The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi glanced at the Ren family residence behind her with a half-smile, "It's nothing, I just gave them a little surprise."

A dark glint flashed in Lu Qingchen's eyes. He affectionately tapped her forehead and said softly, "You've been naughty again."

Qin Miaoxi was startled by his intimate actions and froze. When she looked up, she met Wen Zhu and Zi Yan's teasing gazes and immediately poked back angrily.

"You're asking for a beating, kid. You stop right there!"

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Wen Zhu sighed, "Madam and son-in-law have such a good relationship."

Ziyan forced a stiff smile and said, "The young master spoils the young lady so much!"

Wen Zhu got goosebumps all over: "Zi Yan! If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to."

A sharp gaze fell upon him, and an icy voice slowly entered his ears, "If you can't use your mouth, you can sew it up."

Wen Zhu: “…”

As expected, like mother, like daughter; they never let anyone tell the truth.

After the four left the Ren residence, two groups of people quietly sneaked in and searched for something amidst the chaos.

Master Ren flew into a rage, and loud banging noises could be heard from his study from time to time.

"What are you all doing? So many people were patrolling several key ice cellars, and you couldn't even keep an eye on one of the doors?"

The patrolmen all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. The leader stepped forward and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Sir, we did indeed patrol these areas as you requested, and we even left two people outside the ice cellar to observe from the shadows."

After saying that, he called out to the two men guarding outside the ice cellar, "Have you seen anyone enter the ice cellar?"

The two men were terrified by the entrails and bones on the ground. They exchanged a glance and knelt on the ground, trembling as they replied, "Master, we have been guarding it the whole time. No one has ever entered the ice cellar."

boom!

The teacup slammed into their heads with a whoosh, shattering instantly. As shards flew, blood gushed from their foreheads.

Master Ren said angrily, "No, where did these things come from?"

The two men stammered and couldn't answer. Enraged, Master Ren stepped forward and kicked them both. They screamed in pain and rolled several times on the ground.

"Sir, please spare us! We really didn't leave."

A familiar smell wafted from the two of them, and Master Ren's face darkened considerably. "You didn't leave, so why do you smell like barbecue?"

The two men panicked and scrambled to their knees at Master Ren's feet, begging for mercy. The leader, enraged, grabbed a stick and lashed it at them, yelling, "You two good-for-nothings, you can't even handle this simple task!"

Master Ren gave a stern order: "Drag the two of them out and deal with them."

"Sir, please spare us! We'll never dare to do it again!"

However, the two were quickly gagged and dragged out, and everyone knew what the outcome would be.

"Sir, now that these have been discovered, shall we deal with the rest?"

"No need. You keep a close eye on things tonight and see who dares to act arrogantly in my residence."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely arrest all those who trespassed into the Ren residence and feed them to the dogs."

Master Ren snorted coldly and stormed off.

After they left, the mansion immediately launched a comprehensive operation to find the traces left by those people and to find those who were opposing the Ren family.

Unbeknownst to anyone in the mansion, in the pitch-black night, a figure stealthily left the Ren residence and headed towards a wide street and narrow alley.

"Boss, should we arrest him and interrogate him thoroughly?"

"Go along and see, but don't alert them."

In just one day, Lu Qingchen's barbecue became famous, attracting merchants from neighboring prefectures who traveled long distances to try it.

The restaurant was quickly packed with diners, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

"Shopkeeper!" Lu Qingchen complained with a troubled expression, "There's too little meat. This isn't enough for a day at all. Shopkeeper, do you have any other ways to buy more meat?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, his eyes filled with greed. "Yes, of course! Leave this to me, you can focus on grilling the meat."

He was delighted and, with a wave of his hand, increased their wages by one tael of silver. With Lu Qingchen's expert skill in grilling meat, he wasn't worried that their shop wouldn't be able to revive—or rather, thrive.

Qin Miaoxi clicked her tongue twice, "If the young marquis encounters difficulties in the future, he can make a living with this skill."

Lu Qingchen shook his head seriously, "No, I need to be supported by my wife."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

How could he have the audacity to say such a thing?

"Stop talking nonsense, we have important things to do."

"That's true. This matter is too simple, yet strangely pervasive."

"No matter how strange it is, we can only follow their path, but in the end, it is still unknown who will take the initiative."

Ziyan and Wenzhu listened blankly to the two exchanging cryptic remarks. This matter wasn't going smoothly either! They had spent a lot of manpower and resources but still hadn't found anything.

Fifteen minutes later, the purchasing manager rushed over. "Brother, I've contacted the merchant. We'll be buying three thousand catties of pork from him this time to ensure we have enough for the next few days."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Qin Miaoxi secretly gave Ziyan a wink, signaling to the people in the shadows that they could take action.

Three thousand catties of meat is at least the weight of twenty people. If the merchants use those infected people, as long as we look at where the merchants get the goods, we can definitely find out where they hide the corpses.

In the same place, the vendors were no longer as relaxed as before.

"Brother! You want so much meat at once, where am I supposed to get it for you!"

The manager sighed, "I have no choice. Those pork vendors can't possibly have as many sources of pork as you. Who else can I turn to if not you?"

"But I have no choice!" The vendor frowned in distress, took out a money bag from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Please help me, otherwise I really won't be able to explain to the shopkeeper."

The vendor squeezed his money pouch, and the worry on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a fawning smile. "Oh my! Brother, what are you saying? You're one of my regular customers, so I can help you with this little thing, but you'll need to give me some time to prepare."

"how long?"

"Two hours, no, one hour is enough."

"Okay, I'll come to pick up the goods in an hour."

The vendor handed him the deposit, and the two left one after the other.

The shadowy figure moved through the trees, closely following the vendor, and finally arrived at a deserted Taoist temple.

The vendor quickly looked around before slipping into the Taoist temple.

He went straight to the dilapidated statue in the corner, pressed his finger in a hidden spot, and a stone door slid open silently beneath the statue, immediately followed by a series of banging sounds from inside.

Without hesitation, he stepped inside, and the stone door closed behind him, the sound fading away.

The next instant, a dark figure appeared in front of the statue. He raised his hand to the sky, and a red signal flare whistled as it pierced the sky. Following the vendor's method, he opened the stone door again and disappeared inside.

Qin Miaoxi looked up at the sky, "Found it."
