The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Lu Qingchen shook his head in disbelief, "How is that possible? That's Rong Sheng!"

Liang Hongkai, who rarely stood up to him, said without hesitation, "Impossible! His body is in the stable. How could he not be dead?"

"Even if you saw it with your own eyes, it might not be the truth." Qin Miaoxi said with a hint of meaning, "We believe the body is Rong Sheng because of the clothes and accessories he was wearing, but his face was destroyed, so there's no way to prove it's Rong Sheng."

"But the rotten corpse was moved from the Li family cemetery, and the Qian family requested that the body be buried there. Even the iron coffin was custom-made by the Qian family." Lu Qingchen stopped talking halfway, as if he thought of something.

Qin Miaoxi nodded, confirming his suspicions, and then continued, "Because of this, we preconceived that the body was Rong Sheng. However, we never truly considered that even if we were certain that the body buried there was the same person as the decomposed corpse found in the cave, we couldn't conclude that it was Rong Sheng. Perhaps it was someone else from the beginning."

Liang Hongkai looked at the two of them, pointed at the body's broken leg and said, "Stop, stop, stop. Take a closer look at this body. Although his leg has been broken by the murderer and it's hard to tell whether he was injured before, you can't deny that this is Rong Sheng!"

"His broken leg was so badly shattered that it was impossible to tell if he had been injured before, but his hand was."

Qin Miaoxi turned the corpse's palm over and said, "He used both hands to block the loom, and he was lying on the bed unable to move his hands. That thing was heavy, and the violent impact must have left healing marks. Although it wasn't obvious at the time, you can see the clues in the bones."

Liang Hongkai looked at her in a daze. Several people came to the corpse again. Qin Miaoxi quickly cleaned the rotten flesh on the wrist of the corpse, revealing the intact bones inside.

"The body's hand bones show no signs of fracture, so it's not Rong Sheng."

Lu Qingchen and Liang Hongkai looked at each other, almost in unison, "Then who is he?"

Qin Miaoxi said with a serious expression: "It's Miss Qian's adulterer, General Xuande's son, Han Wei."

"Impossible! If General Han's son disappeared, the capital would be in turmoil."

Liang Hongkai felt sweaty for no apparent reason. He knew best what the Korean Wave was. To put it nicely, it was called protecting one's own people; to put it bluntly, it was called a gang of hooligans with no bottom line.

It would be extremely difficult to make him suffer any loss. As long as it was someone he was protecting, even the emperor would not act rashly.

Lu Qingchen clicked his tongue twice, "Master Liang, you're exaggerating!"

Liang Hongkai immediately blew his beard and glared, "Who is exaggerating? Do you know who Han Liu's direct superior is? It's Qinglong, one of the four imperial guards."

Lu Qingchen was speechless for a moment. The Longyuan Kingdom had been plagued by wars since its founding. The second emperor was licentious and immoral after he ascended the throne. There had been wars on the border for years. The barbarians were unstoppable and had captured six cities in a row. The great country was about to be destroyed.

At this moment, an old man holding the late emperor's will, summoned the four great imperial guards, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, to guard the four directions. They turned the tide, saved the court from danger, and recaptured the city in just one month.

After that, the emperor was dismissed by the four imperial guards, and Zhu Qiyuan, who was still a prince at the time, was chosen from among the princes to succeed him, with the reign title of Emperor Meiji.

But after the court stabilized, the four imperial guards disappeared. Except for the emperor himself, no one knew the true identities of the four imperial guards, let alone how powerful they were. However, whenever there were corrupt officials or criminals, their crimes would be completely placed on the emperor's dragon table, followed by confiscation of property and exile.

He really didn't expect that Korean Wave was related to Qinglong, one of the four imperial guards. No wonder the emperor had to show him some courtesy.

Qin Miaoxi said seriously, "Sir, I went to visit General Xuande this time because he personally told me that his son Han Wei was missing."

"How is that possible? Then why is there no movement at the General's Mansion?"

Liang Hongkai shook his head with a splitting headache, unable to think of any reason that would make Han Liu swallow his anger and disregard his son's life.

"General Han's son is 21 years old and disappeared ten days ago. At first, he thought Han Wei was just out having a good time, but after asking his friends, no one had seen him. Even the places he usually went to were nowhere to be found. He was afraid his opponents would know about his son's disappearance, so he sent people to investigate secretly. As a result, no one outside knew about this news."

Lu Qingchen's inquiring gaze instantly fell on Qin Miaoxi's face, his eyes full of curiosity and questioning.

"That's not right. General Han has always been arrogant. This time, not only did he not kick the woman out, but he also told her these private matters?"

Her heart was shocked, and before she could say anything, she heard his inner voice continue to ring.

[Well, for this Lord, she truly... I will definitely repay her well.]

Qin Miaoxi's mind suddenly flooded with the image of herself being submerged in gold, silver and jewels. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up, and she let out a silly laugh. For the first time, she found that this silly marquis was so adorable.

"Mr. Qin?"

She finally woke up from her reverie and quickly coughed twice to change the subject. "Now the age and time of death of the fourth corpse match. Rong Sheng's motive for murder is also very clear. It's because Han Wei was Miss Qian's adulterer. Otherwise, why would there be so many signs of abuse on the body? Doesn't that prove it all?"

Liang Hongkai gulped down a cup of tea and sorted out his thoughts. "So what you're saying is that Rong Sheng killed Han Wei and the three members of the Qian family?"

Qin Miaoxi was about to nod when Lu Qingchen interrupted her and asked, "According to what you said, I actually think that General Xuande would kill the three members of the Qian family out of hatred."

"It's not him." Qin Miaoxi said firmly.

"Why are you so sure?"

"His people are still out there looking for Han Wei's whereabouts, and he also suspects that the three members of the Qian family were killed by his son, so it couldn't be him."

Lu Qingchen pondered and asked, "Even if the murderer is Rong Sheng, how can we find him?"

Liang Hongkai nodded in agreement, "Yes! If he had escaped to a remote area after such a long time, it would have been very difficult for us to find him."

Qin Miaoxi nodded in thought, "Perhaps the distant relatives of the Qian family will be a breakthrough."

The three of them looked at each other, and in just a moment, they understood each other.

An hour later, all the distant relatives of the Qian family were brought to the yamen.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?" A dozen people were pushed in by the yamen runners, and the hall became noisy in an instant.

Liang Hongkai slammed the gavel tirelessly, "Silence!"

Intimidated by the yamen runners' water and fire sticks, these people finally shut up.

Liang Hongkai said in an unfathomable tone, "I asked you to come here. I'm sure you all know why!"

The Qian family members looked at each other, with panic expressions on their faces.

"Sir, we will never dare to cause trouble in the government office again. Please forgive us this time!"

"Oh? This... is difficult to handle!"

He made a pretentious "hmm" sound, and the moment this sound came out, the hearts of those people were instantly in suspense.

One of the old ladies was unhappy and started beating the woman next to her, crying and yelling, "It's all your fault, you unlucky star. I said I didn't want the body, but you insisted on sending Hong'er to the government office to cause trouble. Now I'll let Hong'er divorce you, you stupid woman."

The woman cried breathlessly and kept begging for mercy from her mother-in-law, but the whole family hated her at this time and no one stood up to plead for her. Even her husband turned a blind eye to her embarrassment.

But when he looked up, he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him, and the wolf howling stopped abruptly.

"Sir..." She lowered her head tremblingly, not daring to look them in the eye.

The others also noticed the three people's "wolf-like and tiger-like" gazes, and they all shut their mouths and acted like quiet quails.

"Why do you want the bodies of the three members of the Qian family?"
