The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

When Qin Miaoxi and the other two arrived at the mourning hall, they saw Steward Shen and the servants guarding the door. Inside, two coffins were placed in the center, and Madam Wang was worshipping alone inside.

"My lord, you have arrived."

"Is Miss Wang's body also inside?"

Butler Shen nodded. "I didn't expect the Ghost-Faced Judge to be so powerful. Even with so many people protecting him, he still managed to attack Miss without her noticing. Sirs, you must capture him as soon as possible to prevent him from harming anyone else."

Lu Qingchen was about to correct him when Qin Miaoxi stopped her, saying calmly, "We have tracked down his whereabouts and will soon be able to bring him to justice."

Butler Shen was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled with delight, “That’s wonderful, then Master and Miss can rest in peace.”

Qin Miaoxi nodded thoughtfully and softly called out, "Butler Shen!"

"what?"

"You injured your leg?"

Butler Shen looked down at his trembling legs, pressed one hand on his knee, and looked up with a wry smile, explaining, "It's an old problem; it hurts whenever it's rainy."

Qin Miaoxi pressed on, standing in front of him and offering her services, "I see you're in a lot of pain, and I happen to know some medical skills, so why don't I take a look at you?"

Butler Shen took a step back without hesitation, his face full of gratitude as he refused: "Thank you for your understanding, sir, but it's alright. I'll just go back and take some medicine."

"But……"

The next moment, her arm was grabbed, and Lu Qingchen stared at her with a forced smile. "Wife, Butler Shen said it's not necessary, so we can't force him! Don't you think so?"

The words were addressed to Qin Miaoxi, but her sharp gaze was directed at Butler Shen, as if to say: This is my wife, get lost!

Steward Shen smiled kindly and asked the two men, "I have official business to attend to. Please make yourselves at home, gentlemen."

Lu Qingchen nodded in satisfaction. [This guy's got some sense. As long as he stays away from my wife in the future, I won't bother with him.]

Qin Miaoxi rubbed her tight temples. Who on earth is so clueless?

Just then, out of the corner of my eye swept across both sides and landed on a group of fully armed guards with knives hanging from their waists.

"these are?"

"They are the bodyguards brought by the lady to protect her safety."

Lu Qingchen scoffed at this and walked through the crowd one by one. Suddenly, he stopped in front of someone, stood firmly, and locked his gaze on the other person with piercing eyes.

"How many years have you been with Madam Wang?"

The man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he answered truthfully, "I have been following Madam and protecting her for three years."

Seeing his plausible answer, Lu Qingchen gave a knowing sneer, "Fine, fine! Three years ago~"

He then stood in front of another man and asked the same question, to which the man immediately replied, "I started protecting the lady a year ago."

Lu Qingchen didn't say anything, but the sarcasm in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Qin Miaoxi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lu Qingchen leaned slightly closer and whispered in her ear, "This is very suspicious. The two of them smell of Madam Wang's perfume. Could it be that these so-called guards are all Madam Wang's lovers?"

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but glance at them a few more times, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with their explanation.

"Someone come here!"

At that moment, a scream suddenly came from inside the room from Madam Wang.

Qin Miaoxi narrowed her eyes and pushed through the crowd to rush in. What she saw was Madam Wang lying unconscious in a pool of blood.

"Madam!" The guards rushed forward to help her up, but Qin Miaoxi's shout stopped them in their tracks.

"Get out of the way! Nobody is allowed to come near!"

Before the words were even finished, a cold glint had already appeared.

Several golden needles flew from his palm, tracing swift parabolic arcs before precisely piercing the acupoints on Madam Wang's forehead.

In the blink of an eye, the once lustrous gold needle turned completely black. At the same time, streaks of black blood began to seep from Madam Wang's mouth and nose, slowly dripping down her lips.

Fingertips gripped the pulse point tightly, the pressure unconsciously increasing as if trying to hold onto the faint beat with that little bit of strength.

But it was all in vain. The faint pulse gradually dissipated until it stopped completely. Finally, even the remaining warmth on her wrist slowly faded from her palm, leaving only a cold feeling.

"She...is dead!"

Everyone was shocked; no one expected that Madam Wang would die from poisoning.

Lu Qingchen and Liang Hongkai exchanged a glance and shouted to everyone present, "No one is allowed to leave!"

The guards protested indignantly, "Why can't we leave? What does the lady's poisoning have to do with us?"

"That's right, we didn't get close to Madam, you saw that!"

"Could it be that you can't catch the real culprit, so you're just arresting someone and convicting them?"

The rebuttals grew stronger, and some even drew their swords against each other.

"What are you hiding? Did you poison Madam Wang?"

Qin Miaoxi flicked her fingertips, and several blackened gold needles fell back into her palm. When she looked up, her gaze was as cold as if covered with frost, and she coldly swept over everyone present.

In an instant, a cacophony of voices filled my ears.

"Bullshit! How could we possibly poison that old hag? She still owes us wages!"

That old woman's got a tight skin; I can't bear to part with her.

[Damn it, I need to get out of here quickly. If the authorities really notice me, I'll be walking right into a trap!]

On the surface, they all appear respectable, but their hearts are filthy and vulgar. Among them are even notorious bandits. Madam Wang really dares to use just anyone.

Lu Qingchen clicked his tongue and said, "Look at this, this is what men are like. When they have money, they call their wives 'madam,' but when the person is gone, all feelings fall apart, and they don't care who the murderer is at all."

Qin Miaoxi helplessly pushed away the large face in front of her: "Young Marquis, I have to remind you, you are a man too."

“I’m different from them. I’m loyal to you, my wife, in body and soul.”

"Don't talk to me, I have a headache."

Lu Qingchen exclaimed in surprise, "Wife, are you finally getting a brain?"

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

Her clenched fists betrayed her current mood. Please don't try to be funny at such a serious moment; she really might hit you.

“Everyone present was questioned one by one, and they also investigated what Madam Wang ate today, who she had contacted, and asked her about everything, big and small.”

She took a deep breath and pointed at several guards, saying, "Come in with me, I will interrogate you personally."

When they saw that the woman in front of them was beautiful, their words of dissatisfaction and provocation vanished instantly. They outwardly agreed, but the smiles in their eyes concealed ill intentions.

Qin Miaoxi knew what they were thinking, of course, but these were fugitives that the government had been watching for a long time, and her task was to send them to where they belonged.

"and many more!"

Lu Qingchen called out to them, smiling as she intercepted the question, "Let me handle the interrogation!"

"you……"

Qin Miaoxi had barely uttered a single word when they were taken away by Lu Qingchen, along with the increasingly absurd sounds that faded into the distance.

My wife wants to flirt with other men in front of me? No way! Not even a window.

Haha! Even Wuyu's mother wouldn't open the door for him if he encountered the young marquis.
