After knowing who the murderer was, it was not Master Zhou and Madam Zhou who reacted the most.
It was the aggrieved county magistrate sitting on the high hall.
Picking up the jingtang wood on the case table, pointing to the old housekeeper on the ground, he straightened up, and said angrily, "You, you, Miss Zhou has no grievances with you, why do you want to kill her? Say, say it!"
There seemed to be a little excitement in the words.
hey hey! He hasn't said whether he has any grudges yet, what are you doing so blindly!
The old butler didn't answer, he asked again: "If you don't admit it again, this official will hit you fifty major boards first, and see if you're still tough, and quickly bring your crime to the truth, so as not to be punished."
He couldn't stand it anymore, Ji Yunshu reached out to him and pressed down.
sit down!
After receiving the signal from Ji Yunshu, the county magistrate was so embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly wrapped, and he sat down.
At this moment, it was the turn of Master Zhou and Madam Zhou.
After being stunned for a while, Shuangshuang gradually reacted.
"You killed my daughter? Ajing, is it true? But why did you do this? Why?" Mrs. Zhou asked.
But whether it is language or action, it is not very exciting.
In his eyes, there is only a bitter disappointment!
Unusual, not unusual at all.
As for that Master Zhou, he just sighed and let it go!
Ji Yunshu's heart was once again shrouded in a fog, vague and strange.
But the old housekeeper ignored Madam Zhou's questioning, and once again turned his gaze to Ji Yunshu's.
He smiled: "Sir, didn't you say that people can keep silent, but can things? Since you have a big answer in your heart, why bother to question me again."
"Aren't you testing me?"
"I just don't understand, how did the gentleman know that the murderer was me? I hid it so closely that you couldn't find out."
So confident!
"Strict?" This time, it was Ji Yunshu who should have laughed.
Her straight body, but her eyes lowered slightly, falling on the hideous scar on the old housekeeper's face.
One sentence pointed out: "If you guessed correctly, the injury on your face should have been injured by Miss Zhou!"
The old housekeeper was not surprised: "How do you see it?"
"You said let me guess, then of course I guessed it, but listening to the old gentleman's tone, I probably guessed it right."
The old butler was silent, his eyes were still confused.
Simply, Ji Yunshu hooked his lips: "You must want to ask me again, just based on these, how can you conclude that you are the murderer?"
After she finished speaking, she took out a pack of folded small yellow paper from her waist, and untied it layer by layer, revealing a thin piece of white wax oil inside, which was very obvious when it rubbed on it.
Shouldn't it be poison
Jing Rong's face hidden in the side twitched.
In the public, is this little guy ready to poison again
He saw Ji Yunshu stretch out the yellow paper in front of the old housekeeper and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
Doubtful! I don't know!
Picking up the yellow paper, Ji Yunshu had a long-talking attitude, with an inquisitive solemnity at the corners of his mouth, and explained, "The thing in my hand is a piece of wax oil, which I took from this old gentleman's clothes. Got it down."
Coincidentally, the old housekeeper was unaware that he was still wearing that sackcloth at the moment.
The ancients were like this, changing a piece of clothing once a month!
This will wait for the old housekeeper to react and glance at his sleeve, it will be too late.
Ji Yunshu continued: "Ordinary wax oil only has the smell of vegetable resin, but this wax oil has the taste of high-quality lotus juice, so there may not be such a candlestick even in the palace, but, Zhou Mansion has it."
After the words fell, she glanced at the yamen on the side, the yamen nodded, took out something that was held in a white cloth from behind her, and delivered it to Ji Yunshu's hand.
She pulled it apart and exposed it to everyone's eyes.
It was the crystal candlestick in Miss Zhou's house.
Everyone was puzzled and did not understand!
The county magistrate didn't understand either, so he pointed at the thing curiously: "What does this have to do with killing Miss Zhou?"
"Of course there is."
Holding the candlestick, she turned sideways to the old butler, frowning, and said each and every one.
"You let me guess, and I'll continue to guess. That night, Miss Zhou, as usual, lit the candlestick that she must order every night, and went to rest after drinking the soup. She just picked up the bowl of poisonous medicine. , when she saw you in the yard, she was very unhappy at the time. Usually at that time, she would never allow anyone to disturb her. Suyun and Qiaoxin must have known this. A person with severe behavioral obsessive-compulsive disorder, once she breaks her rules, how can she be a well-mannered eldest lady?"
"So, when she was sick at the time, she must have turned into a rage, scolded you, and beat you, and you remembered the wound on your face that was scratched by Miss Zhou many years ago. In the end, you couldn't bear it anymore, and you went inside. He took the pillow on the bed and smothered it to the ground."
The crowd was in an uproar...
Before the words were finished, Ji Yunshu continued: "In the process, you came across the candlestick in the room, a light black spot was smoked out on your clothes, and when the candlestick fell to the ground, the wax oil on it naturally fell off. On your clothes, what you didn't expect is that while Miss Zhou was struggling, the bowl of soup that she had put on the table was knocked over, and it gradually reached her mouth and you On the piece of wax oil on the clothes, so that piece of wax oil not only has the smell of Baolian, but also the smell of spring return in the soup."
"After Miss Zhou died, you put the candlestick back where it was and cleaned up the house. At that time, you happened to see Su Yun sneaking into the yard, and in a hurry, you even thought of Miss Zhou's You didn't have time to deal with the body, so you left in a hurry, but you were hidden in the dark, and found that Su Yun didn't scream or make trouble when she saw the body, and also carried Miss Zhou's body to the bed. You are very strange, but also very at ease, Because someone took care of you."
"So, you will continue to be your good housekeeper, and Suyun will be your scapegoat!"
After Ji Yunshu finished speaking, everyone was stunned!
This case is so complicated.
A piece of clothing, a drop of wax oil, actually told the whole case.
It seems that you should take a bath every day and change your clothes every day!
However, the old housekeeper's eyes were still calm and gentle, even though at this moment, he was exposed in front of others as if he had been peeled off.
Still no fear!
Ji Yunshu questioned him: "Now, do you agree or not?"
"Sir... really smart!"
Yes, he did!
At the same time as he spoke, he finally lifted up that face without concealment. The dark red scar seemed to be dripping with blood, and he stared at Ji Yunshu!
Right at this time...
"Sir, it's not good, the prisoner... the prisoner is dead." The jailer hurried in.
The county magistrate frowned: "Which prisoner?"
"That's it... That Su Yun from the Zhou family committed suicide, cut her wrists with the plate holding the oil lamp!"
Oil lamps
The oil lamp Ji Yunshu left her to keep warm!
