Guanyin Seal
Just as she was wondering —
First Madam asked her, "Teacher Ji? For Lord Liu to bring you here, there must be something special about you. This case has clearly been closed, so why did you still cut open my master's body? "
Ji Yunshu said, "The coroner who came to your mansion to examine the corpse did indeed find out that Old Master Zhang was poisoned by Yinshuang Poison, but the poison took effect ten hours later. Logically speaking, Old Master Zhang shouldn't have died so quickly after drinking that cup of tea. Thus, after this humble one understood the situation, I brought a divine physician friend with me to your mansion. As expected, that divine physician found out that Old Master Zhang was poisoned by the tea and died.
However, there was only Silver Frost in the teacup that the suspect presented. If that was the case, where did the Tea Poison come from? Furthermore, the Tea Poison can only cause death if it is in a person's bloodstream. However, I did not find any wounds on Old Master Zhang's body. Therefore, in order to verify that the Tea Poison entered through the throat, I cut open Old Master Zhang's throat to examine his laryngeal bones. However, I discovered that the Tea Poison did not enter through the throat. "
First Madam smiled coldly and said, "Before I came here, I heard that your divine doctor took your pulse and found out about it. A dead person actually needs to feel the pulse? Is he really a divine doctor? "
"Dead people have no meridians. I also agree with this point. But Madam, you don't have to worry. If that Godly Doctor can say that it's Tea Poison, then it's Tea Poison. If Madam doesn't believe me, you can find a doctor to examine the corpse."
Only the heavens knew how Mo Ruo managed to find out. He didn't even have a pulse, yet he still went to take it.
This was probably the difference between a divine doctor and a quack.
First Madam hesitated for a moment and then believed him. However —
"Then after investigating so much, doesn't it mean that you didn't investigate at all?"
"That's not it."
Ji Yunshu showed her the broken piece of porcelain in her handkerchief.
"These are the porcelain fragments I found on Old Master Zhang's body."
"Broken porcelain?"
"That's right, it was on Old Master Zhang's clothes. I also found some cat fur on the broken pieces of porcelain. Presumably, last night, when Old Master Zhang returned to his room to change his clothes, he happened to see a cat. Because Old Master Zhang hates cats, he wanted to throw the cat out. The cat was shocked and ran around, knocking over the broken pieces of porcelain in the room."
What he said was as good as nothing!
First Madam said disdainfully, "But you still haven't told me where the so-called Tea Poison came from. In my opinion, you are simply spouting nonsense. What divine doctor? It's not credible at all. "
"Madam, you've misunderstood my logic. I'm asking you a question. “
"Hmm?"
"If Old Master Zhang hates cats, then why did a cat appear in his room last night?"
Ugh!
First Madam's eyes narrowed slightly. She turned to look at him and said coldly, "Normally, someone would keep an eye on the cats and not come here. But it was Old Master's birthday last night, so they neglected it. What's so strange about that?"
"Of course it's not strange. I just want to thank Madam for answering a question for me."
Ji Yunshu's words carried a deeper meaning.
It was very strange!
Just as First Madam was about to speak —
"First Madam, bad news, bad news …" Suddenly, a manservant ran over in a hurry.
First Madam immediately went out with the cat in her arms.
She interrogated the manservant, "What happened?"
"The thing, the thing is missing. The Guanyin Seal in the estate is missing."
"What?"
First Madam was shocked.
She swung her arms and flung the cat out of her arms.
The cat scuttled on the ground a few times before running away.
First Madam stared at the manservant with a sharp gaze. "Speak clearly. What do you mean by the Guanyin Seal is missing?"
The manservant trembled in fear. He lowered his head and bent over. His hands hung by his side as he stammered, "I just went to the ancestral hall and found that the Guanyin Seal … is missing. I sent people to search for it for a long time, but they couldn't find it. First Madam, could it have been stolen during Old Master's birthday last night?"
First Madam's face was filled with anxiety and anger.
She pushed the manservant away and hurried over.
Inside the room, Jing Rong walked to Ji Yunshu's side.
He asked, "Looks like you have something else to say."
She glanced at him and nodded slightly.
"There are indeed some things that I don't understand."
"It's time for you to go to the prison."
She had to admit that Jing Rong had been with her for so long that he even knew her tricks.
Ji Yunshu responded with a smile.
She didn't say anything.
While First Madam was at the ancestral hall, Liu Zhiliang told Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong that the Guanyin Seal was the Zhang family's heirloom. It was passed down from generation to generation and was priceless. It was said that the Guanyin Seal could buy twenty to thirty Anfu Counties.
Therefore, the Zhang Estate had always enshrined it in the ancestral hall and passed it down from generation to generation.
Now that the Guanyin Seal was gone, it was equivalent to losing a family business. It would be strange if First Madam wasn't worried.
Not long after, the news of the Guanyin Seal being lost spread throughout the estate.
First Madam searched the entire estate and even beat up a few guards in the ancestral hall, but to no avail.
She even told Liu Zhiliang, "Lord Liu, as the county magistrate of Anfu, you have to recover the item."
Her tone was very forceful, leaving no room for negotiation.
Liu Zhiliang said, "First Madam, Old Master Zhang's death is still …"
"He's dead and the culprit has been found. The most important thing now is the Guanyin Seal of the Zhang Estate. Your yamen must help me recover it."
His tone was very cold when he said this.
It was as if his husband's death was not important to him at all.
Liu Zhiliang didn't know what to say. He squeezed his way to Ji Yunshu's side and asked, "Teacher Ji, what's the conclusion of this case? If it's closed, then this official will have to investigate the missing case. "
"Lord Liu, if you want to investigate, then go ahead. After all, there is no conflict between the two cases." Ji Yunshu walked to First Madam and said, "Madam, there are still doubts about Old Master Zhang's death. This one promises that the culprit will be found tomorrow morning."
First Madam trembled.
"…"
She cupped her hands politely and left with Jing Rong.
But …
When she passed by the mourning hall, Ji Yunshu went in again.
She came out after a while.
Jing Rong didn't know why she went in. But he didn't ask.
Ji Yunshu only said, "There are some pieces of evidence that I need to hear from Miss Zhan Mo herself."
Little girl!
She's still keeping me in suspense!
Jing Rong was curious, but he also felt that this case was very interesting.
He didn't know when it started, but he actually felt that following Ji Yunshu to solve cases had become a kind of enjoyment. He also liked to see her serious face when she solved cases.
He had to admit that she was very charming.
He actually smiled at this thought.
Ji Yunshu heard it.
She turned around and asked sternly, "Do you think there's a smell on me?"
