Did you kill him?
Did that mean that the ghostwriter was Shang Zhuo?
This case was getting more and more complicated!
"This letter was written by Shang Zhuo?" Teacher Yu was still in a daze. "Impossible."
Unbelievable!
Although Shang Zhuo was good at copying, it was impossible for him to copy Guo He's handwriting and write a letter like that.
What was his motive?
Ji Yunshu turned back from the painting and began to explain, "Teacher, it is understandable that you do not believe me. However, in the entire academy, he is probably the only one who can imitate someone else's handwriting to such a realistic degree."
"Just based on this?"
"Not entirely. Headmaster of the Academy might not know that the handwriting written by a person with his left hand is completely different from the handwriting written by his right hand. No matter how well he imitates someone else's handwriting, there will still be flaws. And this flaw does not lie in the imitation, but in the person's habits."
Hmm?
"Teacher, you can compare the word 'Hui' on the letter left behind by Guo He, and then look at the word 'Hui' on the exercise book. See if there is any difference between the two characters."
Finished speaking!
Teacher Yu flipped through the pages.
Comparing the word "Hui" on the letter and the word "Hui" on the exercise, there was no difference between the two words when put together. Whether it was the tip of the brush or the weight of the brush, they were written by the same person. If there was really a slight difference, it would be the size of the two words. However, this was completely understandable. After all, the paper was different, and the position was different. The size of the words written was naturally different.
He squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but he could not see any difference.
He raised the two items in his hands. "There's nothing unusual about this' Hui 'character. It's indeed Guo He's handwriting. I can't be wrong. I can tell whose handwriting it is."
It can't be wrong!
It can't be wrong!
He firmly believed in his own thoughts.
Ji Yunshu's gaze deepened again, "Yes, there is indeed no difference between the two characters. But, Teacher, take a look at the side of the word 'Hui'. Is there any difference?"
It was as if she was giving him a test!
One asked, and the other answered.
One was like a student, while the other was like a teacher.
Teacher Yu followed her instructions and continued to look at the two words.
Only then did he realize!
He raised his gaze. "One of them has a little bit beside the word 'return', but the other one doesn't."
"That's right! That's it. "
This point!
What's the difference?
"What does this prove?" Teacher Yu asked.
"Just now, I said that no matter how good a person's copying skills are, no matter how lifelike the copied calligraphy is, it is impossible to change a person's writing habits, especially a person who is used to writing with his left hand. In this world, there are very few people who will use their left hand to write the word 'Hui'. That is an unintentional hidden meaning that cannot be changed. One of my friends is also used to writing with his left hand, so he would add a little on the side of the word 'Hui'. Of course, you can say that this is a coincidence, or you can suspect that I am talking nonsense. But this is the truth. "
The friend she was referring to was none other than Wei Yi.
Moreover, these words did not win Teacher Yu's complete trust.
Of course, these words did not come out of nowhere, nor were they fabricated by her.
In modern times, because of a case, she was transferred to assist the police in solving the case. Among them, she encountered a case of left-handed writing. The murderer forged the deceased's handwriting and wrote a suicide letter. Finally, through the identification of the handwriting and the word "Hui" on the letter, they found out that the letter was not written by the deceased. In addition, many philologists came to the conclusion that very few left-handed people would add a dot next to the word "Hui". Therefore, based on the clues of the left-handed person and the efforts of the police over the past few days, they quickly found their target and the case was finally solved.
It turned out that the murderer really was left-handed!
But at this moment, saying all this to Teacher Yu was undoubtedly an armchair strategist!
He was a scholar, so he understood the principles of literature, but he did not necessarily understand the principles of modern academia.
Even if he believed Ji Yunshu's words, he might not agree with it in his heart.
Ji Yunshu said directly, "I know that Teacher has doubts in your heart, but what this humble one said is the truth. Moreover, Shang Zhuo's' Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix 'also proves my point."
Hmm?
The 'Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' painting?
"Teacher, you should know that there are two lines of a poem below the painting. 'The birds return to the forest, and the phoenix does not return to its branches'. In the poem, there is also the word 'Hui', and there is a little bit beside the word."
Is there?
Teacher Yu thought back. Although the painting had always been hanging in his study room, his focus was on the painting. He knew of the two lines of the poem and had tasted them, but he did not pay much attention to the changes and direction of the words. Naturally, he could not think of anything now.
"If that letter was really written by him, then …" Could the murderer be Shang Zhuo?
Teacher Yu did not dare to think further.
Ji Yunshu said, "The person who wrote the letter might not be the murderer. The reason why this humble one delved into the matter of the letter was not to find the murderer."
"Then why?"
"I wanted to know … what was wrong with the time of Guo He's death? The evidence that I found regarding the Chestnut Bead and the blood on the wine bottle was rendered useless because of Lin Shu's alibi on the 13th. "
So that was it!
As long as the time of Guo He's death was pushed back to the 13th, then the evidence that she found would be conclusive.
However …
Teacher Yu said, "Then if this letter was not written by Shang Zhuo, then …"
At this moment …
"That letter was indeed written by me."
Hearing the voice, she looked over and saw that Shang Zhuo had appeared at the door!
His eyes were calm and even carried a fearless calmness as he stepped through the door.
As he spoke, he said, "This letter was written by me using my left hand to imitate Guo He's handwriting. The poem on the 'Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' was also written by me using my left hand. I am indeed left-handed, but I always write with my right hand in front of others, so no one knows about this habit of mine."
Too honest!
Too honest!
His tone was even very calm.
It was as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Ji Yunshu had already guessed it, so she was not shocked by his words.
Teacher Yu was already old. When he heard Shang Zhuo's words, the lump of anger in his chest could not come out and he choked for a moment.
He stretched out his trembling hand, "It seems like Teacher Ji was right. But why did you write that letter? Did … did you kill someone? "
