The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Inside the Tian Mansion, the servants were busy working in scattered groups, and they looked far less energetic than when I first came.

Qin Miaoxi and the other arrived at Tian Guangyuan's study. Lu Qingchen asked in confusion, "What are you looking for?"

"Find evidence that Pan Xun stole the exam questions."

"He's already dead, what's the point of finding him?"

"Of course it's useful. Since he was able to successfully steal the exam questions, there must be buyers. Those buyers are enough reason to kill."

Lu Qingchen suddenly realized, "So you are suspicious of them."

Qin Miaoxi nodded. "This is the only person who can be linked to both Tian Guangyuan and Pan Xun. No matter which of them reports it, the career of the person who bought the exam questions will probably end here. Then all his efforts to buy the exam questions and get promoted will be in vain."

So she felt that the murderer who killed the two people was the same person, and his motives were different.

Lu Qingchen nodded in agreement. This was indeed the case. At the moment, they seemed to be the most suspicious. Unfortunately, they found nothing in Tian Guangyuan's study.

"That guy is a coward. Could he have destroyed the evidence?"

Qin Miaoxi disagreed. "Although that was a sharp weapon used to identify Pan Xun, any sharp weapon is a double-edged sword. Keeping it could also serve as a shield to protect Tian Guangyuan, preventing Pan Xun from making any rash moves. He wouldn't destroy it so easily."

"But we didn't find him in the study. With his timid nature, where else could he hide?"

Qin Miaoxi did not comment on this. Based on Tian Guangyuan's interpersonal relationships, she was the first to exclude his wife Lu Yingxue. He must have also concealed something from other people in the family, otherwise he would not have gone to buy the golden medicine alone.

"Is it placed outside?"

Before she knew it, she had uttered the last sentence.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen immediately went to the door to check, "There's nothing outside, just some flowers and plants."

Qin Miaoxi was stunned for a moment, "That's not what I meant, it's..."

Suddenly, she stopped.

There was a fresh, pine-scented aroma in the air, and a chilling feeling lingered for a long time.

She glanced at the flowers planted outside the door. It wasn't the scent they were giving off, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where does this pine-like scent come from?"

Lu Qingchen sniffed the air and found the wooden box by the window. The smell came from the money bag stored inside.

Qin Miaoxi looked at the purse and blurted out, "This is exactly the same purse that Tian Guangyuan was carrying when he died."

Lu Qingchen hummed twice, "This is his purse, so it should be the same. It's just that the embroidery is a bit rough, and it looks a bit messy."

Qin Miaoxi was lost in thought, holding the purse as something flashed through her mind so quickly that she had no idea what was going on.

Just as they were about to go to Pan's house to investigate again, they saw the servants moving more than a dozen pots of genkwa, with purple-red stamens that were gorgeous and eye-catching.

She stopped one of them and asked, "These flowers are growing well, why are you moving them?"

"The Third Master said that the flowers in the Young Madam's yard are too bright now that the Young Madam is gone. They need to be replaced with more elegant ones to prevent the Young Madam from being moved by the bright flowers."

Lu Qingchen sighed, "Third Uncle is really thoughtful and meticulous. He even thought of this."

The next moment, Qin Miaoxi met his eyes with a courteous smile on her face, "Young Marquis!"

Lu Qingchen took a step back awkwardly. She was abnormal, very abnormal. Why did she suddenly smile at him so "weirdly"?

He covered his chest with his hands, alert but also a little excited, staring at her with his deep eyes and asked, "Woman, what are you going to do?"

His actions immediately aroused the curiosity of the servants in the Tian residence. They slowed down their movements in moving the flowers, and their eyes revealed a gossipy taste as they kept looking at the two of them.

Qin Miaoxi rubbed her brows with a headache, "Young Marquis..."

"If you insist, I can do it."

After saying this, he was still shy and shy, with an awe-inspiring look as if he was devoting himself to a righteous cause.

Everyone's shocked gazes lingered on the two of them. What a shocking news! The young marquis and this woman...?

Qin Miaoxi was struck by lightning, but she heard a voice in her ears that sounded reckless.

[Hasn't this woman already confessed her love to me? Why is she still looking like she's seen a ghost? She's being reserved! Absolutely reserved.]

Tathagata Buddha, Infinite Holy Buddha...

What a bullshit! Buddha can go away now. Kill that foul-mouthed guy. At most he will pay with his life. I will be a good woman again in eighteen years.

Seeing that Qin Miaoxi's anger was about to erupt, Lu Qingchen stamped her feet shyly, nodded, and actually took out a stack of banknotes thicker than her palm from her arms, and said hesitantly: "Woman, you and I should be honest with each other."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly called out in her heart: Tongzi, get out here quickly.

System: [Xiao Xixi, have you found the murderer?]

Qin Miaoxi: Let’s not talk about this for now. There is a sum of money in front of me now. If I accept it, will I give away the fate of the God of Wealth because it has passed through my hands?

System: [There is a fifty percent chance...]

Before she finished listening to the words, Qin Miaoxi's eyes were burning with fire, and her rising anger value was instantly halved.

She snatched the banknotes and smiled flatteringly at Lu Qingchen, "Young Marquis, I will be honest with you. I will tell you everything I know. If you ask me to walk the dog, I will never walk the chicken."

This period of flattery lasted for a whole cup of tea. Qin Miaoxi was so thirsty from talking that Lu Qingchen felt so ecstatic that he laughed in a lewd way.

Finally, he added, "Well said, I love to hear it! Please say more."

Instantly, Lu Qingchen felt a chill on his neck. When he opened his eyes, he met Qin Miaoxi's stern gaze. He swallowed subconsciously and quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk business."

"The banknote?"

"They are all yours, why should we separate them?"

It is not known whether Qin Miaoxi understood the double meaning of his words, but she was extremely ashamed and angry when she was surrounded by the servants of the Tian family.

She quickly pulled Lu Qingchen aside and asked in a low voice, "You are very familiar with Tian Mao, right?"

Lu Qingchen's consciousness was still on the slender little hand pulling his sleeve. He didn't understand what she said at all and nodded reflexively.

"Then go check him out."

The man finally regained his remaining consciousness and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Tian Mao."

Lu Qingchen couldn't hide his emotions and immediately exclaimed, "You suspect...?"

Qin Miaoxi quickly covered his mouth and glared at him, saying, "Don't alert the enemy."

Lu Qingchen nodded. Although she couldn't figure out what was so suspicious about Tian Mao, she still did as she was told.

Before the two of them could reach Pan's house, they were called back by the people sent out to investigate.

"Your Excellency, after investigation, we found that the two men were acquainted by Lord Pan while drinking. Their portraits have been posted at the city gate to search for them."

Liang Hongkai put down the document in his hand and said, "Okay, then where did Tian Mao go after he left home at night?"

"We found out. A night watchman saw him go to Zuihualou that night."

Lu Qingchen immediately stood up and denied it, "Impossible, I've already asked, Tian Guangyuan didn't have a lover in Zuihualou."

The yamen runner's expression changed twice, and he stammered, "Master Tian certainly didn't go to Zuihualou to look for a woman. He went to look for a man."

?

Listen, is this human talk?

Lu Qingchen shouted in disbelief: "You mean he doesn't have children and doesn't sleep with others because he likes men?"
