The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

After a busy night and guarding, Qin Miaoxi carefully checked Fu Yifan's body the next morning.

Although his face was still pale, his pulse was stable, the toxins had been basically eliminated, and he was recovering quite well.

She breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of relief in her eyes.

Zi Yan stood aside expressionlessly, with a hint of heartache in her eyes: "Miss, you have been guarding all night, go and have a rest!"

Qin Miaoxi rubbed her brows tiredly, her voice a little hoarse: "It's okay, I took a nap in the middle, I'm not tired."

Zi Yan did not try to persuade her any further, because she knew her young lady's temperament very well. Once she made up her mind, she would never change it easily.

She turned around silently, brought the ginseng soup and food that had been prepared long ago, and gently placed them on the table: "Miss, please eat something first."

"Ah."

Qin Miaoxi casually ate a few mouthfuls, but her brows were still furrowed. She said, "Big Brother is in this state now. There is no way he can send Xuelian."

Although the Tianshan Snow Lotus was stored in a brocade box to prevent its medicinal properties from leaking out, this wasn't a long-term solution. If it wasn't used quickly, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and by then, it would be useless to Senior Sister.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan immediately stepped forward and said firmly, "Miss, I'll go see you off! My martial arts skills are quite good, and I often travel between Kunlun Mountain and Jingzhao, so I'm familiar with the route."

However, Qin Miaoxi shook her head, her expression solemn: "No, the Poison King might set an ambush on the road and take back the snow lotus. He is good at using poison, you can't deal with him."

"Then...what should we do?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were firm, and she said without hesitation, "I'll go back myself. I know more about poisons, and if I really encounter one, I can stop it."

Now that she had made the decision, she didn't hesitate and immediately told Zi Yan, "Go get ready. I'll leave right away."

Zi Yan left in response, while Qin Miaoxi turned to look at the still unconscious Fu Yifan and whispered softly, "Big Brother, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the snow lotus to my sister safely."

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried over to report, "Madam, the Dali Temple has sent a message asking you to go to Shanhai Tower as soon as possible. Another... another person has died."

Qin Miaoxi's expression froze as she looked at Zi Yan walking towards her. She only said, "I'll go check on the scene and be back soon. Take good care of Senior Brother."

"Yes, miss!"

Qin Miaoxi hurried out of the Marquis' Mansion and headed straight for Shanhai Tower.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Liang Hongkai jogging towards me, beads of sweat hanging on his forehead, and he looked anxious: "Xiao Qin! Something happened!"

Qin Miaoxi frowned slightly, her tone calm but with a hint of coldness: "I know, Nie Kangshun is missing."

Liang Hongkai slapped his forehead and shook his head quickly: "No, it's even worse now. He...he's dead."

Qin Miaoxi paused, stopped where she was, and glared at Liang Hongkai with a dagger-like gaze: "Dead? How did he die?"

Liang Hongkai opened his mouth, a look of embarrassment and awkwardness appeared on his face, as if he found it difficult to talk about the cause of Nie Kangshun's death.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally just sighed: "Well...well, you should go and see for yourself."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes darkened and her tone was cold: "Then where did he die?"

Before Liang Hongkai could answer, she turned around and walked quickly forward.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly chased after him: "Hey! I haven't said anything yet!"

"I know. It's in Mirror Lake."

"Then wait for me!"

The two men mounted their horses, whipped their horses, and galloped towards Mirror Lake at full speed.

At this moment, by the Mirror Lake, there was the same pavilion, the same wine jug, but a different corpse. The corpse was Nie Kangshun.

Qin Miaoxi frowned and asked, "How did he die?"

The constable murmured, "Drowning."

??

Qin Miaoxi stepped forward and directly pulled down the deceased's underwear.

Liang Hongkai, who arrived just after her, saw this scene as soon as he got close. He almost stumbled and fell back. He cautiously reminded: "Xiao Qin! Can you be more elegant?"

"What's wrong with my movements?"

"Like a female bandit..."

Liang Hongkai was glared into silence, and the aunt was about to start again.

Qin Miaoxi smelled the dead man's lips and the wine jug, and then with that glance, she was certain that Nie Kangshun died in the same way as Yan Xiao.

"Dead from exhaustion."

She looked up at Liang Hongkai and asked, "Isn't there someone guarding Nie Kangshun? Why is he here?"

Liang Hongkai was so nervous after being stared at that, he turned around and scolded the constable, "I wanted to ask you this question too. What's going on? You can't even keep an eye on one person?"

He turned to Qin Miaoxi and smiled foolishly, "I'm criticizing them."

That look seemed to be saying, after being mean to them, you can’t be mean to me anymore!

Qin Miaoxi glanced at Liang Hongkai coldly and ignored his interruption. "Brother Captain, please tell me what happened last night."

The captain said slowly, "After you left yesterday, we took Nie Kangshun back to his guest room. Xiao Li was watching him from inside, Fatty and Falcon were guarding outside the door, and I stayed in the lobby."

"Third-level guard?" Qin Miaoxi murmured to herself, "You continue."

"We delivered him a meal at 12:00 p.m. He was practicing calligraphy or reading, nothing unusual. He spent a quarter of an hour eating, and then he went to the bathroom and went back to sleep." The constable paused. "But Xiao Li fell asleep in the room afterwards, so we don't know when Nie Kangshun left."

After listening to the captain's narration, Qin Miaoxi frowned even more tightly.

The captain lowered his head, his voice a little weak: "Last night was indeed a bit strange. Xiao Li is always alert, but for some reason, he slept so soundly last night that he didn't even know when Nie Kangshun left."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes flashed with a sharp light when she heard this: "Sleeping so soundly? Was there anything unusual about what you ate and drank last night?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, we ate the food provided by Shanhailou, just like usual."

"What about Fatty and Falcon? Aren't they guarding the door? Didn't they hear anything?"

"No, the three of us only took turns using the restroom once that night. The rest of the time we were staring at the guest room door, absolutely sure no one came out."

Liang Hongkai's eyes lit up, "Then Nie Kangshun must have escaped through the window or somewhere else."

The captain nodded repeatedly, "Yes, when we entered the room, we found that the window was open. We believe he jumped out of the window and left."

Qin Miaoxi remained silent. Zi Yan had said that Nie Kangshun was good at fighting and it was not impossible for him to jump from the second floor.

Liang Hongkai asked in confusion: "Why did he want to go out?"

"Because I want to meet the woman who actually killed Yan Xiao."

Seeing Qin Miaoxi's confident expression, Liang Hongkai asked curiously, "How do you know it's a woman?"

Qin Miaoxi rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Would you drink wine containing pills with a man?"

"No, absolutely not." Liang Hongkai subconsciously covered his chest. Whenever he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Seeing Qin Miaoxi's contemptuous eyes, Liang Hongkai pursed his lips in grievance. He had been the Dali Temple Minister for so many years, how could he not know this? But a woman could push a man into the water and drown him? Even if the man was drunk, he was still strong enough.

Qin Miaoxi turned and walked over to Nie Kangshun's body, muttering to herself, "During yesterday's interrogation, Nie Kangshun admitted that he knew Yan Xiao would die. He even wrote the note and created a false impression because he knew this, just to put the blame on Ge Shu and eliminate two powerful opponents in one fell swoop. I originally kept him alive to lure out the real culprit, but I didn't expect the murderer to kill him as well. Or was the real culprit's original target these two?"

Liang Hongkai: When did Nie Kangshun admit it?

Captain: Don’t worry!

"Who wants to kill them? They just arrived in Jingzhao and don't have any enemies. Who hates them so much and uses such an undignified method?" Liang Hongkai was very upset about the way the two died. No man could tolerate such a cowardly death.

"Just because Jingzhao doesn't have enemies doesn't mean his hometown doesn't have any. Isn't there a living classmate? Just ask and you'll find out."
