Nie Xiaohu walked along the root of the wall again, and found that there was a hole in the window paper in the lower right corner of a window in the inner courtyard, and the stubble was very new, it should have just been pierced, Nie Xiaohu carefully observed the hole, and finally, a very small amount of white powder was found on the broken window lattice.

"Bring a clean piece of paper!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted without raising his head.

The guy in the store was looking at Nie Xiaohu in wonder, and suddenly heard Nie Xiaohu's shout, hurriedly ran into the counter, and ran to Nie Xiaohu with a clean white paper.

Nie Xiaohu glanced up at the guy, reached out and took the white paper, carefully scraped the white powder on the window lattice to the paper, then wrapped it and put it in his arms.

"Nie catches the head!" At this moment, an urgent shout came from the street outside the door, and then a servant ran in.

"What's the matter?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a frown.

"Nie Zhutou, someone found a corpse at the bottom of the cliff of Zhuquan Mountain outside the city, you hurry up and take a look, the horse has brought it to you!" , the official gasped.

"Give this to the workman, and check what the powder is inside!" , Nie Xiaohu took out the paper bag in his arms and handed it to the officer.

"Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, Nie Xiaohu had already arrived outside the house, and Tang Yibin and the others followed quickly.

At the bottom of the cliff of Zhuquan Mountain, a male corpse was lying on his back on a pile of rocks, the blood under his body had not yet completely coagulated, the deceased was an old man, and an old woman was kneeling beside the corpse and crying bitterly.

"Nie Zhutou, the body was found about two hours ago, the deceased's name is Hao Yihe, a 53-year-old from Zhuquan Village, it looks like he fell from above, and next to him is his wife Zhao," said a government official in charge of maintaining the scene.

"Old mother, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad", Nie Xiaohu comforted the crying old woman.

Zhao heard someone talking to her behind her, turned her head to look, then stood up with a sob, choked up and said, "Old Zhao, I have seen the official." ”

"Old mother, who is the deceased?"

"It's my old man, named Hao Yihe."

"And when did he go out, for what reason, where was he going, and who was going with him?" , Nie Xiaohu asked a series of questions.

"My old man went out early this morning, saying that he was entrusted by someone to go out to do something, and he could come back before the evening, as for where he was going, he never mentioned it, and no one went with him, he went out alone, who ever thought, it's only been half a day, how can it... What's the matter...", Zhao hid his face and cried bitterly again.

Nie Xiaohu thought for a while, then looked up and looked up, there was a cliff protruding outward more than thirty meters above, and there was a pavilion on the cliff.

Going up to the pavilion, Nie Xiaohu carefully surveyed the scene in and around the pavilion, everything was normal, and no traces of fighting or artificial cleaning were found. There happened to be a family at the entrance of the mountain road, Nie Xiaohu asked the residents here, according to the residents, they saw the deceased go up the mountain early this morning, and before he went up the mountain and found that he was dead, no one went up the mountain or someone came down from the mountain.

"It seems that most of the deceased accidentally fell off a cliff and died while resting in the pavilion after going up the mountain, you go and ask around to see if you can find the person who entrusted the deceased to do things, and figure out why the deceased went up the mountain, and then the case can be closed," Nie Xiaohu explained to the official responsible for maintaining the scene.

"Understood, I'll do it!"

It was close to evening when I returned to the county office, and the results of the test had come out, and the white powder in the paper bag was a kind of drug, which could be blown into the air through a bamboo pipe, and once people smelled it, they would fall into a coma, which was a common tool used by burglars.

"Drugged? Two rooms that are exactly the same? Nie Xiaohu fell into deep thought again.

After a while, Mao Guangjian, Sun Bingying and others also returned to the fast room.

"How? Did you find it? ", Nie Xiaohu asked with a frown.

Sun Bingying didn't speak, just sighed softly and shook his head, with a dejected look on his face.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll expand the scope of my search tomorrow, I believe I will always find it", Nie Xiaohu comforted.

"That's it, then I'll go back to the inn first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow", Sun Bingying turned around and left helplessly.

"Tiger head, I haven't found anyone, but I have inquired about something interesting," Mao Guangjian said with a wicked smile.

"Oh, what's interesting?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly became interested.

"That's right, the place where Zuo Daoqing saw Shen Zhiping that day was near a tavern in the south of the city, Hutouer, guess who opened that tavern?"

"Who?" , Nie Xiaohu's face was tight.

"Shen Leyou!"

"Is that him?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, "So what?" ”

"That's not the point", Mao Guangjian laughed twice, "The left neighbor of the tavern is an old woman surnamed Wang, known as Wang Ma, who is a well-known tongue chewer, according to Wang Ma, that Shen Leyou secretly has a good match, it is Chang Yongyi's wife Liu Meier!" ”

When Nie Xiaohu heard this, he stood up suddenly, startling Mao Guangjian.

"But what did she see?" , Nie Xiaohu's face was serious, and his eyes were like knives.

"Ang"

Mao Guangjian nodded, and said a little scared, "She said that the day before yesterday and last night, she saw it in the window on the second floor of her backyard, saying that Shen Leyou drove a carriage and parked it in the backyard of the tavern, and a woman came out of the carriage, it was Liu Meier." ”

"Carriage, evening, Shen Leyou, Liu Meier", Nie Xiaohu repeated it a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Maozi, you go and call the husband who beat the watchman, I have something to ask him!"

"Understood!" , Mao Guangjian straightened his chest, agreed with a serious face, and immediately turned around and went out.

That is, after a meal, Mao Guangjian came back with a skinny little old man.

"Tiger Boss, he was the one who fought the day before yesterday and last night!" , Mao Guangjian pushed the little old man.

"Big... Adult, the little old man's name is Wei San'er, and I played more the day before yesterday and last night", Wei San nodded and said.
