A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 364 Ending (33)

This lawsuit has completely baffled everyone!

Bai Zhizhi walked over and sat down next to Mu Qingcheng. She stared blankly at Lu Xun, her little face full of curiosity.

"What... what does this mean?" Duan Qianzhong covered his mouth with his hand and secretly asked Jiang Zhan.

"I don't know." Jiang Zhan shrugged and said quietly, "But I think that playing the victim only works on adults; it doesn't work on anyone else."

Duan Qian nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Our adults are not only good-looking, but also good actors. When they are wronged, their eyes and expressions give people a sense of vulnerability that makes them feel sorry for us."

Both of them had been to Yuyang and entered Langshan, witnessing Song Shuyu's true colors countless times along the way, and also seeing Mu Qingcheng's selfless act of sucking out snake venom for Song Shuyu. Therefore, their understanding was highly aligned.

As expected, Mu Qingcheng was annoyed that her business had been interrupted and said coldly and unhappily, "If you make any more noise, get out!"

Shen Che obediently shut up.

He was someone who had been beaten into submission by Mu Qingcheng, and he was terrified of her from the bottom of his heart, so one sentence from her was enough to make him dare not cause any more trouble.

Lu Xun, embarrassed, cleared his throat and wisely refrained from threatening Shen Che. He slowly returned to the table, sat down with a look of awkwardness as he faced the teasing gazes of the others.

Bai Zhizhi quickly averted her gaze, quietly sorting out her chaotic thoughts. She realized that letting go of someone is truly difficult. For her, and for Lu Xun, it was probably the same.

"Zhizhi." Mu Qingcheng suddenly spoke up and instructed, "Go to the yamen gate and persuade Hou Yiping and Xiaolinzi to go for a walk around the streets after their shifts and spread the word that I will be forced into marriage tomorrow."

She paused slightly before continuing, "Officer Jiang, arrange for the two of them to finish their shifts immediately and get on with this matter."

Jiang Zhan was puzzled. "Master Mu, what is the purpose of doing this...?"

“Time waits for no one. We can’t keep searching for Lin Shuban like looking for a needle in a haystack. If he’s still alive, then we should force him to show himself.” As Mu Qingcheng spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the case file, her long eyelashes concealing the true emotions in her eyes.

Jiang Zhan was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered something, swallowed hard, and his expression became complicated. "Okay, I'll go now."

Mu Qingcheng tightened her grip on the case file, continuing to make arrangements methodically: "Lord Lu, send an unfamiliar guard to follow Hou Yiping and Xiao Linzi, and ensure their personal safety."

"it is good."

Although Lu Xun was puzzled, he did not ask why. He gave Mu Qingcheng a deep look and then left the council hall with Jiang Zhan and Bai Zhizhi.

Xu Chunshan was somewhat worried. "Master Mu, are we confident we can succeed? Should we make a contingency plan? What if Lin Shuban still doesn't show up by tomorrow? How will we clear your name of suspicion?"

Mu Qingcheng paused for a moment, closed the case file, looked up at Xu Chunshan and Zhang the Registrar, and said, "Don't worry, even without Lin the Clerk, we have other evidence to prove your innocence. But I suspect that you've fallen into their trap. Your purpose isn't just to clear your own name. Those people imprisoned in our Jingzhao Prefecture's death row should also be brought out and put to trial under the law in broad daylight to uncover the truth behind this long-standing case!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chunshan and Zhang Zhubu were both surprised and delighted. "As expected of our wise and mighty lord!"
