Qiu Ziming stepped forward, felt Master Li's pulse, and shook his head at everyone, "He's dead."
The faces of the people present were not very good.
Qian Tong pointed at Xiao Mo'er and said, "He is a murderer. He killed the Master."
"Shut up." Master Zhou shouted.
Qian Tong immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Master Zhou Qiu Ziming said, "Go and inform the people in the yamen and ask them to come over."
Qiu Ziming's expression changed, "Master, Zimo can't be the murderer."
Geng Junhua then said, "Yes, Zimo has no reason to kill Master Li."
Qian Tong, standing by, was unconvinced and immediately retorted, "When I came in, I saw him standing next to Master Li, and Master Li died right in front of him. If he's not the murderer, then who is? Did you kill him, or did you all?"
Qian Tong pointed at Qiu Ziming, then looked at Geng Junhua and Hu Qingming.
"There are only a few of us in the academy. It's either him or one of us." Qian Tong said in a deep voice.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Mrs. Zhou said, "No matter who it is, what we need to do now is to find the authorities and let them investigate. No matter who the murderer is, he will not escape the law."
"Master is right." Qiu Ziming and others said in unison.
Master Zhou said to Hu Qingming, "Go and inform Master Li's family."
Master Zhou gave instructions one by one, and after the two of them left, he called Xiao Zimo and Qian Tong over.
"Tell me what happened at that time. No exaggeration. Tell the truth." Master Zhou looked at little Zimo, "Zimo, you speak first."
Xiao Moer said calmly, "Master, a quarter of an hour ago, Senior Brother Ziming told me that Master Li was looking for me. I came here and saw Master Li lying on the table when I entered. As I approached Master Li, I smelled blood. Fearing that Master Li had met with an accident, I helped him up and saw a knife stuck in his chest. Just as I was about to leave, I told you that Senior Brother Qian Tong came in and he started shouting about killing people. You all know what happened after that."
Master Zhou nodded, then looked at Qian Tong, "What about you?"
"Master Li asked me to write an article a while ago, and I happened to finish it today, so I brought it here. When I walked into the room, I saw Mu Zimo standing next to Master Li, and Master Li had a knife stuck in his chest. I panicked and shouted, and then you came."
"Have you ever seen Zimo committing a crime?" Master Zhou asked again.
Qian Tong shook his head. "No. When I arrived, the knife was already stuck in Master Li's chest. But if it wasn't Mu Zimo who killed him, who else could it be? When I came here, I happened to run into Ziming. According to Mu Zimo, Ziming didn't have time to kill. And Geng Junhua and Hu Qingming are even less likely. They were still studying in the room before I came. As for you, Master, it's even less likely that you are the murderer. The only person who could have done it is him."
After analyzing it this way, this is really the only possibility.
Master Zhou frowned, "Don't make random guesses before this matter is fully investigated."
"Yes, Master." Qian Tong responded reluctantly.
It was obvious that the Master was favoring Mu Zimo. Ever since his arrival, he had become the darling of both Master Li and Master Zhou. In the academy, whenever there was a question or answer session, his name was always called upon, while the others were merely supporting characters.
