Ji Yunshu clenched on Ah Yu’s little hands, her expression solemn

Due to the sensitive nature of the case, her intuition told her that the truth was far fro left before… I from those words

After she lay back Ah Yu’s hands, she turned to the jailer and instructed hi the knife that Yu Sao used to co me some black ink and flour”

The jailer was bewildered “Teacher, what are you going to do?”

“Hurry and go!”

“But… what about the corpse? We still have to send it to the lared at him “I told you to hurry and do as you are ordered, why are you being so wordy for?”

‘Aiya!’ The jailer shivered fronify that he accepted the order and ran away

Ji Yunshu sighed while looking at the lifeless Ah Yu Her heart was extre

He asked her, “Are you suspecting that Ah Yu is the real murderer?”

Ji Yunshu shook her head “I a analyzed the situation “Two years ago, she was only six years old How can a six-year-old child kill ashould be put asides However…

Ji Yunshu squinted her eyes “Your Highness, did you forget? When Lord Jiang was pushed by Li Zhao, he sprained his ankle He shouldn’t be able to get up easily and since Ah Yu was only six years old, there was no need for Lord Jiang to guard hiave her the opportunity to kill him” She immediately added, “But all of this is onlynodded and stopped asking questions

Not long after, Magistrate Liu arrived, looking worn out in his official unifor like usual

“Your Highness, this is the prison For you to be here, I’ raised his hand to interrupt hient There’s no need to attend to istrate rose and walked to Ji Yunshu He waved at a runner who stepped forward to give her the things that she had asked for

“Are there new ele the case? Didn’t you already exaistrate was puzzled

“Yes sir” The runner did as told and after he was done ave it to Ji Yunshu

Ji Yunshu dipped the handle with the flour and ink mixture After half the time it took to brew a cup of tea had passed, she pulled out the handle The handle was now black and sticky

Once again, she cooked the handle above the fla at her with bewilderht pairs of eyes were observing the knife in her hand

As everyone continued to stare, the black flour paste started to peel off by itself under the high temperature of the flame Finally, only several distinctive marks were left on the handle

No one but Ji Yunshu understood the significance of those marks With the appearance of those marks, her eyes were misted with an expression that left people unable to decipher her istrate took the initiative to ask “How could this be? Is there so special about this knife?”

“H is wrong”

Her words baffled Liu Qingping

She moved the handle away from the flame Then, she put Ah Yu’s left hand around the handle andthe hand

“It completely fits!” Ji Yunshu declared in a confident tone “The one who killed Lord Jiang is Ah Yu!”

Everyone was flabbergasted, except for Jing Rong who remained calm He asked her “How did you deteran to explain “There are erprint?” The Magistrate stepped forward and carefully exaerprints show up there?”

“They appeared because Ah Yu gripped on the handle at the time of the murder When she stabbed the victim, her small hand only occupied a sh froerprints What’s ed into the victi the whole weapon, except on the areas where Ah Yu gripped the handle”

Everyone looked at each other They appeared to understand some of the explanations, but not all of it
