After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 691: Like the Shadow of a Pregnant Woman
After Mu Wanxi left the charity cemetery and returned to the princess's residence, he asked someone to send out a notice.

A large reward is offered for clues about the recent serial murders. If anyone can provide useful clues, the reward will be 1,000 taels.

Then she ordered the garrison in the city to strengthen night patrols.

For a time, people in the imperial capital were in panic because of this incident.

The murderer is so cruel, and his target is not specific. He just kills based on his own preferences. It's really scary.

However, no bodies were found in the next two days.

Mu Wanxi also received clues from various people who came for the bounty, but they all turned out to be false clues.

That day, in the backyard, Mu Wanxi was sitting on a swing watching three kids practicing martial arts. Liao Jiu hurried over to Mu Wanxi's side, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Princess, a night watchman said he wants to provide a clue and doesn't want a reward. I think it's credible."

Mu Wanxi knew that if it was not trustworthy, Liao Jiu would not bother her.

Standing up, Mu Wanxi said to Liao Jiu, "Is he in the front hall?"

"Yes." Liao Jiu nodded.

lobby.

A ragged old man sat stiffly on a chair, looking at the gorgeous furnishings around him. He was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Mu Wanxi walked slowly to the front hall. When the old man saw Mu Wanxi, he quickly stood up from his chair and knelt down before Mu Wanxi: "Long live Your Highness the Princess!"

"No need to be polite, old man, please sit down." Mu Wanxi said softly.

Although Mu Wanxi's attitude was gentle, the old man was still very reserved. It was his first time dealing with such an important person. "Old man, my princess is very gentle and doesn't eat people." Tang Yuan, who was following Mu Wanxi, said with a smile, "The princess asked you to sit down, so just sit down. Xiaoxiao, serve this old man some tea."

Shen Chun, who was following Tang Yuan, nodded obediently and went to make tea.

After the tea came, the old man drank a sip of tea. His dry throat felt much better and his mood also stabilized.

At this time, Mu Wanxi asked, "Old man, you said you have clues to provide, and you don't want a reward?"

There have been many people who have come to defraud bounties recently, but this old man is the only one who provides clues but doesn't ask for a reward.

The old man nodded, looked at Mu Wanxi with cloudy eyes, and said: "To be honest with you, Princess, I am a lonely man, and it is useless to have so much money. I just want peace of mind now."

Mu Wanxi nodded and said with a smile: "Then go ahead, old man. I am all ears."

The old man gathered his emotions for a while before he spoke tremblingly, "I am a night watchman. I was the one who found the fifth body. In fact, when I found that body, I also saw something else."

He originally thought that what he saw was an illusion, but if it was an illusion, why did he always think of that shadow intentionally or unintentionally?

Later, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the shadow was not an illusion, so he came to provide clues.

Thinking of that terrifying shadow, the old man felt uncontrollable fear.

"Old man, don't be nervous." Mu Wanxi saw the old man's fear and nervousness, and said slowly, "Speak slowly, don't be afraid."

"I saw a shadow," the old man said, swallowing his saliva, his slightly widened eyes filled with fear. "It looked like the shadow of a pregnant woman, but it didn't look like a person, because the limbs were very, very thin, and the belly was very big."
