Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wei Shilai walked over to Liu Sanniang. “What do you need to prepare?”

Wei Shilai had never believed in psychics or witches, but his colleagues were officials. Many of them had Taoists whom they were on good terms with. When they encountered something they could not solve, they would seek help from those Taoists.

Wei Shilai didn’t believe in it personally.

However, he saw a righteous look on Liu Sanniang’s face. For some reason, Wei Shilai did not want to reject her.

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Please extend your hand.”

Wei Shilai frowned. Telepathy was a very difficult task. Didn’t she have to prepare anything?

Suspicious, Wei Shilai offered his hand.

Officer Zhou was more nervous. Just as Wei Shilai had said, Liu Sanniang could find out about his little secrets by just asking around, but to find out secrets about the magistrate, it was hard.

If Liu Sanniang really had the ability, there might be hope for him to find his daughter.

Lin Zheng didn’t think much of it. He had been with Wei Shilai for so many years, and all the cases that His Lordship had solved had been done painstakingly. If His Lordship didn’t believe in witchcraft, he naturally didn’t either.

Lin Zheng thought that Liu Sanniang was just playing a trick to achieve her goal.

Liu Sanniang reached out and gently touched Wei Shilai’s finger. She was completely focused. She didn’t know how far this ability could go, but she used all her energy to see through his mind.

She even closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she said, “I see a house. It is very, very old.”

When Liu Sanniang first spoke, Wei Shilai was surprised. But when Liu Sanniang said the following words, Wei Shilai revealed a shocked expression.

Liu Sanniang was still talking. “I see an old woman. She is very old. She can’t stand up straight. She is sewing clothes. Her son is going on a long trip…”

Liu Sanniang’s face was a little pale. She was mentally exhausted and a little overwhelmed, but she tried to see more, to see more clearly.

Wei Shilai had already retracted his hand. Tears filled his eyes and his voice was a little choked. “There’s no need to say anything else. I believe you.”

What Liu Sanniang saw was his mother, who had passed away many years ago. No one in Yong County knew about his humble background.

He had never even told his wife about this. The fact that Liu Sanniang could tell him this was enough to prove herself and convince Wei Shilai.

Wei Shilai was not a rigid person. There were always things in this world that he did not know about. He wouldn’t reject the fact that it existed just because he didn’t know.

Lin Zheng was shocked. “Sir…”

In Lin Zheng’s opinion, Liu Sanniang had only said a few strange words. Why did his lordship suddenly believe her?

On the other hand, Officer Zhou was extremely excited. His eyes were filled with hope as he looked at Liu Sanniang. When he caught the arsonist of the mortuary, he would ask Liu Sanniang for help. No matter how much money it cost, he was willing to sell everything.

Wei Shilai raised his head and tried to force the tears back. He turned his back. “Miss Liu is not a swindler. I was very poor when I was young. I remember my mother very clearly. She passed away many years ago. Even my wife doesn’t know about this.”

Lin Zheng was surprised. He knew that Magistrate Wei wouldn’t lie, but he still found it difficult to believe it.

If solving a case was so easy, what was the point of having officers?

Wei Shilai quickly calmed down and said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, how do you plan to help us find the arsonist?”

Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief. “I know who the arsonist is. As long as you bring the people here and let me touch the person, I will definitely be able to find evidence.”

Wei Shilai asked her quickly. “Who’s the arsonist?”

Liu Sanniang replied firmly., “It was Liu Cheng who did this. In order to burn his wife’s corpse, he burned down the entire mortuary.”

Wei Shilai frowned.

Lin Zheng retorted. “That’s impossible. You’re saying that Liu Cheng burned down the entire mortuary in order to frame your family. What can he get from doing that?”

Burning down a whole mortuary just for money? If he was really the arsonist, the families of so many innocent people would drown Liu Cheng with their saliva.

Wei Shilai was also shocked, even though he had witnessed many atrocities.

Sometimes, it didn’t need a reason for one to commit a crime. Many major cases often started from just a small matter.

Liu Sanniang said, “I won’t know why until I see him.”

Lin Zheng asked her sarcastically. “If you don’t know, how did you know that he was the arsonist?”

“Are you telling us that you are just drawing an assumption without hard evidence? Ridiculous!”

Liu Sanniang pursed her lips. “It’s Liu Shun, Liu Cheng’s cousin. I met him at the entrance of the government office. He grabbed my wrist. I saw him instigating Liu Cheng to set the fire.”

Lin Zheng felt that it was even more ridiculous. “Sir, this woman’s words are without rhyme or reason. She can’t be trusted at all.”

When investigating a case, one had to be down-to-earth. Psychic? What a joke.

If psychic powers could help capture the real arsonist, then they, the constables, and the officers could cease to exist.

Liu Sanniang was a little anxious. “Sir, everything I said is true. I can communicate with spirits, but I’m not a god. I don’t know everything. But as long as you let me touch Liu Cheng, I can definitely find evidence.”

When the evidence was found, Liu Cheng would have to confess!

Officer Zhou was also anxious. “Sir, just believe Miss Liu. She’s really not a liar.”

Lin Zheng said sarcastically, “Do you think with just a few words from you, Magistrate Wei will be so muddle-headed as to arrest someone without any evidence? Ridiculous.”

Liu Cheng and his family had the advantage, so how could the magistrate arrest them? At this point, a lot of people were keeping an eye on this case. If the magistrate didn’t arrest the arsonist, they would definitely report to the emperor to ask for a better magistrate.

But in the next second.

Wei Shilai ordered him. “Lin Zheng, bring Liu Cheng and his family here. Tell them that I want to apologize to them.”

Lin Zheng was stunned. “Sir?”

He had just said that it was impossible for Magistrate Wei to do so, but in the next second, he was slapped in the face. Lin Zheng found it unbelievable.

Wei Shilai emphasized. “Do my words carry no authority now?”

Lin Zheng looked at Liu Sanniang and lowered his head. “I’ll go immediately.”

Lin Zheng was furious, but he was only angry that Liu Sanniang had deceived Wei Shilai.

Officer Zhou held back his laughter.

Liu Sanniang felt very tired, but in order to save her mother, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.
