The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

"Sun Dong? Why would he go to see the murderer who killed his wife?"

Lu Qingchen found his behavior very strange. [He had even taken the blame for Sun Dong in court. Could it be that the two of them were having an affair?]

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

This brain is really hard to describe.

She took a deep breath, gathered herself, and said, "I quietly asked the bailiff to let him in, but he ended up serving him his last meal."

"Ridiculous! The trial hasn't even started yet, what kind of last meal is he sending? Are you so eager for his death?"

Lu Qingchen was stunned by what he said, then looked up at Qin Miaoxi in shock, "He didn't want him to die before because he knew he was innocent. Now he hopes for his death because he has become a scapegoat."

"Not bad, you have some ideas. Do you think he is a suspect now?"

"Yes, there is, but we have no evidence!"

Qin Miaoxi placed her hand on his shoulder and said carefully, "This depends on you."

"What do you mean?"

"Find someone to keep an eye on him."

Qin Miaoxi said meaningfully, "If he has done it, there will definitely be traces left. At this moment, he is certain that Sun Dong will be convicted and that Sun Dong will die. At this time, he will relax his vigilance, and this is also the time when he is most likely to reveal his flaws. As long as we keep a close eye on him, we will definitely find something. I am still very confident in the work of the young marquis."

"Okay, I'll send someone over right away."

Lu Qingchen was completely bewildered by her tricks and only realized it when he was about to leave the house. "Are you planning not to return to the Marquis' Mansion today?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled awkwardly, "How could that be! I just happened to be here, so I came in to have a bite. I'll be back later."

Lu Qingchen said "oh" and left reluctantly.

After coming out, Wen Zhu asked in confusion: "Master, why don't you ask Madam to go back now?"

Lu Qingchen rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. "What do you know? Women don't like to be bound. If I asked her to go back now, she would definitely find a reason to refuse. But as long as I don't say anything, she will have no room to refuse and can only go back obediently."

Wen Zhu looked like he was being taught a lesson, "Master, you still have a way."

"of course."

Lu Qingchen became proud again, because he knew Qin Miaoxi best.

The next day, Qin Miaoxi came to the prison again. When she found Sun Dong, he was lying in the straw like a living dead. Even when he heard footsteps, he did not react at all. His eyes were staring at the ground, empty and lifeless.

Qin Miaoxi signaled the guards to open the cell door. She walked up to Sun Dong and said with her head down, "I believe you didn't kill anyone."

Sun Dong's hand moved, but he still ignored her.

"I'm here to help you find evidence."

Sun Dong laughed sarcastically, "Haven't you already convicted me? I am the murderer."

Qin Miaoxi didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she got straight to the point and said, "Did you encounter anything strange in the grove? Maybe that's your alibi."

"Strange thing?"

Sun Dong burst into laughter. "The strangest thing that happened to me was that Cuihua didn't come. I waited there for a whole night. What could I do?"

He laughed until he burst into tears, "If I could do it, I would definitely take Cuihua away immediately and not let her be killed."

"Why were you so sure from the beginning that Cuihua was dead? Why did you even put rice sac flowers in the tofu pot?"

"If she's not dead, she would definitely contact me, but now I have no news from her."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes fell on his nails, "How did you get your hands like that?"

Sun Dong lowered his head and saw indentations of varying degrees on his index finger and thumb. An idea suddenly struck him, "I made these when I was picking at tree branches. That night, I peeled off the outer bark of a tree in the grove. They're easy to identify. Once you see them, you'll know I wasn't lying. That night, I was really waiting for Cuihua to elope with me."

Qin Miaoxi gave him a deep look. "I'll check. Also, have you really never seen those blood-stained shoes?"

He replied categorically: "No."

"But the style of those shoes is very similar to what you usually wear."

Sun Dong looked at the shoes on his feet and said, "I like shoes with dark patterns the most. Many embroidery workshops can make them."

His words suddenly gave Qin Miaoxi inspiration. After leaving the prison, she immediately went to Shi Xinzhe to ask for the pair of blood-stained shoes, and then searched all the embroidery workshops in the city.

Finally, she found an embroidery workshop. The owner said that she had seen this embroidery method before. Even the cloth used for the shoes was the new cloth that arrived in their store this year and was unique in the city.

Qin Miaoxi asked excitedly, "Who knows how to embroider like this?"

"It's Cuihua, the Tofu Beauty! Because she's so good at embroidery, she often comes to us for embroidery work."

"Did she ever buy this kind of cloth?"

"I did, a while ago."

"Besides Cuihua, who else can embroider like this?"

"No, this embroidery method can be considered Cuihua's original creation. No one else can do it."

After getting the correct answer, Qin Miaoxi went to the grove in the east of the city and searched around there. Finally, she found the bare tree without bark that Sun Dong mentioned.

She said to herself, "It seems that Sun Dong did not lie."

After returning the bloody shoes to the government office, the bailiff asked curiously, "Mr. Qin, have you found any new clues?"

Qin Miaoxi didn't answer, but asked, "Have you compared these shoes with Cuihua's husband's? Are they the right size?"

The bailiff nodded, then shook his head, and hesitated to say, "It was done, but it was inappropriate."

She looked at him suspiciously, "If it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. What's wrong with saying it?"

The yamen runner smiled awkwardly, "That person's feet are very small, like a woman's."

Another person couldn't help laughing. "Yeah! Who would have thought that he is so big and has a pair of feet like that? It looks ridiculous."

However, Qin Miaoxi couldn't laugh. Suddenly, an incredible thought arose in her mind.

"Master Shi, I want to see the body parts of the tofu shop again."

Shi Xinzhe, who was drinking tea, almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "Coroner Qin, the murderer has been found."

"But he didn't plead guilty."

"The evidence is irrefutable. Even if he doesn't plead guilty, he should still be sentenced."

Qin Miaoxi stared at her stubbornly, and finally he nodded helplessly, "Go ahead!"

She ran quickly to the stable where the body fragments were still preserved. She picked up a bone and looked at it carefully, and finally she found the problem.

She picked up the knife without hesitation and cut the bone cleanly and neatly. Despite being cooked for a long time, the bone was so large that the inside still showed a white color and had not turned to gray.

"It's exactly what I expected."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a smile of confidence.

Later, Sun Dong was sentenced to be beheaded in public for killing Cuihua.

At noon that day, many people gathered at Caishikou waiting for execution. Sun Dong was escorted over, and was greeted by a wave of rotten vegetables, rotten eggs and deafening curses.

Many people patronized the tofu shop because of Cuihua's reputation as the tofu beauty. Later, they found that she was kind and warm, and gradually they also liked to go to the shop to eat chicken soup tofu. Who knew that she was killed by this beast? It is unforgivable.

Time passed minute by minute, and the yamen runner whispered in Shi Xinzhe's ear: "Sir, the time has come."

"it is good!"

Shi Xinzhe loudly recounted Sun Dong's crimes, then threw down his command arrow and shouted, "Behead him!"

The executioner came up to the stage with a wine jug in his hand, took a big gulp, and then sprayed the wine on the big knife with force.

The big knife was raised high, flashing coldly under the scorching sun.

At this critical moment, a cry like thunder rang out, "Spare his life!"
