Chapter 295: murder weapon
Chapter 295 The murder weapon
Hearing the noise outside, Lin Tingzhen finally walked out of the house slowly.
He and an old nanny supported the teary-eyed Jiang Shi, his face was gloomy and colorless.
Chu Nanzhi fixed her eyes on the legendary Jiang family, and saw that she was dressed in red and plain, with spring water in her eyes, her delicate and delicate beauty was more beautiful than flowers, and she walked with a slender waist and slight steps. , she is indeed a delicate beauty, very enchanting and charming.
Although she is already the mother of a fifteen-year-old child, she still looks charming and doesn't look old at all.
"Cough, she is really a woman raised in a boudoir."
Thinking of Liu Yun, who was almost the same age as her, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Everyone was a little anxious when they saw that Lin Tingzhen didn't speak.
The second uncle Tan began to urge: "Ting Zhen, people cannot be resurrected after death, you and Xiaoniang Jiang, don't be too sad, your uncles are waiting in the hall, you should go out and give everyone an explanation, our clan There is no place in China for a murderer."
The pointed words directly pointed the finger at Zhou's mother and daughter.
"What else do I need to explain, the facts are right in front of my eyes, and the officials are here too, Jin Hui, a dead girl, killed her sister, so she will naturally pay for her life."
The third uncle, Mrs. Chen, puffed her cheeks, and stared at Lin Jinhui with her old eyes.
Lin Jinhui was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she desperately shook her head and explained earnestly: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't kill her."
"Shut up, you mother and daughter are the only ones who hate Sanniang in this yard, it's either you or your mother, could there be someone else?"
Big Chen reprimanded Lin Jinhui decisively, and then turned to Lin Tingzhen: "You are not a good lady, you have no way to teach a daughter. You should have retired and expelled from the clan and returned to her natal family."
Mrs. Zhou listened dryly, unable to refute, her complexion was terribly pale.
Lin Jinhui sobbed and faltered: "You...you can just blame me, why are you accusing my mother?"
"shut up."
Lin Tingzhen was furious, and finally spoke out to reprimand Lin Jinhui, and finally looked angrily at the silent Zhou.
At this moment, Lin Jinxiao led the guards and walked over.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure in the crowd, he frowned at her angrily, and Chu Nanzhi understood and had no choice but to go back to him.
Thinking about the matter in Haining County, she first asked in a low voice: "Have you finished dealing with it?"
Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips and nodded lightly: "Well, I asked You'an to go to the county captain's mansion and transfer 500 soldiers to head to Haining County first."
Mrs. Chen saw that the husband and wife were whispering to each other and didn't know what they were muttering, and immediately ordered dissatisfied: "Jin Xiao, you came just in time, let the messengers arrest Jin Hui, the murderer, and put him in prison."
Lin Jinxiao glanced coldly at Zhou Shi and Lin Jinhui who were still crying, and then at Jiang Shi who was weeping in Lin Tingzhen's arms. When he entered the door, he had already heard the ins and outs of the matter. According to the rules of the county government, he He didn't immediately agree to Da Chen's request, but turned to Chu Nanzhi and said in a solemn voice, "Let's go to the scene of the crime for an autopsy first and then make a decision."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Chu Nanzhi and walked towards Lin Jinlan's yard.
The small courtyard where Lin Jinlan lives is located in the northwest direction, sandwiched between the residences of Mrs. Jiang and Lin Jinhui. At this time, it has been surrounded by guards, and no one dares to approach at will.
Lin Jinxiao ordered the Lin family to be blocked outside, while he brought Chu Nanzhi and two guards straight into the house.
The layout of the house is quite satisfactory. There is a separate guest room and bedroom, and there is a side room next to it. From this, it can be seen that this family treats the concubine girl differently.
Entering the bedroom, Chu Nanzhi glanced at it, the old office worker of the county government was already waiting in the corner, and Lin Sanniang, who had long since passed away, was lying on the bed.
Looking down from the head of the bed, there was a puddle of blood that was gradually congealing on the ground.
Lin Jinxiao ordered the guards to wait in the living room, then casually looked around the room, and said to Chu Nanzhi in an unhurried manner: "I just came here for an autopsy with Wu Zuo, and Lin Jinlan was indeed murdered."
"Since I have already experienced the corpse, why bring me here again?"
Chu Nanzhi showed confusion.
"You seem to care about your sister-in-law?"
Lin Jinxiao didn't answer her question right away, thinking that she tried her best to protect Zhou's mother and daughter just now, and felt a little worried.
Based on his heart, he didn't want this woman to ask too much about the Lin family's affairs, and if she didn't get any good, she would end up causing a commotion.
"I don't really care about it, but I feel that these uncles are deceiving too much, and I feel a little sympathetic to what happened to their mother and daughter."
Chu Nanzhi answered very pertinently.
"That's good."
Lin Jinxiao nodded in thought, took the autopsy record from Zuo Zuo and handed it to her, and said in a soft voice, "Take a look."
Chu Nanzhi hesitantly took the case file and read it carefully. It recorded the death condition of the deceased and detailed description of all aspects of the wound.
Lin Jinxiao quietly looked at her meticulously reading the file, and the warmth in his heart began to rippling uncontrollably.
It turned out that she was so charming when she was quiet.
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes inadvertently, and found his squinting eyes, she immediately lowered her face, and asked angrily, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Jinxiao shook his head indifferently, then said, "What did you notice?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at the corpse on the bed while flipping through the autopsy records, and said slowly: "Lin Sanniang died peacefully, and there were no other wounds on her body except for the fatal knife wound on her abdomen, which means she was killed in a peaceful sleep. murdered."
"good."
Lin Jinxiao nodded slightly: "I just asked Lin Jinlan's maid, after Lin Jinhui came to the room to argue with her last night, Lin Jinlan's daughter Jiang brought her soothing soup, she fell asleep after drinking the soothing soup, so someone wanted to kill her It's easy for her."
After finishing speaking, he walked to the tea table, picked up a dagger wrapped in white cloth on the table, handed it to Chu Nanzhi, and motioned:
"This is the murder weapon left in a pool of blood."
Chu Nanzhi took the dagger and inspected it repeatedly, and suddenly found something strange.
Looking at the clean white cloth on the table, she looked around at the old Wu Zuo and couldn't help asking, "Why is there only blood on one side of this dagger?"
Old Wuzuo waved his hand: "It's like this when the old man picks it up from a pool of blood and examines it."
"It is true that only the side that landed has blood on it."
Lin Jinxiao smiled meaningfully: "My lady, what do you think this means?"
"If this dagger is the murder weapon, it should be stained with blood on both sides."
Chu Nanzhi replied.
He quickly lowered his head to check the autopsy records, compared the dagger in his hand, and continued after deliberation:
"The wound of the deceased recorded by the old man was sharp at one end and wide at the other. The width of the wound was more than an inch and the depth was no more than two inches. However, this dagger has sharp ends and an even thickness. It is about three inches long and less than five cents wide. This shows that this dagger is not The murder weapon."
At this point, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought.
