Sometimes Normal, Sometimes Crazy
Li Mingzhou waited anxiously in the yamen's court.
When Fang Mingsan brought the man from the backyard, he quickly walked up and pulled the man behind him.
He wanted to protect him, but at the same time, he wanted to hide!
He even whispered, "Ah Yuan, why are you running around? Didn't I tell you to stay in the house? This isn't our mansion. What are you doing here? "
The man didn't listen to him at all. Instead, he hid behind Li Mingzhou, shaking his head and muttering the same words.
Li Mingzhou looked at the crowd and bowed gratefully.
He cupped his hands and said, "My younger brother ran into the yamen for no reason and offended everyone. Please forgive him. I will take him away now and won't disturb you any further."
He was about to pull the man away when Ji Yunshu called out to him.
"Please wait, Master Li. You can't take him away for the time being."
Li Mingzhou turned around in surprise and sized up the lean man in front of him.
This man had delicate features and looked wise. His eyes, especially, were bright and compact. If one looked at them for too long, it would make one's heart tremble.
It was as if those eyes were the hands of a ripper, ready to reach into one's body at any time.
"Teacher, is there anything else?" he asked.
"Master Li, I would like to know more about your younger brother."
He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "My younger brother's name is Li Yuan, and he's my biological younger brother. Because he was delirious and made a fool of himself, he barged into the yamen. May I know why Teacher wants to know about this?"
"I just want to ask if Master Li can tell me more about him."
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
"Please explain, Master Li."
He had to say it even if he didn't want to!
Li Mingzhou clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him and became vigilant.
It was clear that Ji Yunshu was forcing his hand.
Unfortunately, he couldn't push her away.
After all, he was surrounded by people from the yamen and Prince Rong's men. All of them were staring at him like ropes, tying him up.
However, he still had to be confident and principled!
No, we just can't say it.
Hence —
Li Mingzhou said, "Mister, Ah Yuan's brain was injured a few years ago, and I don't want to talk about it. It's just some old stories, and I hope you can forgive me for bringing them up. It was an accident that Ah Yuan came here today, and I don't want to disturb you anymore. I'll take my leave."
He grabbed Li Yuan's hand and turned around to leave.
Shi Ziran was a few steps faster. Straightening his back, he stood in front of Mo Ruo and deliberately raised his sword.
If you want to leave, you need my sword's permission!
Li Mingzhou was not afraid. He was also a person who had been through great storms. He turned around and looked around, then put on a serious expression.
"It seems that if I don't say something today, I won't be able to leave."
That's right!
He intentionally pulled Li Yuan behind him.
"Li Mingzhou, since you won't let us go, you should know what's going on. Why are you still hiding it? Li Mingzhou, since you won't let us go, you should know what's going on. Why are you still hiding it? If you don't tell me the secrets in your heart, you won't be able to sleep well. If I were you, I would tell you everything in detail so that I can feel more at ease. "
"I don't have anything to hide."
"Oh? Then can you explain why Li Yuan kept saying that the ghost was after his life? "
"He's not in his right mind. Who would take his nonsense to heart?"
"Then why is there an ink stain on his sleeve that's exactly the same as the one on Chang Shiliang's clothes?"
When Jing Rong said this, he hurriedly looked at Li Yuan's sleeve with a puzzled expression.
"What's this?"
Ji Yunshu continued, "This is the ink stain of a daisy plant. There's also an identical ink stain on Old Master Chang's clothes."
"What does that prove? Don't tell me you suspect Ah Yuan to be the murderer? Yesterday, you suspected me, and now you suspect Ah Yuan? Let me tell you, this person is not his. " His nostrils flared up as he said angrily, "Moreover, we have this kind of ink in our Li Residence. What's so strange about Ah Yuan touching it?"
"You're lying!"
Jing Rong immediately refuted his words.
"This Prince has already sent people to your Li Residence to investigate. Not to mention ink mixed with daisy plant, there's not even a single stalk of daisy plant."
Li Mingzhou was visibly nervous when his lie was exposed.
Ji Yunshu looked at Jing Rong in surprise. Why didn't you say so earlier if you already knew?
He could feel Ji Yunshu's burning gaze on him, but he pretended not to see it.
My dear, I'll kneel on a washboard tonight!
She then turned to Li Mingzhou, "Li Mingzhou, you can prove that you didn't kill anyone, but that doesn't mean that Li Yuan didn't kill anyone."
"He didn't kill anyone!" Li Mingzhou roared.
He had never felt so agitated before.
Ji Yunshu said, "Old Master Li, these three cases seem to have nothing to do with you on the surface, but all the evidence shows that you're definitely related to them. As for Li Yuan, first, he said that the ghost was after his life. Second, the ink stain on his clothes shows that not only you, but both of you are related to this murder case."
"I told you, we didn't kill anyone."
Ji Yunshu smiled, "Although the murderer's methods are very sophisticated, knowing to take off the victim's shoes and put them on, creating the illusion that the victim was hanged, it's not something an ordinary person can do. It's hard to say that Li Yuan did it, but whether he's really stupid, or if he's sometimes normal and sometimes crazy, that's something that needs further research." She then looked at Mo Ruo, "Fortunately, we have a divine doctor here. If he can take his pulse and diagnose, we'll know whether he's really stupid or not. Sometimes he's normal, sometimes crazy. "
Mo Ruo nodded, agreeing to her words, and stepped forward to take Li Yuan's pulse.
Who knew …
Li Mingzhou immediately blocked Mo Ruo's path.
"There's no need for Young Master to worry."
Mo Ruo lazily glanced at the person behind him, raising his eyebrows, "Could it be … you have a guilty conscience?"
"I …"
Before he could finish, Mo Ruo pointed his index finger at Li Yuan, then twirled his finger in the air, his eyes narrowed.
He even clicked his tongue a few times.
Everyone was dumbfounded by his actions!
"Based on this Young Master's many years of experience as a doctor, this person's glabella is dark, his cheeks are sunken, and his lips are drooping. It's obvious that he's in for a great disaster."
Do you think this is fortune-telling?
Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him, "Speak human language."
"Li Yuan isn't completely stupid. Most of the time, he's actually clear-headed. In other words, sometimes he's normal, and sometimes he's crazy."
Ah!
Ji Yunshu concluded after hearing Mo Ruo's words, "In other words, this entire set of killing methods is completely possible when he's a normal person."
Then …
Fang Mingsan hurriedly said.
"Then he's the murderer."
He pointed at Li Yuan.
At this moment, Li Yuan was still mumbling, "The ghosts are here to claim our lives."
His voice became softer and softer, more and more terrified.
Li Mingzhou, under the siege of the crowd, comforted his younger brother while fiercely saying, "Ah Yuan didn't kill anyone."
Li Yuan was already squatting on the ground, hugging his head, his body trembling even more violently.
Li Mingzhou hurriedly took out an exquisite bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
