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

"Cao Dong," Chu Yunxi asked, "You said that you and Chen Ruiqi committed those seven cases together?"

"That's right, it was all done by the two of us, sir. We both admitted our mistakes and confessed everything. Are you still not satisfied?" Cao Dong looked a little impatient.

"So, you confessed just to satisfy us?" Chu Yunxi's pretty face turned stern and she said in a stern voice.

Cao Dong turned his head away, obviously unwilling to answer.

Chu Yunxi softened her tone, "Cao Dong, this is a serious crime of murder. You have to think it over carefully. Do you really want to plead guilty?"

"Miss, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning my confession? Is the Dali Temple so incompetent that they don't even dare to believe that the murderer has been caught?" Cao Dong mocked Chu Yunxi in a sarcastic tone.

But Chu Yunxi was not angry at all. The more Cao Dong acted like this, the more she was sure that this was not the real murderer. She had seen too many murderers, so she could naturally tell at a glance that the other party was deliberately trying to provoke them so that they would convict him as soon as possible.

"Okay, since you said you committed the crime, let me ask you, where did you meet those girls? And how did you know where they lived?"

Cao Dong said nonchalantly: "We just met them on the street, followed them, found out where they lived, and then took action at night."

"As far as I know, these girls are from wealthy families, and their homes are heavily guarded. Have you never been discovered?"

"No, those guards are just good-for-nothings."

Chu Yunxi glanced at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu understood. Suddenly, he formed his five fingers into claws and grabbed Cao Dong without warning. His attack was fierce and merciless.

Cao Dong was shocked. He leaned back quickly and stepped back quickly. Before he could pay attention, his left leg tripped over his right leg. He could no longer stand and fell to the ground.

Bai Yu's palm stopped just in front of him. Cao Dong was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly, without any strength to resist.

The expected pain did not come. Cao Dong slowly opened his eyes and saw that Bai Yu had stood up and retreated. Chu Yunxi walked slowly in front of him with a smile on her face. "With your skills, you want to be a flower thief? How can you avoid being discovered by the secret guards? Do you know Qinggong?"

Cao Dong's face was visibly red, and he said stubbornly: "You guys were too sudden, I couldn't react for a while."

"Really? How about I give you another chance to compete with him? Or you can show me your Qinggong that allows you to enter and exit other people's homes as if they were no one, so that I can open my eyes?"

Cao Dong's face turned red and white, and he said, "I'm not full now, so I can't use my Qinggong. Anyway, I killed the man, so you can kill me or chop me up. Don't bother me anymore."

"Cao Dong!" Chu Yunxi suddenly shouted, "You are not the murderer at all, why are you taking the blame for the murderer?"

Cao Dong was still lying on the ground, and was stunned when he heard this. He then said, "Chen Ruiqi and I killed him. There was no other murderer."

Chu Yunxi sneered, "You said you killed the person. How did you do it? Did you rape her first and then kill her, or kill her first and then rape her? How many times did you violate the girl? Did you two violate the girl together or one by one? What kind of drug did you use? Why did you put a bougainvillea on the girl's head after you killed her?"

Cao Dong was a little confused by Chu Yunxi's series of questions. He stammered, "We, we came one by one, and... raped them first and killed them. We strangled them to death, and the drug was just an ordinary drug. As for the bougainvillea, because... it looks beautiful, we didn't want the beauties to die too miserably, so we placed a bougainvillea on their heads."

Chu Yunxi said coldly: "You are lying. You know nothing except that the person was strangled to death. Let me tell you, the drug used by the murderer is the Aconitum incense which is unique to southern Xinjiang. The girls were violated three times, and they should have been violated by three people at the same time. As for the bougainvillea, they were all inserted in the girls' temples, not on their heads. Cao Dong, you are not the murderer at all. Tell me, why did you take the blame for the murderer?"

Cao Dong was stunned and speechless for a long time. After a while, he suddenly burst into tears and said, "Miss, you are right, I am not the murderer, but if I don't come to take the blame, my pregnant wife and my father and mother will die. I... I have no choice, sir." He suddenly crawled to Xiao Mubei who was sitting at the top, "Sir, please, sentence me to death. Only if I die, my wife, children and parents can live."

"Get up and tell me what's going on?" Xiao Mubei asked in a deep voice, motioning Bai Yu to bring him an armchair.

Cao Dong sat down nervously, looking like a completely different person from before. He looked extremely uneasy. He was not afraid of being sentenced to death, but now he was extremely terrified when he was told that he did not kill anyone.

Chu Yunxi poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. He took it and drank it in one gulp. He gradually calmed down and said, "I was originally just an ordinary escort who knew some basic Kung Fu. Chen Ruiqi was the same. We usually go out to escort and are often outside. We don't spend much time in the capital. Three months ago, when we were escorting, we encountered three people molesting a decent girl. We stepped forward to defend them. Those three people were very good at Qinggong, and their boxing and kicking skills were comparable to ours. We fought and saved the girl, but we didn't expect that we would be remembered by those three people. These three villains!"

Cao Dong slapped the armrest of the armchair hard, and he was obviously very angry. "I don't know when they found out where our home is, and they kidnapped our family. My wife and parents, as well as Chen Ruiqi's elderly parents, wife and three-year-old son are all in their hands. They also sent us a message and asked us to meet in a dilapidated temple. They took my wife's hairpin and Chen Ruiqi's son's silver bracelet, saying that as long as we admit that we were the ones who committed the recent serial rape and murder, they would release our family. We had no choice but to help them take the blame."

"This is really too much!" Chu Yunxi was very angry after hearing this, "Are these three people called the Merlin Three Heroes?"

Cao Dong said: "I don't know what they are called either."

"But they are wearing pink, green and white clothes?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"You're stupid," Chu Yunxi couldn't help but complain about Cao Dong, "You made a deal with the devil, and you'll be dead by then. How can you be sure that they will release your family?"

Cao Dong gritted his teeth and said, "We said that if they don't fulfill their promise, we will not let them go even if we become ghosts."

Chu Yunxi held her forehead with her hand. They were not afraid of being alive, so how could they be afraid of ghosts? They were really too naive.
