Chapter 316: The Cockroach Trampled to Death (3)

"Are you Hu Mingquan?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at him and asked.

"Back to my lord!" , Hu Mingquan hurriedly bowed to Nie Xiaohu and bowed, "The villain is Hu Mingquan." ”

When Nie Xiaohu told him what had happened, Hu Mingquan's reaction was almost the same as that of Hong Jincheng, kneeling on the ground and grief-stricken.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, Nie Xiaohu said: "Get up, I still have something to ask you!" ”

"Yes, sir!" , the two agreed, wiped the tears from their faces and stood up.

"After dinner here yesterday, did you two go together?"

"Go back to your lordship, it's a walk together."

Hong Jincheng said with a sad face: "At first, I went out with Senior Brother Hu, and then when I walked to the street, Senior Brother Hu said that I wanted to buy something, so I went back first. ”

"I went to buy a dress, and I saw that the sky was about to get hot", seeing that Nie Xiaohu was looking at himself, Hu Mingquan hurriedly said.

"Where were the people around you last night when you were ugly?" , Nie Xiaohu asked, his eyes like a sword.

"Ugly?" , Hu Mingquan frowned and thought for a while, "It's so late, naturally I'm sleeping." ”

"Who can prove it?"

"No", Hu Mingquan replied very simply, "I live alone, there is no one else in the house, if I can find someone who can prove it, I would like to meet him!" ”

"What about you?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Hong Jincheng again.

"Me?" Hong Jincheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "I was also sleeping in the house at that time!" ”

"Can anyone prove it?"

"I can't prove it", Hong Jincheng shook his head and said, "I also live in a room alone, and there is no one else in the house." ”

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded lightly.

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Nie Xiaohu looked around at everyone and said, "This case still needs to be carefully investigated, and you all must not go out during this period, otherwise you will be punished as a criminal, do you understand?" ”

"Understood, sir!" , Li Xiaoling, Zhou Ma, Hu Mingquan and Hong Jincheng nodded in response.

"Very good, let's go!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and turned to leave.

After leaving the Li family, Nie Xiaohu instructed: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Maozi, Xiao Liuzi, you bring a few more people, give me a good check on Li Shunzhang, I want to know all the people who have had a holiday with them, the most recent, the former, don't leave any one behind, and check if there are any archers nearby." ”

"Got it!" , Shi Yuning and the others immediately replied loudly.

"Xiaohui, you also bring a few people, and check the situation of Hu Mingquan and Hong Jincheng for me, the more detailed the better!"

"Got it!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded.

It wasn't until the evening that Shi Yuning and the others returned to the hall of the fast room.

"Tiger head, check it out!" As soon as he entered the hall, Shi Yuning spoke.

"How? Who did Li Shunzhang have a holiday with? ”

"No," Shi Yuning shook his head as he gulped down water.

"No?" Nie Xiaohu's brows were furrowed.

"I'll tell you!" , Mao Guangjian said on the side.

"Li Shunzhang, the owner of Li Ji Yinpu, is forty-two years old this year, a local, who worked as an apprentice in Bijia Yinpu when he was young, and married the daughter of his master, Bi Guangmao, the owner of Bijia Yinpu, sixteen years ago, and became the son-in-law of the Bi family.

Ten years ago, Bi Guangmao passed away due to illness, Li Shunzhang inherited the family business of Bijia Yinpu, and changed its name to Li Ji Yinpu, and his wife Bi also died of illness five years ago, leaving a daughter, named Li Xiaoling.

Li Shunzhang is kind on weekdays, never argues with others, and doing business is also his duty, never lacking two pounds, and has an excellent reputation. ”

"Why?"

"Because that man is long dead!"

"Dead?" , Nie Xiaohu was stunned.

"That person's name is Hu Runxuan, and he is Li Shunzhang's junior brother!"

Liu Zhenxiao said: "Hu Runxuan and Li Shunzhang are apprentices in Bijia Yinpu, Li Shunzhang is a senior brother, he is a junior brother, but he died five years ago, and I heard that he committed suicide. ”

"Suicide? Why? ”

"It's not all for the word 'love'!"

Shi Yuning finally relieved himself and hurriedly said: "I heard that twenty years ago, when the two of them were apprentices in the Bi family, they both fell in love with Miss Bi, and Miss Bi fell in love with Hu Runxuan, but Bi Guangmao was very fond of Li Shunzhang, so he beat the mandarin duck and married his daughter to Li Shunzhang.

Since beating Li Shunzhang to become the son-in-law of the Bi family, Hu Runxuan left the Bi family and returned to Hujiazhuang outside the city, Miss Bi died of illness five years ago, I heard that Hu Runxuan committed suicide by hanging the beam after hearing about it at home, and people said that he was martyred for Miss Bi. ”

"Anything else?"

"The entire Daohua District has been checked, there are no archers, only one is very accurate in archery, and I joined the army last year, I heard that it went to Guangxi, and no one can say where it is," Liu Zhenxiao said.

"Anything else?"

"It's gone!" The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"So Li Shunzhang doesn't have any enemies?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows instantly twisted together.

"I guess it's gone!"

Mao Guangjian nodded and said, Shi Yuning beside him secretly pinched his thigh, and he grinned in pain.

"If it weren't for vendettas, then what would the murderer be for? The Li family did not lose their finances, nor did they steal and kill, if the motive for the murder could not be found, how should they find the clues to solve the case? ", Nie Xiaohu thought to himself, and pouted helplessly.

"Let's all go back and rest, I'm tired after a busy day, right?" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand outward.

"Then we'll withdraw first!" , Shi Wei said with his fists clenched.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, didn't make a sound, the three of them glanced at each other, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Early the next morning, Nie Xiaohu sat in the hall, although he was still meditating, the expression on his face was much more relaxed than last night.

"What's the matter, Brother Tiger, the case has eyebrows?" , Cao Xiaohui entered the hall with a smile.

"Xiaohui, you're back!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Cao Xiaohui with a smile.

"How's it going? Is there an eyebrow on the case? ”

"It's a little bit more or less!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Let's talk about your investigation first!" ”
