After hearing Chen Sheng's words, everyone was stunned. Only Su Mufeng showed an unexpected expression.
"What, Boss Xu loves cats so much? Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, yes, I have never heard that Boss Xu likes cats."
"I haven't heard of it either."
Suddenly people started talking, and everyone felt unbelievable about this statement.
"Boss Xu loves cats very much. The Qingyang tailor shop is simply a paradise for cats. This was an interesting story in Qingyang City back then. If you don't believe it, just ask and you will know the truth." Chen Sheng said calmly, At the same time, he handed a letter to Eunuch Chu and the Beizhen County Magistrate: "This is a certificate issued by the Qingyang City Government Office, which can prove that what I said is true."
"It is indeed the official seal of Qingyang City." The Beizhen County Magistrate took the letter, looked at it carefully, and said to Eunuch Chu.
Beizhen is located near Qingyang City, so it is actually under the jurisdiction of Qingyang City. Therefore, the Beizhen County Magistrate is very familiar with the official seal of Qingyang City: "Wait a minute, what is going on with Miss Chen here?"
"According to my subordinates' inquiries, I learned that Boss Xu's craftsmanship is outstanding, and the materials and styles of his clothes are admirable, so the business is very good even in Qingyang City." Chen Sheng said, "But because of the Qingyang Tailor Shop There are many cats here, and even though Boss Xu has been extra careful, it is still inevitable that there will be some cat hair mixed in the clothes.”
"Miss Chen, a wealthy family member in Qingyang City, heard about Boss Xu's craftsmanship and ordered several custom-made clothes from Boss Xu. However, as luck would have it, Miss Chen was born to be sensitive to cat hair, and he did not expect Boss Xu to make it for her. Their clothes would be mixed with cat hair, and they would become short of breath after wearing them, and even die from it."
"After the Chen family found out the results of their investigation, they were extremely angry. In order to quell the Chen family's anger, Boss Xu sold his property and fled Qingyang City."
"According to the people in Qingyang City, Boss Xu defected to his uncle after leaving Qingyang City and came to Beizhen."
"Uncle? Boss Xu also has an uncle?" Beizhen County Magistrate asked doubtfully.
"Yes, his uncle is the post officer of Beizhen, Gu Cheng!" Chen Sheng said.
"What? Gu Cheng is Boss Xu's uncle?" The Beizhen County Magistrate was completely surprised. He had never heard such a statement before.
"I heard Boss Xu say this. He said that he had an old friend in Qingyang City, but I didn't expect that person to be Mr. Gu!" Someone whispered.
"That's right, I've been thinking about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. If Du San and the others were determined to take death, why was Gu Cheng killed?" Su Mufeng said, "Although Boss Xu gave me a reason, But I always feel that that reason is a bit far-fetched. After all, Gu Cheng would be so afraid of the cat god, it’s hard to imagine that he would torture and kill cats.”
"But if Gu Cheng didn't die because of torturing cats, why did he die?"
Su Mufeng paused and looked around. At this moment, everyone believed Su Mufeng's words. The so-called "cat gods" were indeed Boss Xu and the cat slave.
"You are really smart. You have arranged this case perfectly and left almost no clues." Su Mufeng said lightly: "But as I said before, some things will definitely leave traces as long as they are done."
"Why on earth? Why on earth do you suspect me?" Boss Xu looked at Su Mufeng and gritted his teeth and said, "Because of that dress?"
"Indeed, clothes are one of the main reasons, but it's not just about clothes." Su Mufeng nodded: "It's more because of Gu Cheng."
"Because of him?" Boss Xu was even more confused.
"Uncle Chu, do you remember how Gu Cheng described the cat demon's murder to us?" Su Mufeng said lightly.
"This..." Eunuch Chu recalled carefully and said in a deep voice: "It seems that he saw the cat demon killing people with his own eyes, so he is sure... wait... something is wrong!"
"That's right. I just asked the county magistrate. The county magistrate and everyone in Beizhen can be very sure that the only five people who died in the cat demon case were Ma Changhai, Du San, Sun Peng, Du San, and Gu Cheng. . And the only people who died before that were Ma Changhai two months ago, Du San one and a half months ago, and Sun Peng the day we arrived."
"So, who is the person Gu Cheng said he saw killed by the cat demon half a month ago?" Su Mufeng said solemnly.
"This..." After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Indeed, this statement is too weird.
"Since there is no such person, it means that what Gu Cheng said was made up. But why did Gu Cheng make up such a story to prove the existence of the cat demon?" Su Mufeng said solemnly: "In order to make us believe it. Cat demon? But we are leaving the next day, so what good will this do to him? "
"Or is it to prevent us from investigating? But in that case, wouldn't it be better for him to be vague? Why did he raise the issue of the cat demon?"
"Under this kind of contradiction, no matter what you think, it's wrong. Then is there a third possibility, that is, he said this to others?"
"Boss Xu, if I guess correctly, you will be at the inn that day."
"..." Boss Xu lowered his head when he heard this and did not deny it.
"You and the cat slave are both people who love cats very much, and you hate to see cats bullied. But as I said before, the watchman Ma Changhai, the blacksmith Du San, and the carpenter Sun Peng have all killed cats, so the two of you are Humans are hated, so you use black cats to kill them.”
"The reason why you started killing people on January 15th is because you want to test whether this method is really feasible. Moreover, it is approaching the New Clothes Festival at that time. You know that every household must buy new clothes. At this time, not only It is easier to operate, and it is less likely to arouse suspicion even if the deceased died wearing new clothes.”
"But since both Ma Changhai and Du San died under your experiments, even though you were very secretive, I'm afraid you still left a lot of clues."
"You were worried that these clues would be discovered by Wu Zuo, so you attacked Wu Zuo secretly and planned to kill Wu Zuo as well."
"I never thought that Zuo Zuo was not dead, but fortunately for you, he escaped and did not continue the investigation."
"And with Wu Zuo's escape, rumors about the Cat God have spread, and no one can expose you."
"That's why you attacked Sun Peng again!"
"During this process, you did not hide the truth from two people, one is Mrs. Du Sanni, and the other is Gu Cheng."
"You didn't hide it from Mrs. Du Sanni because you hoped to spread the legend of the cat god through Mrs. Du Sanni's mouth. I guess when you killed Ma Changhai and Sun Peng, the reason you gave Mrs. Du Sanni was to die. Some people, so that people’s attention will not be entirely focused on Du San and her, and she can leave quietly and stay and fly with Mao Yuan."
"As for Gu Cheng, it's because he is Boss Xu's uncle, so he clearly knows who Boss Xu killed, but he can't tell him because of family ties."
"Boss Xu, if I'm not wrong, he told us this that day just to wake you up and to warn you. I guess after we all took a rest, he must have gone to find you and tell you if you If you still refuse to stop, I will expose this matter and destroy your relatives for justice."
"But he never thought that you would kill him because of this!"
