After knowing who the culprit was, the ones with the most intense reaction weren't master zhou and Madame Zhou.

It was the indignant county magistrate sitting in the hall.

He picked up the log on the table and pointed it at Old Steward, then straightened his body and said angrily: "You, you, miss zhou has no enmity with you, why did you kill her? Speak, speak! "

There was even a hint of excitement in his voice.

Hey hey hey! He still hadn't said if there was a grudge, why are you trying so hard!

That Old Steward didn't answer, he asked again: "If you don't admit it, then I'll beat you to a pulp for now. See if your mouth is still firm. Hurry up and bring your crime back so you won't be punished."

Ji Yunshu couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached out to him and pressed down on him.

Sit down!

After receiving Ji Yunshu's signal, the county magistrate felt quite awkward. His cheeks were slightly entangled as he sat down.

Now, it was master zhou and Madame Zhou's turn.

Shuangshuang was stunned for a while before she gradually reacted.

"Did you kill my daughter? Is it true? But why are you doing this? "Why?" Madame Zhou asked.

However, no matter if it was his words or his movements, he was not very excited.

In his eyes, there was only hatred and disappointment!

Unusual, not at all.

As for master zhou, he just sighed and left!

Ji Yunshu's heart was once again shrouded in a fog. It was vague and strange.

Old Steward actually ignored Madame Zhou's question, and his gaze returned to Ji Yunshu.

Laughing: "Sir, didn't you say that people can keep quiet, but things can? Since you already have the answer in your heart, why are you questioning me again? "

"Are you testing me?"

"I just don't understand, how did you know it was me? "I've been hiding it so closely that you won't be able to find it."

How confident!

"Strict?" This time, it was Ji Yunshu who smiled.

She straightened her body and looked down at the scar on Old Steward's face.

He pointed out, "If I'm not wrong, the wound on your face must have been caused by miss zhou!"

Old Steward was not surprised: "How did you figure it out?"

"Say, let me guess. Of course, I could have guessed it. But from the tone of the old teacher, I'm probably right too."

Old Steward was silent. His eyes were full of confusion.

Ji Yunshu pursed her lips. "Of course you want to ask me. How can I tell that you're the killer based on these alone?"

After saying that, she took out a folded small yellow paper from her waist. Unfolding it layer by layer, she revealed a thin piece of white wax. She rubbed it on the paper, making it very obvious.

Could it be poison?

Jing Rong, who was hiding at the side, twitched his face.

Did this little guy intend to poison him in front of so many people?

Ji Yunshu put the yellow paper in front of Old Steward and asked: "Do you recognize it?"

He was perplexed! I don't recognize him!

Picking up the yellow paper, Ji Yunshu seemed to be in a position where she could talk for a long time. With a serious expression on her face, she explained, "The thing in my hand is a piece of wax. I got it from this old mister's clothes."

Coincidentally, Old Steward was completely oblivious to the fact that he was still wearing his sackcloth.

The ancient people were like this, changing clothes once a month!

By the time Old Steward reacted and glanced at his sleeves, it was already too late.

Ji Yunshu continued, "Ordinary waxy oil only has the scent of plant resin, but this waxy oil also has the smell of precious lotus juice. Even in the palace, there might not be this kind of candlestick, but the Zhou Mansion does."

With that said, she glanced at the yamen runner, who nodded. She took out something wrapped in white cloth and handed it over to Ji Yunshu.

She pulled it away, exposing it to the crowd.

It was the crystal candlestick in miss zhou's room.

Everyone was confused. They didn't understand!

The county magistrate didn't understand either. He pointed at the object with curiosity and asked, "What does that have to do with killing miss zhou?"

"Of course."

She raised the candlestick, turned towards Old Steward, and said with a frown.

Let me guess, I will continue to guess, that night, as usual, miss zhou lit the candle that she had to order every night, preparing to rest after drinking the soup medicine, she had just picked up the bowl of poisonous medicine, and she saw you in the yard, she was very unhappy, at that time, she would never allow anyone to disturb her, I believe Su Yun and Zhi Xin know that, and a person who was originally suffering from severe behavior compulsive disorder, once they broke her rules, how would she be able to act like a proper lady with proper etiquette?

You scolded you, and you were hit as well. And you thought about that wound on your face which miss zhou cut all those years ago, in the end, you couldn't bear it any longer and went into the inner room. You took the pillow on the bed and pinned it to the ground.

The crowd burst into an uproar again …

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Yunshu continued, "In the process, you touched the candlestick in the room, and a small black spot appeared on the surface of your clothes. Before she finished her sentence, Ji Yunshu continued," In the process, you touched the candlestick in the room, and a small black spot appeared on your clothes.

After miss zhou died, you put the candlestick back in its original place and cleaned up the entire room. At that time, you saw Su Yun sneaking into the yard, and in a hurry, you didn't even have time to deal with miss zhou's corpse before you hurriedly left. But you were hiding in the dark and noticed that when Su Yun saw the corpse, she didn't scream or make a fuss, and she even carried miss zhou's corpse to bed.

"So, you continued to be a good housekeeper, and Su Yun became your scapegoat!"

After Ji Yunshu finished her sentence, everyone was dumbfounded!

This case was actually so complicated.

A single piece of clothing, a single drop of wax, had actually exposed the entirety of this case.

It seemed that he should bathe and change his clothes everyday!

However, Old Steward's eyes were still calm and gentle. Even though he looked like he had been skinned alive, it was exposed in front of everyone.

Still no fear!

Ji Yunshu questioned him, "Now, do you admit it, or not?"

"Mister... "He's really smart!"

Yes, he did!

As he spoke, he finally lifted up his face. That dark red scar looked as if it was dripping with blood as it looked at Ji Yunshu.

It just so happened that right at this moment …

"My lord, something is wrong, the prisoner …" The prisoner is dead. " jailer hurriedly ran in.

The county magistrate frowned. "Which prisoner?"

"That's right …" It was that Su Yun from Zhou Family who killed herself. She used Oil Lamp's plate to cut her wrist! "

Oil lamp?

The oil lamp Ji Yunshu had left to keep her warm!
