The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

"Were you the one who was talking just now?" Lu Lao Er's brows knitted into a knot, his eyes wide open, full of questioning, "How could you kick the witch out?"

Qin Miaoxi shook her head slightly, her face full of innocence, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Ah? What are you talking about? The criminals just now were clearly trying to break into the crime scene and destroy the evidence."

When Lu Lao Er heard this, the fat on his face trembled. He stared at Qin Miaoxi fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "What do you know! This is the witch who came to exorcise the drought demon for us. We have offended the drought demon. If we don't exorcise it quickly, at the very least, we will suffer from headaches and fever, tormenting us to death. At the worst, we will die without a complete body and our whole family will suffer!"

He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, veins bulging in his neck. He pointed his fingers randomly in the air, "Last time, the witch doctor was already here to cast a spell, and she could have completely driven away the drought demon. But then you insisted on coming to investigate and interrupted the process. Now, we have to start all over again!"

Lu Lao San also echoed from the side, nodding his head like pounding garlic, and shouting at the top of his voice: "Yes, are you just hoping that our Lu family will die out so that you can take over our Lu family's assets?"

The corners of Qin Miaoxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked speechless. After a pause, she said expressionlessly, "As far as I know, your Lu family has been farmers for three generations. I'm curious, is this some kind of remarkable asset?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a loud slap in the face of Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao San. Their faces turned red and they were speechless for a long time.

Liang Hongkai stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, watching the two of them interacting with each other, speechless.

He secretly complained that these two people were fighting each other to the death before, like enemies, wishing that the other would disappear immediately, but now they suddenly shared a common hatred and united against the enemy.

Qin Miaoxi listened to these two people cursing her and Lu Qingchen in their hearts, and her eyes rolled to the sky. Can't these two people have a little self-awareness?

She sighed in mock resignation and said, "Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. You know what? Hanba is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. If that witch isn't skilled enough, not only will she fail to exorcise Hanba, but she'll also cause a backlash. Then, a bloody disaster will fall upon you two."

When Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao San heard this, the blood instantly drained from their faces. Their expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other, waved their hands in panic, and said in unison: "No, the witch's magic power is very strong. She will definitely help us resolve it."

Qin Miaoxi raised her chin slightly, her eyes deep and unfathomable as she asked, "Do you know what method she used? Why not tell us about it? We can help you think of more solutions."

"The witch once said that if we drop blood into a bowl and use a spell to exorcise the evil spirit, we can drive away the drought demon and resolve the deadlock."

Liang Hongkai frowned when he heard this, his heart full of doubts. Could this mysterious method really work?

That's not right. All signs indicate that the deceased was murdered and has nothing to do with the drought demon at all. I was almost misled by this superstitious belief.

Qin Miaoxi nodded seriously and spoke thoughtfully, "According to some ancient techniques, this is indeed a way to exorcise evil spirits. But the key question is, what makes you so sure it's the drought demon that's haunting this place? What if it's some other ghost? Wouldn't this spell have targeted the wrong person? It would be a waste of effort and might even cause more trouble."

When Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao San heard this, their faces turned pale and red, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

Lu Lao Er mumbled, mumbling for a long time before finally uttering, "Impossible! They're all so certain we ran into a drought demon. How could it be anything else?"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Qin Miaoxi's eyes. She stared at the other person and asked repeatedly, "They? Tell me in detail, who are they?"

"Yes...they are the servants in our house."

Lu Lao San answered in a stammering voice and met Lu Lao Er's eyes. Both of them were filled with helplessness and confusion. No one could point out which servants were spreading such rumors. However, unknowingly, the servants around them seemed to have unanimously agreed and spoke in unison.

Qin Miaoxi finally understood. It seemed that they had been confused by those malicious rumors from the very beginning. No second possibility had ever flashed through their minds. They were firmly convinced that they had accidentally offended the drought demon, which was why they were sinking deeper and deeper into this wrong cognition and fell into the trap of someone with ulterior motives.

At this moment, Lu Laoer and Liang Hongkai seemed to have finally come to their senses and realized that something was wrong.

But Lu Lao Er was still full of hesitation, and he stammered, "But... that witch really has some tricks. Maybe even if it's not the drought demon that's causing the trouble, she has the ability to help us get rid of the disaster!"

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi tilted her head slightly and glanced at the witch who was still wedged in the ground in a mess in the distance. With a calm expression, she asked leisurely, "What kind of ability does she have?"

"She...she has divine power!"

Lu Lao Er replied hastily, his eyes filled with confusion, "When she first entered the village, she exuded a mysterious aura, and we all felt it clearly."

After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Lu Laosan and Liang Hongkai, as if trying to seek their approval.

Seeing this, Liang Hongkai immediately nodded, his face full of confidence, and responded, "Indeed, the wind was so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes. I think it must be the witch showing her power."

Lu Lao San also nodded in agreement and added, "Moreover, that witch can also burn evil spirits with her sword. She really has the ability to exorcise evil spirits."

She looked at the three people in surprise and couldn't help but repeat, "Burning evil spirit?"

As Liang Hongkai spoke, he raised his hand to imitate the witch's movements when she came in. "She lightly slashed with the peach wood sword, and it was as if something in the air was instantly ignited, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated."

Qin Miaoxi nodded slightly, then gestured casually and asked, "Like this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, flames suddenly shot out where her fingers passed.

Lu Laosan's eyes instantly widened, and his jaw almost dropped in shock. He subconsciously took a step back, pointing his trembling finger at Qin Miaoxi, and stammered, "You...you can also exorcise evil spirits..."

Liang Hongkai's eyes widened in disbelief. If it weren't for the table beside him, he would have almost fallen to the ground in shock, muttering non-stop, "It's so magical..."

Qin Miaoxi glanced at the two people in front of her who were terrified, a nonchalant smile appeared on her lips, and with a light flick of her slender fingertips, the cluster of jumping flames began to sway, as if it was a delicate flower being played with in her palm.

In a moment, she waved her jade hand lightly, and the flame disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like a well-trained and obedient elf. The air around her was still clear, and there was not even a trace of smoke or dust left.

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Liang Hongkai's eyes were full of curiosity. "How did you do that?"

Qin Miaoxi said leisurely: "This is just a trivial trick. As long as you have it, you can control fire at will."

She slowly spread out her palms, and a small lump of white powder suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The powder shone with a strange luster under the light, and with a "puff", it instantly burned up in the air.

"This is actually... white phosphorus!?" Liang Hongkai's voice trembled slightly, but he could not hide his certainty.

"Yes, white phosphorus is extremely flammable once it comes into contact with air."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the crowd, her eyes piercing with insight. "If you don't believe me, just look at that witch's peach wood sword. There must be a hidden mechanism inside. The white phosphorus must be hidden inside, and it's only when it comes into contact with the air that it triggers all these strange phenomena."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hongkai's figure flashed. He didn't look like a fifty-year-old man at all. With his vigorous steps and agile posture, he ran to the witch in a few steps, picked up the peach wood sword from the ground and looked at it. The series of actions were completed in an instant.

His eyes were cold, and the peach wood sword in his hand made a slight "clicking" sound as he fiddled with it. Sure enough, at the hidden connection between the scabbard and the sword body, an exquisite yet evil mechanism was revealed.

"Yes, there is white phosphorus hidden here."

"What about that gust of wind?"

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, "You're talking about that!"

"what!"

In an instant, a man on fire jumped out from the bushes, "Save me! Save me!"

"Who are you?"

"I am the witch's man. Please save me quickly, otherwise I will be punished by heaven."

At this time, the man was still shouting. Liang Hongkai saw the wind bags scattered on the ground and instantly understood what was going on. He ordered the yamen runners: "Come here, take them back for a thorough investigation."

Only then did Lu Laosan finally realize that they had been deceived. He kicked and cursed at the unconscious witch, "You bastard, how dare you lie to us?"

Qin Miaoxi stopped him and asked, "Who hired that witch?"

Lu Lao San was stunned and looked at Lu Lao Er blankly, "You found it."

"Bullshit, it's clearly..."
