The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

"What are you here for?"

Lu Shiya and Lu Qingchen's eyes suddenly met in the air, but in an instant they turned their heads away with a bit of disgust.

"Stay away from Xiao Xixi!"

"Stay away from my wife!"

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

Is this still Princess Xinglan who once loved the young marquis?

"Wife~"

Lu Qingchen rushed to the other side of Qin Miaoxi with a hoarse voice, almost becoming a pendant hanging on her arm, and whispered mysteriously in her ear, "I tell you..."

Just as she was speaking, Qin Miaoxi was quickly pulled to her side by Lu Shiya. "There is nothing to hide. Young Marquis, just speak directly. Don't drag and tug in the street. It's unsightly."

Lu Qingchen was so angry that he laughed, "I, am an eyesore!?"

"That's right, even if Xiao Xixi is your wife, your behavior should follow the rules of etiquette." Lu Shiya smiled softly at Qin Miaoxi, "Xiao Xixi, don't you agree?"

Qin Miaoxi was instantly attracted by her smile and nodded blankly, "Yes, Shi Ya is right."

Lu Shiya cast a provocative look, as if to say: Did you see that? Xiao Xixi likes me the most.

Lu Qingchen gritted his teeth secretly. How could he not know that this princess was so eloquent and shamelessly used her beauty to almost coax her into becoming a placenta?

"Young Marquis, why are you silent? Don't you want to talk?"

Qin Miaoxi turned and looked at him with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Of course not." Lu Qingchen gritted his teeth and smiled, "This is all due to the peach blossom debt caused by Princess Xinglan."

"Is the young marquis making a personal attack?"

"I am speaking the truth. You are not unaware that the young master of Minister Li's family admires you, are you?"

"Who is that?"

Lu Qingchen: "..."

He shook his head helplessly. Speaking of that Young Master Li, he was a well-known figure in Jingzhao. He studied at the Imperial Academy, and was not only quick-witted and talented, but also widely considered a top candidate for the next imperial examination. Many daughters of prominent officials were in love with him, and even the Third Princess had her eye on him, waiting for him to pass the imperial examination and become her consort.

But after he passed the imperial examination, he rejected Princess Shang and said in court that he already had someone he liked, Princess Xinglan, so the matter of him being a prince consort came to nothing.

After hearing this, Lu Shiya was still confused. "Why don't I remember this?"

Lu Qingchen curled his lips, [Because you were chasing me at that time! ]

Qin Miaoxi's face darkened. "Are you very proud?"

"No, absolutely not, I won't do that even if I'm beaten to death."

Important things must be said three times. Lu Qingchen denied it with a strong desire to survive, but was confused in an instant.

How does my wife know what I am thinking?

Qin Miaoxi looked away guiltily, and then she heard: [My wife and I are indeed in tune with each other.]

She exhaled lightly and pretended to be calm, changing the subject, "Because of this incident, the Third Princess regards Shi Ya as a thorn in her side?"

"Of course, there was more than just this one incident. Later, the Third Princess fell in love with two young talents. Who knew that they both admired the Princess? This is why the Third Princess hated the Princess to the core."

Lu Shiya sneered disdainfully, "Because of men, the Third Princess remains as superficial as ever."

At first I didn't know the reason and I felt confused. Now I know the reason and I think Chunchun is sick. As a princess, she actually devotes herself to a man. Didn't she understand in the palace that dodder flowers that depend on men never have a good ending?

"Princess Xinglan is still so cold-hearted."

Lu Shiya retorted unyieldingly, "That's better than the young marquis wandering the streets doing nothing all day."

"Why am I just wandering around? I came here specifically to look for my wife."

Lu Qingchen took Qin Miaoxi's hand and declared his sovereignty. A smile instantly blossomed on his face. "Two more bodies were found where the girl's remains were found."

"I know. Shiya and I found the body together."

The smile on Lu Qingchen's face froze, and he said reluctantly, "When did you two go?"

[Wow, my wife went to investigate the case without me. I should have known not to go with her to the autopsy.]

"That's not important. Tell me what the Ministry of Justice found out."

"No clothing was found in the grave, leading to suspicion that the body had been moved there. The killer likely chose this spot to bury the body because he was very familiar with it, knowing that few people would come and the remains would be difficult to find. Therefore, the Ministry of Justice has decided to visit surrounding villages to search for the missing girl, hoping to quickly identify the deceased."

Qin Miaoxi agreed that everyone has his or her own safe zone, and this range depends on the area where the person lives.

"All five victims were eight-year-old children. The Ministry of Justice has combined the two skeleton discoveries into a serial homicide case. Based on the time of death between the two skeletons, it's speculated that the murderer won't remain silent for long and will strike again."

For a moment, it was as if a heavy rock suddenly pressed down on the hearts of the three people. No one spoke, and the air became silent.

After a long while, Qin Miaoxi took a deep breath and asked, "Have you found the child who discovered the body?"

"They found it. They insisted that they saw a ghost there. Later, someone dug up human bones there, so they concluded that there was a dead person on the hill."

"Since human bones have been discovered, why hasn't anyone dug them up?"

"The children dug it up and didn't tell the adults because they were scared."

Qin Miaoxi frowned and pondered. The reason sounded reasonable, but children could not lie, but they could talk nonsense, so their words could not be fully trusted.

"Did they describe the ghost they saw?"

"As they say, a few kids went to catch cicadas at night and heard a female ghost screaming and a ghostly figure flashing on the small hill."

"Ghost? What kind of ghost?"

"According to them, they were all terrified and ran away without seeing anything."

Lu Shiya frowned and said, "That may not be a ghost, it may be the murderer."

"Whether it is or not, there is no way to know now."

Qin Miaoxi hurried away, "I'm going to the Ministry of Justice, you guys go back first!"

Lu Qingchen and Lu Shiya looked at each other and said in unison: "I'll go with you."

When the three arrived at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Shao Kun was interrogating the families of the three deceased.

"Your Excellency is wronging us! We know nothing. It was that damned child who ran away on his own."

"Yes! Sir, why are you asking us instead of investigating the murderer?"

"Quiet!"

Shao Kun slammed the gavel and glared at them, saying, "We've already found the buyer who gave you the money. It's clear that you sold the child."

Several people suddenly fell silent, lowering their heads in horror. Some were even shaking like sieves, and it was obvious whether they were guilty or not.

"You might as well confess the truth now!"

Following his shout, several people kowtowed repeatedly in fear, "Sir, please spare our lives. We...we only sold them, we didn't kill them."

"Yes! We signed a contract to sell ourselves. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with us."

"A few girls who lost money can be sold for three hundred taels. We can't earn that much in our lifetime. Let's just consider it as their filial piety."

Their cold-bloodedness and greed once again pushed everyone to the limit. Qin Miaoxi strode into the hall, stood before them, and asked coldly, "What does the buyer look like?"

"long……"
