The on-site investigation was conducted by Lord Hu, along with his constables and coroner. I later reviewed their autopsy records and on-site investigation notes.

The reason why Liu's daughter-in-law was judged to have committed suicide is based on the following points: the deceased's toes were naturally drooping, and there were no external injuries on her body.

There was only one ligature mark on the neck, and it was shaped like a diagonal upward pull.

There was a footstool under the deceased's feet, and the body lay not far away. The rope used for suicide was also tied in a simple, indestructible knot.

The room was clean and tidy, with no signs of a struggle and no valuables missing.

Yue Fuguang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Has Lord Wei verified the relationship between Liu's wife, her husband, and other relatives?"

Was the footstool positioned exactly at the deceased's feet? Were the scratches on the beam inspected?

Seeing that Yue Fuguang was very concerned about the case, Wei Ping couldn't help but ask, "Does the Junior Tutor think there's something fishy about Liu's wife's suicide by hanging?"

Yue Fuguang didn't hide anything and directly expressed her question: "Lord Wei said that Lady Liu has two daughters and loves the two children very much."

Liu's husband was an only son in his family, and he had three married older sisters.

However, Liu's parents-in-law, including the children's father, did not like the two children.

Liu should have been well aware that if she were gone, her two daughters would only suffer even more mistreatment.

It is said that a mother's love makes her strong, and unless there is a life-threatening reason, Liu would never abandon her two daughters to die.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, she took her children to the lantern fair, bought lanterns for her two daughters, and also bought herself a wooden hairpin that she liked.

Her eldest daughter once said that her mother bought gifts, and the mother and daughter agreed to take them back to their maternal grandparents' house the next day.

And you found the wooden hairpin she bought in her bosom, not on her head.

All of the above suggests that it was impossible for Liu's wife to suddenly want to commit suicide.

In my opinion, this should be considered a murder disguised as suicide.

Upon hearing Yue Fuguang's analysis, Wei Ping immediately found it very reasonable. They only focused on the evidence that was readily available.

But they forgot to examine the deceased's behavior before his death, which was completely inconsistent with that of a person so desperate as to commit suicide!

"Little Pearl, can you help me investigate whether this Liu family daughter-in-law was murdered?"

【Master, wait for me a moment, it will be done soon!】 Fortunately, this case happened in the capital city, and the data of its gossip system was repaired a little bit, so it didn't take much of its energy.

Before the break was over, the system message arrived. As soon as it uttered the message, "Master, we've found it!", the people who had been gossiping instantly fell silent.

The seventh prince and the eighth princess returned to their seats and quietly picked up a book.

The fourth prince, who had just entered, couldn't help but sneer, "Seventh brother, I've only ever heard of reciting backwards fluently, never reading backwards fluently! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince realized that he had been holding the book upside down!

He immediately blushed with embarrassment, turned his head to the side, and ignored the fourth prince who was mocking him.

Seeing his silent demeanor, Xie Zhiwei suddenly felt bored.

This seventh brother is acting strangely today. If it were before, he would have argued with me quite a bit. Is he being so well-behaved today because...?

He glanced at the spot where the moonlight was, but found it even more boring. He instantly felt a little dejected and moved back to his seat.

Even his fifth and sixth younger brothers had gone to the next class, while he, as the older brother, was still studying with the children. Xie Zhiwei suddenly felt that life was dark!

"Little Pearl, how did Liu's wife die?"

Having read so many detective novels in his past life, Yue Fuguang finally had the opportunity to put what he had learned into practice. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Was theoretical knowledge really useful?

[The master guessed correctly; Liu's wife died from murder!]

Before it could continue, Yue Fuguang immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with the system's wording, "System, that wasn't a guess, it was reasoning, reasoning!"

[Alright, alright, the host is using reasoning, not guessing, okay?]

Master, can you guess who the murderer is?

"The Liu family, or rather, her husband?"

How did Master guess... and deduce that?

The onlookers, including Wei Ping, were also very curious, but it seemed that the Junior Tutor already had the answer in mind.

"Didn't Wei Ping say that the room was clean and tidy, no valuables were missing, and the deceased had no signs of resistance?"

The Liu family was considered moderately wealthy, with servants and gatekeepers, and outsiders generally couldn't get in.

Even if she were to enter the Liu family, it wouldn't be just to kill a daughter-in-law who has no say in her husband's family.

Therefore, I suspect it was an inside job, with the victim's husband being the prime suspect. Little Bead, tell me, am I right?

"Hehehe, the master is absolutely right. The murderer is the victim's husband, Liu Hong, the eldest son of the Liu family. That night, he sneaked into his wife's room from his study while she was asleep."

Smother him with a pillow until he is unconscious, then hang him up to create the illusion of suicide by hanging.

If Wei Ping examines the scratches on the beam and compares the height of the footstool as you suggested, he will find the clue.

After a moment of joy, Wei Ping was also filled with shame and embarrassment. He prided himself on his skill in investigating and solving cases, but he never expected to be fooled by such a small case!

Just then, Yue Fuguang said, "It seems that Wei Ping's professional skills need improvement. I remember you have quite a few related books."

Other advanced materials might be too difficult for him to understand. Give me Song Ci's "Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified" and find an opportunity to give it to him to read, so that there will be fewer wrongful convictions.

My favorite quote is, "Speak for the living, and advocate for the rights of the dead."

[This is simple. Wei Ping's thirty-fifth birthday is in a couple of days. The master can give him the book as a birthday gift.]

Moonlight nodded and praised, "Great idea!"

Wei Ping was overjoyed and secretly gave the divine artifact a thumbs up, while thanking the little immortal lord profusely!

The fact that "Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified" was praised by the Little Immortal Lord shows that it is no ordinary book.

Wei Ping, grinning with his big teeth but feeling like he was being scratched by a cat, couldn't wait for tomorrow to be his birthday.

With that grimacing expression on his face, before he even reached the Dali Temple office, news that Lord Wei Ping was suspected of having contracted a strange illness had already spread like wildfire.

First there was Huang Shouping, who farted badly, and then Zhang Tingji, who had to take leave because he was itchy all over. Now there's Wei Ping. Some of the adults accepted it well, but others couldn't help but feel uneasy!

Lord Wei has just returned from teaching at the Hongwen Academy. It is obvious to everyone who will be at the Hongwen Academy today.

Wu Yong and Feng Tang rolled their eyes at their colleagues, who were acting like frightened birds. Their Junior Tutor was not going to take the blame for Lord Wei's actions.

To find out what was going on, they all headed to the Dali Temple, where they happened to run into Cai Xian, who was hurrying along.

The group clasped their hands in greeting, needing no further words to understand the purpose of their visit.

As soon as Cai Xian entered the room and saw Wei Ping's 'face', he couldn't help but say, "I thought the rumors were wrong, but it turns out they're true! What did you hear from that person that made you make that face?"

Feng Tang said with a hint of reproach, "No matter what Lord Wei hears, he is being far too impulsive. Rumors are circulating that your 'illness' was caused by the Junior Tutor!"

You must quickly find a way to clear the Young Master's name!
