Chapter 46: Catching the Fish (2)
"Lock me up!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted.
With a "bang", Shi Yuning put the chain in his hand around Wang Jianfeng's neck.
"What? Why are you arresting me? Wang Jianfeng shouted in a hurry.
"Did I say that Tang Longshao is an old man? Since you've never met him, how do you know he's an old man? Nie Xiaohu sneered.
"It's... I? ”
"Search!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand.
Liu Zhenxiao and Mao Guangjian immediately entered the house, and after a while, the two came out, holding a bloody sweatshirt in their hands.
"Tiger head, look!"
"What else do you have to say?" , Nie Xiaohu asked coldly.
In front of the evidence, Wang Jianfeng suddenly lost his temper and wilted like a frosted eggplant.
The five of them escorted Wang Jianfeng back to the county office, and after handing over the prisoners, one of the officials said: "Nie Zhutou, you came back just in time, there are two people waiting for you, saying that there is an emergency, I arranged them in the gatehouse." ”
"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu walked quickly to the gatehouse.
There were two middle-aged men sitting in the concierge room, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"You're looking for me?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the two and asked.
"You're Nie Zhutou?"
"It's me."
"Great!" The two stood up happily.
"What do you have to do with me?"
"Nie Zhutou, my nephew Tang Tianyi was killed last night, and we have already caught the murderer, you hurry up and take a look!" , one of them said hurriedly.
"Where?" , Nie Xiaohu's nerves immediately tensed again.
"It's Niejia Village outside the city!"
"Lead the way!"
On the way to Niejia Village, Nie Xiaohu learned that Tangjia Village and Niejia Village are neighboring villages, and the deceased's name is Tang Tianyi, whose parents died when he was a child, and he is the nephew of Tang Huaiyuan, the head of Tangjia Village; The murderer's name is Nie Haikun, and he is the nephew of Nie Yuanshan, the head of Niejia Village.
Half a year ago, the two fell in love with a girl at the same time, and that girl fell in love with Nie Haikun, just because Tang Tianyi and the girl met first, so Tang Tianyi thought that Nie Haikun robbed his sweetheart, so the two had a deep grudge and often fought hard.
Last night, Tang Tianyi went to Nie Haikun again to quarrel, and later the old servant of Nie Haikun's family found that Tang Tianyi had been pierced through the heart with a sharp weapon and died in the small garden in the backyard of Nie Haikun's house.
After the people of the Tang and Nie families arrived at the scene, they carefully checked it back and forth, and found a bloody short sword in Nie Haikun's bedroom, and found a button on Tang Tianyi's body on the floor, and there were still a lot of blood stains on the floor.
In addition to the footprints of Tang Tianyi and the old servants of the Nie Haikun family, the footprints of the third person could not be found in the small garden where Tang Tianyi was killed, and within 100 meters of the small garden and the vicinity, after careful search, no murder weapon was found.
Therefore, the people of the Tang family believed that Nie Haikun killed Tang Tianyi, and the bloody short sword was the murder weapon, as well as the buckle, which also proved that it was dropped during the scuffle between the two, so they arrested Nie Haikun and locked him in the firewood room, guarded by two clansmen, so they hurried to report to the official, and the Tang and Nie families have never been on good terms.
After arriving at Nie Family Village, Nie Xiaohu first checked the bloody short sword that belonged to Nie Haikun and the button that had fallen from Tang Tianyi's clothes, and then came to the firewood room where Nie Haikun was imprisoned.
There were people guarding all around the firewood room, and when the person guarding the gate saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, he first gave a salute, and then opened the door.
In the firewood room, Nie Xiaohu saw a young man who was in a state of mind and had sunken eyes, lying on top of a pile of hay, and when he saw Xiaohu and others, this person's eyes seemed to light up, and he quickly got up and bowed down, "Nie Haikun has seen a few officials!" ”
"My surname is Nie, get up and talk quickly." Nie Xiaohu hurriedly helped Nie Haikun up.
"Your surname is Nie too? Could it be that you are the Nie God Catcher that people say? Nie Haikun was obviously a little excited.
Nie Xiaohu nodded, and Nie Haikun's eyes suddenly radiated a light of hope.
"Tell me what happened, don't hide anything, and don't lie at all!" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Nie Haikun's eyes and said.
"Hmm!" Nie Haikun nodded, bit his lip, and said, "Yesterday was my eighteenth birthday, and I had a big drink with my friends who came to celebrate, and I didn't drink until the middle of the night. I drank so much meat and vegetables, and after seeing off my friends, I lay down in my bedroom. Just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, Tang Tianyi suddenly broke in, scolded in his mouth, and said a bunch of things like I robbed his sweetheart, we had quarreled many times because of this matter before, so I didn't care too much, who knew that the more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally said that he wanted me to kill him, and pulled out the short sword I hung on the wall, bit his lip, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the sword body. ”
"So you killed him?" Nie Xiaohu asked.
"Nope!" Nie Haikun instinctively jumped up and shouted, "I didn't kill him!" I was also a little surprised by Tang Tianyi's actions, so I stepped forward and grabbed the short sword and threw it on the table. Then he left, and I fell asleep on the bed because of the strength of the wine, and I didn't know what happened after that, until someone woke me up and said that I had killed Tang Tianyi, and I was locked up here in a daze. ”
After speaking, Nie Haikun squatted down with his head in his hands, "I didn't kill him, I really didn't!" ”
During the whole process, Nie Xiaohu kept staring at the changes in Nie Haikun's eyes, and he didn't see any performance ingredients in it.
Nie Xiaohu carefully considered Nie Haikun's story, got up and walked out of the firewood room.
"Nie Shenzhuo, you must be the master for me! I was wronged! Behind him, Nie Haikun's almost desperate shouts came from the firewood room.
In the living room, Nie Yuanshan found the old servant of Nie Haikun's family again, that is, the only party last night.
"Old man, tell us more about what happened last night." Nie Xiaohu spoke.
