"Isn't that?" Nie Xiaohu pursed his lips and looked at the frightened Zhao family, feeling a little helpless.

"Official, let's talk about it!" , A middle-aged man who looked quite calm came to Nie Xiaohu.

"My name is Wei Zhenguo, and I am a friend of Brother Shen's business," this person first introduced himself.

Nie Xiaohu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Today is Brother Shen's 45th birthday, and we all came to congratulate him, and after the dinner, Brother Shen invited all of us to come to the backyard to enjoy the coolness, listen to music, and watch fireworks.

"What about the people who play and sing, why haven't I seen any of them, could it be that they have run out?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the people in the field again.

"Oh, that's right, Brother Shen usually likes to listen to music very much, so he requires everyone in the family to learn a little, so the people who play music and sing music are all the people in the family, aren't they all there?" , Wei Zhenguo pointed with his hand to the seven or eight servants who were gathered together.

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu glanced at them.

"After we all listened to two songs, Brother Shen asked people to go behind the big tree to set off fireworks, and said that this fireworks are really good!"

"It's very good-looking, I saw it outside", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

But just as we were all enjoying the fireworks, suddenly a black figure fell from the sky, holding a knife in his hand, and landed in front of Brother Shen.

Just when we were still in a daze, we only heard a bang, followed by a thick white smoke wrapped the black shadow and Brother Shen, and then there was a stabbing sound, followed by a firelight, after the fire, the black shadow disappeared, and then we saw Brother Shen fall to the ground with a knife stuck in his chest.

Everyone was frightened, and they all thought they had seen a ghost, so they ran around, and then you came. ”

Nie Xiaohu pondered for a moment and asked, "You just said that the 'ghost' fell from the sky?" ”

"Yes, from the sky!" , Wei Zhenguo said with great certainty.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"See it with your own eyes!"

"That's where the 'ghost' came down from the sky?" , Nie Xiaohu walked to the side of the corpse in a few steps and looked up.

"Exactly!" , Wei Zhenguo nodded.

Nie Xiaohu looked up at the criss-crossing branches above his head, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"What does that 'ghost' look like?"

"I couldn't see clearly, I only saw that he was black from head to toe, only the two eyes on his head still had a little light."

"I can't see clearly, there are enough lanterns here and bright enough, how can I not see clearly?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the lanterns hanging around the courtyard.

"That's right, when the fireworks were set off, in order to be able to see more clearly, Brother Shen specially ordered someone to blow out all the lanterns, and it was at that time that the ghost appeared."

"Brother Tiger, the deceased was killed by a knife, he was hit in the heart, and the corpse still has residual warmth, and the time of death will not exceed half an hour."

At this time, Cao Xiaohui squatted next to the corpse and observed it after saying.

Nie Xiaohu also squatted down and carefully observed the corpse, except for the short knife at the mouth of the heart, there were no other external injuries around the corpse, the eyes of the deceased were wide open, and there was an expression of disbelief and horror on his face.

"What's that?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly found a lot of ashes scattered on the ground next to the corpse with the corner of his eye.

Nie Xiaohu carefully held a large piece of ash on the palm of his hand and looked at it closely.

"Bring the lantern!"

Shi Yuning hurriedly took off a lantern and carried it to Nie Xiaohu's side.

"It turned out to be a piece of paper ash", Nie Xiaohu frowned and looked at the paper ash in his hand, and suddenly a faint strange smell entered his nostrils.

"What does it smell like?" , Nie Xiaohu sniffed again, "Weird." ”

"I smell it", Cao Xiaohui lowered her head, leaned her nose over and sniffed, and then frowned.

"It's kerosene!" , Cao Xiaohui rubbed her nose.

"Kerosene?"

"It's kerosene", Cao Xiaohui nodded, "But it still seems to smell a little stinky, weird, how can kerosene stink?" ”

"Poof!" , Nie Xiaohu blew off the paper ash in his hand, clapped his hands, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's kind of interesting now!"

"Xiao Shi, you maintain order, all foreign guests can go back, all the people of the Shen family are not allowed to go out, I will ask them one by one after dawn!"

"Understood!"

After arranging for Shi Yuning and the others to stay in the Shen family, Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui left.

"Brother Tiger, did you say it would be a ghost?"

"Ghosts?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Do ghosts still need to use knives?" ”

"yes!" , Cao Xiaohui pursed her lips.

"Then if it was a case done by a person, how could he disappear out of thin air?"

"It's nothing more than some deceptive tricks, such as blindfolds and the like", Nie Xiaohu sneered.

"You mean there's a secret tunnel underground?"

"Maybe, we'll take a closer look after dawn!"

"Got it!"

As soon as the next day dawned, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui and Yigan came to the Shen family pharmacy.

After careful investigation, the ground under the big tree in the backyard was confirmed to be the ground, and there was no underground passage such as a secret passage.

"It's weird, could the murderer fly into the sky?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned and looked up.

"Bring the ladder!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted.

Soon, someone brought a ladder and leaned it against the trunk of the tree, and Nie Xiaohu climbed up the ladder and observed carefully on the branches.

"Brother Tiger, could it be that the murderer has been hiding in a tree after killing someone?" , Cao Xiaohui stood under the tree and looked up and said.
