In June, the sun is blazing, the sun spares no effort to scorch the earth, and the trees are screaming desperately, for fear that people will not know that summer has arrived.

Just after noon that day, Nie Xiaohu and the others had lunch in a tavern on the side of the street and walked down the street.

"Tiger head, it just so happens that my house is not far ahead, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea!" , Shi Yuning pointed ahead.

"Good!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

……

"Boss Luo, look at the new bed I just bought from you!" In Shi Yuning's home, Wang pointed to the brand-new wooden bed in the bedroom.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this bed? ", Boss Luo asked with a frown.

"It's not a big problem, and it's very comfortable to sleep, but every time a carriage passes by on the street, the bed trembles and annoys people to death!"

"Trembling?" , Boss Luo asked curiously.

"That's right! If you don't believe it, lie down on it and wait for the carriage to pass in the street, and you'll know! ”

"It's... It's not appropriate, right? ”

"What's out of place? You don't lie on it, how do you know this bed is really shivering? ”

"That's right!" , Boss Luo nodded.

"You lie down, and you'll understand as soon as the carriage passes by on the street, I'll go to the backyard to wash my clothes, and if you fix the bed, call me!" After speaking, Wang turned around and went out.

"Okay!" , Boss Luo nodded in agreement, took off his shoes, and lay on the bed.

"Tiger Boss, it's here, let's all come in!" , Shi Yuning pushed open the courtyard door and greeted everyone.

"You sit down first, I'll make you a pot of tea!" , Shi Yuning beckoned everyone to sit down in the living room, and turned around and entered the inner hall.

"What are you! How to lie in my bed! After a few breaths, Shi Yunning's roar came from the inner hall bedroom.

Nie Xiaohu and the others were all startled, and instantly got up and rushed into the inner hall.

In Shi Yuning's bedroom, Nie Xiaohu, Shi Yuning and others stood together, staring at Boss Luo who was trembling on the bed.

"Zhu... Ladies and gentlemen, I... I am the owner of Luo's furniture shop, my name is Luo Shihui", Boss Luo stammered.

"What are you doing lying in my bed!" , Shi Yuning asked angrily.

"I... I said I'm waiting for the carriage and you... Do you believe it? Boss Luo's voice trembled.

"Waiting for the carriage?!" , Shi Yuning's eyes widened.

"What's going on?" At this time, Wang heard a voice from the backyard and walked in.

After listening to Wang's explanation of the ins and outs of the matter, Nie Xiaohu and the others all laughed back and forth, laughing out loud.

……

"Brother Du, I drank so much today!"

At Du Zhongyao's home in Luobin District, Shen Xianlin tried hard to open his drunken eyes, and said with a smile while burping.

"Brother Shen, I'm really happy today, why don't we sleep first and continue at night?"

"Well... All right! After Shen Xianlin finished speaking, the person slipped out of the chair and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, someone came to report that a murder had occurred in a house by the Luoshui River in Luobin District, and a man died in his own house, Nie Xiaohu immediately led people to the scene.

This is a lonely small courtyard, close to the Luoshui River, there are no people on the left and right, there is only one main room in the courtyard, at this time the door is closed, the front and rear doors are latched from the inside, and all the windows are also closed, bolted from the inside.

A small hole was made in the window paper on the left side of the main entrance, and a man could be seen lying on his back on the ground with a feathered arrow stuck in his chest.

"What's your name? What is the relationship with the deceased? Nie Xiaohu stared at the middle-aged woman in front of him and asked.

"Back to my lord, the slave family Feng, the home is not far from here, the owner of this family is named Jiang Tinghan, who lives alone, and Master Jiang hires the slave family to clean the room once every morning and evening.

This morning, the slave family came here on time, but found that the door was closed, and no one answered after I called the door for a long time, so I poked a small hole in the window and looked in, and found that Master Jiang died in the house, so I hurriedly ran to report to the official! Feng said with a horrified expression.

"Is he at home at this time?"

"No," Feng shook his head and said, "Normally, Master Jiang would have gone out at this time, he gave me a key, I cleaned the house, and then locked the door when I left." ”

"Pry the window open!" , Nie Xiaohu said.

The door opened, Nie Xiaohu entered the house, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a bed, a table, a large wardrobe against the wall, two chairs, and there was an iron box in the corner of the wall, which looked very heavy, the door of the iron box was open, and it was empty, and there was a burden hanging on the head of the bed, which contained fifty taels of silver, and a chain was hung on the latch of the main entrance, and a copper lock was hung on the chain.

Although the furnishings are simple, the furniture is not, whether it is a wooden bed or a table and chairs, they are all made of fine wood, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance.

Jiang Tinghan fell to the ground on his back, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his chest, and the blood flowing from the middle arrow had turned purple and black, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while. The deceased was wearing a white single coat on his upper body and only a pair of large blue trousers on his lower body, and it was apparently that he was killed while sleeping.

After careful searching, there were no passages such as basements and secret passages found in the room, and there were no traces of fighting on the ground, and the doors and windows were all latched from the inside, making it a real secret room.

But soon a new discovery was made, and a small piece of silk thread was found tied to the window bolt on the right side of the rear door, and it was evident from the break that the silk thread had been torn off.

"The murderer must have flipped out of this window," Cao Xiaohui said, "He first tied a piece of silk thread to the horizontal bolt, closed the window after going out, and then pulled the silk thread to latch the window." ”

"Hmm," Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Very clumsy technique." ”

"Your Excellency!" , and handed over the corpse.

Nie Xiaohu took the corpse and looked at it, the time of death was between midnight and midnight last night, and the cause of death was an arrow through the heart, killing him on the spot.

"My lord, there is something else strange about the corpse," he said.

"Oh? What's so strange? ”

"There are obvious scratches on the inside of the deceased's mouth, as if they had swallowed some kind of hard object before death, and as for what they swallowed, they still need to be taken by stomach dissection to know."

"yes, I see!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"Little stone!"

"Tiger Head!"

"You, Xiao Maozi, and Xiao Liuzi will bring a few more brothers to check on this Jiang Tinghan to see what kind of background this person is, and if he has any friends and enemies?"
