Chapter 34: Suspicion in the Secret Room (6)
"That's right! Prove it! Xu Tiancai obviously lacked confidence in speaking, and his tone changed from the treble just now to the middle tone.
"You think we just went out shopping? Little Yanagiko, go get that stone in! ”
Liu Zhenxiao agreed, went out and moved the stone with the rope tied in.
"I just went out to the bottom of the valley, and soon found this stone, Xiao Maozi, you go and check if there are any traces of burning at the end of the rope on the stone, and then go and compare the rope on the second floor to see if the fracture can match."
Mao Guangjian immediately went up to the second floor, took the rope down, compared it with the rope tied to the stone, and then nodded.
"Report to the tiger head, the fracture is completely matched, it is the same rope!"
At this time, Xu Tiancai was already trembling.
"In addition, I also found this in the valley", Nie Xiaohu held a small white porcelain bottle in his hand and shook it in front of everyone.
Xu Tiancai saw the porcelain vase in Nie Xiaohu's hand, and obviously trembled, how could Xu Tiancai's change escape Nie Xiaohu's eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"He also threw this bottle down the valley, and unfortunately I found it."
"No, it's not mine!" , Xu Tiancai's eyes were red, and he screamed hysterically, "Why do you say that this drug is mine!?" ”
"Did I say it's a drug?" , Nie Xiaohu sneered twice.
"This?" , Xu Tiancai couldn't speak anymore, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground with a "poof".
"Do you want me to find Hu Jian, who sold your drugs, and you can confront him?" , Nie Xiaohu asked mockingly.
"Me?" , Xu Tiancai began to tremble.
"Another interesting phenomenon is that I found a little blood stain on this stone, which means that you accidentally scratched your palm when you pushed it."
Xu Tiancai hurriedly stretched out his hands and looked at it.
"Haha! I lied to you! Don't admit yourself, right? Nie Xiaohu laughed.
"Tell me, how did you murder Old Man Xu?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Xu Tiancai, who was sitting on the ground, his face was like frost.
Xu Tiancai was silent for a while, shook his head, and said: "Last night, I took the opportunity to change the food in the secret room, placed a brazier in the secret room, and secretly drugged the food, because the old man is timid by nature, after dinner, I scared him and said that there were robbers in the house, the old man was afraid, so he hurriedly entered the secret room, and locked the door inside, and after a while, the drug attacked, and the next thing was as you said." ”
"What are you doing this for? Old man Xu is old, will his property fall on you sooner or later? Xu Xiaohe asked with a frown.
"He brought it on himself!" , Xu Tiancai suddenly raised his voice, "He thinks I don't know how to learn, he thinks I eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, if my mother hadn't stopped me, he would have kicked me out of the house a long time ago!" My mother is dead, and it won't be long before he kicks me out of the house, and he will! ”
"You brute!" , Xu Xiaohe scolded angrily and kicked Xu Tiancai to the ground.
Nie Xiaohu shook his head and waved his hand, "Tie it up and take it away!" ”
"Goodbye, I'm not far away!" , Xu Xiaohe smiled and watched the five Xiaohu escort Xu Tiancai away, as the backs of the five people became farther and farther away, Xu Xiaohe's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
……
"Tiger Head, your eyes are really poisonous, you can find such a small bottle in the valley", Shi Yuning said excitedly in the fast room.
"Find a ball!" , Nie Xiaohu pouted, "The big stone tied to the rope is easy to find, the shrubs and weeds in the valley are overgrown, and there are stones everywhere, where can I find a small bottle?" ”
"And where did you get the bottle?" , Shi Yunning was a little confused.
"When I was looking for stones at the bottom of the valley, I found half a fragment of a porcelain bottle, smelled it, and there was a smell of ecstasy on it, which confirmed my conjecture, but the bottle was broken, and I didn't have the time to pull it around, I suddenly thought of the Hu Jian who sold the drug that we met in the morning tea shop, so I guessed that the drug may have been sold by Hu Jian to Xu Tiancai, fortunately, I still have the bottle of the drug, and the result is a fraud, hehe!" , Nie Xiaohu laughed twice.
"Tiger head, it's really yours!"
"It's called a thief's heart, hahahaha!" Xiaohu laughed.
"Well, but then again, Xu Tiancai is really smart enough to come up with such an ingenious design, but he made things a little complicated."
Nie Xiaohu shook his head and said: "The more complicated the matter, the easier it is to make loopholes, if Xu Tiancai hadn't made a farce of hanging himself on the beam of the house, just looking at the scene in the secret room, I really might believe that Old Man Xu committed suicide." ”
Tang Yibin and the others lowered their heads and thought about it, and they all nodded lightly.
"Little stone, I have something here, take a look", Nie Xiaohu reached out and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shi Yuning.
"What is this?"
"This is what I found in Xu Tiancai's room, you will understand it all after reading it." , Nie Xiaohu's expression was a little complicated.
Shi Yuning opened the letter suspiciously, and after reading it, Shi Yuning didn't say a word, his expression was serious, and his eyes became sharp.
Tang Yibin saw that something was not right, and snatched the letter from Shi Yuning's hand, and Liu Zhenxiao and Mao Guangjian also came over.
The letter was written by Xu Xiaohe to Xu Tiancai, the time was half a month ago, and the content is as follows:
Tim Choi My Nephew:
When I heard the bad news of my brother and sister, I was overwhelmed with grief, and I hope that your festival will change smoothly. My brother Xiaotian is old, and you should serve as a good student, so that he can live for a long time.
I have heard that you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and do not learn or skill, which makes my brother often angry about this matter. Half a year ago, my brother had the idea of returning you, but fortunately my brother and sister tried their best to stop it, so I gave up, and you should clean yourself and not provoke him to anger again.
My brother Xiaotian and his younger siblings have a deep affection, after the younger siblings go, he will be sad every day, you have to take good care of him, don't let him do stupid things, remember! Remember!
Uncle Xu Xiaohe
"It turns out that he is the real mastermind behind the scenes!" After reading the letter, Mao Guangjian blurted out.
"This is really a murder without blood!" , Liu Zhenxiao sighed.
"Xu Tiancai was used as a gun by him!" , Tang Yibin snorted coldly.
"Tiger Head, why didn't you point it out at the time?" , Shi Yuning asked.
Nie Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "Is this necessary?" Although Xu Xiaohe is the mastermind, he is only secretly provoking, which inspired Xu Tiancai's determination to kill, after all, he didn't do anything, and besides, did he really want to kill the Xu family? Little stone, what do you say? ”
Shi Yuning smiled bitterly twice, grabbed the letter from Tang Yibin's hand, walked slowly to the window, raised his head and looked at the sky, and finally sighed: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know both good and evil, let him go!" In the future, I will not have this cousin! ”
After speaking, Shi Yunning glanced at the letter, which was instantly torn into pieces and thrown out of the window, and countless pieces of shredded paper drifted into the distance with the wind.
