"Okay, Lin Jinyun, your second sister-in-law is pregnant. Please help her go back to rest as soon as possible. Your brother and I will explain everything about your second brother to everyone sooner or later."
Chu Nanzhi gave instructions in a lukewarm tone and asked He Ying to order a few sergeants to send them home.
Mrs. Chen, however, hugged Lin Jinhong's body tightly and refused to let go. She murmured to herself: "Son, how could my mother harm you? How could my mother harm you? My mother just wants you to take back my life."
What should belong to you, you should be the king of Pingning Province."
Tang Ru didn't expect that Mrs. Chen turned out to be a crazy person who could only dream in the daytime. Thinking of the scene where the princess and her sister were competing with Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife just now, he felt itching with hatred. This was totally not worth the gain.
.
No wonder Jiang Xueyi had reminded himself before not to make a big fuss out of the Chen family.
As expected, it was of no use, and instead made me look embarrassed.
I really don’t know how the wise and talented Lin County Magistrate back then could marry such a woman.
He sighed secretly, but heard Lin Jinxiao say in a cold voice: "Clean up the idle people and build a morgue for safe guarding for evidence collection."
Today, two women in the family caused such an embarrassing situation. Tang Ru was just thinking about going forward to show his courtesy. Lin Jinxiao said directly: "Today's matter is my family's business. Magistrate Peng has also arrived, so I won't bother the Governor."
Don’t worry any more. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies in Pingning Prefecture, the Commander-in-Chief is so enthusiastic about my family affairs. It might not be good for His Majesty to find out."
"Yes, I wanted to take care of His Highness's worries, but today the princess and my sister-in-law were very disrespectful to the Princess and Your Highness. Please be patient with Your Highness and the Princess."
Tang Ru was so frightened by his warning words that he froze, apologized in fear, then quickly glared at his sister who was still looking at Lin Jinxiao with a look of infatuation, and shouted loudly: "Get back to the carriage quickly."
Tang Yuanxi pursed her lips unwillingly, turned around and left helplessly.
"I am resigning."
Tang Ru didn't dare to stay any longer, and followed him away in disgrace.
After the Tang family left, Lin Jinxiao had people drag the crazy Chen down, and then brought the topic back to the case: "My wife just asked Qin's Erlang if he had any valuables with him before he went out yesterday.
Why is this?"
Chu Nanzhi bent down again, looked at all parts of the body, and explained in detail:
"Lin Erlang had no other wounds on his body, except for a fatal wound on his neck. This wound was right at the throat, about an inch wide, neat and precise. It can be seen that the murderer attacked him from the front.
, and the murderer must be a good hand with a sharp knife, and there is not even a single bruise on his body, indicating that the two of them had never fought. The murderer succeeded so easily, which shows that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime."
"An acquaintance committed the crime?"
While examining the wound, Lin Jinxiao recalled the group of bad friends around him in the past, and finally shook his head firmly:
"This wound is indeed unusual. It is difficult for ordinary people to have this ability. I'm afraid it is quite capable to kill Erlang without letting Erlang notice it. The scoundrels around him can't do it. What's more, Mrs. Qin just said that he had wounds on his body yesterday when he went out.
You brought two taels of silver, who would be interested in getting rich just for two taels of silver?"
"So there's only one possibility."
Chu Nanzhi blinked and said, "That means the murderer originally wanted to get rid of him."
"Who would hire such a powerful swordsman to assassinate such an insignificant libertine?"
Lin Jinxiao felt extremely puzzled.
"Indeed, he is an insignificant figure in your Lin family."
Chu Nanzhi frowned and stared at the corpse on the ground, and said with a smile: "But don't forget what your third wife said just now."
"It seems that someone really wants to use this matter to your disadvantage."
Lin Jinxiao frowned slightly: "Not many people know about Puo'an. Looking at the situation just now, Princess Qian and Captain Tang clearly want to identify you based on this matter."
This matter also made Chu Nanzhi feel puzzled.
That day at Puluo'an, no one except Li Ce, Sang Qi and herself knew about Lin Jinhong's assassination.
At most, she can be counted as Mrs. Qin, Wu Enrong’s biological mother.
However, this woman is already a monk who devotes herself to cultivation, so she will not cause trouble without reason.
If this matter had something to do with the old nun, Lin Jinhong should have informed him long ago.
After thinking hard in his mind, Chu Nanzhi suddenly thought of a person: "Uncle Sixth Emperor."
"Uncle Sixth Emperor?"
Lin Jinxiao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"I always feel that he knew about the assassination that day, otherwise he would not remind me again and again."
Chu Nanzhi said hesitantly: "If he instigated Lin Jinhong to assassinate me that day to frame the Third Emperor's uncle, then naturally he is killing Lin Jinhong now to target you and me."
"I don't see it."
Lin Jinxiao shook his head and denied it.
He still knew a little about Lin Tingyan's temperament. Even though he was vicious, he would never use women as bargaining chips.
What's more, Lin Jinxiao had already seen that the Sixth Emperor's uncle loved his wife and would not harm her.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the surrounding villagers and did not dare to make rash guesses. He looked at Lin Jinhong's body meticulously. When his eyes moved to the fingers on the left side of the body, Chu Nanzhi could vaguely see the fingernails.
Showing blood.
I continued to look back and forth, and unexpectedly found two crescent-like deep white pinch marks on my neck.
After careful comparison, it was discovered that the marks were actually made by him with his left hand.
"I just heard from Erlang's wife that he thought of preparing a sealed gift for us yesterday and also gave us a surprise."
Chu Nanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said urgently: "As Erlang's wife said, we don't lack anything now, and he, a prodigal, can't bring out any rare treasures. Since it is a surprise, after thinking about it, I can only think about it now.
One thing is really bothering us."
"Are you talking about the messenger who is offering a reward for his capture?"
Lin Jinxiao immediately guessed what she wanted to say.
"good."
Chu Nanzhi sighed regretfully: "Look, how could your brother have such perseverance on weekdays? Before he died, he must have pinched the injured neck tightly with his left hand to stop the bleeding, while his right hand was holding tightly
I caught the assassin and tried my best to keep him alive. To be able to do this must be due to some unshakable belief in my heart."
"It makes some sense."
Lin Jinxiao nodded in agreement. Xiaoerlang also imitated Chu Nanzhi's inspection of Lin Jinhong's left hand and carefully looked at the nails on the right side of the corpse. Suddenly he took out some fleshy fine powder from the nail gap and exclaimed: "Nan
Aunt Gardenia, what is this?"
Chu Nanzhi took it and spread it in the palm of her hand and inspected it repeatedly. It didn't look like it had been torn from the human body.
She happily leaned over and carefully examined the fingers of Lin Jinhong's right hand that were closely connected, and then found a small piece of intact flesh from the middle finger and ring finger.
I took it to the root of my nose and smelled it, and there was a strange powdery smell.
The skin is slightly thicker and more elastic than human skin, and looks like pig skin. Chu Nanzhi immediately thought of a familiar yet unfamiliar term: "disguise."
