The Unsolved Case (Beginning)
Someone died at the relay station!
The person who died was none other than Yuchi Lin.
It was said that he died in his room. His head fell to the ground, and the floor was covered in blood.
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened when she heard this. She deliberated for a moment and decided to look for Jing Rong. Coincidentally, the lowly official who delivered the news had left.
Jing Rong stood outside the hall with his hands behind his back and his brows furrowed.
Yuchi Lin was a great general of Qujiang. How could it not be serious when he was beheaded in Great Lin?
Qi Zhen Emperor had probably already smashed his cup.
Ji Yunshu walked over and was met with Jing Rong's strange gaze. She was somewhat baffled.
"General Yuchi is dead?" she asked.
Jing Rong replied, "Yes. He was beheaded and died at the relay station."
"How could he be dead?"
Jing Rong didn't answer and continued to look at her with that strange gaze. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
After a few moments of hesitation, he said, "He was beheaded with a sword. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol. The murderer probably killed him because he was drunk."
"Who is the murderer?"
Jing Rong's eyes darkened.
He spat out two words, "Ji Li!"
Ji Li?
Ji Yunshu was sure that she didn't hear wrong. It was Ji Li, her cunning big brother.
"How could it be? How could he kill General Yuchi? "She didn't believe it.
"After the banquet ended yesterday, General Yuchi invited Ji Li to the relay station for a refill of wine. This morning, someone opened the door and saw Ji Li standing beside the corpse with a sword."
"But that doesn't mean he's the murderer."
"The relay station is full of Qujiang's people. There are also guards at the entrance. Outsiders can't enter. Other than Ji Li, there's no one else."
Jing Rong's words were firm.
However, Ji Yunshu's occupational instinct told her that without evidence of murder, all accusations couldn't be confirmed.
She said, "If Your Highness is trying to say that Ji Li killed General Yuchi while drunk, this can only be considered a guess. Moreover, regardless of whether the people in the relay station are people of Qujiang or not, they are still people. As long as they are people, they can be suspected of murder."
"Then how do you explain Ji Li holding a sword?"
"What if he had a sword in his hand when he woke up?"
"Are you saying that someone framed him?"
"I didn't say that. I just wanted to tell Your Highness that you can't make a conclusion without evidence. Otherwise, you'll get someone killed."
The two of them spoke one after the other!
Each of them had their own opinions!
She didn't want to argue with him, but she hoped that he could understand her meaning.
After all, there were too many unjust cases in this world!
Even in the technologically advanced modern world, there were still countless unjust cases.
More often than not, most of these unjust cases were the result of other people's wild guesses.
Jing Rong could be considered a good child. After being verbally 'educated' by Ji Yunshu, the confidence in his heart was dispelled.
He narrowed his eyes at Ji Yunshu and asked, "Your Big Brother and Second Brother both want your life. Why are you still so protective of him?"
I knew he would ask this!
Ji Yunshu tilted her body. "I'm not siding with anyone. It's just that a life is at stake, and I have to verify it strictly."
"Then go and clean up."
"Huh?" Ji Yunshu was puzzled.
Jing Rong muttered, "Just now, the court official came to inform you that you should go."
"Isn't this handled by the capital governor?"
Why did he look for her?!
Jing Rong looked reluctant, but he was also helpless. "You solved the missing girls case that couldn't be solved for several months, so you've already become famous in the capital. When you're in the limelight, you'll naturally be busy. Don't blame the capital governor for looking for you. This is Imperial Father's decree."
He was simply forcing her!
Ji Yunshu was furious, but she showed it on her face. She said unhappily, "I'm not an official coroner, nor am I a member of the imperial court. I don't have any money in my hands, so I can't even be considered cheap labor."
She was only thinking about money!
The atmosphere was obviously heavy, but it was swept away by Ji Yunshu's words.
Jing Rong wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Don't worry, you won't have to worry about money. Even if the officials don't give it, this Prince will give it to you. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!"
If you become this Prince's Princess Rong, do you still need to worry about this?
I guarantee that you will wear gold and silver, eat delicacies, and not have to worry about food and drink!
Ji Yunshu didn't know about his little scheme, so she eagerly believed him. She took the sandalwood box containing the knife and went to the relay station.
The capital governor's mansion had already surrounded the area outside. As soon as she entered, she saw Qujiang's soldiers preparing for war. Each of them held a sword in their hands, ready to draw it at any time.
Their general was dead, so how could they continue eating and drinking?
The capital governor came to welcome her and nodded at her. "Teacher Ji, you're here. I'll have to trouble you."
"Don't worry about it."
The capital governor pointed upstairs. "The corpse is upstairs."
"En!"
Then, the capital governor moved closer to Jing Rong's ear and whispered, "General Ji has been sent to the Ministry of Justice's prison."
Jing Rong grunted in acknowledgment.
At this time, Ji Yunshu had already gone upstairs, but before she could enter the crime scene, she was blocked by several swords.
The soldiers of Qujiang were very sturdy, and each of them looked like a fiend.
"Everyone, please make way." Ji Yunshu spoke in a polite tone.
"It was your Great Lin's general who killed our general. Now, you sent people like you to touch our general's corpse. Don't even think about it!" One of the soldiers fiercely said.
'People like me?
People like me? '
Ji Yunshu didn't get angry. She shook her head and patiently persuaded them. "If you want to know who killed your general, then let me in to take a look. I don't want to stain my hands with blood."
"The murderer is your Great Lin's general. Why do you still want to investigate? We won't let you in."
"Why can't you understand?"
It was really a headache!
The soldier didn't listen and gritted his teeth. "Hurry up and leave."
After saying that, he tried to push her away.
"Stop!"
A voice came from the second floor.
She looked over and saw a servant pushing Su Ziluo over.
"Teacher Su!" The soldiers respectfully greeted him.
Su Ziluo looked at Ji Yunshu coldly and said, "The general's corpse is inside. Teacher Ji, go in."
When the Qujiang soldiers heard this, they couldn't accept it.
"Teacher Su, you are …"
"All of you, get out of the way. Leave this matter to Teacher Ji. I believe that he will definitely find the murderer."
The soldiers didn't dare to refute. After hesitating for a while, they retreated to the side.
Ji Yunshu's gaze once again landed on Su Ziluo. At such a close distance, she could see him more clearly.
His eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, thin lips, everything was too similar!
"Teacher Ji?"
