Since when did you have such a strange habit?
How could a living person run into the yamen from the back door in broad daylight?
Ji Yunshu: "…"
The manservant quickly added, "I'm so sorry, Teacher Ji. I'll chase him out right now."
As he spoke, the manservant forcefully pulled the man out from under the table.
"This is the yamen. Which madman are you from? Why are you here? If you've offended someone, they'll skin you alive. Seriously, hurry up and leave. "
"There's a ghost, there's a ghost, the ghost is here to take my life, the ghost is here to take my life …"
The man tugged hard on the door frame, refusing to leave.
"Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, I'll get someone to carry you out. Hurry up."
The two of them began to argue again.
However, the man was so strong that the door frame creaked as he tugged on it.
There was no clear winner or loser!
Wen Lingyang walked over from behind the table. He didn't know whether to step forward or to stand.
In the end, he remained indifferent.
All he could do was watch!
As the manservant and the man were tugging at each other, Ji Yunshu suddenly noticed a mark on the man's clothes.
She was so sensitive that she immediately grabbed the man's sleeves to check.
Her heart tightened and she frowned.
An inexplicable premonition rose in her heart.
The manservant was probably confused by Ji Yunshu's actions. He let go of the man and stood at the door.
Ji Yunshu's eyes darkened. She asked curiously and seriously, "Who are you?"
The man squatted on the floor, his arms hugging his knees as he repeated the same words.
"The ghost is here to take your life."
The manservant quickly said, "Teacher Ji, let me bring him out. I don't want to disturb you and Advisor Wen."
"There's no need." She stood up. "I'll have to trouble you to invite Young Master Mo over."
"Now?"
"Now."
The manservant scratched his head in confusion, but he still went to get Ji Yunshu.
Wen Lingyang couldn't understand what was going on. He asked, "Teacher Ji, what's going on?"
"You'll know when Young Master Mo arrives."
"Oh."
He shut his mouth and waited to see what would happen.
Not long after, the manservant brought the people over.
Aside from Mo Ruo, there was also Jing Rong and the Shi siblings.
With this imposing manner, were they here for a gang fight?
Jing Rong suppressed his anger when he saw her running all the way from his courtyard.
This woman was really busy all the time!
If he continues like this, he will tire himself out. What will happen to my little Jing Rong then?
But in the next moment, his gaze was attracted by the man squatting beside the door frame!
Mo Ruo swayed his body as he walked over. He narrowed his eyes at the man and furrowed his brows.
He asked Ji Yunshu, "Why did Teacher Ji call me over in such a hurry? Are you planning to have me treat this person? Or should I guess who he is? "
Can you not be so cheap?
Ji Yunshu didn't respond to him. Instead, she pulled up the man's sleeve, but she didn't lift it up to let Mo Ruo see the handprint.
Jing Rong said sarcastically, "Since when did you have such a strange hobby?"
What?
"Tearing off a man's clothes at the drop of a hat. Last time, he brought a piece of clothing from the Chang Clan, but this time, he's taken it from a man."
Damn you!
Tens of thousands of curses ran through Ji Yunshu's mind.
Hey, hey, hey! Did you and Mo Ruo receive professional training with your mouths?!
The words you say can always choke a person to death.
Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes and ignored him. She lifted up the man's sleeve again, indicating Mo Ruo to look at the ink stain.
When Mo Ruo saw it, he immediately understood!
He hurriedly lifted the robe, squatted down, and rubbed the handprint that was neither too big nor too small. Then, he pondered for a moment.
Then, he nodded at Ji Yunshu.
His nod made Ji Yunshu feel goosebumps all over her body.
Moreover, this man was still incessantly muttering, "The ghost is here to take your life."
Mo Ruo asked curiously, "Who is he?"
"I don't know. He ran in by himself."
"Ran in by himself?" Mo Ruo carefully looked at the man and listened to his words. He softly pondered, "The ghost is here to take your life? Could it be … "
He didn't finish his words.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong actually understood.
However, the bystanders still didn't understand. What did it mean?
Ji Yunshu once again instructed the manservant, "Please inform Lord Fang to come over."
"Ah?"
The manservant was dumbfounded.
Jing Rong raised his voice, "Why aren't you going?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes …"
He scrambled away to inform Lord Fang.
Soon —
Fang Mingshan arrived.
Ji Yunshu also explained the ins and outs of the matter to him.
Everyone was enlightened!
"So Teacher Ji means that this lunatic is the murderer?" Fang Mingshan asked.
"I'm not sure, but this person kept muttering about the ghost is here to take your life. His clothes also have the same ink stain as Old Master Chang's. This case might be related to him."
In fact, she didn't have much confidence in herself.
However —
"Then he must be the murderer. A lunatic killing people is already abnormal. Three cases make sense!" Constable Zhang said in a hoarse voice.
Make sense your sister!
Old Zhang, can you not be so impulsive and careless?
Ji Yunshu refuted his words, "A lunatic can kill, but to kill someone in such a meticulous manner is not something a lunatic can do."
Constable Zhang thought for a moment, then pointed at the man on the ground, "Then could he be pretending to be a fool?"
"You're the fool. If he was pretending, he wouldn't have walked right into the yamen."
Come to think of it, it made sense!
Constable Zhang laughed awkwardly. He didn't say anything else, lest others think he was uncultured.
Due to his profession, Wen Lingyang immediately grabbed his notebook and pen and began to jot down notes.
He also threw out a question, "Since Teacher Ji thinks that he might not be the murderer, then what does this case have to do with him?"
Ji Yunshu replied, "He might not be the murderer, but the ghost is not just a rumor. The ink stain on his clothes is also not non-existent. If he is related to the case, I think he might have seen something on the night of Old Master Chang's death. Or more boldly, he might have seen the murderer and had some contact with the murderer. That's why there's this ink stain on his clothes."
Everyone nodded in deep thought.
Fang Mingsan bent down and asked the man, "This official has a question for you. Did you go to the Chang Estate? Did you see the murderer? "
"The ghost is here to claim his life."
"If you know who the murderer is, don't be afraid, just tell me."
"The ghost is here to claim his life."
"Who are you? Why did you appear at the Chang Estate that night? "
"The ghost is here to claim his life."
Sweat!
He couldn't get a single clue out of it.
At this moment, a young constable suddenly ran over.
He panted, "Milord, that … that Li Mingzhou is here."
Hmm?
"What's he doing here? Wasn't he already cleared of all charges? "
"He said he's here to look for his younger brother."
"Younger brother? How could he possibly have a younger brother in my small yamen? Go look elsewhere. "Fang Mingsan waved his sleeves.
However, the young constable's face contorted as he pointed a trembling finger at the man on the ground. "Li Mingzhou said that this man is the younger brother he's looking for."
WHAT？
Not only was this case suspicious, but it was also very complicated!
