"Wasn't it you who killed them? Yet your reasons for murder are quite sufficient, and you certainly have the ability to torment them until they become a gruesome sight in the city."
"We do hate those men, and we have the capability to kill them. However, we don't need to get our hands dirty ourselves."
What does that mean? Sang Qingxiao was puzzled.
The woman wore a smug expression and continued, "This all started from an oversight on our part.
At the beginning of the imprisonment, we lacked experience. In a moment of carelessness, a man managed to escape. We thought he would likely return to the city, so I took Xiao Ye with me to chase after him. We pursued him all night but never caught sight of him.
In the following days, while Xiao Ye continued to guard the city gate, we waited in the building for our outcome. But what we ultimately received was the man's corpse!
He had been killed by someone else, and it was a brutal death.
We felt both relieved and confused. Who had done this? Was it merely coincidence that he was killed, or did someone intentionally do us a favor?
With the crisis averted, we still felt uneasy, so we halted our capturing efforts for several months. Then, a second corpse appeared, which Xiao Ye stumbled upon.
Xiao Ye remembered the scent of the corpse's disposer and tracked them down. The person seemed to be similar to Xiao Ye but much more skilled, so halfway through the chase, Xiao Ye lost their trail.
Later on, Xiao Ye lingered around the house multiple times and detected that same scent again. After informing us of this discovery, we conceived a bold idea.
Among the men in that house, there were some particularly wicked individuals whom we wished we could torture to death immediately. However, none of us had ever killed anyone and subconsciously didn't want Xiao Ye to bear the burden of murder for us.
Now that there was an actual murderer outside the house, we decided to try binding one of those men we wanted dead and tossing him into the area where that creature often appeared.
Sure enough, not long after, the man was dragged away by that creature. A few days later, his corpse showed up within the city.
Is this really how it happened?!
Sang Qingxiao didn't know what to say anymore.
Using murder as a means to scheme against others while keeping our hands clean.
Both capturing and killing were executed with elements of deception—this was truly a Men's Wedding Dress Case.
This case has taken on a more fantastical hue, significantly increasing the difficulty of the investigation.
The woman laughed heartily, her giggles echoing in the air. Once she felt satisfied with her amusement, she turned to the young girl and asked, "So, what do you think? Do we count as having committed murder?"
Sang Qingxiao rolled her eyes in disbelief. In this era, there were no recording devices; whatever the woman said now would be a different story in court. Besides, they hadn't actually laid a hand on anyone, so murder charges couldn't possibly fall on them—unless the Yamen decided to act outside the law.
"Young lady," she continued, "we've been honest with you for quite some time now. You must tell us who you really are. Are you sent by the government to capture us?"
