There is a calligraphy painting hanging on the wall next to the steps, which is painted with the pine, bamboo and plum of the three friends of the year, and the original few lines of small inscription poems on the painting are now covered by a few lines of larger handwriting, only to see that the painting reads "Nothing is worthless, what is the use of life?" If you get ahead, why die? ”

Nie Xiaohu stood in front of the painting and stared, although it had just entered October, the cold in the secret room still made him shudder a few times.

After a long time, Nie Xiaohu turned around, no longer looked at the painting, reached out and took out a few books on the shelf, flipped through them roughly, and carefully put the books back in their original places.

After inspecting the scene, Nie Xiaohu returned to the courtyard, looked at Lu Shi and said, "Tell me what happened!" ”

"Yes, sir!" , Lu Shi choked and nodded.

"The master is a scholar, he loves to read, he is full of wealth but does not like fame, he lives in seclusion in this small mountain village, the secret room is the place where he uses to hide books, the master has to go there almost every few days.

The day before yesterday, I went back to my mother's house in Ruyang County, and only the lord was alone at home, and I originally planned to stay at my mother's house for a few more days, but I thought that the lord was old, and I really couldn't rest assured that he was left at home, so I came back early.

Just this morning, I returned home, but I couldn't see the old man, I thought he might have gone to the secret room, so I went down to look for it, but I didn't expect ......", Lu Shi said again, and hid quietly.

"When you went to the secret room, was the iron door open or locked?"

"Naturally, it's open, why do you ask?" , Lu asked suspiciously.

Nie Xiaohu didn't answer her words, and then asked, "Then have you ever touched the door lock?" ”

"No", Lu Shi shook his head, "I went down to the secret room, and just after passing the iron door, I found the old man lying on the ground, I was frightened, and quickly ran over to take a look, only to find that the old man had already gone, and his body was cold!" Lu Shi burst into tears.

"Is there anyone else in the family?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Lu Shi expressionlessly.

"The master also has a nephew named Shao Shusen, he lives in the city, he doesn't come back a few times a year, and I don't know what he does in the city", Lu Shi stopped his grief and said in a choked voice.

"Total headcatcher!" At this time, the catch of the footprints came out of the house quickly.

"The footprints in the secret room have all been compared, except for a small number of women's footprints, the rest of the footprints are all left by the deceased!"

"That's my footprints," Lu said hurriedly, "it won't... It doesn't affect adults, does it? ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled and shook his head.

At this time, he also walked out of the house and handed the corpse grid to Nie Xiaohu's hand, Nie Xiaohu took the corpse and looked at it, and then looked up at the Lu family.

"Does your master have a chronic illness?"

"Yes", Lu Shi nodded and said, "The old man has angina pectoris, he has been suffering from angina for many years, although he has been taking medicine all the year round to recuperate, but he has never improved, and he often gets sick. ”

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"The autopsy results said that your lord died of cardiac arrest, which should have been caused by a heart attack, and the time of death was a day and a half ago, as for the cause of the illness, it should be caused by the low temperature in the secret room."

"What?" , Lu Shi's eyes widened in surprise, "It turns out that the master died of a colic attack in the center of the secret room!" Blame me for this! I shouldn't have left him home alone! Then he burst into tears.

At this time, the crowd gathered at the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement also began to stir, chattering and saying everything.

"It turns out that Shao Xuexue died of illness!"

"There is no one at home, and Shao Xuexue is so old, so naturally he has to wait for death when he starts his illness!"

"This Lu family is not a good thing, people say that she has a leg with Shao Xuexue's nephew, I can't fake it!"

"Well, I think she did it on purpose, and now it's her wish!"

"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't mess around**! ”

"Quiet!" , Shi Yuning strode to the gate of the courtyard and shouted.

"Now that the facts of the case are clear, now I'll tell you how Mr. Shao Zhuoran was killed!" , Nie Xiaohu looked around and said with a smile.

"Wow!" , the crowd suddenly exploded.

"Killed? Didn't he die of illness? ”

"That's right! I just heard that he died of illness! ”

"Shhhh Let's hear what's going on! ”

Without waiting for Shi Yuning to speak again, Shao Yifu, the owner of the village on the side, hurriedly raised his hands and pressed down, and the crowd suddenly calmed down.

At this time, Lu Shi had a panicked expression, his eyes kept swinging from side to side, his vision was erratic, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Lu Chunhua, how did you kill your master, tell me?" , Nie Xiaohu said with a sneer.

"Big... My lord, how could it be me, slave... The slave family just this morning... Just came back", Lu Shi began to speak unfavorably.

"Don't say yes?" , Nie Xiaohu sneered, and at this time Mao Guangjian had already moved a chair out of the house.

"Tang Yibin!"

After the Pose was set, Nie Xiaohu began his opening remarks.

"As long as it's a crime, there will be loopholes, and all I do is find out the loopholes," Nie Xiaohu said with a smile as he tapped his fingers on his thighs.

"Lu Chunhua, now I'll tell you where your loopholes are", Xiaohu looked at her mockingly.

"Wow!" The crowd of onlookers couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly burst into shouts.

"Wow! This is the legendary 'Smiling Nie Shen Hunt', right? ”

"Dear mother! I can actually see with my own eyes, what kind of blessing is this a lifetime? ”

After a period of noise, the crowd consciously quieted down, and the scene was a little scary, not even coughing.

"It's actually quite simple!" , Nie Xiaohu was happy at the crowd.

Three days ago, Lu casually found an excuse to go back to her parents' house to save relatives, before leaving, she first deceived Shao Zhuoran into the underground library, and after Mr. Shao entered the library, she locked the iron door outside and locked Mr. Shao in the secret room.

She knew that Mr. Shao had angina, and thought that Mr. Shao would definitely die if he had a heart attack in the secret room, even if he didn't have an attack, he would starve to death for a few days and nights!

Three days later, she was not at ease, afraid that Mr. Shao would be rescued, so she came back, only to find that Mr. Shao had died. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was restless again.
