Qiu Wuhen was not in a hurry and continued: "Let me tell you another secret. The so-called hanged old woman selling red clothes is actually a wizard, right? You two have colluded. I have sent people to arrest her.

Go, she will be brought soon. I see what else you can deny? If so, and you are still denying it, I will have no choice but to torture you. I don’t believe that you, a person with delicate skin and tender flesh, can survive this.

.”

"There is a saying called leniency for confessing, don't you know? Do you think the old woman will confess truthfully and strive for leniency? I guess she will. Although she is older, in fact many older people are more greedy and fearful

Damn it, I think this is what this witch is like, if you wait until she says everything, it will be useless for you to say anything else."

"Don't expect to keep a whole body. You are dead anyway. Because the person you used to pretend to be you should be the woman you killed. Can I find out who she is? Let's add more from this point.

You just attempted to murder me, an official of the imperial court, and it is an inevitable condition for execution in Lingchi. Try to keep a whole body, I am afraid that you will really suffer the pain of those three thousand swords."

Chef Gao even started to tremble, and finally she seemed to be discouraged. She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll explain. I hope you can keep my whole body."

"Then it depends on whether what you said is true? If I find out that what you said is untrue and inconsistent with the evidence I have, then I will not do this favor for you."

"Since I'm willing to confess, what else do I have to hide? Yes, your guess is right. I killed that woman on the afternoon when I decided to take action. I had already made a plan.

Several alternative women. One of them was the last day. I saw her coming out to fetch water. Seeing that there was no one near the stream, I tricked her into coming to my room, and then I used incense to seduce her.

Then he skinned her, covered her skin with stones, and sank her into the water."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "You are right about this. When I examined the corpse, I found a mysterious anesthetic in the corpse. It can make people's hands and feet sore, unable to move, and unable to call for help. Therefore,

When you were skinning her, she was actually alive. She suffered severe pain and great fear, which caused the blood vessels in her skull to burst and died. In other words, she was scared to death and painful to death.

"

"On that afternoon, I deliberately invited her to come to my house. After I killed the woman, I put her on the bed, peeled off her skin, arranged it, and closed the door. At the same time, the wizard

Pretending to be the old lady selling red clothes, she deliberately knocked on Chuncan's door. In fact, Linghu Ding, Fei Wutong, and Fei Wudan's houses were scented by a witch, and they all fell asleep. We can take it easy.

of implementing everything.”

"She pretended to be an old woman and knocked on the door. After scaring them, she pretended to be Mr. Linghu Ding's voice and knocked on the door. She has very good ventriloquism and can imitate the speech of various people, but she rarely appears to outsiders, so

You just don’t know. She imitated Linghu Ding’s speech, making you believe that after Linghu Ding opened the door outside, of course it was me who opened the door, so that the two of us could act together."

"She deliberately gave me the red skirt, and then I grabbed the red skirt, and she took the skirt away again, and then told me that she sold the skirt to me. This way, when you find the skinned body later,

You will think that it is a ghost. After seeing the skinned body, you will think that it is the red dress and attribute it to this ghost story. You will believe that all this is caused by ghosts, so you will not

If we continue to track us down, we will be able to get away with it.”

Qiu Wuhen continued: "That Crescent Moon is probably you pretending to be, right?"

"How do you know it was me?"

"It's very simple, because Fei Wutong said, at that time you climbed up the tree quickly like a civet cat, your hands were caught in the bark, and your feet were directly holding on to the bark like a cat. At this time I

I know that your martial arts skills are very high, so I took precautions, and when you grabbed your hand on the bark of the tree, you also left the epidermal cells on your palm on the tree. Once I get these things, even though they are small, they are

Can you let me know who it is?"

"I found these skin flakes you left behind, and at the same time I found a few hairs on Linghu Zhi's bed and the pillow you were sleeping on. They were left by you when the three of you were fighting. Because I can

If the comparison is not theirs, it will naturally be yours. Then use it to compare it with the epidermal cells left on the treetops to confirm that it is you. I had already taken precautions against you at that time, but I couldn't do anything with these alone.

To convince others that you are the murderer, I have to wait for you to commit another crime, so I set this trap."

Chef Gao said, "You actually knew it was me from the skin flakes I left behind?"

"Of course, otherwise how can I be sure that you will come to attack me? And I asked shopkeeper Qian, who is a master of martial arts, to deal with you on my behalf. I don't know martial arts and can't deal with you."

Qiu Wuhen continued: "By the way, the child under the tree behind the brothel must be your fault, right?"

"how do you know?"

"This can be understood by simple analogy. Since you want to set up a ghost game, of course you need more chips and drama. This is to find a child to pretend to be a ghost. For you or the witch, it is not simple.

matter."

"She did it. The kid is from a neighboring village. She told her to let the kid scare you, then give him a hundred coins and threaten him not to tell anyone, otherwise he will really become a lonely soul.

Damn it, everyone here listened to her. Of course the kid did as she asked."

Qiu Wuhen said: "If you kill that village girl, won't anyone arouse suspicion?"

"That village girl's mother is dead, and her father and brothers have gone hunting in the mountains and will not come back in the short term. She is the only one in the family, so no one will suspect her if she disappears, and no one will care. Because she

She is a married daughter-in-law. Others will think that she has returned to her parents' family. The two families are in a nearby village. All she needs to do is hide her bucket."

"You really have thought of everything. How did the old inspector, the official, and the cook die thirty years ago? I know you don't know, because you might not have been born yet at that time.

! But you should have heard that I guess it was done by a wizard, and for the same reason. She has always done this, but she has never achieved her goal."

"Then tell me now what is her purpose? Does she not like the Inspection Department, so she wants to scare us away by pretending to be mysterious?"

Unexpectedly, this was a natural answer, but Chef Gao shook her head and said, "That's not the case. She wanted to scare away all her people, but she couldn't bear to harm her people. She could only pass freely through intimidation.

So she let the inspection department haunt her to make the tribe believe her judgment and everyone would move out and stop living here. But as far as I know, she didn't seem to achieve her goal. Of course, these are all my guesses. She didn't tell me what her goal was.

?”

"What about you? Why do you do these things with her?"

"The witch asked me to listen to her, and she would give me a large amount of money after the deal was completed. And if I didn't agree, she would attack me. I'm afraid, because the witch can communicate with spirits and she has many methods that you can't do anything about.

Unthinkable.”

Qiu Wuhen said: "She just takes advantage of your fear of wizards to control you mentally and seduce you materially. In fact, all she knows are magic tricks."

At this moment, Capt. Ke walked in quickly and said to Qiu Wuhen: "We have captured the wizard and invited Master Balu."

After Balu came in, when he saw Chef Gao, he screamed in fright and almost turned around and ran out. But when he saw a room full of people, he felt something strange. He immediately asked Qiu Wuhen what was going on?

Qiu Wuhen pointed at Chef Gao and said, "Let her tell you, it will be more true."

Chef Gao then told what happened again, and of course she blamed the witch for all the planning.

When Balu heard this, he became furious and said, "Where is the old witch? I want to interrogate her myself."

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said: "I should handle this kind of matter, but you can listen, but in principle don't talk. After she finishes speaking, I think you can ask questions. If you ask again, do you think it's okay?"

Balu and Qiu Wuhen came to the next room, where the newly captured wizard was imprisoned. The wizard was sitting nervously on a stool, with two detectives standing behind her. Seeing the livid Qiu Wuhen, Ba

When Lu walked in, the wizard's face suddenly turned even paler. Because she had never seen Balu appear in front of her with such a face, his eyes staring at her with anger.

She said nervously: "What's going on? Why are you arresting me? It seems that the Han inspection department has never been so unreasonable."

"It's all your fault."

Balu cursed angrily, and when he saw Qiu Wuhen waving his hand to him, he suppressed his anger, sat down, and said: "Answer any questions from Mr. Qiu honestly. If you dare to lie, I will destroy you."

about you."

The status of the wizard depends entirely on the chieftain's words. The chieftain can lift her up to the sky or trample her under his feet. Now Balu's words have already trampled her under his feet, so the wizard suddenly turned pale and his body

They all started to tremble.

Qiu Wuhen said coldly: "Your accomplice, Chef Gao, has been arrested and confessed everything about you. She tried to assassinate me and was caught. She told everything. Now let's look at you.

Are you confessing truthfully? If you confess, there will be some benefits. If you don't confess, you will die in an ugly way."

"I don't know what you mean, sir?" The old woman still looked suspicious.

Qiu Wuhen said: "Do you still want to make excuses? Your accomplices have already confessed."

"Sir, don't you know that some people will deliberately extort confessions? The purpose is to shirk their own responsibility. This cook Gao just wants to extort confessions and put the responsibility on me. I don't know anything about what she did.
