Everyone's Argument
Everyone's Argument
You don't know?
Minister Liang demanded, "Say it again!"
The shopkeeper paused, then continued, "The shop was in a mess at the time, and there were so many people. I really couldn't see clearly."
As she spoke, she lowered her head even more.
Just as she finished speaking, the maid who had been guarding Miss Liang's body spoke up.
"You're lying. That's not what you said in the shop just now. You told me yourself that she was the one who pushed our young miss. Why are you changing your words now?"
The shopkeeper's eyes quivered as she hurriedly waved her hands to explain.
"I was frightened just now, that's why I blurted it out. But now that I think about it, I actually didn't see clearly. Moreover, the floor was slippery. It's possible that Miss Liang slipped and fell on her own."
Her voice grew softer and softer, afraid that she would be the one to blame.
The other two women hurriedly echoed, "Yes, there were too many people at that time. The two of them were fighting together, and we didn't see clearly. We only know that someone died, and the ground was really slippery. I even fell."
"Yes, yes! I fell too. That Miss Liang must have fallen by accident. She can't blame anyone else. "
"Her eyes are always on top of her head, so it's normal that she didn't see where she was going."
… …
When the maid heard this, she leaned on her young miss's body and cried even harder.
Was her young miss so unlucky that she slipped and fell on her own?
Minister Liang was still grieving, but when he heard the shopkeeper's words, his face turned green.
Flustered and exasperated, he almost reached for the officer's sword again. Fortunately, the capital governor stopped him.
He tried to persuade him, "Lord Liang, since there's no proof, we can't conclude that it was that young miss who pushed her. You …"
The capital governor was worried sick!
"My daughter died so tragically. Are we just going to let this murder case go?"
"This matter …"
Before the capital governor could finish, he was interrupted by Ji Muqing's sharp voice.
With his two elder brothers as his safe haven, he was naturally more confident.
She straightened her body and said arrogantly, "I told you I didn't push him. There were so many people around, and I was pushed in the back, but I didn't die, did I? Who would fall after being pushed by someone? She slipped and fell on her own. Don't blame it on me. I won't kill anyone. "
You are the most capable!
Those small eyes were like those of a cat, twice as bright!
Minister Liang's face and ears were red, and tears were streaming down his cheeks. With a wave of his sleeve, he slapped his thigh.
"What a sin! How sinful! "
Two consecutive sounds!
She walked weakly to the side of her daughter's body, sobbing.
So, this matter was considered settled?
After all, even the witness had changed his direction. What could they do?
Ji Li pulled Ji Muqing back and warned her softly, "Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
"Big Brother, I …"
"If there's anything, we can talk about it when we get back."
"En!"
She nodded.
Ji Li then walked to Minister Liang's side and said with concern, "Lord Liang, the dead cannot come back to life. My condolences."
'Condolences your sister!'
However, Minister Liang was too grief-stricken and did not pay attention to Ji Li. His heart was burning with rage.
He hated her!
Just as Ji Li was about to leave the capital governor's office with Ji Muqing —
Ji Muqing had long noticed Ji Yunshu standing at the side. She walked over and raised her chin.
"Don't think that just because you helped me at the rouge shop, you are a sinner of the Ji family. I will let you off for now, but next time, I will make you pay."
"Whatever."
Ji Li replied indifferently.
She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ji Yunshu's reply. Her lips curled into a cold smile as she walked to Ji Yunshu's ear.
"Big Brother and Second Brother can't do anything to you, but that doesn't mean I can't. You also saw the result of provoking me: death."
'Oh my, I am really scared.'
Ji Yunshu glanced at her. 'Crazy.'
"It would be great if you were so capable, but I'm afraid your two brothers are helping you from behind."
"What do you mean?"
"It's only been an hour, but the story has changed. Even a fool would know why!"
Ji Muqing heaved a sigh of relief.
She was not a fool!
Because she knew why!
Undoubtedly, it was because of what Ji Yunshu had said. She had two good brothers, and they must have made preparations before coming.
In short, she did not need to bear the blame. She felt at ease, tidied up her loose hair, and turned to leave.
Just as she turned around, Ji Yunshu saw a small bloodstain on her back. It seemed that the thread had come loose, and the bead that was originally embedded there was gone.
Could it be —
Did Ji Muqing scratch off the bead during her fight with Miss Liang? Was it because of this that she scratched her skin and left such a small bloodstain?
After everyone had left, Ji Yunshu walked to Miss Liang's corpse.
She knelt down and said to Minister Liang, "Lord Liang, Miss Liang is already dead. Even if you are sad, it is impossible for her to come back to life."
Minister Liang sobbed as he looked at her. "Teacher Ji, was my daughter's death really an accident?"
"I took a look just now. She really slipped and fell. As for whether she was pushed or not, I'm not sure."
"Aren't you good at investigating cases? Please help me. "
He looked at her with a pleading expression.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment, then recalled the small bloodstain on Ji Muqing's back. "Let me see the corpse."
"Okay." Minister Liang nodded and quickly retreated to the side.
She lifted the white cloth.
Ji Yunshu checked Miss Liang's hands, face, neck, and even her clothes.
For someone like Ji Muqing, who was so concerned about her clothes, it was impossible for her to not notice a bead falling off her clothes. Therefore, the bead must have fallen off during the fight.
But …
There were no bloodstains on Miss Liang's body.
But it was impossible for Ji Muqing to scratch it off herself. Then, where did the bloodstain come from?
"Teacher Ji, did you find anything?"
She shook her head and covered it with the white cloth. "I'm sorry, there is nothing."
"In other words, my daughter really fell on her own?"
Ji Yunshu didn't answer. To tell the truth, she didn't see it, and the witnesses also said they didn't see it.
Everyone said they were right, and everyone said they were right. Only the heavens knew.
"Lord Liang, hurry up and carry Miss Liang's body back for a proper burial."
Minister Liang's eyes drooped as he wept again.
Soon after, Ji Yunshu left the capital magistrate's office.
At this moment, Wei Yi was sitting beside the stone lion, waiting for her.
"Let's go." Ji Yunshu picked a direction.
He immediately got up and followed her. He whispered in her ear, "Shu 'er, I saw Big Brother Ji and Big Brother Ji Huan go in. Did you see them?"
"Yes, I saw them!"
"Did you talk?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"…"
