He really wasn't the killer!
What a load of nonsense!
She said, "If you want to solve this case, you'd better believe me."
"The authorities are there to solve the case. What kind of case can you solve? Even if the portrait you drew was really Guo He, you could only say that you drew someone who looked like him by accident. That's nothing at all. "
Jing Rong did not have the same patience as Ji Yunshu. He glared at the man with his cold ink-black eyes, "Whatever Teacher Ji says is the truth. If you dare to say another word, I will have your tongue cut out."
The man's tongue curled up and shrank back. He swallowed hard, "Who do you think you are? Cut out my tongue and I will report you to the authorities. "
"Report to the authorities?"
Ridiculous!
As a prince, how could he be afraid of the authorities?
He raised his eagle-like eyebrows slightly, "Bingjing should be under the jurisdiction of Lord Huang of Huangshishan. I don't believe that he would dare to stop me if I wanted to cut out your tongue."
His imposing manner was overbearing!
The man trembled, "You... What right do you have to say that?"
"What right? Because Huangshishan wouldn't dare to touch me. "
Of course, you are a Buddha!
Very important!
As for Bingjing, Jing Rong did not know Lord Huang of Huangshishan. He only knew that this man was honest and had a good reputation in court.
"You talk big." The man snorted and walked towards Teacher Yu. He cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, in my opinion, we should wait for the yamen to bring the coroner here for an autopsy before making a decision. I don't think that this person is Guo He. Guo He left a year ago and left behind a letter. It's definitely not a fake one. This bunch of people are spouting nonsense and trying to scare us. This is a deliberate act. Teacher, please..."
Before he could finish his sentence...
"Shut up!"
Teacher Yu was slightly angry. He slapped the armrest of the pear blossom chair and said, "I already said that I will leave this matter to Teacher Ji. If she says that this skeleton is Guo He, then it is Guo He. If you dare to say another word, you can forget about attending this year's Spring Quarter Examination."
Forget about the Spring Quarter Examination? How could he do that?
Didn't he study hard for so many years so that he could one day rank first in the imperial examinations?
He swallowed a few times and quickly retreated to the side.
As the saying went, kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Naturally, no one dared to say anything else.
Teacher Yu looked at Ji Yunshu and said, "Guo He is an orphan. She grew up by my side. Teacher, please investigate the truth."
Ji Yunshu nodded and rolled up the painting bit by bit as she said, "According to what Headmaster said just now, the deceased left on the 13th of June last year. Then, when he left the back mountain that day, he must have met someone. The two of them had a conflict and a fight broke out. The deceased was not as good as the murderer and was seriously injured. From this, it can be seen that either the deceased had a grudge against the murderer when he was alive, or something happened at that time that led to the conflict between the deceased and the murderer."
Just as he finished speaking —
"Liang Tian is the one who has a grudge against Guo He in the Academy."
His voice was loud and clear!
He looked over and saw a person being pulled out from the crowd.
His name was Liang Tian, and he was Lin Shu's right-hand man!
He denied agitatedly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't kill him."
"Everyone in the Academy knows that you and Guo He have always had a grudge. A few days before he left the Academy, you guys even argued in the study hall, saying that you would kill him if you had the chance. When you said that, we all heard it," someone said.
Liang Tian hurriedly said, "Yes, Guo He and I have a grudge. Who asked him to act like a tyrant in the Academy? He even tore my books to make a fire. I admit that I said that, but I really didn't kill him. I don't even dare to kill fish, so how would I dare to kill someone?"
"Then why weren't you in the Academy on the 13th of June last year?"
"I …"
He was speechless.
"For the entire month of last year, we were all preparing for the Fall Examination in August. You were the only one who was often absent. On the day Guo He left, you were also not there."
Liang Tian said, "Does my absence mean that I'm the murderer? Don't slander me. "
He swept his sleeves fiercely!
He looked at Teacher Yu agitatedly, "Teacher, you know this student. This student is most afraid of seeing blood. How could I kill someone?"
Teacher Yu asked, "Then where were you at that time?"
"This student was … in the library." Liang Tian was obviously lacking in confidence.
"Nonsense!" Teacher Yu reprimanded, "Don't you know that the library caught fire last June? I had already locked the doors and no one was allowed in. How could you be in the library? Hurry up and tell me the truth. "
Liang Tian trembled, his guilty gaze wavering. After stammering for a long time, he finally told the truth, "Actually … this student went to Anshan Town that day … to gamble. I only returned to the Academy the next day. By then, Guo He had already left."
Gambling?
"Ridiculous!"
Teacher Yu was enraged and his chest ached from anger.
"Teacher, this student knows his mistake."
Teacher Yu was exasperated that Liang Tian did not meet his expectations. "It is your teacher's fault for being stubborn. How can the Mingshan Academy tolerate you? It has been a year since Guo He died. You even dared to gamble, so why are you afraid of killing someone? "
"Even though this student likes to gamble, he really didn't kill anyone."
He strongly refuted.
Ji Yunshu suddenly said, "He really didn't kill him."
Huh?
An uproar!
Liang Tian seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving straw. He looked at Ji Yunshu eagerly and hopefully.
Unbeknownst to him, Ji Yunshu had already picked up Guo He's head and walked towards him. "If you want to prove that you didn't kill him, then show me your right hand."
Liang Tian nodded and did as he was told. He immediately raised his hand.
"Clench your fist."
He continued to do as he was told!
Then, Ji Yunshu came to a conclusion!
"You really didn't kill him."
Liang Tian heaved a long sigh of relief.
Teacher Yu asked, "Teacher, do you have evidence to prove that he didn't kill him?"
Ji Yunshu raised the head in her hand and explained, "The facial bones on the skull, hmm … are actually the cheekbones of a person. They are the two bones that protrude from the cheeks." She pointed with her finger and continued, "When the victim was alive, he was punched on his left cheekbone. Cheekbones are the two harder bones on the skull. If it wasn't for the strength of the person who punched him, there wouldn't be any dents on the cheekbone. However, the cheekbone on this head is undamaged. On the surface, there are no dents either. Come to think of it, the murderer didn't have much strength. In other words, he had the strength of an ordinary person. However, this is not the case."
Everyone was curious!
They listened in silence.
"When a person dies of illness, burns, hangs, or drowns … their bones will change to a certain extent. This skeleton has been soaked in water for a year, so the area below the cheekbone will slightly curve upwards. Because of this, the cheekbone on both sides will be compressed, causing it to protrude slightly. However, on the surface, the cheekbone on this head is undamaged. There is only one reason for this. The victim's cheekbone didn't suffer a light punch, but a heavy one. This caused the cheekbone to dent. Due to the compression of the cheekbone, the depression returned to normal, causing the cheekbone to look normal."
