The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi chased the black shadow out of the alley, but in the crowded street, the man's trace had already disappeared.

Just as he was about to turn around, he bumped into a yamen runner who was running by.

"Mr. Qin, the master wants you to return to the yamen."

Qin Miaoxi glanced at the noisy street unwillingly. Who was that person?

Inside the yamen, Liang Hongkai couldn't contain his excitement and paced back and forth, rubbing his hands.

Qin Miaoxi came over breathlessly and asked impatiently, "Master Liang, what did you find?"

Liang Hongkai waved his hand slowly, poured her a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, wait until the person arrives. Drink some water first."

After a while, the captain appeared at the door. This time, Liang Hongkai quickly approached him, staring at him with a piercing gaze and asking, "How's the investigation going?"

"Sir, Chen Youcai is indeed suspicious. The brothers who were following him saw him go out to burn paper in the middle of the night and even tried to destroy a box."

The captain placed a wooden box on the ground and said, "We've brought everything back. It's confirmed that the contents are from the Qian family."

Liang Hongkai was overjoyed, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said yes repeatedly.

"Now, go and bring Chen Youcai back for questioning immediately."

"Yes."

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help asking any longer: "Sir, what on earth is going on?"

Although she also suspected that Chen Youcai was the murderer, it was really a far-fetched to conclude that he was guilty just because he burned paper.

Liang Hongkai said complacently: "Xiao Qin, you don't know this! Miss Qian has an adulterer, and that man is Chen Youcai."

"The iron coffin you had someone bring back also confirmed that it was made by someone hired by the Qian family. Didn't you say that the decaying corpse was that of the Qian family's live-in son-in-law? They found out that Rong Sheng had long since left the place where he was trading. According to his itinerary, he should have arrived in Jingzhao a few days ago. So, I speculate that Chen Youcai and Miss Qian were in collusion, and when Rong Sheng returned home, he discovered the affair, he killed her to silence her. In order to conceal the secret of the murder, Chen Youcai killed all three members of the Qian family and dumped their bodies in a cave outside the village."

As he spoke, he patted Qin Miaoxi's shoulder and praised her, "Xiao Qin! Old man, I admire no one but you. As expected, whoever you said the murderer was, it was him."

Qin Miaoxi felt her head buzzing. After discovering what was hidden in Miss Qian's room and listening to the maid's confession, she concluded that the relationship between Miss Qian and her husband was not as simple as it seemed.

However, she never expected that there was someone else who was having the affair.

This discovery also made her instantly understand why the Qian family accused Rong Sheng of having an affair. It turned out that they were projecting what they had done onto others.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Youcai was brought to the yamen.

"Woo woo!" He stretched his neck, his mouth was stuffed tightly with cloth, his snot and tears mixed together, and his face was flushed red.

Liang Hongkai glanced at his filthy look with disdain and said, "Let him go! Let him wipe his face."

"Master Liang, what grounds do you have for arresting me this time?"

Chen Youcai ripped the rag from his mouth and roared at Liang Hongkai in anger, "I will definitely let my father inform the emperor about this."

Liang Hongkai sneered, "Chen Youcai, I'm not afraid even if your father comes. Now we have evidence that you killed the three members of the Qian family. You might as well confess the truth, otherwise don't blame me for torturing you."

As he finished speaking, the yamen runners on both sides struck their water and fire sticks, staring at him like tigers.

Chen Youcai shrank his neck in panic and shouted in disbelief, "I didn't kill the three Qian family members."

"If you still don't admit it, I will make you convinced."

Liang Hongkai threw the box of things in front of him and asked sternly, "Do you recognize these things?"

Chen Youcai fell silent as he looked at the scattered items in the box. After a while, he continued, "What kind of evidence is this? I was with the young marquis when the three members of the Qian family died. They can all testify for me."

"Haha! Master Chen, you probably forgot that you were an hour late that day and arrived at the pleasure boat at the hour of Xu. You could have rushed to the pleasure boat after killing the three members of the Qian family."

"These are all speculations. Did anyone see me kill anyone? I was just a little late because of something on the road that day. You can't say I'm the murderer because of that."

"So what delayed you?"

"I..." Chen Youcai hesitated for a long time, "I don't remember."

Liang Hongkai chuckled, "Mr. Chen, you won't cry until you see the coffin! The things in the box are all from the Qian family, and some are Miss Qian's personal belongings. How could a man like you have them? Moreover, we also found your paper fan, jade pendant and other things in Miss Qian's house. How dare you say that you and Miss Qian didn't have any private things?"

"No, I've said it many times, I have nothing to do with her." Chen Youcai kept shaking his head to deny it, but facts speak louder than words. Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, no one believed what he said.

How could I possibly have an affair with that arrogant, hypocritical, and disgusting woman?

Qin Miaoxi looked at him for a while, then whispered a few instructions to the captain of the police beside her. The captain nodded and left quietly.

Liang Hongkai had already lost his patience. "Since you won't tell me, come and torture me!"

Two yamen runners immediately stepped forward and pressed Chen Youcai to the ground. Before the water and fire sticks came into play, Chen Youcai let out a tragic howl.

"Ah! Die, die, die! You abused lynching and tortured me into confessing. I was wronged!"

The yamen runners who were about to take action were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and looked at the water and fire sticks in their hands in confusion. It seemed that they had not taken action yet!

Liang Hongkai's heart was so shocked by the shout that he almost died on the spot during the performance. He patted his chest for a long time before he came to his senses.

He glared fiercely at Chen Youcai, who was still howling like a ghost, and said in one word: "Beat him!"

"Spare his life."

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, several figures came from outside the hall against the light.

Chen Youcai took a closer look, and a smile of great joy suddenly appeared on his face. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Dad!"

The person who came was Chen Youcai’s biological father, Doctor Chen from the Imperial Hospital.

Doctor Chen stood in front of his son and said loudly, "Her Majesty, please decree that Chen Youcai enter the palace."

Liang Hongkai's eyelids twitched twice, and their eyes met, fierce flames collided in the air.

Old boy, are you trying to play this trick on me?

Qin Miaoxi leaned over to Liang Hongkai and whispered, "He's cursing you in his heart."

Liang Hongkai blew his beard and glared, and she didn't need to say that he could see it even if he was blind.

"Ahem! Imperial Physician Chen, the case isn't over yet. Isn't it inappropriate to bring Master Ling into the palace?"

Doctor Chen warned coldly, "Master Liang, are you planning to defy the Imperial Order?"

"I'm doing this out of consideration for you, Doctor Chen! What are your intentions in bringing someone who might be a murderer into the palace?"

"you……"

Doctor Chen was speechless and simply returned the question, "Since Lord Liang won't release the prisoner, let's go! Let's not delay Lord Liang from interrogating the prisoner."

Even though Liang Hongkai is over fifty years old, the emperor can't get rid of him. This guy is a peacemaker when things are fine, but when things are bad, he is really a troublemaker! The hateful thing is that no one removed him from his position in the Dali Temple, allowing him to do whatever he wants.

Only Chen Youcai didn't understand his father's tactic of retreating to advance, so he sobbed and shouted, "Dad! You can't just ignore your son!"

Liang Hongkai calmly winked at the yamen runners, and they immediately blocked Doctor Chen's way.

"Master Liang, what do you mean?"
