In the study, Xiaohu lowered his head and thought, pacing back and forth, and everyone's eyes fell on Xiaohu's body.

Suddenly, Xiaohu grabbed a chair, "Tang Yibin!" ”

Tang Yibin smiled, then held the long sword in his arms with both hands, divided his legs left and right, stood behind Xiaohu, and looked ahead with a serious expression.

Nie Xiaohu was lying on his side on the chair, cocking Erlang's legs, and looking at everyone with a smile.

"Tiger Boss, this is about to begin!" , Liu Zhenxiao whispered.

"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.

"Mrs. Qiu Lingqiu, now I'll tell you where your loopholes are", Xiaohu looked at Qiu Ling mockingly.

"I remember a detective who said this," said Xiaohu mysteriously, "and he said that if all impossible assumptions are eliminated, then the last thing that remains, no matter how implausible, is the truth." ”

"Makes sense!" , Mao Guangjian pondered Xiaohu's words and nodded thoughtfully.

Xiaohu Yile continued: "In this case, there are only two assumptions, one is that the murderer escaped after the killing, and the other is that he did not escape. ”

"Nonsense", Shi Yuning pursed his lips, "I also know this." ”

Xiaohu glared at him, and then said: "At the time of the crime, we broke down the door immediately after discovering the murderer, so it is impossible for the murderer to go out through the gate; At that time, the downstairs was full of people, and no abnormalities were found, which means that the murderer could not have escaped through the window or the roof; And the whole building has no other exit except the gate, what does this mean? ”

Xiaohu paused, looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "One point is explained, that is, the hypothesis that the murderer escaped has been ruled out!" ”

Xiaohu glanced at Qiu Ling intentionally or unintentionally when he said this, and found that the expression on Qiu Ling's face obviously began to become nervous.

Xiaohu smiled, "Then there is only one possibility left, that is, the murderer did not run away at all, he is in this room." ”

"That's weird," Shi Yuning said with a frown, "but there was really no one in the room at the time?" ”

"No one? Except for the corpse of Old Man Zhang, there is no one in the room? ”

"No", Shi Yuning shook his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "And Mrs. Qiu!" ”

"Exactly!" , Xiaohu nodded and said.

"That's not right! At that time, Mrs. Qiu's hands were tied behind her back and she was stuffed into a box, and she was still in a coma at the time, how could it be her? ”

"Coma, anyone can pretend to be out, as for the hands tied behind their backs, this ordinary person really can't do it, but for her!" , Xiaohu pointed at Qiu Ling, "But it's easy!" ”

"Everyone's forgotten what this Lady Qiu used to do?"

"Acrobatics!" , Shi Yuning suddenly realized, "Her body is as soft as bones, if she wants to put her hands behind her chest and back, she can do it!" ”

"You, you!" , Qiu Ling shouted in panic, "The master is a big man, and I am a weak woman, how can I be his opponent?" At that time, you all saw that the old man was covered from behind in front of the window, and he couldn't move when he struggled, where did I get so much strength? ”

"Good question!" , Xiaohu clapped his hands, "Everyone knows this, right?" ”

Xiaohu said and lifted the fly swatter, "What if you put a pair of gloves on it, it doesn't look like a hand from a distance?" Xiaohu spoke, covering the fly swatter in his hand to his mouth.

"Like, like!" , Shi Yuning said in surprise.

"Actually, the old man Zhang in the window you saw downstairs at that time was already a dead person, she was just shaking the corpse behind her back!" , Xiaohu pointed to Qiu Ling, who was trembling all over.

"The fact is that Master Zhang invited Chen Tianrun to the study that night to discuss matters, and the discussion must be about his affair with Qiu Ling.

After Chen Tianrun stabbed Master Zhang to death with a dagger in the study, he lingered downstairs, just to wait for Qiu Ling to stage the scene in front of the window, and then shouted loudly, so that everyone could see that Master Zhang was killed by others, and we happened to pass by here at this time, and by mistake, we became a witness to Chen Tianrun's absence at the scene of the murder. ”

"Hmm", Liu Zhenxiao and the others all nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll tell you more about what this Lady Qiu did at that time!"

Xiaohu's index finger and middle finger of his right hand quickly clicked on his thigh a few times, and continued: "This Mrs. Qiu did obey Master Zhang's instructions when Master Zhang and Chen Tianrun were discussing matters, and went downstairs to water the flowers, and after Chen Tianrun came out, she returned to the building, bolted the door, went up to the second floor, quickly arranged the room as if it had been stolen, and then put a white glove on this fly swatter. ”

As he spoke, Xiaohu shook the fly swatter in his hand, "Then pull out the dagger on Master Zhang's chest, help the body up, and stand in front of the window, so that when you look up downstairs, it is at night, and the people downstairs can't tell whether Master Zhang is dead or alive", Xiaohu said this, and glanced at Qiu Ling again.

At this time, Qiu Ling's face was already as white as earth, trembling like sifting chaff.

Xiaohu smiled contemptuously, "Then she staged the scene that everyone saw downstairs from behind the corpse of Master Zhang, and then she put down the corpse, took off the gloves, stuffed them into her mouth, and then quickly tied her hands, and put her back behind her back, got into the box and pretended to be unconscious, this is how the whole thing happened." ”

After Xiaohu finished speaking, he stared at Qiu Ling and asked, "Am I right, Mrs. Qiu?" ”

"This, this is all your speculation, evidence, evidence?" , Qiu Ling remembered what Chen Tianrun had said to her in a panic, there is no evidence, no one can do anything about them, this is her only lifesaver.

"Humph!" , Xiaohu snorted coldly, "Do you want evidence?" ”

Xiaohu pointed to the wooden box in the corner with his hand, "The evidence is here!" ”

And they all came to the side of the box and looked in.

"Where is the evidence, why can't I see it?" , Shi Yuning asked with a frown.

Chen Tianrun was very calm, and looked at Xiaohu with a sneer, "Yes, where is the evidence?" ”

"These footprints are proof!" , Xiaohu sneered back at Chen Tianrun.

"Footprints? How do I not understand? Shi Yuning shook his head and said.

"You've been with me for so long! Think about it, if a person is in a coma and is picked up and stuffed into a box, where will his footprints be? ”

Shi Yuning frowned and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I understand!" If Lady Qiu had been stuffed into a box, her footprints would have been on the side wall of the box, not on the clothes in the middle of the box! ”

"That's right!" The corners of Xiaohu's mouth curled, "Only when you enter the box will you step on the clothes in the box, thus leaving footprints, which expose you, Mrs. Qiu!" If you hadn't watered the flowers at that time, you wouldn't have gotten dirt under your feet, and you wouldn't have left footprints, but alas, alas! ”

Qiu Ling finally collapsed at this time, couldn't stand anymore, and collapsed on the floor all of a sudden, Chen Tianrun also took a few steps back one after another, sighed, and lowered his head helplessly.

"I said, I said it all", Qiu Ling muttered to herself with a glazed gaze.
