The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Lu Qingchen walked around the village, asking about the people who guarded the village back then, intentionally or unintentionally, but the young villagers didn't know, and the old ones kept silent to him, with hesitant looks as if they had something to hide.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he sat down under a big tree to rest. Suddenly, someone sat down next to him. It was the old woman who had seen them off that day.

"Young man, why are you here?"

"I walked around the village and I'm so tired."

The old woman laughed cheerfully, "Fengshui Village may not seem big, but it's quite a distance if you really want to walk there!"

"Yes, everyone is busy killing ants in the fields now, and there is not a single person in the village."

"Eliminate ants?" She looked puzzled. "What ants?"

"Don't you know? The leaf-cutter ants beneath the Earth Temple have already crawled into the farmland. Don't you need to go there?"

The old woman looked puzzled and chuckled, "No, the crops in the fields have been harvested, there's no need to work."

"That's great. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble we would have been in because of those ants."

"Young man, what are you doing wandering around the village? Are you looking for someone? I, an old woman, am fine. I can show you the way."

Lu Qingchen smiled gratefully and said, "I'm not looking for someone, I just want to inquire about someone."

"Who is it?" the old woman said confidently, "I know everyone in this village."

"That's great, Auntie. I want to ask you about someone who used to be the village guardian."

"Village guard?"

The old woman said in confusion: "There is no village guard in the village!"

"Not now, but more than ten years ago. Didn't you say there was a village guard more than ten years ago? His house was right outside the village, the abandoned one."

"Oh! You're talking about him!"

The old woman's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up to leave. "He has nothing to say."

Lu Qingchen hurriedly stopped the person, "Auntie, do you know something? Just tell me about his situation!"

The old woman looked at him and sighed deeply. "That man! He's just a fool. As far as I know, his family was poor when he was young. One time, he had a fever all over his body. Because he had no money to treat the disease, he ended up being burned and became a fool. Everyone else went out to work, but he was so stupid and foolish that he could only stay in the village to guard it."

"I heard he died. How did he die?"

The old woman murmured, "He starved to death."

"Ah? How could he starve to death?"

"That person was so stupid that he couldn't tell when he was hungry and he couldn't grow vegetables. In the end, he starved to death at home."

"He was also buried in the back village?"

"No, the villagers thought he was unlucky and buried him outside the village." The old woman sighed, "Poor man, he was only a teenager when he died. He never had enough to eat during his lifetime, and he will become a wandering ghost after his death."

"It's totally outrageous. Life in Fengshui Village wasn't that bad a dozen years ago, and no one was looking after it. Yet, people were allowed to starve to death."

If it were during the poor years in Fengshui Village, one could understand that it was not easy for every household there, but at that time, even if a family gave someone a bite to eat, it would not allow them to starve to death. The warmth and coldness of human nature became concrete at this moment.

"Yes! Who says it isn't?"

Seeing Lu Qingchen's suspicious look, the old woman explained, "I wasn't in the village back then, otherwise I would have given that child a bite to eat. It's a sin!"

"Auntie, you are a good person."

The old woman smiled faintly and said nothing. She stood up and said nothing, but her hunched body seemed to say it all, and she was inexplicably sad.

Lu Qingchen thought to himself: After this case is over, he will definitely find a way to help these poor villages.

"Master, after comparing, those bones are from the moat skeleton."

Wen Zhu came running over in a hurry, with a group of people following him. Not only were there people from the Dali Temple, but also people from the Ministry of Justice who claimed to be too busy to investigate the case.

Lu Qingchen pulled him aside and asked the people from the Ministry of Justice, "What's going on with them?"

Wen Zhu shrugged, "It's all their damn desire to win."

? ?

It turned out that after Lu Qingchen and the others left the Ministry of Justice, the competition between the two sides did not end. In order to avenge its previous shame, the Ministry of Justice actually sent out a team to compete with the Dali Temple, and its methods were extremely shameless and despicable.

Whenever the Dali Temple was involved in an investigation, they would follow, and every time they would find out the results before the Dali Temple. After several times, the people from the Dali Temple were embarrassed, and the two sides got into a fight.

When Wen Zhu went to the Ministry of Justice to check the bones, he didn't know how the Dali Temple got the news, but as soon as they heard about it, they followed him to Fengshui Village to report, which led to the current outcome.

Lu Qingchen: "..."

Childish, who started this boring battle for the title of King of Rolls?

"Now that we've confirmed the source of the skeleton, everyone should disperse and investigate the villagers one by one. Don't leave any behind."

In an instant, the gazes of the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice met in mid-air, as if there were real sparks flying everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

"action!"

Both parties rushed towards the village at lightning speed, leaving Lu Qingchen stunned. "Are they really not going there to fight?"

Wen Zhu shook his head, then nodded, and made an objective assessment with a serious face: "The two sides are evenly matched. Even if they fight, they will be evenly matched and neither will die."

Lu Qingchen: "..."

Is this a question of life or death?

Solve the case, they are investigating!

Wen Zhu felt a cold gaze and immediately said, "With Master and Madam on this case, we will definitely be able to catch the murderer in one fell swoop."

Lu Qingchen's mouth immediately stretched to his ears, and he slapped him on the shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Zhu covered his shoulder helplessly, nearly suffering internal injuries from being beaten. He asked what love was in the world, which made people want to live and die, but why did he have to be the one to die?

In order to cooperate with the investigation, all the villagers were quickly gathered together.

The village chief was anxious and uneasy. "Brother officer, our village is suffering from an insect plague and we're waiting for them to be eradicated! Could you please let us eradicate the insects first, and then we can cooperate with your investigation?"

"Yes! If those ants eat the food, we won't have anything to eat for the whole year."

Everyone pleaded anxiously, saying that if they delayed for a moment longer, the losses would increase several times, and they could not afford the risk.

Both sides felt sympathy. Lu Qingchen, the highest-ranking official, looked at him and asked, "Young Marquis, what do you think?"

"It won't take too much time. As long as we catch the murderer, we'll naturally find a way to eliminate the leaf-cutter ants in the fields."

The villagers looked at each other, and more people looked at the village chief.

The village chief stood up under everyone's gaze and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qin Miaoxi met his gaze, her eyes suddenly becoming sharper, "What do I mean? Doesn't the village chief know?"

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, she sneered, "You are his good partner in this conspiracy!"
