The sun and moon alternated, the morning light filled the sky, and it was another sunny morning.

"Report ~~~!"

Early the next morning, Nie Xiaohu had just sat down in the hall of the fast catching room, when a fast catcher hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?" , Nie Xiaohu instinctively felt that something was happening.

"Someone from Tianquan Village came to report that there was a murder in a house under the mountain outside the village, and a woman was killed in her house!"

"What about people?"

"It's right outside!"

"Bring it in!"

"Song Ziyuan? How are you? ”

As soon as he saw that the person who came was the gardener from the Yu family, Nie Xiaohu immediately became nervous, and Cao Xiaohui also frowned and looked at Song Ziyuan nervously.

"My lord! Check it out! In... Miss Yu, she ......", Song Ziyuan said breathlessly, his face panicked.

"Miss Yu, what's wrong with her?" , Nie Xiaohu stood up suddenly.

"She was killed last night!"

"Where!"

"Right in her own home!"

"What about Yu Huaitian?"

"Huaitian is fine, but he was frightened, I entrusted him to a family in Tianquan Village to take care of him!"

"Little stone!"

"Tiger Head!"

"You take the two brothers to Lingshui Village immediately, and take Feihong to Yu's house, the child can't be left unattended!"

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"

……

When Nie Xiaohu arrived at Yu's house, the gate of the courtyard was already full of people who came to see the excitement after hearing the news, and an old man who looked like a village chief was maintaining order at the gate of the courtyard, and no one entered the courtyard.

"Official, you are here, the villain's name is Yin Tianquan, and he is the village chief of Tianquan Village!" , the old man who maintained order greeted him and said.

"Hmm!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded and asked, "Has anyone ever been in?" ”

"Nope!" , Yin Tianquan shook his head.

"Good!" , Nie Xiaohu finished speaking and went straight into the courtyard.

In the corridor on the first floor, Nie Xiaohu saw a woman lying on the carpet, and when he got closer, it was Yu Feiyan who he had only seen yesterday, Yu Feiyan was facing up, her eyes were wide open, her left hand was clenched into a fist, and there was a dagger stuck between her chest and abdomen, her blood had coagulated and turned black, and she had obviously been dead for a while.

Yu Feiyan's chest and abdomen were covered with blood, and the blood flowed down her body to the carpet under her, and the blood stains on the carpet were deep and shallow in a straight line, extending from under the corpse to her feet, and the position of her feet was at the door of a room.

Nie Xiaohu glanced at the door where Yu Feiyan's feet were directly opposite, and his brows furrowed, "Isn't this the haunted room that Yu Huaitian said!" ”

Thinking of what Yu Huaitian said, although Nie Xiaohu didn't believe it, he still made up his mind, and then slowly pushed open the door.

There was no red bed, no ghost in red clothes and a white tongue sticking out in his mouth, what appeared in front of Nie Xiaohu's eyes was still the circle of closets against the wall that he saw yesterday, and the antiques in the closet were still neatly arranged, not like someone had touched them.

At this time, Song Ziyuan walked into the corridor with Yu Huaitian.

"Let the brothers carefully inspect the whole house, especially this one," Nie Xiaohu said to Cao Xiaohui.

"Hmm", Cao Xiaohui nodded, beckoned the people to start a search of the entire house.

"Uncle", Yu Huaitian looked at Nie Xiaohu with frightened eyes and whispered.

"Child", Nie Xiaohu squatted down, put his hands on Huaitian's shoulders, and said with concern: "Don't be afraid, there is an uncle, and the bad guys don't dare to come!" ”

"Hmm!" , Yu Huaitian nodded.

"Song Ziyuan, who found the body first?" , Nie Xiaohu stood up and asked with his eyes fixed on Song Ziyuan.

"It's him," Song Ziyuan patted Yu Huaitian on the shoulder and said, "I live in a small thatched hut in the north of Tianquan Village, which is very close to here, and I have taken Huaitian to it a few times.

In the middle of the night last night, around the ugly hour, suddenly someone banged on my door desperately, and shouted 'Uncle Song', I knew it was Huaitian as soon as I heard it, so I hurriedly opened the door, and when I saw that it was him, I asked him why he came to me in the middle of the night, and he cried and told me that his aunt was dead.

I was taken aback after hearing this, and hurriedly came here to see that what Huaitian said was true, so I took Huaitian to Tianquan Village, and entrusted him to my neighbor Li Damiang to take care of, and then went to the village chief to explain the situation, and then I went to the city on foot to report to the official, and I did not arrive until dawn. ”

"Why don't you ride a horse?"

"I... Where did I get my horse? Song Ziyuan lowered his head and muttered quietly.

"Are you from Tianquan Village?" , Nie Xiaohu asked, his eyes closely observing the changes in Song Ziyuan's expression.

"No", Song Ziyuan shook his head, "I came here from a foreign country, and I came here two years ago, because of my skills in planting flowers and grass, I did odd jobs at home and became a gardener."

The thatched hut I live in is also borrowed from my neighbor Aunt Li, Aunt Li is very good, I help her collect firewood, carry water or something on weekdays, she also exempted me from the house money, I lived here for a long time. ”

After hearing this, Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought about it, and then looked at Mao Guangjian and Liu Zhenxiao who were standing at the entrance of the corridor.

"Has the little rock arrived?" , Nie Xiaohu asked loudly.

"Not yet, Tiger Head!" Mao Guangjian replied, "It's not close to here from Lingshui Village, and it will take more than an hour to get there." ”

"My lord", Song Ziyuan said at this time, "If there is nothing to do with me, I will go back first, Aunt Li still has a few loads of water there to pick." ”

Nie Xiaohu looked at Song Ziyuan, then nodded and said, "You go, but don't leave Tianquan Village, otherwise you ......."

"I know that, sir!" , Song Ziyuan nodded, gently stroked Yu Huaitian's head, turned around and left quickly.

"Huaitian, tell uncle, what did you see last night?" , Nie Xiaohu asked softly, keeping a smile on his face.

"Ghost, that ghost killed my aunt!" , Yu Huaitian cried loudly, and his eyes became frightened again.
