County yamen hall.

Since the county magistrate's favorite concubine was rushed to the other yard because of cheating, the family yard has become much deserted.

Gao Yuanchun is now fifty-six years old, and his original wife died of difficult labor.

My son, who was finally protected, also fell into the water when he was six years old and fell into the water when he was out for fun.

In addition, his parents passed away one after another, and other relatives were extremely remote and could not interact with each other for nothing. Gao Yuanchun could be regarded as a real "lonely man".

Chen Mu came to the inner hall and saw the old man with gray hair watering flowers.

It seems very leisurely, but its complexion is worse than yesterday. The furrowed word "Chuan" between the eyebrows makes the wrinkles deeper.

“I slept well last night?”

Gao Yuanchun threw down the kettle, took the towel handed over by Chen Mu and asked softly.

Chen Mu knew the true meaning of the other party and said with a dry smile: "It is worthy of being Doctor Duan's medicine, it is indeed very powerful."

"Young people should be more modest."

Hearing Chen Mu's answer, Gao Yuanchun rarely smiled.

He picked up a file from the table and handed it to Chen Mu, and said lightly: "You can take a look at what you want from the Maling County Government."

Chen Mu took it respectfully and opened it and took a closer look.

It is the case of the fire in Mu Xianger’s house yesterday:

At about two o'clock yesterday, someone found a fire in Mu Xianger's house. The fire had spread halfway through, so the discoverer quickly called other neighbors to help put out the fire.

Unfortunately, the fire was too big, and the house had already burned clean after it was put out.

During the search, the yamen runners found three burned bodies, which were confirmed to be Mu Xianger's parents and brother.

After careful investigation by the yamen runners, some coal ash was found on the scene. It was initially determined that the fire was spontaneously ignited by coal stones on the mountain, causing Mars to float to the haystack next to Mu Xianger's house at the foot of the mountain, causing a fire... It was an unexpected fire!

"This is so nonsense."

Half of the file was seen, Chen Mu frowned.

He hastily browsed the subsequent statement and returned the file.

"What do you think?"

Gao Yuanchun valued Chen Mu far more than the dog-headed master around him, and many cases were discussed with him.

Chen Mu filtered the information in his mind before speaking softly:

"If Mu Xianger was not dead, the case might be initially judged by accidental fire, but now all the family died, and the time of death seems to be only one day apart, which is inevitable that it is a bit strange..."

Gao Yuanchun nodded slowly: "That's true, then have you seen any problem?"

"First of all, from the description in the file, it was discovered that when Mu Xianger's house was on fire, the fire had spread halfway, which means that Mu Xianger's house was in a very remote place. Otherwise, the fire would have caught it during that period, and the neighbors would have discovered it long ago."

"But I remember that as early as a year ago, the court distributed funds for poor households to help local poor people build houses and resettle all remote households together. Only Mu Xianger's family has not moved, which is a bit strange..."

Chen Mu deliberately slowed down his tone when he said this.

Gao Yuanchun smiled faintly and said, "Although Lord Zhao of Maling County is a little greedy, he is also a smart person. He dare not touch such money. You should talk about the case."

Yes, I originally wanted to use this to praise you as a clean official, but I didn't get a flattery.

Chen Mu nodded and continued:

"The file says that when the neighbors came to put out the fire, the house was burned out, and the furniture and items inside were basically burned out.

It can be guessed that Mu Xianger's family is either too far away from her nearest neighbor, and has been delayed a lot of time on the road, or there is a lack of water source around, or the house structure is flammable, or... there are a lot of flammable materials in the house.

Of course, this needs to be checked on site before it can be determined, after all, the facade of the file has not been explained in detail."

Chen Mu didn't dare to say anything to death.

Gao Yuanchun sneered: "Sometimes, only by dealing with cases and doing things in a daze can this official be more beautiful. The file you read can actually be submitted, and you don't need to be too detailed."

Chen Mu was quite moved by the county magistrate's frank explanation.

After all, some words are not something that can be said on the surface.

In this era of backward investigation technology, the following are confused and the following are confused and the above are confused and the people are confused. This is enough.

For example, the "poisonous mushroom" incident in Ju Chunlou a month ago.

“Is there any more?”

"have!"

Chen Mu paused, his tone increased: "The most important point I overlooked in the file is why Mu Xianger's parents and brother did not escape from the house after the fire!

Did you die of sleep? Or was it poisoned? Or maybe all the doors and windows of the house were blocked?

In addition, the conclusion that coal stone spontaneous combustion is too far-fetched…”

Chen Munn planned to use scientific evidence to explain the phenomenon of coal spontaneous combustion, but thought that the other party couldn't understand, so he had to give up.

Alas, it is difficult for three good students who have received nine years of compulsory education to find a soulmate.

Gao Yuanchun said lightly: "In other words, the death of this family is directly related to Mu Xianger's death."

"At least it seems to be."

Chen Mu nodded.

Gao Yuanchun stared at the file on the table and remained silent, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, he walked to the desk and spread a piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines, folded it and handed it to Chen Mu:

"Leave it to Lord Zhao of Maling County, he will cooperate with you."

Chen Mu was stunned: "Sir, this is..."

Gao Yuanchun didn't want to say anything more, waved his hand and said, "If you can check how much you can calculate, if you meet those three people yesterday, just tell them the truth."

"yes."

Chen Mu received the order.

Seeing Chen Mu standing still, Gao Yuanchun said, "I know what you want to ask, you can check it first. If you really encounter a bottleneck, come and ask me."

Can't you tell me directly?

What a mystery to pretend.

Chen Mu slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He carefully put away the letter and then left respectfully.

When I walked outside the yard, I found a beautiful figure leaning beside the door.

It's a young woman.

She has a sweet and charming appearance, and her curvy figure is hard to describe, but the woman's face is haggard and has tears.

It was the concubine of the Grand Master of Green County.

She seemed to be here to find the county magistrate. When she saw Chen Mu, she was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth to try to speak, but her expression was gloomy and her eyes were complicated.

Chen Mu didn't say anything, and passed by him.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and slapped the woman's smooth and delicate face.

Then he left.

The woman stroked her face with her jade hands, looking shocked.

Gao Yuanchun in the inner courtyard saw this scene, shouted, and laughed: "The little brat is quite revenge, he is shaking his heart in front of me."

He thought for a moment, got up and walked out of the courtyard, and waved his hand to attract two yamen runners:

"Find a carriage and send this bitch back to the countryside!"
