Chapter 220: Looking at the Soles
The capital governor thought he had misheard and asked, "Teacher Ji, are you saying that I should let these Qujiang people expose their feet?"
This hobby was unheard of!
Ji Yunshu nodded.
The people of Qujiang all had very bad tempers. Even when the Capital Governor was about to enter the crime scene, he was stopped by them. If this relay station wasn't located in the Great Lin, the Capital Governor would have already been thrown out of the building, drenched in blood. Not to mention the fact that he had been asked to complete this impossible task. "That's right."
He had an awkward expression on his face. "Teacher Ji, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. General Yuchi just died, and these people are still angry. It's impossible!"
"But this is very important."
"Is it related to the murder case?"
"Yes!" She nodded.
The capital governor thought for a moment, but he still had an awkward expression. He didn't know what to do.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu gave up. She sighed and said, "Forget it. Milord has an official position. Besides, these Qujiang soldiers are too stubborn. I'll think of a way myself."
"Teacher Ji wants to …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Ji Yunshu lifted her gown and went upstairs. The guards didn't stop her. After all, Su Ziluo had ordered her to investigate this case.
She stopped in front of a soldier and asked, "Which room is Teacher Su in?"
The soldier glanced at her and pointed to a room.
Ji Yunshu walked to the door of the room and lightly knocked twice.
"Come in!" A gentle voice called out.
She pushed the door open and saw Su Ziluo sitting in front of the open window with his back facing her. The light fell on his body, giving off a surreal feeling. His figure gradually faded away, then slowly appeared again.
This kind of man always carried a faint melancholy, making people unable to see through him. Yet, she was curious to know more about him.
However, just as Ji Yunshu's heart was filled with this feeling, another person in the room broke it.
"Shu 'er? Why are you here? "
Who else could it be but Li Shiyan's voice?
He was really everywhere!
But it was also reasonable to be here. He knew Su Ziluo, which meant that he wasn't an ordinary person.
If Ji Yunshu hadn't retreated a few steps to the side, she reckoned that he would have shamelessly embraced her.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Li Shiyan's face was full of resentment.
Ji Yunshu sighed. She was too lazy to pay attention to him. Her gaze swept past him and fell on Su Ziluo.
Su Ziluo turned his wheelchair around and met her gaze.
"Has Teacher Ji returned to investigate the case? Did I miss something? "That voice was as pleasant as ever.
It felt numb and numb!
Ji Yunshu walked over and went straight to the point. "Since Teacher Su has said that I will be in charge of this case, I hope that Teacher Su will cooperate."
"Oh? How do we cooperate? "
"I need to see the feet of all the Qujiang soldiers in this relay station."
Look at my feet?
Su Ziluo was not shocked, but Li Shiyan, who was at the side, had a strange expression. He cried out in alarm, "Shu 'er, why do you want those big men's feet?"
"Because it's related to the murder case. I need to see it," he answered without further explanation.
"Could it be that you can find out who killed Yuchi Lin just by looking at his feet?"
"No, I just want to verify it."
Ji Yunshu looked at Su Ziluo. Her words seemed to be a reply to Li Shiyan, but in fact, they were directed at Su Ziluo.
Li Shiyan was puzzled, but he simply sat down and drank a mouthful of tea.
After a long time, Su Ziluo said, "Good. As long as we can find the murderer, Teacher Su can do whatever you want!"
Ji Yunshu cupped her hands. "Thank you, Teacher Su."
Soon, Su Ziluo ordered everyone to gather on the first floor. There weren't many Qujiang soldiers. This time, they only brought a dozen or so.
Each of them unwillingly stretched out their feet.
Ji Yunshu carefully looked at them one by one.
Among the crowd, there were whispers.
"What are these Great Lin people trying to do? Why are they looking at our feet for no reason? "
"Why do you care so much? In short, it's Teacher Su's order. We just need to follow it. "
"That's strange. What is the relationship between this surnamed Ji and Teacher Su?"
"You want to know?"
"You want to know? Quickly tell me! "His tone was impatient.
The soldier tilted his head and sneered. "I don't know either."
Thus, the soldier received a punch on the back of his hand.
This slight tone could not be heard if one didn't listen carefully. However, Su Ziluo's ears were extremely sensitive, so he heard the entire conversation between the two soldiers.
Thus, he gently pressed the handle of the wheelchair.
Two silver needles, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly shot out, piercing through the soldiers in front of him and stabbing into the waists of two soldiers. Then, the two soldiers softly gasped.
Their bodies stiffened.
They stopped moving.
No one noticed this small interlude.
Ji Yunshu carefully inspected the feet of these people, looking at them one by one.
These men's feet were very thick, and each of them was wearing size 48 shoes.
She thought she was overthinking, but …
When she saw the last foot, her eyes stopped. That foot was very small.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the tall and burly Qujiang soldier in front of her. "Your feet are very small," she said.
The soldier swallowed his saliva and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he still looked up and said, "My feet have always been small."
"Then let me ask you. Have you ever entered your general's room?"
"No!"
"Is there really nothing?"
"Of course not. The general gave the order. Without his order, no one can enter his room. Everyone knows that." The soldier's answer was very smooth, and it did not seem like he was lying.
This made Ji Yunshu somewhat puzzled.
Su Ziluo, who was behind her, also spoke. "He didn't lie. Besides me and War Secretary Ji, no one else has entered General Yuchi's room. Even the servant who came to the relay station to deliver wine only stood at the door."
If it was someone else, Ji Yunshu would have doubted it. But she didn't know why she trusted Su Ziluo. She had a strange feeling that she couldn't understand.
Perhaps, it was because he was too similar to Ji Pei?
Or perhaps, his voice was too similar to Ji Pei's?
She shook her head inwardly. She might be overthinking.
Thus, she solemnly said to the soldier, "Show me the soles of your shoes."
The soldier was very obedient. He took off his shoes and showed them to Ji Yunshu.
In an instant, the air was filled with the faint smell of feet. Ji Yunshu frowned. She held her breath and looked at the soles of the shoes.
The pattern on the soles of the shoes was completely different from the one she had drawn.
'Is this the end of the trail?'
"Have you seen enough?" the soldier asked.
She nodded.
The soldier put on his shoes, but the smell of feet still lingered.
