The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi nodded in satisfaction at what Huang Bang said, "Well, go ahead!"

Huang Bang had a determined smile on his face. He looked up at Lu Qingchen and said meaningfully, "Young Marquis, see you next time."

Lu Qingchen clenched his teeth, but Zi Yan, who was standing beside him, could clearly hear the grinding sound of his teeth. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "My son-in-law is jealous... for nothing. It's not what he thought it was."

Qin Miaoxi's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. When she turned around, she saw Lu Qingchen staring at her with a wronged look on his face, as if he was a heartless man.

Are you jealous now?

"what are you doing?"

This was the first time Qin Miaoxi felt so guilty facing him, and she couldn't even explain the reason.

Lu Qingchen stared at her in a muffled voice, "How do you two know each other?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were erratic, and in Lu Qingchen's eyes, they looked like a guilty thief. "Did they really know each other behind my back? How dare Huang come after me? I'll kill him."

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi immediately explained: "No, we knew each other before you."

Lu Qingchen: "..."

This explanation was like a knife stabbing him in the heart. The only reason he didn't die was because his heart was in his throat.

"No, he and I are just ordinary acquaintances. We have no relationship and have never exchanged more than a few words." Qin Miaoxi wanted to tell him the reason, but she had no choice but to do so. Her little face was almost squeezed into a bun.

Lu Qingchen's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, and he came up with countless reasons. Finally, he said reluctantly, "Can you not meet in the future?"

Qin Miaoxi choked, but still couldn't say anything against her will, "I'll try my best."

Click!

It's the sound of heartbreak.

Seeing that Lu Qingchen was about to burst, Zi Yan quickly reminded her: "Miss, mung bean cake."

"Yes, this is for you. Isn't this your favorite?" Qin Miaoxi smiled awkwardly. She was not used to this situation at all. What was she angry about? Was it because she was talking to a man?

After receiving the hot mung bean cake, Lu Qingchen was immediately coaxed. He smiled happily at Qin Miaoxi and said, "Thank you, my wife!"

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This guy hadn't been able to take it anymore! How come he had become a completely different person after coming back from the poisoning? If he was still the narcissistic and showy guy he used to be, she could still handle him. But now he was so silly and cute, his eyes full of her, she couldn't handle him anymore!

At this moment, she didn't know that Lu Qingchen had changed his tactics and was going for the little puppy route.

"Let's go! I still have to go to the paper-making shop to work!" Lu Qingchen said it so smoothly that Qin Miaoxi felt a little guilty. She went there just to avoid some free time, not to work!

Just as they walked a hundred meters, they saw Liang Hongkai walking hurriedly past them.

Qin Miaoxi asked curiously, "Master Liang, aren't you taking a day off today? Where are you going?"

Liang Hongkai's eyes lit up when he saw her. "Mr. Qin, you've come just in time. We found a body struck by lightning in the north. Let's go take a look together!"

Qin Miaoxi was puzzled. Struck by lightning? There hadn't been any thunder recently!

"Who is the deceased?"

"The daughter of Lord Wang, the Minister of Works."

is her?

Qin Miaoxi immediately said seriously: "I'll go with you."

"I'll go too." Lu Qingchen followed closely. He hadn't participated in the investigation of the case for a long time, and he missed fighting side by side with Qin Miaoxi.

Liang Hongkai looked at him in surprise, "Young Marquis, when did you come back?"

Lu Qingchen: "..."

He was standing next to Qin Miaoxi. Couldn't this old man see that he was such a grown-up?

The four of them soon arrived at the North District, where there were many large courtyards, mostly residences of officials and merchants.

The body was found in Miss Wang's yard. According to Wang's maid, they called Miss to get up today, but found no trace of her in the room. When they came out of the house, they saw a charred human figure hanging on a tree branch. The human's face could no longer be seen, but from the ornaments on the body, they found that it was their own Miss.

As I walked into the courtyard, I heard Mrs. Wang crying bitterly, "My daughter! You died unjustly!"

Lord Wang was also extremely sad, but he suppressed his pain and dared not even look at his daughter's body.

People from the Dali Temple have arrived at the scene and started to check the surrounding environment. The body has been taken down from the tree and laid flat on the ground.

The head constable came forward and said, "Sir, this is Qin the Coroner! This is a woman. Her body is stiff. She must have been struck by lightning last night. However, her face is burnt black, so we can't determine her identity."

"This is my daughter, my daughter! Why did you leave? You made me, an old man, send off a young one. I can't bear it!" Mrs. Wang shouted loudly, and suddenly her head tilted and she fainted.

Lord Wang was anxious, "Madam!"

Qin Miaoxi immediately stepped forward to check her eyes and pulse, confirming that she still had a heartbeat. She comforted her, "Don't worry, Lord Wang. Madam just fainted from excessive grief. Have someone put her in a cool place to rest. She will recover soon."

Lord Wang nodded gratefully and personally carried Madam Wang to the side room to rest.

Qin Miaoxi turned around to check the body and found that Lu Qingchen was already squatting beside the body and looking at it.

"How was it? What did you see?"

Lu Qingchen shook his head and said, "I can't tell. The body is completely black. How can you tell if it was struck by lightning or burned by fire?"

Qin Miaoxi squatted beside him, grabbed the corpse's hand, wiped off the black ash on the surface, and explained: "A corpse killed by lightning will not only be completely black, but the skin color will also turn burnt yellow."

As she said, the skin of the corpse was indeed dark yellow, as if it had been roasted, and it was not a normal skin color.

"Secondly, the body's hands are spread apart, its mouth is slightly open, and there's no ash or carbon inside. Its eyeballs are also protruding." Qin Miaoxi paused and pointed behind the deceased's ear. "Most importantly, the deceased's entire body is covered with palm-sized patches of purple-red flaky skin, accompanied by rune-like burn marks."

Lu Qingchen discovered this kind of plaque on the deceased's arm. "It really looks like a rune. Is this the pattern of a lightning strike?"

Qin Miaoxi nodded and replied, "Yes, lightning passing through the human body will affect the blood vessels, thus forming tree branch-like lines. The purple-red color is due to blood stasis caused by damaged meridians in the body."

"I'm even more confused when you put it that way. Rigor mortis shows she wasn't dead long ago, but there hasn't been any thunder lately. How could she have been struck by lightning and ended up hanging from a tree branch?"

Not only was Lu Qingchen full of questions, but Qin Miaoxi was also unable to answer his questions for a while.

She continued to examine the body, but found no other clues except the scars caused by the lightning strike.

Maybe it was burnt, or maybe there were no clues at all.

"The cause of death has been determined. We should quickly identify the source of the corpse before conducting further investigations."

Qin Miaoxi stood up and asked, "Master Wang, how are you sure this is your daughter?"

Wang Chengen took a gold bracelet from the wrist of the corpse and said, "This is the gold bracelet my daughter wore. Who else could it be if not my daughter?"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. He never dreamed that his daughter would die from a lightning strike.

Lu Qingchen patted his shoulder with pity. This case was very bizarre.

Is it man-made? But humans are not gods, so how can there be thunder and lightning?

It was an accident, right? There's no way a body would have hung on a tree by itself, right?

It's really unbelievable!
