Chapter 172: The Missing Corpse (1)

In the middle of June, it is the season of high temperatures and scorching heat, and the sun seems to be very excited, and before the end of the day, it rises into the sky, and it is full of enthusiasm.

"How about it, brothers, can you still sleep?" , Nie Xiaohu got up early, came to the door of Tang Yibin and the others and shouted loudly.

"Tiger Boss, what's wrong?" , Shi Yuning's lazy voice came from inside the house, and when I heard it, I knew that I hadn't gotten up yet.

"How fresh the air is in the morning, let's go out for a walk!"

"Don't go! I haven't slept enough! Tang Yibin muttered.

"Don't pull it down, I'll do it myself!" , Nie Xiaohu snorted, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the fast room.

"You're Lord Nie God Hunting, right?"

As soon as Nie Xiaohu went out, he was stopped by a young man.

"It's me", Nie Xiaohu nodded, frowning and looking at this person.

"The villain's name is Hu Dequan, and he has seen adults!" , Hu Dequan hurriedly bowed to Nie Xiaohu.

"It's early in the morning, what do you have to do with me?"

"That's right, my uncle has been in trouble recently, and I want you to come over for a while, and he wants to talk to you about it."

"Why didn't your uncle come to me, but let me go?" , Nie Xiaohu's tone was obviously unhappy.

"Don't blame my lords", Hood arched his hand, "It's not that my uncle doesn't want to come, but he doesn't dare to come." ”

"Don't dare to come?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Here's the thing, my uncle's name is Ma Feiteng, and he is the largest cloth merchant in the Nanshi area.

Just yesterday, my uncle suddenly received a letter, the letter only wrote a few words, 'take your dog's life in three days', and there was no signature, my uncle was more timid, I don't know which enemy came to the door, so he stayed at home, and locked himself in a secret room in the backyard of the house, locked the door from the inside, went out to eat, and did not come out at any time, saying that he would wait until three days later.

Isn't this tomorrow the third day, my uncle is really a little scared, for fear that the enemy will come to the door, so let me come and invite you over, my lord, look? ”

"And such a thing?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" , Hu Dequan had a smile on his face, and he snorted at Nie Xiaohu.

"My lord, please come with me!"

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the two stopped in front of a large mansion on the side of Nanshi Street.

"It's here, my lord, please come in!" , Hu Dequan pushed open the courtyard door, bowed down and made a gesture to invite in.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, stepped into the courtyard, and under the guidance of Hu Dequan, Nie Xiaohu bypassed the front hall, arrived at the backyard, and stopped in front of a stone house in the corner of the backyard.

Nie Xiaohu took a general look at the house, the whole house was made of square stones, the door was closed, and there was a small square window above the left side of the door, and on the window were five thumb-thick iron bars, and the interval between the iron bars was only a fist wide.

"Uncle, Nie Shen has been arrested!" , Hood said loudly to the door.

There was no movement in the house, Hu Dequan 'huh', and shouted twice in succession, but there was still no response in the room.

"Could it be that you are asleep?" Hood muttered quietly, found a small square table in the courtyard, placed it under the window, and then stood on the square table, holding the iron bar on the window, and looked in.

"Ahh

As soon as Hu Dequan glanced inside, he immediately screamed loudly, as if frightened, his legs went limp, and he fell off the square table.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" , Nie Xiaohu was shocked.

"Li... Inside...", Hood struggled to get up, but as soon as he got up, he sat back down, holding the neck of his right foot with both hands, and his face showed a look of pain.

Nie Xiaohu ignored him anymore, and immediately jumped on the square table, and looked into the house through the iron bar, there was a wooden bed in the room, and under the window was a table, an old man was lying on his back on the ground, with a large pool of blood on his chest and the ground, and there was a dagger stained with blood on the ground next to the corpse.

Nie Xiaohu didn't hesitate, immediately jumped off the table, came to the door, raised his leg is a kick, kicked more than a dozen feet one after another, and the stone door did not move at all.

"How are you?" , Nie Xiaohu asked Hu Dequan, who was sitting on the ground.

"I'm fine, it's just that my foot is broken," Hood said through gritted teeth.

"You stay here, don't go anywhere, I'll call someone!" After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.

That is, half an hour later, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui, Tang Yibin and others returned to the gate of Majiayuan, followed by more than a dozen fast catchers.

As soon as Nie Xiaohu pushed open the courtyard door, a middle-aged man came out of the front hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who are you?" , The middle-aged man asked with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you?" , Nie Xiaohu looked this person up and down.

"The villain Chen Yujian is the housekeeper here."

"Go to the backyard secret room!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and walked to the backyard first.

"My lord, is something wrong?" Chen Yujian followed closely behind Zhong Hunt, with a puzzled expression on his face.

When he came to the door of the stone room in the backyard, Nie Xiaohu looked around, but did not see Hu Dequan's figure, Nie Xiaohu's brows furrowed, and he didn't think much about it, and pointed to the stone door of the stone room with his hand.

"Crash it off!"

Immediately, four catchers carried a large wooden stake and slammed it into the stone gate, "Bah! With a bang, the stone door opened, and it didn't seem to take much effort.

"The door is unlocked!" , Nie Xiaohu's face sank, and he stepped into the house.

There was nothing in the room except a wooden bed and a table, the floor was clean, and the decorations on the table were also in good order.

"The corpse is gone!"

Nie Xiaohu looked around, his brows tightly twisted into a pimple.

"Brother Tiger, what's going on?" , Cao Xiaohui asked suspiciously.
