"Yes, sir!" , Li Jialiang picked up the pen, wrote his name on the paper seriously, and handed the paper to Nie Xiaohu after writing.

Nie Xiaohu took the paper and compared it with the names on the IOU, the handwriting of the two names was almost identical, and Nie Xiaohu couldn't help frowning.

If the IOU is true, it is impossible for Li Jialiang to write his name according to the original handwriting, and a fool knows how to change his handwriting. If it is fake, how can it be exposed? ”

Nie Xiaohu took two pieces of paper and fell into contemplation, that is, a pillar of incense or so, and the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth raised slightly.

"Han Dongliang, Gai Haitao, what are you all doing?"

"If you go back to the official, the villain is a showman, and he makes a living by writing and painting for others on weekdays", Han Dongliang said.

"The villain is a vegetable seller", Gai Haitao bowed.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Were you all present when the IOU was written?" ”

"Yes, yes, we saw the IOUs they wrote with our own eyes," the two hurriedly said.

"They talk nonsense, it's just nothing!" , Li Jialiang shouted loudly.

Wang Fugui showed a satisfied smile on the side.

"Xiaoshi, you give each of the three of them a pen and a piece of paper", Nie Xiaohu ignored it and said lightly.

"Yes, Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning agreed, and soon three pieces of paper and three brushes dipped in ink were placed in front of Wang Fugui, Han Dongliang and Gai Haitao.

The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and then looked down at the pen and paper in front of them, all of them were puzzled, I don't know what Nie Xiaohu's intention is.

"The three of you are separated from each other, and no one is allowed to speak, and no one is allowed to look at anyone!" , Nie Xiaohu said in a deep voice.

Shi Yuning and the others immediately separated the three of them and stood in a triangle, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in the eyes of the three of them.

"When Li Jialiang borrowed money, was it morning, noon or evening, and the sixty taels he borrowed were ten taels or five taels and one ingots, or fifty taels plus ten taels? You all write it down on paper! ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled sarcastically, and suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "If the three of you can't write it correctly, hum!" ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned, and the pen in their hands trembled involuntarily, and none of them put down the pen, and the faces of the three showed complicated expressions.

With a "poof", Gai Haitao suddenly threw away the brush in his hand and fell to the ground on his knees.

"The villain knows that he is wrong, please punish the official!" , and kept kowtowing after speaking.

"Poof, poof!" , Han Dongliang and Wang Fugui also knelt down one after another.

"The idea was Wang Fugui's idea, and the handwriting was imitated by me, and he said that after the matter is completed, we will divide the account fifty-fifty, twenty taels per person, please punish the official!" , Han Dongliang also stopped kowtowing.

"I... I'm not human, I'm... I'm a brute! Wang Fugui slapped himself as he spoke.

"I see that Li Jialiang's business is better than mine, so I came up with this idea of lack of morality, and ask the official to punish him!" , Wang Fugui almost lay on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"I should have convicted the three of you of false accusations, but seeing that you sincerely admit your mistakes, I fined each of you ten taels of silver and handed it over to Li Jialiang, and the matter will be stopped from now on, are you willing?"

"Yes, yes!"

The three of them hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, "Thank you for the punishment, we will never dare in the future, we must be honest and do our duty!" ”

"Official, the matter is clear, just return my innocence, as for the silver, forget it!" , Li Jialiang looked a little embarrassed.

"How's that going to work? This is the price they pay for their actions! Nie Xiaohu pulled his face, "The three of you will go back and get the money now, and you will be back within half an hour!" ”

"Yes, yes!" , the three of them hurriedly stood up and trotted out of the fast room.

Just as everyone was waiting for the three of them to come back, a teenager suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Nie, Nie Shen Catch", the young man said breathlessly, "No, it's not good, Wanbaoge is dead!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Nie Xiaohu stood up with a "whew", and Tang Yibin and the others also stood up nervously.

"Let's go, go to Wanbao Pavilion!" After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he walked out of the fast room, and Tang Yibin and the others followed closely.

"Wait, wait for me!" The boy gasped and staggered behind.

"Nie Shenzhuo, go out?" , Wang Fugui and the three of them stood at the door of the fast catching room, looking at Nie Xiaohu who almost rushed out suspiciously.

Nie Xiaohu didn't even look at them, and ran in the direction of Wanbao Pavilion, followed closely by the four catchers, and a young man who covered his chest with his hand and kept panting, looking like he was about to die.

In the Wanbao Pavilion, at the corner of the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor, a middle-aged man was lying face down on the floor, the blood flowing from his head had coagulated, and his body was cold.

Nie Xiaohu carefully inspected the entire Wanbao Pavilion, but the results of the survey made him feel a little surprised, the furnishings in the building were in order, the upstairs and downstairs were cleaned cleanly, there was no trace of a fight, the doors and windows were not pried, and the corpse did not have any scars except for the head injury, and the first impression at the scene was that the deceased accidentally fell down the stairs when going downstairs, so that he hit the head and died.

Just when Nie Xiaohu finished investigating the scene and was still pondering, the young man who reported the crime returned to Wanbao Pavilion half-dead.

After the young man rested for a while and his breathing gradually stabilized, Nie Xiaohu asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Nie Shenzhu, the villain's name is Gao Tianshun, and he is a guy in Wanbao Pavilion."

"Did you find the body?"

"Yes, I came to the store to clean the room this morning, but when I came to the door of the store, I found that the door was not locked, and the door was hidden, which scared me, I hurried into the house to see if I had lost anything, but I found that Boss Chu he..., I hurried to find you."

"You said the door was open when you came this morning?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly.

"Yes!" , Gao Tianshun nodded with great certainty.

"When did you leave Wanbao Pavilion last night, and who else was there in the building besides Boss Chu when you left?"
