While everyone was still shocked by Ji Yunshu's words, Li Cheng asked, "You said … Du Mubai was killed? Is it true? "
Ji Yunshu earnestly affirmed, "Du Mubai was indeed killed!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Then I need everyone to follow me to a place. When we get there, I can naturally prove what I just said."
Li Cheng: "Where are we going?"
"The room where Du Mubai had an accident."
Wen She!
A murder scene!
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had not come back to his senses.
Fang Tong, Jang Wen, and Bingzheng, who were kneeling on the ground, were perplexed.
The officials began to discuss among themselves.
After all, once it involved Du Mubai's case from six years ago, then the whole thing wouldn't be simple. At that time, the heads of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice who were involved in this case would be pushed to the front. If Du Mubai really did not commit suicide but was killed, then many people would be implicated.
Those old City Sector officials who had previously participated in the case would also be implicated.
So much so that they broke out in cold sweat! An old official stood up after the discussion. He questioned Ji Yunshu's words. "Teacher Ji, what we are investigating now is Su Qiao's case, but you are investigating Du Mubai's case! Does Teacher Ji know how big this case is? How many people were involved? If only
Just because of your side of the story, you want all of us from the City Sector to accompany you in this investigation. Once there is nothing fishy about the case, when the higher-ups investigate, the ones who will be held responsible will be us, not you! "
In the end, Ji Yunshu wasn't someone from the city's department, nor was she someone from the government.
If the higher-ups pursued the matter, she could escape unscathed, but the officials who investigated the case with her would be in trouble.
All of them would definitely be brought to the table and questioned.
Therefore, the old official's worries were not unfounded.
Naturally, Ji Yunshu wouldn't drag them down with her! She explained to the old officer, "Sir, I know there are some things that involve a lot of people, and I also know this is Su Qiao's case, but now that Su Qiao and Du Mubai are involved, these two cases have a certain commonality. Sir, think about it, Su Qiao came to Gaoding to investigate because she didn't believe Du Mubai would commit suicide. I think … maybe she knows something? Or did he find something? After the murderer found out, he brutally murdered her. Of course, whether the murderer was the same as Du Mubai's murderer still needed to be investigated.
Therefore, these two cases must be investigated together, regardless of which one it is. "
His attitude was firm.
The old official choked and did not know what to say.
After a while, he opened his mouth. "Then what if Du Mubai committed suicide and wasn't killed?"
"Since I said that he was killed, of course, I have evidence. That's why I want everyone to follow me to the room where Du Mubai hanged himself. When we get to the scene, I can prove what I said."
"Even though you said that …" The old official did not finish his words.
Li Cheng continued, "Alright, there's no need to say anything else. This official believes in Young Master Ji. If there are any consequences, this official will bear all responsibility."
She had never felt that Li Cheng was so handsome!
The official stepped forward, "Your Excellency, this is not a trifling matter. If you wish to investigate, you must report it to your superiors."
"Don't talk to this official about this nonsense. In short, this official insists on standing on Young Master Ji's side. Since she said that Du Mubai was killed, this official believes that she must have evidence."
"Your Excellency!"
"Shut up." Li Cheng scolded and turned to Ji Yunshu. "Young Master Ji, I know your ability to solve cases. Now, we will follow you to the scene."
Ji Yunshu replied, "Okay."
Li Cheng disregarded the opposition of those officials and insisted on investigating Du Mubai's case.
After all, Du Mubai was the person his sister loved.
He must find out the truth.
In the end, those officials could only accept it!
In any case, they would follow the patrol captain.
If anything happened, he would bear the responsibility!
Before going to the room, Ji Yunshu walked in front of Fang Tong, Jiang Wen, and Bingzheng who were kneeling on the ground.
She said very seriously, "For the time being, you have wrongly accused Du Mubai of stealing the poem. I need you to go with me to the room because it was the three of you who saw Du Mubai first."
"…"
"When we arrive at the scene, I also need your help!"
"Yes …" Fang Tong's voice trembled.
The other two also silently agreed.
Soon, Li Cheng led a few old officials and a few guards to follow Ji Yunshu and the others.
Before going, Li Cheng also sent someone to inform the person in charge of the room.
The person in charge was an external official from the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Heguan.
When he heard this, he was stunned for a long time.
Then, he asked the person who came to report, "What is going on? Why did they say that Du Mubai was killed? Wasn't the case investigated that year? "
The person replied, "I don't know. It was said by a gentleman invited by the City Sector. He said that Du Mubai was killed."
"Are you talking about the gentleman who can draw bones?"
"Yes!"
"But why is Du Mubai's case related to her?"
The person answered in detail, "It is said that the deceased in the stone case that the City Sector is in charge of is related to Du Mubai. Therefore, Lord Li said that the two cases will now be combined into one!"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Heguan's expression changed greatly.
The combination of two cases was shocking enough, not to mention that one of the cases was already closed by the Ministry of Justice six years ago.
The person didn't dare to make a sound.
Xiao Heguan paused for a long time before asking, "How long until the people from the City Sector arrive?"
"Soon."
"Go to Marquis Pingyang's Residence first and tell this matter to Marquis Pingyang. I will stop them here and wait for the Marquis to make the decision. If the Marquis agrees with Crown Prince Cheng's decision, I have nothing to say."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the person hurried away.
Not long after, Li Cheng and the others arrived.
Xiao Heguan stood at the door with an ugly expression. He looked at Li Cheng and said, "Crown Prince Cheng."
Li Cheng didn't know this person, but he knew that there was an external official from the Ministry of Rites in charge of the office.
He said, "You are that Lord Xiao, right?"
"Yes."
"I have already sent someone to inform you. You should know, right?"
Xiao Heguan sighed and said, "I know. Crown Prince Cheng, you want to investigate Du Mubai's case."
"Yes. Now I am going to take someone to the room where the accident happened."
"This matter …"
"Is it very difficult?"
"Of course not. But Crown Prince Cheng, if you want to investigate Du Mubai's case, don't you have to first get the approval of the Ministry of Justice? Without the approval of the Ministry of Justice, the case cannot be overturned, "Xiao Heguan told him very clearly.
