Chapter 227: The Wrong Shortcut (8)

"Who said he was? Has the Yamen issued a notice? ”

Nie Xiaohu shook his head and said, "Your brother is just suspected of murder, and there is no real evidence, how can I make a judgment?" ”

"Suspicion? Conclusive evidence? My brother has been killed by Ning Shifeng, where is the real evidence! My brother could never be a murderer! Zheng Tianyou was obviously excited.

"Don't be too excited, say whatever you think, if there is really a grievance, I will definitely make decisions for you!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Zheng Tianyou with a firm gaze.

Zheng Tianyou was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "My family originally lived in Kaifeng, when I was a child, my parents died, my brother and I depended on each other, one year there was a locust plague in the village, there was no harvest in the field, in order to survive, my brother and I could only leave our hometown and beg along the street.

One day our brother was walking on the road, suddenly there was a group of mountain bandits robbing the road, as a result of the panic our brother was separated, I couldn't find my brother, all the way to Luoyang, fortunately the owner of Anyang Restaurant was kind enough to take in, so he made a guy in the store.

Just over half a month ago, I heard that there was a murder on the street, so I ran to see it, only to find ......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Tianyou left tears, and after sobbing for a while, Zheng Tianyou raised his hands, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, and then said: "My brother is loyal and honest, and he doesn't even dare to step on an ant to death on weekdays, let alone kill someone!" He often said to me on weekdays, we can be poor and starving, but we must not steal or rob!

I remember once we saw a puppy on the side of the road took away the steamed buns on a stall, and the boss was about to beat the puppy with a wooden stick, my brother felt pity and went up to block the puppy with his right arm, but his right arm was discounted at that time, although his right arm could move after half a year, but he could no longer move freely, no different from scrapping.

My lord, you say, how could a person like my brother sneak into someone else's house to steal and dare to kill someone? This must have been wronged! In order to avenge my brother, I had no choice but to go and claim the body, and let him bury his bones in a foreign land, I am sorry for him! ”

After speaking, Zheng Tianyou hugged his head and cried.

After listening to Zheng Tianyou's narration, Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui were both embarrassed and shook their heads again and again.

"Brother Hu, what did you mean when you said that Ning Shifeng's case was suspicious?" , Cao Xiaohui asked after lamenting for a while.

"First of all, if you meet a thief on the street, will you draw a knife and chase after you?" , Nie Xiaohu asked rhetorically.

"No, that will affect the speed, and there is no need for it, just a thief who steals", Cao Xiaohui shook her head.

"Also, although Ning Shifeng's home looked like it was turned over very messily at that time, the kitchen was neat, and even the meat buns in the cage drawer had not been touched, if it was said that Zheng Tianzuo was very hungry and went in to steal food, this is inexplicable."

"Also, if Zheng Tianzuo really killed someone, then it is impossible for him to have no blood stains on his body, but in the accounts of witnesses Wang Mei and Jiang Zhongjie at the time, this was not mentioned, and where did the dagger come from? When he ran out of Ning Shifeng's house, his hands were empty, which Wang Mei could confirm. ”

"That's right!" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help nodding her head, "Brother Hu, since there are so many doubts, why are you?" ”

"Although there are a lot of suspicions, they are all just suspicions, and there is no evidence to prove my conjecture, so I have no choice but to put this case on hold for the time being, wanting to wait until the identity of the deceased is confirmed to find clues, but I didn't expect that his case would be brought out."

Nie Xiaohu sighed lightly, looked at Zheng Tianyou and shook his head.

"My lord, you must avenge my brother! He was wronged! Zheng Tianyou shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, the matter will come to light, if your brother is really wronged, I will definitely avenge him! Come! ”

Immediately, two catchers pushed the door and walked in.

Nie Xiaohu waved his hand, "Take him down!" ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you for avenging my brother! Zheng Tianyou shouted loudly as he walked.

"Open the coffin for autopsy!" , Nie Xiaohu slapped the table.

"Open coffin autopsy? Why? Cao Xiaohui was confused.

"Check whether Zheng Tianzuo's right arm is really injured, if what Zheng Tianyou said is true, Zheng Tianzuo will not be able to hurt him with a knife, let alone commit murder with a knife, which means that Ning Shifeng lied to me!"

"Understood, I'll do it!"

"Do it in secret, preferably at night, and don't tell anyone the news," Nie Xiaohu instructed.

"Well, I know," Cao Xiaohui nodded.

Early the next morning, Zheng Tianzuo's autopsy results were placed in front of Nie Xiaohu's eyes, the deceased's right arm had been broken, and because there was no correct bandaging treatment, the upper and lower bones of the right arm were slightly misaligned, which basically belonged to the waste arm, not to mention holding objects, and it was very difficult to move.

Looking at the autopsy results in his hand, Nie Xiaohu fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Maozi, Xiao Liuzi, the three of you accompanied Cao Zhutou to the Pavilion Library, and found out all the cases that Ning Shifeng had handled, I will check them one by one, and find Jiang Zhongjie for me." ”

"Okay!" , Cao Xiaohui agreed, turned around and went out with the three of them.

Soon Jiang Zhongjie came to the hall, clasped his hands into fists and bowed: "Chief catcher, do you have anything to do with your subordinates?" ”

"Jiang Zhongjie, let me ask you, more than half a month ago, that is, the murder of Ning Shifeng's mother and her younger brother, have you been patrolling the streets with Ning Shifeng on the day of the crime?"

"That's it, I want to think about it", Jiang Zhongjie frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No, at first Ning Bantou and I were patrolling the same street, but then I don't know why, Ning Bantou suddenly came out from behind me and scared me.

I asked him why he came to patrol the street with me, he said that it was too cold, there were few people on the street, and he wanted to be my companion, and then we found two people arguing at the door of the Anyang Inn, so we went up to listen for a while, and then Ning Bantou said that he wanted to invite me to his house for a cup of hot tea, and when we walked near his house, it happened. ”

After hearing this, the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, I know, you go and get busy with yours!" After speaking, he waved his hand outward.

"Subordinates retire!" , Jiang Zhongjie hugged his fists, turned around and retreated.

Towards evening, Cao Xiaohui, Shi Yuning and others returned, and Cao Xiaohui held two books in her hands.

"Brother Hu, this is all the case records of Ning Shifeng in the past two years, they are all in it, but there are a lot!"

After Cao Xiaohui finished speaking, she handed the two books to Nie Xiaohu's hands.
