Chapter 152
152 Theory
” You ..are you trying to say that the person who killed our aunt was ...” Zhai Tianyu’s eyes widened, it wasn’t that he hasn’t thought about it, he has but the thing was that he was willing to believe that something like this was impossible after all, his aunt’s in-laws and close friends were really good to her but now he realised that those people were no different than the people in the imperial palace while smiling at their faces they all were waiting for the right time to kill his aunt.
” But that is impossible,” Zhai Cheng was the first one to refuse the notion as he looked at Liu Hui Ying, he wasn’t willing to accept that the person who killed his aunt was someone whom he trusted, how could someone throw dirt in his eyes and kill his aunt right under his nose? It was impossible!
” I know that this is the most difficult thing for you to accept but it will be better for you to believe it as soon as possible,” Liu Hui Ying stayed firm as she looked at the men in front of her before she showed them the scars that week hidden under the deep gash that was left behind by the gash left by the wooden plank. ” If you carefully look at the stab, you will see that it is being covered by multiple stab marks, and these stab marks are made in a rather unprofessional way like the person who made these stabs did not have a stable hand while holding the sword.”
She then walked over to the drawing of the weapon that was used in the killing of Zhai Chenguang and then solemnly continued, ” The stab marks are thinner than the usual swords and the fact that the person who stabbed your aunt did not have a stable hand only proves that the person who is behind this killing is a person who has never picked up a sword in their entire life, which was why they gave the order of a light sword to be made.”
” But..” she paused as she once again walked back to Zhai Chenguang’s body and then looked at the stab wound again, her eyes flickering at the small bumps and uneven stab marks that were thin at the end but wider at the middle before continuing, ” But it seemed that the person who was behind this was someone in a hurry, they did give out the order for this sword to be made but then they seemed to have found out about the trip that your aunt was taking which was why they have taken this sword half made.”
She took off the glasses that magnified her vision and handed them over to Zhai Tianyu, seeing that he was hesitating she frowned. ” What is it?”
” That... it’s my aunt, how can I ...” he felt a bit awkward peering at the stab wound since it was right over his aunt’s heart. No matter what his aunt was still a woman how can he even look at her chest this closely?
” What nonsense !” Liu Hui Ying thrust the glasses that she had in his hands and then scoffed. ” You need to understand that when a person dies they are no longer a man or woman, they are just a body since there is no life in left in them which is why. And it is better for you to see the piece of evidence that I am finding with me, lest you or anyone say that I am wronging someone else by saving someone.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhai Heng who flushed red in shame and then lowered his head as he stared at the body that was in the coffin in front of him and then heaved a breath before he turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and nodded. ” You should take a look since the queen is asking–”
.....
“I am not asking, I am just saying this because I do not want to be troubled,” Liu Hui Ying interrupted before Zhai Heng could finish speaking, she narrowed her eyes and then slightly gave him a side eye before she continued speaking, ” I know that you three still do not trust me yet that is the only reason I am willing to share this investigation with you three, usually I do not allow the members of the dead to see the procedure of the investigation.”
She then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” Go on and take a look, we don’t want you to suspect me later on in case you don’t think things are not adding up.”
Zhai Tianyu hesitated for a while before he sighed and then placed the weird-looking glasses on the bridge of his nose. As soon as he placed the glasses on his eyes, he realised that the things in front of him seemed to have suddenly become enlarged as he turned his gaze at the wound that Liu Hui Ying has carefully spread open, he could indeed see the uneven stab marks that were not visible without the glasses that he was wearing.
” As you can see the marks are uneven, some of the marks are thinner at the edge but if you look carefully you will see that the wound are thicker in the middle,” Liu Hui Ying told him and Zhai Tianyu did look at the centre of the wound and he was surprised to find that the wound was indeed a bit thicker when compared to the edge, after looking he gave the glasses to Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun one by one such that they can see it too.
While the three men were looking at the wounds, Liu Hui Ying continued with the theory that she has come up with. ” From what I think is that the person behind did not have the information of your aunt’s trip but found out about it suddenly which was why they took the sword that was unfinished to kill your aunt but the sword being heavier than they could hold ended up causing the stab marks to be uneven like this, they must have thought that it might give them away which is why they stabbed your aunt with something bigger to hide their flawed murder.”
