Chapter 38: The Key (4)

Nie Xiaohu saw that the word "Han Wei" was indeed written, and the time was two months ago.

"Do you fill in your own name when you register as guests?"

"Yes, we never ask for the names of our guests because that's rude." , the shopkeeper nodded in reply.

Xiaohu took out the note and carefully checked the handwriting, and the results were completely consistent, it was indeed written by Han Wei himself.

"That's weird, if the murderer is someone else, then how should this note be explained?" , Xiaohu shook his head, his brows twisted into a pimple.

Back in his room, Nie Xiaohu lay on the bed tossing and turning, his heart full of doubts: "If it is said that Zheng Tianjiao is cheating with Han Wei, it really doesn't make sense, one is a high-ranking lady, and the other is a little gangster who is spurned by everyone, even if the two have something, then why did Zheng Tianjiao come to the inn early in the morning, and Han Wei came twice at noon and in the evening?"

If it is said that the murderer is someone else, then this note was written by Han Wei himself, how to explain it? ”

Thinking about these questions, Nie Xiaohu took out the key on Han Wei's body again.

"Maybe it's the key to Han Wei's house, right? Let's go to Han Wei's house tomorrow and talk about it", Xiaohu thought to himself.

"Still thinking about this case? Sleep quickly, you can solve the case when you have enough energy! Tang Yibin said in a daze.

"Hmmm! Let's go to Zheng's house tomorrow and see if we can find some valuable clues", Xiaohu yawned.

In the early morning of the next day, Nie Xiaohu took Tang Yibin and the four to the Zheng family compound, and the housekeeper Zheng Tianjun was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Xiaohu and the others coming, he hurriedly took them to the living room.

"Nie Zhutou, can you find something?" As soon as Zheng Jingtao saw Xiaohu, he asked, his face was full of sadness, as if he had aged a lot overnight.

"Found a clue," Xiaohu said, sitting down.

"Oh?" , Zheng Jingtao's eyes seemed to light up, "Is there any news of the murderer?" ”

"It's still too early, we just found out that Han Wei didn't jump off the building and commit suicide, but was knocked unconscious and pushed down from the roof."

"Does that mean the murderer is there?" , Zheng Jingtao was in good spirits.

"That's for sure," Xiaohu nodded.

"That's good, so that the little girl's reputation has finally been preserved."

Xiaohu nodded slightly and said, "Old Man Zheng, I want to ask Ling Ai's personal maid to see if there are any valuable clues." ”

"Come on, call Xiaowen over!" , Zheng Jingtao said immediately.

At this moment, a handsome young man walked in from outside the door, this person came to the living room, bowed to Zheng Jingtao, and said, "Uncle"

"Oh, it's Yanlai, sit down!" , Zheng Jingtao waved his hand.

The young man bowed slightly, and sat down slowly opposite the next Xiaohu and the others, at this time, a maidservant girl served fragrant tea, this person picked up the teacup with his left hand, and took a sip gently, Nie Xiaohu looked at this person, his eyes suddenly tightened, and then relaxed again.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is my nephew, Hua Yanlai." , Zheng Jingtao pointed to this handsome young man and said to Xiaohu and others.

Hua Yanlai smiled at Xiaohu and the others, and bowed a little.

Then Zheng Jingtao introduced Xiaohu to Huayan.

"Yan Lai, I heard that you went out early in the morning, but what's the matter?" , Zheng Jingtao asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just upset, so I'm out for a walk."

"Oh", Zheng Jingtao nodded, and then asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Uncle, I am very sad about my cousin, I wanted to stay longer, so that I could accompany my uncle, but my nephew received a letter from home, saying that he had told me about my family and wanted me to rush back as soon as possible, so I came to bid you farewell."

"Oh, that's it", Zheng Jingtao frowned slightly, and then asked, "I don't know which girl you're talking about?" ”

"It's the daughter of Luoyang Li County's order", Hua Yanlai replied tepidly.

Zheng Jingtao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "This is a good thing."

Zheng Jingtao thought for a moment, and then said; "Your cousin Tianjiao has just encountered an accident, and there are a lot of trivial matters at home, so let's do it, I'll send someone to send you back in three days."

"Thank you, uncle", Hua Yan bowed his hand.

"Master, Xiaowen brought".

"Let her in."

"Yes!"

I saw the maid Xiaowen reluctantly walked into the living room and knelt on the ground, "I've seen the master, I've seen the young master, I've seen the officials." ”

"Xiaowen, Nie Zhutou has something to ask you, you have to answer truthfully, if there is half a sentence to hide!"

"Slaves don't dare!" , Xiaowen hurriedly said.

"Uncle, I'll avoid it", Hua Yan was about to get up as she spoke.

"It's okay, let's listen to it together", Zheng Jingtao stretched out his hand and motioned for Hua Yan to sit down.

Hua Yanlai nodded slightly and sat back slowly.

"Xiaowen, let me ask you, when did your young lady go out yesterday?" , Xiaohu asked.

"Miss went out early yesterday morning."

"Where did you go? Why didn't I take you with me? ”

"Miss didn't say, and she didn't let me follow, I asked, and Miss lost her temper, so I didn't dare to ask again." After Xiaowen finished speaking, she lowered her head.

Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Did your young lady come in with any unusual behavior?" ”

Xiaowen frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Like being happy for no reason, or angry or something?"

Xiaowen still shook her head.

"Have you ever been in contact with strangers?"

Xiaowen frowned, thought about it carefully, shook her head gently, and said: "Miss is at home on weekdays, and the slave maid follows her, and occasionally goes out for a walk, and she is accompanied by the slave and maid, and has no contact with strangers. ”

After hearing this, Xiaohu couldn't help frowning.

"Oh, yes!" , Xiaowen seemed to remember something.

Xiaohu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Miss received a letter the evening before yesterday."
