The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi stared at Meng with a burning gaze and asked, "Why did you want to kill Mei Niang? As far as I know, there was no conflict between you. Besides, she is about to leave the mansion and has no ill will towards you."

Meng's expression instantly became extremely painful. She lowered her head and stammered, "I really didn't want to kill her. At that time, I couldn't control my body at all. I just wanted to suck blood, no matter whose blood it was."

From her words, everyone learned that when she ran back after dealing with Meixiang, she happened to run into Mei Niang head-on. The moment Mei Niang reached out to help her, she smelled blood, and the blood-sucking worms in her body instantly surged, driving her mad and uncontrollably killing Mei Niang.

"If Mei Niang's death was an accident, then what about Li? She died in her own bedroom. You didn't go crazy and run into her room to kill her, did you?"

Meng suddenly raised her head, and the scarlet color in her eyes was shocking.

"That fool Li always tries to flatter the weak and praise the strong. She wanted to curry favor with Zhao and humiliate me. She called me over and cursed and mocked me, thinking that this would please Zhao and get more benefits from the first wife."

Meng laughed strangely, "She's so wrong. How could I let her succeed? Since she's been delivered to my door as food, why shouldn't I enjoy it? But her blood is just like her, sour and smelly, and it's very unpalatable."

At this point, the cause of death of the three people has become clear, and Meng's motive for murder has also been explained clearly.

Lu Qingchen couldn't hold back any longer and was about to continue asking the question that had been interrupted earlier, but he saw Qin Miaoxi had walked up to Meng and whispered a few words in her ear.

In an instant, a look of extreme horror appeared on Meng's face.

Qin Miaoxi just stared at her quietly without asking any other questions.

After a long while, she actually ordered the bailiff to take Meng back, and asked someone to tell Liang Hongkai that the case could be closed.

At this moment, Lu Qingchen hurried forward to stop the two of them, blinking his eyes, his eyes full of hints: "No! Are you sure this is the end?"

Has she forgotten Meng's strange attitude? Shouldn't she get to the bottom of it?

Qin Miaoxi also winked at him, a smile on her face. She walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Young Marquis, don't be too nervous. The case is closed."

After hearing this, although Lu Qingchen was full of doubts and reluctance, he had no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, Meng, who was about to walk out the door, suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, stared at Qin Miaoxi intently, and asked, "How did you find out it was me? There was blood on Lu Lao San's body, why didn't you suspect him?"

Qin Miaoxi's expression was calm, and she spoke calmly, "We've already investigated the wrinkles and bloodstains on Third Lu's body. They were simply accidentally rubbed against him while he was weaving through the branches outside the study. We also questioned Lu Yuande. It was you who strongly suggested to the Second and Third Houses that they seek out a witch to exorcise the evil spirits, deliberately fabricating the rumor that they had run into a blood-sucking drought demon on their way here, thus triggering the rumor of its revenge. Not only that, you also exaggerated and exaggerated the incident, saying that it would bring immeasurable bloodshed to the Lu family, causing panic among the people. All these clues point to you. How else do you want to argue?"

When Meng heard this, her face turned pale and blue, her lips trembled, but she could no longer speak.

She was escorted by the yamen runners, looking back every few steps, her eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

After Meng's figure completely disappeared, Lu Qingchen approached Qin Miaoxi and asked, "Why did you let her go? There are still suspicious points in the case, and Zhao hasn't woken up yet..."

Qin Miaoxi suddenly interrupted him, "Zhao is dead."

"Dead... dead?"

Lu Qingchen looked at the person lying on the bed in disbelief, "Didn't you just save her? How did she die again?"

Qin Miaoxi shook her head. "I don't have the ability to save someone who has lost all his blood. Those are just tricks to stimulate Meng to tell the truth."

Lu Qingchen went forward to check Zhao's breath, and sure enough, she was no longer breathing, and had no pulse. Her body was cold, and she was completely dead.

He shook his hands in disgust and said, "Let her die, it's not a pity for a woman like this to die."

After saying that, he leaned close to her ear mysteriously and asked curiously, "Wife, what on earth did you say to Meng just now? Look how scared she is?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Lu Qingchen's ear and whispered, "I told her that the blood-sucking worms in her body were not obtained by accident, but someone did it on purpose."

Lu Qingchen's eyes widened in surprise, "How could this really happen? Who is behind this?"

Qin Miaoxi solemnly instructed: "Go check on Lu Laosan's wife. Meixiang's death is suspicious."

Lu Qingchen was surprised and immediately made arrangements.

She stared at Lu Qingchen's back as he walked away until he disappeared from her sight, then she slowly turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Meng was.

Just now, what she asked about was not the real cause of Meixiang's death, but the past of Lu Qingchen's mother, Jiang.

According to her in-depth and meticulous investigation during this period, Zhao has always been narrow-minded and intolerant.

In this mansion, Zhao abused Meng with unbridled brutality. Strangely, she never took Meng's life. The only reason she allowed Meng to constantly taunt her was because she had something in Meng's possession, preventing her from being eliminated.

Considering that Zhao was once a maid of Lu Qingchen's mother, she boldly guessed that this handle was related to Jiang.

At the same time, the servants of the Lu family began to discuss privately.

Some people said that the Meng family deserved it, while others worried that the Lu family would never recover from this incident.

In the Dali Temple, the real murderer Meng was arrested and Lu Yuande was acquitted.

However, when he stepped out of the yamen, none of his brothers came to greet him, and even his beloved concubine was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, he did not know that one of his concubines had died and the other was the murderer hiding behind the scenes.

"Haha! These people are really my good brothers!"

Lu Yuande curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes instantly became gloomy as the abyss, as if he had made some important decision at this moment.

Then, without saying a word, he turned and strode towards the Lu Mansion.

Behind him, two figures appeared quietly like ghosts and followed slowly. Their eyes were fixed on Lu Yuande's back as they disappeared into the crowd.

In the study of the Marquis' Mansion, Wen Zhu, who had not been seen for a long time, was waiting here quietly.

"Master! Found it."

Hearing this, Lu Qingchen's cynical face rarely showed a ripple, and he asked anxiously: "Are you sure?"

"The things have been transported back to the Marquis' Mansion. Sir, would you like to take a look?" Wen Zhu spoke in a respectful tone, with caution in his words.

After saying that, he raised his lowered eyes quietly and looked at Lu Qingchen inconspicuously.

Having followed Lu Qingchen since childhood, he knew only too well how much his master cared about his wife's affairs. Now, the key object he had been pursuing for years had finally been found, and he secretly worried that Lu Qingchen, due to excessive emotion, would do something unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingchen just lowered his head and didn't say a word for a long time.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his tone returning to its usual calmness, and asked, "How's the investigation going with the Zou family?"

Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment before quickly replying, "It's been verified. She once purchased a batch of supplies in the Western Regions, including jewelry, utensils, and some very strange insect eggs. According to the locals, the sale of those eggs is strictly prohibited because once they come into contact with the human body, they will burrow into it and suck blood."

Lu Qingchen nodded in understanding and sighed, "My wife is truly exceptionally clever! She's long anticipated the culprit behind this. Zou is a shrewd woman, well aware of the long-standing conflict between Zhao and Meng. She devised a clever scheme, using them both to implant the insect eggs in each other's bodies. This way, no matter who consumes the eggs, they'll ultimately help her get rid of those concubines she hates."

Although Wen Zhu hadn't participated in the entire investigation, having only heard snippets, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "As expected, a woman's heart is the most vicious! When a woman gets ruthless, what can a man do?"

"Let's go and tell my wife the good news. How can I take credit for it?" Lu Qingchen got up impatiently and rushed out the door. His laughter while talking to himself could be heard from a distance.

Wen Zhu: “…”

Ever since his master got married, he has been talking about his wife every other sentence. But it’s okay this way. He just hopes that his wife won’t let his master down.
