The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Upon hearing this, the guard subconsciously pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down restlessly, his eyes flickered with guilt and hesitation, but he remained silent as a cicada.

Shi Xinzhe's pupils shrank slightly, and his gaze swept across the crowd in front of him like a sharp blade. His face was covered with impatience that was hard to conceal. He warned again in a cold voice, "Since everything is normal, then go and knock on the door immediately. Otherwise, our Longyuan Nation will have sufficient reason to suspect that your Yanhuang Nation is planning something unspeakable."

He thought to himself that if the other party still refused to budge, he could just barge in. Even if the matter came to the Emperor, he could still stand his ground with his own reasons and evidence.

The guard was filled with reluctance, his legs feeling heavy as if they were filled with lead. He slowly moved to the door. When he raised his hand, it felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. He knocked lightly on the door and lowered his voice so low that it seemed as if he was talking to himself: "Your Highness, Lord Shi, the Jingzhao Yin, requests an audience."

Time seemed to stand still. For a long time, the house was dead silent, without a trace of movement.

The guard's heart suddenly hung in his throat. He repeated it twice, but all he got in response was endless silence. An uneasy feeling spread in his heart like a tide.

An ominous premonition hung over his heart like a dark cloud. The guard suddenly raised his voice, banging on the door and shouting, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Seeing that there was really no response, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forgive me for being so intrusive, but we are coming in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he broke open the door with a "bang".

The empty room was just as Qin Miaoxi had said, with no sign of the Second Prince.

The guard was horrified, his eyes widening, the color draining from his face in an instant, his voice trembling, "How could there be no one here? His Highness specifically instructed us not to disturb him before he entered the room."

Shi Xinzhe was also stunned, his brows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, and he subconsciously muttered, "Are you lying? The Second Prince is not in the room at all."

"No, the Second Prince is here, he wants to..." The guard spoke in a firm tone, trying to cheer himself up, but facing everyone's suspicious gazes, the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he became stammering and unable to speak.

Qin Miaoxi said coldly: "Well, he is planning to have fun with the guards around him."

The guard looked at her in shock, his eyes wide open as if they were about to bulge out, and he screamed wildly in his heart, how did she know such a private matter?

It was like being stripped naked, and a strong sense of shame surged in my heart.

Shi Xinzhe and others were also stunned by these remarks.

Although they had heard that there were homosexuals among the dignitaries, they did not expect that the second prince who came to marry was actually bisexual.

For a moment, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in my heart. I was surprised by the second prince's hobby, and I felt troubled by this sudden change.

"You...how dare you peek at our prince!" A hint of redness appeared on the guard's dark face. It turned out that this person was also the second prince's lover!

Qin Miaoxi was speechless for a moment, nearly nauseous. She mentally cursed the ridiculous accusation and demanded sharply, "Where's the person with him? The Second Prince disappeared with that person, and they might be in danger. At this point, are you still going to keep this a secret?"

The guard looked embarrassed and struggled for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he told the truth: "We left after he was dragged into the house by the Second Prince."

After saying this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He hurriedly added, "Master Shi, our second prince is missing in your Longyuan Kingdom. You must help us find the prince!"

Shi Xinzhe secretly complained in his heart: You think of looking for me now? What were you doing before! What a bunch of fools!

Yan Wanwan stared at the guard intently, and with the help of mind reading, she was sure that he was not lying.

But how could two living people disappear out of thin air?

She paced slowly in the room, looked around, and found a burnt incense burner beside the bed. The air was filled with the aroma of Hehuan Powder, which seemed to confirm what the guard said.

Just as Yan Wanwan was about to speak, Qin Miaoxi turned to look at the guard and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see the Second Prince leave?"

"determine."

Qin Miaoxi said with certainty: "The Second Prince was kidnapped."

"How did you tell that?" Shi Xinzhe frowned and glanced around the room. There was no sign of a fight and the bed was tidy, so it didn't look like there had been a dispute.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Qin Miaoxi had discovered something else?

Qin Miaoxi pointed to the ground. Shi Xinzhe looked in the direction she pointed and saw only scattered bits of incense ash on the ground.

"They kicked over the incense burner before they left, leaving this set of marks." Qin Miaoxi explained.

The guard's face was filled with suspicion. He thought, "Can we conclude that the prince was abducted based on just this little bit of incense ash? This is simply ridiculous!" He would rather believe that the second prince left the inn during the guard's shift.

Because once it is confirmed that the second prince has been abducted, all the guards will be to blame. When the regent arrives, he will definitely hold them accountable, and they will be in danger of losing their heads!

Qin Miaoxi sneered: "Who would leave without wearing shoes?"

Following her words, everyone's gaze fell to the bedside, where a pair of long boots embroidered with dark patterns lay quietly, revealing the wearer's noble status. They undoubtedly belonged to the Second Prince.

The guard's face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his legs began to tremble slightly. He thought to himself that he was in big trouble!

Shi Xinzhe shouted, "Go check the surroundings immediately to see if anyone has seen the Second Prince."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the guards quickly dispersed like a group of frightened birds and ran towards the surroundings of the inn.

Shi Xinzhe turned and looked at everyone in the room. His gaze lingered on Qin Miaoxi for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "There's something fishy about this. We need to search this room carefully. Maybe there are some clues we've missed."

However, they searched for a long time and found no other clues except the Hehuan Powder in the incense burner.

Just then, a guard rushed in in a panic, his voice trembling a little, "Master Shi, we found some messy footprints and wheel tracks near the back door of the inn. It looks like they were left by many people in a hurry."

Shi Xinzhe immediately exchanged glances with Qin Miaoxi and drove the man away, which would make it difficult to investigate.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Miaoxi said to Zi Yan, "Go to the Dali Temple immediately and bring Er Gouzi here."

Zi Yan didn't dare to delay, and immediately used her lightness skills to leave after responding.

But after a cup of tea, the sound of "woof woof woof" was heard outside the door.

Shi Xinzhe saw a big black dog rushing towards them like it was having fun. Before he could say "be careful", Qin Miaoxi hugged the big dog and rubbed it, "Oh my god, it's heavier again!"

The big dog barked a few times, as if in response.

Qin Miaoxi placed the incense burner on the nose of the big dog, stroking its body while commanding: "Er Gouzi, smell this smell and find the person who carries this smell."

The big dog twitched its nose, barked twice, and turned to run outside.

"Follow!"
