"This dagger is yours, isn't it?" , Nie Xiaohu took out a bloody dagger and handed it to Yan Tiangang's eyes.

Yan Tiangang looked down and nodded, "It's mine, but..."

"Take it away!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand.

With a "bang", Shi Yuning put the iron lock on Yan Tiangang's neck, dragged it up and walked out.

"I didn't kill my aunt, I was wronged!" , Yan Tiangang shouted while being dragged along.

"If you have anything to say, go to the yamen!" , Shi Ling stared and pulled Yan Tian out of the blacksmith shop without looking back.

"Master Shao, excuse me, farewell!" , Nie Xiaohu arched his hand at the shopkeeper and turned to leave.

At the moment of going out, Nie Xiaohu turned his head and glanced at the guy who was still pulling the bellows, and the corners of the man's eyes twitched significantly.

In the interrogation room of the fast room, Yan Tiangang sat on a bench in an orderly manner, the chains around his neck had been removed, and Nie Xiaohu sat on the chair opposite Yan Tiangang and began a routine interrogation.

"Name"

"Yan Tiangang"

"Age"

"Eighteen years old"

"What is your relationship with the deceased?"

"She's my aunt."

"Describe the situation in the deceased's home."

"My aunt's name is Yan Zhenzhen, she is sixty-four years old this year, my uncle passed away at an early age, and she is the only one left in the family, because there is no one at home, my aunt feels very lonely, I happen to be working in the nearby blacksmith shop, so I live in my aunt's house."

Nie Xiaohu nodded and continued to ask: "You tell me about the situation this morning, don't miss any details!" Nie Xiaohu accentuated his tone.

"Hmm", Yan Tiangang nodded vigorously and thought back carefully.

"I got up early in the morning, I had breakfast with my aunt, because Chen Zhicheng slept in the shop at night, and didn't come back to live, I went out to the blacksmith shop alone, and when it was almost noon, you came, and I knew that my aunt was killed, I was not a murderer, I was wronged!" After speaking, Yan Tiangang bent down with his head in his arms.

"Who is that Chen Zhicheng you just said?"

"He's a fellow countryman of mine, a fellow in the blacksmith we went into together, and he's very nice to me, and he's always helping me, and we talk about it every day."

"He also lives at your aunt's house?"

"Yes", Yan Tiangang nodded, and said: "The blacksmith shop is too small, the guy can only go out and find a place to live by himself, Chen Zhicheng has no money, and we are good friends, so I pleaded with my aunt and vacated a room for him to live." ”

"Then last night, Chen Zhicheng didn't go back to live?"

"Yes, that day he said that he wanted to ponder the skills taught by the master during the day, and he slept on the floor in the shop at night, so he didn't go back."

Nie Xiaohu nodded and asked, "Then did you see him at the blacksmith shop?" ”

"I saw it, because it was still early, it was still not bright, I opened the door and found that he was still asleep on the floor, and his breathing was still very short, I thought he was cold at night, fever, and cooked a bowl of ginger syrup for him to drink."

"What's going on with the jade pendant?"

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? Yan Tiangang asked blankly.

"I heard that your aunt has an ancestral antique jade pendant?"

"Oh, yes", Yan Tiangang nodded.

"The jade pendant is my family's ancestral, I heard that it is very valuable, I heard my father say that my aunt's family was poor when she got married, so she took the jade pendant as a dowry, and my aunt took it with her every day, but she never showed it to anyone, and never mentioned it to anyone, so others speculated that my aunt had such a jade pendant, but no one really knew."

"Bring it with you every day?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, my aunt told me that it was her most cherished thing, and she was afraid of losing it, so she carried it with her every day."

"Little stone, you go and examine the corpse carefully."

"Good!" , Shi Yuning agreed, turned around and went out.

"Think about it again, besides you, who else knows that your aunt has this jade pendant?"

"It should be gone", Yan Tiangang shook his head.

"What about Chen Zhicheng? Did you mention it to him? ”

"I want to think about it, by the way, I once mentioned it to Chen Zhicheng!"

Yan Tiangang seemed to think of something, and said: "A few days ago, Chen Zhicheng asked me, and he asked me if my aunt really had such a piece of jade pendant, because we are good friends, so I told him, and he also said that my aunt is stupid, guarding such valuable things to live a hard life, I said that my aunt is not poor, but she is simple and used to it, and she never spends money lavishly." ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, and then asked, "What's the matter with that dagger?" ”

"The dagger is indeed mine, but I lost it the day before yesterday, God knows how it became a murder weapon!" Yan Tiangang was so anxious that he burst into tears.

"Tiger head, I've checked it all over, no", at this time, Shi Yuning came back, shook his head and said.

Nie Xiaohu nodded and said, "Take him down, treat him well, don't wronged him." ”

"Got it, Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning took Yan Tiangang out.

Nie Xiaohu sat there, holding his chin with his hand, thinking hard.

"If it was really Yan Tiangang's doing, wouldn't it be too stupid to leave the murder weapon engraved with his name engraved on it at the scene? And where did that jade pendant go? If it is really as Yan Tiangang said, the old lady of Yu Peiyan carries it with her every day, but she can't find it on the corpse, then the motive for killing is obvious, to kill for money. ”

"If the motive for the murder is determined, the direction of finding the murderer will be clear!" , Nie Xiaohu showed a shallow smile and continued to think.

"Murder for money, wealth for money, there is no trace of the deceased's home being turned, only the jade pendant on the body is missing, that is to say, the murderer clearly knows that the jade pendant is on Mrs. Yan's body, so only Yan Tiangang and Chen Zhicheng know that the deceased has a jade pendant."
