immediately raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself:

"Is the rumors true?"

"What rumors?"

Chen Mu suddenly smelled the aura of gossip.

Captain Hu pursed his lips and said:

"Mu Xiang'er's mother was also a lady from a wealthy family before and was pretty, but later she elopes with a poor scholar and ruins her reputation."

"elopement?"

"Yes, her family arrested her and punished her severely, and then sold her to Mu Dahe, giving birth to a man and a woman."

Captain Hu paused and continued:

"But last year the scholar came back and became a businessman. He also visited Mrs. Mu and left some money behind.

Somehow, he made a lot of rumors and said that Mrs. Mu and the scholar had a relationship with each other.

Mu Dahe was originally an irritable person. During those days, he beat his wife every day and almost caused a life.

Even so, many people really believe that the scholar and Mrs. Mu had ignited the old relationship.

Now it seems that Mrs. Mu is afraid…”

Captain Hu did not continue to say it, but Chen Mu understood the meaning.

It was nothing more than Mrs. Mu accidentally ruined the scholar's child after cheating. When Mu Dahe learned about it, he beat his wife and bought medicine for an abortion.

"What about the scholar?"

"He left Maling County by boat this morning and went to Xiangzhou."

Captain Hu said.

After saying that, his face suddenly changed and he stared at Chen Mu: "By the way, he also participated in putting out the fire. Could it be... this scholar did it!"

Chen Mu didn't say anything.

From the current point of view, if Mrs. Mu really had an abortion, the scholar's suspicion would definitely be the greatest!

But it's just a doubt.

"It's interesting. The case is getting deeper and deeper, and all kinds of messy information emerges."

Chen Mu laughed at himself.

At this moment, he hoped that the case was done by a monster, at least he would not have to have such a headache.
