Chapter 333 Wind direction reasoning
Seeing that Lin Tingzhen's expression softened, Chu Nanzhi went on to say: "No matter how small the movement at this courtyard gate is, it will not be quieter than the sound of footsteps. Everyone watched carefully just now, even if it is slight, it will make a heavy sound. Pinger can still hear footsteps on the fourth watch, which means that she is not in a deep sleep, even if the door is blown open, how could she not be aware of it."
Pinger nodded in thought: "On weekdays, whenever San Niang goes out, the servants will be able to notice."
"So you heard the sound of the door being blown open by the wind. That was the illusion left to you by the murderer deliberately opening the door after committing the crime."
Chu Nanzhi's eyes were full of determination: "This courtyard is located in the middle of the backyard, and there are rockeries and corridors on the left and right to block it. It's not an air outlet. It's probably difficult for ordinary wind to blow the door open."
After finishing speaking, she ordered Li Sanmu to close the door, and sent someone to pick a few banana leaves from the yard and slammed them against the door without putting the bolt in. After a long time, the door still remained motionless.
Chu Nanzhi signaled everyone to stop their movements, and said with a smile: "Although the wind blown by this manpower is not as powerful as the strong wind, I think the recent weather and sky are not abnormal, and the wind direction has been stable. The wind is stronger,
Besides, the temperature on the ground is higher during the day, so the wind blows from the water surface to the house, and the wind is the strongest during the day, so we can feel the cool breeze, but at night, the ground dissipates heat faster than the water. The direction of the wind will only blow from the land to the water, and the wind is relatively weak. How can the door that cannot be blown open during the day be blown open by the wind at night. "
Speaking of this common sense of physics, I am afraid that few people can understand it.
She deliberately found a piece of white paper and lifted it into the air with her hand, and it was immediately clear at a glance.
The breeze blew from the distant pond, curling up her hair scattered around the earlobe, and moved it slightly towards the courtyard together with the paper.
Lin Tingzhen immediately understood, his eyes were full of dignity: "It seems that the murderer did not enter through the main entrance."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi led Lin Tingzhen and Li Sanmu into the room, pointed to the closed willow window at the deformed corner and said, "So the murderer can only come in through the willow window to commit the crime and escape."
Lin Tingzhen frowned, went to open the willow window, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's not easy to enter through the willow window. There is a lotus pond under the window, which is connected to the opposite garden, and the rockery and arch bridge next to it are far away. , if you don’t enter through the main entrance, you can only swim out of the window.”
"So what I want to ask is, can Mrs. Zhou know the nature of water?"
Chu Nanzhi saw that he had guessed about this in the past, so she took advantage of the situation and hurriedly asked.
"She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, so she doesn't know anything about water."
Lin Tingzhen said with contempt: "When she just married into the mansion, she was not used to the landscape of the mansion. Once, she almost fell into the pool in the backyard. If it wasn't for your uncle and me, she would have almost drowned." .”
"And I heard that Jin Hui is also a landlubber and lives in the attic, so they can't kill San Niang."
Chu Nanzhi smiled in relief.
"Could it be that someone else in this yard really wants to murder that girl Jinlan?"
Lin Tingzhen became extremely melancholy and confused.
There are only a few people living in the backyard, and the rest of the handymen live in the front and middle yards. Except for Zhou's mother and daughter who hate Jinlan, who else would want to kill her?
Chu Nanzhi looked at his serious face, and then reminded him: "Uncle Clan, think about it carefully, is there anyone in this backyard who knows the nature of water?"
"Even if not."
Lin Tingzhen answered without thinking.
This made Chu Nanzhi smile slyly.
It seems that he doesn't know much about his concubine.
I'm afraid Jiang Xiaoniang didn't hide one or two things from him.
Lin Tingzhen still believed that it was the Zhou family who killed Lin Sanniang, and said firmly:
"Even though your analysis just now, niece and daughter-in-law, is quite reasonable, the boning knife that killed Jinlan was found in the yard of that wicked woman. I'm afraid no one can frame her for this. Could it be the girls in her yard? It might be because Ping'er, a dead girl, is too lazy to eat like this, and she didn't notice the movement of the door being pushed open."
Chu Nanzhi sighed helplessly, not knowing how much he hated Zhou, so longing for her to kill someone.
After thinking about it, I had to discuss it with Li Sanmu: "Master Gongcao, you have to send some people to look carefully outside the willow window. I will accompany the patriarch to Mrs. Zhou's courtyard again."
Now that the clues have been found, how the murderer framed the Zhou family can always be found.
After hearing this, Li Sanmu took action immediately, and dispatched several guards to follow Chu Nanzhi and Lin Tingzhen to the main courtyard.
Along the way, Chu Nanzhi paid careful attention to several buildings in the backyard and the structure of the main courtyard.
The entire Chongrenfang was actually separated from the former Pingning Palace. Although each house has undergone minor repairs over the years, the overall structure still maintains the original state of the year.
Lin Tingzhen's home should be the main location of the Pingning Palace back then, and the overall appearance looks like a very unique garden.
From the main hall to the backyard, there are two corridors connecting on both sides. There is a stone arch bridge in the middle, and there are many rockeries everywhere. Whether it is from Langfang or stone arch bridge to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhou lives, the final location is the main entrance.
As long as the courtyard door is closed, there is no way to enter.
If you want to hide the boning knife in her yard, I'm afraid you can only find other ways.
Standing on the stone arch bridge, Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw the shade of green willows everywhere. It was the season when the lotus bloomed. The lotus leaves and the green willows set off each other, and the water in the pool was reflected so green that it was impossible to see the color of the bottom of the water clearly. , only the jagged and strange rocks by the pool are exposed on the surface of the water, all the way to the west corner of Zhou's courtyard.
When they arrived at the Zhou family's courtyard, Chu Nanzhi was shocked at first, and looked at the pool in the courtyard with rounded eyes, and said in a voiceless voice: "I remember that the water in it was drained by someone sent by Li Langjun. In just one or two days, the pool is almost full again?"
The servants who came with them were also at a loss when they saw this.
Lin Tingzhen looked even more puzzled. He had lived here for half his life, and it was the first time he saw someone drain the water in the pool. If it wasn't for the murder case, he would have almost scolded these vicious servants.
If there are only bare rockeries left, it will affect the view.
Chu Nanzhi's mind was running fast, calculating the distance from the pool outside the courtyard to this place, and finally understood the reason, and happily told the guards around him: "Drain the pool again, and find the source of the water inflow. "
Lin Tingzhen glanced at her deeply.
I only have such concerns, but this stinky girl wants to destroy the Feng Shui in the courtyard, it is really annoying.
Just as she was about to stop her, Chu Nanzhi quickly explained with a smirk on her face: "I will definitely give my uncle a satisfactory explanation today, how the murderer put the boning knife into this pool will be revealed in a while. "
