The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

There were occasional crackling sounds in the yard until the smoke cleared.

"Ahem! Is it safe?"

Lu Qingchen leaned over and looked behind him. The smoke dissipated and all he saw was a ruin. Even the remaining half of the wall had disappeared without a trace, which made him feel frightened.

Qin Miaoxi poked her head out of his arms and ran towards the pig excitedly.

The huge body of the pig was lying in the ruins, and the surface of the pig skin had been burnt black. When Qin Miaoxi brushed off the black ash on its body, bloodstains inside were soon revealed, spreading like tree branches.

Lu Qingchen followed closely behind, looking at the marks puzzledly and said, "This looks familiar, like... the deceased also had marks like this on his body."

Qin Miaoxi nodded, and then checked other parts of the deceased, which had the same injuries as the deceased.

"Sure enough, gunpowder can produce the same effect as lightning."

Lu Qingchen opened his mouth in shock. He didn't expect that she could even think of this. For a moment, he didn't know what words to use to praise her.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​artificial lightning?"

"I have to thank the princess for this." Qin Miaoxi smiled at Lu Shiya, "If the princess didn't know how to make gunpowder, I wouldn't have thought of this."

Lu Shiya coughed twice, brushing off the dust on her body, and looked calm and composed, like a sage. "I'm honored to be able to participate in the Dali Temple's investigation."

Lu Qingchen: "..."

Praise her, why is she out of breath?

Qin Miaoxi circled the dead pig twice. "The murderer's method of killing has been solved, but there is still a question."

Lu Qingchen's heart moved, "It's the sound of an explosion."

"Yes, the explosion was loud, but there was no such noise that night. How did the murderer do it?"

Lu Shiya held her chin in her hand and thought, "Maybe there are other ways?"

Qin Miaoxi nodded, she should think about it again.

"It takes time to uncover the murderer's methods. Would you like to see the latest information I've gathered?"

Lu Qingchen revealed the full results of her investigation as if presenting a treasure. Sheng Mingyuan came from a poor family and had only passed the imperial examination as a Juren, yet the Fan family had chosen him as their son-in-law. Although the Fan family had no children serving in the imperial court, they were renowned for their teaching and educating talents at the academy. Over the years, they had trained countless students who had become officials. As a result, Sheng Mingyuan was able to thrive in the officialdom. In just a few years, thanks to the Fan family's support, he was promoted to the rank of Third Grade, a higher rank than the top three in his previous career.

Sheng Mingyuan had no concubines, let alone mistresses, and was very considerate to his first wife, Fan. He was a recognized good husband, and outsiders all praised him. It was said that his superiors intended to promote him further, and he would be promoted to a third-rank official.

As for Fan, she was born into a scholarly family and was a quiet woman before she got married. She fell in love with Sheng Mingyuan at first sight, and after they got married, she became jealous of any woman who came into contact with Sheng Mingyuan.

According to the servants in their house, in recent years she has even tried to sabotage Sheng Mingyuan's relationships with men, resulting in Sheng Mingyuan rarely going out unless it is necessary for official business, and now he works at home.

Then there was Lord Wang, who had just moved to Jingzhao last year to take up an official position. Upon arrival, he sought refuge everywhere, but because he had few connections in Jingzhao and was only a fifth-rank official, no one welcomed him. Perhaps realizing he had nowhere to turn to, after a few months of busy work, he quieted down, no longer attending so many social events. He spent his days at home cultivating his character, letting everything take its course.

Miss Wang just came of age at the end of last year. She doesn't have many friends in Jingzhao and rarely goes out. She only occasionally attends banquets organized by some noble ladies. She has no outstanding special skills and is like a nobody among the noble ladies in Jingzhao.

I heard that she had a childhood sweetheart in her hometown, and the two families had discussed getting married. Since the Wang family came to Jingzhao, they have never mentioned this matter again. However, that family has already come to Beijing, and I believe the two families will meet.

When Lu Qingchen finished saying all this in one breath, he looked up and saw Qin Miaoxi staring at him intently.

He pretended to be calm and asked, "Ahem! What's wrong?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were full of admiration. "Young Marquis, I didn't realize you were quite capable. You were able to find such detailed information in such a short time. You even knew about a childhood sweetheart who was engaged to be married in her hometown."

Hearing this, Lu Qingchen secretly straightened his back and showed his most handsome side.

[Old people say: Men with careers are the most attractive. You little brat! I can't charm you.]

The filter in Qin Miaoxi's eyes was instantly broken. He was a nice person, so why did he just open his mouth?

"Then what route did you find out Miss Wang took? Who left the Wang family? Did they go to the Sheng family?"

Lu Qingchen's eyes lit up, and his face showed an expression of "I've been waiting for you to ask this question."

"Since this Marquis has taken action, of course I'll investigate thoroughly." He kept it a secret, arousing Qin Miaoxi's curiosity before revealing, "It's the Fan family."

"Fan?"

Lu Qingchen said with certainty: "Yes, Fan returned to her own home after leaving the Wang family."

This was strange. Why would Fan go to the Wang family so late at night? And considering the conflict between the Wang family and her at the palace banquet, they should not have met her.

"Are you sure?"

"of course."

"I want to see the person who gave you the information."

"I'm afraid that's inconvenient."

Lu Qingchen hesitated and rubbed his hands, not daring to tell the truth. "If I tell my wife that I went to find the thief who stole chickens and dogs in the city, will she look down on me?"

Qin Miaoxi suddenly realized that although the young marquis's methods were wild, as long as they were useful, it was fine. She was not a person who was bound by means.

"Where's Miss Wang?"

"She was not seen."

Qin Miaoxi said thoughtfully, "It seems that we need to invite Fan to discuss it in detail."

Lu Qingchen nodded repeatedly, turned to Lu Shiya and said, "Princess, please go to the Dali Temple later and tell Lord Liang about this matter."

Lu Shiya's eyelids twitched, and she asked, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

He pointed at the sun in the sky as if it was natural, "It's time to eat. Do you want my wife to starve?"

Being stared at by him with the green tea look of "You are too ignorant", Lu Shiya stiffened her fist and said, "Okay, young marquis, I will remember it!"

After saying that, she said hello to Qin Miaoxi and left without looking back, no matter how Qin Miaoxi invited her to have dinner together.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You've pissed everyone off."

"The princess is leaving us some time to be alone together. How sensible!"

"you……"

Lu Qingchen said with disdain: "If you ask me, the princess should find a man to marry!"

"That woman has been confined to her own place since she got married. Let's see why she still comes to play with my wife."

Qin Miaoxi complained in her heart: What vicious words!

Here, Lu Shiya, who walked out of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, suddenly felt a chill on her back. Which bastard is targeting this princess again?

"Ahem!" Lu Qingchen blinked innocently, "I've had someone prepare your favorite meals at Yunyin Pavilion. Don't you want to eat?"

Qin Miaoxi gritted her teeth and said, "Eat!"

When she saw the table full of her favorite dishes, most of the anger in her heart disappeared, and she immersed herself in the joy of enjoying the food.

"Wife, try this, it's delicious!"

As he spoke, the food on the plate in front of him piled up into a small mountain, visibly.

Qin Miaoxi stared at him coldly: "Young Marquis, don't talk while eating or sleeping."

Lu Qingchen's pupils suddenly widened, and he covered his pounding heart in disbelief. [My wife wants to sleep with him!?]

"Cough cough!"

Qin Miaoxi was immediately choked by his earth-shattering and soul-stirring words.

"What did you say!?"

Lu Qingchen looked at me with an expression that he couldn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "I didn't say anything!"

Qin Miaoxi's face flushed red as she warned fiercely, "Yes, you didn't say it, and you can't even think about it."

Lu Qingchen smiled cynically and leaned over suddenly. "Wife, you don't really know what I'm thinking, do you?"

Qin Miaoxi nodded immediately and hummed, "What nonsense are you talking about! Eat your meal."

She was so flustered that she didn't notice Lu Qingchen's meaningful smile. Her wife was becoming more and more interesting.
