After about an hour later, Shi Yuning, Mao Guangjian and Liu Zhenxiao came back, Nie Xiaohu's eyes lit up, he suddenly stood up, walked out quickly, and after a while, Nie Xiaohu entered the living room again, with a confident smile on his face.

Shi Yuning, Mao Guangjian, and Liu Zhenxiao also walked in after him, and the three of them did not stop, and went directly to the second floor.

Just when everyone was still surprised, the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth raised slightly, and he said loudly: "Everyone! Regarding the case of the murder of Kou Yuanwai, I will give you an explanation now! ”

When everyone in the living room heard this, they were all stunned, Li Guanyu and his wife first glanced at each other, and then looked at Nie Xiaohu with puzzled eyes; And Yang's eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at Nie Xiaohu; Wang Ma and Shunzi both stood behind Yang with their heads bowed, silent; Shangguan Yu sat beside Yang, hugged Yang's right arm tightly with both hands, and leaned on Yang's shoulder like a kitten; Deng Xingdong sat on the chair, his face was still painful, his hands were holding the injured thigh, and the strip of cloth that tied the wound was still red, and it seemed that the wound was not recovering too well.

Everyone sat silently in their chairs, and no one made a sound.

"First of all, except for Mrs. Kou, everyone here has a motive other than killing Kou, that is, a reason!"

"Wow!" As soon as the ground was over, the people in the living room suddenly rioted.

"Quiet!" , Cao Xiaohui raised her eyebrows, and the living room suddenly became quiet again.

"Motivation alone is obviously not enough, so let's analyze the possibility of poisoning the cup one by one!"

"Wang Ma, let's start with you!" , Nie Xiaohu pointed at Wang Ma with his hand.

Wang Ma glanced up at Nie Xiaohu, didn't make a sound, and then lowered her head again.

"The confession written by your son Zhao Pengtao is in the hands of Kou Yuanwai, and there is a possibility that the official will be arrested at any time, if Kou Yuanwai dies, then the threat to your son will be eliminated, so you have a full motive to kill."

"My lord, I didn't!" , Wang Ma's face showed a panicked expression, and her hands were waving.

Nie Xiaohu raised his right hand, signaled him not to speak, and then said: "I just said, what I said is all possibilities, just a conjecture, as for the opportunity to poison, you have countless opportunities, because the tea set is in your hand, you can poison the cup at any time." ”

"Now I'll tell you again, Mrs. Li!"

Just when everyone was looking at Wang Ma with a look of surprise, Nie Xiaohu pointed at Meng Shi with his hand and said.

"Mrs. Li, your motives are also very sufficient, because Kou Yuanwai arbitrarily increased the price of the silk business with Li Yuanwai, causing you to pay a large amount of extra silver, so it is possible that you will hold a grudge and find an opportunity to poison Kou Yuanwai to death."

"I ......"

Meng Shi was just about to defend himself, but after seeing the gesture made by Nie Xiaohu, he swallowed back the words on his lips.

"As for the chance of poisoning", Nie Xiaohu smiled.

"You and Mrs. Kou were chatting in their room, and when Mrs. Kou went out to the toilet, you happened to see through the crack in the door the scene where Wang Ma was blowing her eyes for Miss Shangguan, and the tea set was placed on the wooden frame behind Wang Ma.

At this time, you take out the poison that you have prepared in advance, quietly go out, and after poisoning the cup, you quickly return to the room, Madame Kou's room is only a few steps away from Miss Shangguan's room, you only need a few breaths to complete all this, as long as you are careful enough, Wang Ma will not be able to notice. ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes shifted to Meng Shi's body, especially Li Guanyu's eyes, which were full of disbelief in shock.

"Now it's your turn, Junko!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Your motive is also obvious, because the Kou Yuan withheld your monthly money for ten days, and you were angry with him because of this, and it is not impossible for you to poison and kill people. As for poisoning, you have a better chance, because you poured the tea in the two cups, and you have every chance to pour the poison into the cup without knowing it. ”

Junko lowered her head and was silent, but her face was full of grievances.

"You too, Li Yuanwai!" , Nie Xiaohu said next.

"You are angry with the Kou Yuan Wai because of business matters, and you prepared the poison in advance, and when you were drinking tea, you took advantage of the Kou Yuan's inattention and threw the poison into his cup."

"It's impossible!"

Li Guanyu stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "When I was drinking tea with Brother Kou, I was the guest who took the cup first, and when I reached out to take the teacup, Brother Kou had already held his cup in his hand, how could I have the opportunity to poison his cup?" ”

"Don't be excited, I'll repeat, what I'm talking about now is an analysis of hypotheses, just possibilities!"

Nie Xiaohu stretched out his right hand and pressed it down, and Li Guanyu's excited expression slowly eased and slowly sat back.

"The rest is you, Miss Shangguan!" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Shangguan Yu and said.

Shangguan Yu didn't speak, his hands wrapped around Yang's right arm, leaned his head on Yang's shoulder, looked at Nie Xiaohu and smiled, although he was laughing, he looked expressionless, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

"You're ......, cough! Cough! ”

Nie Xiaohu pretended to cough twice, and then said: "Therefore, you are afraid of being kicked out of the house, so you have a murderous intention, as for the chance to poison, you can secretly put the poison in the cup when Wang Ma blows your eyes for you." ”

"My lord," Shangguan Yu said lightly, "You can ask Mother Wang, did I move when she was blowing her eyes for me?" ”

Before Nie Xiaohu could ask, Wang Ma shook her head and said, "No, no, the young lady was leaning on the door frame at that time, not moving. ”

Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly, then smiled, and turned his head to look at Deng Xingdong, who was injured in the thigh.

"My lord", just as Nie Xiaohu was about to speak, Shangguan Yu interrupted him again.

"Do you think my brother is still free to move?"

Nie Xiaohu glanced at Shangguan Yu, and two cold lights were reflected in his eyes, "Miss Shangguan is really thinking about your family!" ”

"My lord, the little girl's father has just been killed, and our hearts are still immersed in grief, and you are here to talk about the possibility of our crime, do you think this is appropriate?" , Shangguan Yu said softly, with mockery in his tone, Yang shook his head slightly and patted her gently.

Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, ignored it, paced back and forth in the center of the living room with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and then said: "The possibility of everyone I said about committing a crime all have the same question, that is, how did the murderer know that Kou Yuanwai would definitely choose the poisoned cup? ”
