The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Looking at the liquid spreading under his feet, the black shadow made an unhappy sound. It was a female voice.

Instantly the black shadow seemed to be angered by his behavior, "Waste!"

But in my heart I felt that I had made a mistake and almost exposed my identity.

That’s right, this person was Qin Miaoxi who used a trick to force the truth out of her.

After being scolded by her, Qian Wanli's legs became weaker and weaker, his heart beat wildly as if it was about to burst out of his chest, and fear completely overwhelmed him like a tide.

He watched helplessly as two good brothers, who had been through thick and thin together, lost their breath in an instant before his eyes, their blood spreading on the ground. His mind went blank, and only endless fear remained, as if he would be the next one to fall in a pool of blood.

So, with trembling lips and a tearful voice, he blurted out, "I said, it's Master Cui."

Qin Miaoxi's figure was hidden in the darkness, revealing only a pair of hawk-like eyes. Her voice was low and cold, with an unquestionable sense of oppression: "Which Lord Cui?"

Qian Wanli's body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattered, and Cui Zhibao's majestic face kept flashing through his mind, but the life-and-death threat before him made him dare not hesitate at all.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner fear, and stammered, "It's the old Hanlin, Master Cui Zhibao."

When Qin Miaoxi heard this, her originally calm body froze noticeably, and a strong sense of surprise surged in her heart.

Cui Zhibao is a highly respected old Hanlin who has always acted prudently. How could he be involved in such a thing?

She frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked, "What did he ask you to do?"

Qian Wanli was so frightened that his face turned pale, tears flowed uncontrollably, and his nose started running.

His heart was full of entanglement and pain. On the one hand, he was afraid of Cui Zhibao's power, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the dark shadow in front of him that could take his life at any time.

He hiccuped and said in a trembling voice, "No...nothing, just...just let us...go to Yunyin Pavilion and book a private room, nothing else."

"You're getting so much money just for booking a room?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were full of suspicion and warning. She didn't believe things would be so simple.

After saying that, she reached out and took out a stack of banknotes from Qian Wanli's arms and shook them in front of his eyes. The slight sound made by the banknotes seemed particularly harsh in this silent space.

She stared at Qian Wanli sarcastically, trying to find a flaw in his panicked eyes.

She squeezed the banknote slightly, causing it to wrinkle. "If you don't tell the truth, you'll be the next one to be splattered with blood."

The cold tone seemed to carry real murderous intent, making Qian Wanli's blood almost freeze.

Qian Wanli fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands, and burst into tears, "I really didn't lie! If I tell even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

His body was shaking like a sieve, and his forehead hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.

Qin Miaoxi stood straight, looking down at Qian Wanli condescendingly, her eyes like sharp cold rays, penetrating his disguise.

She thought to herself, seeing how terrified and trembling Qian Wanli looked at the moment, it didn't look like he was being hypocritical or making up lies.

"Since I asked you to book a room, why did you go to the private room that day?"

Qin Miaoxi's voice was as cold as ice, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Qian Wanli's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He replied in a trembling voice, "This... these are all orders from Master Cui. How dare we disobey? We can only do as we are told!"

"What exactly did he say?" Qin Miaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on every subtle expression of Qian Wanli.

Qian Wanli swallowed and stammered, "Master Cui told us to go to the private room at the appointed time and stay there for an hour before leaving. However, we also need to tell the waiter that we will be back later and ask them not to clean up the food in the private room."

"Then what?" Qin Miaoxi asked, her tone becoming increasingly sharp.

"Then, we went out for an incense stick's time and then returned to the private room. We stayed there until the sun set." Qian Wanli lowered his head, not daring to breathe, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

In the dark alley, the bustling voices of people could be heard intermittently, and Qin Miaoxi's eyes flashed sharply in the interweaving of light and shadow.

At this moment, the mystery in her heart suddenly became clear as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had come out.

It turned out that the timing of this incense stick was carefully planned by Mr. Cui so that the blacksmith could go to the Tianzihao private room and complete the delivery without anyone noticing.

She slowly turned her head, stared at Qian Wanli with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Now, it's time for you to die."

"No, hero, spare me..."

Qian Wanli's begging for mercy came to an abrupt end. A sharp pain came from his chest, and a hot current spread in his chest. His eyes widened, filled with fear and despair. In an instant, everything went dark before his eyes, and his body fell weakly on the cold ground, without movement.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes suddenly turned cold as she glared at him coldly. She quickly and decisively stuffed the banknotes back into his arms. But as she lowered her head, her gaze fell on the pool of pungent liquid on the ground, and a look of undisguised disgust instantly crossed her face.

Then, she raised her hand and took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She gently dabbed some of the contents of the bottle on the tips of the three people's noses before getting up and leaving.

At dawn, a biting cold wind sliced ​​through the face like an icy blade, its bone-piercing chill piercing the heart. From the depths of this quiet alley, three sharp, shrill screams suddenly rang out, shattering the morning tranquility and instantly shattering the surrounding silence.

"Am I not dead?"

"Yes! Aren't you dead?"

"Yeah! Aren't you dead?"

Qian Baiwan and the other two looked at others in disbelief, and then looked at themselves.

"Are we drunk?" Zhou Sheng patted his drowsy head and immediately a strong smell of alcohol came out of his mouth.

Sun Fuhai covered his nose in disgust, "That's right! Smell it yourself and see how much you drank."

Zhou Sheng laughed awkwardly, "I dreamed that I was killed."

Sun Fuhai was stunned. "I also dreamed that I was killed."

After saying that, they both looked at Qian Baiwan.

Qian Baiwan waved his hands helplessly and said innocently, "I also dreamed that you were killed."

Immediately receiving the angry stares from the two, he hurriedly explained, "In the end, I died too."

"That's pretty much it."

"..."

After saying this, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, "It's really rare that brothers like us can have the same dream."

"Was it really a dream?"

"Of course!"

Qian Baiwan said with reason and evidence: "It seems that we drank too much. I even dreamed that I was scared to pee! Look, my pants are still dry now, it must not be real."

Zhou Sheng nodded in response: "You are right, it was just a dream. If someone robbed us, how come our banknotes are still on us?"

The three of them were quickly convinced by this reason and walked home jokingly.

After they left, two heads popped up from the side wall. They were Qin Miaoxi and Zi Yan.

Zi Yan asked in confusion, "Miss, do they just think I'm drunk so hastily?"

"if not?"

"Forget about others, but doesn't Qian Baiwan remember what he said?"

"So what?" Qin Miaoxi laughed sarcastically, "If Qian Baiwan doesn't say this, wouldn't it be telling the two of them that he exposed the noble's information? Then he won't know how he died."

Zi Yan suddenly understood. "No wonder he was pretending to be crazy and stupid. He's really a cunning fellow. But after what happened last night, I'm afraid they won't dare to do things for others carelessly again."

Qin Miaoxi smiled meaningfully and said pointedly, "No, when have you ever seen someone get off a pirate ship?"
