He asked people to take Zhang Wulang into Tingwei's mansion, and Chu Nanzhi also ordered his subordinates to sort out all the files and send them to his mansion.
While it was still dark, she wanted to go to Zhang Mansion in person again, so after saying goodbye to Yin Enci, accompanied by Lin Jinshu, she took some officials from Tingwei Mansion and hurried to the scene of the incident.
.
The entire Zhang Mansion has been surrounded by people from Jingzhao Mansion and Tingwei Mansion since the incident. Even the courtyard of the old Tingwei Zhang Lu is not allowed to be entered by anyone in the family.
Arriving in front of the gate of the courtyard, the officers guarding there saw Lin Jinshu and Chu Nanzhi, and hurriedly came over to salute the newly appointed female official, and introduced the current situation in the house.
Chu Nanzhi looked around and found that there were not many footprints in the white surroundings, and several footprints leading directly into the courtyard had been marked and surrounded, showing no trace of damage.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi looking at the courtyard in a daze, the government servant in front of the door quickly explained: "When Tingwei Shi entered the mansion, he specifically told us to keep the crime scene intact."
Chu Nanzhi nodded happily.
It seems that Jing Zhaoyin and the people in Tingwei Mansion are very careful.
There was snow in Jinling City last night. If outsiders wanted to enter and commit crimes, it would be difficult to erase all traces.
The officer added: "We have carefully searched all over the yard, and there is no sign that anyone has entered the hospital."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully.
In this way, Jing Zhaoyin speculated that Lord Tingwei died due to a murder committed by someone in the palace, which is not wrong.
But if we want to eliminate the suspicion of Qian Xiaoniang and Zhang Wulang's mother and son, who else in this house will take action against their master?
Full of questions, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu slowly stepped into the courtyard.
The person handling the case had already divided the footprints on the ground, and they all entered along the wall of the courtyard. Chu Nanzhi observed that the well-preserved footprints also walked from the wall to the inside of the house.
Although Zhang Lu's body has not yet been returned to his family members, it has been taken care of by someone, and it was buried in the study according to the symptoms at the time of death.
Chu Nanzhi stepped into the study and looked around carefully, only to see that even the blood stains on the ground were still intact.
The official of Tingwei's mansion who followed him reported: "There were no traces of a fight in this study. An autopsy was conducted and only one wound was found on Mr. Tingwei's body. The knife wound on his chest was as deep as his lungs. It was almost as deep as
Five inches deep, it almost penetrated the back, killing him with one blow."
"Such a deep wound is probably beyond the reach of ordinary women."
Chu Nanzhi said thoughtfully.
Lin Jinshu, who has been marching and fighting all year round, is the most knowledgeable about this aspect, and he nodded with deep understanding: "I'm afraid that Jing Zhaoyin did framed Miss Qian just to deal with the business."
After thinking about it, she hesitated and said: "Nan Zhi, do you think it was Zhang Wulang who did it?"
"The son kills the father?"
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned: "If it is true that Zhang Wulang was the last to see Lord Tingwei, it is not impossible."
As he said that, the topic changed: "But just because Master Tingwei did not agree to the request of the eldest lady to arrange errands for Zhang Wulang, the son would feel resentful and kill someone to vent his anger. This seems a bit unreasonable, not to mention that Zhang Wulang is the government official."
The only heir to the throne, even if he cannot be an official, he will not kill his father."
"The human heart is unpredictable."
Lin Jinshu sighed weakly.
Growing up in the palace, she had never heard of any horrific things. She would not be surprised if Shogoro actually killed his father, and he was drunk last night.
Chu Nanzhi was not busy arguing with her anymore, but gradually turned his eyes to the place where the body was laid.
Seeing that she noticed Tingwei's body, the subordinate officer pointed at the desk and explained quickly: "When the people in the mansion found out that Lord Tingwei was dead, he was sitting beside the desk. After the autopsy was done, Lord Fuyin ordered us to move the body to
Come next to me."
Chu Nanzhi slowly walked forward and uncovered the white cloth covering the body, but was startled by the sight in front of her.
I saw that Old Tingwei's eyes were wide open and his death was not peaceful. He must have seen an unexpected scene before he died.
The subordinate officer also closed his eyes timidly and said in surprise: "When I did the autopsy, Lord Tingwei looked like this. Just now, the official asked me to close my eyes as Lord Tingwei, so why did I open them again?"
?”
"Of course I will never die with my eyes in peace."
Lin Jinshu sighed and sighed.
Chu Nanzhi knelt down and looked at the corpse carefully, and found that Mr. Tingwei's mouth was closed unusually tightly, and his lips were even slightly twisted.
"This is a little weird."
Chu Nanzhi took a long breath and kept shaking his head: "Logically speaking, if a person sees something abnormal before death, he should not be stunned like this."
After saying this, he carefully opened the corpse's lips and found that his teeth had been biting together tightly.
"You see, if Mr. Tingwei was just surprised because of what he saw before he died, his lips and teeth would never be so tightly closed."
Chu Nanzhi's words immediately aroused Lin Jinshu's interest. She tried to open her eyes several times and found that at least one of her lips and teeth were slightly open.
"If my prediction is correct, the murderer covered Master Tingwei's mouth tightly, making Master Tingwei unaware and had no room to resist. This perpetrator must be not simple."
Chu Nanzhi stared at the corpse and said suspiciously: "With such nimble hands and feet, there is only one possibility to avoid alerting people. That is the agile habitual criminal in this house who is familiar with Lord Tingwei."
Hearing this, Lin Jinshu hurriedly looked at the officials in Tingwei's mansion and asked: "Master Tan, you are also an old man in Tingwei's mansion. Do you know that there are such powerful people around old Tingwei?"
The subordinate officer pondered for a long time, shook his head angrily and said: "Master Tingwei has always been alone, and there are no agile guards around him. The one who follows him all year round is just a horseman over fifty years old."
"Go and call that lady in."
Chu Nanzhi continued to observe the corpse attentively while giving instructions to his subordinates.
Not long after, the eldest lady of the Zhang family was brought in.
At this time, she was full of complaints about Chu Nanzhi imprisoning Zhang Wulang. As soon as she entered the door, she was annoyed and sarcastic: "Why did Princess Pingning call the Nu family in? Could it be that she has noticed some new clues and feels that the Nu family is the
The culprit who murdered her husband?"
"Mrs. Tingwei is worrying too much."
Chu Nanzhi knew that she was unhappy and it was important to resolve the case, so he didn't bother to argue with her. He just said calmly: "It is just a routine matter to put Qian Xiaoniang and Zhang Wulang in jail. If mother and son are really innocent, I will return the favor."
They are fair, but if the lady is so unwilling to cooperate, she must give an explanation when she comes to His Majesty within three days."
Only then did Mrs. Tingwei realize the seriousness of the situation, and then she changed her attitude and asked warmly: "Princess Pingning, if you have any concerns, it doesn't matter."
Seeing her change of attitude, Chu Nanzhi nodded happily.
