Chapter 176: The Missing Corpse (5)
There was a yellow horse, and there was no one at all, and there was no saddle on its back, and it scurried into the yard as if no one was around, and with a snort from time to time, it went straight to the carriage which was parked on the left side of the house, and stopped.
"Isn't this rhubarb?" , Chen Yujian looked at the horse and blurted out.
"Do you know this horse?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.
"Of course I know, it's called rhubarb, it's the horse in my old carriage, just now I wondered why there was only a carriage, why was rhubarb gone!"
Nie Xiaohu nodded, walked to Rhubarb, touched the horse's head, and patted it on the smooth horse's back, it was the season for horses to change their moults, and Nie Xiaohu's hands were stained with a lot of yellow horse hair.
"It's really an old horse who knows the way!" , Nie Xiaohu blew the horsehair on his hand.
"Isn't it!" Chen Yujian nodded and said, "Horses are the most spiritual livestock." ”
Nie Xiaohu smiled and looked at Cao Xiaohui on the side: "Xiaohui, what do you think of this case?" ”
"I don't understand", Cao Xiaohui shook her head, "You first met Hu Dequan in the morning, followed him to the stone room in the backyard of the Ma family, and saw Ma Feiteng's body from the window of the stone room, which was killed with a dagger, and the stone room was locked from the house."
Later, when we arrived at the Majia stone room again, the bodies of Hu Dequan and Ma Feiteng were gone, and both of them appeared here again, and Hu Dequan was also killed, and both of them were killed at the same time. ”
Cao Xiaohui thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be that the Hood you saw in the morning was all pretended by the murderer?" He killed Hu Dequan here a long time ago, and then transferred Ma Feiteng's body here after you left?
That's not right! The results of the autopsy were that the two died almost at the same time, and the cause of death was that the head was cut off by a guillotine, and the horse, where did it go? Could it be that the murderer fled on it and then released it? And the dagger, which turned out to be red paint instead of blood! I'm so confused! ”
Cao Xiaohui shook her head helplessly, frowned and sighed softly.
"Actually, this case is not complicated at all", Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, "You'll understand later!" ”
"What? Brother Tiger, do you already know who the murderer is? ”
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed", Nie Xiaohu smiled mysteriously.
"My lord, you must catch the murderer and avenge my master!" , Chen Yujian's face also showed a happy smile.
After about half an hour, the two catchers came back with Fang Kangyang.
"Chief catcher, we have already interrogated the noodle restaurant, and he did eat noodles there around the clock!"
"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, squinting his eyes and looking at Fang Kangyang up and down carefully.
Fang Kangyang was a little hairy by Nie Xiaohu, standing there crying or laughing, his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Young Master Fang, how did you go back to the Ma family after eating noodles?"
"Go back to the adult, the villain is walking back, and there is nothing to do anyway, so he walks back while shopping."
Nie Xiaohu's color changed when he heard this, and two cold lights shot out of his eyes, staring at Fang Kangyang's body tightly.
At this time, Shi Yuning had already seen the clue, and hurriedly ran into the house and moved a chair out and placed it behind Nie Xiaohu.
"Tang Yibin!"
After the Pose was set, Nie Xiaohu began his opening remarks.
"As long as it's a crime, there will be loopholes, and all I do is find out the loopholes," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile as he tapped his fingers on his thighs.
"Fang Kangyang, now I'll tell you where your loopholes are", Xiaohu looked at Fang Kangyang mockingly.
Fang Kangyang's face changed, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"At first, this incident was just a joke played by Ma Feiteng and Master Ma, Ma Feiteng first locked himself in the stone room, and faked the scene where he was killed with a dagger, and then Hu Dequan went to find me and led me forward, wanting me to mistakenly think that Ma Feiteng was killed, and I was indeed deceived by them."
Speaking of this, Nie Xiaohu looked at Fang Kangyang coldly, "Am I right, Young Master Fang?" ”
Fang Kangyang didn't speak, he stood there with his head down, biting his lower lip stubbornly, while Cao Xiaohui looked confused.
Nie Xiaohu snorted coldly and continued: "At first, I was indeed deceived by Ma Feiteng and Hu Dequan, and I was entangled in how the murderer transferred the body in such a short period of time, until I saw Ma Feiteng's body and the felt wrapped in a dagger here, and I didn't understand what happened. ”
"Brother Tiger, then how exactly did he do this?" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but ask.
"There is no need for him to do anything at all", the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth raised slightly.
"Ma Feiteng first faked the scene of the murder, and during the time when I left Ma's house and returned to the fast room to call people, Ma Feiteng and Hu Dequan quickly sorted out the scene of the stone room, and went out of the courtyard through the back door, and came here in the carriage that had been prepared."
"Brother Tiger, how do you know?" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but ask again.
"Quite simply, the 'corpse' I saw in the morning was stabbed into the heart with a dagger and died, but the clothes worn by Ma Feiteng's corpse here were intact, and there was no blood on his chest, and the dagger was stained with red paint, isn't it obvious?
As for why they were able to clean up the stone chamber in a short time, it is also easy to explain, because they had poured a layer of felt on the floor of the stone chamber beforehand, and after I left, the two of them only had to roll up the felt and take it away, and there would be no trace left in the stone chamber. ”
"That's right!" , Cao Xiaohui shook her head as if deprecatingly.
Nie Xiaohu's right index finger and middle finger quickly clicked on his thigh a few times, and continued: "When the two of them got into the carriage, our Young Master Fang drove the carriage to quickly rush here, I think this is also part of their plan."
However, our Young Master Fang skillfully used this plan, he lit the incense in the carriage in advance, and when the carriage arrived here, Ma Feiteng and Hu Dequan must have both been stunned, he got the two of them into the house, and lay them side by side on the guillotine that had been prepared a long time ago.
When he lifted the guillotine, he tied a noose to the end of the rope attached to the small barrel, and put the noose on the handle of the guillotine, and then put the barrel around the beams of the house, and put a certain amount of water in the barrel, so that the guillotine, because it was pulled by the barrel, would not fall.
In order not to let the water in the barrel leak on the ground and attract our attention, he moved another tank to the bottom of the barrel, and after doing all this, he rode on the horse that pulled the cart, that is, Rhubarb, and rushed to the noodle shop in Renhe District as fast as he could, and when he reached the noodle shop, he let Rhubarb go, and he did so that he appeared there before the little barrel could not hold the guillotine, so that he would have a perfect alibi.
Everything went according to his plan, when he was eating noodles in Renhe, the water in the wooden barrel also leaked, and at this time, the guillotine fell, Ma Feiteng and Hu Dequan were also in different places, and the small wooden barrel was also thrown to the root of the wall by the falling guillotine, after which our Young Master Fang returned to the Ma family slowly, am I right, Young Master Fang? ”
"Young Master Fang, is it really you?" , Chen Yujian looked at Fang Kangyang with disbelief in his eyes.
"Chen... Steward Chen, you... Don't listen to him, he... He's guessing! Fang Kangyang was already in chaos at this time, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Guess?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Young Master Fang, may I ask what you have on your pants?" ”
"Huh?" , Fang Kangyang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked down.
"Just now I asked you how you got back to Ma's house, and you said you went back on foot, so where did the yellow horse hair on your pants come from!" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly shouted.
"It's... This one? I... I..."
After a few words, Fang Kangyang finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell to his knees with a "poof".
"Young Master Fang, what are you doing this for!" , Chen Yujian almost asked crying.
"Isn't it uncle!" After Fang Kangyang trembled for a while, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, with both crying and laughing in his voice.
"I heard that my uncle plans to donate all his family property to the White Horse Temple in a hundred years, and Brother Hu is still very supportive of him! Why! My brother and I are my uncle's only relatives, and the family property should be inherited by the two of us!
When my uncle heard that there was a Nie Shen Hunt recently, he came up with an idea and wanted to play a joke with him, so I ......"
