Chapter 153: The Raven's Curse (6)
"What did you do?"
"The master of the family asked me to go to his brother and ask He Chenze to bring a letter, saying that he had something to do temporarily, and he would come to see him later."
"Have you ever brought the words?"
"Brought it", Zhou Yonggang nodded, "The man also wrote a letter for me to bring to the master, and the master burned the letter after reading it, and wrote a reply letter for me to send over." ”
"Official, what I said is the truth, right?" , He Chenhui said cautiously on the side.
Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, noncommittal.
"You don't mind if we go inside and have a look, do you?"
"Please! Please feel free to take a look! He Chenhui said busily.
Nie Xiaohu waved his hand, Tang Yibin and Liu Zhenxiao understood, and walked quickly into the house.
He Chenhui and Pan Shi glanced at each other, both of them looking a little overwhelmed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Yibin and Liu Zhenxiao walked out of the house, Liu Zhenxiao holding a brick-sized stone in his hand.
"Tiger head, look!" , Liu Zhenxiao handed the stone to Nie Xiaohu's hand, "This was found from under the bed in the bedroom." ”
Nie Xiaohu took the stone and looked at it, there was a lot of blood stains on the stone, Nie Xiaohu checked the stone, and looked at He Chenhui who was standing on the side with cold eyes.
He Chenhui was confused, and the muscles on Pan's face twitched slightly, seemingly expressionless, giving people a feeling that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh; Zhou Yonggang stood there, his hands hanging down, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"He Chenhui, didn't you say that your brother wrote you a letter?"
"Yes! Yes! He Chenhui nodded vigorously.
"Wherever the letter is, show it to me!"
"I'll go get it!" After He Chenhui finished speaking, he walked a few steps into the house, and walked out after a while, holding a few letters in his hand.
"It's all here, sir, please take a look!" , He Chenhui bowed over and handed the letter to Nie Xiaohu with both hands.
Nie Xiaohu read them one by one, there were four letters in total, three of which were ordinary family letters, and there was nothing worth noting, except for the last one, which was the last letter written by He Chenze after he decided to come back, which attracted Nie Xiaohu's attention.
The letter was very short, with only a few lines: "Brother Chenhui, I am homesick for my brother, and I am scheduled to leave for home in three days, and my brother will be reunited soon, and I am very happy." As for the murder of my brother five years ago, I should pay two taels of silver for the cost of sealing my mouth, but you must not ask too much, and your brother will never succumb to those who are too greedy. Brother Chen Ze. ”
"It seems that He Chenhui is not false in extorting money from his brother", Nie Xiaohu thought to himself, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
At this moment, Shi Yuning and Mao Guangjian came back with one person, Mao Guangjian and the man stood outside the crowd, and Shi Yuning separated everyone and came to Nie Xiaohu's side.
"Tiger head ......", Shi Lu whispered a few words in Nie Xiaohu's ear.
Nie Xiaohu was happy after hearing this, and then looked around.
"Tiger Head, the chair is here!" , this time it was Liu Zhenxiao who was in a hurry, and moved a chair from the house and put it beside 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.
"Zhou Yonggang, now I'll tell you where your loopholes are", Xiaohu looked at Zhou Yonggang mockingly.
"Huh?" , He Chenhui couldn't help but let out a sound, and looked at Zhou Yonggang blankly, "How could it be him?" ”
Zhou Yonggang stood in place, without the slightest reaction, but his eyes suddenly became much colder.
"First of all, the letter you burned was not written by He Chenze, but forged by him, with the purpose of deceiving your reply and using it to frame you", Nie Xiaohu smiled coldly.
"Frame me?" , He Chenhui pointed to his nose with his finger, and his mouth opened widely.
"That's right!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded, "He first forged a letter and asked you to reply and burn the original letter, the purpose was to deceive your handwritten reply and destroy the evidence, and you also cooperated very well to help him achieve his goal."
Then he went back to the inn, and lied to He Chenze that it was you who asked him to meet under the stone tower today, and when He Chenze went according to the appointment, he hid in the dark, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to knock him to death with a stone, using this stone. ”
Nie Xiaohu swept the bloody stone in his hand, and squinted at Zhou Yonggang, who stood there with his mouth pursed, staring at the ground without saying a word.
Nie Xiaohu sneered, and then said: "Then he carried He Chenze's body to the top of the tower and made a small mechanism, so you can see He Chenze as if he committed suicide by jumping off the tower." ”
"Organs?" , He Chenhui's eyes were full of question marks.
"Yes, trap!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"He first carved a small square hole in the center of the platform at the top of the tower, and then passed a thin strong wire through the sides of the corpse's chest, so that the corpse would stand on the edge of the stone tower without falling, which is why you see the figure at the top of the tower leaning forward slightly.
He then tied a small stick to each end of the rope and stuck it in the small square hole, so that the body was stopped, and he found an additional small stone, tied a thin rope to the stone, and tied the other end of the rope to the rope that held the corpse, and then put the stone on the outside of the stone tower, and the whole mechanism was ready.
So how can you make it possible to trigger a mechanism to make the corpse fall off the tower while others are not at the scene? ”
Nie Xiaohu's index and middle fingers of his right hand quickly clicked on his thigh a few times, and continued: "This requires the help of the power of the crow. ”
"Crows?" , Everyone present was a little stunned, but Zhou Yonggang lowered his head without saying a word, his hands were clenched tightly, and he saw sweat on his forehead.
Nie Xiaohu was happy, "He is very smart, he knows that crows like to eat the rotting corpses of small animals, so he found the rotting corpse of a black puppy, and carefully placed the corpse of the puppy on the small hole with the wooden stick stuck in it."
As you know, crows are all in groups, when the crows find the corpse of the puppy at the top of the tower, of course, they will gather together to enjoy a good meal, at this time, as long as a crow touches the rope that pulls He Chenze's body, the corpse will naturally fall, and the rope will also be taken down by the small stone on the other side of the stone tower, so as to take the evidence away, the matter is as simple as that. ”
"Oh~~! No wonder when I went to the stone tower this morning, I saw a flock of crows landing on the top of the stone tower! He Chenhui nodded suddenly in realization.
"And in order to frame you, he also deliberately brought back this murder weapon and hid it under your bed, but he didn't know that being smart was mistaken by being smart, if it was really the person you killed, you would never have done it all and ran back and forth between the time and the time!"
"Zhou Yonggang, is it really you?!" , He Chenhui pointed at Zhou Yonggang with his finger, and his body trembled a little.
"It's... This is all his conjecture, prove... What about the evidence? Zhou Yonggang retorted in a low voice, not even daring to raise his head.
"Is the evidence?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled coldly.
"Smack!" With a bang, a small stone with three strings tied to it was thrown at Zhou Yonggang's feet, two of which had a small wooden stick tied to the end of each of them.
"You found it under the stone tower, do you recognize it?"
"It's... What does this mean? ”
"Good! This doesn't mean anything", Nie Xiaohu Yile, "Little Maozi! ”
"Here we go!" , Mao Guangjian happily walked in with an old man.
Zhou Yonggang glanced at the old man, and his whole body was obviously shocked.
"Uncle Wang, tell me about it!" , Mao Guangjian said.
"Yes, sir!" , the old man bowed his body.
"Yesterday afternoon, I was strolling around the village, and I saw a black dead dog in the ditch at the head of the village, all of which began to rot and emit a foul smell, so I thought about digging a pit and burying it, and when I wanted to find a hoe, he came", the old man pointed to Zhou Yonggang.
"He said he didn't need me to bother, he wanted the dead dog to be useful, and he took the dead dog away in a sack, and I was still very puzzled at the time, what he wanted the dead dog to do, it stinked, and it couldn't be eaten."
"Okay, uncle, I know, thank you!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"Where, where, as it should be!" The old man coughed twice and turned to leave.
"Now, Zhou Yonggang, can you tell me where that dead dog is?"
"This?" , Zhou Yonggang trembled.
"Still don't admit it?" , Nie Xiaohu's eyes lit up.
"Little stone!"
"Tiger Head!"
"Was he drying clothes in the backyard just now?"
"Yes!"
"Presumably he washed the clothes he wore when he killed when he came back and brought them to me! It's a garment with a defect in the back of the neck! ”
"Oh yes!" , Shi Yuning strode to the backyard.
"Zhou Yonggang, I'm afraid you didn't expect it, He Chenze was not knocked to death by you with a stone at that time, but was dying, when you carried him up to the tower, He Chenze secretly bit off a piece of your clothes, hum!"
Nie Xiaohu sneered, took out a piece of black fabric, and shook it in front of Zhou Yonggang's eyes.
Zhou Yonggang was completely collapsed at this time, and the whole person trembled and knelt down.
"But... But what is he doing it for? He Chenhui asked loudly.
"As for the reason", Nie Xiaohu thought for a while, "I think it's nothing more than that..."
As he spoke, Nie Xiaohu glanced at Pan's family, Pan's face was already sallow, and he was trembling all over, and when he saw Nie Xiaohu looking at her, the whole person sighed and fainted on the ground......
