Zhu Ming

Zhu Ming was the victim in With a Light Heart (Case #25 of Venusville).

Profile
Zhu was a Chinesse woman and a antique shop owner with long dark brown hair and black eyes. She wore grey flower-patterned kimono with organe shirt underneath it.

Murder Details
Zhu was found killed at her shop with her head bashed in. Philip Perry said that the killer hit her only once, but it was enough to make her die from blunt force trauma. By the angle of the wound, Philip deduced that the killer must be right handed.

Killer and motives
The killer was revealed to be her assistant, Joe Turner.

Upon admitting to the murder, Joe said that Zhu was planning to fire him because he was too fat to work. Joe started working at Zhu's shop because his parents were constantly telling him that he isn't doing anything with his life after he dropped out of college. When he started working, everything was going fine, until few customers started making fun of him, making Zhu think that people are only using him as a joke. One day, she told him that he is ruining the reputation for her shop and the best thing for him is to leave. Since Joe didn't wanted to dissapoint his parents, he took glass lamp, waited until Zhu was alone and struck her over the head as hard as he could. Judge Grayson Pierre then sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
