The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 144: Discussing the Countermeasures against Marquis Xuanping

Qin Miaoxi held the brocade dress in her hand and walked lightly to Lu Lao San. Her beautiful eyes were filled with authority as she coldly asked, "Is this dress yours?"

Lu Lao San glanced up nonchalantly, then frowned and said impatiently, "I don't remember. Where did you find this?"

"From your wife's closet." Qin Miaoxi's tone was cold, and every word was as cold as ice.

"Oh, then it must be mine! I have so many clothes as the stars, how can I remember them all in my mind?" Lu Laosan shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Then you should recognize the bloodstain on the sleeve, right?" Qin Miaoxi stepped forward, her eyes burning like two sharp blades piercing Lu Lao San, "This is human blood."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing a thousand waves. In an instant, everyone's eyes were shot at Lu Lao San like sharp arrows.

Lu Lao San suddenly felt like a thorn in his side, his panic evident in his expression. He waved his hands frantically and tried to defend himself, "This...this has nothing to do with me."

After a pause, he looked at Lu Yuande hurriedly again, as if asking or warning him.

"When Mei Niang died, we were all in the Boss's study discussing matters. How could I possibly split myself up and kill someone? Big Brother, you'd better help me clear this up, or don't blame me for revealing everything about you."

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes flickering as she glanced at the three Lu brothers with a profound look. She thought to herself, "Hmph, judging by the way they look, they're clearly not telling the truth." No wonder they didn't even refute the suspicions they'd made when they had no alibis, committing the crime at 12:00 and leaving the house at midnight. It seemed there were more hidden secrets.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuande's eyes widened in anger. He stepped forward and shouted at Lu Lao San, "Lao San, it turned out to be you! I've long seen that you had ill intentions towards Mei Niang, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel and ruthless as to be so brutal."

"Brother, please don't slander me. You know I didn't do that!"

Lu Laosan was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes were burning with anger, and his words were full of warnings, as if he was trying to intimidate Lu Yuande not to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi raised her lips in a cold arc. She turned to look at Liang Hongkai and said respectfully but without question, "Sir Liang, this Third Brother Lu has no solid alibi, and blood-stained clothes were found in his wardrobe. Now he is so evasive and furtive. It is extremely suspicious. In my opinion, we should take him back and torture him to get to the bottom of it!"

Liang Hongkai nodded slightly, a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Come here, take Lu Laosan and the evidence back to the Dali Temple and interrogate him strictly!"

Upon receiving the order, the yamen runners immediately rushed towards Lu Laosan like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

Lu Laosan suddenly shook his head, his vicious eyes like two sharp blades, piercing straight at Lu Yuande, and squeezed out a few harsh words from between his teeth: "Well, since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! My lord, I will confess everything!"

Liang Hongkai and Qin Miaoxi quickly exchanged a meaningful look. Liang Hongkai nodded slightly, then raised his hand to signal Lu Laosan to speak.

His eyes were stern, and his voice was low and authoritative: "Then tell me, if you say even a single lie, I will not forgive you."

Lu Lao San pointed at Lu Yuande, his body trembling slightly with excitement, and said loudly: "Sir, that night, the three of us brothers discussed important matters in his study until midnight. After that, the second brother and I went straight to Yichunyuan. He can testify for me!"

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of his finger and turned to Lu Lao Er.

I saw Lu Laoer's lips trembling, as if there were thousands of words rolling in his throat, but he stopped talking. Finally, as if all the strength in his body was drained away, he slowly lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Lao San was extremely anxious. Veins popped out on his forehead and he yelled at the top of his voice: "Second Brother, why don't you say something? It's already late, why are you mute!"

Qin Miaoxi's lips curled up in a mocking arc, and she sneered. The sound was like an ice pick, piercing everyone's ears. "Humph, it seems that even your own brother can't stand your lies. What important matter needs to be discussed until midnight? Do you really think we are all fools? Now there is witnesses and evidence. Who else can be the murderer but you? Come on! Take him to the prison and torture him severely. Stop when he is about to tell the truth!"

Third Lu's eyes instantly turned red with anxiety, and he shouted, "I'm not lying. Last night, he called the two of us into his study and told us clearly that he was going to deal with that wicked son of a bitch, Lu Qingchen. He also told us repeatedly to go to the Marquis' Mansion early this morning to block him, otherwise all our efforts would be wasted."

Qin Miaoxi stared at them with a cold gaze and asked, "So, were you planning how to deal with Marquis Xuanping last night?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes towards Lu Qingchen, a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

It's really sad that neither his father nor his uncle wish him well.

Lu Qingchen acted like a weakling at the right moment, his face filled with heartbreak, his lips trembling as he spat out two words: "How could you... do this to me?"

Lu Lao San seemed to be on fire, and he started to chatter even more: "Big brother also said that as long as we can return to the Marquis' Mansion, the county lady's 200-ton dowry will be ours, and he won't take a penny."

In an instant, Lu Qingchen's face turned gloomy. You can touch him, but you can't touch his wife.

Qin Miaoxi was also secretly angry in her heart: Does this man know that the county lady he is talking about is me? Before anything else, he started coveting my dowry. I have always known that the Lu family is shameless, but I didn't expect that they have no bottom line. It is simply abominable to the extreme.

Seeing the scrutinizing eyes of Liang Hongkai and others falling on him, Lu Yuande was so angry that he cursed: "Don't talk nonsense here, when did I say such a thing?"

Lu Lao San was not to be outdone and immediately cursed back, "Great! You've been lying to us all this time. You really want to take the county lady's dowry for yourself!"

Lu Yuande was so angry at this moment that he was fuming. He cursed Lu Laosan in his heart for being so stupid. He couldn't tell what to say and what not to say. He was simply a fool.

He felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Qin Miaoxi and Lu Qingchen's eyes.

"Second brother, you heard me! Stop thinking about getting benefits from the Marquis' Mansion. He's just using us as pawns. Once we completely offend Lu Qingchen, he'll come out and play the good guy. In the end, he'll be treated like a loving father and a filial son, and we'll get nothing."

Lu Lao Er seemed to be persuaded. The forbearance on his face finally reached its limit, and he finally exploded with anger: "Boss, is this really your plan?"

"Second brother, stay out of our own business and shut up!" Lu Yuande scolded him while winking at him desperately.

However, Lu Lao Er no longer wanted to remain silent. He turned to Liang Hongkai and the others and said, "Sir, I can testify that the third brother and I did go to his study last night to discuss how to deal with Lu Qingchen."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuande's face turned pale. These two people's words were like two sharp blades, directly slicing his reputation into pieces. He couldn't imagine what outsiders would say about him in the future. Would he still be able to successfully snatch the title of Marquis?

Lu Lao San, however, seemed to have won. He smiled and said to Liang Hongkai, "Sir, can you let me go now? I really didn't kill anyone."

Liang Hongkai fell into deep thought. Judging from the current situation, not only were they not suspected of murder, but even Lu Yuande did not have the time to commit the crime. Could it be that these three people were really not the murderers?

Just when he was about to question Qin Miaoxi, she continued to ask, "Really? You said all this. Words are not enough. What evidence do you have?"

Lu Yuande immediately became alert, "Yes, show me the evidence!"
