At the group discussion that afternoon Zhang Chi put forth a bold conjecture “What if Xiao shi+lin, as injured on the scene, is the real suspect?” He had in fact said what Gu Zhichang had been thinking and turned Gu shi+’s work upside down He knew that Gu Zhichang would never mention it openly without clear-cut evidence He didn’t care who solved the case, but he couldn’t stand and unsolved case

The criation report made, Gu shi+ rushed in fro why the fingerprints on the wallet belonged to her One moment she said she had opened it after the incident; the next moment she said she had previously taken rand all that blood? She fu, but she wouldn’t answer any more questions”

After listening to everyone’s discussion, Gu shi+before, what kind of knife wound would make someone pass put but not be fatal? Was it luck or inevitable consequence? I paid special attention to the state of her wounds and their location, and conducted further inspections and measurements”
