A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 71 Countermeasures
"Sir, do you still want to solve the case?" Mu Qingcheng didn't have time to say anything more. She pushed Song Shuyu aside, strode forward, and said with a smile, "Sanhu, instead of kidnapping Constable Luo, you might as well take me hostage!"

Song Shuyu blurted out, "No way!"

Mu Qingcheng glanced sideways at the anxious adult, thinking to herself, "Where did that composure go? Keep pretending! Only by acting like a cold and ruthless adult can you break the three tigers' resolve to negotiate!"

Sanhu steadied himself and directly rejected Mu Qingcheng's suggestion. He sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I make the slightest move, Lord Song's guards will take care of me. Why would I fall for your trick?"

After saying that, he quickly retreated with Constable Luo as his hostage until they reached the entrance of the morgue. Then he raised the torch and issued an ultimatum: "I will count to three. If Lord Song still refuses to agree, then I will burn the First Madam's body in a fire, and I will take Constable Luo with me to be buried with her!"

Everyone followed in unison, but ultimately dared not get close!

"What, are you afraid of me?" Mu Qingcheng's contempt deepened. "You only dare to ambush Constable Luo, do you dare to attack me? Ha, you don't dare, even if I were a woman, you wouldn't dare, just like you don't dare to face Li Yunyao!"

"no……"

"Back at Yuntai Temple, you already knew about Li Yunyao's death, but you didn't run away. Instead, you deliberately waited outside Guanyin Temple, letting the constables arrest you and take you to the Jingzhao Prefecture! Your true purpose hasn't been achieved yet, has it? Since it hasn't been achieved, why are you doing this now? I guess you changed your mind and escaped because you heard what I said and were afraid that I would cut open Li Yunyao's abdomen to take her child, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sanhu's expression changed slightly. "Heh, he's quite a clever person!"

"I'm not only smart, I also have the guts to let you go, do you believe me?" Mu Qingcheng's words shocked everyone. Just as everyone was stunned, she moved as fast as lightning to approach Sanhu, disarmed him with a single move, then spun around and kicked away Sanhu's torch. Finally, she struck Sanhu's face with a single palm!
Her seemingly weak and powerless palm strike was like a giant suction cup, sucking away all of the three tigers' internal energy from a distance and freezing them in place!
All of this happened so fast that, apart from Song Shuyu and Song Li, no one else could clearly see how Mu Qingcheng made his move!
Officer Luo's mind went completely blank. Even though he was out of danger, he remained standing there, dumbfounded and motionless!
Mu Qingcheng, finding Constable Luo an eyesore, frowned and called out to him, "Constable Luo, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you running for your life?"

Officer Luo snapped back to reality and rushed toward the crowd.

But no one paid any attention to Constable Luo. All eyes were fixed on Mu Qingcheng, and all they could see was shock!

Mu Qingcheng slowly withdrew his hand, then weighed the official knife he had snatched, a half-smile on his face. "Sanhu, what do you think if I went into the morgue right now and disemboweled Madam Li in front of you?"

"No!" Sanhu's previous ferocity vanished, replaced by panic in his eyes. "Please don't do this to her!"

Mu Qingcheng's smile grew even more sinister. "That's not the attitude you should use when asking for favors!"

Sanhu knelt down with a thud, and said in a pitiful voice, "As long as you don't touch her, I'll do anything you ask!"

Mu Qingcheng leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear. He looked at her in disbelief, "Are you sure?"
