Chapter 325: Invited by a mysterious person
Chapter 325 Invited by a mysterious person
Thinking of the situation when he rushed to the patriarch's house that day, Lin Jinxiao gritted his teeth and couldn't help but sneer: "The clan uncle and her little concubine are very generous, their daughter died tragically in the house, and they even let an old mother rush over immediately. "
"I heard that Jiang Xiaoniang prepared calming soup for each of them that night, so she must have slept a little deeper, otherwise Lin Sanniang would not have died without knowing her situation."
As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she immediately sensed something was wrong, raised her eyes to look at Lin Jinxiao, and asked in surprise, "Anshen soup?"
"Why is the soothing decoction so effective? I'm afraid it's because of the sweat medicine in it."
The more Lin Jinxiao thought about it, the more absurd he felt, and his suspicion of Jiang Shi became more and more serious.
After reading the dossier, although the train of thought in Chu Nanzhi's mind was much clearer, there were still many questions pressing on her heart.
She sighed slightly, and said lightly: "If it was Jiang's work, how did she hide the boning knife in Zhou's courtyard?"
Lin Jinxiao thought for a moment, then looked at her with frowning eyebrows, and reminded him seriously: "Do you think there is such a possibility that the murderer never walked through the main entrance, but sneaked into Lin Sanniang's courtyard from another place?" Killed someone, as for the footsteps heard by the maid Pinger, is it just a trick or throwing stones to ask for directions?"
Chu Nanzhi frowned and nodded: "You mean diving from the water?"
The reason why she ruled out Lin Jinhui's suspicion for the first time the day before yesterday was because her sister-in-law lived in the attic, Ming'er was watching in front, and behind the willow window was a pool of water, and her sister-in-law didn't know how to swim.
But Lin Sanniang's yard doesn't have an attic, so if she wants to sneak in through the water, and then climb into her house through the willow window to kill someone, it's not a bad idea.
For a while, the two of them suddenly became more enlightened.
Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips and thought for a while, then slowly said: "You go home first, I will interrogate Mrs Zhou again today, if she is willing to confess again, I will see if I can find a suitable reason to enter the Lin family again."
"Are you confident in persuading her?"
Chu Nanzhi asked.
After all, there is no strong evidence to identify Jiang Xiaoniang. Zhou is eager to protect her daughter and is not necessarily willing to regret the confession.
Lin Jinxiao blinked and smiled indifferently: "You leave Jinhui behind. With the wound on her neck, can the Zhou family rest assured that this family will be handed over to Jiang Xiaoniang?"
"You are getting smarter."
Chu Nanzhi's black eyes trembled and she smiled slightly, then stood up in peace.
Right now, as long as Zhou can repent, even if the information he has today cannot clear her of the suspicion, it will only be muddied by his own mouth.
It is now necessary to find evidence to support Jiang's theory of murder.
She was about to turn around when Lin Jinxiao grabbed her suddenly, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes: "You came to the county office just for your sister-in-law's business?"
"Well, what else?"
Chu Nanzhi was bewildered by his strange behavior.
After thinking for a while, he dared to answer: "I have already told my mother and Sang Kun about the repair of the house."
"anything else?"
Lin Jinxiao continued to question without giving up.
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows: "Well, the four little treasures are very good today, I will send father home later, and fetch the tiger treasure and the things left at mother's house for them."
Lin Jinxiao's face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally darkened, and he said sullenly: "Then you go."
"Oh, I'm not going to stay here for dinner."
"Just right, I didn't prepare for you either."
Lin Jinxiao let go of her angrily, and let her stride out of the county office.
"Who cares."
Chu Nanzhi arrived at the gate of the county government office, muttered angrily, and then jumped into the carriage.
Sang Qi saw that she was a little unhappy, and asked cautiously while driving the carriage: "What's wrong with the master, could it be that the master is mad at you?"
"none of your business."
Chu Nanzhi leaned in the carriage and replied casually, and then stopped suddenly when she heard the clatter of horseshoes.
Chu Nanzhi poked her head out depressed: "What's going on?"
Sang Qi didn't answer, but looked forward cautiously, only to see a group of rough men in the alley blocking the way.
Before Chu Nanzhi could speak, someone said first: "Ms. Chu, my master wants to see you."
"You know me?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at the group of unfamiliar faces in front of her in a daze.
The man just nodded slightly, and didn't answer.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the crowd, and said, "Who is your master?"
"Ms. Chu will know when she goes."
The man was mysterious and didn't answer her question directly.
Chu Nanzhi clenched her fists angrily, and declined angrily, "Then what if I don't go?"
As soon as she finished speaking, more than ten men immediately surrounded the carriage.
Chu Nanzhi's heart trembled, this is not too far away from the county government office, if someone dares to stop the carriage of a dignified fifth-rank official's wife in broad daylight, I'm afraid it's not a simple person.
Just as he was about to rebuke everyone angrily, the middle-aged man at the head persuaded again: "We have no malicious intentions, it's just that my master has ordered that Mrs. Chu is a benefactor of my master's house, so she must be taken there."
Hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi was even more puzzled. After thinking about it, she couldn't guess who actually invited her.
Chu Nanzhi was still hesitating, and the middle-aged man spoke again and added: "Whether Miss Chu will see my master today will determine the future of Luyan Port."
"Big thing?"
so serious.
Could it be about Jiang Xiaoniang's case?
Chu Nanzhi was suspicious for a while. Seeing that she was still hesitating, the middle-aged man rushed forward and whispered, "My master also said that he can help you deal with the Qi family. Doesn't Mrs. Chu want to come out?" This bad breath?"
This is a very tempting condition.
Chu Nanzhi probably guessed in her heart who wanted to see her.
As far as the entire Luyan Port is concerned, this person is indeed the only one who can compete with the Qi family.
After thinking about it, she finally decided to follow her to have a look, waved her hand to Sang Qi reassuringly, and whispered, "Let's go."
Sang Qi was still a little apprehensive, but when she heard the master's words, she had no choice but to obey, whipped the horse and continued to move forward slowly with the carriage in front.
The carriage came to a fork in the road, suddenly turned its direction and headed east, and finally stopped in front of an empty and magnificent courtyard.
"Master, we are here."
Hearing Sang Qi's call, Chu Nanzhi slowly got off the carriage, looked up, but it was not the mansion in her memory, and she couldn't help but feel a little on guard:
Could it be that my intuition has gone wrong?
Chu Nanzhi looked at Sang Qi with some unease, and whispered to her: "You said there is still time for us to run away?"
Sang Qi glanced at the group of strong men following up, then looked at the group of men, women, old and young who came out of the courtyard, and shook her head blankly.
Chu Nanzhi looked around with the mentality of being safe when she came, and saw dozens of male and female servants in simple shirts pouring out of the magnificent mansion ahead, and she was dumbfounded.
what's the situation?
Chu Nanzhi was feeling puzzled, but she heard the group of servants directly bowing to her and calling: "I have seen the master."
