The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate-Chapter 14 - She Is A Psychic

Chu Yan ignored Madam Li. He packed his things and left.

After Chu Yan left, Madam Li cursed softly. “Go, just go. It’s best if you die outside.”

On second thought, Madam Li was terrified by the idea in her mind. Chu Yan was packing up his things and leaving right after the mortuary was burnt. Could it be that he was the one who set the mortuary on fire? f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

The more Madam Li thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Chu Yan was simply a ferocious beast. There was nothing that he could not do!

Madam Li jumped with fright and looked outside. There was no sign of Chu Yan.

She was so anxious that she could not sit still. She immediately went out to look for Mr. Chu. If it was really done by Chu Yan, she would have to quickly cut ties with him. Otherwise, her entire family would be implicated.

After Liu Sanniang explained her purpose of coming to the guard, her request to meet her family was instantly rejected.

When the mortuary was burned down, the government office was extremely busy. Magistrate Wei was even forced to make a promise to the people that he would catch the arsonist. However, there were still some people who refused to listen. They shouted and made a fuss, clamoring for the local government to compensate them and smashed the office building.

Under this situation, of course Liu Sanniang wouldn’t be allowed to see her parents.

She had no choice but to retreat to the back of the crowd and watch helplessly as people threw eggs at Magistrate Wei.

Liu Sanniang remembered that she had the ability to read people’s thoughts. She went forward, grabbed the sleeve of an officer, and heard his thoughts. ‘I can find the murderer. I know who the murderer is.’

The officer who was grabbed by Liu Sanniang was a little impatient. “Go, go, go. Don’t cause trouble here. You can forget about seeing your parents. Your parents are the suspects in the case. It’s impossible for you to see them.”

The officer was annoyed. He didn’t know who was so wicked as to set fire to the mortuary, causing such a huge mess. If this matter wasn’t resolved properly, Magistrate Wei would probably be removed from his post.

And his subordinates wouldn’t have a happy ending either.

Liu Sanniang grabbed the officer’s sleeve. With a slight touch, she could sense what he was thinking.

Liu Sanniang tried to sense more. She didn’t know how far she could go. She just wanted to sense more and say something that would convince the officer.

She looked at the officer and frowned. “You have a daughter, but she was abducted and sold by human traffickers. Your wife’s body is not as good as before. She has been depressed and sick all these years. Before she died, she told you to find your daughter. That’s why you became an officer. Every time a criminal is found, you will go and question them.”

The officier’s expression changed as soon as Liu Sanniang spoke. By the time she finished, the officer’s mouth was open and he was incoherent. “How… how did you know this?”

After using her ability, Liu Sanniang felt very tired. It seemed that such an ability didn’t come free.

Liu Sanniang said firmly, “I can help Magistrate Wei catch the murderer. Will you believe me now?”

The officer couldn’t stop grinning. He nodded. “Sure. Come with me. I’ll take you to His Lordship.”

As long as the murderer who burned the mortuary was caught, Magistrate Wei would be able to keep his post. With such a good and upright magistrate, he had a good chance of finding his daughter.

The officer looked at Liu Sanniang differently now. After his daughter was lost, he found a witch to help him, but the witch only told him that his daughter was still alive. Where could he find her in this vast world?

Though Liu Sanniang was just a young girl, she was much better than the witch. Perhaps she could really catch the murderer who burned down the mortuary. When she caught the murderer, he would ask her to help find his daughter.

Now the officer did not dare to stop Liu Sanniang from entering the hall.

Some people who knew him even teased him. “Officer Zhou, aren’t you causing more trouble for his Lordship by allowing this young girl to enter the office at this time?”

Officer Zhou said solemnly, “She’s not an ordinary person. She’s a psychic and can help us find the arsonist.”

After Officer Zhou finished speaking, the others laughed.

Wasn’t psychic the same as a witch? Most of the witches they had seen were either in their forties or fifties. They had never seen a witch so young.

Officer Zhou did not bother to explain anything to them. He trusted his gut.

Back then, when her daughter disappeared, the witch whom he found did many things before she could confirm that his daughter was still alive. Other than that, the witch knew nothing.

Liu Sanniang, on the other hand, could tell what he was worried about with just a touch. She didn’t even have to summon a spirit or do anything.

Wei Shilai, the magistrate, was in a terrible fix. The mortuary had always been a place where dead people were kept. To the living, this was an ominous place. Everyone would take a detour to avoid that place.

However, no one expected that a place that everyone avoided would be set on fire.

No one could come to terms with the reality that the corpses of their family members were burnt to ashes.

The more Wei Shilai thought about it, the angrier he became. What kind of heartless person would do something like this? He would never be able to live with himself if he didn’t catch the arsonist.

Wei Shilai was an honest magistrate and was a good official who stood up for the people.

At this moment, the back room of the office hall was silent.

When Officer Zhou brought Liu Sanniang in, he was stopped by Wei Shilai’s assistant and the constable. “Why are you still causing trouble for his Lordship at a time like this? Do you think his Lordship is not troubled enough?”

Magistrate Wei was about to kneel down to the people and guarantee that he would catch the murderer and give them an explanation. However, the people still refused to listen and even threw eggs at him.

As the number one constable under Wei Shilai, Lin Zheng had solved many cases. He knew how good Magistrate Wei was. Seeing the magistrate being treated like this, he felt bad for him, but he could not do anything.

Officer Zhou knelt down and said, “Sir, Miss Liu is psychic. She can help us catch the murderer. With a touch, she could read my mind.”

Wei Shilai frowned. “Anyone who spends some time asking around will know a lot about you. How can she prove herself?” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Liu Sanniang gathered her courage. “Sir, I was born in Willow Street. My parents are well-behaved citizens, and my brother has never committed any crime. I have never caused trouble in my life either. I definitely don’t know anything about you, but I can read your thoughts and persuade you.”

Just as Liu Sanniang had said, she was just an ordinary commoner. No matter how capable she was, it was impossible for her to know the private affairs of a county magistrate.

Wei Shilai turned to his assistant and instructed in a low voice. “Go and investigate.”

“Yes.”

The assistant glanced at Liu Sanniang and turned to leave.

Psychics rarely interfered in secular matters like this. Those who did were most likely swindlers. The magistrate wanted to find out Liu Sanniang’s background.
