You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Huang Hongyu was still racking his brains to persuade Su Chen, but he didn't expect the latter to start laughing.

"Give me the eight characters."

"...Ah, ah?"

"Don't you think he's not the murderer? Are you prepared to pay out of your own pocket for me to help calculate whether there is any evidence to prove it?"

Huang Hongyu nodded blankly.

He quickly laughed dryly and scratched his head: "That's right, it seems that I can't hide anything from you, Taoist Su. I'm a little...brain-spasmodic."

"No, you're fine this way."

"Next time, just tell me directly, don't come up with a bunch of excuses. If it's okay, I'll count it, but if it's not, I'll refuse."

"Oh, good."

Huang Hongyu came back to his senses, quickly took out his work notebook, turned to a page and handed it to Su Chen.

"On the evening of the 2nd of last month, a murder occurred in Guihua Lane on Northwest Street. The victim was a 19-year-old girl who was raped and then murdered, stabbed 13 times in the abdomen. The suspect, Ma Dong, was a former partner of the victim, but they had a disagreement over the bride price. That night, a witness heard an argument in Guihua Lane and went to investigate. At the entrance, he bumped into Ma Dong, who was hurriedly leaving with his hat lowered."

"They found the murder weapon and Ma Dong's fingerprints on the handle."

"And the most crucial thing..."

"The DNA extracted from the deceased's body was identified as Ma Dong's."

"Ma Dong initially admitted to the murder, but later changed his statement."

"His family members agreed with his later statement. He sought out the deceased that night because of the bride price. He wanted to have sex with her and get her pregnant first, so that she would have no choice but to marry him and the bride price could be lowered."

"I've investigated, and the deceased and her family are very traditional girls. Logically speaking, since they had a relationship, she would have been very likely to compromise. Therefore, the possibility of Ma Dong committing murder is very small, and his motive for murder is not sufficient."

"But now the evidence points to him..."

Su Chen motioned for him to sit down.

Start calculating.

After a while, he paused, glanced at Huang Hongyu, and continued calculating.

Huang Hongyu was a little restless.

After Su Chen finished calculating, he sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and looked like he was listening attentively.

Su Chen laughed.

"Your intuition is pretty accurate."

Huang Hongyu's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth rose.

"I knew he wasn't the murderer."

"Then those evidences..."

Su Chen nodded: "It's not fake."

"If the evidence is true..." Huang Hongyu frowned, "If that fruit knife really belonged to Ma Dong, then he was the one who forced the victim to have sex in Guihua Alley."

"So, when someone bumped into you at the alley, you lowered your hat and ran away?"

"But the deceased was stabbed 13 times. If it wasn't a murder in the heat of the moment, then it was a grudge?"

"I've investigated the deceased's interpersonal relationships. They're quite simple. I didn't find any grudges with anyone..."

Su Chen reminded: "The deceased and the murderer may not know each other."

Huang Hongyu frowned.

"do not know?"

"Why would someone kill someone if they didn't know him? And why would they stab him 13 times?"

"Or……"

Seeing that he was thinking, Su Chen took out paper and pen.

After a while, a portrait was handed to Huang Hongyu.

He took it subconsciously, and paused when he saw the portrait.

"Master Su, this person you drew... is the murderer?"

"you know?"

Huang Hongyu nodded heavily.

"She's a witness."

He looked puzzled: "I talked to her, and her expression and conversation were completely normal."

Su Chen asked him: "Have you investigated her mental state?"

Huang Hongyu was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and thought for a while. Perhaps he had found the direction. He didn't bother to talk to Su Chen anymore and rode away in a hurry.

Su Chen smiled and saw that Xiao Liu'er was still sleeping soundly, so he slowly closed his eyes.

An eye suddenly appeared on the beam.

The long eyelashes blinked, circled above, and gradually disappeared.

In the evening, more and more people began to come to the old street.

Almost all of them are people getting off work.

Little Liu'er was woken up and hurriedly stepped on a small stool to get the bamboo tube rice.

Su Chen helped collect some money.

When the cauldron was empty, the little girl's face was no longer sad. She happily held the small tin box and began to count the money.

She spoke subconsciously when she saw someone coming.

"Sorry, we're sold out of bamboo rice."

"Hello, is Taoist Su here?"

Xiao Liuer looked up in confusion.

It was a woman wearing a beige trench coat.

She was carrying a small black leather bag and wearing high heels.

With curly hair and red lips, she looks very fashionable.

Xiao Liuer pointed at Su Chen beside her and said, "Sister, he is Taoist Su."

After saying that, she looked at the woman carefully again.

He quickly entered the teahouse carrying the small iron box, and after a while, he brought two cups of warm water and placed them on the table.

The woman looked at her running back and forth with the wooden stick, and Su Chen looked like he was enjoying himself, and she frowned subconsciously.

She nodded at Su Chen and spoke.

"Master Su, can you help find someone?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a moment, then looked away.

"Feel sorry."

The woman was stunned, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"Can't find it? Or..."

"I have money. How much? Tell me."

Su Chen sighed: "You are already married and have two children."

The woman was stunned, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She pursed her lips and took a long time to utter a word.

"Does marrying a woman mean she's trapped for life?"

"Can't you pursue your own happiness?"

Su Chen's expression was subtle.

Xiao Liu'er, who was lying on the window and eavesdropping, frowned slightly.

The woman began to sob softly.

"Why?!"

"Why do they refuse to grant me a divorce even though I've already married and had children according to their wishes?"

"They don't care whether I'm happy or not, they just care about their own face."

"He was just a little poor, yet you looked down on him and forced him to leave the Magic City..."

Su Chen's eyes were blank.

The woman's crying was very conspicuous in the crowded old street.

Some people just paused, glanced over here, and quickly continued walking hurriedly.

But there were also some people who loved to join in the fun, but were too embarrassed to go forward, so they turned around and went to the opposite side to peek.

Su Chen held his forehead.

"Comrade, your wife is being unreasonable, and you still want to continue to watch?"

Hearing this, the onlookers were stunned and subconsciously looked around.

A tall man in casual clothes with a stern face walked out from behind a pillar reluctantly.

He stepped forward and sighed silently as he looked at the woman crying.

Then, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and asked Su Chen: "Master Su, can you... help her find someone?"

"Don't you know where the person she is looking for is?" Su Chen asked back.

The man paused, and after a long while he managed to utter, "She doesn't believe me."

Su Chen was not surprised: "It's time to cut it off."

People around him pointed and talked, and the man lowered his eyes.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Dong Jiaqi, I promise to divorce you."

The woman had a look of disgust on her face ever since he came over.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up in surprise: "Really?"

The man nodded.

"But I have conditions."

The woman was alert: "You want to push back again? I told you I hate it..."

"After the divorce, the two children belong to me, and you are not allowed to visit them again."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she snorted softly.

"I don't like them anyway. If they belong to you, they belong to you. I'm too lazy to go see them."

The man nodded: "Also, I won't mention remarriage again."

The woman looked at him in surprise, puzzled but also somewhat relieved: "It seems that you are really going to let me go?"

The man asked, "Do you agree?"

"Nonsense, I wish I could."

"Okay, the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open, let's go get a divorce certificate."
