The crowd held their breaths.
They waited for Ji Yunshu to continue.
"But you never expected that there is a layer of fine hair on the wood turtle. The hair is not poisonous, and ordinary people won't have any reaction to it. However, if someone with sensitive skin touches it, they will get a rash and itch! It won't get better in a short period of time. "
Ji Yunshu rolled up Liu Zhi's sleeves as she spoke.
The back of his hand and wrist were covered with red rashes.
There were even scratches on his hand!
They looked like bloody scars.
"This is the rash caused by touching the soft hairs on the wooden turtle. If you don't admit it, then you can have a doctor examine it and see if what I said is true or false." Ji Yunshu said.
Liu Zhi's expression suddenly changed.
His pupils constricted!
His body almost stiffened by half.
When he regained his senses, he immediately pulled his hand back from Ji Yunshu's hand.
Then, he hid it firmly in his sleeve.
His whole body trembled!
"I … I didn't, it wasn't me!" He refused to admit, "Your hand was scratched by yourself, it's not a rash. You're full of nonsense, trying to frame me! I treated my wife very well. How could I do such a thing? I didn't! "
"If you treated her well, how could she be covered in wounds?" Ji Yunshu reached under the white cloth and pulled out the dead man's hand.
Everyone was frightened.
The crowd couldn't help but shrink back.
Some people only glanced at the scene, not daring to look.
Magistrate Liu also leaned back a little.
Even Coroner Zhou, who was kneeling on the side, was surprised. He wasn't frightened, after all, this was a common occurrence. He just didn't expect that the refined young lady would be so bold as to directly reach her hand under the white cloth to touch the deceased.
This was simply not the behavior of a normal person!
But the girl was clearly very calm.
Ji Yunshu carefully pulled out the dead man's hand and rolled up the sleeves.
The skin on the stiff arm turned purple.
It was indeed poisoned to death!
Magistrate Liu pointed at her, "You … What are you doing?"
She looked at the deathly pale Liu Zhi and said, "You keep saying that you treated your wife very well, but you beat her black and blue!"
"You … I didn't! How could my wife be injured? "
"Presumably, the reason why you used the Trampled Wooden Turtle to kill people was because you knew that the person who died after being hit by the Trampled Wooden Turtle would turn purple! This is the only way to cover up the bruises left on your wife's body, and also to cover up the fact that you had beaten her! "
"No, no …"
"Although the bruises have been covered up, Coroner Zhou is still here. Let him examine your wife and we will know if she is injured or not."
"…" Liu Zhi was so nervous that his teeth were chattering.
When Magistrate Liu heard this, his squinted eyes were filled with anger. He picked up the gavel next to him and slammed it down again. He questioned Liu Zhi, "Tell me, did you kill your wife? If you continue to hide anything, you will be punished with a wooden plank! "
Liu Zhi trembled a few times and quickly kowtowed. "My lord, I'm innocent. Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm really innocent!"
"Now that you have evidence, how do you explain it?"
"I … I'm innocent! I have no reason to kill my wife, my lord, I really … "
Before he could finish his words —
Ji Yunshu said, "Because you had a new lover! In addition, you didn't love your wife, so you wanted to kill her. "
Her words hit the nail on the head!
Liu Zhi panicked.
For a moment, he couldn't say a single word. "That night in the ruined temple, I saw you wearing an exquisite sachet. The embroidery was excellent, and it was definitely not done by an ordinary family! It was also definitely not done by your wife. It must have been given to you by your lover outside. I saw that your wife was very afraid of you. She didn't even dare to look you in the eye. Even when she spoke, she was very careful. When I gave her the steamed bun, I saw the bruises on her wrists. I knew that she must have been beaten by you. That's why she was so timid and afraid of you.
Moreover, you had a disgusted look on your face. It's possible that you killed her because of this! Things have already come to this, but you're still making useless quibbles. "
"Ah!"
Liu Zhi finally couldn't hold on any longer.
In front of all the evidence, he could no longer exonerate himself.
For a moment, he sat paralyzed on the ground.
"Yes, I killed her." He gritted his teeth and admitted.
His words immediately caused a commotion inside and outside the court.
"It's really him!"
"He actually killed his own wife. He's worse than an animal."
"And he's even a teacher! Bah! He's misleading the students. "
… …
Many voices came from outside the court.
Magistrate Liu said, "No noise is allowed in the court!"
Only then did everyone shut up.
Magistrate Liu asked Liu Zhi, "Since you've already admitted, why did you kill her? Was it really as this girl said, that you had someone else in your heart, and that's why you killed her? " Liu Zhi no longer quibbled. He angrily looked at his wife, who was covered by a white cloth, and angrily said, "All these years, I woke up early and slept late to teach. When I returned home, I still had to see her face that was neither human nor ghost! All day long, she was like a ghost circling around me. Every time, I wanted to strangle her to death. We were married for ten years, and in these ten years, she didn't give birth to any children for me. This kind of woman is simply useless! Unfortunately, I'm a scholar and a teacher at a private school.
That's why I couldn't openly divorce her, so I found this opportunity to kill her. As long as she's dead, I can live with Miss Xiu 'er forever! "
The Miss Xiu 'er he was talking about was his lover from outside!
For a woman, he killed his own wife.
Not only was he a scholar, but he was also a teacher at a private school.
He must have studied so many books over the past few decades that he was no good at all!
After listening to him, Ji Yunshu's heart was filled with anger and sadness.
For a moment, she couldn't bear it, and her eyes turned red. She said to Liu Zhi, "Your wife loved you very much. Even though she knew that there was only one piece of cake, she still gave it all to you. She would rather starve herself! Such a wife is hard to find in this world! You say that she's always around you, making you feel vexed, but you're her husband! If she doesn't follow you, where can she go?
If she doesn't follow you, where can she go? Where can she go? You're a scholar, and your family's circumstances aren't good. She must have suffered a lot during these ten years with you, but she never abandoned you. What about you? "
What about you?
These words were like knives stabbing into Liu Zhi's chest.
They stabbed him until he was badly mutilated.
Suddenly, it was eye-catching!
He recalled the little things that happened during these ten years.
He studied hard to become a scholar, but his wife never complained. She always supported him from behind and took care of the household.
If it wasn't for love, who would be willing to suffer like this?
He suddenly felt remorse.
He threw himself on his wife's corpse.
"Madam, I'm sorry."
His voice was choked with sobs.
However, it was already too late.
Some things are gone, and they're gone.
They won't come back.
This was a case that made people gnash their teeth in anger.
