Chapter 538



When the crowd rushed over, they saw her murmuring indistinctly with the skull in her arms.

Lu Hu’s group looked at her blankly while Lin Shu, who was being restrained, stared at her with a pale face.

He was now like the meat on a chopping board that could be chopped into meat paste at any time. No matter how much he disliked and hated Ji Yunshu, at this moment, he had no choice but to put all his hopes on her.

Carrying the skull with her, Ji Yunshu walked towards him and asked seriously, "Do you remember how long you went out that night? Think carefully and answer me accurately."

Although Lin Shu did not understand, he was like an ant being roasted on a hot pan. Only with his best cooperation could he be prevented from being "burned to death" alive. He thought about it with all his might and made some calculations.

"Should be ... no more than time for a cup of tea.

"Are you sure?

"I’m sure."

As his classmate, Fu Yuansheng also said, "I was sitting with him at that time and he went out to the restroom. He indeed took the time for a cup of tea to go out and come back."

Another one said, "Yes, I remember I was discussing something with him at that time. It really took the time for a cup of tea for him to come back."

Ji Yunshu nodded. She felt she got her facts straight.

There was a ray of light in Lu Hu’s big eyes and his face was as fierce as that of an official from Hell. He could not tolerate other people’s disobedience and Ji Yunshu had been repeatedly stopping and interrupting him. He had lost his patience with her.

The hand wrapped around the handle of the knife secretly tightened.

"What the hell are you doing?

"Investigating!"

"The case is closed and you don’t have to waste any more time looking for any evidence either. When I go back, I will truthfully tell Magistrate Huang that you helped the yamen solve this case. At that time, he will definitely reward you. But if you continue to stop the yamen from doing their work, then even the rewards will become a punishment instead."

Reward or punishment? Who cares about that! Otherwise, she would have become rich a long time ago. Her clever eyes narrowed, "Officer Lu, I just said that not all items can be used as evidence. Sometimes, the evidence is dead, but the truth is alive. Be it the chestnut beads or the blood on the bottle, or the time to write the letter, we can only say that those items are clues that may lead us to the killer, but the real truth needs to be deduced from that."

"Then what’s the real truth?"

"The truth is that although the evidence I found shows that the killer was Lin Shu, I have always been mistaken about the direction. He is not the killer."

The last five words were loud and firm.

Wow! The group was shocked. The murderer was not Lin Shu?

Lin Shu’s face, as dusty as it was, brightened again as if he was in the abyss and suddenly someone threw him a life-saving rope.

But Lu Hu gave her a cold look and spoke with a heavy voice, "Teacher Ji, as far as I know, previously you were the one saying he was the murderer. Now you say he is not the murderer. Are you telling me that a while later, you’re going to change your mind again and say that the deceased died due to a fall?"

"Yes, the deceased died from a fall." She was sure.

What? Everyone was surprised.

Ji Yunshu lifted the skull held in her hand and began to explain clearly, word by word, "There are five injuries on the deceased, but this wound on the back of the brain is different from the other four. The injury is an inch deep and is similar to the wound caused by a fist. However, there are no obvious cracks and the indentation is a complete and regular circle. It is evident that the injury was caused by the head impacting on the round protrusion on the lip of this well. It was a fatal injury and he was immediately killed! " She flicked her sleeves and pointed at the well.

The crowd looked back and forth between the well and the skull in her hands. It seemed like what she said was plausible.

Lu Hu looked back and forth as well; he was still full of questions.

Ji Yunshu circled around the well and continued, "The situation that day should be like this. After Lin Shu hit Guo He and left, Guo He got up from the ground, holding the half of the wine bottle left on the ground and staggered here. I remember that on 11th of the 6th month last year, it rained all night in the north and stopped in the early morning of the 12th. The back mountain was muddy and the road was slippery. At that time, Guo He was drunk. Also, at night he couldn’t see the road at all, so his feet slipped and he fell backwards completely. The back of his head hit the round protrusion at the mouth of the well with great strength. He died immediately and his whole body fell straight into the well. "

The group were shocked but relieved. Lu Hu didn’t believe her words at all, and even thought it was very funny. He sneered, "Nonsense, why don’t you say Lin Shu pushed him down."

"It’s impossible!" She said, "Official Lu, why don’t you calculate it, or you go and try walking from the Academy to the well at the back mountain and back. How long would that take?" Lu Hu felt uncertain.

She calculated the time properly. "For a person who walks very fast, or even runs, the route would take at least the time for two cups of tea. How did Lin Shu make it in time for one cup of tea?"

Lu Hu was unable to refute her. He glared savagely at her, "I don’t care which sentence you said is true or false. No matter what, I must take him away. When he arrives at the public court in the yamen, Magistrate Huang himself would determine whether he is the murderer."

Sure enough, he had made up his mind! He ordered, "Take him away." The officials were about to take Lin Shu away.

"Didn’t we just prove that I am not the murderer. Why do you still want to arrest me? Let me go."

"Shut up!"

"You people in Yamen are just inverting black into white and distorting the truth, I didn’t kill anyone..." Those officials don’t care at all!

Ji Yunshu stepped forward and stopped them, "He is not the murderer, so you cannot take him away."

"Get out of the way."

"Officer Lu, the way you and your team operates is literally following the rules too blindly. If you are really taking Lin Shu away, he will either be tortured to death, or he will be forced to sign a fake confession. At any rate, you cannot take him away."

Her expression was serious and her stare burned as hotly as volcanic lava, almost as if it would ignite flames on the officials.

The students of the academy also stood behind Ji Yunshu in a tight knot, like chopsticks bound together, and each of them stood with dignity.

"You can’t take Lin Shu away. He didn’t kill anyone."

"Yes, since it has been proven that he was not the murderer, we will not let you take him away."

"Release Lin Shu..."

All of them together were ready to exert pressure on the officials and fight back.
