An incomplete skeleton? Even though n.o.body was familiar with bone structure, they could tell that the skeleton on the floor was incomplete as even the skull was missing. A tall student stood out and questioned, "Could it be that you are familiar with these?"

　　If she's not familiar, then who would dare to say they were?! Ji Yunshu answered, "Humans have 206 bones. Presently, what was fished out of the well, including the broken finger and toe bones, is obviously less than 206 pieces."

　　"What a farce!"

　　A farce? The people from ancient times really are stupid!

　　At this time, Teacher Yu slowly stepped forward to enquire, "If Teacher Ji is familiar with bones, then what are your thoughts?"

　　His student immediately interjected, "This student believes he's babbling nonsense, Teacher. We should move this skeleton over and wait for the people from the yamen come to deal with it."

　　"Didn't Teacher Ji already say that the skeleton will be damaged if it is moved again? Why don't we listen to what Teacher says before making a decision. Since this happened in the Academy, we cannot take this lightly."

　　Residing deep in the mountains in faraway Bingjing, Teacher Yu had never heard of the famous Teacher Ji of the capital. However, he had a former student, now working as a government official, who once briefly mentioned this person in a letter long ago. Even though it was merely a pa.s.sing remark, no one mentioned this student's letter would be small fry. He had made his decision! Teacher Yu inclined a bow towards Ji Yunshu, who quickly reciprocated. She couldn't afford to receive such an honour!

　　"Teacher Yu please speak your mind, I will surely get it done."

　　"Teacher Ji, I had heard of your accomplishments in the Capital in letters from my students. I also know that you and Young Master Jing have matters to settle in Yufu. A case like this has never occurred in the forty years since the founding of my Mingshan Academy. I would like to invite Teacher to stay for two more days to investigate this skeleton from the well."

　　"Since Teacher Yu has entrusted this to me, I will not decline."

　　"Many thanks, Teacher Ji!"

　　Let this thin and frail man investigate? The students of Mingshan Academy were amazed and flabbergasted. Why a letter from the capital would have mentioned Teacher Ji?How could Master Yu trust an outsider so easily? They began to privately discuss amongst themselves.

　　Ji Yunshu glanced at Jing Rong as if to garner his opinion. When Jing Rong caught her gaze, his expression chilled and grew solemn as he nodded. Go ahead and investigate!
