Chapter 335: I will tell you a story
Chapter 335 Let me tell you a story
Chu Nanzhi ordered two guards to swim out along the hole found in Zhou's courtyard to see where it led, and then followed Li Sanmu to Lin Sanniang's courtyard again.
The courtyard is surrounded by government servants, and the security is very tight.
Chu Nanzhi followed Li Sanmu out of the willow window, walked five meters west, and saw blood clotted on the stone ridge near the pool.
Li Sanmu faced her, and said suspiciously first: "This should have accidentally dripped from the boning knife."
Chu Nanzhi looked around, but found no other bloodstains, only this one.
She bent down, examined carefully, and saw that the faint blood that had long dried up formed a long and thin line, she shook her head in thought, and directly denied Li Sanmu's conjecture.
"The murderer swam over from the water. If my guess is correct, she will definitely take off her soaked shoes before entering the house when she gets outside the willow window, so as to reduce the noise."
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help looking at a raised stone not far from the bloodstain, squatted down and checked it repeatedly, and found that there were sharp edges and corners on the edge of the stone.
She suddenly realized and nodded: "In the dark night, the murderer's foot must have been accidentally scratched here, which is why the only bloodstain is left. Even if she puts the shoe on again here, she cannot continue to trace However, as long as the murderer can be found, in just a few days, the scratched wound on the sole of her foot cannot be covered up."
Li Sanmu nodded hesitantly, but suddenly became helpless: "But there are no clues, where to find the murderer."
Isn't this equivalent to talking for nothing?
Chu Nanzhi didn't answer immediately, but turned back into the house in deep thought, went outside and quietly waited for the news from the guards in Zhou's courtyard.
Not long after, the two guards rushed over with their bodies wet, and Lin Tingzhen followed behind with a gloomy face.
While wiping the water stains on their bodies, the guards reported: "Miss Chu, that burrow leads to the pond in the inner courtyard."
Chu Nanzhi twitched her thin lips happily, and made a wicked smile: "Uncle Clan, don't you want to know who is so knowledgeable about water? I'll let you see clearly. You can come and go freely in the water. Killing someone and stuffing the murder weapon from the bottom of the water into Mrs. Zhou's yard is not something that ordinary sailors in Luyan Port can do. I am afraid that only those who live by the sea or even work in the water for a long time will have this ability. ah."
"Girl Nan Zhi, who exactly do you want to suspect, please tell me clearly."
Lin Tingzhen's entire face turned dark.
In the past half a day, she has been emphasizing to herself that there is a woman who is good at water in the backyard, but this backyard is obviously full of delicate women.
Chu Nanzhi turned his head slowly to look at Li Sanmu, and said in a solemn voice: "Master Gongcao, if you want to know who got scratched on the sole of his foot, go to the west yard and get him."
"West yard?"
Li Sanmu's eyes widened: "Isn't that Jiang Xiaoniang's yard?"
When Lin Tingzhen heard this, he immediately became angry, and his expression was no longer the slightest bit good: "Mr. Chu, you are so lawless that you even suspected that your little aunt is Jinlan's biological mother. How could you murder your own daughter? You are simply ridiculous."
Immediately, he yelled directly at the crowd: "Get out of here, Mrs. Chu, you should get out too, what kind of litigator, I don't care."
As soon as Lin Tingzhen finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the corner: "The matter has come to this point, I'm afraid I can't let you, uncle."
Everyone heard the reputation and looked over, and saw that Lin Jinxiao led many people over, including officials and elders from the clan.
He walked up to Chu Nanzhi, smiled warmly, and then ordered to Li Sanmu solemnly: "Catch Lin Jinlan's biological mother, Mrs. Jiang."
"Dalang, what are you going to do?"
Lin Tingzhen was even more annoyed. There was nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, so he only dared to stare angrily at Zhou's mother and daughter beside him.
The Da Chen couple and Lin Bo couple who followed also looked annoyed.
Da Chen scolded with a sullen face: "Da Lang, I don't need to talk about other things, but if you want to slander your aunt out of thin air, you can't rely on her age. He has nothing to contend with in the world, and has never said a word of gossip about others."
"That's right, it's outrageous for you and your wife to bully honest people, perhaps because of Zhou's brainwashing."
Lin Yuan also accused.
Lin Jinxiao turned a deaf ear to what the couple said, looked at Chu Nanzhi calmly, and said with a smile: "You don't like the book I told you two days ago, but today I will tell you another one, you will definitely appreciate it." interested."
“.”
Chu Nanzhi glanced at him contemptuously.
What time is it, this little boy still has the time to mention something.
It's not serious.
Seeing that she didn't seem interested, Lin Jinxiao immediately added: "It's a story about a fisherman and an infatuated husband."
"Fisher girl?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, and probably guessed it. I'm afraid he also knew about Jiang Xiaoniang's past.
Did Mr. Zhao also look for him?
This old guy is really a person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges. His privacy is afraid of being known. To investigate Mr. Zhao Xiaolang's life experience, he would rather hire a private detective at a high price, but he publicizes other people's privacy.
Being so dishonest, he should have cheated him another ten thousand taels of silver today.
Lin Jinxiao casually looked around at the crowd, and began to speak eloquently: "It is said that in the distant Tong County, there used to be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, childhood sweethearts who grew up, but that woman was greedy for power and finally left her sweetheart and ran away with others. The fateful man Ya, disheartened, swung a knife from the palace and decided to follow the palace servants to the palace as an errand."
Why doesn't this sound like the same story?
Chu Nanzhi looked at him suspiciously.
However, Lin Jinxiao continued unhurriedly: "Who knows that something happened later, that woman was abandoned, and she became pregnant with someone else's flesh and blood before she was engaged to anyone, and she was almost drowned in a pig cage by her family. This poor woman After learning about this, my husband secretly rushed back and rescued his sweetheart."
Hearing this, Lin Tingzhen finally lost his patience, and interrupted him anxiously: "Dalang, you are now the county magistrate of Luyan Port, why are you so disrespectful? When is this time? Let someone get it for you!" Your little aunt, but you are here to tell everyone these insignificant things."
Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
It turns out that there is another episode behind this story.
The elders around him were quite critical of his attitude, but Lin Jinxiao remained indifferent and focused on telling the unfinished story: "Later, this poor man concealed his identity and fled to Luyan Port with his sweetheart. She even surrendered her sweetheart to someone else's house as a concubine, this kind of mind is really admirable."
The fourth uncle, Mrs. Wang, seemed to have heard something, carefully raised her head to look at Lin Jinxiao, and asked tentatively, "Dalang, the little lady you're talking about is Mrs. Jiang from Tingzhen Court, right?"
Lin Jinxiao fell silent pretending to be mysterious, and looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile: "I have finished telling the story, which one do you think is more emotional than the book I told the day before yesterday?"
"They're all infatuated."
Chu Nanzhi said briefly.
But where did that poor man go?
