"But, how do you know that Zheng Bang was dead at that time?"

"That's right, I was just speculating at first." Chai Guangmo said: "But now that there is this steel nail, this is direct evidence." ”

"But, who is the murderer?"

"That's right, no one can enter the mourning hall without permission!"

"That's right, except for Lord Blue Phoenix and Lord Xiao Xiao, it's impossible for anyone else to stay inside - we watched Zheng Bang walk into the mourning hall again, he, how did he die?"

The noisy discussion came and went, Chai Guangmo quietly waited for them to calm down, and then whispered: "The answer is also very simple, as you said, no one else can enter the scene of the crime, so isn't the murderer obvious?" ”

"Lord Blue Phoenix again?" Some people have already seen that there is a lot of contradiction between Chai Guangmo and Blue Phoenix, and said sarcastically. "But sir, there is a big problem with your reasoning, if it is really her doing, why is it necessary to disguise herself as lying in a pool of blood? Just to blame? ”

Chai Guangmo smiled and shook his head: "You're right, so it's not the Blue Phoenix." ”

"Wait, who are you talking about?" Qian Bin suddenly reacted, he glared at Chai Guangmo, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this?" You mean, the murderer is Xiao Xiao? ”

Someone at the bottom mocked: "Look, he reasoned around and went back to square one!" ”

"Lord Xiao Xiao again?"

Chai Guangmo smiled: "Yes and no." ”

Everyone was confused by him, whether what this man said was reliable or not, why did he say "yes" for a while, and "no" for a while, is this a deliberate brain teaser?

"In the end or no, you should give me a good word!" There were protests.

"It was indeed "Xiao Xiao" in this mourning hall who killed Zheng Bang, but it was not Xiao Xiao. Chai Guangmo shrugged and said.

Although his expression was full of sincerity, the words he said were uncertain.

"You, what the hell do you mean by that?"

Qian Bin also wondered, when did this Chai Guangmo speak like this?

"Don't let me go around in circles anymore, "Xiao Xiao", isn't it your turn to appear? Chai Guangmo suddenly came to the door of the hut and gently knocked on the door.

There was no response from the house.

"It doesn't matter what she means, anyway, what this man said is not bad, whether it is Lord Xiao Xiao or not, just get her out and ask!"

There is a point in that!

According to this meaning, the villagers spontaneously organized a team of "lynching", ready to "invite" Xiao Xiao to come out, let her confess the facts, and by the way, use the punishment according to this fact.

Seeing that they were making a big splash and fighting as if they didn't intend to spare Xiao Xiao easily, Qian Bin was anxious, but no matter how he stopped it, where would these villagers who had been on top listen to his advice?

Seeing that the voice of the appeal became more and more restless, Chai Guangmo's face changed.

"Oops." He said.

"What's wrong?" Qian Bin wondered.

"She ran away." Chai Guangmo pressed his hand on the door, his face pale.

"Ran away? What ran away? Who ran away? She? Who? Qian Bin was stunned.

"Xiao Xiao." Chai Guangmo glanced into the room and sighed: "We were careless, we actually let her escape, if we can catch her here, it is estimated that we will save a lot of trouble." ”

"What do you mean?" Qian Bin was confused.

"Just knock it open and see." Chai Guangmo said.

Qian Bin glanced at the door: the room is not big, just a small wooden homestay, and a small wooden door as thin and brittle as paper on it is still a little useful as decoration, and the thieves are cold.

"But......" Qian Bin glanced at the villagers who were eyeing him again, shook his head at the moment, and said, "Xiao Xiao is still inside, and now knock the door open, I'm afraid she will be in danger." ”

"No, it won't." Chai Guangmo sighed.

"How can you guarantee it?" Qian Bin was stunned.

"Because she's not in there at all." Chai Guangmo said.

"How could it be, I saw her go in with my own eyes." Qian Bin didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, won't you open the door and see for yourself?" Chai Guangmo smiled slightly.

Of course, Qian Bin was not convinced, he rubbed his palms, and knocked open the small door that opened on the side twice. Carefully putting the removed wooden door aside, Qian Bin relied on his strong body to stop the crowd surging behind him, quietly poked his head in, and looked in cautiously.

The room is not big, you can see the bottom almost at a glance, a bit like a homestay hotel, a big bed, a high stool, next to the stool is a window, the door of the toilet is closed, no one is seen.

Qian Bin thought to himself, "No", when he touched the side of the bed, there were only messy bedding and sheets on the bed, and where was Xiao Xiao's shadow? The door of the toilet was closed, and Qian Bin knocked on the door, but there was no response.

"Xiao Xiao, if you are inside, you will respond, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for you." Qian Bin coughed and said.

Still no response, not even the smell of people.

"What's going on?" Qian Bin also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he muttered, and said: "If you don't move at all, I'll hit the door, I'm afraid that you are in any danger, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”

Still no sound.

Qian Bin turned his heart sideways and slammed into the toilet - the toilet was smaller, and the door was very narrow, and Qian Bin felt that it was enough to stuff himself. When I entered the inside, I saw the flowing water flowing down my ankles.

Qian Bin hurriedly turned off the faucet, and the toilet was almost a place to stand, and at a glance, Qian Bin also realized that Xiao Xiao had indeed disappeared. But what surprised him even more was that he saw a suit of clothes in the toilet.

It was the costume that Xiao Xiao used to perform the ceremony.

At the moment, it was like a rotten cloth lying in the water stains.

When the sound of water in the toilet gradually subsided, Qian Bin calmed down, he half-squatted down, grabbed the corner of his skirt, and his face was very ugly.

It didn't take long for the villagers to pour into the house, and seven or eight villagers had already packed the entire homestay to the brim, leaving no room for it.

"Hey, where are you hiding?" Someone picked up Qian Bin and asked.

Qian Bin is also stupid, how does he know.

Someone shouted from the back of the house: "I escaped from the window." ”

"Windows?" Qian Bin muttered and came to the bedside. By the stool next to the bed, the window was ajar, apparently escaping from here.

"Who was in charge of the window just now!" One of the villagers was a little taller, and his whole body was as thin as a peeled stick, still bamboo.

"Bamboo sticks" shouted, and after a while, a teenager was pushed out of the crowd, wearing a dark brown baseball cap and a dirty face.

"You're in charge of the windows?" "Bamboo stick" asked.

The young man scratched his head: "I promise, I really haven't seen Lord Xiao Xiao." ”

"That's weird!" "Bamboo stick" stomped his foot: "I don't believe it, this person is so dignified that he can turn into a fly and fly away." ”

Chai Guangmo came to the house leisurely at this time, looking at the people in the room who were looking at each other, he said, "I know how this Xiao Xiao disappeared." ”

At this time, everyone looked at Chai Guangmo.

"Bamboo Stick" looked at Chai Guangmo contemptuously, and couldn't help but sneer: "If you know, you won't let people lead you by the nose." ”

"Don't you want to know how Xiao Xiao disappeared?" Chai Guangmo asked.

The young man frowned: "I want to know, is it possible that I don't know, you know?" ”

"The reason is actually quite simple." Chai Guangmo said: "It's not a very difficult thing to understand, come, young man, come here, I ask you." ”

Chai Guangmo pushed the young man wearing the hat to everyone and asked him, "Can you guarantee that you haven't seen Xiao Xiao disappear from here?" ”

The young man nodded firmly: "Don't believe me, I have good eyesight and will never admit my mistake." ”

"Okay." Chai Guangmo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Then have you ever seen a woman who came out of the window and left as if nothing happened?" ”

"Ah, yes." The boy said bluntly.

Everyone was stunned.

"Bamboo stick" still didn't believe it, took out a photo of Xiao Xiao from his trouser pocket, and pasted it in front of the young man: "You give me a good look, does that woman look like this?" ”

The young man said disdainfully: "You have shown us this several times, I said earlier, it must not be her, not Lord Xiao Xiao." ”

"Bamboo Stick" was dumbfounded: "No, it's not, even if it's not, why don't you stop her?" ”

The young man was aggrieved and said: "I don't know people, besides, you didn't say anything, let me stop a woman I don't recognize?" ”

The "bamboo stick" was so angry that he took off the boy's hat and slammed it on the ground, grinning with his teeth very arrogant, and the boy picked up his hat and stepped back.

"Who the hell is it that escaped!" The "bamboo stick" stomped his foot.

Chai Guangmo patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Does it matter who it is?" ”

"Bamboo Stick" was stunned for a moment, but just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But ...... Where did Lord Xiao Xiao go? ”

"Where she went, I don't know." Chai Guangmo said: "But I know that the one who disappeared may not be the person you are looking for, you also heard this kid say just now, it was not Lord Xiao Xiao who escaped from the window." ”

"Bamboo Stick" shook his head, impatience was written on his face, and he even sat on the ground and rolled up his sleeves: "Where can I find it?" ”

"Who are you looking for?" Chai Guangmo asked.

"That's still useful, of course it's Lord Xiao Xiao." "Bamboo Stick" rolled his eyes and turned his hands—they were rough and looked like they were doing farm work. He turned around and pointed to the tall and short, fat and thin ten villagers standing behind him. "We're all in a hurry! You, if you're a policeman, don't stand idle, can you help us a little? ”

"Which Lord Xiao Xiao?" Chai Guangmo asked.

"Which one else?" "Bamboo Stick" got up, crooked his mouth, looked at Chai Guangmo with squeezed eyebrows, stretched out his fingers, poked him in the chest, and said angrily: "You're looking for trouble, right?" I don't think you're here to help! ”

Chai Guangmo smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry brother, I mean, we have to make it clear first." What you are looking for is the "Lord Xiao Xiao" who just escaped from this house, or the real Xiao Xiao. ”

"What do you mean?" A light flashed in the eyes of the "bamboo stick", and this time he understood what the policeman in front of him meant, "This Xiao Xiao, not Bi Xiao Xiao".
