Searching for a Needle in a Haystack
Chapter 522: Searching for a Needle in a Haystack
Liang Tian subconsciously grabbed his wrist.
He hid it behind him.
Over the years, he had hidden the fact that he had a bone disease in his hand very well. Even his roommates did not know about it.
After all, it would affect his future career!
But now that Ji Yunshu had exposed it in front of everyone, there was no need for him to deny it. Otherwise, he would be treated as a murderer.
Thus, his Adam's apple bobbed for a while. "Yes, I have a condition."
Everyone looked at each other.
They were surprised.
Ji Yunshu stared at his hand, which was hidden behind his back, and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Hand bone disease is a common disease, and it's not incurable. As long as you find the right medicine, the pain will be gone."
"This... is impossible. Even the doctor said there is no cure."
"There is a cure."
She glanced at Mo Ruo.
So...
Brother, I'll leave this matter to you. Give me a prescription, it won't take up your time.
Mo Ruo really wanted to slap himself. Why did he follow her? Wouldn't it have been better if he had brought Wei Yi or gone to Yufu alone?
Why did he have to jump into this huge pit? Wasn't he digging his own grave?
Along the way, Ji Yunshu solved cases and he saved people at the same time.
This baby is so tired.
Liang Tian's eyes were filled with hope. His hand could be saved.
Just as he was about to thank her —
Teacher Yu said sternly to Liang Tian, "Although you did not kill him, you are a gambling addict. We cannot let you live. None of the students of Mingshan Academy are as unreasonable as you."
It was as if he had been struck by lightning!
Liang Tian shouted, "Teacher..."
Thud!
He knelt down.
His face was full of regret. "This student knows his mistake. I won't dare to do it again. Teacher, please spare me. Give me another chance."
Spare your sister!
Teacher Yu had taught for many years. Among his students, there were indeed some who were outrageously bad, but none of them were addicted to gambling like Liang Tian. If he continued to stay in the Academy, first, he would ruin the academic spirit of the Academy. Second, it would be a slap in the face to his teacher.
He waved his sleeves angrily. "Take him away. From now on, he is no longer a student of Mingshan Academy. He will not be able to speak outside."
"Teacher..."
He shouted with tears in his eyes.
He was the first person to be kicked out of Mingshan Academy!
What a disgrace!
Two of the students acted according to Teacher Yu's instructions. They picked up Liang Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, and dragged him away.
From afar, they could still hear him begging like a pig being slaughtered …
Teacher Yu, who was sitting on the pear blossom chair, was so angry that he clutched his chest in pain. He had just recovered from the pain of Guo He's death, and now he was so angry at Liang Tian that he almost died.
Upon seeing this, Mo Ruo immediately stepped forward. "Teacher Yu, your health is more important. Since you have entrusted this matter to Teacher Ji, let her handle it. Why don't you return to your room first? I will take your pulse so that we can diagnose and prescribe medicine."
Teacher Yu opened his mouth, but no words came out. He could only lower his eyes and nod.
He allowed Mo Ruo and his students to support him as they left.
Before he left, he reminded his students to listen to Ji Yunshu's words and do as she said.
Everyone agreed!
But in fact, Ji Yunshu was also scratching her head in confusion.
Based on the skeleton, she could only temporarily figure out who the victim was and what injuries he had suffered before his death. Other than that, there was a messy ball of thread wrapped around her chest.
She pondered, "Although the murderer is a very strong person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack if we only use this direction to investigate."
After all, there were many people with great strength in this world!
Shang Zhuo, who had been silent in the crowd, stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Yunshu. He said humbly, "Since Teacher trusts Teacher Ji, we naturally trust you as well. As long as we can find out who killed Guo He, we will do our best to cooperate with Teacher Ji."
He trusted Ji Yunshu!
He also knew that the scholar in front of him was not an ordinary person. To be precise, the people accompanying the young scholar were not ordinary people either.
Ji Yunshu nodded at him politely. It was rare that there was a sensible person among Teacher Yu's students.
She said, "Teacher Yu trusts this humble one, so this humble one will naturally do my best to investigate this case. Before the officials arrive, please do not leave. There is not much evidence now, and we can't come to any conclusions. Why don't you all leave first? When I find new evidence, I will summon you."
Everyone nodded.
They left one after another.
In fact, they had long wanted to leave. The moment that horrifying skeleton was fished out, they had been drenched in cold sweat and felt a chill run down their backs. Now, they had to quickly drink some water to calm themselves.
Shang Zhuo stopped in his original spot and glanced at the skeleton. He immediately withdrew his gaze and said, "Guo He's death is indeed surprising and regrettable. He and I were not only classmates, but also lived in the same house and had a very good relationship. But now..." He sighed and looked up. "I hope that Teacher Ji will find the murderer and bring justice to Guo He."
"I will do my best!"
"Many thanks!"
He cupped his hands in salute and left.
Now, only Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong, Lang Po, Tang Si, and Shi Ziran's guards were left in the room.
"A bunch of useless scholars!"
The one who spoke was Tang Si.
She propped herself up. Because she had knelt all night, she walked awkwardly. She walked to the side of the skeleton and said disdainfully, "Didn't you see the expressions of those scholars? Each of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. Isn't it just a pile of bones? Are they that scared? "
She reached for one of the ribs and was about to pick it up.
Ji Yunshu immediately grabbed her hand and pushed it to the side.
"Don't move."
"Why are you so nervous? Aren't they just a few broken bones? Do you think they're treasures? " She covered her nose and fanned it with her palm. "I have to say, this skeleton really stinks."
Of course it stinks!
How could it not stink after being at the bottom of a well for a year?
Tang Si began to circle around the skeleton like a leader patrolling the grounds.
She even said something, but it was hard to hear.
His demeanor gave off the vibe of an inspector.
Ji Yunshu ignored her and stared at the skeleton in front of her. She muttered, "There must be some other evidence on the skeleton."
She was very determined!
But...
Apart from the five wounds on the skeleton, there was nothing else.
Since that was the case, she would continue to look at the wounds.
She picked up the rib and used her finger to lightly press on the injured area. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Then, she picked up the head again and turned it over to look at the wound at the back of the head.
If she looked carefully, she would notice something was wrong.
The wound here was different from the other wounds on the skeleton.
There was an obvious indentation on the back of the skull.
