"The deceased's face was cyanotic, his eyes were red, and bloodshot. It should have been suffocated. However, there were no strangulation on the neck of the deceased, so the possibility of being strangled..."

Chi Shi said, pinched Wei Zidu's mouth open and looked at Jiule.

Jiule nodded, immediately took out a candlelight, lit it in front of Chi Shi, and shone it towards his throat. Chi Shi frowned, took out a piece of tweezers, and clamped a round bead from it.

"This is a jade bead with a very good quality and has holes on it. It looks like it is on the head of a certain bead. His real cause of death was not because he was stabbed by a dagger to death, but because the jade bead was stuck in his throat and suffocated."

"After his death, the murderer cleared the scene and stabbed Cui Jiangyan's dagger into Wei Zidu's chest, creating the illusion that he was the murderer. After doing this, he left the scene in a panic and took away something that originally belonged to Wei Zidu."

Upon hearing this, Cao Tuiwang looked around and saw that Wei Zi was completely impoverished and could not tell what treasure he had, worth killing and robbing.

"It's clothes. Wei Zi is wearing a middle robe. His jacket is still on the side, but the outer robe is gone. The murderer took his outer robe." Chi Shi explained.

Cao Tui Guan followed Chi Shi's gaze and saw that there was no outer robe in the pile of clothes placed beside the bed.

"Will there be restrictions on entry and exit of the academy at night?" Chi Shi walked out of the room and walked to the corridor. After a while, a fat and white middle-aged man cried and squeezed out, "Some, some."

"Our academy was not allowed to live in. But the inns in Beijing were too expensive and many people could not afford to live in. I thought that even if I had accumulated virtue, if a person who lived here had a high school official, I would be considered lucky, so I would let them live in by default."

"But there are not many such people, there are a total of about ten. Yesterday, because it was the first lunar month and the first lunar month, after Mr. Cui invited everyone to eat the full sheep, he went out for a night tour again. He didn't come back after midnight.

Only Li Ren, Liu Yong, Qi Guoping, and the dead Wei Zi did not go."

The shopkeeper said, raised his brows and looked at Cui Jiangyan carefully, "And Mr. Cui, I drank too much yesterday and stayed here. The house opposite Wei Zi is empty. Cao Ren lives opposite Mr. Cui."

"Liu Yong lives downstairs in Wei Zidu, while Qi Guoping lives at the stairs. The four of them are the most diligent here. Apart from reading, they hardly go out much, and they also have the best relationship with Wei Zidu."

The shopkeeper said, rubbing the sweat beads on his forehead and pointing out how many people came from the crowd.

The people looked at me, I looked at you, stepped forward, and walked towards Chi Shi. The three of them were very tall and thin on both sides, while the one in the middle was short and fat. They looked like a pair of chopsticks and picked up a meatball.

Chi Shi nodded, "Cui Jiangyan fell asleep after drinking too much, so he naturally couldn't hear anything. So what about you? At the time of Hai, you who are hardworking shouldn't have fallen asleep yet. Have you heard any movement?"

"Wei Zidu fights in the house with people, and the noise should be quite stirring."

Several people looked at me again, and I looked at you, but in the end, Qi Guoping, who had grown a little last year, stood up. He touched his beard, "I'm far away and didn't hear it. But I did not sleep at that time, and when I saw Wei Zi, I went downstairs twice at night."

Chi Shi became interested, "When did he go down and what did he do?"

"The first time, everyone else went out in a noisy way, and the lower head suddenly became quiet. I saw Wei Zi holding the dishes and chopsticks and going down to get the whole roasted lamb that he had not finished. The sheep was very fat and the scientific examination was about to come. Although he was greedy, most people were restrained and did not dare to eat too much too greasy things."

As Qi Guoping said, he touched his nose with a little embarrassed, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it. Those who can hide here are all so poor in their pockets. Usually, we are used to eating vegetarian foods such as boiled vinegar and vinegar. When we start meat all of a sudden, it is easy to be unable to melt and will cause diarrhea."

"Wei Zidu is the most responsible person on weekdays. He refuses to eat the food he gives to him, and has a bad relationship with Brother Meng. He took advantage of the fact that he left and then went down to cut the meat and brought it up."

"You used a word to cut. Was Meng Jiangyan's knife still underneath at that time?" Chi Shi asked again.

Qi Guoping shook his head, "I didn't see clearly. My door was opened in a crack. I saw Wei Zi holding meat, but I didn't see a knife. But Brother Meng didn't lie. He drank a drink and poured it down, and then went back to the room to rest. We had just started eating sheep at that time."

"The dagger is used to cut flesh. It has been downstairs and no one takes it."

Cui Jiangyan, who was standing beside him, looked at Qi Guoping with a touching look on his face, "Thank you, Brother Qi, for witnessing me."

Qi Guoping's old face turned red and he touched his nose again, "The second time, he came out in his middle clothes. It should be as I said, after eating, he couldn't melt it, and he wanted to give up. But he just walked to my door and turned back... It was the hour of Hai."

"My house is far away from his house, I don't know what happened inside. Li Ren and Liu Yong, let's talk about it, they study together on weekdays... There are not a few days in the spring exam, and Wei Zi is the one among us who has the most hope of passing the exam... It's a pity."

The person named Li Ren was a little fat man. His eyes were round. When he heard his name, he shook his head quickly, "I am different from them. They are hiding in the house to study, and I am hiding in the house to sleep."

"I'm not poor, I'm a native of the capital. My mother, who roars at my Hedong lion at home every day, grabs my ears, and asks me to study, would be almost hanging her head and thorning her head. I've been unable to sleep well and I've lost three taels of weight!"

"Your coroner, before asking, don't check it out clearly. Why is it called Jing Academy? It's because it's so quiet. Not to mention fighting, you can't even listen to the firewood in the house! Now, it's time for me to die. My mother should feel that it's unlucky and will not let me live here!"

Li Ren said, looking at Liu Yong, "You said, have you been out with Wei Zi? That time, he came back wet. He also said that he saw someone fall into the water and saved people bravely. Wei Zi is from the southern part of the country and has a very good water quality.

He was afraid of catching a cold, so he forced himself to buy a pack of tonics from me, which made me lose three or three taels again!”

When Liu Yong heard this, he nodded and shook his head, "It's because of this, but have you been out with Wei Zi?"

That night, I heard nothing. Didn’t Qi Guoping’s door be kept open? If I came up from the first floor, he would have seen it. We all passed the Juren and then came to take the Jinshi exam, even if we failed the exam.”

"When I go back to my hometown, I can be a rich man and be respected as a juren. Why should I kill someone? Wei Zi is all right to us. If he passes the exam, we might be able to be a master for him and make a fortune. I really can't think of any reason to kill him."
