Chapter 298: Edgeworth's Murder (5)
"But her?" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the Lin clan standing in the courtyard.
The catcher turned his head to look at it, nodded and said, "Exactly!" She had been washing clothes in the yard, and no one had ever entered the yard.
It was almost noon when she finished washing her clothes and took them to the back of the house to dry, when I saw a bright light flashing from the window on the second floor of his house! ”
"Bright light? What kind of light? Nie Xiaohu's brows were furrowed.
"I can't tell, anyway, it was a very bright light, flashing in front of the window on the second floor, not only me, but also both of them, and many people watching the excitement on the street."
"Watching the hilarious? What to see lively? ”
"Listening to their chatter, I learned that there was a person named Wang Yang, who said in public yesterday that he wanted to take Zhao Shuogen's head at noon today, so there were a lot of people gathered on the street to watch the excitement."
"Oh", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "What happened later?" ”
After a moment of light, she turned back from the back of the house, with the empty tub in her hand, and entered the house through the main entrance, that is, about a pillar of incense, and ran out of the house screaming, shouting murder! Come on someone or something, we rushed in, went up to the second floor to take a look, and found that someone had fallen on the floor with a dagger stuck in his back, so we notified Sister Cao. ”
"Bright light, dagger ......", Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "During the time she entered the house and ran out to shout for help, was the door open or closed?" ”
"Closed!"
"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu was thinking as he played with the dagger with a circle of yellow paper on the hilt, and suddenly, the movement of Nie Xiaohu's hand stopped, and then walked quickly to the kitchen behind.
After a while, Nie Xiaohu walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"Let's go! Go to Wang Yang's house and have a look! Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and walked into the courtyard.
"My lord! You're going to call the shots for me! ”
When Lin saw Nie Xiaohu walk out, he howled and cried again, "My lord! My lord must have been killed by that Wang Yang with some kind of imperial sword, you must be the master for me! ”
"Edgeworth? What Edgeworth? Did you see that? ", Nie Xiaohu asked.
"This?" Lin paused for a moment, and then cried, "Although I didn't see it, the neighbors said they did, didn't they all lie to me?" ”
"Have any of you seen the flying sword?" , Nie Xiaohu asked the people gathered at the gate of the courtyard loudly.
"I saw it!"
"I saw it too!"
Several cries rang out from the crowd at once.
"Did you see the flying sword? How long is it? Is it copper or iron? ", Nie Xiaohu asked again.
"We didn't see it clearly, we just saw a flash of light!"
"That's it, the flying sword flew so fast that we only saw a bright light!"
"That light passed in a flash, what else could it be if it wasn't a flying sword?"
The crowd began to chirp again.
Nie Xiaohu shook his head helplessly, turned around and ordered: "Guard the door of the house, no one is allowed to enter!" ”
"Yes, head catcher!"
Nie Xiaohu looked at the Lin family carefully up and down again, and saw that the Lin family was a little hairy, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "My lord, you?" ”
"Let's go!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Lin, a weird smile appeared on his face, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
When Nie Xiaohu came to Wang Yang's house, Shi Yuning and the others were already restless, and they all learned the news that Zhao Shuogen had been killed, and they all frowned, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Seeing Nie Xiaohu and the others, Shi Yuning seemed to see a savior, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Tiger head, you're here!"
"Okay, I know everything, I just came from Zhao Shuogen's house!" , Nie Xiaohu raised his hand to interrupt Shi Yuning's words.
"What's going on here?"
"As soon as I came this morning, I went into the house to take a look, and my cousin was doing needlework in the house, and my brother-in-law was lying in bed, and everything was normal, so I arranged for one brother to sit in the drawing-room, and the other brother and I stayed in the courtyard.
From the morning until now, my cousin and cousin-in-law have not gone out, and no one has come, but at noon, the brother who was guarding Zhao Shuogen's house came with the news that Zhao Shuogen was killed, I was stunned at the time, and I don't know what happened until now! ”
"Do your cousins and cousin-in-laws live in the same house?"
"No", Shi Yuning shook his head and said, "My brother-in-law has a leg injury, and it is very inconvenient for the two of them to lie in the same bed, so my cousin lives next door to the bedroom for the time being." ”
"My lord, I heard that Zhao Shuogen was killed, is it true?" At this time, Liang Jia walked down from the second floor, with a worried face.
"It's true", Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"Oh my God! No... It can't really be the old man...... My lord has never left the room! Liang Jia shook her head and said.
"Where's his dagger?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.
"Gone! When I heard that Zhao Shuogen had an accident, I thought of what the master said about the sword killing, I hurriedly went to find the dagger, but I searched and searched, but I couldn't find it, it couldn't be that the master really gave the dagger to the sword and flew away, right? Liang Jia's face showed a panicked expression.
"You stay here, Xiaohui, let's go up and have a look!" After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs.
When I went up to the second floor, the door of the room facing the staircase was still open, and Wang Yang could be seen lying on the bed leisurely, humming a little song in his mouth.
Seeing Nie Xiaohu come in, Wang Yang's face immediately flashed with excitement, and before Nie Xiaohu could speak, he hurriedly said, "I'll kill Zhao Shuogen, hehe!" ”
"Oh? Is it? Nie Xiaohu pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Of course!"
"You went to his house today?"
"No!"
Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I know how to use the sword, where can I go to his house?" ”
"And how did you do that?" , Nie Xiaohu pretended to be very interested and asked.
"It's easy! At noon, I lay on my bed, and this is where I cast a spell and flew my sword to his house, and I could see it wherever it went! ”
Wang Yang said with a gesture: "I saw that Zhao Shuogen was sitting in the study on the second floor of his house, reading a book, so I thought about it, and the sword turned in a circle in the air, went around his back, and then 'poof', and his life was killed!" How's that, awesome, right? ”
