Chapter 225: The Wrong Shortcut (6)
"The head catcher, he ran to the left!" , the catcher who opened the door shouted.
"You guys come with me!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted and rushed towards the left side of the restaurant.
The left side of the restaurant is empty, and there is no one on the path along the river behind the house, except for a bamboo basket for clothes on the stone by the river at the back door.
Nie Xiaohu turned back and rushed into the restaurant.
"What's wrong?" , Zheng Tianyou turned out from behind the counter, still holding a broom in his hand, and there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and then Zhang Yinger also went downstairs.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ying'er asked with a slightly flustered face.
Nie Xiaohu waved his hand, signaled them not to speak, and looked around in the hall on the first floor.
"Sun Weihao, what did you see just now?" , Cao Xiaohui asked the catcher who opened the door.
"Chief catcher, Sister Cao!"
Sun Weihao hugged his fist at the two of them, "As soon as I pushed the door open, I found that a man in black was in the counter, I don't know what he was doing, he also found me, and when I turned around, I saw him covering his face with a black scarf, and then he picked up a small bow and crossbow placed on the counter and aimed it at me."
I yelled 'no' and tilted myself and rolled backwards twice, just then I saw the masked man in black running to the left, and then I heard a heavy door slam. ”
"Oh my God, that guy is here again?!" , Zhang Yinger shouted in panic.
Nie Xiaohu didn't speak, walked to the counter and looked, the counter had been turned into a mess, there was a locked cabinet under the counter, the lock had been pried open, but the cabinet had not been opened, and there was an iron bar on the ground, which should be a tool for picking locks, which was abandoned on the ground.
"What's in there?" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the cabinet and asked.
"This is the place where the money is put in, and yesterday's income is in it!" , Zheng Tianyou replied.
"Open it and see what's missing."
"Yes!" , Zheng Tianyou hurriedly walked over, squatted down and opened the cabinet.
"Not a penny is missing," Zheng Tianyou said after counting it, "It seems that the man was discovered before he could get the money." ”
"It's fine! OK! Zhang Yinger kept beating her heart.
"What about Lin Yixing?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.
"He's probably still sleeping in his room!" , Zhang Yinger said.
"Go get him down!"
"Hey!" , Zhang Yinger agreed, turned around and walked towards the stairs, and Cao Xiaohui also followed.
Nie Xiaohu turned to the corridor on the left and walked over, there was a small bow and crossbow in the corridor, it seemed that the murderer abandoned it when he fled, the vermilion wooden door at the end of the corridor was still closed, and a horizontal log was placed in the middle of the two door panels, and the door was bolted!
Nie Xiaohu's brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes were staring at the two smooth door panels, as if he wanted to see through them, and he didn't even notice that Cao Xiaohui had brought Lin Yixing down.
The entire hall on the first floor was quiet, and even a silver needle could be heard clearly when it landed, Nie Xiaohu stood in front of the door and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyebrows raised, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth rose slightly, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the door panel on the right, on the door panel covered by the index finger of his right hand, there was a tiny hole, the size of an ant hole, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look closely.
Nie Xiaohu suddenly came to his senses, turned around and lowered his head and looked around in the corridor, and after a while, Nie Xiaohu found a toothpick at the root of the wall not far from the door, Nie Xiaohu pinched the toothpick and looked at it, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Official, why are you here? It's terrible here, come back with me! As soon as Tian saw Lin Yixing, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Lady!" , Lin Yixing was caught by Tian, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Official, what's wrong with you?" , Tian asked gently.
"I... I'm fine, but you... What happened to you? Lin Yixing's face turned a little pale.
"Me?" , Tian glanced at Lin Yixing in confusion, "What's wrong with me?" Am I okay? ”
"You... You're talking like that, I... I'm a little unaccustomed to it. ”
"Poof!" With a sound, Cao Xiaohui couldn't help laughing on the side, and Tian reacted at this time, his face changed, as if he was about to have a seizure, but he quickly calmed down and replaced it with a smile.
"Official, the slave family will no longer be fierce to you in the future, will you go back with me?"
"Well... Okay", Lin Yixing nodded tremblingly.
"Good, so obedient!" , Tian smiled, and pulled Lin Yixing to bow to Nie Xiaohu.
"My lord, if there is no business for us here, we will go back first."
"Well, let's go!"
Nie Xiaohu peeked at Zhang Ying'er, looked at her jealous face, and held back her laughter in her heart.
"In the future, you husband and wife will get along well, don't let him run out again!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile as he looked at the backs of the two of them walking out.
"Got it, thank you for the reminder!" , Tian turned his head back, and then pulled Lin Yixing away quickly.
"What were you doing when we came?" , Nie Xiaohu's face changed, and he looked at Zheng Tianyou and asked seriously.
"Back to the adult, the villain opened the door this morning and was cleaning the stairs, when he suddenly heard movement downstairs and heard the sound of the door closing, so he ran down and saw you at once."
"What about you?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Zhang Ying'er again.
"The slave family has just gotten up and is dressing up in the room, when I heard someone shouting downstairs, so I came down to take a look!" , Zhang Yinger pouted.
"Oops?" , Nie Xiaohu sniffed hard in the air and said, "Why is it so sour, which vinegar jar is down?" ”
"Humph!" , Zhang Ying'er turned around, twisted Liu Snake's waist and went upstairs, except for Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui, everyone present was confused.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" , Nie Xiaohu put away his smiling face and looked around.
Shi Yuning immediately understood, and immediately moved a chair over and placed it behind Nie Xiaohu, while Tang Yibin reflexively hugged the sword into his arms and stood behind the chair.
"Tang Yibin!"
After the Pose was set, Nie Xiaohu began his opening remarks.
"As long as it's a crime, there will be loopholes, and all I do is find out the loopholes," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile as he tapped his fingers on his thighs.
"Zheng Tianyou, now I'll tell you where your loopholes are", Xiaohu looked at Zheng Tianyou mockingly.
"Is it really him!?" , Cao Xiaohui blurted out with wide eyes of surprise.
