I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 22: Spending the Night at Liu Mansion, The Lady Knocks on the Door!

On the way, Chen Mo learned from Constable Xing about the Liu Family's situation.

The ancestors of the Liu Family were second-class palace guards, a renowned and respected clan, but later their family fortunes declined, and they moved to Tongling County.

The late head of the family, Liu Yuan, was a Seventh-Level Warrior, generous and justice-loving, highly praised by everyone in the city.

The only criticism people had was:

He was excessively infatuated with women.

Not satisfied even after taking seven concubines, he set his sights on his own younger sister-in-law.

As she had just reached the age of marriage, under the semi-coercion and persuasion from Liu Yuan, she could only compromise and agree to become his secondary wife.

That very night of the grand marriage, something went wrong...

"Servants are short-sighted, rat-eyed, unable to recognize the noble, please do not blame us, sir."

Lady Liu approached and bowed gracefully, "I, Miss Liu, have met Mr. General."

Chen Mo looked her up and down.

Her voluptuous figure stretched her clothes taut, her face was natural, free of makeup, her slightly furrowed brow enveloped a faint vulnerability and sorrow.

A wife + widow, the BUFFs are fully stacked.

"Li Yuan, inspect."

Chen Mo said indifferently.

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, then quickly understood.

Though he was somewhat dissatisfied with his imperious attitude, he still endured it, taking out a piece of pure white jade stone from his bosom and approached Lady Liu.

"Do not resist."

The jade stone touched Lady Liu's forehead.

There was no reaction.

This was Tongxuan Jade, which could sense demon energy.

Such close distance without any reaction indicates Lady Liu was not possessed by a demon ghost.

Then, he had the other people in the household come over, one by one, after inspection, all were cleared.

Watching the group of beautiful concubines, Chen Mo shook his head silently, thinking to himself that Mr. Liu was indeed a libertine, feasting on lavish meals, yet craving for more...

However, it was strange that despite having so many wives and concubines, he had not even one child.

Could it be gun without bullets?

"Why haven't I seen your sister?"

Chen Mo looked around and asked.

Lady Liu sighed and said, "Since the incident that day, Ru Yan has been terrified, always hiding in her room and afraid to come out."

"If you want to test her, I'm afraid you might need to go there in person."

On a happy wedding day, lifting the veil only to find her husband's empty head beside her, already a corpse.

Indeed, it could leave quite a psychological shadow.

"Wan'er, lead the way for Mr. General."

Instructed Lady Liu.

"Yes, sir, please follow me."

A maid led them towards the back courtyard.

The moment they left, the previously somewhat noisy courtyard became instantly quiet as a pin drop.

Everyone expressionless, turned their gaze towards the back courtyard.

...

Upon reaching a certain wing room, the maid knocked on the door, but no one responded.

"The second young mistress might be resting..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Mo pushed the door and entered.

The room was dimly lit, no candles or lamps. A slim woman lay sideways on the bed, resembling Lady Liu in appearance, her face pale, looking frail.

It might be due to lack of ventilation; there was a faint smell of decay in the air.

Seeing someone entering, the woman hurriedly got up, looking nervous.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

Li Yuan reassured.

Approaching her, he took out the Tongxuan Jade, and again, there was no response.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Are you sure this thing works? Could it be a fake?"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at him, not bothering to respond, and softly asked:

"Lady, on the night of the incident, did you notice anything unusual?"

Qin Ruyan slowly shook her head, as if recalling that dreadful scene again, her complexion turning even paler.

Constable Xing said in a low voice, "We've interrogated her several times already, there's no issue, and besides, many relatives and friends were there at the time of the incident, so it shouldn't be her..."
