The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi guessed that Widow Liu had a conflict with someone, and that man was having an affair with her. When Bai Yu visited Widow Liu's neighbors, the lady next door said that one night about half a month ago, she heard a lot of noise in Widow Liu's house, and it seemed that she was arguing with a man, and they even fought.

Now, Fang Wenbo’s grain delivery record clearly records that on May 26, Fang Wenbo went to Widow Liu’s house to deliver grain.

"Fang Wenbo, on the 26th of last month, you went to deliver food to Widow Liu's house. What time did you go, and what time did you leave?"

"I usually go out to deliver food at 5 p.m. and come back at 12 p.m. After delivering food, I don't go back to the shop, I go straight home."

"Can anyone prove that you returned home that day?" Li Jinghong asked as he closed the record book.

Fang Wenbo wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "I didn't run into anyone that day, and the doorman at home also asked for leave, so I went straight to sleep after I got home."

"You're lying." Li Jinghong raised his voice, "Your doorman never asked for leave. You clearly returned home around midnight that day, and you had a wound on your face when you came home. Was it scratched by Widow Liu?"

Fang Wenbo panicked for a moment, "No, after I delivered the food that day... I went to the restaurant to drink, and didn't go home until midnight. I got that injury when I was drunk and I don't know where I got it."

Li Jinghong said coldly: "Fang Wenbo, think it over before you reply. We will verify everything you said. Don't think that you can escape the punishment of the law just because no one saw you last night. Don't forget that the law will not let anything slip through."

Fang Wenbo still wanted to struggle to his death, but he just refused to admit that he had killed someone. Li Jinghong ordered his men to put him in the cell temporarily.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were just listening in on the interrogation process. Li Jinghong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for so long, did have some real skills. He had clear thinking and was good at finding loopholes in the suspect's confession. Now everyone could see that the murderer was Fang Wenbo, and now they were just short of evidence.

After Fang Wenbo was taken away, Li Jinghong came to Chu Yunxi and bowed, saying, "Miss, you are a genius. I admire you. I would like to ask Miss Yunxi, how did you deduce those conditions to let Fang Wenbo enter the sight of the detectives?"

This time, Li Jinghong was asking for advice sincerely, which was also his strength. He was upright and did not hesitate to ask questions. Even though he had some opinions about Chu Yunxi at the beginning, they had all disappeared at this moment.

Chu Yunxi could see the change in his attitude, and said, "It's actually very simple. I calculated the murderer's height from the fingerprints on the corpse's neck. To be able to strangle an adult woman to death with one hand, this person must be very strong, so his physique must be relatively strong, at least he won't be a particularly skinny type."

"As for my inference that there were scratches on the night of May 26, it was because two witnesses testified that the person who had a conflict with Widow Liu that night also fought. It was not just a verbal argument. It was impossible for only Widow Liu to be injured while the other person was unscathed."

Li Jinghong nodded, "That's right. According to Fang Wenbo's doorman, Fang Wenbo didn't return home until about midnight that night. When he returned, there were still a few bloodstains on his face. He happened to be changing lanterns at the door at the time, so he saw it clearly."

"That's right. Fang Wenbo must have had a conflict with Widow Liu, so he didn't stay at Widow Liu's house that night, but returned home in the middle of the night." Chu Yunxi continued to analyze, "As for the impotence, it was also inferred based on the condition of the corpse."

Seeing that Baiyu and Heimu were a little embarrassed when talking about this topic, Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Your Highness, Baiyu and Heimu need to strengthen their training. In the future, when you serve in the Dali Temple, you may encounter such situations frequently. How can you redress the grievances of the deceased if you are so thin-skinned?"

Xiao Mubei glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Then I'll leave these two to you to train from now on."

This was exactly what Chu Yunxi wanted to hear. She did need an assistant when performing the autopsy, so she agreed immediately, not caring that the two parties had already turned bitter.

"The deceased was stripped naked before his death and had been humiliated, but not violated. Moreover, the previous conflict occurred at night. Li Shaoqing, if two people who have an improper relationship rarely see each other, what would they usually do at midnight?"

When Li Jinghong heard the question Chu Yunxi asked him, he blushed for the first time. However, he just talked about the problem of being thin-skinned, so he couldn't be timid. So he coughed and said seriously, "It's like dry wood and raging fire, and it's like a love affair."

"Li Shaoqing has great literary talent." Chu Yunxi praised with a smile, "You're right, but these two people started fighting when they should have been affectionate. Could it be because of sexual disharmony?"

Chu Yunxi looked around. She didn’t know what Xiao Mubei was thinking, but he remained normal for the time being. Bai Yu and Heimu’s faces turned red, and Li Jinghong also looked a little unnatural.

Chu Yunxi smiled secretly in her heart and continued to analyze: "When I was chatting with Widow Liu's neighbors before, I specifically inquired about Widow Liu's character. It is said that although she is beautiful, she has a very sharp tongue, and can even be said to be mean. I was wondering, what did she say that would make a man want to kill her, and before killing her, he also abused her? After thinking about it, it can only be impotence. Widow Liu was unreasonable and mocked the man, and the man's self-esteem was frustrated. Later, he must have seen a doctor, but this disease is not so easy to cure. After he went back, he became more and more angry, and he was afraid that Widow Liu would tell this matter. So he simply killed her, which not only vented his anger, but also shut her up. It's killing two birds with one stone, why not? As long as the scene is cleaned up, the government may not suspect him."

Chu Yunxi finished speaking in one breath, and Li Jinghong suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire her very much. He said: "I'm afraid Fang Wenbo never thought that he would be caught in less than a day. Miss Yunxi is really amazing."

"In fact, Fang Wenbo's case was full of loopholes, so he was arrested so quickly. Because he had no experience, he did not consider many things carefully. For example, he only considered his alibi last night, but did not think of covering up his whereabouts on the night of the conflict." Chu Yunxi shook her head. In many cases, the murderer thought he had hidden it well, but he did not know that he had left many loopholes.

In their previous lives, they often said that unless they could avoid the sight of the investigators, once they entered, there would be no escape.

The same is true for this case. Now, we just need to find out the route Fang Wenbo took in and out of Fang's house last night, as well as his medical records for treating his impotence. We don't have to worry about him not speaking up.
