Suddenly, Qin Qing's expression changed, his eyes widened instantly as he stared at the prefect, and he couldn't help but take a step forward! The head constable, An, was startled and quickly tried to stop him, but Qin Qing had only taken one step, making him seem like he was making a mountain out of a molehill!
"The dead? He's dead?"
Her tone was full of surprise. She knew very well how much force she had used; at most, it would cause him unbearable pain, but it couldn't be fatal.
The prefect, seeing her surprised and solemn expression, was quite disdainful! He had seen many people like her who refused to confess, and he snorted coldly.
"You criminal, Mu Qinshi, what else do you have to say?"
Qin Qing rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"Since you've mentioned a criminal, sir, I'd like to ask: where are the witnesses? Where are the physical evidence? Where is the motive? I'll speak even without evidence!"
Seeing her so stubborn, the prefect was somewhat stunned, because he really hadn't thought of this. The clerk, Duan, who was standing to the side, was speechless and bent down to whisper something.
"Sir, we have witnesses; she did indeed beat someone in the alley yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, the prefect suddenly realized!
"Yes, yes, we have witnesses, people who saw it with their own eyes!"
Seeing his expression, Qin Qing couldn't help but darken her face. She was now certain that the position of prefect had definitely been bought with money!
"Someone, bring the summons certificate!"
The next second, a very simple and honest old farmer walked in. The moment he saw Qin Qing, he instinctively covered his groin, his face filled with panic!
"M- ...
He spoke with obvious fear, clearly haunted by the experience.
Upon hearing this, the prefect regained his morale and gave him a look that said, "You're a vicious woman!" Qin Qing wanted to rush up and slap him!
She then took a deep breath, looked at the old farmer, and was so frightened that he recoiled in fear.
"This old man..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old farmer immediately objected, glaring at him.
"What old man! I'm forty-seven years old this year, not much older than you!"
Hearing this, Qin Qing was speechless. After looking him up and down in surprise, she couldn't believe that this man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties was only forty-seven!
"Alright, alright, then, brother, since you're a witness, does that mean you saw me kill the victim with your own eyes?"
Upon hearing this, the old farmer was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and hesitated.
"This... I don't think I saw it."
The prefect, who was looking at Qin Qing with smug satisfaction, froze upon hearing this, looked at the old farmer in disbelief, and said angrily!
"What do you mean by that? Old man, do you know the consequences of making a false police report? Explain yourself to me!"
"bump!"
Another gavel struck, startling the old farmer so much that his legs trembled, his face turned ashen, and he immediately knelt down in panic.
"My lord, I dare not!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing continued to speak.
"Since you didn't see me kill the deceased, you should have heard the conversation when I hit him, right? He kidnapped my granddaughter, intending to seize her property, and even threatened me to hand over the secret formula. It's normal for me to react violently in a moment of emotional outburst!"
Upon closer inspection, her words seemed to make perfect sense, and even the prefect stared at her blankly, unsure of how to respond.
But Qin Qing continued speaking with a wronged expression.
"Besides, how could I, a mere woman, beat a grown man to death with a few sticks? Isn't that just fooling a fool?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the prefect, who looked completely bewildered. The clerk beside him realized what was happening and immediately blushed.
The old farmer on the ground seemed to realize something and murmured to himself.
"This...it seems we didn't see that person die..."
Before the words were even finished and the prefect could even begin to scold him, he saw Qin Qing's next move and his expression immediately changed. He quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve!
The constables present also acted in unison, staring at Qin Qing with eyes full of anticipation, as if watching a good show.
Qin Qing bent down, lifted the white cloth with one hand, and revealed a pile of mangled, bloody pieces of a corpse that had been assembled on the stretcher!
Although the prefect dared not look at the corpse, he did not want to miss Qin Qing's terrified expression, so he stared at her with a gloating look on his face.
The next second, Qin Qing frowned, his eyes were very serious, his face was normal, and his head was slightly close to the corpse. Then... he picked up a piece of meat through the white cloth!
"vomit!!"
A series of vomiting sounds immediately filled the hall, and the people outside turned pale, after all, they had no idea what was inside!
Qin Qing looked at it for a long time, then put it down. He picked up a piece of meat and examined it carefully, his gaze gradually becoming serious.
The prefect was so enraged he almost fainted again!
Finally, Qin Qing put down the piece of meat and stood up. He roughly understood what was going on and said with a very serious expression.
"Sir, may I ask where the coroner is?"
The prefect stared at her in disbelief, unable to comprehend how a woman could remain so calm and collected after witnessing such a gruesome scene, even asking him where the coroner was. The coroner had vomited beyond recognition! Was she even human? She was a monster!
Thinking about it, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he spoke weakly.
"Someone, summon the coroner!"
Before long, the coroner strode in and noticed the things on the ground from afar; his expression changed.
Before he could even bow, Qin Qing turned his head and said calmly.
"Have you examined the deceased's body? What was the cause of death?"
The coroner looked over upon hearing the sound and saw a woman. He was disdainful and didn't want to pay her any attention, but since the prefect was also watching, he could only confirm it.
"Reporting to you, sir, this person has multiple bite wounds, his flesh is mangled, it's clear... he was unable to move after being injured and was ultimately killed by stray dogs!"
He listened outside for a while and roughly understood the reason, but so what? They couldn't possibly arrest all the stray dogs in the city, could they? There were just too many of them!
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Qin Qing. He himself hadn't done much of an autopsy yesterday and had already felt nauseous and vomited! He refused to believe that a woman could possibly see anything!
Seeing this, Qin Qing sneered and looked at the prefect.
"You heard it, didn't you, sir? And you all heard it, didn't you?"
Everyone stared blankly at her confident expression, having no idea what she was talking about.
Qin Qing smiled, looking utterly disgusted next to a pile of stinking, rotting flesh...
The prefect twitched his eyelids, a feeling of extreme embarrassment rising in his heart, as if his own hall had become a place where others shone!
"Mu Qinshi, speak your mind! Don't laugh so... arrogantly!" You pervert!
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing's smile vanished, and his eyes gleamed.
"This man only saw me beating up the kidnappers because of the robbery, he didn't see me kill anyone. The coroner also said that the person died from being attacked by stray dogs, which means he was still alive when I left, right?"
Upon hearing this, a gasp of surprise rippled through the hall; it seemed to make sense...
