The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

After Shi Xinzhe sent people to the tofu shop to look for the shoes, not long after, his men hurried back with the blood-stained shoes.

"Sir, we found a pair of wrapped blood-stained shoes behind the tofu shop sign."

Shi Xinzhe placed his shoes on the table, looked at Sun Dong sharply, and asked, "Now, what's your explanation?"

Sun Dong's face turned pale and he was completely dumbfounded. "I don't know. I've never seen this pair of shoes before."

"Someone, compare the shoes with his."

"No, don't come over here."

After comparing, the yamen runner reported: "Sir, the size is just right."

"The bloody shoe prints and the bloody shoes are the same size as your feet, and you still refuse to admit it."

"I didn't do it, you can't slander me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who came back from Sun Dong's house also arrived and confirmed that there was indeed a woman's hair entangled on the tree trunk of Sun Dong's house.

Sun Dong's face was as pale as paper, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, his lips were trembling, and he didn't even have the strength to cry out for justice.

The shopkeeper shouted excitedly: "It's him, sir, you saw it! He is the murderer!"

Shi Xinzhe turned to look at Qin Miaoxi. Now the evidence was conclusive and the murderer was undoubtedly Sun Dong. Shouldn't it be time to announce the verdict?

Unexpectedly, Qin Miaoxi shook her head and said calmly, "Don't worry. Isn't there still a witness who hasn't come yet? We should make sure he dies with a clear conscience."

After a cup of tea, the last piece of evidence arrived. The bailiff found the night watchman that night.

Shi Xinzhe: "Were you the night watchman three days ago?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Have you seen the man on the right?"

The night watchman stared at Sun Dong for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never seen him."

"You're lying. I clearly greeted you that day, and you asked me if I was in a bad mood?"

His words were the last straw that broke Sun Dong's back. Sun Dong pointed at him and the shop owner and yelled, "Have you been bribed by him to frame me?"

The night watchman's face flushed red, veins popping out of his forehead, and he jumped up and down like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He defended himself loudly, "Yes, I did see you! But it was already early in the morning, and you asked about evening. How could I have lied? When I asked you a question, you left without a word, looking so distraught. Who knows what evil things you did that night?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes flashed, and she asked the night watchman, "You said you saw him early in the morning?"

"Yes, I definitely didn't remember it wrongly."

"Then where did he come from and where did he go?"

The night watchman thought for a moment and pointed in two directions. Sun Dong came from the east of the city and walked towards the west of the city.

"Yes, I was waiting for Cuihua in the grove east of the city. She didn't come all night, so I went home."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes showed a hint of inquiry. "The tofu shop is also in the east of the city."

Sun Dong's eyes suddenly dimmed and became empty, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he became exhausted.

Shi Xinzhe said coldly: "Take the person away."

Being held hostage by two jailers, Sun Dong staggered towards the prison, where the countdown to his death was waiting for him.

Shi Xinzhe couldn't help but praise Qin Miaoxi. "Coroner Qin is not only good at autopsies, but also at solving cases. This is the commission we talked about. I look forward to working with you again."

Qin Miaoxi's long eyelashes concealed the coldness in her eyes, and she said softly, "Sir, I'm leaving first."

Shi Xinzhe looked at Lu Qingchen in confusion, "What happened to her?"

Lu Qingchen was worried and quickly chased after him, "I'll go take a look."

When he caught up with Qin Miaoxi, he found that she looked cold and said helplessly: "You are really angry, why?"

Qin Miaoxi squinted at him and asked, "Which eye of yours saw that I was angry?"

"I saw it with both eyes. Calm down! Anger is harmful to your health. There's no need to get angry about other people's affairs. It's not worth it."

Lu Qingchen made all kinds of funny faces to make her laugh. Qin Miaoxi sighed, "How did you tell I was angry?"

"Although you don't usually smile, your eyes are gentle. When your eyes turn cold, it means you are really angry."

"I didn't expect the young marquis to be so observant."

"That's right." Lu Qingchen said with some pride.

Qin Miaoxi smiled slightly and asked solemnly: "Do you think Sun Dong is the murderer?"

Lu Qingchen's expression also turned serious. "Whether he is the murderer or not will be determined by the evidence, not by our speculation."

Qin Miaoxi froze in place, looking him up and down in shock, "Young Marquis, I didn't realize you've really made... great progress!"

"I'm a person who only cares about the company of good people and bad people. Plus, I'm gifted. It's just a small matter of investigating a case, and I can easily catch the suspect."

"Cough cough!"

Qin Miaoxi choked and said with a sullen smile, "I'm praising you and you're out of breath."

"Tell me why you think Sun Dong is not the murderer."

"No, I don't think so. I just wonder if someone who can casually give human bone soup to customers would do such a thing just because he was threatened? Is he really passive and innocent?"

A chill suddenly rose under Lu Qingchen's feet.

The sky gradually darkened, but Qin Miaoxi was still walking in circles on the street.

Lu Qingchen's legs were weak as he followed her. He couldn't hold on any longer and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll know when I think of it."

"You haven't eaten anything all afternoon, why don't you go to Yunyin Pavilion and eat something!"

Qin Miaoxi shook her head and said, "No, I'll go home and eat later."

Family?

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare first."

Qin Miaoxi looked at his back in confusion. What was he preparing for?

The moon was bright in the sky. Lu Qingchen waited in the mansion. In the time it took to stick an incense stick, he asked Wen Zhu ten times, "Is the Madam back?"

Wen Zhu repeated helplessly, "Master, if Madam comes back, the concierge will send someone to report it."

"You haven't come back yet so late, is he in danger?"

He slapped his head in frustration and walked out the door with a look of regret on his face, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left her alone on the street."

Wen Zhu followed closely, but the people from the Marquis' Mansion searched the streets but couldn't find Qin Miaoxi.

"Where are the people? After all this time, you can't even find anyone?"

"My Lord, it is my incompetence."

At this time, Wen Zhu came hurriedly and said breathlessly: "Master, the lady is in the paper-making shop!"

Lu Qingchen hurried over and saw Qin Miaoxi leisurely eating dinner.

"Qin Miaoxi!"

She was startled by the sudden sound behind her. When she saw it was Lu Qingchen, she immediately glared back, "What are you yelling about? Don't you know to knock before you come in?"

Lu Qingchen gritted his teeth and said, "You said you were going home for dinner, where are you?"

"Aren't I just eating at home?"

Seeing that Qin Miaoxi said it as a matter of course, Lu Qingchen: "..."

[Has this woman forgotten that she is married? ]

Qin Miaoxi was stunned for a while before she suddenly remembered that she had married Lu Qingchen and was now the Marquis's wife.

She smiled awkwardly and greeted sincerely, "You haven't eaten yet! Why don't you try it?"

"No, my wife has abandoned me. I can't eat anything."

Lu Qingchen said this angrily, but his hands did not stop moving. He snatched the chopsticks from her hand and started eating.

Qin Miaoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She liked the way he said one thing but acted another.

"Guess where I just went?"

"Anyway, you didn't go back to the general's mansion."

"..."

"Then guess who I saw?"

"It's definitely not to see me."

"..."

Wen Zhu coughed twice loudly to remind his master not to go too far. He didn't notice that his wife's face changed.

Lu Qingchen snorted, "Who did you see?"

Qin Miaoxi whispered mysteriously in his ear, "I just went to the prison again, and I saw the owner of the tofu shop was there too."

Lu Qingchen frowned, "What is he going to do?"

"You definitely don't want him to go... to see Sun Dong."
