Chapter 145 Closing
He forced himself to calm down, and then dealt with the scene of the incident methodically and carefully under the pressure of nervous nerves.

Taking a sack from home when no one was around, packing, binding, and throwing the body were done in one go.

"Chen and Gu are married, and life and death are closely linked. Chen Nan does not recognize the perpetrator, his father bribes the court, and the officials protect each other."

"In [-], on the fifteenth day of the winter moon, in order to marry Gu Yuan, Chen Nan vowed to go to the next year's exam to become the No. Poor that idiotic man, he sacrificed to heaven with Gu Er in his belly! Sacrificial to heaven!"

"Ridiculous!" Chen Shixi trembled with anger, slapped the armrest of the wooden chair, and stood up abruptly.

The loud music stopped abruptly, and the movements of the artists behind the scenes also stopped.

The boiling crowd in the audience also became silent at this moment, and the lively atmosphere cooled down instantly.

This loud shout successfully diverted everyone's attention to the shed. Looking at the people whispering and whispering to each other, Chen Shixi felt guilty and deeply annoyed at the same time.

But because of his weak body, and even more because of the lack of anger, Chen Shixi's head felt dizzy, his eyes turned black and he almost fell down.

Seeing this, Duofu hurried forward to support him: "Master!"

Chen Shixi ignored Duofu's concern, but reprimanded loudly: "Who wrote the script, dare to wantonly spread rumors about my son's reputation, do you know what punishment he will face? Who is it? Stand up for me!"

The entertainers look at me and I look at you, and they don't know how to answer Chen Shixi's words, because the script was not written by them at all, but...

"Mr. Chen, be safe and don't be impatient."

A cool female voice came from behind, and Chen Shixi's pupils shrank suddenly.

He turned around and looked at Xu Ruqing, the hostility in his eyes was extremely obvious: "It's you, Miss Xu, no, it should be called Princess Wei."

"The title Wei Wangfei is just a dispensable name, Mr. Chen, you don't have to be polite."

"Heh, you said that you invited me to watch a play, and that's it? Tell me, what is your real purpose for asking me to come?"

Xu Ruqing sneered, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "My concubine is a woman of the generation. She is neither familiar with 36 tactics nor read Sun Tzu's Art of War, so how can she understand the twists and turns. Watching a play is just watching a show, and it seems that the purpose is pure." The concubine is full of tricks."

Scheming?Fortunately, this woman is still a little self-aware, and she knows how to describe herself as scheming.

Using this word to describe her is an understatement. It should be said that she is sinister and cunning!

"Concubine Wei's eloquence speaks well, which impresses me. However, in my opinion, today's play is not very good. It's really boring. I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Let me leave."

Chen Shixi gave Duofu a look, and Duofu helped him out of the shed knowingly.

But before they took half a step out of the shed, Xuan Ye pulled out his saber and stopped in front of the two, with killing intent in his eyes, as if to say, 'If you dare to take a step forward, you will die! '

Duofu supported Chen Shixi and couldn't help taking two steps back.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shixi looked at Xu Ruqing warily.

Xu Ruqing looked at him intently, the two of them were like a playful cat and a photophobic mouse. "I'm leaving now? The play is not over yet, isn't Mr. Chen curious about the ending?"

"Heh, it's just the imagination of the joker. How can there be a reasonable ending if there is no logic at all? The key to solving a case is based on facts, not imagination. Princess Wei should understand this truth better than her subordinates when she is at the top."

Xu Ruqing nodded in agreement: "Mr. Chen is right."

"Xuan Ye."

"Subordinates are here."

"Mr. Chen wants evidence, bring it up to him."

"Yes."

After a while, two officials from the government carried the body up.

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, Xu Ruqing lifted a corner of the head for the convenience of inspection, revealing a blackened and slightly decayed face.

Chen Shixi was horrified when he saw it, and couldn't stop his stomach churning: "This is?"

"Have you forgotten Mr. Chen? This is your child's mother, Wu Xiulian."

"!!!"

"Look at her appearance, even if she dies, she refuses to rest in peace. It shows how much she hates her."

When Chen Shixi saw Wu Xiulian's appearance, he said that he was not afraid, it was a lie, and when Xu Ruqing said that, it was a war between the two.

He forced himself to calm down: "Stop talking nonsense, didn't you say you want to show me the evidence, where is the evidence?!"

Xu Ruqing unhurriedly took out Wu Xiulian's hand, and said, "Did you see the blood in her nails? It was left by her scratching when she resisted your atrocities. Judging from the degree of wear and tear of the nails, it can be seen that Wu Xiulian was under the knife at that time. With enough strength, the injured person's wound must be deep, and it will not heal within seven days."

"If you really didn't do anything to her, how do you explain the scar on your right hand?"

Hearing this, Chen Shixi subconsciously covered his right hand.

That's right, he almost forgot that this injury was left by Wu Xiulian on his body that day, how could he be so careless and forget about it.

"This doesn't prove anything. The wound on my hand was accidentally cut by a knife. It wasn't hurt by Wu Xiulian at all. It's just a coincidence."

Xu Ruqing just smiled indifferently.

Xiao Mian, my sister already guessed that you would say that.

"Okay, just pretend that what you said is true, it's just a coincidence."

"Xuan Ye."

Xuan Ye understood, went down and brought up the person who had been called in advance.

"The woman kowtows to see the princess."

"Exemption."

Chen Shixi looked at the woman in front of him, but didn't recognize her: "Who is she? I have never seen this person before."

"She is a well-known sitting woman in ten miles and eight villages, and she is a person who specializes in the affairs of men and women. It is not surprising that Mr. Chen doesn't know her."

Xu Ruqing squatted down again and lifted the white cloth, revealing the corpse's pale thighs. There were purple-black corpse spots on the base of the thighs, and besides that, there were some inconspicuous bruises.

"We tested a little bodily fluid that did not belong to the deceased's lower body, and preliminarily determined that she had had intimate contact with the opposite sex within half an hour before her death."

"I remember that when I asked you the second question yesterday, you said that you and Wu Xiulian hadn't seen each other for half a month. If this is true, let the sitting lady test the two of you, and you will know if it is true or not."

Chen Shixi was dumbfounded, he never expected that Xu Ruqing, a woman, would have such an ability to completely see through all his motives.

His heart was ashamed, and it seemed that he couldn't escape today.

Xu Ruqing said to the servant standing behind Mrs. Sitting: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and ask Mr. Chen to go down for a physical examination."

"No need!"
