After pondering for a long time, Chu Nanzhi slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Jinxiao, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I heard from the patriarch that Jin Hui and Lin Sanniang often have disputes, and they will always end up fighting to the death."
"I heard that this happened."
Lin Jinxiao took the dagger and put it back on the white cloth on the table: "And it was Lin Jinlan who took out this dagger to scare Lin Jinhui away last night."
"It seems that your clan uncle is very fond of this concubine, and even allowed her to hide a sharp knife in the bedroom."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Some memories suddenly appeared in her mind. The Great Harvest Empire had some regulations regarding the control of civilian knives. Except for kitchen knives and hatchets, military knives were not allowed to be kept privately in the home.
The daggers on the table meet the standards of military knives in terms of sharpness and length. If you want to buy such a sharp weapon at home, you must register it with the government.
Since it is a registered tool, you have to take risks if something goes wrong.
Lin Jinxiao slowly sat down on the stool next to the tea table and couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Clan really doted on Lin Jinlan a little too much. I heard the maid in the courtyard said that this dagger was obtained by Clan Uncle from a merchant.
, when Lin Jinlan wanted to use it for self-defense, Uncle Clan agreed without even thinking about it."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in sudden realization.
No wonder that stinky girl Jin Hui ran away yesterday when she saw Lin Sanniang dragging her along. She was so scared that she was running away from the god of plague.
It turned out that she was worried that Lin Sanniang would chop her with a knife.
She still remembered that Lin Jinhui said that Lin Sanniang was a troublemaker. What she saw at the family dinner last night was enough to prove his temper, and it was indeed what she said.
This young lady was jealous of Lin Sanniang, but she was also wary of the dagger in her hand. I'm afraid she had deep grudges, and if something like what happened last night happened, it would be understandable if she had murderous thoughts.
"Since this dagger is not the murder weapon, the top priority is to find the knife that matches the wound of the deceased."
Chu Nanzhi stared at Lin Jinxiao and said seriously.
"I've sent someone to find him."
Lin Jinxiao looked at her with warm eyes, his expression seemed a little solemn: "But even if the real murder weapon is found, it probably doesn't mean much. Judging from all the current spearheads, Lin Jinhui is indeed the most likely to kill Lin Sanniang.
The murderer."
The reason why he called Chu Nanzhi in alone and allowed her to conduct another autopsy was because he wanted her to be mentally prepared in advance.
Chu Nanzhi also knew the truth behind this. No matter who the real murderer was, since he chose to leave the dagger at the scene of the crime, it meant that the murderer was well prepared.
Moreover, the patriarch's house is not as tightly guarded as Taigong Zhao's house. There are not hundreds of guards patrolling the house, nor is there a high wall like an iron barrel to serve as a barrier.
In comparison, it is much easier for outsiders to sneak in.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of anyone other than Lin Jinhui who would do this to Lin Sanniang.
For a moment, she felt extremely confused.
It is a pity that there is no fingerprint identification in this era, otherwise the real murderer can be identified as long as the murder knife can be found.
"Let's go, go out first."
Lin Jinxiao stood up and motioned for her to go out together.
When they arrived outside the hospital, everyone in the Lin family was still waiting where they were, and even several elderly people poured into the backyard.
When such a big event happened, everyone would gather together and discuss with each other.
Seeing Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi, everyone calmed down and stared at the couple quietly.
Third uncle Lin Yuan immediately came forward and asked first: "Dalang, how are you doing? What conclusions have you drawn?"
Lin Jinxiao looked up at the sky, his expression became solemn and said: "Jinlan was indeed murdered."
"Let me just say that this good girl Jinlan will never commit suicide."
Lin Yuan had a gloomy face and acted extremely angry.
Afterwards, everyone looked fiercely at Lin Jinhui and Zhou.
At this time, the officers who were searching in the courtyard came over one after another and reported to Lin Jinxiao: "Sir, I am waiting in the courtyard and have searched carefully outside the courtyard. No suspicious signs were found, so we can rule out outside thieves."
Possibility of being hospitalized and committing murder.”
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but secretly take a look at the elders and the women around them. They all looked calm and composed, but it didn't look like they were harboring ghosts.
If an outsider is admitted to the hospital, there will definitely be some clues left behind.
Since the officers have carefully searched and made such a conclusion, they can basically rule out the possibility of outsiders being admitted to the hospital.
Da Chen glared at Lin Jinhui with a ferocious look and said loudly: "Sanniang has always been a kind and filial child. She never leaves the house or steps out of the door. How can any outsider come to harm her? It was clearly yesterday.
Wan Jinhui, that damn girl, got angry in her house, was dissatisfied and took revenge, and ruthlessly killed her while she was sleeping."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became even more indignant, and they all pointed their fingers at Lin Jinhui, pointing and saying:
"I've long thought that this stinky girl would cause such a disaster sooner or later."
"It's all because of her mother's pampering. If you send this dead girl to the official office today, you will suffer the consequences. It's just a pity for this girl Jinlan."
"The Zhou family has no way to teach their daughter, so she should be expelled from the clan and sent back to the clan."
"I'm afraid that it will harm Jin Yi's child."
"Then what else can we do? The officials are here. It's Zhou's own fault. Ting Zhen doesn't control her. Look at how they bullied Jiang Xiaoniang. They suddenly lost their daughter.
, I dare not even say a word of complaint."
Listening to the discussion of several elders and old women, Chu Nanzhi looked at Mrs. Jiang with burning eyes. She was about to cry without tears. Her whole body seemed to have lost any strength and she completely collapsed in Lin Tingzhen's arms.
, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
From the first moment I saw this woman, she never said a word.
Silence is also better than sound. The anger in Lin Tingzhen's heart was piled up layer by layer, and it had reached its peak at this time.
He stared at Lin Jinhui with round eyes and said angrily: "Jinxiao, take away this evil obstacle Lin Jinhui quickly."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't stand the extreme pointing and pointing tone around her. When she heard Lin Tingzhen's decisive words, her chest suddenly felt hot, she spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Mother."
Lin Jinhui struggled in the hands of the servants and shouted.
Chu Nanzhi hurriedly went over and supported Zhou with the maids, took her pulse, and found that her pulse was very disordered. He raised his eyes to Lin Tingzhen and said anxiously: "Auntie is worried about her heart. I am afraid there will be danger. The family
Uncle, after all, aunt is your married wife, you'd better send her back to her room to rest first."
Lin Tingzhen turned a blind eye, closed her eyes cruelly, and said categorically: "She has raised such cruelty and cruelty, and has harmed her brothers and sisters. Why should I sympathize with her?"
Chu Nanzhi sighed feebly.
Lin Jinxiao did not expect that the clan uncle could be so ruthless, so he had no choice but to wave his hands towards the officers: "Now that the clan uncle has spoken, I can no longer be merciful and take Lin Jinhui immediately to the county government for custody pending trial."
