Ju Mu Er glared angrily at the direction of Long Er. Recalling how serious she was before, she found herself to be kind of dumb. She pursed her lips and did not feel like talking anymore.
Long Er hurriedly changed the topic to lift her mood up: “What you said are logical, but you left one part out. If they had fought in the room before and caused the candlelight to go out, you won’t be able to see any light even after you opened the door.”
Ju Mu Er blanked out for a moment, thinking what he said was true. So, she nodded her head.
Seeing her focus was turned towards the case, he smiled subconsciously, and said: “But what you guessed are not wrong at all, because the corpse of Owner Zhu was only wearing the middle garment, so it can be said that’s he’s asleep at that time. If someone were to pay him a visit, he will for sure wear his clothes properly before meeting the guest. So, your deduction is not wrong, someone entered his room when he was asleep.”
Ju Mu Er tilted her head and thought seriously. She then said: “What the culprit had on them was a normal fabric clothing, and I was not able to touch their face. What they had on them was not thick at all, considering how cold the weather has turned. They also have a sturdy and well-built body too. When they covered my mouth and dragged me into the room, the top of my head just reached their chin, so they should be taller than me by more than half of a head. When I thrust my bamboo clutch to their stomach, they yelled in pain, so there might be bruises on their stomach. When I touched their hand, the back of their hand was not smooth at all, so it’s likely that they have a small scar on it. Other than that, when they threw me onto the bed, I scratched his wrist, so there might me marks left there.”
Long Er listened to all her words carefully and went through all the list of people that appeared on the court. He then said: “Luckily you did not say any of these in the court.”
Ju Mu Er nodded her head: “I know. Nothing can be proven based on only my words. If the real culprit was not in the court, and by chance if their accomplice or anyone involved in it knows about it and inform them, not only Shopkeeper Lu will not have his name cleared, it will also allow the culprit to receive all the news. And if they are on guard, it will be difficult for us to find them.”
“But you told FuYin DaRen that you might have important clues but was not able to recall them. If someone were to pass those words to the culprit, then you might be in danger.”
“But if I don’t, there might be possibility that FuYin DaRen will judge that Shopkeeper Lu is guilty. Then what can I even do at that time?”
“This case involves human life, so how will it be judged arbitrarily like that.”
Ju Mu Er pursed her lips: “It’s not like I work in that field, how will I know if they will do it arbitrarily or not. Not to mention Mister Shi was beheaded, so it’s hard to say.”
Long Er was dumbfounded, what? Mister Shi was beheaded?
