Bold words are the clues the game highlights.
That morning, Old Ding unearthed a jar of gold.
The jar was first stored at the County Office, and then it was moved to the County Magistrate's house.
The gold was stolen while under the watch of He Yong at the county office, and during that time, only Tu Qisheng entered or exited.
He Yong patrolled the prison around Mao hour in the morning, when Tu Qisheng was still asleep.
The palm-shaped mark under Tu Qisheng's armpit matches He Yong's hand exactly.
Yesterday, when Mrs. Tu visited the prison, she brought food, and Tu Qisheng ate quite a lot.
After Mrs. Tu left, Tu Qisheng went to sleep, and his snoring was quite loud.
When He Yong came to patrol at 05:00, the snoring had already stopped.
No one else has entered or exited the prison in the past two days.
Tu Qisheng died at 05:00.
The cause of Tu Qisheng's death is suicide by hanging.
Tu Qisheng had taken a sedative before he died.
Tu Qisheng was drugged and then hoisted and hanged from the beam.
