Chapter 132: The Yellow Sparrow
Nie Shuyao then explained: "If the firewood and grass are burning vigorously, it may be like this, because water is heavier than oil. As soon as it was splashed, the water quickly fell from the grass to the ground, and the fire on it would still ignite. If you pour oil at this time, it will float on the firewood and grass to make the fire burn more vigorously, at this time pouring water and oil can basically not extinguish the fire, of course, the premise is a small amount of water, I don't believe we can try. ”
"Okay, I'm going to see how you find the real culprit." Pang Yujuan got up and said, "The shopkeeper is going to prepare, firewood and grass, oil lamps, a basin of oil, and a basin of water." ”
Pang Yujuan didn't believe it either, she hadn't touched her fingers since she was a child, but she had also heard of adding fuel to the fire.
Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Please ask the shopkeeper to prepare." ”
Subsequently, Li Zhutou and others assisted in the preparation of these things.
If it is a modern person, this principle is easy to understand, in ancient times she felt that she had to do a small experiment, so that she could do the reasoning later.
It's a matter of quantity, even if it's oil, pour a basin of oil on a little spark, and the fire will be extinguished. If the fire is strong, pouring a little water on it will make the fire even stronger.
This case should not be entangled in this aspect, because no matter how much oil or water is poured on the wick fire, the fire will not burn. But these two cooks seem to be incompatible, but they are not. Especially Chef Shen, she seems to be covering up for Fang Niangzi, and Fang Niangzi may not know why she said this.
After Nie Shuyao said this, everyone was pondering, and the old scholars were twisting their beards and reasoning.
After a while, the questioning old scholar nodded in agreement, and said, "It must be the same as the girl said, and there is someone else who set the fire." ”
Nie Shuyao immediately arched his hand and said: "The old gentleman is still wise, no wonder I often hear people say that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure!" ”
"Haha......." Several elderly people present were very happy by her words, who doesn't want to be a wise person!
All the qiē to do the experiment is ready. Nie Shuyao decided to talk about the yellow finch when doing the experiment, which was the real murderer who was ignored by everyone.
She walked out into the open area and paced back and forth. It seems to be pretending, but in fact, I want to reproduce a case. Finally, he looked at the two cooks.
"Two, I'm sure none of you started this fire, but you'll have to tell the truth after doing what I've said about this test."
Nie Shuyao looked at them through the veil of the hood, and the two cooks glanced at each other, their eyes flickering.
Chef Shen immediately greeted her, gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the girl can prove that we are innocent, the little woman knows what to do." ”
"Good! I promise you'll be okay. Saying that, Nie Shuyao walked towards Li Zhutou and Da Niu. whispered something to them.
The two immediately left to prepare, and then told Shen Xinlu about her plans.
Shen Xinlu walked up to the viewer and arched his hand: "Everyone, we want to have a case to reproduce, and please make it convenient for you to set aside more venues?" ”
"Case recurrence? But like the last trial of the bronze mirror villain case? "It's still the old pedant, his face full of interest, and his dim eyes look bright.
Shen Xinlu nodded in response.
The old pedants immediately responded and retreated.
As soon as they retreated, those young people naturally followed suit, very quickly. In the middle of the lobby, there is a space twice as large as the original.
Nie Shuyao walked up to the two cooks and said, "What did you do in the backyard that night, now do it again." ”
As she spoke, she took out her handkerchief and handed it to Fang Niangzi, and told again: "Whether you can live a stable life in the future depends on the present dynasty." ”
Fang Niangzi took the veil. He nodded as if he was out of the way.
Da Niu and Li Zhutou also came back, Da Niu walked to the shopkeeper with a piece of cloth curtain and asked, "Shopkeeper, this curtain is similar to a burned curtain?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't know what they were doing, so he reached out and touched it, and replied, "It's the same cloth." ”
"That's good."
As he spoke, Da Niu stood on the edge of the field, raised the curtain with both hands, and said, "I am now the door that came in from the backyard. ”
After a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter.
Not to mention, lifting the curtain with the body of a big cow really feels like a door.
Song Yunfei quietly walked up to Nie Shuyao and asked in a whisper, "Shuyao." Are you sure? But don't let Pang Yujuan have the upper hand. ”
Nie Shuyao whispered, "When have I ever done something I'm not sure about?" Don't worry, I'll win the thousand taels. I'm going to invite you all to dinner. ”
"I knew you could."
After speaking, Song Yunfei returned to his seat again. also glanced at Pang Yujuan, who was depressed, defiantly.
Pang Yujuan didn't see this look, otherwise she would have gone crazy. She was now completely aroused by what Nie Shuyao said, and she knew that she had lost this time.
But she didn't think that Nie Shuyao won this time, and she would win next time. Her father often said that she should learn from experience and learn lessons, and she felt that it was worth buying experience with a thousand taels!
"Let's go!"
With Nie Shuyao's soft sigh, the case began to reappear.
Fang Niangzi carried the homemade oil lamp from the opposite side of the big cow, and when she was about to walk to the middle, the oil lamp fell to the ground with a shake of her hand, but the wick was still burning tenaciously, but the flame was not big.
Fang Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and then made up her mind to go to the two basins placed on the side.
Nie Shuyao immediately said: "End the oil basin"
Fang Niangzi was stunned again, her hand had already reached out to the basin, and when she heard this, she gritted her teeth and took the basin over.
When I walked up to the wick and threw the handkerchief in my hand at the wick, I heard another "Pour!" ”
She closed her eyes and poured the oil from the basin, and stood there shivering.
But the wick did not ignite a fire, as it had done that night, and it was extinguished, and the veil was only half burned. Then she became confident, looked left and right, and walked to the side.
Then, Chef Shen appeared, she first picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, sniffed the oil in her hand and immediately picked up the basin of water and poured it.
The water flowed faster than the oil, and it had dispersed and flowed along the cracks in the bluestone bricks of the place. There are also flows in the direction of the big cows, and there is water and oil.
At this time, Shen Xinlu said: "Little Er, it's not early." Why don't you go and see if the backyard door is locked? ”
The shopkeeper, who was originally sitting there watching the play, immediately stood up reflexively and replied, "The little one will go." ”
The scene was silent again, and the shopkeeper realized that it was just a joke. But he has already entered the play.
The two cooks walked away from the venue one after the other.
Then, Nie Shuyao appeared. She glanced at Li Zhutou.
Li Zhutou clapped his hands twice and said loudly: "Bring things in!" ”
A catcher walked in with a bundle of dry straw, put it aside and stood next to Li Zhu's head and waited.
Everyone doesn't know why, what do you want straw for?
Nie Shuyao picked up some straw and said as she walked: "Now I am the yellow bird after the two cooks left. He put the straw one by one where there was oil, and although there was also water, it did not prevent the fire from being lit. ”
At last she spread them one by one in front of the big cows, and put some more oil-stained straw in front of her near the curtain. said to Da Niu: "Brother Da Niu insists on it for a while, and it will be fine immediately." ”
Da Niu nodded: "Isn't it just a curtain?" It's okay to lift it for a day. ”
Nie Shuyao smiled: "After a while, you will know that you are afraid." ”
She walked back to where the lamp had shattered. He picked up the handkerchief and lit it with a fire breaker and threw it into the mixture of oil and water, and soon the fire grew bigger and bigger. That's when the real fuel comes in.
The fire burned down the flammable straw, not very quickly, because it was still with the water, and there was a crackling sound when it burned.
It took less than a quarter of an hour for the straw to burn out, leaving a thin strip of grass ash. In the end, the fire was all gathered under the curtain held by the big ox, and as the straw increased, the fire also swelled, and it burned to the curtain at once.
Da Niu was really startled at this time. With a shake of his hand, the curtain fell, and soon the fire was blazing.
After another quarter of an hour or so, there was no new firewood to join. Despite some oil, the fire extinguished itself. But the smoke in the lobby was huge, and despite this, everyone present did not make a sound. They are thinking about it, and I have to say that Li Zhutou has also worked hard to let these people in, and they are not troublemakers.
After opening the back door of the courtyard and letting the smoke in the house out, Nie Shuyao said: "This is before and after the fire in Desheng Building, and the two cooks are not the real murderers. I don't know if you can guess that this yellow finch is coming? ”
Shen Xinlu was the first to understand, and she followed Nie Shuyao's gaze. I saw the shopkeeper with a pale face and a panicked expression.
Because of the sound. "Little Er, it's not early. Why don't you go and see if the backyard door is locked? ”
Song Yunfei and Li Zhutou and others also figured it out, and looked at the shopkeeper one after another.
The shopkeeper's pressure increased greatly, and he said inwardly: "You...... What nonsense are you talking about, you stinky girl, this is clearly made up by you. Don't believe a woman! As the saying goes, only women and villains are difficult to raise. ”
Nie Shuyao smiled: "Shopkeeper, what did I say, why did you react so much?" If you don't believe it, you can go to the backyard to see, what if the grass and trees have not been completely cleaned? ”
The old pedant who had just spoken immediately got up and went to the backyard, and there was a first and a second, and everyone ran to the backyard to check.
When everyone returned, the eyes of the shopkeeper changed.
Nie Shuyao asked, "May I ask the shopkeeper, what were you doing when the shopkeeper went out to check if the door in the backyard was locked?" After the shopkeeper came back, did you leave Desheng Building immediately? ”
The shopkeeper of Desheng Lou is a middle-aged man who is close to forty years old, and he looks dignified, but he looks like a villain.
He laughed and said, "Do what?" Does this still need to be asked, it is naturally a day of liquidation. ”
"Shopkeeper said, after you came back, did he leave the store immediately?" Nie Shuyao asked again.
The shopkeeper said: "This ......." He glanced at the shopkeeper and then at the stern Li Zhutou, and finally nodded: "Yes, after the little one came back, the shopkeeper said that he was unwell and went back." ”
"Haha!" The shopkeeper suddenly laughed and said, "Then please tell the girl, I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant, why do you want to burn my own restaurant?" ”
Nie Shuyao said: "Well, naturally, it's for the sake of that handkerchief." (To be continued)
