Chu Nanzhi's eyes widened immediately, thinking that she heard wrongly, and asked again: "Sanniang, the daughter of the patriarch's concubine?"
Li Sanmu was not sure either. He looked at the servant blocking the door and asked sharply: "What is Madam Chu asking you?"
Several servants were trembling and did not dare to answer.
At this time, Lin Tingzhen heard the news and led two servants out of the courtyard quickly. When he saw the official figures, he looked suspicious and said: "Two officials, the case has not been reported to the house, why are you here?
"
"Uncle Clan, they are left behind by Dalang."
Chu Nanzhi explained: "I just moved here, and there are still a lot of things to move in Anlin Village. Dalang is worried that I will be too busy."
Lin Tingzhen frowned and nodded, with a sad look on his face.
"Uncle Clan, what happened at home?"
Chu Nanzhi asked anxiously: "The third sister was fine yesterday, how come she suddenly died?"
Lin Tingzhen buried his head in frustration, sighed repeatedly through gritted teeth, and his sleepy eyes suddenly squeezed into a thin line.
After thinking about it over and over, he raised his head and looked at Li Sanmu seriously, and said angrily: "I have sent someone to arrest the murderer. Let the two officials take him back to the county government and deal with him as he should."
Li Sanmu's thick eyebrows trembled and he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a confused look on his face.
Lin Tingzhen saw that the official had stopped where he was, and belatedly stared at Chu Nanzhi, and asked frustratedly: "Did Dalang go to the county government so early?"
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi frowned and nodded, looking at his dejected look, she asked again: "Who is the murderer? Could it be that someone from the house killed Sanniang?"
Lin Tingzhen hesitated to speak several times, and finally spat out a few words weakly: "It's that damn girl Jin Hui."
"Second mother?"
Chu Nanzhi was so frightened that she was startled: "That's not true. How could Jinhui kill someone?"
"These two sisters have always made people worry-free, and they would always get into a fight without stopping. There was another argument last night. Who else could it be if it weren't for her?"
Lin Tingzhen clenched her fists bitterly: "This damn girl, I really hate letting her come into this world in the first place."
Li Sanmu looked at Chu Nanzhi with doubts in his eyes, and quickly interjected: "Ms. Chu, I have already sent someone to the county government office to call someone. Why not let someone go in and protect the crime scene until Master Lin comes?"
Planning on it?"
"That's how it should be."
Chu Nanzhi said seriously: "Uncle Clan, it's better not to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing. I just came back from Haikang County. From my experience, this is not necessarily Jinhui's doing, unless she admits it personally.
."
Lin Tingzhen frowned and said hesitantly: "I have been watched by people in Jinlan's house. The two officials can go over."
After that, he ordered his servants to take Li Sanmu and another officer to the hospital.
"Uncle Clan, please take me to meet Jin Hui."
Chu Nanzhi requested sincerely.
Although she met this little girl for the first time yesterday, she still liked this sister-in-law. She was just a bit outspoken, but she didn't have any deep intentions.
She really couldn't believe that her sister-in-law would kill Lin Jinlan because of what happened last night.
Lin Tingzhen nodded hesitantly, and then led her into the courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of crying coming from a distance.
Looking over, she saw a group of servants escorting Lin Jinhui over quickly. Ms. Zhou followed the servants crying and fussing, but no one paid attention to her.
It was obvious that the servants had received instructions from Lin Tingzhen.
Chu Nanzhi ran forward, looked at the mother and daughter with blurred eyes, and asked anxiously: "Jin Hui, did you really kill your third sister?"
Lin Jinhui choked and shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I didn't. I just went to her courtyard to argue with her for a few words last night, and then went back to my room and fell asleep. I really don't know why she died suddenly."
Chu Nanzhi closed her eyes angrily.
This stinky girl is really angry. I thought she could take good care of her mother last night, but I never thought of going to another person's yard to quarrel again. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for herself?
Lin Tingzhen was already furious when he heard this. Just one more look at this useless daughter made him angry, and he cursed fiercely:
"You still dare to argue. The knife left in Jinlan's house was still bloody. The servants said that you were the only one who went to her yard before she went to bed last night. Could it be possible that your sister could kill herself to frame you?
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant hurried over and shouted at him breathlessly: "It's not good, it's not good, my lord, Miss Jiang has fainted."
Hearing the news, Lin Tingzhen was so anxious that he vomited a mouthful of blood, pointed angrily at Zhou's mother and daughter, and didn't say a word for a long time. Finally, he was helped by the servants and staggered to the west yard.
Chu Nanzhi sighed sadly. It was such an eventful year. Lin Jinxiao had just rushed to the county office to handle the Haining County Coast Guard report. Another murder occurred here.
She stared at the servants who were escorting Lin Jinhui, and then looked back and forth at the mother and daughter who were crying like pear blossoms. She had no choice but to go forward to support Zhou, and said in a gentle voice: "Auntie, don't worry, let's go first.
Go over and check out the situation."
Mrs. Zhou cried so hard that she couldn't speak. She tried to calm down for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a few words: "Nan Zhi, I believe this girl Jin Hui can't do such a thing."
"Um."
The situation was unclear now, and Chu Nanzhi did not dare to speak absolutely, so she followed Zhou's group to Jiang's yard in the west.
At present, everyone in the house thought that Lin Jinhui had killed someone. The maids guarding the courtyard gate did not allow Zhou and Chu Nanzhi to enter, so everyone had to wait outside the courtyard.
Listening to the heart-wrenching, heart-breaking cries in the room, Zhou and her daughter felt horrified.
Seeing this scene, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Although she didn't like Lin Sanniang, and even didn't think well of Mrs. Jiang last night, she lost her daughter so suddenly. This kind of pain is human and has to make people feel pity.
Everyone had been waiting outside the yard for a long time. Lin Tingzhen didn't come out either, but the elders from the Lin family came.
The third uncle, Mrs. Chen, was supported by her daughter-in-law. Under the leadership of several maids, she took the lead and rushed forward.
Seeing Zhou's mother and daughter, she slapped each of them one by one without asking the reason, and cursed angrily: "Madam Zhou, I said you have no tolerance for others, and some people still insist on defending you.
Now that this evil obstacle in your family has killed Sanniang, do you feel comfortable?"
After saying that, he covered his face and cried in pain: "My Sanniang, my good granddaughter, it's all my uncle who failed to protect you."
Chu Nanzhi felt angry and came to protect Zhou's mother and daughter. She shouted sternly: "Third uncle should tell some truth. Everyone is sad about Lin Sanniang's death. We can't do anything until we find out the truth."
