The room where the deceased lived with his wife was an upper room, with a bedroom inside and a small room outside, with a round table in the middle, and a window facing the door, in front of which was a small table, two chairs, a door on the left to enter the bedroom, and a wall on the right, and a shelf against the wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a carpet underneath the round table.

There was a lot of alcohol in the house.

Shen Qiao entered the room and finished taking a look at the general situation.

The wife of the deceased, who looked to be almost thirty years old, was sitting on a chair by the window and weeping quietly, her shoulders shaking, her clothes looked a little messy, and she did not have any headdress on her head.

On the other chair at the small table sat a friend of the husband and wife, a man in his thirties, with a flushed face, thinking that he had just drunk alcohol.

The shopkeeper stood aside with a small servant with a bitter face, if something like this happened in the inn, there would definitely be no business in the store in the future.

The body of the deceased was lying on the periphery of the carpet under the table, his eyes were wide open, his right hand was covering his chest, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth had dried up, which looked a little terrifying.

"General Cheng, can you go to the inner room to have a look?"

After Shen Qiao finished observing the outside, he turned to Cheng Qizhi behind him and asked.

"Yes, but the scene is here, what is there to see inside?"

Cheng Qizhi was puzzled.

"General Cheng, there is only one curtain in the middle of this door, if you want to count, it can be regarded as a murder scene."

After Shen Qiao finished speaking, he walked to the door on the left, opened the curtain, and walked in.

Gu Xuan and Cheng Qizhi didn't keep up, after all, it was the room of the deceased and his wife, and there were things for women, so it was inconvenient for them to go in.

The bedroom was small, with only a bed, a screen, and a cupboard.

The quilt on the bed was still open, and it looked like someone had slept on it before.

Shen Qiao approached, and with the help of the faint oil lamp, he carefully looked at the bed, the screen and the cabinet, and he didn't even let go of the bottom of the bed, but, how could there be a pair of shoes under the bed?

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Shen Qiao left the bedroom.

"General Cheng, can I ask them questions?"

After Shen Qiao came out of the house, he found that the deceased's wife, who had been bowing her head and sobbing, was not crying, but hung her head, grabbed her skirt with both hands, and said nothing, while the deceased's friend glanced at her and saw that she was still the same when she followed up, so he turned his eyes away.

Shen Qiao opened his mouth to Cheng Qi's way.

"Okay." Cheng Qizhi nodded, and then said to the other people in the room, "Please cooperate with Miss Shen." ”

In addition to Shen Qiao and the deceased, there were also the deceased's wife and friends, as well as the Xiao Er who screamed just now and the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was the first to speak, and said: "Miss Shen, I don't know anything, just after closing, I went back to the room, ready to settle the accounts in the store again and then fell asleep, but before the accounts were finished, I heard Liu Cai's shout, so I hurried out of the house, and after that, I met General Cheng." ”

Shen Qiao looked at Cheng Qizhi, and when he nodded, he looked at the stunned shopkeeper Liu Cai.

"Little second brother, please tell me what happened to the deceased just now, don't be afraid."

Shen Qiao said softly.

She could see that this Liu Cai was scared.

Therefore, it is best to ask softly, if you are more strict, I am afraid that Liu Cai will not be able to speak tonight.

Liu Cai subconsciously looked at Shen Qiao and said, "I, I, the guest officer was drunk just now, go, go to the thatched house, and then, look for it, I can't find the room." I, I'll bring that guest officer over, and then, and then ......"

Liu Cai thought back to the picture he had just seen, and was speechless for a while.

Shen Qiao didn't urge him, but looked at him and waited for him to calm down and continue.

"Miss Shen, let Huang come to it! The little brother was probably frightened by the scene. ”

The friend of the deceased on one side couldn't bear to look at it and stepped forward to hug his fist.

"Okay."

Shen Qiao nodded and looked at him.

"In Xia Huangyun, it was my friend Ye Bo who died, and after dinner in the evening, Brother Ye and I felt that we couldn't sleep well even if it was thundering, so we drank together in the room. Of course, it's in my room, and my siblings are sleeping here. I drank a little too much, all the way in a daze, I met the little second brother, so he asked him to help me back to the room, maybe I was drunk, I didn't make it clear, the little second brother helped me to Brother Ye's room, I was a little drunk at the time, so I let him help me, but after the little second brother pushed the door open, a figure fell straight down, and the little second brother was frightened when he saw it. That's how I woke up. At this time, the younger siblings also came out of the house when they heard the voice, and General Cheng and his soldiers also arrived. ”

Huang Yun told the story.

"Then you mean that the dead man was leaning upright against the door, and when you pushed the door open, the dead fell backwards?"

Shen Qiao asked.

Huang Yun thought for a while and said, "I was a little drunk before, and I can't be sure if Brother Ye is leaning upright against the door. I only woke up after the little second brother screamed. Before that, it was indeed watching a figure fall. ”

"Miss Shen, it's what Boss Huang said. At that time, I was holding Boss Huang, and he said that his friend was still waiting for him to drink! I didn't ask which room to drink, so when I passed by Boss Ye's room, I saw a shadow at the door, thinking that Boss Ye was waiting for Boss Huang, so I was about to knock on the door, who knows, as soon as my hand touched, the door opened, and then I saw Boss Ye with his eyes open, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, a dagger stuck in his chest, and fell down. ”

Because Huang Yunxu said it again, Liu Cai didn't seem to be so scared, and pretended to be brave enough to say it again. It's just eyes, and they don't dare to look at the dead on the ground at all.

"According to you, the murderer is in the room?"

After Cheng Qizhi listened, he said.

Then everyone's eyes turned to the deceased's wife, Qi Niangzi.

Qi Niangzi paused, understood what everyone meant, got up, squatted down and saluted, and said: "Everyone, tonight Xianggong drank with Brother Huang, my body was a little uncomfortable, and I fell asleep early in the morning, and I woke up after hearing the cry of the little second brother." So, I'm not the murderer you say. ”

After speaking, Qi Niangzi walked to the deceased and squatted down.

Because Cheng Qizhi didn't let the deceased move, she could only watch the deceased grieve and cry.

"Brother and sister, General Cheng is not talking about you."

Huang Yun approached Qi Niangzi, and also looked down at the deceased, but his head was too low, and Shen Qiao's figure was a little tall, so he couldn't see Huang Yun's expression.

Cheng Qizhi frowned, didn't refute Huang Yun's words, just looked at Shen Qiao, and said, "Miss Shen, what do you think?" ”

Shen Qiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't have a clue yet.

"Miss Shen, come here, there's something nice here."

At this time, Gu Xuan, who was wandering around the house, smiled by the window.
