"I pushed the water tank to find clues to the incident. You don't have any evidence that I killed someone. And before I went into the kitchen, a lot of people saw me in action. ”

Xiaodou's words made some sense, Kang Hong and Xiao Chen, who were standing at the door of Aunt Ye's room, were speechless for a while, they seemed to have forgotten to help Aunt Ye, and Wu Zi was standing there.

Xiaodou continued: "Aunt Ye seems to have been poisoned, do you want to stand at the door and argue with me, or find a way to save her life?" ”

Kanghong finally reacted, he pulled the person behind him and hurried into the room, but before he was about to walk to the front of the bed, he was stopped by Xiaodou who was standing up. At this time, Xiaodong was still holding the bloody gauze that had been removed from Aunt Ye's hand.

The gauze pounded against the edge of his trouser leg, and the jet-black blood underneath looked like it was about to drip down. Xiaodou changed his previous gentle appearance, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he asked them, "Why are only the two of you coming in?" What about Lao Li, the manager of the hotel? Where did the other workers and innkeepers go? ”

"There has been such a terrible murder, and according to common sense, this place must be very noisy now! You guys are hiding the news, why don't you want anyone else to know? In the kitchen just now, Xiao Chen originally had three aunts by his side, one of them walked away through the door, and another aunt was gone, so he should have walked away from the back door. ”

"Xiao Chen, you can't ignore the two of them, but why didn't you say a word and let them go? The water tank was next to the small kitchen door, and when the first aunt to walk away passed by me, she only had to tilt her head slightly to notice the abnormality in the water tank. ”

"Even if the aunt didn't notice it at the time, then why didn't the second aunt say hello and slipped away through the back door of the kitchen? Xiao Chen, I always feel that both of them were deliberately let go by you. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a plan arranged by you, deliberately stirring up me and Yueyue, two outsiders who don't know anything, in order to frame us and blame us, right? ”

Kang Hong wanted to push Xiaodou away at first to see the situation of the person on the bed, but Xiaodou tried his best not to let him pass, and he had to listen to what he said, Xiao Chen stepped up and grabbed Xiaodou's collar and shouted at him in a low voice: "You kid don't talk nonsense here, it's obvious that you are doing strange things, so you have to splash dirty water on our heads." I'm telling you, you'd better get out of the way, or don't blame my fists for not having eyes! ”

After speaking, Xiao Chen raised his fist, ready to beat Xiaodou, but was stopped by Kang Hong, after all, Kang Hong is an elderly person, and he is much calmer than a 15-year-old boy. He said: "Don't be impulsive, it's important to save Xiao Ye first, in this way, you go and close the door, and I will check Xiao Ye." ”

"No, they're closed." Xiaodou's voice came immediately, Kang Hong was startled, and immediately looked at the door, Yueyue was already standing there, the little girl's hand was holding the doorknob, and her back was also close to the door panel.

Xiao Chen wanted to walk over, but Kang Hong stopped him and said: "That's okay, anyway, we don't trust each other, we can explain things by locking them in the room, and you made sure the kitchen door downstairs was locked when you came out?" ”

"No problem, I also covered the water tank where the corpse was found, and no one will see it for the time being, unless they go through the back door." Xiao Chen replied.

"So young man," Kang Hong turned his head to look at Xiaodou and said, "Can you let us see Aunt Ye's condition now?" ”

"Yes, Yueyue and I have already treated his wounds, and Aunt Ye can't die." With that, he turned sideways and moved out of the way.

The window of the room where Aunt Ye lives is smaller than the other rooms, the upper part of the wall where she stands, and the lower part of the wall where she is lying on the bed is close to the window frame.

Aunt Ye was lying quietly on the bed at the moment, her face looked very bad, but it could be seen from her slightly undulating chest that she was indeed alive, and her swollen hands had been replaced with clean gauze at some point, and the blood that came out of it was already bright red.

Yue Yue returned to the bedside, silently took Aunt Ye's hand into her arms, and looked vigilantly at Convoy, who was leaning over to check the middle-aged woman's physical condition. When Convoy inadvertently approached her, the little girl would suddenly tighten her body parts to prevent him from touching them.

Kang Hong didn't care about the little girl's vigilance, what he cared about was the cause of Aunt Ye's poisoning. After a little inspection, he gave up his position to Xiao Chen and said, "You come to see what's going on with her hand?" ”

Xiao Chen pulled Aunt Ye's injured hand from Yueyue's arms, and untied the gauze on the new package little by little, until it reached the last layer, he suddenly muttered: "Doesn't the poison look like it came from the wound?" ”

"What's wrong?" Kang Hong asked immediately, and Yueyue on the side was obviously nervous and stared at the two of them.

Xiao Chen said after confirming it repeatedly: "You see, although the skin and flesh around the wound are swollen, it is obviously not black on the inside, only the blood that flows out is black, and the swelling of the wound looks very ordinary, not like it is caused by poisoning." ”

"It's not caused by poisoning, so why is there black blood?" Kang Hong asked, Xiao Dou also stood behind them and listened carefully, Xiao Chen is an expert in this kind of thing, there is no need for him to express his opinion.

Xiao Chen said: "I just said that the swelling on her hand does not look like it was caused by poisoning, not that there is no toxin in her body, and the poison may have been injected into her body from another part of her body, not from the wound on her hand." ”

"But......" Yueyue wanted to say something, but as soon as she confided two words, she shrank back, glanced at Xiaodou, and silently asked him if he should say it.

Kang Hong said: "You don't have to look at him, just say what comes to mind, aren't we both suspicious now?" How can suspicion be ruled out without telling the truth? ”

"But how do we know if you two are telling the truth?" Xiaodou asked Convoy rhetorically.

Kang Hong sneered and said, "It's all come to this point, and you're not a criminal policeman, why do we have to lie to you?" Besides, we still need your help to buy the people in this inn? ”

"Then tell me first, who is the dead in the kitchen?"

"You should have guessed this when you pushed the water tank just now, do I need to say it?" Convoy continued.

Xiaodou thought about it for a while, and didn't say anything more on this topic, but just signaled Yueyue that she could say what was in her heart.

Yue Yue opened her mouth and said, "Before I helped Aunt Ye change the gauze for the last time, the blood that flowed from her hands was bright red, not black. And after changing the gauze, within five minutes, I saw the blood turn black. I always thought it was the gauze that was poisoned, but now that you're saying that, is there something wrong? ”

"I can't be mistaken," Xiao Chen was very confident, he raised the middle-aged woman's wrist, and approached Yueyue and Xiaodou with that hand, respectively, and then put down his wrist, left among several people, walked to the chair in the southeast corner of the room and sat down, and said: "The poison in Aunt Ye definitely didn't enter from the wound site, I think we should carefully check the other parts of his body now, whether there are small wounds or needle holes, if there is, it can prove that my judgment is correct." ”

"What does that mean?" Xiaodou asked rhetorically: "Even if your judgment is correct, you are just clearing yourself up, because the gauze is what you brought it, and if the poison enters the skin through the gauze, it will have nothing to do with you." But if the poison doesn't enter the skin through the gauze, there is only one suspect in this room, Yueyue, and I can't get out of it. ”

"You're thinking too much, I'm not trying to prove that you're a murderer, I'm just telling the truth," Xiao Chen said: "The poison definitely doesn't come from gauze, the old gauze that has been replaced is in your hands, and as long as you test it, you can immediately tell if I'm lying." ”

This 15-year-old boy, this old adult feeling that no adult has appeared. His analysis is the Tao, which can almost be equal to the thoughtful Xiaodou, if it weren't for the immaturity on that face, Xiaodou would even suspect that he is not 15 years old, but 25 years old.

In this regard, Kanghong was not surprised at all, he knew very well what kind of person Xiao Chen was, the teenager had a fiery personality, but at the same time he also had the ability to think calmly. And there is also this absolutely unstoppable stubbornness.

As these people were circling around about the poisoning, there was a shout from downstairs, and it was someone else from the artificial island who had come in, mixed with the voices of Yan Nuogu and the two aunts who had left the kitchen.

None of these people knew about the discovery of the body in the kitchen, and Xiao Chen only informed Kang Hong alone.

"Uncle Kang, are you upstairs?" It was Yan Nuogu who was questioning, and he found that there was no one in the kitchen, and there was no one in the lobby of the hotel. (Yan Nuogu is the chef here, and he has the kitchen key on him, so Xiao Chen's locked kitchen door can't stop him)

Yan Nuogu still had a keychain in his hand, and the keychain made a metal impact sound, accompanied by Yan Nuogu's footsteps and approached upstairs.

Kang Hong hurriedly ran to open the door and said outside: "Xiao Nuo, don't come up first, wait for me for two minutes, I am now accompanying Xiao Chen to check Xiao Ye's injury, because my fingers will not be able to hold a paintbrush for several months, Xiao Ye is in a bad mood, so don't bother her again." ”

"Okay, then hurry up, why did the kitchen stink again as soon as it was cleaned up, and what's going on with those fish heads in the warehouse? There was also rotten wood, which was piled up there and not cleaned up. Yan Nuogu grumbled as he returned downstairs.

It was now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiaodou returned to the hotel after lunch, tossing and turning, and before he knew it, he didn't notice it for less than three hours.

After Yasuhong returned to the room, he tilted his head at Xiaodou and Yueyue, meaning to let them go out with him. Xiaodou felt that this was understandable, it was really inappropriate for them to stay in Aunt Ye's room all the time, so he pulled Yueyue and walked out with Convoy.

But when the people arrived outside the door, only Yueyue still looked a little frightened, and the other two people had returned to normal, just like when they met in front of the board house.
