Butcher's hands were trembling.
He looked at the meat that had been smashed on the chopping board.
He thought to himself, 'I didn't do anything immoral or heartless.
How did they end up investigating me?
And it's a murder case!
I didn't kill anyone. '
The guards were removing the pieces of meat from the wall one after another.
During this time, the people in the market gathered around.
They were all pointing their fingers.
They were all whispering.
Someone was discussing. "What's going on?"
"Didn't you see? This is a case investigated by the authorities. "
"Whose case? Why is it Old Pig's head? "
"Who else do you think has a case in Gaoding City?"
"Du Mubai's?"
"That's right!"
"But what does this have to do with Butcher Zhang? Don't tell me … he's the murderer? Aiya, I've been buying meat from him for more than ten years. Don't be fooled by his height and loud voice, he's a very honest and sincere person! How does it have anything to do with the case that's been going viral recently? "
"Who knows? You can't judge a book by its cover!"
"That's true, let's wait and see …"
…
All sorts of voices came from the crowd.
There were all sorts of discussions.
But all of them were made up.
Soon, the pieces of meat on the wall were removed one by one. There were indeed "small hills" of uniform size and equidistant cement on the wall.
There were at least fifteen of them in a row.
The guard hurriedly said, "Milord, Teacher Ji, look, these are similar to doornails, and the distance between them is the same as the protruding point on Du Mubai's ribs. Du Mubai must have hit these with his back."
He spoke with reason and evidence.
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes.
He pondered.
Then he asked Ji Yunshu, "Young Master Ji, what do you think? Is it here? "
Ji Yunshu quietly walked forward and looked at the small hills.
Then she touched them with her hand.
Her eyes darkened.
She roughly estimated the height and distance of these small hills based on Du Mubai's height. The basic situation was that the place where Du Mubai's back hit was indeed the same as here.
The size, distance, and height were all the same …
She said, "At first glance, it does look like this place."
Li Cheng seemed to have only heard the word 'sure' from her and completely ignored the word 'like'.
He thought that Ji Yunshu was giving him a positive answer.
"If that's the case, then Du Mubai might have died here."
It felt like the case was about to be solved!
Ji Yunshu did not continue speaking.
He glared angrily at the butcher who did not know what was going on and questioned him, "I ask you, six years ago, did you kill Du Mubai?"
Ugh!
The surrounding commoners were in an uproar.
Butcher was even more astonished and quickly asked, "What? I … I killed Du Mubai? How … how could I kill someone? I've been selling pork here for more than ten years. Everyone in the neighborhood knows who I am! Milord, you are clearly accusing me. "
"Now that I've found the thing that hit the victim's body, you still dare to deny it?"
"I … I really didn't."
Li Cheng didn't care about the consequences and immediately ordered, "Men, capture him."
The guards received the order and rushed forward, grabbing Butcher.
"You … You're accusing me wrongly. I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! "Butcher shouted as he struggled.
Unfortunately, he was firmly held and could not move at all.
Thus, it caused a commotion in the surrounding people.
They began to discuss again.
"Did he really kill someone?"
"Who knows?"
"This is a big case! He has to pay with his life for killing someone. "
"This time, Old Pig won't be able to escape."
"He's really sinful."
"Doesn't that mean we won't be able to eat his pork anymore?"
… …
However —
Just when everyone thought that he was the murderer, Ji Yunshu calmly walked around in a circle as if she was observing something.
However, he did not notice her actions.
One by one, they fell into the trap of Butcher being treated as a killer.
Li Cheng seemed to have the urge to behead Butcher on the spot.
Seeing this, Jing Rong had no choice but to step forward.
He asked Li Cheng indifferently, "Does Heir Cheng know where this place is?"
Huh?
Why did he suddenly ask this?
Li Cheng replied, "Of course, this is the market!"
"Since it's a market, who would want to meet here? Who would want to drink tea and eat here? "
"What do you mean?"
"Heir Cheng, do you want to meet someone here for a tea party?"
"Of course not."
"Then do you think Du Mubai would?"
"… Ah?" Li Cheng was startled. "Perhaps … it's also possible. I don't come here, but it doesn't mean that others won't come here. So, Du Mubai might have met someone here."
"That's impossible!" Ji Yunshu suddenly exclaimed after observing the surroundings.
When everyone heard her words, they all looked at her.
Jing Rong knew that she must have found a clue.
And I must have the same thought as myself.
Li Cheng was puzzled. "Why is it impossible?" Ji Yunshu said slowly, "Heir Cheng, you can look around. When Du Mubai died, it was winter and it was snowing. In this place, when winter comes, the roads become very dirty, and there are even potholes everywhere. Just now, when we walked here, the soles of our shoes and robes were stained with mud.
。
But according to what I know, when Du Mubai died, his clothes were clean, and the soles of his shoes were also very clean! He didn't look like he had been to this place before, and … "As she said this, she walked to the wall and touched the few 'small hills' on it. She rubbed her fingertips and said," Just now, the butcher said that he sold meat here for more than ten years, so it must be covered with lard. You can tell by touching it! If Du Mubai really bumped into this place, the back of his clothes must also be covered with lard. But like I said, the coroner's report said, his clothes were clean, and there wasn't even any mud, so naturally, there wouldn't be lard. So, it's impossible for him to have been to this place, and it's even more impossible for him to have bumped into this place.
Noodles. "
Realization dawned on them!
Everyone understood what he meant!
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva and carefully went through what she had just said.
Then, he nodded and said, "You're … right! If that's the case, Du Mubai really doesn't … doesn't look like he has been here before. "
"He has never been here, so …" Ji Yunshu glanced at the arrested butcher and said, "You've arrested the wrong person."
Pfft —
These words undoubtedly gave Butcher some peace of mind.
He was wrongly accused.
Finally, someone cleared his name.
