Our Mommy is the Best Investigator! Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Left-handed

"I don't know if the family has hired a skilled nursing home?"

Chu Nanzhi didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.

"This is a prosperous place in the capital, why should the family hire a nursing home?"

Mrs. Ting Wei showed a bitter expression: "You have also seen that the deceased husband was an upright and honest official, and the slave family wanted him to be a dog in a certain job in Ting Wei's mansion. He refused. How could he be willing to spend the money of the court? Now the mansion The more than ten maids and handymen on the house were rewarded by the ancestors to enter the mansion, and the few close ones around me were all married when the slave family was married."

When mentioning this matter, Lin Jinshu couldn't help feeling emotionally: "Old Lieutenant Ting is indeed a clean and upright official. Even His Majesty and the emperor's grandmother praised him very much. This year, there was a severe drought in the south. Reducing salaries and donating the saved money and food to Jiangnan disaster relief, there are also many poor people who have been helped in these years."

Seeing Princess Shu's dejected expression, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help feeling sorry for the death of the old Ting Wei.

Thinking of those fishy people in Pingning Prefecture, and even the filthy officials who were greedy for money and food for disaster relief, she felt extremely angry.

When the eyes turned back to the old Ting Wei's body again, her eyes were full of respect.

No other reason, even if it is to let the old Ting Wei go away in peace, she will find out the real culprit at all costs.

The murder weapon that was about to commit the crime, she held it in her hand and inspected it carefully, it was indeed as Lin Tingyan said, it was a rare sharp weapon.

Looking at Mrs. Ting Wei with tears in her eyes, Chu Nanzhi asked in confusion: "Is this broken blade really owned by Qian Xiaoniang?"

"My family has never heard of any sharp blade hidden in her courtyard."

Mrs. Ting Wei's eyes are very firm: "How can I not understand her weak nature? It hurts my heart for a long time to see the servants killing chickens. How dare I do violence to others, not to mention that my family and the dead husband have always treated her kindly. She There's no reason to murder your dead husband."

"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, maybe the eldest lady was deceived by her?"

Chu Nanzhi looked at her tentatively.

"impossible."

Madam Tingwei waved her hands carelessly: "If she was that duplicitous person, the servants would have kicked her out of the mansion long ago."

"Big lady's temperament is rare in this palace."

Chu Nanzhi was dumbfounded by her words.

Other people's wives and concubines under the same roof are always intriguing and deceitful all day long, making the chickens and dogs restless, but she is so protective of the concubines and concubines in the house.

"The princess wants to say why the slave family protects their mother and child so much?"

Mrs. Ting Wei replied frankly without any intention of concealing: "To tell you the truth, my family has been indifferent since I was a child, and I didn't like things between men and women, but my late husband was a romantic one when he was young. My family didn't want to serve him more, and was afraid of him. After making troubles outside, they picked Qian Shi to come in, and these years, she has worked hard to serve her deceased husband and continue to have children for the Zhang family, so the slave family must protect her a little bit."

"I see."

Chu Nanzhi nodded with astonishment.

Today was really an eye-opener. I didn't expect there to be such a weird woman in these years. No wonder the mistress could tolerate her concubine, and even ran to knock on the drum to sue the imperial court.

It is indeed the Jingling City of Longtan and Tiger's Den.

But right now, she has not found any clues to rule out the suspicion of the mother and son.

While the eyes were turning, her gaze slowly shifted to the wound on the chest and abdomen of the corpse.

Comparing the broken blade with the wound, she suddenly found that something was wrong with the wound.

"No, no."

Chu Nanzhi murmured to himself, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Master Tan, show me the autopsy report."

The subordinate officials hurriedly handed over the autopsy report to her. Chu Nanzhi read it carefully, and immediately saw something tricky in it:

"According to the records in the case file, the short blade pierced Lord Tingwei from the front, but the wound was found to be at an oblique angle. Therefore, the width of the entire wound was a few inches wider than the broken blade. It was located on the right abdomen of the corpse, but the stabbing position had already reached the ribs on the left back, and the degree of inclination of the knife edge is really hard to fathom."

After finishing speaking, she stood up slowly, imagining the scene at that time: "If I cover the mouth of Lord Tingwei with my left hand, and then stab the chest of Lord Tingwei with the knife in my right hand, according to the routine, the knife edge should be Going straight or leaning from left to right, so that the strength can be maximized along with the gesture, and it is difficult to cut in the opposite direction to kill at close range and pierce the ribs."

Handing the autopsy report back to the subordinate officer, Chu Nanzhi looked at Mrs. Ting Wei with burning eyes, and pleaded: "I want to re-examine Mrs. Ting Wei's wounds, do you mind?"

Madam Tingwei was unwilling in her heart, but she thought that she could find out the case as soon as possible, so she nodded silently after pondering for a moment.

Chu Nanzhi then lifted the clothes on the chest and abdomen of the corpse again, revealing the wounds that had been cleaned.

At this time, the body was already pale, and the wound about three or four inches wide could be seen very clearly.

Chu Nanzhi carefully opened the wound, and as expected, there was a rightward scratch at the beginning of the wound, from shallow to deep.

"The wound is so irregular, this shallow wound about an inch wide is obviously cut to the right with too much force when the broken blade was pulled out from the chest."

Chu Nanzhi picked up the short blade again, nodded in thought, and said, "The knife wound penetrated from the right chest and abdomen to the left rib, and the width of the wound extends horizontally to the right chest and abdomen. I think only left-handed people have such strength and can Make it happen."

"left handed?"

Lin Jinshu showed a look of astonishment, with admiration in his eyes.

I really didn't expect her to observe such subtleties.

This level of care is probably unmatched by those veterans who have been solving cases for many years in the entire Tingwei Mansion.

Chu Nanzhi nodded hesitantly, continued to examine the corpse, squeezed the tightly closed lips with his hands, and found that the masseter muscle on the right side of the corpse's face had been sunken inward, and the depression was just the width of a thumb.

"If the murderer is left-handed, he must cover Lord Tingwei's mouth with his right hand. The support point is on the thumb. The position where the thumb touches is naturally the masseter muscle on the right side of Lord Tingwei. Due to the small force surface and the fact that the murderer is full of strength when committing the crime, So the thumb crushed the masseter muscle on the right side of the corpse's cheek."

Chu Nanzhi carefully analyzed, and checked the left cheek again, and found that the muscles were not damaged much, which further confirmed her guess.

Lin Jinshu also tentatively covered her lips with her hand and exerted great force. As she said, the position where her thumb pinched was much more painful than the face pinched by the other four fingers.

Not allowing Chu Nanzhi to elaborate further, she nodded knowingly and looked at Mrs. Tingwei: "Who is left-handed in the house?"

Mrs. Tingwei frowned and thought hard, and murmured: "My sister is very weak, let alone her left hand, her right hand doesn't have such great strength. He likes to fight and kill, and he is not left-handed."

"Is it possible that it was someone else?"

Chu Nanzhi took advantage of the situation and reminded.

Her words made Ting Weishi on the side immediately have some associations: "I remember that there is a left-handed servant beside Mr. Ting Wei?"
