In the hall.
After the two maidservants had left, Lin Fan's expression changed.
"Judge Yu, did you know that Hualing was pregnant when she was alive?"
"What?" Yu Wei was astonished.
Even Assistant Minister Jiang was greatly shocked! Originally, when the coroner hired by the Ministry of Justice finished the autopsy, he only mentioned the time of death and the fatal injuries. He didn't mention that the deceased was pregnant, so the file he wrote didn't record this point. Now that he heard Yunshu's words, he hurriedly wrote it down on a piece of paper. He would add it when the time came.
Go to the file.
Yu Wei said, "Lord Ji, are you mistaken? Hualing had a strange illness that prevented her from coming into contact with men. Everyone in the fu knew this, so how could she … get pregnant? “
Ji Yunshu affirmed, "This matter is absolutely true. Hualing was indeed pregnant when she was alive."
"Who … who is that person?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have come to the manor to ask the servant girl."
Yu Wei fell into deep thought.
The shock in his heart had yet to disperse.
Then, Ji Yunshu said, "Officer Yu, I want to take a look at the room where the accident happened."
Thus, Yu Wei led her there.
The main house where the accident happened had already been sealed. The main door was tightly shut, and there were even two official search seals on it.
Ji Yunshu didn't even think and tore it down in front of Yu Wei and Assistant Minister Jiang.
Clean and efficient, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
The main house was where Yu Dali lived. It was no different from an ordinary bedroom. There was a living room in the middle, and an inner room and a small study on the left and right sides. The wall that hid the bones was the one behind the small study room. At this moment, it had already been smashed, revealing a large hole. One could see a long corridor behind it. The collapsed bricks were also scattered everywhere. It was very messy, even crushing the bookshelves in the small study room, causing the books on them to be scattered all over the place.
It was lying on the ground, covered with dust, very messy.
Imagine sitting behind your desk, writing, reading, working, and there's a corpse in the wall behind you.
For three years.
It sent chills down their spines!
Pointing at the roof, Yu Wei explained, "At that time, there was a leak that caused the walls to fall off. Even the walls exploded, revealing the bones inside." Ji Yunshu followed his gaze and saw that the white walls were covered with water marks. Because it had been soaked in water, the paint on the walls had peeled off, making it look like a dilapidated old wall. Moreover, the places where the rain had leaked had many cracks, spreading to the surroundings. Looking at it, Ji Yunshu looked at the walls.
It was in imminent danger, as if it would collapse at any moment.
She walked around the messy desk in front of her and walked to the big hole that had been chiseled. She examined it carefully.
The wall was thick enough to hide a person!
She then asked, "Sire Yu, which part of the main courtyard did the Ministry of Works renovate three years ago?" "The entire main courtyard was renovated." At this point, Yu Wei became angry again and said, "If it wasn't for the Ministry of Works cutting corners, this house wouldn't have become like this after only three years. If it wasn't for the leak, the wall wouldn't have been damaged, and the skeleton wouldn't have been exposed. Then my father …"
Something.
Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately stopped, feeling that something was wrong.
If it wasn't for the Ministry of Works cutting corners and causing the roof to leak, they wouldn't have known that Hualing was already dead. If that wasn't the case, wouldn't the murderer be able to get away with it?
Yu Wei hurriedly said, "Lord Ji, my words just now were impulsive. Please don't take it to heart."
"I'm not someone who likes to gossip!"
Ji Yunshu didn't care.
After looking around the house, she walked out through the big hole that had been chiseled. The wall happened to be next to the long corridor at the back. After this place was sealed, the corridor was sealed as well, so no one else came here.
Through the big hole, she could clearly see the entire situation in the house.
She stood there for a while before asking, "When the trellis was built in the main courtyard, did anyone from the estate come in?"
"At that time, an order was passed down that no one from the estate was allowed in, for fear that something would fall from the roof and injure someone."
"Then, only people from the Ministry of Works can come and go as they please?"
Yu Wei replied, "Yes."
Ji Yunshu asked, "They can come in at any time?"
"There is a fixed time. Usually, they arrive at the estate at the end of the morning and leave at the end of the evening."
Ji Yunshu connected the timeline, "In other words, during the time when Hualing was murdered, there was no one guarding the main courtyard?"
"That's right!"
"If that's the case, then during the time when Hualing was murdered, anyone could come in and pile the corpse into the wall," Ji Yunshu said.
Yu Wei thought about it and nodded, "That's true! Moreover, the materials from the Ministry of Works hadn't all been removed at that time. "
The scope of the investigation expanded again.
These clues were too scattered.
Originally, Yu Wei wanted to ask them to stay for dinner, but this case was a little sensitive. After all, the current suspect was Yu Wei's father, and Ji Yunshu was the Supervisor of the Ministry of Justice and Jiang Lan was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Of course, they couldn't ask them to stay, so they politely refused.
By the time they left the Yu Estate, the sky was already dark.
Ji Yunshu thanked him, "I have troubled Assistant Minister Jiang to come with me today."
"Not at all, not at all." Jiang Lan said, "Everyone in the Ministry of Justice is looking forward to learning from Lord Ji. It's my honor that you were willing to bring me along."
Nice bootlicker!
But they didn't send you here to learn, they sent you here to take notes.
After all, you were the one who wrote the case file, so you should be the one to fill it up.
The two were about to go back in their sedan.
Assistant Minister Jiang pulled Ji Yunshu and asked, "Lord Ji, was the deceased really pregnant before she died?"
He still didn't believe it!
Ji Yunshu nodded.
"Aiyo, tomorrow, I'll tell Lord Li to arrest the coroner who came to examine the corpse last time and give him a good beating. He actually missed such an important clue. He's really a guy who doesn't do anything even if he's paid."
He was angry!
His two little mustaches were quite cute.
Ji Yunshu calmly looked at him and said unhurriedly, "It's not his fault that the coroner couldn't find anything. After all, there was only a pile of bones left, and the deceased was only pregnant before she died and didn't give birth. It was very difficult to find anything."
"Then, Lord Ji, how did you find it?"
This …
I'm smart!
I'm amazing!
Do you want me to say it out loud?
She wasn't in the mood to talk to him about some intellectual matters. Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "Lord Jiang, it's already so late. Let's go back and rest. I still need you to accompany me a few times tomorrow."
"Where?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, okay." Assistant Minister Jiang bowed and smiled. "Then this lowly official will leave first. I'll wait at the Ministry of Justice tomorrow."
Then, he returned to his residence on the sedan.
Ji Yunshu also got on the sedan and headed in the direction of the Rong Estate. However, on the way back, her mind was heavy. The clues she obtained today were very messy and needed to be sorted out.
She closed her eyes and slowly sorted them out.
