Xiao Heguan thought that the arrival of the young lady of the Li Clan could buy some time or allow Crown Prince Cheng to leave.
Who would have thought that this would be the result!
He couldn't be surprised for a moment!
"Miss Li, I'm afraid the whole thing …" Before Xiao Heguan could finish his words, Li Wenshu interrupted him again, "I know this matter is very important, and it will be very difficult for anyone to handle it. Isn't this what you are most worried about? That's why they sent someone to look for my father. But I told them that I would bear all the consequences.
When I return from the palace, I will explain everything to him. I won't implicate you. "
"…"
Xiao Heguan was speechless.
When Li Cheng heard that Xiao Heguan was stalling for time because he was going to look for his father, he was shocked.
His anger flared up immediately.
He immediately said, "Officer Xiao, this is my city's department's matter, it's a case in my hands, why did you send people to find my father?"
Xiao Heguan said, "Crown Prince Cheng, I had no choice but to do this lest I bring you trouble."
Ouch!
He was actually so kind.
Li Cheng said, "I don't need your hypocrisy!"
"Crown Prince, I have no choice."
"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you." Li Cheng looked at Ji Yunshu. "Young Master Ji, let's go."
Ji Yunshu lightly nodded. "Alright!"
Xiao Heguan knew that he couldn't stop them now, so he could only give up.
He followed everyone to the room where Du Mubai had an accident.
At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier!
The servant opened the door. An old smell wafted out from inside, but it was slightly lighter than last night.
When the door opened, some people were actually afraid.
After all, someone had died inside.
Bad luck!
Not to mention that he had been locked up for six years.
But some people were afraid, and some were excited.
Li Cheng and Li Wenshu couldn't wait to know the truth.
They followed Ji Yunshu into the house.
Jing Rong and Bai Yin did not enter.
Bai Yin asked, "You're not going in?"
"Didn't we already find out last night?"
"You know? Know what? "Bai Yin was completely dumbfounded.
Although he had followed them into the inner room last night, he didn't understand anything after following them inside and looking around.
How did he know everything?
Jing Rong saw that he really didn't understand, so he said, "There's no harm in listening."
Therefore, he really went in to listen.
Although it was broad daylight in the room, it was still very dark.
Li Cheng ordered his men to light up three lamps, and only then did the room have some light!
Xiao Heguan asked, "This house has been sealed for six years, and no one has come in for six years. It's the same as it was before. You said there's evidence inside, but where's the evidence?"
This was also what everyone wanted to know.
Ji Yunshu held a lamp in her hand. She moved closer to the table in the middle of the room and looked up.
He said, "The evidence is on it."
Everyone raised their heads and looked up.
Other than spider webs, there was nothing on it!
Li Cheng looked up for a while, but he couldn't figure it out.
He asked, "What's on it?"
Ji Yunshu turned to look at Fang Tong's group of three and asked, "Didn't you say that when you entered the room, you saw Du Mubai hang himself?"
Fang Tong: "Yes!"
"You also said that because the rope was hung too high, you couldn't reach it when you put Du Mubai down, right?"
"Yes!"
"Good!" Ji Yunshu looked at Xiao Heguan. "Milord, can you give me a rope?"
"Of course." Xiao Heguan hurriedly ordered his men to bring a rope.
Ji Yunshu weighed the rope in her hand a few times. Then, she looked at the crowd and found a person. She said, "Come here and hang the rope."
The person who had been called out was one of the children in the study.
The child trembled.
He pointed at himself. "Me?"
"Yes."
The child didn't dare to refuse.
He trembled as he walked forward.
He took the rope, climbed up the table, and hung the rope on it.
Then, Ji Yunshu asked Jang Wen, "I remember from Du Mubai's file that you were the one who untied the rope."
Jang Wen took a step forward. "… Yes, I was the one who untied the rope."
"Good. Stand on it now."
"Me?"
"It was you."
Jang Wen felt a chill in his heart. He looked at the rope hanging from the beam. The scene of Du Mubai hanging himself was still vivid in his mind. Every time he thought about it, he felt numb.
Now, he had to stand on it, and it was the place where someone died.
He hesitated.
Li Cheng slapped him hard and shouted, "Hurry up and go up!"
His tone was commanding.
Jang Wen had no choice but to walk over.
His steps were very difficult.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly stepped on the table.
Ji Yunshu said, "Reach out and touch the rope."
Jang Wen's hand trembled, but he didn't dare to look up. He reached over his head and touched it.
Ji Yunshu's expression was solemn. "Come down."
Jang Wen was eager.
Of course, he quickly came down.
Ji Yunshu found another person in the crowd and said, "Milord, can I trouble you to hang the rope again?"
The person was an old official from the city's department.
The old official had already passed the stage of fear.
He jumped up, untied the rope that the child was hanging on, and tied it up again.
It was a little higher than the height that Xiao Tong had just tied.
Ji Yunshu asked Jang Wen to touch the rope again.
He could still touch it.
It wasn't strenuous at all!
Finally, Ji Yunshu locked her gaze on her brother, Bai Yin. "Brother, I need you to hang the rope again."
Although Bai Yin had always been against Ji Yunshu's involvement in this case, he couldn't not help her.
He stepped on the table and tied the rope again.
He tied it properly.
Then he came down.
His movements were very agile.
Those who didn't know him would think that he did this kind of thing often.
The rope was even higher than the one that the old official had used to tie him up.
Jang Wen went up to touch it again.
This time, although he could touch the rope, it was a little difficult to untie it because it was higher.
The crowd didn't understand. They thought that Teacher Ji was playing with them.
Ji Yunshu asked Jang Wen, "Was the rope that Du Mubai used to hang himself at that time so high?"
Jang Wen seemed to understand.
It turned out that Teacher Ji was testing the height of the rope.
Jang Wen thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, it was this high."
"Alright, you can come down."
Jang Wen came down.
Li Wenshu, who had been watching silently, said, "What does this have to do with Du Mubai's murder?"
Ji Yunshu replied, "Of course it does."
"What …"
"Miss Li, don't worry. I will explain slowly."
