The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Just as Lu Qingchen was about to reveal his identity, Qin Miaoxi stopped him, her eyes fixed on the old woman who had walked out of the house because of the noise.

Her voice suddenly gained a sharp edge. "When that man was buried yesterday, he was buried as your son, Li Dazhuang. If you don't reveal his true identity, aren't you afraid that your son will be taken away by the Soul Catcher in the future?"

As expected, as soon as Qin Miaoxi finished speaking, Li Dazhuang and the woman's faces changed color.

"Boss, what happened? What did she mean by that?"

The old woman hurried to Li Dazhuang. She was Li Dazhuang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li.

As the saying goes, the older people get, the more superstitious they become. They only have one precious son in their life, so they are naturally afraid that the family line will be cut off because of him.

"Get out of here right now. I don't want to bother with you."

Li Dazhuang lowered his head and warned the chattering old woman, "She's talking nonsense, just to cheat our family out of our money."

But his eyes kept blinking, warning her not to talk nonsense.

Hearing this, Lu Qingchen laughed out loud, "Old man, look at my jade pendant, can it buy thirty or fifty of yours? Do we need to cheat you?"

The old man's face turned red and his neck became thick because of his ridicule. It was obvious that this man was either rich or noble, so he didn't dare to offend him casually.

The other villagers looked at each other, and only then realized that they might have misunderstood them.

The old village chief looked at the two men and asked solemnly, "Li Dazhuang, what exactly is going on? When did your son die?"

[Your son died, but my son is alive and well. How unlucky.]

Qin Miaoxi smiled, this was the truth.

But in front of the elder, Li Dazhuang did not dare to act rashly. He wanted to explain but hesitated. Finally, under the angry gaze of the village chief, he told the truth.

"Village Chief, my son is not dead, he..."

Qin Miaoxi spoke first, "Who was the person you buried yesterday?"

Li Dazhuang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he could not refute as he was guarding the village chief.

"This man's death was suspicious. You are suspected of murder. Even if you don't speak out now, the authorities will come to arrest you later."

The villagers immediately started talking about it. People were most afraid of seeing officials, not to mention that killing someone was a serious crime that could result in the death penalty. They immediately retreated and no longer dared to stand up for Li Dazhuang.

Lu Qingchen swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Did they really kill him?"

"No, this is called false surrender." Qin Miaoxi looked at the chaotic crowd meaningfully.

When a person does not admit his crime, if you accuse him of a more serious crime, he will confess everything out of fear.

Qin Miaoxi said to Li Dazhuang with a serious face: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Besides, I've already sent one of your sons away, and I will never send another one. You'll do whatever you want."

After saying that, she turned around and left so fast that even Lu Qingchen couldn't react.

"Ah? Wait for me!"

Qin Miaoxi didn't walk very fast. Lu Qingchen glanced at the people behind him and asked in a low voice, "Just leaving like that?"

"Count to three."

"what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief behind him shouted angrily, "Li Dazhuang, did you really kill someone?"

"No, how could I kill someone!"

The old woman could no longer hold back and shouted, "We didn't kill that man, and he wasn't our son."

Qin Miaoxi stopped and stared at her dimly, "Who is he?"

"He is the son-in-law of the Qian family, Rongsheng."

The old man glared at the old woman fiercely, "You stupid woman, how could you say that? Have you forgotten what Miss Qian said?"

The old woman was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. "Do you really want our son to be burned to death?"

The old man was suddenly speechless. He put down the shovel in his hand dejectedly, lowered his head and said no more.

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi hurriedly asked, "Why was the Qian family's son-in-law buried as your son?"

The old couple looked at each other, both with frustrated expressions on their faces. At this point, there was nothing to hide.

According to their account, they were once servants of the Qian family, and they redeemed their indentures when they were old and were able to return home.

Just the day before yesterday, Miss Qian found them and said that her husband Rongsheng was having an affair outside, and was discovered by her husband's family and later beaten to death with sticks.

The Qian family couldn't afford to lose this person, so they came to me and hoped to bury him in the name of their son. For this, I gave them an additional 500 taels of silver as hush money.

The old couple thought it was free money, so they agreed to it, and he was buried as their son.

Qin Miaoxi stared at them fiercely, "You said Rong Sheng was beaten to death with sticks?"
