"I should have killed him in the first place!"

At the second watch of the night, Chang Yongyi sat on the wide Taishi chair in his pawnshop on the street, his eyes slightly closed, recalling the early morning ten years ago, the childish face and the eyes full of fear and despair were deeply imprinted in Chang Yongyi's mind.

"It's going to be over, it's all going to pass", Chang Yongyi thought of this, picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him and drank it all, lowered his head and stroked a small bow and crossbow made of stainless steel in his hand, with a knowing smile on his face, like stroking his lover's hand, and the three stainless steel short arrows glowed blue in the light of candlelight.

"Wait, wait until the third watch! How can you be so hungry, no matter what, wait until you're done to eat him well! Chang Yongyi lay down with his eyes closed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! There were three soft sounds from the silent street, Chang Yongyi opened his eyes suddenly, stood up with a breath, and flattened the bow and crossbow in his hand.

"It's time!"

Chang Yongyi quietly opened the back door, walked through the courtyard like a ghost, and gently pushed open the door of the two-story building in the main house.

As expected, the living room was empty, the corners of Chang Yongyi's mouth rose slightly, and he tiptoed up the stairs, in front of the door on the second floor, Chang Yongyi listened attentively, and there was a faint sound of a woman's moaning and a man's gasping in the room.

"Just in time!" , Chang Yongyi settled down, held the bow and crossbow flat, kicked open the door, and on the bed in the room, a man was lying on the body of a woman

"You dog men and women!" , Chang Yongyi shouted angrily, and three stainless steel short arrows instantly shot into the back of the man on the bed.

The woman on the bed was stunned by the sudden situation, and only after a half sound did she push away the corpse and sit up.

"Ahh ~~~~~", a woman's terrible scream pierced the silent night sky.

"You... Who are you! Chang Yongyi's eyes widened, and the bow and crossbow in his hand fell on the floor unconsciously.

"How can this be, no... Impossible! Chang Yongyi hurriedly turned around, went down the stairs in a panic, and rushed to the street.

The woman's screams had already alarmed the watchman, and a dense gong sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers on night patrol rushed over.

"Stop! What the hell! The leading soldiers saw the panicked Chang Yongyi at a glance, and with a "hula", more than ten people surrounded Chang Yongyi.

"I... I'm in a hurry," Chang Yongyi stammered.

"Murdered!" At this time, a disheveled woman ran out of the shop facing the street.

"That's him! He killed my husband! The woman pointed at Chang Yongyi with her finger and cried out......

"That's a madman!" , Shi Yuning pouted and said, "Obviously I broke into someone else's house at night to kill someone, and I insisted that it was in my own house, and I still said anything to catch the adulterer, it's really!" ”

According to Chang Yongyi's confession, he went out last night and returned late, and returned home at the third watch at night, but found that the thief broke into the house, and intended to rape his wife Liu, so he took a bow and crossbow, broke into the bedroom, and shot the thief on the bed on the spot, but he never thought that the woman on the bed was not his wife Liu, and what surprised him was that he was not in his own home, and he obviously returned to his home at the time of the third watch.

According to his wife Liu Meier, Chang Yongyi went out all night last night and did not return, she waited for him at home for one night, and everyone in the family could testify.

The man who was shot by Chang Yongyi was named Ma Dequan, his wife Xie, the young couple came here from other places to do business, only three days after coming to Luoning County, the courtyard on the street where they lived was rented, and the head of the household was named Shen Leyou, who opened a tavern in the south of the city and lived there all the year round, so he rented out the courtyard here.

At present, there are so many clues that Nie Xiaohu has, on the surface, this is a simple burglary and murder case, Chang Yongyi broke into the rented home of Ma Dequan and his wife late at night with a bow and crossbow and shot him, but what is the motive?

Ma Dequan and his wife have only been in Luoning County for three days, and they have no relatives here, and there are not even many people they know, let alone grudges with people, Chang Yongyi and they don't know each other, they have no grudges, and they just break in and kill people for no reason, which doesn't make sense.

If Chang Yongyi's confession is the truth, it is even more absurd and bizarre, the courtyard rented by Ma Dequan and his wife is two streets away from Chang Yongyi's house, if Chang Yongyi was drunk and walked to the wrong door last night, it is reasonable, but last night Chang Yongyi did not have any alcohol at all, how could he recognize the wrong door? According to Chang Yongyi's confession, the bow and crossbow used for killing people were taken from the cabinet of the shop facing the street at home, and if he went to the wrong door, where did the bow and crossbow come from?

Nie Xiaohu had been thinking about this matter all morning, and his head was so big that he still didn't have a clue. Seeing Nie Xiaohu's appearance like this, Shi Yuning and the others didn't alarm him, they all followed silently, and the atmosphere between the five of them seemed extremely dull for a while.

"Nie catches the head!" , A sweet voice rescued Nie Xiaohu from his troubled thoughts.

Nie Xiaohu looked up and saw a pretty girl standing in front of him.

"Is there something wrong with this girl?"

"Nie Zhutou, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Girl, please speak."

"What should I do if I run into a bad guy alone at night and want to insult me?" , the girl asked shyly.

Nie Xiaohu thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Then you will lift the skirt." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yuning and the others were startled, and the girl stayed on the spot.

"You... Do you mean to keep me submissive and out of harm? ”

Nie Xiaohu rolled his eyes, "If you lift your skirt, the man will take off his pants, you wait for him to take off halfway, turn around and run, he will definitely not be able to catch up with you!" ”

"I'll go!" , Shi Yuning and others immediately fell to the ground.

"Nie catches the head!" At this time, a young man dressed as a subordinate walked over.

"Nie Zhutou, I am a descendant of the Xue family's gold shop."

"Xue Family Gold Store?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, "That's one of the top traders in Luoning County." ”

"What, what's wrong?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Not really," said the young man, shaking his head, "it is so, my lord is seriously ill, and he will not be able to do so, and the doctor says that he will not last a few days, and the lord has left his last words, saying that he will be read in public by the shopkeeper three days after his death, and I ask you to come and witness it then." ”
