Facing Liang Hongkai's question, Qin Miaoxi also answered softly: "Chen Youcai, the son of Chen Taiyi, and Wen Shibin, the son of Wen Daxueshi, I suspect they are related to the murder case in the village outside the village."

Liang Hongkai shook his head repeatedly, very firm in his judgment, "Impossible, the murderer is the young marquis."

"Liang..."

Before she could finish her words, Liang Hongkai had already taken out an exquisite jade pendant. His calm gaze fell on Lu Qingchen like a sharp sword, and he slowly asked, "Young Marquis, do you remember this?"

Lu Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pursed his lips and fell silent.

"As far as I know, a month ago, Yunyin Pavilion auctioned off a piece of green jade at a high price, and the winner was you, young marquis."

The air instantly became quiet. After a long moment, Lu Qingchen asked, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

"We found three bodies outside the village, and this jade pendant was found on the bodies."

"Impossible. This piece of Qingyulan is a token of my cooperation with Miss Qian of the Qian family. It is impossible for it to appear on a corpse."

"So you know the Qian family."

Lu Qingchen swung his sleeves impatiently, "Nonsense, I've worked with Miss Qian, how could I not know her?"

Liang Hongkai raised his eyebrows at Qin Miaoxi with a smug smile on his face.

Qin Miaoxi took a deep breath and said sternly, "Young Marquis, the three people who died in the village outside the village were the three members of the Qian family."

She quietly looked at the three people in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze. A normal person would know that he was related to a murder case. Even if he pretended to be calm on the surface, there would definitely be waves of emotions in his heart. She could make judgments based on the other person's inner thoughts.

Although Liang Hongkai was certain that the murderer was Lu Qingchen, she felt that the murderer was someone else.

[The dead were members of the Qian family? How could this happen? I clearly killed...]

[The government thought the young marquis had committed murder. Haha! Well, Lu Qingchen, you have come to this day.]

When she suddenly heard her inner voice, Qin Miaoxi immediately became fully focused. She looked at Chen Youcai and Wen Shibin, thinking silently.

them……

Instead, Lu Qingchen's expression suddenly changed, and he said bluntly, "What does this have to do with me?"

Qin Miaoxi raised an unfathomable smile, "Because you are all murderers."

"what?"

Not only Lu Qingchen and the other two, but even Liang Hongkai were caught off guard by Qin Miaoxi's wild words, and hurriedly pulled her to the back hall.

"Xiao Qin, are you sure those three are the murderers?"

Qin Miaoxi shrugged stubbornly, "Not sure."

Liang Hongkai immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, a surge of anger rising to his head. "Do you know that one of them is a marquis, and the other two are the sons of ministers? You slander them without any evidence. You... you are hoping that I, an old man, will retire and return home early!"

I can handle one, but I can’t handle three. It’s fatal!

Qin Miaoxi patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Master Liang, how can we catch the murderer without making a small sacrifice? Don't you still believe me?"

I believe it, but... He subconsciously touched the back of his neck. Wouldn't this sacrifice be a bit of a headache?

When the two of them walked back to the lobby, in an instant, two murderous gazes that seemed to be real came towards them.

Chen Youcai: "Master Liang, what evidence do you have that we are the murderers?"

Wen Shibin: "Yes, without any evidence, it's pure slander. I will definitely inform my father and tell him how Lord Liang handled the case and apprehended the murderer."

Liang Hongkai's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly explained: "My two lords, I just asked you to come and inquire about the situation as usual."

"Let go..." Lu Qingchen was about to swear when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his wrist began to ache again.

Qin Miaoxi's cold gaze fell on him. Lu Qingchen took a big turn before blurting out the words in his throat, "Tell me in detail."

Liang Hongkai quickly cast a pleading look towards Qin Miaoxi, "Save me! Save me!"

Qin Miaoxi coughed twice and asked Chen Youcai and Wen Shibin, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Wen, where were you yesterday at twilight hour?"

The two looked at each other and said, "Let's recite poems and paint with the young marquis on the painted boat."

Lu Qingchen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they are with me, and the people on the pleasure boat can testify."

Liang Hongkai was a little dumbfounded. They performed an autopsy and confirmed that the three members of the Qian family were murdered at 5 p.m. yesterday. Doesn't that mean the young marquis has an alibi?

Qin Miaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the two of them dimly. "Do you know the three people from the Qian family?"

They both said in unison: "I don't know him."

Lu Qingchen looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said nothing.

"Then why do you, Master Chen, have a sachet made of fabric that belongs only to the Qian family?"
