Chapter 40: The Key (6)

"Nie Zhutou, do you have any evidence for this?" , Zheng Jingtao asked.

"Everyone, please see", Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, pointed to the soles of Xiaowen's shoes and said: "Xiaowen went to the garden to water the flowers this morning, so the soles of her shoes are stained with mud"

Everyone looked in the direction of Nie Xiaohu's finger, and sure enough, there was a lot of dirt on the soles of Xiaowen's shoes.

"Let's look here", Nie Xiaohu picked up the wooden stool, "If Xiaowen commits suicide, there should be soil on the soles of her feet on the stool, and on this stool, not only is there no soil, but there are not even half footprints, what does this mean?" ”

Everyone followed the prestige again, and the bench surface was clean and flat.

"So, the murderer is from my house?" , Zheng Jingtao raised his voice.

"Quite possibly!" , Nie Xiaohu said, "Xiaowen must know something that is not good for the murderer, and before she can say it, she was killed." ”

At this time, the surrounding subordinates "boomed" and became chaotic, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a surprised expression on their faces.

Hua Yanlai's face twitched imperceptibly, and he arched his hand at Nie Xiaohu, "Nie catches his head and sees it." ”

"Nie Zhutou, is the murderer of Xiaonu the same person as the murderer of Xiaowen?" , Zheng Jingtao asked.

"That's it!" , Xiaohu nodded.

"That's what you have?"

Xiaohu smiled slightly, "It won't be long." ”

"That's good!" , Zheng Jingtao gritted his teeth and said.

"Old Man Zheng, I have a small request below."

"Nie Zhutou, please speak."

"I hope that everyone in the province will not go out in the past few days, in case the murderer escapes."

"It's easy to do!" , Zheng Jingtao glared at him and said loudly: "You heard it clearly!?" From now on, whoever goes out without permission will be the same as the murderer!! ”

"Yes! Master! The people present replied in unison.

"Uncle, can't I either?" Hua Yanlai asked tentatively and whispered.

"Yan Lai, you should be wronged in the past few days!" , Zheng Jingtao patted Hua Yanlai on the shoulder.

"That's very good, Old Man Zheng, we still have to track down the murderer, so we won't bother!" , Xiaohu hugged his fist.

"Nie catches the head, please." , Zheng Jingtao smiled slightly.

Out of Zheng's house, the five Xiaohu rushed to the Luoning Inn.

"Boss, who opened the room at No. 30 yesterday?", as soon as he entered the door, Xiaohu came to the counter and asked.

Seeing that it was Xiaohu and others, the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "It's Xiao Luanzi." ”

"Little Luanzi?" , Xiaohu frowned, "Can you be sure?" You didn't even look at the register, and you knew it so quickly? ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Xiao Luanzi's family is so poor that I have never seen him come to my place for a meal, let alone live in a hotel, but the night before yesterday, he suddenly came to the store and said that he was going to open a room, or medium, I was very puzzled, so I was particularly impressed." ”

"At that time, I jokingly asked him, why did he not keep the money to honor his wife, and ran to me to spend money indiscriminately?" , the shopkeeper continued.

"What did he say?"

"He said he would have the money to come to this kind of place, but it was just to book a room for someone else, and he was just running errands."

"Well, that's right", Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Then how many days is he going to stay?" ”

"Just one day, the store money was paid, but that's it"

"What's it?"

"The time of this stay has passed, and I haven't seen him come back to hand over the keys, looking for someone to go to his house to ask for it, but he and his mother went out to visit relatives, really...", the shopkeeper shook his head as he spoke.

"Did he say he booked a room for anyone?"

"No," the shopkeeper shook his head.

"Did you notice who entered room 30?"

"This?" , the shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "There are so many people coming in and out every day, I really don't pay attention." ”

Xiaohu pursed his mouth, frowned and patted his head.

"Since the accident, no one has been in room 30, right?" , Xiaohu asked.

"No," the owner replied in the affirmative.

"Where's Room 30?"

"The eighth floor, the one at the end of the corridor on the top floor"

Xiaohu and the others went up to the eighth floor, came to the end of the corridor, and stopped in the room next to the staircase leading to the top of the building, and the door read "Middle Thirty".

Xiaohu nodded, took out the key, inserted it into the lock hole on the door, and with a turn, the door opened.

"How are the keys in their hands?" The shopkeeper watched the five people enter the room with a blank face.

Entering the room, the five began to look around. The furnishings in the room were normal, there was not the slightest sign of a fight, and the floor was clean, not even a single footprint, and it was clear that the room had been cleaned.

"It seems that the murderer has already cleaned up the scene, depressed!" , Shi Yun pouted and sat down on the chair.

Xiaohu came to the desk, carefully observed every object on the table, pen, ink, paper, inkstone are readily available, all placed in the place where they should be, suddenly Xiaohu found that the top of a stack of paper on the table was torn off a small half, Xiaohu thought for a while, took out the note, and tore the edge of the note slowly up, tightly fit!

The corners of Xiaohu's mouth couldn't help but curl, and then he went into the bedroom to look around.

There is only one bed and one wardrobe in the bedroom, the bedding on the bed is very neat, and the wardrobe is also locked, but the lock is broken, and there is nothing in the wardrobe, but at the bottom of the wardrobe, Xiaohu found a pair of shallow footprints, and they are women's footprints.

"It's Zheng Tianjiao's!" , Xiaohu smiled on his face.

"It seems that Zheng Tianjiao should have been killed here, and then the murderer hid it in the closet, and waited until midnight to secretly transport the body to the roof of the building." , Xiaohu speculated.

"But who is the murderer?"
