Chapter 157: A Fatal Embrace (4)
Cao Xiaohui raised her eyebrows, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the black market to check who has bought Anlemian recently, after all, this poison can't be bought in a pharmacy." ”
"There's no need for that," Nie Xiaohu shook his head.
"Why?"
"Obviously, this is a deliberate plan by the murderer for a long time, the poison should have been prepared a long time ago, maybe it was bought half a year ago, or maybe it was obtained from another place, in short, the hope of finding the murderer from the source of the poison is very slim."
Hearing this, Cao Xiaohui was also depressed.
"What is this?" , Nie Xiaohu picked up a small square paper bag in the pile of items again.
"Fragrant", Nie Xiaohu sniffed.
"There's a smiley face at the bottom!" , Cao Xiaohui looked at the paper bag in Nie Xiaohu's hand and said.
Nie Xiaohu turned the paper bag over and found that a person's smiling face was painted on the bottom of the paper bag, and the outline of the smiling face was all pierced into small round holes by needles.
Nie Xiaohu opened the paper bag, and inside the paper bag was a pinch of pink powder.
"This is gouache", Cao Xiaohui pouted, "Women use it to wipe their faces." ”
"I know what this thing is for", Nie Xiaohu smiled and folded the paper bag again.
"What for?" , Cao Xiaohui's eyes widened with curiosity.
Nie Xiaohu smiled, didn't speak, picked up the paper bag, and slapped it on Cao Xiaohui's arm coldly, Cao Xiaohui was startled, and hurriedly dodged his arm to the side.
"Total... Brother Tiger, what are you doing? Cao Xiaohui's face turned crimson.
"Look at your arm", Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly.
Cao Xiaohui turned her head to look, and was immediately startled, only to see a faint smile printed on her arm.
"It's fun!" , Cao Xiaohui's eyes widened, radiating a look of surprise, and then she felt a little out of shape, quickly pulled back her face, and coughed twice pretending to be calm.
Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but laugh, but Shi Yuning and the others behind him all laughed deliciously.
"In this way, tomorrow you will take someone to investigate, and see who was in the carriage during the journey from Guiyi to Chunhua yesterday, maybe some of them will know that man."
"Got it!"
"I'll go to Chen's house tomorrow, that's it, everyone is tired, let's go back and rest!" , Nie Xiaohu waved at the catchers in the lobby.
Early the next morning, a man with a little scholar came to the fast catch room and asked for the body. When Nie Xiaohu saw it, this person's face was haggard, his eyes were red, he walked with a hunched body, and his expression was extremely sad.
"Who are you?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.
"Villain Shen Shikang, I heard from the neighbors that my wife died in the carriage yesterday, so I came to identify the body", Shen Shikang wiped his eyes with his sleeve after speaking.
"Why are you here now?"
"Back to the official's words, the villain went out to visit friends yesterday, stayed at a friend's house, and didn't return home until this morning, how could I have thought that as soon as I arrived home, I heard such bad news, I was like five thunders, and I lost my soul in an instant, think about all kinds of love between me and the lady in the past......"
"Okay, okay, stop", Nie Xiaohu rolled his eyelids, "Little stone, lead him to identify the body." ”
"Oh yes!" , Shi Yuning agreed, and led Shen Shikang to the morgue.
"It's really a sour talent, it's really unbearable!" , Nie Xiaohu thought to himself.
After about a meal, Shi Yunning led Shen Shikang back.
"The dead are your lady?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.
"Yes, yes", Shen Shikang nodded weakly, "Official, how did my wife die?" ”
"He was poisoned to death!" , Nie Xiaohu instinctively observed the change in the expression on Shen Shikang's face.
"What?" , Shen Shikang's eyes widened, and his face looked dumbfounded.
"This? How is this possible? Shen Shikang muttered to himself.
"Does your lady have any enemies?"
"There shouldn't be", Shen Shikang shook his head, "My lady is kind and never argues with others, since the death of my father-in-law last year, although she has become a little strange and crazy, she has never been angry, let alone has any enemies." ”
Shen Shikang sobbed and said: "Just yesterday, my wife was still in a good mood, she was smiling since she got up in the morning, and she made an appointment with me to go to the Luoshui River to watch the moon together in the evening, who knew that she was ......."
As he spoke, Shen Shikang hid his face and cried.
"When did you go out yesterday and where did you go?"
"Huh?" , Shen Shikang wiped his eyes and looked at Nie Xiaohu suspiciously.
"I went out early yesterday morning, to a friend's house in North City, and I drank a little too much in the evening, so I stayed with him and didn't return until this morning."
"Can you be accompanied?"
"Yes, it's my scholar Shihe, who has always been by my side."
"You're the River of Poetry?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the little scholar.
"Yes," the little scholar nodded, "the master went out early yesterday morning, and went to the house of a friend of his in the North City, and did not come back until this morning. ”
"Brother Tiger!"
Just when Nie Xiaohu was about to ask something, a warbler cry came from outside the door, Nie Xiaohu turned his head and saw that it was Cao Xiaohui, followed by three middle-aged men and several catchers.
"Cao...", Nie Xiaohu really couldn't remember how to call Cao Xiaohui for a while, and couldn't help but pout.
"Brother Hu, you can just call me Xiaohui in the future", Cao Xiaohui smiled and said generously.
Nie Xiaohu nodded, "They are?" ”
"Oh, these two were in the carriage yesterday, this," Cao Xiaohui said, pointing to a young man in a brown shirt, "he is the person Chen talked to before he got on the train yesterday!" ”
"It's efficient!" , Nie Xiaohu gave Cao Xiaohui a thumbs up and cast an appreciative look.
"It's just luck, it's nothing", Cao Xiaohui pursed her lips, with a slightly shy expression on her face.
