Chapter 79: Evidence
"Senior brother Xiao is about to present his case." Shen Xu tipped his head towards Xiao Feng.
Seeing this, Song Wancheng narrowed his eyes but didn’t continue asking.
"Student Xiao Feng, have you investigated the circumstances of the case?" Elder Liu Min asked.
"Yes, elder." Xiao Feng nodded and began to explain.
"On the day in question, student Zhen Yuan injured student Shi Qiao. There is no dispute about this."
"After student Zhen Yuan and student Shen Xu left the White Hut restaurant, the fifth elder Shi arrived. The elder examined student Shi Qiao and diagnosed her state. After that, he asked the Shi cousins to take student Shi Qiao into a private box and gave her some pills to condition her body."
"Later, the fifth elder determined a level one bone mending pill was needed to treat student Shi Qiao. However, student Shi Qiao’s condition was so bad that only a peak-grade pill could cure her. Unfortunately, there was no such pill on hand."
"While waiting for the fifth elder to refine the bone-mending pill, students Shi Ping, Shi Meng, Shi Dong, and Shi Miao took student Shi Qiao to her dormitory. The four stayed with student Shi Qiao and waited for the fifth elder to bring the pill. Unfortunately, student Shi Qiao died before the fifth elder could refine the required pill."
After listening to the explanation, Ma Chengyi nodded and glanced at Zhen Yuan.
"Student Zhen Yuan, do you have anything to say on your defence?" The elder asked.
Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan frowned and looked at the Shi family.
