The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 54: A long-planned murder plan

When Lu Qingchen arrived at the gate, he saw Tian Mao looking up at the plaque of the Tian Mansion with a deep look mixed with hatred.

He walked slowly to Tian Mao and asked, "You left, why did you come back?"

"Young Marquis, I'm waiting for you."

Tian Mao gave him a faint smile, with puzzling emotions in his eyes, including kindness, admiration, and worship.

Lu Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, the corners of his mouth tightened, and his heart became flustered.

【Did he know? 】

Qin Miaoxi looked at the two of them with suspicion and confusion. What were they talking about?

Lu Qingchen's mouth was bitter, and finally turned into a sentence: "Take the prisoner back to the yamen."

When Liang Hongkai saw them bringing Tian Mao back, he was overjoyed.

"Young Marquis is mighty, how did you catch him?"

He had even written a letter to the prefect next door, but he was caught. Happiness came too suddenly.

Lu Qingchen glanced at him expressionlessly, and even Qin Miaoxi silently shook her head at him behind her, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

Liang Hongkai looked up at the sky in silence. Sometimes he really wanted to ask: Who is the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple?

Back to the point, Liang Hongkai quickly began the trial in court. He solemnly asked, "Tian Mao, do you admit that you instructed Zhu Cui from Zuihualou to kill your nephew Tian Guangyuan?"

"My lord, I plead guilty."

"Tell the whole story clearly from beginning to end."

According to Tian Mao himself, he was an unappreciated illegitimate son of the Tian family. He didn't even know why he was always regarded as a thorn in the side by Old Lady Tian. Since he was a child, he wanted to separate from the family and start his own household after growing up and getting married.

But as his business grew bigger, the Tian family inhumanely detained his wife and children in order to keep this man who could make money for the family. They promised to let his family reunite and agree to split up as long as he managed the shop for the Tian family for five years.

For the sake of his wife and children, he worked day and night, went out to do business twice a month, and spent most of his time expanding the shop for the Tian family. He did not keep a penny of the gold and silver he earned, but gave it all to the Tian family, just because he wanted to reunite with them as soon as possible.

As the agreed day was finally approaching, he unexpectedly learned that his wife and children had attempted to escape while they were imprisoned, but died on the road because of the order of Mrs. Tian, ​​and their ashes were hidden in the old lady's Buddhist temple.

Speaking of this, Tian Mao's eyes were red and his fists were clenched. "Everything they eat, wear, and use is earned by me. I just want my wife and children to survive. Is that so difficult?"

Everyone present fell silent. The Tian family's actions were truly shameful, even...

Lu Qingchen looked at him with pity and asked, "So you killed Madam Tian's most beloved grandson?"

Tian Mao's eyes were filled with hatred. "Yes, I will not only kill him, but also make the Tian family extinct."

He gifted Tian Guangyuan and Lu Yingxue many gifts after their wedding. To outsiders, it looked like an uncle's love, but in reality, the combination of these gifts would prevent them from having children. Just like the gorgeous Daphne daphne, the scent of the flower for a long time can make it difficult for a person to conceive.

On the other hand, he continued to create misunderstandings between the two of them, causing Tian Guangyuan to become increasingly alienated from Lu Yingxue. He then allowed the bribed young men to talk to him, seducing him to fall in love with men and making him addicted to gambling.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he bought a large amount of goods for all the shops but did not pay for them, and then secretly sold the shops. It seemed that the shops were making a lot of money, but in fact, they had long ceased to belong to the Tian family.

Later, he bribed Zhu Cui from Zuihualou to seduce Tian Guangyuan, and he really took the bait. Then he gave Zhu Cui 50,000 taels of silver and asked her to find an opportunity to kill Tian Guangyuan. Tian Guangyuan died soon after.

Tian Mao smiled grimly, "If the Tian family won't let me live, then they won't be able to live either."

"What were you doing out of town this morning?"

Tian Mao suddenly revealed a gentle smile, "I want to take my wife and children out of the Tian family. They should not stay in such a filthy place as the Tian family even if they die."

He suddenly looked at Lu Qingchen, "Young Marquis, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Uncle San, please speak!"

Tian Mao didn't cry when he talked about the Tian family, nor did he cry when he talked about burying his wife and children. But now, because of his third uncle, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

He kowtowed heavily to Lu Qingchen and said, "After I die, please bury me with my wife and children. Thank you for your help."

"Uncle San, don't worry! I will."

Lu Qingchen solemnly promised that he could have lived a glorious life, but his life was ruined because of the blood on the hands of those bastards of the Tian family.

Qin Miaoxi suddenly stopped the two from stirring up trouble, "Wait! Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are not the murderer."

Lu Qingchen and the other two were stunned. Hadn't Tian Mao already confessed to the murder? Could this case, which had been concluded, still have a twist?

Qin Miaoxi asked coldly, "How do you know Zhu Cui is a man dressed as a woman?"

Tian Mao immediately replied: "I don't know."

Seeing everyone's confusion, he quickly explained, "He came here on his own."

At the beginning, Tian Guangyuan had a conflict with the person Tian Mao found. Tian Mao was afraid that Tian Guangyuan would like a woman again, so he was anxious to find a new person to replace him. It was at this time that Zhu Cui came to the house in person to seduce Tian Guangyuan.

"How does he know that Tian Guangyuan likes men?"

Tian Mao sneered, "This matter is not a secret in the Tian family. Only his wife doesn't know about it. The whole family is lying to her."

"Does the Tian family know everything?"

"Of course, otherwise why would the old woman be so anxious to kill my nephew's servant and bury him with him? Isn't it because she's afraid that he'll let the cat out of the bag?"

Tian Mao scoffed at this. "With Tian Guangyuan gone, the Tian family has no official. Only Lu Yingxue can be related to the Marquis' Mansion. If she is allowed to leave, the old woman will probably go crazy even faster."

Lu Qingcheng and the other two looked behind him blankly. It was Lu Yingxue.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: Is this woman a ghost? Why did she appear again?

Liang Hongkai hurriedly defended himself, "I have already ordered that Madam Tian not be allowed to enter the government office."

Qin Miaoxi saw her crawling out from under the table with her own eyes, and she felt terrible.

Lu Yingxue muttered to herself in despair, "So they all knew that the Tian family and I are irreconcilable."

After saying that, he rushed out like an arrow.

Tian Mao looked at her receding back with a smug smile on his face. He was naturally happy to see this result. It would be best if he could make that old witch angry to death so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Liang Hongkai pointedly said to Lu Qingchen: "Young Marquis, your aunt is really..."

Lu Qingchen's eyes turned cold instantly. This woman didn't listen to his words at all.

Qin Miaoxi coughed twice and asked, "Do you know how Zhu Cui killed Tian Guangyuan?"

Tian Mao shook his head and said, "I don't know, as long as Tian Guangyuan dies, it will be fine."

"Why did you want to see him when Zhu Cui was captured that day?"

"At that time, I had not yet recovered the ashes of my wife and children. I hoped he would not betray me."

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent.

Qin Miaoxi asked the last question, "Do you think Zhu Cui loves Tian Guangyuan?"

"Impossible." Tian Mao replied firmly: "He approached Tian Guangyuan with a purpose, how could he fall in love with him?"

Qin Miaoxi nodded, saluted Liang Hongkai and said, "Sir, there are still doubts in this case. Please take this person to the prison and wait for the next interrogation."

Liang Hongkai looked at her suspiciously. When she nodded, he ordered suspiciously, "Take him away and keep him under guard. No one is allowed to visit him."

Soon, Tian Mao was taken away.

Lu Qingchen curled his lips and said, "Tian Guangyuan, who had an ambiguous relationship with Zhu Cui, is dead. Pan Xun, who stuffed Zhu Cui into Zuihualou, is dead. Now even Zhu Cui is dead. The clues are so clear, it's like there's a hand controlling everything behind the scenes."

Qin Miaoxi looked over in surprise, "It turns out that the young marquis has the same opinion."

Liang Hongkai hurriedly interrupted the two, "What are you talking about? Isn't the murderer Tian Mao?"
