"Sir, sir, I'm unjust. What crime do you want me to admit?" Boss Xu knelt down in the hall, trembling all over, and looked at Su Mufeng excitedly: "I, I'm unjust!"
"Young man, I don't even know what my crime is." The cat slave next to Boss Xu lay on the ground, pressing his head firmly to the ground, and whispered.
"Think about it, it's impossible for you to plead guilty." Su Mufeng smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the two of them and said, "But the majestic cat god doesn't even dare to admit his identity. Isn't it ridiculous? .”
"Cat, cat god? Sir, you said the little one is the cat god? Haha..." When Boss Xu heard this, he was not surprised but laughed, and said to the people who were watching: "Listen, everyone, Master Su actually said I am the cat god! Hahahaha."
Hearing this, the onlookers also started talking.
After all, Su Mufeng and the others are not familiar with him, but Boss Xu and the others are very familiar with him. No matter how you look at it, Boss Xu cannot be the cat god.
"I'm talking about you, sir." Boss Xu turned his head and looked at Su Mufeng: "I also heard that you made a bet with another adult, saying that you would catch the Cat God within three days, but you can't just be so careless. Arrest people."
Then Boss Xu pointed to the trembling cat slave lying on the ground and said with a smile: "Okay, even if I am the cat god, what about him? Is he also the cat god? But don't say it, he does look like a cat. A dead cat!”
"Hahahaha..." After hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but laugh.
"As expected of Boss Xu, I'm afraid you have already thought of this rhetoric, right?" Su Mufeng said lightly: "But it's okay, let's see whether you are cat gods or not."
"In this case, a total of five people have died so far, namely the watchman Ma Changhai on January 15th, the blacksmith Du San on February 2nd, the carpenter Sun Peng on March 22nd, and the carpenter Sun Peng on March 23rd. Gu Cheng, the post officer on the day, and Mrs. Du San on the night of March 23rd." Su Mufeng looked at the Beizhen County Magistrate and said softly: "County Magistrate Sun, did I miss anything?"
"No." Magistrate Sun nodded.
Although he did not launch an investigation into the murder of the cat demon, he still had a certain understanding of the case.
"So when did everyone start to think that this case was caused by the cat god?" Su Mufeng asked: "Where did this news come from?"
"This." County Magistrate Sun hesitated and said, "Mr. Su, in fact, we also investigated this case at the beginning, and the local police also carefully examined Ma Changhai's body, but we didn't find anything man-made. trace."
"Even after Du San died, the local policemen were attacked after examining Du San's body. Fortunately, he was discovered by a passing government officer at that time, and he escaped death."
"However, after this incident, Wu Zuo resigned and returned home, refusing to work in this town anymore. At the same time, rumors of the Cat God also spread."
"As for who the cat god came from? It seems that this theory suddenly appeared, and there is no reason."
"So, the theory of the Cat God was only spread after Du San's death?" Su Mufeng nodded and looked at the residents of Beizhen outside the court: "Do you remember who first said this theory?"
Suddenly the discussion outside the court became more intense, but no one could remember this matter.
"That," at this moment, Zhu Xian suddenly scratched his head and said, "If I remember correctly, it seems that Mrs. Du San said it."
"Oh, yes, that's her!" After hearing Zhu Xian's words, several people suddenly responded.
One of them is Cui, the wife of Carpenter Sun.
Cui said while recalling: "She was my sister-in-law. After Du San died, I remember she came to my house and told me that we should dispose of the hanging cat corpses so as not to arouse the wrath of the cat god."
"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "Actually, the so-called cat god is not the same person. Mrs. Du San, Cat Slave, Shopkeeper Xu and Gu Cheng are all cat gods!"
"Ah!" After hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.
"Sir, are you kidding me? Lady Du Sanni and Gu Cheng are both dead. If they were cat gods, how could they be dead?" shouted a member of the crowd.
"That's a good question. In fact, I was puzzled at first. It wasn't until last night that I suddenly figured it out. Who said the Cat God can't die?" Su Mufeng said calmly.
"Of course, the case is divided into principal criminals and accomplices, and the Cat God also has this distinction." Su Mufeng said solemnly: "Why the murderer killed Ma Changhai, Du San and Sun Peng, I don't know, but I think there must be a reason. But it was clear that the murderer killed the three of them half a month or even more than a month apart. Why did he kill Gu Cheng and Du Sanniang after killing Sun Peng? This makes me puzzled. "
"There must be a reason why the murderer's killing frequency has changed. But when I think about it carefully, apart from the murderer suddenly being stimulated and becoming more crazy, the most likely reason is because of us."
"But we didn't think about getting involved in this case at the beginning, and Gu Cheng only mentioned the Cat God to us. If that's the case, why did Gu Cheng die early the next morning?"
"And everyone in Beizhen knows that once the Hai hour has passed, they are not allowed to walk around outside. And judging from the traces left by Gu Cheng that day, he clearly rushed back from outside. This rule was obviously told by Gu Cheng Ours, why did he commit this taboo himself?"
"And Mrs. Du San, she is obviously a woman, when is it not good to talk to a cat slave, but she goes to find him in the middle of the night? You know that Du San was just killed by the cat god, isn't she afraid that the cat god will target her? What?"
"After much thought, there is only one possibility. Whether it is Gu Cheng or Mrs. Du Sanni, they never thought that they would be killed!"
"But why are they so confident? The only answer I can think of is that they know who the murderer is, and they firmly believe that the murderer will not attack them!"
"If you know who the murderer is, but you don't expose the murderer's identity, then he is naturally the murderer's accomplice." Su Mufeng said calmly: "In this case, there is a problem in saying that Mrs. Du Sanni and Gu Cheng are both cat gods. ?”
"This..." After hearing these words, County Magistrate Sun looked at Eunuch Chu, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Su Sizhong, your statement is too far-fetched." Eunuch Chu said solemnly: "If the case is solved according to your idea, there will be no unsolved cases in the world!"
"Haha, naturally we can't convict them based on this. This is just a way of thinking." Su Mufeng said with a smile...
