"The deceased had no external injuries on his body, his lungs were full of water, and he died by drowning, within two hours," reads on the corpse.

Nie Xiaohu looked at the corpse, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again.

"Mrs. Xia, please also mourn and change, we will accompany you to transport the body back", Nie Xiaohu looked at Xia Nan who was still crying and said.

"Thank you, sir!" , Xia Nan wiped her tears and owed slightly.

An hour later, everyone came to the gate of a courtyard in Datong District, and a middle-aged man greeted him with a surprised look.

"Sister-in-law, what are you?" , The man came to Xia Nan's side and asked suspiciously.

"Big brother!" , Xia Nan cried and told what happened.

"What? How so! After hearing this, the man was immediately stunned.

"Brother Wu!" It wasn't until he saw Wu Zhiyuan's body that the man came back to his senses and roared sadly.

"What's your name? What is the relationship with the deceased? Nie Xiaohu looked at the man and asked.

The man calmed down a little, bowed to Nie Xiaohu and said: "My lord, the villain's name is Lin Peihao, he lives in Luanchuan County, and his brother Lin Peihong is a good friend in business with Brother Wu, and most of the business dealings between my brother and Brother Wu are handled by me back and forth. ”

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Oh, that's the case", Lin Peihao hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and said, "My brother wrote a letter to Brother Wu, asking me to send it quickly, I set off from home yesterday morning, and I didn't arrive here until more than half an hour ago, I didn't know that there was no one at home, I had to wait outside the courtyard gate, I didn't expect ......", Lin Peihao's eyes were red after speaking.

"Luanchuan County? It's not close to here! Nie Xiaohu frowned.

"It's not close, it's a day's journey to ride a horse, I stayed at the Fuyuan Inn outside the city last night, and I only entered the city this morning," Lin Peihao nodded and replied.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and turned to look at Xia Nan: "Mrs. Xia, the honorable husband unfortunately fell into the water and died, this is what we don't want to see, please mourn and change the way, so that we can bury him!" ”

"Yes, my lord", Xia Nan nodded with a sob.

"Then we're leaving!" , Nie Xiaohu hugged his fists, turned over on his horse, and left with a flick of the horse's head, followed by Cao Xiaohui and everyone.

"Little stone, little hair, little willow!" , After walking out for about a quarter of an hour, Nie Xiaohu suddenly shouted.

"Tiger Head!" , the three of them hurriedly walked up.

"You guys go to the Fuyuan Inn outside the city and check if that Lin Peihao really spent the night there last night!"

"Understood!" The three of them immediately ran towards the outside of the city.

"What, Brother Tiger? Could it be that you suspect that Wu Zhiyuan was killed? Cao Xiaohui frowned.

"It's hard to say!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his head gently.

"At that time, we saw it with our own eyes, so Wu Zhiyuan went to the river to pick flowers, and fell into the river, how could it be that he was killed?" , Cao Xiaohui was completely confused.

"What I saw with my own eyes is true", the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth raised slightly, "But none of us saw the face of the man who fell into the water, did we?" ”

"That's right", Cao Xiaohui nodded, "Could it be that the Wu Zhiyuan who died is not the one who fell into the water?" How is this possible? ”

"Nothing impossible", Nie Xiaohu smiled, "There are two suspicious points in this case, one is that there are multiple holes in the clothes worn by the deceased, which are obviously caused by something like a tree branch, if he really fell into the water, where did those cuts come from?"

Second, although Wu Zhiyuan drowned, but there was no scar on his body, imagine if he really fell into the water, there are many big stones in the river, under the action of such a turbulent water, how could he not hit a few pieces, thus leaving bruises and other scars that have been hit? ”

Cao Xiaohui nodded thoughtfully, frowned and thought about it, and said: "It is also possible that the wound on the clothes was left before he fell into the water, as for the lack of scars, it may also be a coincidence, he just didn't hit the stone, this is also maybe?" ”

"So, it's hard to say, let the little stones and them check it, be prepared!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"I think you're just a little nervous, and you're uncomfortable if you don't have a case, right?" , Cao Xiaohui gave him a blank look.

Returned to the fast catching room and entered the courtyard, before he stepped on the steps of the hall, Nie Xiaohu heard a few voices shouting grievances behind him, Nie Xiaohu frowned, stopped, and turned to look.

I saw three people walking in at the gate of the compound, two catchers and a ragged homeless man, and the homeless man kept shouting that he was wronged.

"What's going on?" , Nie Xiaohu walked back with a gloomy face.

"Total headcatcher!" , the two catchers hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.

"What's going on? Why did he cry out for injustice? ”

"My lord! Lord Qingtian! I have been wronged, please be gracious! As if he had seen a savior, the homeless man quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"That's what happened," said one of the catchers.

"Just half an hour ago, the two of us brothers were patrolling the street, and when we passed by the Zheng family's pawnshop, a guy inside came out and said that there was a homeless man who took a piece of clothes with good texture. Therefore, he suspected that he had stolen the garment.

So we asked him where he got his clothes, and he said he picked them up, and that this kind of lie was too uncreative, so we caught him! Catcher smiled.

"Where's the clothes?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly.

"Here!" Another catcher hurriedly handed over a small cloth bag in his hand.

"Always catch the head, this dress is a little wet, not dry yet, and there is a 'Wu' word embroidered on the lining of the clothes, which is obviously a family that dried it outside, it must have been stolen by him and taken to the pawnshop for money!"

Nie Xiaohu opened the cloth bag and shook off the clothes, it was a wet blue gown, looking at this gown, Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"My lord, this is really what I picked up, not stolen, the sky can testify!" , the homeless man said busily.

Nie Xiaohu didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the long shirt with interest, and said with a smile: "Xiaohui, do you see that this dress is a little familiar?" ”

Cao Xiaohui looked at the dress carefully, frowned slightly and said, "This seems to be the same as the clothes that Wu Zhiyuan is wearing." ”

"It's the same! There is also a 'Wu' character embroidered here! ", Nie Xiaohu flipped open the lining and pointed to the word 'Wu' embroidered with black silk thread at the hem.

"Brother Tiger, you... You wouldn't think this dress was Wu Zhiyuan's, right? Cao Xiaohui was surprised.

"It's not good!" , Nie Xiaohu immediately came to his senses, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
