The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

When Qin Miaoxi stepped into the Lu family's gate, the three Lu brothers were on the verge of a fight, glaring at each other with their noses not noses and eyes not eyes. It seemed that a new round of fighting was about to break out.

Qin Miaoxi was furious and couldn't stand it any longer. She shouted, "Shut up!"

The voice was like a huge bell, making the ears of the three people buzz.

Although the three of them were unwilling, they curled their lips and closed their mouths reluctantly because Qin Miaoxi had accumulated power for a long time.

Qin Miaoxi finally had the energy to look around. She saw that the flower garden was in ruins, with pieces of yellow paper stuck all over the place. These were obviously the traces left by the "great god" they had invited from somewhere who had performed a ritual here with great fanfare.

On the altar, three large coarse porcelain bowls were neatly placed, and the rice and water in the bowls were still emitting wisps of hot steam. However, the immortal who was once revered as a god had long disappeared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Qin Miaoxi was furious upon seeing this. Her eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she cursed, "Who gave you the courage to do such a shameless thing here? Do you know that you are destroying the crime scene?"

Lu Lao Er was so frightened by her scolding that he shuddered and began to defend himself hesitantly, "Captain Qin, this isn't our fault! It's clearly the drought demon that's demanding our lives. If we don't perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirit, we might even lose our lives one day."

After saying this, he looked around seriously, as if the drought demon would appear at any time.

Yan Wanwan felt her temples throbbing as she listened to Lu Laoer's ridiculous remarks. She was so angry at his ignorant and foolish behavior that her head ached.

She suppressed her anger, turned to look at the yamen runner standing upright beside her, and asked anxiously, "Where did they start the fight earlier?"

The yamen runner hurriedly bowed and replied, "It's next to the dry well at the back of this yard."

Qin Miaoxi walked over and what came into her sight was a desolate scene with weeds growing wildly and wildly grown grass leaves intertwined with each other. It looked like no one had set foot here for a long time.

"Why are you fighting here?" Qin Miaoxi frowned and asked.

Lu Lao San kept muttering curse words and replied impatiently, "We saw that woman Meng was acting suspiciously, so we followed her all the way here to see what she was up to."

"So what did you see?" Qin Miaoxi stared at the two of them with sharp eyes.

They seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they shook their heads like rattles.

Lu Yuande was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes wide open, and he cursed: "You bastards! They clearly have evil intentions and come here to do shameful things. I treat you well on weekdays, how can you repay my kindness with hatred!"

"Brother, please stop spitting blood!" One of them stiffened his neck and argued loudly, "It was that bitch who took the initiative to stick to us. It has nothing to do with us."

"You still dare to be so stubborn!" Lu Yuande was furious and was about to pounce on him. "I will beat you to death today, you bastard!"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she shouted angrily, "Stop it!"

He immediately ordered the yamen runners, "Take them away and keep them separately. Don't let them have any more communication."

After the situation calmed down a bit, Qin Miaoxi turned her head to the side, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Who is this concubine they are talking about?"

Soon, the bailiff came over with a graceful woman.

The woman had a graceful figure, and when she walked, she walked like a willow swaying in the wind, yet she exuded a unique charm. Her face was pale, as if she had been ill for a long time, and I felt pity for her.

She bowed to Qin Miaoxi and spoke softly, "Sir, I am Meng."

Qin Miaoxi looked her up and down and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.

"This place is so remote, why did you come here alone?"

Meng raised her eyes slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice soft and gentle, "Your Excellency, my raccoon pet got playful and disappeared near here. I was so worried that I came here to look for him."

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall down in the next second.

Qin Miaoxi pondered secretly in her heart. She only knew that Lu Yuande had a concubine named Zhao. Zhao was arrogant and domineering. In order to win favor, she had a conflict with Lu Qingchen.

But what about this Meng who suddenly appeared out of nowhere? Look at this Meng, the cat slave she raised must be worth a lot of money. Lu Yuande is quite attentive to her and really has deep feelings for her!

Qin Miaoxi paced back and forth around the dry well, her expression solemn, her eyes sweeping across the ground like a torch.

"There are no cat paw prints on the ground. I don't think your cat would run here. Go look somewhere else."

Meng bowed gratefully, took light steps, and slowly left.

Qin Miaoxi nodded slightly in response. When Meng's figure gradually disappeared, her gaze returned to this desolate land.

Beside the dry well, a few green grasses lay limply on the ground, their leaves broken, having obviously been crushed by heavy objects.

Qin Miaoxi frowned slightly, doubts arose in her heart, and she moved lightly to the edge of the well, leaning over to look into the deep well mouth.

The light in the well was dim, and there seemed to be a dark shadow hidden in it, which was not clear.

Qin Miaoxi's eyebrows knitted tightly together. Without hesitation, she turned around and called the yamen runners in a crisp voice, "Excuse me, brothers. I'm afraid there's something strange in this well. Please quickly salvage it and take a look."

The yamen runners did not dare to delay and quickly found ropes, hooks and other things and started working in a hurry.

Soon, a guard's cry came from the bottom of the well: "Mr. Qin, this is terrible! Someone has fallen into the well!"

Qin Miaoxi's beautiful eyes suddenly froze, and a barely perceptible change of surprise flashed across her expression. She moved quickly with lotus steps, hurried to the edge of the well, and leaned down to look into the well.

She wondered in her heart, this place is desolate and remote, with few people coming. Why did this person fall into the well and die for no reason?

Soon, the body that was salvaged from the shore was already stiff and cold, with clothes torn and disheveled, and scratches all over the body. Judging from its miserable state, it must have experienced a thrilling struggle before death.

The person's hair was scattered messily on his face, blurring his features. Qin Miaoxi hurriedly squatted down, raised her bare hands, and brushed aside the wet and messy hair. A face as pale as paper came into view. It was actually a woman.

Her eyes were wide open and lifeless, and she was obviously dead. Even after she had passed away for a long time, the fear she showed before her death was still etched between her eyebrows.

"First, move the body aside and place it properly. Don't disturb the scene in any way."

Qin Miaoxi opened her red lips and gave orders calmly. The yamen runners did not dare to delay and immediately followed her orders.

She squatted down again, her eyes sharp as torches, carefully examining the corpse inch by inch. Suddenly, she discovered a small but hideous tooth mark on the neck of the deceased. Looking at the body again, there was no blood at all. This was not caused by soaking in well water, but a sign that the blood had been sucked dry.

What made her even more certain was that the dead man's fingers were as clean as before, with no traces of grabbing foreign objects while struggling, which showed that the body was thrown into the dry well after death.

Qin Miaoxi raised her lotus head slightly, looked at the yamen runner standing beside her, and asked in a voice as cold as a spring, "Does anyone know who this person is?"

The bailiffs looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

"I'll go to the Lu family and ask right away." A yamen runner volunteered.

Qin Miaoxi nodded slightly. A moment later, the Lu family's servants hurried over to identify the body. When they saw the body, they exclaimed, "Isn't this Meixiang?"

Qin Miaoxi frowned, "But is it Mr. Lu's concubine who has been missing for a long time?"

"That's right, it's her! How could she die in this dry well?" The servant's voice was filled with panic and confusion.

Qin Miaoxi pursed her lips and remained silent. After pondering for a moment, she ordered the yamen runners, "Bring the body back to the yamen first. I will examine it carefully when I get back."

Upon hearing the noise, the yamen runners hurriedly lifted the body and walked quickly towards the yamen.
