The makeup of the old lady in the coffin was very fresh, and there was a layer of pale powder on her face. Although the eyes are closed, they don't seem peaceful, and the half-open mouth is terrifying to see.

This made Nie Tianxi's cold sweat flow, and the shroud worn by the dead seemed to glow blue under the moonlight. He felt a chill down his spine!

"Xi'er, your courage still has to be refined." Nie's words came faintly.

Nie Shuyao looked at the old lady but frowned, put on his own special thick cotton gloves, and pressed and pressed on the deceased's body. At last the old lady's mouth opened wider, and something seemed to move in her neck.

The old lady is very fat, with a short figure, and although the coffin is not small, it is not wide, which can fit such a fat body. As Nie Shuyao's fingers kept pressing on the old lady's neck, the things stuck in the neck were also moving upward.

Fortunately, it was early spring, the sky was still cold, and the corpse had not deteriorated. However, three days after his death, there was still a foul smell. At this time, the old lady's nose and mouth also had reddish liquid flowing out.

Nie Tianxi exclaimed: "Sister, this old lady really died unjustly!" ”

Nie Shuyao denied: "No, hand me the tweezers." ”

The tweezers were also made by Nie Shuyao from bamboo, and when the old lady's mouth opened for a certain distance, she used the tweezers to take out something from it.

Then, the old lady's mouth also closed, although there was still liquid flowing from the corners of her mouth and nose, but looking at her face at this time, it was much softer.

Afterwards, Nie Shuyao walked out of the grave and explained to Nie Tianxi and Nie Shi: "This is the murderer who killed the old lady!" ”

Nie asked, "What is this?" ”

Nie Shuyao replied: "It should be a green jujube." ”

Although this green jujube is a little deteriorated, it is quite hard, as big as a small walnut, and it is difficult to get stuck in the throat without dying. And the old lady was obese, and I was afraid that she also had a heart attack and other diseases, so she died.

After the two of them saw it, she threw the green jujube into the coffin, since the old lady loved to eat it so much before her death, let this green jujube accompany her forever.

Nie Shuyao didn't continue to explain, leaving some blanks for them to fill in by themselves, and only said, "Xi'er, are you still afraid?" ”

Nie Tianxi looked at the old lady in the coffin and suddenly became afraid, it turned out that those ghosts and weird things were really made up by people to be scary.

"Since you're not afraid, restore the coffin, be quick!"

"Yes, stepmother."

Nie Tianxi had no choice, so he worked hard.

Don't look at him, he is only eleven and a half years old, and his strength is greater than that of Nie Shuyao. Boy, plus perennial martial arts, the weight of a coffin lid is not enough for him.

When the lid of the coffin was nailed again, a room of cloth was wrapped around the iron hammer, and it did not make much noise. In just half an hour, Nie Tianxi made this qiē with quick movements.

In the end, the siblings set up the grave again, and the original paper flags were returned to their original positions. The three of them bowed in front of the old lady's grave and apologized for disturbing the rest of the deceased.

At this time, when the hour had passed and they were about to enter the ugly hour, they returned the way they came.

After leaving the ancestral tomb of the Li family, the three of them burned all the clothes on their bodies, as well as the tweezers and cotton gloves they had just used. Just wash the two shovels by the small river outside the city and put them back in the big backpack.

When I returned to my small courtyard, it was just after one o'clock in the morning.

There was still residual warmth in the hot water in the stove, so Nie Shuyao added another fire, and waited for Nie to clean himself after freshening up.

When they went out to pour water, they saw that Nie Tianxi had just washed it, and the sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that they had completed another task and were a lot easier.

"Sister, why wasn't Mrs. Li poisoned?" Nie Tianxi asked, he had been thinking about this since he was on the way back.

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Well, it's a bit difficult to explain. ”

Isn't it, in this day and age, it's really difficult to talk about some gases, circulates and the like, and maybe it's taken as a fallacy.

Nie Tianxi didn't understand, he just thought that this was his sister testing herself, and frowned and asked, "If my sister said no, then it definitely wasn't." It's just that why is the blood that comes out a little black? ”

Nie Shuyao frowned, feeling that this explanation was still necessary.

"Xi'er, follow me."

The two sisters and brothers walked into Nie Shuyao's room, lit up the wick, and there were two shadows sitting opposite each other in front of the window.

Nie Shuyao said: "Xi'er, what I said may be different from everyone's perception, but my sister hopes that you can write it down." Maybe this situation will be encountered in the future, and if it is investigated according to poisoning, I am afraid that there will be grievances. ”

"Sister, you can say it. Xi'er knows that her sister is better than the gentlemen in the academy, and what her sister said is right. Nie Tianxi said firmly.

"Flutter!" With a laugh, Nie Shuyao's two hands had already grabbed his face with a little baby fat, and said with a smile: "Xi'er believes in my sister like this? ”

Nie Tianxi couldn't speak clearly because she pulled the corners of her mouth, so she only nodded vigorously.

Only then did Nie Shuyao put down the claws that were playing with him and asked, "Are you still afraid?" ”

"At first, I was a little scared, but when I saw my sister take out the green dates from Mrs. Li's mouth, I was not afraid, and I wanted to know what the real cause of Mrs. Li's death was."

Nie Shuyao nodded: "Well, it's good." Isn't there a foul smell when the lid is opened? ”

Nie Tianxi said: "Yes, if it weren't for the mask made by my sister, it would really make people vomit." ”

"Mrs. Li has been in the coffin for three days, and the coffin is sealed. When a person begins to corrupt three days after death, there is a smell of corruption, which is the bad smell we smell. These gases increase the pressure inside the corpse, and can even produce postmortem circulation, and when the pressure is high, the blood vessels are prone to rupture and flow out of the body under the pressure of the putrefactive gas. It is normal to see a coffee-colored liquid coming out of the mouth and nose when the corpse is turned over. Nie Shuyao explained.

Nie Tianxi is no stranger to terms such as stress and circulation, he heard his sister say this when he was very young, and he also did a small experiment for this, but what is the color of coffee?

Thinking of this, he asked, "What is coffee?" Is that the color of blood? Isn't that poisonous? ”

Nie Shuyao frowned, she forgot that there was no such thing as coffee here, and explained indiscriminately: "It's that color, your sister and I call it coffee." If it is poisonous, the color should be darker, which is the color of the blood after it is corrupted. ”

"Oh. Could it be that Mrs. Li was overjoyed or frightened when she ate the green jujubes? What I didn't expect was that she was too old, so she didn't ease her breath this time, so she went. Nie Tianxi pondered.

Nie Shuyao smiled and nodded, "Maybe just after Landlord Li accepted the concubine, he was happy to think of honoring his aunt for a while, so he gave the green dates that he finally got it, who knew that the old lady was a glutton." I ate one and wanted to eat it, so I took a big bite of it. At this moment, something happened outside, and the old lady inadvertently swallowed the whole date, who knew that it was this date that killed her. ”

"Could it be because of that concubine?"

Nie Shuyao grabbed Nie Tianxi's head and said, "I don't know about this, in short, the old lady died under her own gluttony, and she can't blame others." It's just that if we don't move her coffin, she won't bleed from her mouth and nose after death, so she is a guinea pig after death. has accumulated experience for our future detectives, and it can be regarded as a meritorious guinea pig. ”

Nie Tianxi took a few steps back, shook his head to get rid of Nie Shuyao's claws, and said with a smile: "Sister, I understand what a guinea pig is." It's not too early, I need to catch up on some sleep, and I'll go to school tomorrow. If you don't understand, I'll discuss it with my sister later. ”

As he spoke, he walked next door to Nie Shuyao, the rooms of the two sisters and brothers were connected, although there were two main entrances, there was still a small door in the room.

When Nie Tianxi arrived at the door, Nie Shuyao said, "You are really not afraid, do you want to lay the floor here with my sister." ”

"I'm not afraid. When we saw the green dates in Mrs. Li's throat being taken out, her face softened, so we were helping her by doing so. Presumably when she died, Mrs. Li hated that green jujube very much, and we helped her take it out for her, so I was really not afraid. Nie Tianxi said that the person had walked out.

Nie Shuyao smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said in her heart: "Xi'er has always been timid, maybe this is crooked." Well, this time the refining was a success! ”

Unexpectedly, after this gallbladder refining, Nie's illness became more and more serious, and the homework of the sisters and brothers was correspondingly much easier.
