The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

"There were no other injuries on the body, nor any signs of a struggle, but the two front teeth were most likely knocked out in a struggle before death. The deceased's trouser legs were torn, and there were two bruises on the knees, caused by kneeling for a long time. The leg bone was broken, and there was a large amount of blood clotted at the fracture, indicating that he had been broken before death."

Qin Miaoxi instructed the yamen runners, "The body's face is rotten, and it's impossible to identify the deceased by face. The clothes are torn, probably from the murderer moving the body. Look for any signs of dragging along the way in the cave."

"By the way, ask the villagers outside the village if any strangers entered the cave seven days ago. Also, send out a notice asking if any young men are missing from their homes. You should also send people to the cloth shops in the city to find out which cloth shop the deceased's clothing came from."

"Yes, Qin the Coroner."

Lu Qingchen quickly stopped her and asked, "How can you be sure that the deceased is from outside and not from the village?"

Qin Miaoxi listed the evidence one by one. "First, look at the deceased's clothes. They are made of fine silk. Who in the village could afford to wear silk that costs nearly 100 taels per piece? This shows that the deceased must have been wealthy or noble."

"Also, the soles of the deceased's shoes are clean, which proves that he was carried in by someone. Otherwise, if he had entered the cave on his own, his soles would have been covered in mud like ours."

"Finally, the deceased's wallet was not missing, which shows that the murderer was not after money. As long as we find out the identity of the deceased, we can then investigate his relatives and friends and narrow the scope of the investigation."

Lu Qingchen praised softly, "You are very confident. You are worthy of being the woman that this marquis has set his eyes on."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

Her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot again, and she muttered to herself: Tongzi, how did he know that I like him?

After a long silence, a response came to my mind: Maybe it was the gaze!

Qin Miaoxi gritted her teeth: A look that kills him?

As the saying goes, if you love him, kill him.

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

At this time, Lu Qingchen suddenly asked, "Does the Qian family have a son-in-law? Why hasn't he come to claim the body in such a long time?"

Son-in-law?

Qin Miaoxi looked at the yamen runners with a puzzled look, and they hurriedly explained, "We went to the Qian family and asked their servants. Qian's son-in-law Rongsheng went out on business. He should have returned a few days ago, but he hasn't come home yet."

Lu Qingchen said with a sigh, "I think the murderer is this Rong Sheng. Otherwise, why wouldn't he show up now when his wife and father-in-law were murdered?"

"Don't make any judgments without evidence."

Lu Qingchen sneered with a slight curl of his lips, "You have arrested me without any evidence."

Qin Miaoxi refused to argue with him and said to the yamen runners, "Find Rong Sheng as soon as possible. Move the body back to the yamen first."

Several yamen runners were carrying the body away, when suddenly a yellow light floated down from the body.

Qin Miaoxi's pupils suddenly shrank, "Wait a minute!"

Qin Miaoxi picked up the yellow paper on the ground, opened it, and was stunned.

Lu Qingchen came forward curiously and took a look. It was a piece of talisman paper with a red talisman on it.

"What's so strange about this talisman paper?"

"I know this corpse."

Qin Miaoxi was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy voice, "Because I buried this body with my own hands."

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but look at her with a little more scrutiny. Is this woman the worm in his stomach?

No matter how they guessed, they could not have imagined such an answer, but they were soon interrupted by Lu Qingchen's exclamation.

"What? You buried it?"

He was halfway through his words when he slapped his forehead a few times, "Wait! Is he your relative? Otherwise, why did you bury him?"

In the end, Lu Qingchen was so confused by what he said.

"He had a unique talisman paper from my paper-making shop on him. This talisman paper is used to ward off evil spirits. The owner said that the deceased had committed many sins in his lifetime, so they specially requested this talisman paper to be buried with him."

Qin Miaoxi tightened her grip on the talisman paper, her heart in panic.

Lu Qingchen looked at her in surprise, "You opened a paper-making shop?"

You know, paper-making shops often come into contact with unclean things, and most people think it is unlucky. How could a woman like her do this business?

[Does this woman have any hidden identities?]
