The Victim Fell to His Own Death
At the back of the mountain.
Ji Yunshu stood beside the well and looked at the protruding circular object at the mouth of the well. Her watery almond-shaped eyes deepened a few inches. Then, she gently pressed the small dent on the skull against the protruding circular object at the mouth of the well.
"I see."
She figured it out!
When the crowd rushed over, they saw her holding the skull and muttering to herself.
They couldn't hear what she was saying!
Lu Hu and the others looked at her in confusion. Lin Shu, who was being held by the officials, stared at her with a pale face.
He was like a piece of meat on a chopping board that could be chopped into minced meat at any time. Although he didn't like Ji Yunshu and hated her, at this moment, he had no choice but to place all his hopes on her.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with a strong desire to live!
Ji Yunshu walked towards him with the skull in her hands and asked him very seriously, "Do you remember how long you went out that night? Think it through and answer me accurately. "
Although Lin Shu didn't understand, he was like an ant on a hot pan. Only by cooperating could he avoid being "burned alive". He tried his best to recall and calculate in his mind.
"From start to finish... it should have been less than the time to drink a cup of tea."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Fu Yuansheng, who was his classmate, also said, "At that time, I was sitting with him and he went to the toilet. It was indeed the time to drink a cup of tea."
Another person said, "Yes, I still remember that we were discussing knowledge at that time. He went out and came back, it was indeed the time to drink a cup of tea."
Ji Yunshu nodded, understanding in her heart.
Lu Hu's eyes were as big as beans, and his expression was as fierce as the King of Hell. He couldn't tolerate people repeatedly going against his will, but Ji Yunshu had repeatedly tried to stop him. His patience had long since worn out.
The hand holding the hilt of the saber secretly tightened.
"What do you want to do?"
"To investigate the case!"
"The case has been closed. You don't have to waste time looking for evidence. You helped the yamen solve this case. When I go back, I will tell the truth to Lord Huang. At that time, he will definitely reward you. But if you continue to obstruct the yamen, the reward will become the punishment."
Reward is fine!
Punishment is fine!
She didn't care about that!
Otherwise, she would have become a millionaire long ago.
Her clear eyes narrowed and she said, "Constable Lu, I've just said that not all the evidence can be used as evidence. Sometimes, the evidence is dead, but the truth is alive. Whether it's the Eastern Fence Pearl, the blood on the wine bottle, or the time of writing the letter, it can only be said that those are the clues to find the murderer. As for the real truth, we need to continue to peel off the silk cocoon before we can find it."
"What about the real truth?"
"The truth is, although all the evidence I've found points to Lin Shu as the murderer, I've been looking in the wrong direction because he's not the murderer."
The last five words were powerful and resolute.
Hua!
Everyone present was shocked!
The murderer was not Lin Shu?
At this moment, Lin Shu's ashen face lit up again. It was as if someone had thrown him a life-saving rope when he was in the abyss.
However, Lu Hu gave her a disdainful look and said in a heavy voice, "Teacher Ji, as far as I know, you said that he was the murderer before, and now you say that he is not the murderer. Then, after a while, you will say that the victim fell to his death."
"Yes, the victim fell to his death." She was certain.
Uh!
Everyone exclaimed.
Ji Yunshu gently lifted the head in her arms and explained clearly, word by word, "There are a total of five injuries on the victim's body, but the wound on the back of the skull is different from the other four. This wound is an inch deep, very similar to a wound caused by a fist. However, the crack is not obvious, and the concave area is very flat. It can be seen that the victim hit the protruding circular object on the rim of the well and pierced through the skull. It was a fatal wound and he died on the spot!"
She flicked her sleeves and pointed to the well.
After listening to her, everyone's eyes lingered on the well and the head in her hands. As she said, it was indeed the case.
Lu Hu also followed her line of sight and looked around.
He still had doubts in his heart.
Ji Yunshu walked around the well and continued, "The situation on that day should be like this. After Lin Shu beat Guo He up and left, Guo He got up from the ground, took the remaining wine on the ground, and staggered to the back of the mountain. I remember that on the 11th of June last year, it rained for a whole night in the north and only stopped on the morning of the 12th. The back of the mountain was muddy and the road was slippery. At that time, Guo He was already drunk and couldn't see the road clearly at night. His feet slipped and he fell backward. The back of his head hit the protruding circular object at the mouth of the well with great force. He died on the spot and fell straight into the well."
There was an uproar!
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Hu did not believe her words at all. He even thought it was very funny. He snorted coldly, "Nonsense. Why don't you say that Lin Shu pushed him down?"
"Impossible!" She said, "Constable Lu, why don't you calculate, or go walk by yourself. How long would it take to go from the school to the well in the back of the mountain and back?"
Lu Hu's heart was pounding.
She calculated the time. "Even a person who walks extremely fast, even if he is running, would need the time to drink two cups of tea. Let me ask you, how did Lin Shu do all this in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?"
Lu Hu was unable to refute her question. He fiercely glared at her and said, "I don't care which of your words are true and which are false. In short, I must take him away. Whether he is the murderer or not, when we arrive at the yamen, Magistrate Huang will naturally judge."
Sure enough, Brother Steel is determined!
He ordered, "Take him away."
The officials escorted Lin Shu and wanted to take him away.
"It has already been proven that I am not the murderer. Why are you still arresting me? Let go."
"Shut up!"
"You officials are distorting the truth. I did not kill anyone..."
Those people did not care about this!
Ji Yunshu stepped forward to stop them. "He is not the murderer. You cannot take him away."
"Get out of the way."
"Constable Lu, your yamen is so blindly obedient. If we really let you take Lin Shu away, he will either be tortured to death or forced to sign his name. In short, you cannot take him away."
Her expression was solemn, and her eyes seemed to burst out an untouchable flame like volcanic magma. It wrapped up and fiercely burned the officials.
Then, the students of the academy also stood behind Ji Yunshu like chopsticks tied together, each of them full of righteousness.
"You cannot take Lin Shu away. He did not kill anyone."
"That's right. Since it has been proven that he did not kill anyone, we will not let you take him away."
"Let Lin Shu go..."
