Chapter 692: recidivist
Chapter 692 Habitual offender
Asked someone to take Zhang Wulang into Tingwei's Mansion, and Chu Nanzhi ordered his subordinates to sort out all the files and send them to his mansion.
Before it was dark, she wanted to go to the Zhang Mansion again, so after saying goodbye to Yin Enci, accompanied by Lin Jinshu, she led some officials from the Tingwei Mansion to rush to the scene of the accident .
The entire Zhang Mansion has been surrounded by people from Jingzhao Mansion and Tingwei Mansion since the incident happened, and the courtyard of the old Ting Wei Zhang Lu is not allowed to enter at will.
When they arrived at the gate of Deyuan, the guards guarding there saw the figures of Lin Jinshu and Chu Nanzhi, hurriedly came over to bow their hands and saluted, met the newly appointed female court officer, and introduced the current situation of the mansion.
Chu Nanzhi looked around, and found that there were not many footprints in the white surroundings, and there were several footprints leading directly to the courtyard, which had been marked and surrounded, and there was no trace of destruction.
Watching Chu Nanzhi staring at the courtyard in a daze, the yamen servant in front of the door hurriedly explained: "When Tingwei Shi entered the mansion, he specially told me to wait to keep the scene of the crime intact."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction.
It seems that Jing Zhaoyin and the people in Tingwei's Mansion are very careful.
There was snow in Jingling City last night, if outsiders wanted to enter and commit murder, it would be very difficult to erase all traces.
The officer said again: "We have searched carefully around the yard, and there is no sign of anyone climbing over and entering the hospital."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought.
In this way, it is not wrong for Jing Zhaoyin to speculate that Mr. Ting Wei died of murder by someone in the house.
But if you want to rule out the suspicion of Qian Xiaoniang and Zhang Wulang's mother and son, who else in this family will do anything to their lord?
Full of doubts, Chu Nanzhi led Lin Jin into the courtyard slowly.
The person handling the case had already divided the footprints on the ground, and they all entered along the courtyard wall. Chu Nanzhi observed that those well-preserved footprints also walked from the wall to the inside of the house.
Although Zhang Lu's body has not been returned to the family members of the family, it has been taken care of, and the body is mortuary in the study according to the symptoms at the time of death.
Chu Nanzhi stepped into the study, and looked around meticulously, only to see that even the bloodstains on the ground were still intact.
The official of Tingwei's mansion who followed in reported: "There is no trace of a fight in this study, and the autopsy only found a wound on Mr. Tingwei's body. The knife wound on the chest was as deep as the lungs. Five inches deep, almost through the back, and killed with one blow."
"Such a deep wound is probably not something that ordinary women can do."
Chu Nanzhi said thoughtfully.
Lin Jinshu marched and fought all the year round, and he was the most transparent about this aspect, and he nodded with deep approval: "I'm afraid that Jing Zhaoyin is indeed trying to deal with business affairs, and falsely accuses Miss Qian."
After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "Nan Zhi, do you think that Zhang Goro did it?"
"Son kills father?"
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned: "If it really is that Zhang Wulang is the last to see Lord Ting Wei, it is not impossible."
As he said that, the topic changed: "But just because Master Tingwei didn't agree to the request of the eldest lady to arrange errands for Zhang Wulang, the son would feel resentment and murder to vent his anger. He is the only heir in the world, even if he cannot be an official, he will not kill his father."
"People's hearts are unpredictable."
Lin Jinshu sighed weakly.
Growing up in the palace since she was a child, she has never heard of any horrible things. If Zhang Goro really killed his father, she would not find it strange, and he was drunk last night.
Chu Nanzhi was not in a hurry to argue with her, but gradually turned her eyes to the place where the corpse was buried.
Seeing that she had noticed Ting Wei's body, the subordinate officer pointed to the desk and hurriedly explained: "When the people in the house found Mr. Ting Wei dead, he was sitting at the desk. After the autopsy, Mr. Fu Yin ordered me to move the body. Come to the side."
Chu Nanzhi walked forward slowly, and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, but was taken aback by the sight in front of her.
I saw the old Tingwei's eyes wide open, and he died uneasy. He must have seen an unexpected scene before he died.
The subordinate officials also closed their eyes timidly, and said in surprise: "During the autopsy, Lord Ting Wei looked like this. Just now, the official asked Wu to close his eyes as Lord Ting Wei, why did he open them again?" ?”
"Naturally, I will never die with my eyes closed."
Lin Jinshu sighed with emotion.
Chu Nanzhi squatted down, carefully looked at the corpse, and found that Mr. Ting Wei's mouth was closed abnormally tightly, and his lips even had some symptoms of twisting.
"This is a bit weird."
Chu Nanzhi took a long breath and kept shaking her head: "It stands to reason that if a person sees something abnormal before death, he shouldn't be dumbfounded like this."
After finishing the sentence, he carefully opened the lips of the corpse, and found that the teeth had been tightly bitten together.
"Look, if it was just because Mr. Tingwei was surprised by what he saw before he died, his lips and teeth would never be so tight."
Chu Nanzhi's words immediately aroused Lin Jinshu's interest. She tried to widen her eyes several times, and found that at least one part of her lips and teeth would be slightly opened.
"If my prediction is correct, the murderer tightly covered Lord Tingwei's mouth, so that Lord Tingwei would not be aware of it and there is no room for resistance. This murderer must not be simple."
Chu Nanzhi stared at the corpse, and said suspiciously: "With such dexterous hands and feet, there is only one possibility of not arousing alertness, and that is the agile and habitual offender who is familiar with Lord Ting Wei in this house."
Hearing this, Lin Jinshu hurriedly looked at the officials of Tingwei's mansion, and asked: "Master Tan, you are also an old man in Tingwei's mansion, do you know that there is such a powerful person beside the old Tingwei?"
The subordinate officer pondered for a long time, then shook his head resentfully and said: "Master Ting Wei has always been alone, and there are no agile guards around him, and the one who follows him all the year round is only a groom over half a century old."
"Go and call that big lady in."
Chu Nanzhi gave instructions to the subordinates while concentrating on observing the corpse.
Not long after, the eldest lady of Zhangfu was brought in.
At this time, she was full of complaints about Chu Nanzhi's putting Zhang Wulang in the prison. As soon as she entered the door, she sneered and sneered, "Princess Pingning called the slave family in for what, could it be that she has noticed some new clues and thinks that the slave family is the one?" The culprit who murdered her husband?"
"Madam Ting Wei is too worried."
Chu Nanzhi knew that she was unhappy and that the resolution of the case was important, so she didn't bother to argue with her, but said indifferently: "It's just a routine thing to send Qian Xiaoniang and Zhang Wulang to prison. If their mother and son are really innocent, I will return them to you." They are all fair, but if the eldest lady is so unwilling to cooperate, there must be an explanation when she comes to His Majesty in three days."
Madam Tingwei realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately changed her attitude, asking in a gentle voice, "What doubts does Princess Pingning have, but it's okay to say."
Seeing her attitude change, Chu Nanzhi nodded in relief.
