Chapter 169: The Non-Existent Teahouse (5)
"What a big orchard! Are you all taking care of it alone? Nie Xiaohu came to the edge of the fruit forest and said with a smile at the man.
"Little Wang Tiansheng, I've seen two officials!" , Wang Tiansheng hurriedly stood up and bowed to the two.
"Are you a helper of the Zhu family?"
"Yes, this fruit forest is taken care of by me", Wang Tiansheng nodded with a smile.
"How long have you been at Zhu's house?"
"Back to the official, the little one has been taking care of the fruit forest here for more than five years, and every year when the fruit is ripe, many people in the city will come here to buy the fruit, and the fruits sold in many shops in the city are grown here."
"It's so beautiful here!" , Cao Xiaohui looked into the distance, "It's just that the fence is a little shorter, can it stop the thieves?" ”
Nie Xiaohu looked as far as Cao Xiaohui could see, and at the edge of the large meadow in the distance, there was a row of wooden fences, that is, one person high.
"Anti-burglar?" , Wang Tiansheng smiled and shook his head, "If a little thief who doesn't have long eyes comes in, then he is unlucky, there are more than a dozen martial artists in the manor, and at night they will take turns patrolling and keeping vigil, and the fence is to prevent sheep." ”
"Anti-sheep?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned, "How do you say this?" ”
"Is that so, do you see that hill?" Wang Tiansheng pointed to a small hill to the north of the meadow.
"See", Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"On the other side of the hill, there is a sheep farm, and the sheep in the sheep farm often come here to graze, and the lord is very annoyed by this, so he built a fence."
"I see!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"Brother Tiger, have you found anything?" , Cao Xiaohui asked.
"Let's go, talk as we go", Nie Xiaohu smiled, turned around and walked in the direction of the living room.
"There are only two possibilities in this case", Nie Xiaohu said, "one is that Zhu Baichuan is telling the truth, and the other is that he is lying." ”
Cao Xiaohui frowned and thought for a while and said: "If Zhu Baichuan is lying, it means that he is the murderer, he held a grudge after arguing with Luo Mingjie, so he killed his younger brother Luo Shijie to vent his anger, and then carefully planned a plan to push to the flagpole and kill by mistake." ”
"What you said is not unreasonable", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "But what about that teahouse?" We walked all three roads, and we didn't see any teahouses, if Zhu Baichuan really killed Luo Shijie, then he would never make up a teahouse that didn't exist at all. ”
"And there is", Nie Xiaohu continued, "The fatal injury of the deceased was in the back of the head, and he was also killed by a blunt object, which is completely different from being injured by a flagpole. ”
Cao Xiaohui frowned and nodded, "According to what you say, what Zhu Baichuan said is the truth?" ”
"The question is here, if what Zhu Baichuan said is the truth, where is the teahouse? Ding Xiaoquan's words are credible, I think he must have been to that teahouse, a house can't disappear out of thin air, I think there must be something strange in this! ”
"It seems that if you want to solve this case, that teahouse is the key", Cao Xiaohui nodded and said, "As long as you can find that teahouse, it will not be difficult to find out the truth of the matter." ”
"That's right!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile, "As long as it exists, then it can't fly, it will always be found!" ”
While the two were talking, they had already entered the living room.
"Your Excellency!" , Zhu Baichuan hurriedly greeted him, with a frightened expression on his face, "What I said is true, people were really injured to death by me!" ”
Cui Shi also said: "Yes, yes! The person was accidentally pushed to the flagpole by my lord and smashed to death. ”
"Do you know who died?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Zhu Baichuan and asked.
"No... I don't know", Zhu Baichuan shook his head.
"The deceased's name is Luo Shijie, and he is Luo Mingjie's younger brother."
"What? How could it be...", Zhu Baichuan was taken aback when he heard this, and took several steps backwards one after another, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"END... It's over, now Luo Mingjie will not give up! Zhu Baichuan sat on the chair with his buttocks, and his head drooped weakly.
"Think about it carefully, did you really go to the Tingfeng Teahouse last night?"
"Yes, you can't be wrong", Zhu Baichuan nodded weakly.
"Have you ever seen anyone?"
"Yes!" , Zhu Baichuan raised his head suddenly, "There is a shopkeeper, he saw someone being knocked down first, and he also helped me carry people to the carriage!" ”
"Shopkeeper?" Nie Xiaohu frowned.
"There's a shopkeeper, I also saw it," Ding Xiaoquan nodded on the side.
"If you see him again, you might recognize him?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Zhu Baichuan and Ding Xiaoquan and asked.
"Yes!" , the two said almost at the same time.
"Xiaohui, you take a few brothers and go to the Wang family's sheep farm", Nie Xiaohu thought about it and said.
"Wang's Sheep Farm?" , Cao Xiaohui repeated, her voice full of doubts.
"It's the Wang family I met before I came here, and the warehouse that burned down," Nie Xiaohu reminded.
"I remembered!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded.
"Go further along that warehouse, it's the Wang family's sheep farm, you ......", Nie Xiaohu whispered in Cao Xiaohui's ear.
"Got it!" Cao Xiaohui nodded after listening, turned around and walked out.
"Drive! Drive! The four fast horses immediately disappeared.
"I wish Baichuan!"
"What do you command?"
"You and your wife are not allowed to go out from now on, and they will be summoned at any time!"
"Yes! Be! Zhu Baichuan and Cui Shi both kept nodding their heads.
"Ding Xiaoquan, you too!"
"Got it, sir!"
"Let's go! Let's go to Luo Mingjie's house to have a look! With a wave of his hand, Nie Xiaohu strode out of the living room, and Tang Yibin and the others followed closely.
