Because of You
Meanwhile, Ji Yunshu had been waiting in her room, waiting to hear the news Jing Rong brought from the palace.
The whole morning passed quickly.
Perhaps because she was lost in thought, two maids came in with food and placed it in front of her.
"Teacher Ji, you haven't eaten for the whole morning. You should eat a little, or your body won't be able to take it."
"No need!"
At this time, how could she still have the appetite to eat?
On one hand, it was the case, and on the other hand, it was Su Ziluo's matter.
She sighed.
"Teacher, what's wrong? You've been like this since the morning. Did something happen? "
She shook her head.
"Is Teacher in a bad mood?"
She shook her head.
The maid scratched her head and stopped asking. Seeing that Ji Yunshu was not in the mood to talk, she shrugged her shoulders and asked, "Teacher Ji, when is Young Master Wei coming back? He's been gone for a few days. "
Ji Yunshu's brows twitched at the mention of Wei Yi. She replied, "It'll be a while."
"Oh! Without Young Master Wei, this place is much more deserted. "
"…"
There was no response. The maid did not disturb her and turned to leave.
But …
Her foot had just reached the doorsill.
"Wait!"
Ji Yunshu suddenly shouted.
The maid jumped in fright. She did not dare to withdraw her foot and continued to raise it with trembling hands.
She was shocked. "Teacher … What … What's wrong?"
Ji Yunshu hurriedly walked over. Her eyes were fixed on the maid's foot. Suddenly, a shocking thought came to her mind.
Immediately, he took out the painting that he had just drawn.
She whispered, "If it's a footprint, then … it's a woman's footprint."
Ah!
That scared her.
Every corner of the relay station was meticulously cleaned, and Yuchi Lin did not allow anyone to enter his room. Therefore, this footprint was definitely not left by Yuchi Lin before he moved in.
The only people who entered his room were Su Ziluo and Ji Li. But their feet were obviously not that small!
In other words …
There was another person in the room.
A woman!
The maid did not dare to put her foot down. Her body swayed.
"Sir, can I put my feet down?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out of the room and once again went to the relay station.
He hurriedly went to Yuchi Lin's room.
The corpse was still on the bed, but it was a little rotten and smelly.
She wrinkled her nose, walked over, and lifted the white cloth.
The stench of the corpse became even more pungent. Yuchi Lin's face was stiff, as if he had lost weight overnight. His cheekbones were visible.
His skin was also as dark as a lime!
It was rather miserable!
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything. She picked up the head again and carefully examined the incision.
Because a few days had passed, the skin and flesh around the incision had tightened. Because of this, she discovered something that she hadn't noticed before.
The answer in his heart had already been decided.
But …
"How could it be her?"
His tone was obviously surprised.
At this time, Su Ziluo's voice came from behind.
"When did you come, sir?"
She hugged the head and turned around to see Su Ziluo standing at the door.
He had just returned from the Peach Blossom Spring!
Ji Yunshu looked at him with an incredulous expression. She couldn't believe it.
Su Ziluo was an intelligent person and had already guessed it.
He rolled his wheelchair into the room. Li 'er didn't follow him in and obediently closed the door.
Only he and Ji Yunshu were left in the room.
Ji Yunshu hugged the head and coldly asked Su Ziluo, "Why?"
"Why? What do you mean, Teacher Ji? "
"You don't need to quibble with me. You know the whole thing from the beginning to the end."
Su Ziluo was as calm as ever. "What is Teacher trying to say?"
"General Yuchi's head was actually injured twice." Ji Yunshu pointed the incision to him and said confidently, "General Yuchi's head was injured twice."
"Oh?"
"Before he was beheaded by a sword, his neck was injured by a small scimitar. It was cut by a sword in the same place within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, so it's hard to tell. However, after twenty-four hours, the wounds caused by two different weapons would be oxidized in the air. Blood would coagulate and scab would form on the surface, forming two folds on the surface. Simply put, it's because of the depth of the wound that the two wounds would contract and separate."
She pointed at the incision on Yuchi Lin's head.
Indeed, near the Adam's apple, the skin and flesh had contracted, revealing two scars.
Su Ziluo listened quietly, not intending to interrupt her. Instead, his face was full of interest.
Ji Yunshu took out the painting she had drawn. The blood in her hand stood on the white paper, forming a five-fingered handprint that was connected by the blood.
She continued, "I always thought that this print belonged to someone from the relay station, but I was wrong. This print belongs to a woman."
Su Ziluo raised his brows and indifferently asked, "Then, who does Teacher think it was?"
"Kong Yu!"
Ji Yunshu was very certain.
Su Ziluo smiled when he heard this name. "Why?"
"On the day of the banquet, I saw the pair of shoes she wore. At first, I couldn't figure out what it was, but when I remembered that it was a woman's footprint, I remembered and was even more certain that it was left behind by Kong Yu. She came that night."
"Did Teacher forget? Didn't the soldiers at the relay station say that no one else came that night except for Ji Li? "
"That's because Teacher Su had already told them, so no one dared to say anything."
"Oh? Then why did I do that? "
"Do you want me to explain everything clearly?" Ji Yunshu was agitated, her eyes glistening with tears.
After putting down the head, she took a few steps closer to Su Ziluo and sniffed.
She told General Yuchi that she didn't want to marry to Qujiang and hoped that he would report to the Emperor to choose someone else. That way, she wouldn't be implicated and she would be able to escape unscathed. Of course, she came with the determination to die, but General Yuchi didn't agree. In a moment of desperation, she used the scimitar she brought and slashed his neck. General Yuchi was furious and forced her to the back of the door. Coincidentally, the handkerchief in her sleeve fell to the ground and she stepped on it. Half of her blood fell on the handkerchief, while the other half fell on the dust behind the door. "
After listening, Su Ziluo asked, "Then, how did she leave at that time? Where did that handkerchief go? "
