Chapter 49: Interrogation
If the deceased were only the six sons-in-law of the Chen family, Wei Yuanzhao, and the people from the Sujing Division, Jiang Zhou might have thought that it was an extreme admirer or pursuer of Miss Chen.
But the appearance of a woman in the painting made Jiang Zhou a little confused.
Are Wu Shusheng’s concubine and the woman in the painting the same person?
It is not impossible that Wu Shusheng's concubine used the corpse of the woman in the painting to revive herself, or that she disguised herself.
Su Jingsi originally suspected that it was a demon that could change its own appearance.
But if the murderer was an admirer, what reason would he have to kill the maidservant around the person he admired?
Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you kill people on sight?
Otherwise, there would be no need for the murderer to kill people indiscriminately and it would also increase the possibility of exposing himself.
Considering that the murderer has killed so many people and has not revealed any clues during the pursuit by the two departments, it is impossible that he is not in a clear mind.
This is a suspicious point.
Another suspicious point is Miss Chen herself.
Why would a woman with a fortune of millions and a beauty that is rare in the world be in such a hurry to get married?
It was understandable that she married the first one, but after her tragic death in front of the bridal chamber, she married another one shortly afterwards. It can still be said that she was eager to get married.
But he did it again and again, and every one of them died tragically, but he actually attacked six in a row?
No matter what, Miss Chen is the key.
Even though we know that the murderer might be someone around her, it is not easy to find him for the time being, otherwise Su Jingsi would have solved the case long ago.
Then we can only clarify another doubt first.
Why is she in such a hurry to get married?
Jiang Zhou quickly stroked forward and backward.
Then he came to You Xu.
"Captain, can you let your subordinates interrogate Miss Chen?"
You Xu looked at him in surprise.
Subconsciously, I wanted to scold him, but before I could say anything, I remembered that Jiang Zhou was no longer the same as before.
He forced a smile and walked towards Miss Chen with some doubt.
With a cold face and obvious hostility, he said, "Chen Qingyue, to tell you the truth, the evidence now is enough to convict you."
"I advise you to tell the truth. Tell me why you killed your six gentlemen, as well as Master Wei and the others, and how you killed them. Then I will only hold you accountable."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid your Chen family will have a hard time protecting themselves."
Jiang Zhou watched from the side.
It has to be said that this shows that Yu Xu is a very powerful official.
This posture may not just be a bluff.
I'm afraid that's what he really meant.
"Sir, I really don't know why you say that."
Miss Chen is a beautiful girl. She just lowered her head slightly. Although her expression remains calm, she still makes people feel pitiful.
"snort."
Seeing this, You Xu snorted coldly.
He didn't expect to scare anyone into anything, so he turned around and waved to Jiang Zhou, then pulled Xing Changgong aside.
"What do you want to do!"
Jiang Zhou had just walked over and hadn't gotten close to Miss Chen when a girl with a round face who looked like a maid stood in front of Miss Chen.
With arms open and eyes wide open, she looks like a hen protecting her chicks.
The aggressive look left Jiang Zhou speechless for a moment.
"Xiaoyuan, don't be rude." Miss Chen's voice was no less beautiful than her appearance, soft, gentle and melodious.
The maid named Xiao Yuan still stared at Jiang Zhou as if guarding against a thief, and said angrily: "Miss, these people are not good people, they must have bad intentions!"
"Xiao Yuan, get out of the way. I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this."
Miss Chen's voice was still gentle, but Xiaoyuan seemed afraid that she would be angry, so she quickly jumped away and returned to her side.
Sometimes he looked at Miss Chen timidly, and sometimes he glared at Jiang Zhou angrily .
Jiang Zhou then walked over and said, "Don't worry, these two gentlemen are both upright people and will never wrongly accuse innocent people. I just want to ask Miss Chen a few words."
Xiao Yuan was skeptical when she heard that, but after looking at her young lady, she had to stand aside, still looking wary as she stared at Jiang Zhou.
Miss Chen smiled softly: "Your Excellency, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."
"Then I am offended."
Jiang Zhou nodded apologetically before saying, "Although not all women in the world are chaste and heroic, a woman marrying six husbands is definitely rare in the world, if not unique."
"Ms. Chen has invited six sons-in-law in a row. This is really puzzling."
"Could it be that Miss Chen has a hidden illness and will not live long?"
His words immediately angered Xiao Yuan, who pointed at him and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! You're a slut! You're going to die!"
Jiang Zhou glanced at the maid, and saw that her eyebrows were raised, her face was flushed, and her eyes were extremely fierce.
If looks could kill, Jiang Zhou felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of arrows.
So protective of the master?
"Madoka, don't be rude."
Miss Chen was not angry. She glanced at the maid with a reproachful look and said softly, "Why does this official say that? I don't have any hidden illness."
"Then I can't figure it out..."
Jiang Zhou looked up and down at Miss Chen, quite unscrupulously.
This caused Xiao Yuan to glare at him again: "Shameless bastard!"
On the side, Xing Changgong, who had been secretly paying attention to this side, poked You Xu and said, "Hey, is this boy interested in the girl?"
His eyes widened and he shook his hands: "This won't do, this won't do! This is the wanted criminal that the governor wants to arrest. If we lose her, we won't have a good life. It will affect our careers!"
“…”
The corner of You Xu's eye twitched, but he looked at Jiang Zhou with some suspicion.
Miss Chen's appearance is indeed rare, and there are few young men full of vigor and vitality who can resist her.
However, Yu Xu still had to maintain the dignity of the Sujing Division on the surface:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you are in charge of the criminal department? Besides, the governor just wants to catch the murderer. Who told you that Miss Chen is the murderer?"
At this time, the two heard Jiang Zhou ask again: "I wonder if Miss Chen has a crush on someone?"
Xing Changgong looked at You Xu with an expression that said "you still say no".
You Xu: “…”
This kid...
If it weren't for your powerful background , I would have put you in prison when I got back!
"Miss! Did you hear that? He's not a good person! He has bad intentions!"
Xiao Yuan glared angrily, as if she was about to pounce on Jiang Zhou and bite him.
Miss Chen just lowered her head slightly and said softly: "I am a miserable person and I dare not hurt anyone again."
Jiang Zhou smiled noncommittally and said, "I have a few words to say to Miss Chen alone. May I move aside?"
The maid Xiao Yuan stood in front of Miss Chen and screamed, "What do you want to do? If you dare to have any evil intentions, I will go to the county government to file a complaint even if I risk my life!"
Jiang Zhou glanced at the maid and felt a little puzzled. Even if she was loyal to her master, wasn't this reaction a bit too big?
Then he said to Miss Chen: "This involves Miss's privacy, please move away."
