Qi Junce walked out of the underground with Xiaoman, and Jiang Heng immediately rushed to hug Xiaoman and cried bitterly. Fortunately, Xiaoman was fine, he was just frightened.
Baozhu couldn't help but ask: "Master, what is it like underground?"
Qi Junce took a deep breath, his face looking very ugly. "This Huang Xu is really too cruel. Down there, it's as tragic as a Shura field."
Qi Junce didn't want to recall the clearly visible bloodstains and the mutilated female corpse, which was simply horrifying.
She could only speak as softly as possible, but Baozhu couldn't help but look pale.
"So, he bought it for bone replacement in an attempt to piece together a corpse?" Baozhu asked.
Qi Junce nodded, now he just felt that Huang Xu was a complete madman.
"But the crime still needs to be confessed by the murderer himself. Let's go and see if Ling Yi asks anything." Qi Junce put his hands behind his back and walked back with Baozhu and the others.
Return to the government office and call General Ling for a reply. But General Ling looked troubled and hesitant to explain.
Baozhu saw that General Ling, who had never been procrastinating, was so embarrassed. He was afraid that the interrogation was not going well.
Qi Junce suggested that we go and see for ourselves. Jiang Heng had a high fever because Xiaoman was frightened, so he went back for the time being.
When Qi Junce and Baozhu stood in front of Huang Xu and looked at him tied to the pillar, he realized why General Ling looked so embarrassed.
At this moment, Huang Xu was holding his throat and singing a love song in a sharp, masculine voice. The sound echoed in the cell, giving Baozhu goosebumps.
"What's wrong with him?" Bao Zhu asked.
"In reply to Madam," General Ling Xiao said truthfully, "Huang Xu was still normal during the interrogation at first, but suddenly he seemed to have changed and started speaking with a woman's voice."
"What did he say?" Qi Junce asked.
"He said...he is Maple Lady." General Ling spat out these words with difficulty, leaving both Baozhu and Qi Junce stunned.
At this time, Huang Xu, who saw the orb, shouted like a woman: "Little lady, little lady. Come, I have many handkerchiefs and shoes here, all embroidered by myself. Do you want to buy some?" "
Baozhu became more and more confused when she saw Huang Xu looking like a woman inside a man's shell.
"Is he crazy?" Baozhu looked at Huang Xu in disbelief.
Qi Junce looked at the crazy Huang Xu angrily, and cursed him for pretending to be a ghost. General Ling Xiao was asked to bring Huang Xun who was in another prison. Huang Xun couldn't help crying when he saw Huang Xu.
"Isn't this the first time you've seen Huang Xu look like this?" Baozhu observed Huang Xun's expression, and he was not as surprised as the others.
"So, is he crazy or just pretending?" Baozhu asked.
Huang Xun looked distressedly at Huang Xu, who was smiling shyly like a little daughter, and turned around to answer Baozhu's words: "He...maybe he's crazy, maybe he's not."
"How do you say this?" Qi Junce asked.
"It's just because after Mother Feng died, he changed from talking to himself at the beginning to holding his voice." Huang Xun said, but his eyes gradually became frightened.
"But later I discovered that my eldest brother seemed to have turned into two people. Sometimes it was him, and sometimes it was the dead Maple Lady. His current posture is exactly the same as Maple Lady."
Listening to Huang Xun's words, Baozhu was a little at a loss. She had never seen such a terrifying thing before, and her mind was a little confused.
"You mean, because your brother couldn't accept Maple Lady's death, he split a Maple Lady?" Qi Junce asked.
Huang Xun nodded cautiously, and Qi Junce felt as if he was being tricked, but Baozhu held Qi Junce back.
"I have read in folk novels that when some people lose a loved one, they cannot bear the blow and begin to imagine that the deceased person is resurrected in their hearts."
Baozhu said, turning to look at Huang Xu who didn't look like he was acting.
"It seems that this is what Huang Xu is." After Baozhu said this, Qi Junce was thoughtful.
"But madam, nothing can be found out in this case." General Ling said worriedly.
Bao Zhu smiled sweetly, "How could that be? Since he is Maple Lady at the moment, then it would be better if he asked just like Maple Lady."
Qi Junce and General Ling looked at Baozhu in confusion, wondering what she was going to do.
Baozhu was seen sitting calmly on the chair. She now had too many doubts that she wanted to know.
"Mother Feng, can you answer a few questions for me? If you answer, I will buy your handkerchief." Baozhu said naturally.
Huang Xu on the pillar smiled softly and said softly that it was okay.
"Ms. Feng, is your husband nice to you?" Bao Zhu asked.
Huang Xu lowered his head and began to sob softly. "No...he beat me. He beats me when he's drunk."
"Oh?" Baozhu continued to ask, "Why did he hit you."
Huang Xu's eyes flashed with dodge, but he continued: "He resented that I bought it and spent a lot of money on him."
"Really, but Mother Feng, how did I hear that before he bought you, he actually met you in your hometown because of running a boat and fell in love with you, so he asked your brother to marry you?"
Baozhu's words were approaching step by step, breaking down Huang Xu's defense.
"No!" Huang Xu screamed, denying it with all his strength. "These are things that don't exist."
Baozhu chuckled, and Huang Xu started to panic. This was her purpose.
"I also heard that the boatman was very nice to you at first and was reluctant to let you do the heavy work. So why did the relationship between you and your husband break up?"
Baozhu continued to ask.
Huang Xu shook his head in panic, "No, no."
Baozhu stood up and stared sharply at Huang Xu's evasive eyes. "And why do you want to kill him?"
"I didn't!" Huang Xu started to scream hysterically. Qi Junce wanted to pull Baozhu back worriedly, but Baozhu shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
"That's because someone told your husband that you have someone outside, right?" Baozhu spit out the suspicion in his heart. If this can be confirmed, it may be able to reveal Feng Niang's death.
Huang Xu raised his head blankly and looked at the orb.
Bao Zhu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Someone told your husband that you are not familiar with the eldest son of the Huang family, but you didn't. But more and more people told him that a rough man can only beat you. Let off steam.”
Huang Xu's face began to turn pale, and Baozhu continued: "Soon after, he drowned. But you never believed that your husband, who grew up by the water, would drown, so you began to avenge him."
Baozhu looked at the guilty Huang Xun with his eyes and sneered. "But the family that killed your husband-in-law didn't even give you a chance to redress your grievances. They even planned to kidnap you by force."
Baozhu spoke so vividly that it was like being there, and Qi Junce had a different feeling when he looked at Baozhu.
"If you don't obey, maybe it's because you're being pulled, or maybe it's voluntary. You also threw yourself into the river, right?"
At this moment, Huang Xu no longer had the attitude of her previous daughter, but looked at Baozhu with resentment. Baozhu noticed his change and looked at him fearlessly.
"Huang Xu, your self-righteous love brought endless troubles to Feng Niang. She was misunderstood by her husband and her family was ruined. In the end, you tried to take possession of her by force, but she resisted fiercely, so you killed her, didn't you? "
Baozhu's words surprised everyone present, but Huang Xu's face was full of contempt.
"How am I not better than that reckless man? What reason does she have for disobeying me? Isn't it good to be the eldest wife of the Huang family?" Huang Xu finally changed into his original appearance, and the doubts in Bao Zhu's heart were finally confirmed.
Baozhu has always been puzzled. According to the evidence found by General Ling, Feng Niang is not as miserable as rumored. The boatman did not buy her, but asked her brother to marry her.
Just because on the evening when Maple Lady was singing by the river, Huang Xu was not the only one who saw her beauty, but also the boatman who was crossing the water by the river.
The surrounding boatmen also reported that when Feng Niang and the boatman first got married, the two of them were inseparable. How could it be that outsiders said so badly.
The reason for the boatman's sudden change was that Huang Xu bribed a woman from the vegetable market to tell the boatman false rumors about Feng Niang. Over time, resentment broke out, and Feng Niang was innocently implicated.
But Huang Xu didn't expect that Feng Niang was still unwilling to leave the boatman. He pushed the boatman into the water while he was drunk and drowned him alive.
Originally thinking that he could win the beauty back, Huang Xu ran to express his feelings to Feng Niang, but the plot was revealed by Feng Niang who was already alert.
Huang Xu became so angry that he drowned Feng Niang.
Afterwards, Huang Xu could not accept the fact and deceived himself that Maple Lady was not dead. Over time, a Maple Lady split into his own body.
It turns out that this is the case.
Bao Zhu told all his conjectures, and Huang Xu's reaction was consistent with Bao Zhu's.
"You are simply crazy." Qi Junce scolded.
"Yes, I'm just crazy." Huang Xu laughed to himself, "But I don't understand why she just doesn't want to follow me."
"Because," Baozhu's voice rose a bit, "because she doesn't love you, and love can't be forced!"
Qi Junce looked at the excited Baozhu, with unknown emotions surging in his eyes.
"What about those women who died tragically? And why?"
Qi Junce asked.
"If you want to resurrect Maple Lady, you should also use her body. Why would you kill an innocent woman?" General Ling couldn't help but ask.
Huang Xu was silent and Baozhu snorted coldly.
"This is what makes Huang Xu even more despicable," Baozhu said. "He doesn't love Maple Lady, he just loves the woman in his imagination. And that woman is disobedient, so he creates an obedient one for himself. I say Is that right, Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xu suddenly started laughing wildly, and his distorted laughter filled the cell.
"For this reason, you didn't hesitate to kill seven women just to put together the look you like. You are really going to be punished by heaven and earth, it's not an exaggeration!" Baozhu said angrily.
When he came out of the cell, Baozhu couldn't calm down.
Maple Lady was so innocent, she might not even know until her death that her life was ruined by such a person.
Qi Junce held Baozhu's cold fingertips, and Baozhu felt a hint of warmth.
"I didn't know before that Madam had such a strategy." Qi Junce said.
Baozhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, I guessed wrong at first. I thought it would be Huang Xun, but I didn't expect it to be Huang Xu, who didn't show up the whole time."
"How do you explain the embroidered shoes at the scene? Could it be that Huang Xu wore the embroidered shoes to kill someone?" Qi Junce asked.
Baozhu nodded, "I guess, maybe this will make Huang Xu deceive himself again. It's not him who is killing, but Feng Niang."
Baozhu let out a long sigh, lamenting the horror of the human heart.
