As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Nie family showed a satisfied smile on their faces, while everyone in the Tang family had a disdainful expression.

"I also said that I didn't protect my shortcomings, and this time I will clear the Nie family!"

"The Nie family spent a lot of money, right?"

"What a painstaking effort!"

……

For a while, the conference hall was noisy and discussed.

"Quiet!" Tang Huaiyuan snorted, raised his eyebrows, and glared at everyone in the Tang family.

Suddenly, the hall was quiet, and everyone in the Tang family stopped talking, but their faces were full of indignation.

Nie Xiaohu smiled, nodded slightly at Tang Huaiyuan, and continued: "I have examined the wound of the deceased, the wound is a one-inch-wide sword wound, but the bloody short sword found in Nie Haikun's bedroom is only half an inch wide, which shows that the short sword is not a murder weapon. ”

"That doesn't prove that Nie Haikun is not a murderer? Maybe he hid the real murder weapon? Someone from the Tang family retorted.

Nie Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's a good question, where did the real murder weapon go?" It has been repeatedly confirmed that on the night of the incident, except for Tang Tianyi, Nie Haikun and the old servant of Nie Haikun's family, there was no fourth person at the scene of the crime, and there were obvious handguard dents on the skin around the wounds of the deceased Tang Tianyi, which showed that the murder weapon was all pierced into the heart, and to do so, it must be done face to face and at close range, and there were no traces of the footprints of a third person in the garden except for Tang Tianyi's own footprints and the footprints of the old servant who found the corpse, why is this? ”

"Maybe it was Nie Haikun who stabbed Tang Tianyi to death face to face in the bedroom, and then threw the body into the garden in the air?"

Nie Xiaohu smiled and shook his head, "Not to mention that the place where the body was found was more than fifty meters away from Nie Haikun's bedroom, even if Nie Haikun could throw the corpse at such a distance, how could Tang Tianyi's footprints in the garden be explained?" After my investigation at the scene, Tang Tianyi's footprints in the garden totaled three, one out and two in, if it was Nie Haikun who killed people and threw his body, then where did Tang Tianyi's footprints come from? ”

"This...", the people of the Tang family couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.

"According to Nie Haikun, Tang Tianyi broke into his bedroom that night, became emotional, and quarreled with him, during which he also pulled out the short sword that Nie Haikun hung on the wall, and bit his lip and sprayed blood on it, Nie Haikun took the short sword and threw it on the table, which is why there were blood stains on the short sword and the floor, as for the buttons on Tang Tianyi's clothes, they may have been ripped off at that time."

"These are all Nie Haikun's words, who knows if it's true or not?" Someone from the Tang family said.

"Yes, although this explanation is reasonable, it is only Nie Haikun's words, and it is difficult to convince the public." Nie Xiaohu nodded and said.

The person who spoke in the Tang family couldn't help but show a smug look on the ground.

Later, I carefully observed the place where Tang Tianyi's body fell, the body fell under a small tree, the roots of this small tree The soil turned up slightly, there were traces of loosening, as if someone had pulled it up, and in the lower part of the tree near the root of the tree, I found that there were obvious traces of being strangled by a thin rope, and the body of the tree was strangled in a circle.

In addition, on the grass next to the corpse, there were blood stains on the leaves of some small grasses, and the blood stains were cut and extended towards the small lake next to it, which I was puzzled at first, until I accidentally saw someone selling fish on the side of the road on the way back, which made me pause, and then contacted all the clues, everything was solved! ”

Nie Xiaohu looked at everyone with a smile.

"Fish?" Everyone present looked at Nie Xiaohu in confusion.

"Not bad! It's fish! ”

"Fish? What does this have to do with Tang Tianyi's killing? Someone from the Tang family asked.

"That's it, how can I hear the clouds and mountains of fog!"

There was another commotion in the hall.

"Quiet!" Nie Yuanshan spoke, "Everyone, listen to what Nie Zhutou said?" ”

"When I asked the old servant of Nie Haikun's family, I asked him if he had seen anyone else or heard any movement during the night, and the old servant replied that no one had entered, and emphasized that his ears were particularly good, and that there was no other movement that night except the sound of the wind blowing the lake."

"What's wrong with that?" Tang Huaiyuan asked.

"It's not just the problem, that's the key to solving all the puzzles!" Nie Xiaohu reached out and snapped his fingers.

At this time, the council hall was surprisingly quiet, and everyone present pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"I think many of you here have been to that back garden of Nie Haikun's house, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"There was indeed a wind last night, but the wind was very small, and it was impossible to form a big wave on the surface of the lake, and the small lake was about fifty meters away from the house, where did the sound of the wind blowing the lake come from that old servant heard?"

The crowd nodded thoughtfully.

"So the old servant is lying, is it said that the murderer is the old servant?" Someone from the Tang family asked in a whisper.

Nie Xiaohu pursed his lips, rolled his eyes at the man, and then said: "The old servant didn't lie, he did hear the sound, but it was not the sound of the wind blowing the lake, but the sound of the fish. ”

"The sound of a fish?" Several people made puzzled noises at the same time.

"So the real murderer is!" Nie Xiaohu paused.

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Nie Xiaohu without blinking.

"Tang Tianyi himself! He! Be! Self! Kill! Nie Xiaohu said word by word.

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became lively like a fried pot, and everyone talked about it for a while, saying everything.

Shi Yuning, who was standing beside Nie Haikun, also pursed his lips at this time, and slowly walked back to Liu Zhenxiao and the others.

"Quiet!" Nie Yuanshan stood up, with a slight smile on his face, "Everyone listen to Nie Shenzhu tell me the reason!" ”

"After investigation and questioning at the scene, and integrating all the clues, I judged at first that Tang Tianyi committed suicide, but there is one thing I have never understood, that is, where did the short sword or dagger he used to commit suicide go? If he threw it before he died, he couldn't have thrown it too far, he would always find it, so why couldn't he find it near the scene?

It wasn't until I saw the fish stall on the side of the road, and then connected with the strange phenomenon on the small tree next to the corpse and the blood stains on the grass, that I suddenly understood the whole course of events. ”
