It wasn't until the two detectives spoke again that the woman looked away from Xiao Zhao, straightened her expression, and looked at Shen Lang seriously.
Then she seemed to have discovered Shen Lang's beach shorts, short T-shirt, and plastic slippers. The woman suddenly arched her eyebrows, puffed her cheeks, and almost laughed. However, she still suppressed her smile and acted majestically again. With a full expression, he said in a cold and serious tone:
"Who are you? What's your last name? Why do you come to Wangjiazhuang?"
Shen Lang coughed lightly:
"My lord, my name is Shen Lang. I'm really just a passerby who passed by here by accident. I have nothing to do with the Wang family. Before I was arrested, I had never even heard of the Wang family."
The woman was noncommittal and said calmly:
"Bring two servants of the Wang family here."
Soon, two servants of the Wang family were brought into the lobby.
The woman pointed her fair and slender finger at Shen Lang and asked the two servants:
"Do you recognize this person?"
The two servants of the Wang family raised their heads tremblingly, looked at Shen Lang carefully for a while, shook their heads and said tremblingly:
"Come back, sir, I'm unfamiliar with this kid. I don't even know him."
The woman nodded slightly and motioned to take the two Wang family servants away and bring two more along the way.
Repeatedly, five batches of servants were brought in, including male servants, maidservants, thugs, and village managers. None of them recognized Shen Lang. The woman nodded, stared at Shen Lang with her bright eyes, and said slowly. :
"Everyone in the Wang family has been killed by me. No one dares to lie in front of me. Since they don't recognize you, it seems that you are really not a member of the Wang family."
Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, put Xiao Zhao on his shoulders, clasped his fists and bowed his hands like the two policemen before when they saluted the woman, and said with sincere gratitude:
"Thank you, sir, for clearing my name."
After a pause, he asked tentatively:
"Then can I leave now?"
The woman stared at Shen Lang with bright eyes:
"Let's go? You haven't explained yet why you have to walk at night in this uninhabited mountain, and why you are dressed in such strange clothes."
While speaking, her eyes again involuntarily drifted to Xiao Zhao on Shen Lang's shoulder, and she stared at Xiao Zhao again and again.
Xiao Zhao was also well-behaved. He met her gaze with his big, watery eyes, his little ears twitched twice, he tilted his head cutely, and purred sweetly.
This act of obedience immediately caused the woman to arch her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes to shine, and her eyebrows to be filled with smiles.
As for Shen Lang, there is really no explanation for the problem of "strange clothes" - just like the policeman said before, a self-proclaimed refugee can wear whatever he picks up, and his skin color and body shape do not allow it!
If I had known earlier, it would have been better to say that I was a scholar in trouble, whose robes were stripped off by robbers, and he randomly picked up clothes of unknown origin to cover his body.
Having said that, why don't you ask me about my hair? My short head is very special! Am I not the only one in this world with such a hairstyle?
Really unable to think of an excuse, Shen Lang had no choice but to say:
"Sir, you may not believe it, but actually I have forgotten why I am dressed like this."
The woman frowned:
"forget?"
"Yes." Shen Lang nodded, frowned, and recalled:
"Today at noon, I woke up and found myself in a valley. I was wearing this inexplicable and strange clothes, and there was only this little white cat next to me. As for why I appeared in that valley, What happened before? I can't remember anything.
"Not only that, I don't even know where my home is or if I have any family. I have forgotten everything about myself. I don't know where this place is, and I don't remember this year. What year and month...I only remember my name, and I can still read. Maybe I was really a scholar before?"
After hearing his words, a strange look flashed in the woman's eyes:
"You know how to read but forget everything else? You don't even remember where your home is and whether you have any family members?"
Shen Lang looked grave and nodded slowly:
"Indeed."
The woman said nothing, looked at Shen Lang carefully for a while, and nodded slowly:
"Looking at you, you really look like a pampered scholar... You said you appeared in the valley for no apparent reason, but do you remember where the valley is?"
Shen Lang nodded:
"Of course, the valley is not far from here, and is only separated by a hill. After I woke up, I fished in the valley to satisfy my hunger. There are still traces of me lighting a fire to grill fish. If you don't believe it, sir, Send someone over to check."
"You don't need to remind me, I will send someone to check."
The woman said calmly, as if thinking:
"The Wang family has a reputation of raising people alive, but they have indeed kidnapped many outsiders... Could it be that you were also a victim of kidnapping by the Wang family? You escaped by chance, but suffered a head injury or fell under the Wang family's evil spells. Suffering from aphansia?
"The reason why you are looking for this place is because you escaped from this place and have some impressions of it, but you don't know that this place is dangerous, so you ignorantly searched for it the same way?"
Yes, yes, that’s it, that’s it!
Shen Lang was overjoyed and said in his heart that you are wise, this must be what happened!
However, the woman suddenly changed her tune:
"That's not right. Look at your standing posture. It's loose and full of flaws. It's obvious that you have never practiced martial arts. Although the Wang family is vulnerable to me, there are still two fifth-level warriors who know a few tricks of Gu. Ordinary If a person is really kidnapped by the Wang family, how can he escape from the Wang family?"
What can Shen Lang say?
He could only forcefully squeeze out his potential, give full play to his lifelong acting skills, and murmur with a blank look on his face:
"I, I can't remember...I can't remember anything..."
The woman curled her lips and said:
"Since you can't remember, you can stay here for now. I am Mu Qingxue, the third-rank head catcher of the Criminal Department's Divine Catcher Hall, and I will find out your identity. If you are really a victim of the Wang family, I will give you justice. But if you are a wanted criminal who has fled deep into the mountains, or even wants to defect to the Wang family...don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shen Lang said helplessly:
"Sir, when I take a picture of myself by the river, I feel that I am not very old. I look about seventeen or eighteen years old. I look decent. Do you think I look like a wanted criminal?"
Mu Qingxue curled her lips:
"I have seen many young men who are good-looking but have a wolfish heart. More than one or two of them died under my hands. The youngest one was only fifteen years old. He was as pretty as a girl. He is shy and blushes at every turn... No one can believe that he is an evil person, but he has already killed more than a dozen people in his hands. As the saying goes, you should never judge a person by his appearance. We in the Shencat Hall never judge people by their appearance."
Shen Lang was speechless for a while, then he bowed his hands and said:
"That's what Mr. Mu said. Thank you Mr. Mu for taking care of me."
Mu Qingxue waved her hand gently:
"Go down. Zhu Hu, take him down and find him a room to rest for the night. By the way, find him some decent clothes."
When the young catcher who had caught Shen Lang came over, the young catcher who was also a cat lover clasped his fists and gave the order to take Shen Lang down.
But before she could walk out of the lobby, Mu Qingxue suddenly stopped again:
"Wait!"
Shen Lang was startled, stopped and looked back at Mu Qingxue.
Mu Qingxue looked away, as if she was embarrassed to look at him, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone:
"You little kitten..."
"It's called Xiao Zhao."
"Xiao Zhao? What a good name."
Mu Qingxue applauded, her eyes wandered, and she said in a stuttering tone:
"Well, I also have a lot of experience in raising cats...Xiao Zhao is only a little bit old and looks like a little kitten. Then you have forgotten everything, and you probably don't remember the taboos of feeding kittens...
...So, why don't you let me feed it for a few days first, and then return it to you when it grows a little longer?"
Seeing Shen Lang's hesitation, Mu Qingxue said quickly:
"I'm not trying to take away your love. I'm really worried that you can't raise it well and hurt it."
I knew that your majesty, Mr. Mu, was all fake! The way you almost laughed out loud when you saw my "fancy clothes" had already exposed you!
I really don’t know how you became a third-grade head catcher at such a young age. You’re not a second-generation guy, right?
Shen Lang complained in his heart, but only hesitated slightly on his face. He communicated with Xiao Zhao's thoughts, and after obtaining its consent, he took Xiao Zhao off his shoulders and walked towards Mu Qingxue with him in his arms:
"Thanks to Master Mu for your kindness, I would like to thank you for your care on behalf of my Xiao Zhao..."
Mu Qingxue stood up, stretched out her hands almost impatiently, and took Xiao Zhao over.
Looking at her excited and loving look, if there were no outsiders present, she would probably rub Xiao Zhao on the face and kiss him again and again.
Xiao Zhao meowed twice, nuzzled Mu Qingxue's hand with her pink nose, and then turned around and gave Shen Lang a look.
Although he couldn't speak, Shen Lang could already understand its eyes:
Don't worry, Master, I will take care of this woman and make her love cats and people!
