"Do you think Her Excellency Ji will be able to find the murderer based on the bones tomorrow?" The short man asked skeptically. The tall man thought for a while, squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin, and clicked his tongue a few times. "I think it's possible. After all, we know Her Excellency Ji's abilities. She can even draw a portrait of a rotting corpse when they were alive. What's a mere skeleton to her? I think it'll be very lively tomorrow. "
”
Her Excellency Ji could even solve the Lin Capital Case fourteen years ago. What's a small case like this? If I could learn even a little bit of her skills, I wouldn't have to follow you to guard the autopsy room. I even have to endure going to the toilet. "The short man complained with a longing look on his face.
However, his companion laughed and mocked him.
"That's enough. You think you can learn Her Excellency Ji's skills? Maybe in your next life."
"Shoo shoo shoo …"
"Haha."
The two of them were no longer sleepy as they chatted.
They even teased each other from time to time. It was a very lively conversation.
The moon hung in the lonely sky, its light scattered on the treetops. The mottled shadows of the trees fell on the limestone slabs, swaying gently in the breeze. Coupled with the few red lanterns in the surroundings, the entire Ministry of Justice looked eerie.
The two guards standing guard outside the autopsy room couldn't help but cross their arms and look around.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"It's quite scary."
Just as they finished speaking, a lantern in the distance suddenly went out.
Then the second lantern went out, the third, the fourth …
Ugh!
Only the two lanterns outside the autopsy room were still lit.
The two guards seemed to have realized something. They gripped the broadswords at their waists, ready to pull them out.
The two of them looked at each other warily.
However, there was no other sound except for the sound of the wind.
When there was no movement, the two of them relaxed their vigilance.
Just then …
A figure jumped out from the darkness. The man in black waved his sword and cut down the two lanterns outside the autopsy room. The lanterns fell together and went out instantly.
"Who's there?"
The two guards panicked and immediately pulled out their broadswords. They could only use the moonlight to see the scene in front of them, but they didn't dare to swing their swords in case they hurt the other party.
The short man shouted, "Men, there are thorns …"
Before he could say the word 'guest', he had already fallen to the ground.
Then, the taller one fell as well. There was a man in black standing in front of them. His eyes were fierce and his body was tall and straight. Before the people from the Ministry of Justice arrived, he pushed open the door of the autopsy room and went in. He took out a match and lit it. When he saw a set of bones, he raised his sword and attacked without any hesitation.
The pile of bones was chopped into pieces, and it looked like it was about to turn into dregs.
After confirming that there was no possibility of White Bone recovering, he extinguished the match in his hand and turned to leave.
However, what he did not expect was that the moment he stepped out of the room, an arrow was shot at him. He did not even have time to react before the arrow pierced through his arm. The force of the arrow was so great that he was pushed back a few steps by the inertia, and his body slammed into the side of the wall.
On the doorframe.
"Quick, surround them!" A loud voice rang out.
There was a burst of messy and hurried footsteps and a distant flash of light.
The Minister of Justice, Lord Li, and his men surrounded the man in black.
Moreover, all of them pointed their swords at him.
Now it was impossible for him to escape!
He glared at them with bloodthirsty eyes, then pulled out the arrow that had pierced through his arm.
"Ugh!" He softly cried out in pain.
Lord Li frowned, "You have nowhere to run."
The man in black sneered. From his exposed eyes, he had no intention of admitting defeat. "I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."
"It's not fast, it's just that everything was set up for you." Ji Yunshu's voice came from the crowd.
The guards dispersed to the sides, creating a path.
Ji Yunshu walked out.
"You …"
"It was just a fake news. I didn't expect you to take the bait."
"Everything was a lie? It was … "The man in black was astonished.
Ji Yunshu smiled. "If we could determine who the murderer was based on the bones, the case wouldn't have dragged on until now. I can only say that you have a guilty conscience. You can't even think of such an obvious problem."
"Ugh!" The man in black trembled. "I didn't expect that I would still miss this point."
"Now that the matter is settled, Doctor Wang, you can't resist." “
What?
Lord Li was startled. He asked Ji Yunshu, "This … he's Doctor Wang?"
Even Jiang Lan, who was at the side, was shocked. She couldn't believe it!
Wang Zhe also knew that he had no way out. He pulled off his black mask.
"It's really you?" Jiang Lan cried out in surprise.
There was blood at the corner of Wang Zhe's mouth, and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He stared at Ji Yunshu and asked, "How did you know it was me?" "As long as I went to Exquisite Garments to investigate, I would know that you were the only man who had contact with Hualing. Presumably, Hualing's lover was you, and the one who impregnated her was also you! However, these are not enough to prove that you are the murderer. You said that on the night of Hualing's death, you were drinking at your uncle's house. However, Judge Yu said that at that time, you had a rash on your body and couldn't drink. The reason you lied was naturally to hide something. In addition, the murderer was an outstanding craftsman. You fit all of these criteria. Moreover, you were involved with Hualing, so it was hard not to lock the target on you. However, there was no evidence, so I set up this trap and waited for you to take the bait! Now, everything has been proven. You were indeed worried that I would find out that you were the murderer, so you wanted to destroy Hualing's corpse! Now that everything has been proven, you were indeed the murderer. What else do you have?
What did you say? "
Wang Zhe laughed twice. His body leaned against the door frame behind him, and his laughter was extremely miserable.
"I didn't expect that I would make a mistake and still fall!"
Lord Li had already recovered from his shock. He questioned, "Tell me, why did you kill Hualing?"
"Why?" Wang Zhe was still laughing.
He didn't speak anymore.
Ji Yunshu didn't have the patience to wait any longer. She ordered, "Since you have already admitted to your crime, I'm not afraid of you not speaking. Guards, lock him up in the imperial prison."
"Yes!" Two imperial guards restrained him.
When he passed by Ji Yunshu, she spoke to him, "Wang Zhe, there's not only a murder case waiting for you tomorrow. There's another case waiting for you, and it's highly likely that the Censorate will come to interrogate you."
She was talking about the corruption case!
Wang Zhe's pupils shrank. He seemed to understand what she meant.
"You …"
"You don't need to be surprised. Soon, your uncle will accompany you. Take him away."
