The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy
Chapter 44 Dushan Jade Crown
When the ship was launched, it did not sink to the bottom as everyone had imagined, but instead stayed steadily on the lake.
Lu Qingchen felt relieved, and when he saw Qin Miaoxi giving him a thumbs up in praise, his feeling of pride instantly reached its peak.
The boat was very big and went very fast, and it arrived at the center of the lake in a short while.
Qin Miaoxi looked around and said, "Tian Guangyuan's body was found nearby."
Several people followed her gaze towards the lake, and saw that the water was so clear that they could see the bottom, as if they could stand in it if they stepped in.
Under the lake is a white jade-like area, a wonder formed by the mixture of aquatic plants and sand. It looks shallow but is actually deep.
Lu Qingchen called two people over and ordered, "Go down and take a look."
"Yes."
The two men jumped into the lake, and the water quickly became turbid, and in an instant their figures could no longer be seen.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the two of them emerged from the water.
"Young Marquis, the water is too muddy and I can't see anything, but there's something down there."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen immediately took out the tools, tied a net bag to the top of a long bamboo pole, and ordered several servants to go down to the lake to salvage the fish.
Fine sand flowed out of the net bag, leaving behind sediments accumulated at the bottom of the lake, including teacups, hairpins, outer clothes, and silver.
The things were spread out on the deck, and Qin Miaoxi looked at them one by one. "These things are relatively old, and they are from a few years ago. They must have been accidentally dropped by people who were boating on the lake a few years ago."
Instead, Lu Qingchen became interested in the sand at the bottom of the lake. He took another pole, tied sackcloth on it and started to salvage the sand.
As the net was cast, the bamboo pole was bent and he stumbled towards the side of the boat.
"Master!"
Wen Zhu immediately stepped forward to hold him back, and called out to everyone around him, "Come and help."
They pulled on the bamboo pole and finally helped Lu Qingchen stabilize his body.
He leaned against the side of the boat, panting, and asked, "What kind of sand is this? Why is it so heavy? No wonder the water becomes clear after stirring it a bit."
His complaints received no response. When he looked up, he saw Qin Miaoxi staring at the lake with burning eyes.
She couldn't wait to command: "There is something there."
Several people began to salvage in the direction she pointed. After going in and out of the lake three times, they finally fished out an exquisitely crafted jade crown from the bottom of the lake.
Lu Qingchen exclaimed in amazement, "This is Dushan jade, known as the finest grade jadeite. This jade is as white as snow, translucent, and has a luster like mutton fat. It's the finest grade."
Qin Miaoxi pondered and said, "This jade crown is very valuable. It seems that the owner of the jade crown is a noble person."
"Yeah! I don't know who was so unlucky to drop this thing." Lu Qingchen was used to seeing precious jewels, but he still couldn't let go of this jade, which shows how precious it is.
"Young Marquis, please go and check the owner of this jade crown." She always felt that this jade crown was related to the Tian Guangyuan case.
Lu Qingchen patted his chest and assured, "This is easy, leave it to me."
Half a day later, Lu Qingchen returned with the results of his investigation. "We've found out that the owner of the jade crown is Pan Xun, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites."
"Panson?"
Liang Hongkai said in shock: "We are now suspecting Pan Xun."
"why?"
"Pan Xun once beat Tian Guangyuan. Tian Guangyuan didn't dare tell his family and secretly went to buy medicine for wounds."
Lu Qingchen was overjoyed. "It seems he is the murderer. I found out that the jade crown was made last year. It must have accidentally fallen into the lake when he was disposing of the body."
"Yes, the young marquis and I have the same idea. I will send someone to arrest him and bring him to justice. Let's talk it over."
The two of them walked out, hugging each other, leaving Qin Miaoxi stunned. "When did these two become so compatible?"
That day, Pan Xun was taken to the Dali Temple.
"Lord Liang, am I not here to cooperate with the investigation? There is no need to mobilize such a large force! Even the young marquis is here." Pan Xun stood stiffly, not looking down on the young marquis just because he was a playboy.
Lu Qingchen was very satisfied with his attitude and placed the jade crown in front of him, "Have you seen this thing?"
"This is my jade crown." Pan Xun picked it up in surprise. "Where did you find it?"
"Why don't you first tell me where you lost the jade crown."
"What does this have to do with you calling me here?"
"Don't worry! It has nothing to do with you, but don't put too much trouble on yourself. Think it over first."
"This is a family scandal that shouldn't be made public, but since you asked, I won't hide it." Pan Xun recalled, "The jade crown must have been stolen by a servant a few months ago. I didn't expect it to be recovered."
"How do you know it was a servant who stole it?"
Pan Xun said embarrassedly, "That servant is a habitual offender. I searched his room and found a lot of valuables. It turns out he's been stealing for years, and I caught him red-handed this time."
"And the servants?"
"That guy just refused to admit to stealing the jade crown. I have already handed him over to the Jingzhao Yin."
Qin Miaoxi and Lu Qingchen looked at each other and asked, "Where were you last night?"
"I sleep at home."
Seeing the three people looking at him silently, he became a little anxious, "I didn't lie, the servants in my house can testify for me."
Qin Miaoxi asked, "Why did you hit Tian Guangyuan?"
Pan Xun was shocked, "How do you know I beat him?"
Liang Hongkai smiled and said, "You said that when you were drunk."
Pan Xun slapped his lips in frustration. "Look at my mouth! I just have different opinions with Master Tian on poetry and prose, and I didn't expect that a fight would break out after just a few words. But he hit me too, so it's not like he'd have to come to the Dali Temple for this!"
Qin Miaoxi stared at him intently, "But that's not what you said when you were drunk. You said it was because Tian Guangyuan caught you in a trap and you wanted to report you to the emperor."
Pan Xun laughed out loud, "Haha! What people say when they're drunk is just nonsense, don't trust it!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Pan Xun refused to admit it, and they had no evidence to prove his suspicion.
"Sir Liang, Young Marquis, if there is nothing else, may I go? The Ministry of Rites still has a lot of things waiting for me."
Liang Hongkai pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, then, Master Pan, you can go back first!"
Lu Qingchen tried to stop him, but was stopped by Qin Miaoxi. He said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you let him go?"
"Young Marquis, we have no evidence!"
"Isn't the jade crown the evidence?"
"He also said that it was stolen by a servant, and we can't prove that he was the one who dropped the jade crown into Xiaoxiang Lake."
Lu Qingchen was furious. "Then I will go find the Jingzhao Yin right now and personally interrogate that servant to determine if he stole the jade crown."
"Young Marquis!" Liang Hongkai quickly pushed Qin Miaoxi, "Little Qin, follow and see."
Qin Miaoxi followed Lu Qingchen all the way to the Jingzhao Yin's yamen. Seeing his angry look, she sighed helplessly and said, "Young Marquis, remember to be impatient when investigating a case. You will easily overlook details."
"Am I anxious? No, I am not anxious at all."
Lu Qingchen raised a faint smile and walked steadily into the government office, shouting in a voice as loud as a bell: "Where is the Jingzhao Yin? Get out here!"
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
