In the meantime, Ji Yunshu was standing next to the well, looking at the round protrusions around the lip of the well. Her bright almond-shaped eyes darkened as she moved the small hollow on the skull in her hands towards the round protrusions around the lip of the well and gently matched them up.
"I see." She finally figured it out!
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 cla.s.smate, 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 h.e.l.l. 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 h.e.l.l 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."
