"Miss Qian was pierced by a stalagmite and died of excessive blood loss. Madam Qian's vertebrae were broken by a stalagmite, causing the vertebrae to pierce her lungs and suffocate her. Mr. Qian's vitals were cut, and his gallbladder must have burst, frightening him to death."

Lu Qingchen's face was filled with a smug smile, which made Qin Miaoxi's mouth twitch.

Qin Miaoxi tried to keep a smile and said, "On the surface, the three people died because of violence, but in fact, they died of poisoning."

"How could it be poisoning?"

Lu Qingchen didn't believe it. How could he not die from such serious injuries?

"The lips and fingernails of the three deceased individuals had turned bluish purple over the past two hours. Their internal organs were eroded and bleeding, and their brains were also swollen and bleeding. Therefore, they died from the aconite poison."

Qin Miaoxi: "Aconitum is highly toxic and not found in ordinary clinics. We have already used this line to check the list of people who purchased it."

Lu Qingchen's expression changed again and again. [How could it be Aconitum? The mansion just bought a batch of Aconitum.]

He asked himself, "It's impossible that the murderer has already caught three people and can just kill them directly. Why would he poison them?"

Qin Miaoxi looked at him deeply and said, "You should ask the murderer. Our mission is to find the murderer."

"So... the words above were also left by the murderer?" Lu Qingchen pointed to the bloody words "Marquis Xuanping killed me" on the stone wall above.

Qin Miaoxi remained silent because these few words made Lord Liang firmly believe that he was the murderer.

Lu Qingchen stared at the bloody words with his eyes wide open. "It's a false accusation. The murderer left these words to frame me just to create confusion."

"Well, that's a possibility." Qin Miaoxi nodded in agreement. After all, how could the murderer write his true identity on the wall so openly?

Lu Qingchen stared at her in surprise, "So you believe me?"

Qin Miaoxi deliberately asked, "Is there?"

"You have no evidence, why do you want to arrest me alone?" Lu Qingchen could see that they had not yet found any clues in the case.

"Because you said you can do anything, young marquis."

Lu Qingchen was almost choked by her, "You...you woman don't know what's good for you."

Qin Miaoxi smiled brightly and said jokingly, "You're welcome! This requires the cooperation of the young marquis."

Qin Miaoxi smiled faintly without saying anything. This grandson never said a good word. It would be great to scare him. It could also distract the real murderer's sight. Perfect.

The two men squinted at each other, unwilling to be outdone. The smiles on their lips were like invisible swords and even the air became solemn.

After a while, Lu Qingchen was the first to give in. He curled his lips helplessly, "The emperor asked me to participate in the investigation. You have to tell me who is the most suspicious?"

Qin Miaoxi hesitated whether to tell him, but a yamen runner beside her spoke weakly, breaking the deadlock. "Coroner Qin, Lord Liang has ordered that this case be handed over to the young marquis for full responsibility. You must answer whatever the young marquis asks."

Qin Miaoxi: “…!?”

Was she sold?

Qin Miaoxi glanced at Lu Qingchen with disdain. If the old man from the Dali Temple wanted to be a hands-off boss, he would have to depend on her consent.

Hearing this, Lu Qingchen became proud. Look! The Dali Temple still knows how to deal with current affairs.

"Xiao Qinzi, speak!"

The words of command were spoken in a natural way.

There was a frivolous smile on Lu Qingchen's lips, but a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, and he acted like a dandy.

Qin Miaoxi's expression grew increasingly serious. A yamen runner beside her immediately stepped forward, stuffed something into her mouth, and whispered, "Coroner Qin, restrain yourself!"

I felt the coldness in my hands and could barely see a hint of silver through my fingers, like silver.

Qin Miaoxi's anger disappeared in an instant like a cold wind. She looked up and gave Lu Qingchen a sincere smile.

"Young Marquis, please don't worry. I'll tell you right away that the stone pillar has traces of rope wear, but those traces are on the outer edge of the stone pillar. I haven't figured out how the murderer used the rope to tie the person up there."

Lu Qingchen said nonchalantly, "Oh! You mean that? There's a small hole on top of those stone pillars. Just pass the rope through it and it will be fixed."

Qin Miaoxi stared at him with a sharp gaze, "How did you know there was a hole there?"

Lu Qingchen lowered his head in panic.

Qin Miaoxi pressed on, saying firmly, "You've been here."

Lu Qingchen retreated step by step, stumbling in his reply: "No... I really haven't been here..."

[How did she know? I just came in to hide once, and she figured it out?]
