Chu Xian smiled at this moment: "Chu came here to ask this, Lord Mu, please take a seat." ”

Mu Sicheng nodded and sat on the chair, at this time Pan Wenxiang said: "The two adults are talking about the facts of a serious case, Pan will avoid it, if there is another sending, just send someone to call me." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went out, obviously not intending to get involved.

"Wu Wenwen. Chu Xian said at this time, Wu Juzheng immediately sat down, took out the paper, condensed the righteous pen, and prepared to record, Namu Sicheng looked so formal, smiled slightly, but did not say anything.

Chu Xian arched his hand at this time: "Chu is young and vigorous, maybe the way of speaking and asking things will be more direct, if there is something offended, I hope that Lord Mu Haihan, don't go to your heart." ”

Mu Sicheng nodded: "It should be so, this is what Chu Tuiguan does, be serious, there is no problem." ”

"That's good. Chu Xian nodded at this time: "Then, let's start." ”

"Yes. ”

The two looked at each other, and Chu Xian asked: "Lord Mu, I need to know all the details when you got the appointment and when you started to go to the Immortal Palace, of course, after all, ten years, Lord Mu may not remember very clearly, but it doesn't matter, just say as much as you remember, but remember, only say what is certain, guess or uncertain, don't say it, so as not to be misled." ”

Musi Cheng said: "I understand this, then I want to think about it, it was a night ten years ago, I was still a director of the Criminal Department, because I started as a master in my early years, and later I was admitted to the list of students, and this craft became a signboard, because I was going to the fairy palace, and I couldn't go to the general work, so I went." At that time, I only knew that there were internal guards in the fairy palace who died violently, and I didn't know the specific situation at all, and when I went, I only saw sixteen corpses lying on the ground, and the Shangguan ordered to find out the cause of death of these internal guards, so I went to the autopsy, and at that time I examined three corpses, all of which were killed by a sword piercing the heart, and I also said at that time that this murderer must be a master with a sword......

At this time, Chu Xian suddenly said: "I have read the corpse book written by Master Mu, it seems that most of the internal guards are swords in the heart. ”

Mu Si Cheng was stunned: "Well, this is indeed the case. ”

Chu Xian said again: "By the way, Lord Namu still remembers whether these internal guards were lying down or lying on their stomachs at that time, and what was their position." ”

Mu Si Cheng was stunned again, this, he seems to have written it too, but since Chu Xian has read the corpse book, why should he ask himself? However, Mu Si Cheng did not show impatience, but retold it according to what he described in the corpse book at that time.

Chu Xian nodded again and again: "Lord Mu has a really good memory, and what he said is almost exactly the same as what is written in the corpse book." ”

Mu Si Cheng couldn't figure out what the strings were doing, so he also smiled: "That's natural, after all, I wrote this corpse book, and it's not surprising to remember it." ”

Chu Xian nodded, and then said: "Can Lord Namu judge from the positions and wounds of these internal guards, who was killed first and who was killed later, whether there was a fight and what is the order?"

This time, Mu Temple Cheng frowned.

"This, at that time, was not examined, and it must have been quite difficult to deduce this, so according to the rules for recording corpses, it was not written. ”

"Oh, it turns out that there is still this rule, but it doesn't matter, Master Mu is not good at it, Chu is good at it, here is a piece of paper, and I also ask Lord Mu to simply draw the position, posture, and direction of the sixteen corpses at that time. As he spoke, Chu Xian took a piece of paper and handed it over.

Mu Sicheng glanced at Chu Xian, and then said with a smile: "It is said that Chu Tuiguan has a set of skills to investigate and judge the murderer, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, okay, I will mark it for you, of course, there may be discrepancies." ”

Chu Xian hurriedly answered: "But there must be little difference, after all, Master Mu has such a good memory, and it is the scene of your personal inspection, if it is just a simple mark, it should not be a problem." ”

This time, Mu Sicheng frowned, did not speak, but pondered for a long time, and then used a pen, simply drew a few times on the paper, and wrote for a while.

Then he handed the paper to Chu Xian.

"That's pretty much it, the name of the deceased, the location of the fall, the posture, and the location of the fatal wound, I have roughly marked it, of course, there may be some discrepancies, after all, I didn't pay much attention to this at the time. After Mu Sicheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "But then again, in my opinion, these things don't matter much, in fact, they are meaningless, murderers must be sudden killers, so it is not surprising that the sword in the heart is superb, plus the murderer's swordsmanship is superb, far more powerful than those internal guards, this can kill sixteen internal guards in a short period of time." ”

Chu Xian shook his head: "In the past ten years, all the meaningful clues have been turned over, isn't it still impossible to find out why, so it's better to find another shortcut and look at these useless clues, maybe, there will be discoveries." ”

Mu Temple was stunned.

Chu Xian's words are not to refute him, but to say a truth, indeed, those valuable clues in common sense cognition have been studied for a long time, and obviously no valuable clues can be found at all, so Chu Xian found another shortcut, which is also tenable.

At this time, Chu Xian looked at the patterns on the paper carefully, and did not lie for a full cup of tea, and Mu Sicheng did not urge, but drank the tea slowly.

At this time, Chu Xian put down the paper in his hand and asked again: "Master Mu, it was described in the corpse book that year, sixteen internal guards, all of whom died by swords, and their souls were missing, and they suspected that their souls were destroyed, so I have two questions to ask here." ”

"Chu Tuiguan, please speak. Mu Temple Cheng smiled.

"Sixteen internal guards, Lord Mu checked one by one to confirm that each one of them was dead. As soon as Chu Xian asked the first question, Mu Sicheng's face changed.

"Chu Tuiguan, what do you mean by this? Do you think that Mu Mou was derelict in his duty and wrote a corpse book indiscriminately?"

It is normal for Mu Si Cheng to be anxious, after all, Chu Xian's words are doubting the other party's integrity, which is a very serious accusation for an official, even if Mu Si Cheng has a good temper, he will be anxious.

Chu Xian shook his head: "This is just a routine question, I need to confirm that Lord Mu will not have the kind of thing that the situation was chaotic at that time, and all the internal guards were not completely checked, or there was an omission." ”

"No way, if there is an omission, this official will not write it in the corpse book. Mu Si Cheng immediately shook his head and flatly denied it.

Chu Xian asked again: "The sixteen internal guards, are they all personally inspected by Master Mu, and are there any others to help?"

"This ......" This time, Mu Sicheng hesitated, thought for a while and said: "At that time, there was another official who checked with me, I checked the bodies of ten internal guards, and the remaining six were inspected by that official, and the results were all the same, and there was no discrepancy. ”

"Good. Chu Xian continued: "The official who assisted Lord Mu in examining the corpse, let's talk later, have the souls of the sixteen internal guards been confirmed to be destroyed, and have they been confirmed with the underworld?"

Mu Sicheng no longer has the initial calmness at this moment, obviously, he is a little anxious to be asked by Chu Xian, not to mention, he also feels that the inspection back then, because of the tight time, in fact, can still find some mistakes, just like an autopsy, it was checked by him and another official, so there may be mistakes.

However, on the question of whether those internal guards were exterminated, Mu Sicheng obviously had confidence, he said: "As far as I know, the book of life and death of the underworld can only record whether the person is dead, but whether the soul is extinguished, there is no record in the book of life and death, and at that time, it was indeed for the underworld to look for the souls of these dead, and found nothing, so it was recognized as being exterminated, which is also normal, the murderer's means are extremely high, how can he leave people's souls, they must all be killed, killed and killed." ”

Chu Xian shook his head: "This Chu naturally knows, what I'm talking about is whether I have confirmed with the hell whether the sixteen internal guards are really dead." ”

Mu Sicheng was stunned this time, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and understood at the moment: "Chu Tuiguan, do you mean that someone cheated to death?"

"It's not that there is no possibility, if the murderer is one of the internal guards, steal the treasure first, and then kill people, hide it, of course, you also need a helper to cover it, so that the murderer can be transported out of the fairy palace in a grand and honest manner, so that the gods are unaware, and because they have been confirmed dead, there is no need to check the book of life and death with the underworld. After Chu Xian finished speaking, Mu Sicheng over there looked suddenly, as if he was thinking about the possibility of this matter.

And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and his face changed at the moment, and then he said: "If this is the case, it is really a clever plan, but, those internal guards, I and another official are personally inspecting, how can someone fake their death without knowing." ”

"So, that murderer needs a helper to help him cover up, now, Mu Sicheng knows why Chu asked you to interrogate, right?" Chu Xian's expression was cold at this time, and there was no kindness in his tone.

Mu Sicheng's chest rose and fell, but he shook his head again and again: "No, I didn't help people to cover, and the internal guards I checked were all fine." ”

"Who can prove it? After all, you were the one who wrote the corpse book at that time, and it has your signature on it, so you can't be wrong, right? And you said that another official assisted you in examining the corpse at that time, but who can prove this? Maybe it was made up by you, Lord Mu. Chu Xian began to show his minions and forced Mu Si Cheng to ask.

The latter's face was solemn, and he shook his head again and again: "Impossible, although I haven't checked them all, but I have seen them all briefly, I can still distinguish between the dead and the living." ”

"It's useless to say more, since Lord Mu you haven't checked this matter with the hell, then the official will verify it, if one of the sixteen people in the book of life and death is not dead, it means that Lord Mu you have neglected your duties, this is all light, maybe, you are the helper of the murderer, and you are the accomplice. Chu Xian's words directly provoked Mu Sicheng to be furious: "Nonsense, Chu Xian, as the magistrate of the Criminal Division, how can you frame me like this." ”
