Half and Half
Jiu 'er!
She had always been Zhao Huai and Zhao Qing's weak spot!
It was more like a thorn, ruthlessly stabbing into the hearts of the two people.
Ever since Jiu 'er's death, Zhao Qing hadn't mentioned her even half a word.
Now, he had to pull out this weak spot that he didn't want to touch. His expression darkened as his mind raced.
Ji Yunshu saw his hesitation.
He picked up a withered straw beside him and swept it across the damp ground.
"It's fine if Second Master doesn't want to talk about it. After all, there are some things that are hidden in people's hearts. They can't be said, nor are they willing to talk about it."
"Do you understand?"
"Why wouldn't I understand?"
Ji Yunshu sneered. She tilted her head and lowered her gaze. Her heart was filled with a layer of fog that couldn't be erased. It was obviously weightless, yet it pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She slowly said, "Everyone has things hidden in their hearts. Things that can be said and things that can't be said, they are all hidden away. The more it accumulates, the heavier it becomes. It's like a knife cutting into a person's heart. Even the slightest movement will cause unbearable pain."
She sighed.
Old General Li's words about the Little Heir, the tiger seal, and the real reason for Kong Yu's suicide …
Each and every one of them was fiercely hidden in her heart. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
Ji Yunshu's poetic words took a while for Zhao Qing to digest them.
He frowned, the words bubbling in his throat for a long time.
He slowly said, "Jiu 'er grew up with us. She was brought back by my father when she was very young. She grew up in the village, and the three of us were never separated. She was our little sister, our family. But when we grew up, I discovered that I had already fallen in love with Jiu' er. But the one Jiu 'er liked was Zhao Huai. I don't know if it's a prank, but Zhao Huai only treated her like a little sister.
But when my father was still alive, he had already betrothed Jiu 'er to Zhao Huai. So a year ago, they got married in the village. That night, Jiu' er died in the bridal chamber. Her body was covered in blood, and she had been stabbed in the chest. Zhao Huai was beside her, holding a bloody sword in his hand. He said that he didn't kill her, but he wouldn't tell me what happened. I carried Jiu 'er's body out, and from that day on, I left this place. "
After saying this, Zhao Qing's eyes reddened with tears.
It could be seen that he really liked Jiu Er.
"I know better than anyone what kind of person Zhao Huai is. He wouldn't kill people for no reason, much less Jiu 'er. But he didn't say anything. He only said that he didn't kill Jiu' er. He didn't say anything else, but all the evidence points to him. I can't help but believe what I see."
He was a little excited!
Ji Yunshu pondered over his words, then asked, "At that time, were there only the two of them in the room?"
Zhao Qing shook his head. "I don't know. In any case, when I went in, there were only the two of them."
His face was full of worry and worry.
Ji Yunshu continued, "Then, did you burn Jiu 'er's body? Or did you bury it? "
"I buried it."
"It's good that the body is still there."
"Can you help me determine the cause of Jiu 'er's death?"
"Half and half!"
'Half and half?'
Zhao Qing didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu didn't play dumb with him. She directly said, "This humble one isn't omnipotent. If I could be sure of everything, would there still be misjudged cases in this world?"
Did he really think she was a machine?
Did he really think that those cases were questions that could be answered by a machine like her?
Zhao Qing was a rough man. It was widely rumored that Teacher Ji was extremely intelligent. He could solve the missing girls case and the Lin Capital case. He was practically omnipotent!
He said, "Since you said half and half, how can you be sure that you can find out the identity of the skeleton in the urn? How can you know who the murderer is?"
Ji Yunshu muttered to herself for a moment, then looked at him.
"I won't hide it from Second Master. If I wanted to find out the identity of a skeleton without a head, I wouldn't have an accurate actuarial calculation or a high-end advanced machine. It would be very difficult to rely on my hands and my eyes alone."
"You really aren't afraid of death. You can even boast like this."
Even though her back was injured and her body hurt when she moved, Ji Yunshu still endured the pain. She was tickled by his words and laughed, her body trembling slightly in response.
She smiled and bluntly said, "You're wrong. I'm afraid of death."
Her voice was mellow.
Zhao Qing frowned and stared at her.
Ji Yunshu explained, "If I didn't say that, First Master would have already killed me."
"Are you trying to stall for time and wait for Prince Rong to come and save you?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "My young master killed so many of First Master's subordinates. Although he was forced to do so, it was still a human life. If he comes to save me, he will certainly bring people from the government. At that time, won't blood flow like a river? Revenge breeds revenge, when will it end? "
"If that's not the case, then what do you plan to do?"
"As long as First Master agrees to my conditions, I will naturally solve this matter when I find out the truth about the skeleton in the urn."
Huh?
"Didn't you say that the skeleton has no head and that you can't find out who it is?"
Zhao Qing was confused by her words.
Ji Yunshu said, "When did I say that I can't find out? I only said that it will be difficult, but not impossible. "
"Every bone in the human body is connected. Whether it is the length of the femur or the width of the shoulder, all 206 bones in the human body are closely related. Although there is no head, we can still use the size of a person's pelvis to determine the general curvature of the jaw and the height of the forehead. As for the other bones in the skull, we can also determine them based on the other bones in the skeleton. This way, we can form a portrait of a person."
What 206 bones?
What pelvis?
What a mess!
Zhao Qing didn't quite understand what they were saying, but he got the gist of what they were saying.
He firmly said, "Fine. As long as you can find out who it is, I will do my best to help you. Even if I have to use my Jade Extraction Bottle to make a deal, I will not hesitate. I will make Zhao Huai agree to your conditions. However, you must also agree to help me investigate the cause of Jiu 'er's death after this matter is over."
"Deal."
It was very straightforward!
One wanted to leave this place alive, while the other wanted to know the true cause of Jiu 'er's death.
Mutually beneficial, win-win cooperation.
At this time!
Zhao Qing took out a bottle of medicine and threw it on a nearby haystack. It rolled onto Ji Yunshu's robe.
"You should quickly apply some medicine. This medicine will ensure that you won't feel any pain. Otherwise, if you die, who am I going to ask for help? I can't leave right now, and Zhao Huai's people are watching me. I can't find a doctor for you. Just use this medicine. "
Ji Yunshu reached out and picked up the bottle, twirling it between her fingers.
Look!
She opened the bottle and sniffed it.
