Chapter 54: The Broken Vase (4)

"In other words, the murderer must be one of the two!" , Nie Xiaohu's eyes showed a glint of excitement.

"Let's analyze Chen Zhicheng again, first, he has been living in Mrs. Yan's house, and it is absolutely convenient to enter and exit, if he commits murder, Mrs. Yan will not be guarded; Second, this Chen Zhicheng has been with Yan Tiangang for a long time, and it is easy to steal his dagger; Third, Chen Zhicheng happened not to go back to live last night, which is too much of a coincidence, right? The blacksmith shop is only two quarters of an hour away from Mrs. Yan's house according to the footsteps of ordinary people, if Chen Zhicheng runs with all his strength, he can run to it with a meal, and Yan Tiangang said that this morning, when he arrived at the blacksmith shop, he found that Chen Zhicheng was still sleeping, but he was short of breath, which can be understood as being sick or caused by fast running. ”

"Well, this Chen Zhicheng has a major suspicion, both the time and the motive for committing the crime!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled with satisfaction, but then frowned again.

"But what about the evidence? Without evidence, everything is in vain! Nie Xiaohu pursed his lips, recalling all the clues he had so far over and over again.

After thinking hard for a long time, Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shouted loudly: "Little stone, bring Yan Tiangang here!" ”

After Yan Tian just sat down, Nie Xiaohu said with a smile: "I have something to ask you......

The next morning, as soon as the Shao Kee blacksmith shop opened, a servant walked in.

"May I ask who is Chen Zhicheng?" , the official asked politely.

Chen Zhicheng, who was preparing to light a fire, was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then said: "I am, is there something wrong with this big brother looking for me?" ”

The shopkeeper, Master Shao, also stopped what he was doing and looked at the servant with a puzzled look.

"Oh, that's right, we have an invitation to ask you for help." , the official said with a smile.

"I don't know what Nie Shen is looking for me? How can my little fellow help? ”

"I don't know about this, Nie Zhutou only told me to invite you, and didn't say anything else."

"Oh", Chen Zhicheng nodded, seeming to hesitate.

"Oh, that's it", when Master Shao heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Since it is Nie Shenzhu who wants your help with something, you can go for a trip, this is your glory!" ”

"Yes, master", Chen Zhicheng agreed, and slowly stood up.

"Then come with me, Nie Zhutou is busy with business, and I can't afford to delay it!" , the official kept a smile on his face.

In the fast capture room, Nie Xiaohu sat on a chair and looked at Chen Zhicheng with a smile.

"Under Chen Zhicheng, I've seen Nie Shenzhuo!" , Chen Zhicheng bowed to Nie Xiaohu to the ground.

"No courtesy, please take a seat!" , Nie Xiaohu was full of smiles.

"Thank you!" , Chen Zhicheng sat down gently, with a sincere look of fear.

"I don't know if Nie Shenzhu called me, what do you need to do?" , Chen Zhicheng asked.

"Oh, that's right, do you remember Old Madam Yan?"

Wang Jianfeng frowned, his body was imperceptible, his eyes rolled, and he said softly, "Remember." ”

"Hmm"

Nie Xiaohu nodded and said, "Since the murder of Old Madam Yan, when I was counting and registering her family's belongings, I encountered an annoying thing that made me very embarrassed. When I was counting Mrs. Yan's belongings, I found that there was a jade vase, which was very exquisite and very expensive, but unfortunately a small piece of the bottle was missing.

Just yesterday, a person came, saying that the jade vase was his, he borrowed money from Mrs. Yan two years ago, and used this vase as a mortgage, and now he came to repay the money, but he saw that the bottle mouth was broken, not that we broke it, and asked us to compensate, I am now very embarrassed, whether it was originally mutilated, or Mrs. Yan was killed when it was broken, I can't figure it out, it's really a headache. ", Nie Xiaohu shook his head and said.

"Is there anything I need to do?" When Chen Zhicheng heard this, his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

"You lived in Old Madam Yan's house before she was killed, you must have seen this jade vase, right?"

As Nie Xiaohu spoke, he glanced at Shi Yuning, who immediately took the jade vase and put it in front of Chen Zhicheng.

"This vase is placed in the living room on the first floor of Mrs. Yan's house, do you remember whether it is intact or broken? If there is a defect, then please bear witness to it, so that you don't have to compensate the greedy guy. Nie Xiaohu smiled all over his face.

Chen Zhicheng frowned and thought for a while, then smiled, and said: "I have seen this vase since I lived in it, because it is indeed very exquisite, so I have specially observed, I'm sorry, Nie Shenzhuo, it was indeed intact at the time, it is estimated that Mrs. Yan fell to the ground when she was killed, and I really can't help it." ”

"Oh, that's right, don't you think about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it, Nie Shenzhuo, I'm very impressed, I can't be wrong", Chen Zhicheng said with great certainty.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded and stood up.

Chen Zhicheng also stood up, bowed to the ground at Nie Xiaohu, and said, "If Nie Shenzhu has nothing else to do, he will leave next." ”

"Someone!" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly sank his face, "Take it down for me!" ”

Before the words fell, Shi Yuning, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't say a word, and with a "bang", the chain was put on Chen Zhicheng's neck.

"Nie Shenzhuo, why is this?" , Chen Zhicheng asked in horror.

"Humph!" , Nie Xiaohu snorted coldly, "This vase was bought in Wanbao Pavilion the day before Mrs. Yan was killed, and it was only a day before she was killed at home, you have been staying in the blacksmith shop since the night before yesterday, when have you seen it!?" ”

"This?" , Chen Zhicheng was speechless for a moment, unable to speak, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Smack!" With a bang, Nie Xiaohu slammed the table, "How did you kill Old Madam Yan?" Where is the jade pendant hidden? It's not really recruited! ”

"Say!"

Liu Zhenxiao shook the leather whip in his hand on the side, and Mao Guangjian also opened and closed the tongs in his hand back and forth twice.

Where has Chen Zhicheng seen such a scene, he immediately knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and said: "I confess, I confess!" ”
