Li Cheng said, "Could it be that the murderer was one of those scholars?"
Li Cheng doubted.
Ji Yunshu couldn't directly deny it.
She said, "Yesterday, we tested it on the spot. The murderer is very tall, at least 1.89 meters."
"I understand what you mean. I will quickly send someone to check if there was someone of that height among the scholars. If there was, then it must be the murderer." Li Cheng said resolutely.
Ji Yunshu was speechless. "It's too early to make a conclusion. Everything needs to be investigated first."
"You're right!"
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and said, "I want to open the coffin and examine the corpse."
"Open the coffin and examine the corpse?" Li Cheng was startled.
The officials of the city department were also surprised.
Ji Yunshu glanced at them indifferently and said, "If we don't examine the corpse, how can we find clues?"
"But Du Mubai is now a pile of bones." Someone said.
"Since he was killed, there will be clues left on his body."
"Can we examine it?"
"That depends on whether Du Mubai wants to tell me who killed him or not."
Her words were very strange!
Li Cheng recovered from his surprise and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. Du Mubai is buried not far from the city. We can dig him up tomorrow."
"You must be careful when digging the coffin. When carrying the coffin from outside the city to here, remember to seal the opening of the coffin lid with a damp cloth to prevent it from being stained along the way. Also …"
She explained everything one by one.
She was afraid that these people wouldn't understand, so she repeated everything again.
Only after making sure that they heard her clearly did she stop.
After all, if the bones in the coffin came into contact with dew or other things, it would affect their judgment.
Li Cheng asked, "What about Su Qiao's case?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Her case has to be started from another place. I don't have any clues yet, so I might have to put it aside for the time being."
"That's good. Find Du Mubai's murderer. Perhaps it is also Su Qiao's murderer."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything else.
At this time, the old coroner who examined Su Qiao's head came.
His face was full of admiration.
He cupped his hands towards Ji Yunshu.
"This old man spoke nonsense and offended Teacher Ji. Please forgive me and don't take offense."
Ji Yunshu immediately stood up and politely cupped her hands in greeting. "Old Mister, please don't say that. There are too many things in this world that we don't know. Not everyone knows about them."
"Sir, don't comfort me."
"I don't know how to comfort people. I'm just speaking the truth."
The more she spoke, the more embarrassed the coroner became.
However, Li Cheng's memory was very good.
He walked over with a smirk on his face, "Old man, you made a bet with me before. If Young Master Ji can find out the identity of the deceased, you will kowtow to him three times. How about it? Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise? "
The old man's face immediately turned green.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. Since I've said it, I'll naturally do it."
He was about to kneel down in front of Ji Yunshu.
In the next moment, Ji Yunshu immediately stopped him. "No need. No matter what, I'm still a junior. I can't accept these three kowtows."
Old Hou pretended to be resolute. "But I've already said this."
"Then I've already accepted it. Only the number of kowtows will be exempted."
Li Cheng said, "How can that be? If you bet, you must accept your loss! "
He continued to fan the flames.
Ji Yunshu fiercely glared at him. "Could it be that Heir Cheng wants to shorten my lifespan?"
"Of course not!"
"Since you didn't, you want me, a junior, to accept three kowtows from a senior. Isn't that the same as taking my life?"
'Ugh!'
Li Cheng was speechless for a moment.
He smacked his lips and waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything."
The old coroner felt very embarrassed.
He was also touched.
Not long after, Ji Yunshu and Bai Yin left.
They would wait for Du Mubai's coffin to be carried over tomorrow.
When they arrived at the old mansion, they saw Jing Rong.
Ji Yunshu worriedly asked, "Where did you go?"
Jing Rong told them about his meeting with Na Yan.
Bai Yin was very agitated. "I told you not to touch this case. Look at you now, so many people have been dragged into it!"
Jing Rong calmly said, "The Second Prince won't dare to act recklessly. He knows the consequences."
"What if? Even a herbivorous wolf that was kept by a person's side would still bite! Not to mention humans. "
Jing Rong frowned. "Bai Yin, this is not the Xisai Grasslands. Hou Liao and Yue Dan are not here. This is Huyi, a place where power rests. "
"I don't know what you mean." Ji Yunshu explained, "It means that when it comes to the internal affairs of the imperial court, one shouldn't act rashly. Instead, one should assess the situation carefully in order to survive. Right now, we are helping Crown Prince Cheng with this case.
This is tantamount to handling a case for the Huyi court. If the Second Prince dares to touch us, he will be the enemy of the court. He does not dare to do so.
！”
At the end of the day, Bai Yin still had some of the temperament of the grasslands of Sicai. In the grasslands, there was no such thing as consideration or consideration. If you want to win, just go for it!
If you win, you're the king!
But this was Huyi.
Bai Yin seemed to understand, but at the same time, she did not.
However, he knew that it was pointless for him to say anything more.
He didn't say anything else.
He turned around and left.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other and smiled.
The next moment, Jing Rong was already holding her hand.
The two of them stood under the eaves.
They looked at the heavy snow that was falling at this moment.
It was said that when two people were together, there should be a priority and a secondary one.
Jing Rong was willing to be the secondary one. He would rather hide all his sharpness and silently accompany Ji Yunshu.
This was love!
…
Marquis Pingyang's mansion.
Li Cheng was busy arranging people to dig up Du Mubai's coffin, so he did not return until very late.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he was stopped by his eldest brother, Li Qiao.
"Brother?"
"Is there any progress on the case?"
"I'm still investigating."
"Have you given full authority to that person called Teacher Ji?"
Li Cheng nodded. "She can help me."
Li Qiao patted his shoulder. "Whether the case can be solved or not depends on whether you can enter the imperial court in the future. So, don't leave everything to others. You have to pay attention to yourself."
"Got it, Big Brother."
"Then you should go rest early."
Li Cheng nodded. He was about to return to his courtyard when he stopped and asked Li Qiao, "Big Brother, do you know who Du Mubai might have gone to after he was disqualified?"
Huh?
"Why do you suddenly ask?"
"Because according to what they said, who did Du Mubai see before he died? Big Brother, you were close to him in the past. Do you know who else he knew? "
When Du Mubai was still a student, Li Qiao had taken care of him many times.
He felt that Du Mubai was very smart and could become a branch of the Li family in the future.
Li Qiao thought for a moment. "I'm not very clear."
"Oh, forget it. I'll go first."
When Li Cheng walked a few steps, Li Qiao suddenly called out to him.
