First, there were many omissions in the case that Yu Dali had not admitted to.
Second, the criminal was an official of the Supreme Court, not an ordinary citizen. This case was related to the court. If the case was closed incorrectly, it would affect many people. It was hard to calm the mouths of the public. At that time, it would directly affect the six ministries, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Anyone with a brain could think of these two points. He, the Minister of Justice, had been an official for so many years and would understand. Why would he order Assistant Minister Jiang to write a file?
Ji Yunshu frowned and asked seriously, "Lord Jiang, tell me clearly. Did Official Li (Minister of Justice) order this case to be closed? Or was it someone else? "
Someone else?
Zhang Lan trembled with a confused expression.
At this time —
A person appeared at the door.
"Lord Ji."
He called out to her.
Hearing the voice, she saw the Minister of Justice standing at the door in his official robes. He had the air of a high school teacher.
He walked in and glanced at Jiang Lan. He waved his hand. "Lord Jiang, go do something else. This official has something to say to Lord Ji."
Jiang Lan couldn't wait to leave!
He trembled in front of Ji Yunshu.
He bowed and said, "Yes, this official will take his leave."
He hurriedly left.
His figure disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
The Minister of Justice raised his hands at Ji Yunshu. "Lord Ji, why didn't you tell me you came?"
She said, "I came in a hurry."
"Lord Ji was looking at Yu Dali's case just now?"
"Yes."
"Did you see anything?"
He still had the face to ask.
Ji Yunshu's expression did not change. "Lord Li, there is no one else here. If you have something to say, just say it to me." As expected, Lord Li's expression darkened. "This case has been dragged on for a long time. We can't not close it just because Yu Dali refuses to admit it. Although there is no direct evidence, the facts are in front of us. Yu Dali was the last person to see the victim, and he did push the victim.
Boss did indeed see blood on the corner of the table in his room in the side courtyard. This is the proof! "
He spoke righteously.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sneer. "Lord Li, are you trying to reason with me?"
"I'm just stating the facts."
Ji Yunshu's expression darkened. "The fact is that Yu Dali hasn't confessed yet. The fact is that there isn't enough evidence. The fact is that no one saw it with their own eyes. Moreover, there is no direct evidence. Lord Li, if this case isn't thoroughly investigated, it can't be closed."
With a tone that could not be refuted.
Lord Li appeared to be in a difficult position. He lowered his eyelids and said, "Lord Ji, why do you have to do this? Whether this case is real or fake, Yu Dali is the murderer. Even if you want to drag it out, you won't be able to drag it out for long. "
"Lord Li, why did you close the case in such a hurry?"
Ugh!
He suddenly asked.
His question made Mr. Li panic. As if he was afraid that Ji Yunshu would see through him, the panic on his face immediately disappeared and he returned to normal. "I'm afraid that Lord Ji has misunderstood. This case has been dragged on for too long. All the evidence points to Yu Dali, and there's no new evidence to support him. What's most frightening about a case is that it's dragged on.
I believe Lord Ji has been in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, you should understand this principle. "
Pooh!
She didn't understand those things, but she knew that she couldn't wrongly accuse someone.
"Then how long do you think is enough?"
"…?"
"How about I ask Lord Li for five days in the name of the Ministry of Justice's Director of the Ministry of Justice?"
Five days to solve the case!
Lord Li was obviously in a difficult position. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu continued, "Is Lord Li not going to give me five days? Give me five days to investigate this case and find clues. If I can't find any new evidence in five days, then this case … will be handed over to Lord Li. I won't say a word. "
"This …"
"Is there really something that can't be revealed?"
"Of course not." A look of panic flashed across Lord Li's face again. He sighed and gritted his teeth. "Fine, then five days. If Lord Ji can't find any evidence to prove that Yu Dali is not the murderer in five days, then this case must be closed."
Ji Yunshu replied, "Fine!"
Straightforward!
Soon after, Ji Yunshu went to the morgue, intending to check the skeleton.
She ordered several guards to light some candles around the room.
The autopsy room was tidied up, and the tools were neatly placed.
On the board on the side of the room lay the skeleton covered with a white cloth.
She put on her gloves and lifted the cloth.
The skeleton had fallen apart when it was dug out from the wall. The coroner hired by the Ministry of Justice could only put the large bones together, while the small bones were scattered on the side, covered with dust.
The guards of the Ministry of Justice loved to follow Ji Yunshu to the autopsy room because they could learn something new every time.
They still remembered Wei Wu and Wang San from Jinjiang yamen!
The two of them also liked to follow Ji Yunshu. They would often stand beside her with a pen and a notebook in hand. Whenever Ji Yunshu said something, they would write it down. They were very serious. Nowadays, if the guards of the Ministry of Justice didn't have official duties, they would also be taking notes with a pen and a notebook.
Ji Yunshu very patiently pieced the fragmented bones together bit by bit. It took her less than half an hour to do so.
With that, a complete skeleton was formed.
After all, practice makes perfect!
However …
She turned to the guard standing by the door. "Oh right, where are the clothes on the skeleton?"
The guard hurriedly pointed to a direction in the room. "Lord Ji, they are there."
She looked over and saw that the dead man's clothes had been taken off and placed on the table next to him. Although it had rotted over the past three years, there was still some fabric left. In addition, it was hidden in the wall, so the degree of the rotting of the clothes was not that fast.
She ignored the clothes and began to examine the skeleton in front of her.
One joss stick, two joss sticks, three joss sticks …
Finally, the examination was completed!
Her expression also became very solemn during the inspection process.
Her brows were tightly knitted.
It seemed like …
Did he find something else from the skeleton in front of him?
Her eyes showed a trace of surprise.
The guard stepped forward and asked, "Lord Ji, did you find anything?"
Ji Yunshu's face was cold. She took off her gloves and ordered, "Look after this skeleton. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in and examine it. It is best to guard the door day and night."
Huh?
The guard didn't understand why there was a need to guard the morgue. There were only bones and tools for dissecting corpses. They were worthless!
But he still complied. "Yes."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything.
The guard didn't ask anything else. He just felt that Lord Ji's mood changed a lot after the autopsy.
Ji Yunshu directly returned to the Rong Estate after leaving the Ministry of Justice.
She planned to draw a portrait of the skeleton.
Because … she suspected that the skeleton was not Hua Ling.
It was someone else!
