The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chen Youcai took a deep breath, his eyes slightly red as he pleaded, "Master Liang, please sentence me as you see fit. I only ask one thing of you. Please bury Miao Xiang's body properly. I have let her down."

Qin Miaoxi felt as if there was a breath stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down, making her feel uncomfortable.

It's like if he killed someone, and just burying the person properly would be considered an apology. This man is not only a scumbag, but also not a human being.

Liang Hongkai had a cold face, but finally nodded and said "OK".

At this time, the yamen runners who were sent out to look for the body also returned.

Yamen runner: "Sir Liang, a female corpse was indeed found in a ditch outside the village. She died the evening before yesterday. She was stabbed to death."

As he spoke, he carried the body up.

Liang Hongkai lifted the white cloth, revealing a female corpse that had begun to rot.

"Mr. Chen, look, is this Miaoxiang?"

Chen Youcai only took one look and couldn't stop the tears from flowing down. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's Miao Xiang."

Liang Hongkai was very satisfied with his cooperation. The murderer confessed to the whole process of the crime, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Sir Liang, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye!" In just half an hour, Doctor Chen seemed to have aged by ten years, and his voice became weak. He didn't even look at his own son who was kneeling on the ground, and was about to leave the yamen.

Qin Miaoxi called out to him, "Doctor Chen, you haven't told me how to make me disappear yet! Why are you leaving now?"

Doctor Chen looked back in surprise, and saw a half-smile on her face. She continued, "And who is that little bitch you're talking about? Could it be the maid your son killed?"

The astonishment on Doctor Chen's face was instantly replaced by fear. "I don't understand what you mean."

Qin Miaoxi curled her lips indifferently, "If you don't understand, then you don't understand! But you must understand what your son just said!"

Liang Hongkai responded with an undiminished smile, "Yes! Doctor Chen, shouldn't you explain what Master Chen said about you forcing him to kill someone?"

Doctor Chen subconsciously glanced at his son and replied calmly, "He's just talking nonsense out of nervousness. Don't trust him."

"If you can't even trust the words of the parties involved, then what else can you trust?"

Doctor Chen stared at him fiercely. "Even if I forced you to do this, what can you do? Did I kill him? Are you interrogating me like a criminal?"

Qin Miaoxi chuckled, "Doctor Chen, don't be too nervous. Lord Liang didn't mean that. It's just that your son hasn't confessed to the murder of the three members of the Qian family. Since you are involved in this case, you naturally can't leave."

"What does it have to do with the Qian family?"

Doctor Chen looked at everyone suspiciously, feeling helpless as if things were completely out of control.

Liang Hongkai kindly explained, "The three members of the Qian family also died in a village outside the village. They died at the same time that Master Chen killed and disposed of the bodies. Master Chen also had a grudge against Miss Qian, so he not only had a reason to kill, but also a time to commit the crime. Do you think it was Master Ling who killed them?"

Doctor Chen was immediately horrified and yelled at Chen Youcai, "You unfilial son, why don't you tell the truth?"

[How many people did this bastard kill behind my back? ]

Chen Youcai said with grievance: "Dad, I've already said it, I only killed Miao Xiang, I didn't kill the Qian family!"

Qin Miaoxi was thoughtful. Could it be that the Chen father and son really had nothing to do with the murder of the three members of the Qian family?

Although Liang Hongkai remained silent, he saw their every move.

When he thought of the real cause of death of the Qian family, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever bought aconite?"

"Aconitum?"

Chen Youcai muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "It was the young marquis who bought the aconite. The person you are looking for is the young marquis. He is the murderer."

Liang Hongkai looked at the captain blankly. The captain quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, we have checked all the herbal medicine stores in the city, and the only one who recently purchased aconite is the young marquis."

At that moment, it was as if time had frozen. Qin Miaoxi's eyes widened in astonishment. "How could this be?"

Liang Hongkai glared at the captain of the police with displeasure. Why didn't you tell him such an important thing earlier? Don't you have a mouth?

"Who is calling me Lord?"

A resounding voice came from the doorway, and Lu Qingchen walked in with high spirits. He glanced at the Chen imperial physician and his son, then walked straight towards Qin Miaoxi, handed her a prescription, and said, "I've already found out what you asked me to investigate. Rong Sheng's mother bought medicine to treat her heart disease, and Rong Sheng has never bought any medicine."

Then, he smiled frivolously and whispered in her ear, "I also found out something unexpected: Miss Qian's maid bought a prescription containing safflower just half a month ago."

Qin Miaoxi's pupils shrank instantly. Had she had a miscarriage?

Safflower is generally used for dyeing cloth and making rouge. In addition, it has medicinal uses such as promoting blood circulation, relieving menstruation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain. However, when combined with other medicinal ingredients in the prescription, it becomes an abortion drug.

This makes sense. Miss Qian's body was injured due to the miscarriage, so she could not give birth to a child for Rong Sheng, so she asked her maid to seduce Rong Sheng.

Unfortunately, the body was stuck on a stalagmite at the time, making it impossible to determine whether Miss Qian was pregnant or had a miscarriage, which caused them to miss an important clue.

But how could the timing be such a coincidence, they all happened half a month ago, could there be any connection between these things?

After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Doctor Chen and his son, "Did Chen Youcai plead guilty?"

Doctor Chen suddenly interrupted him, "Young Marquis, Aconitum is highly poisonous. Why did you buy it? Is it because you want to use it to kill the three members of the Qian family?"

Lu Qingchen was so angry that he laughed. "Ridiculous! Although Aconitum is poisonous, it can be used to calm and numb people if the dosage is controlled. I've been injured before, so what's wrong with using some Aconitum? Do you think this will make you throw dirty water on me?"

"If I were to tell you the truth, you are the real murderers of the Qian family. Don't think I don't know. The Qian family has raised the price of southern medicinal herbs, and your Chen family has always been dissatisfied with this. You even threatened that if the Qian family didn't restore the original price, you would shut down the Qian family in Jingzhao."

As Lu Qingchen spoke more and more, Doctor Chen was like an ant on a hot pan, jumping around anxiously. "Young Marquis! Please be careful with your words. The Chen family has never threatened the people."

Lu Qingchen raised his head proudly, "Humph! Do you think this Marquis will believe you?"

While the two were arguing, Qin Miaoxi had already come to Chen Youcai and asked, "Did Miaoxiang ever tell you that the Qian family has any enemies?"

Chen Youcai said sarcastically with disdain: "The one who hates the Qian family the most is their good son-in-law Rongsheng."

This answer was beyond Qin Miaoxi's expectations. "Why do you say that?"

"That woman was a fickle woman. She initially wanted to marry into a wealthy family by relying on her beauty, but she was toyed with and abandoned. That's when she found that down-and-out scholar. Under the pretext of treating his mother's illness, she got him to marry into the Qian family and become a live-in son-in-law. Only that fool would think he was lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman, but in fact he was just going to be a scapegoat. The woman was already pregnant with someone else, and he was still foolish enough to drink and chat happily with the adulterer, treating him as a confidant."

What Chen Youcai was talking about was a secret that they had been investigating for many days but had not been able to find out. Qin Miaoxi's heart skipped a beat, as if she had grasped an invisible thread, and as long as she followed the thread and unraveled it, she would be able to find out the truth.

"Rong Sheng is dead."

For some reason, Qin Miaoxi subconsciously told this matter, always feeling that Chen Youcai would give her a different surprise.

Chen Youcai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he smiled bewilderingly, "I know who the murderer is."

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him. Liang Hongkai rubbed his hands nervously and stared at him intently, as if he would get an exciting answer in the next moment.

"Who do you think the murderer is?"
