Chapter 25: Unscrupulous Means (5)

"Xie Tianwen is at home?" , Nie Xiaohu went straight in with a single knife and asked Huang when he opened his mouth.

"Huh?" , Huang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "At home." ”

Xie Tianwen was chatting with his old mother in the house, and when he saw Nie Xiaohu and Tang Yibin, he was also taken aback, and he didn't know why he would find his home.

Nie Xiaohu looked Xie Tianwen up and down for a while, and asked, "You are Xie Tianwen?" ”

"Exactly, two officials, is something wrong?" , Xie Tianwen asked suspiciously.

"Two officials, my son Tianwen won't do anything, right?" , The old lady beside Xie Tianwen asked with a little panic.

"Old mother, we just came to Xie Tianwen to ask something, you don't have to be nervous", Nie Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Oh", the old lady turned to Xie Tianwen again, "Son, the official messenger asked you, what they asked, you have to answer truthfully!" ”

"Got it, mother", Xie Tianwen said softly.

"Xie Tianwen, where did you go today besides going home?" Nie Xiaohu went straight to the point.

"Didn't go anywhere?" Xie Tianwen didn't think about it, and replied directly.

"Did you suddenly remember to go home?"

"Oh, that's not it, it was Tianwu who told me that I'm idle now anyway, so it's better to go home and take care of my mother, I'm right when I think about it, and I'll come back."

"I heard you've been suspended, haven't you?"

"Hmm", Xie Tianwen nodded, his face looked a little angry, "I don't know who I offended, I actually spread rumors everywhere, saying that I was doing tricks on the accounts and filling my own pockets, which is really infuriating!" ”

Xie Tianwen seemed very calm, and he didn't feel panicked at all because of the accounts.

"There was a murder at the tea stall, you must already know about it, right?"

"I know, my brother and sister have already told me", Xie Tianwen nodded.

"Do you know who the dead are?"

"I don't know."

"The deceased is the bookkeeper who You Tianxing hired from Luoyang to check the accounts", Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, his eyes staring at Xie Tianwen tightly.

"Huh?" , Xie Tianwen obviously didn't expect it, and looked at Nie Xiaohu with a puzzled face, not knowing how to answer.

Judging from Xie Tianwen's reaction, Nie Xiaohu couldn't see the slightest performance element, nor could he see anything wrong with Xie Tianwen, Nie Xiaohu knew that he couldn't ask any valuable clues from Xie Tianwen, so he turned to look at the old lady.

"Old mother, what do you call it, you have a high birthday this year?"

"Ask me?" , The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The old woman's surname is Chen, and her husband's surname is Xie, and she died of illness at an early age. ”

"And who else are in your family?"

"There are two sons, the eldest is called Xie Tianwen, and the younger brother is called Xie Tianwu, because the family is poor, the money saved is only enough to marry a daughter-in-law, Tianwen took the initiative to give it to his younger brother, and two years ago he told Tianwu about his family, and married a doorman, that is, the Huang family. Daughter-in-law, come on, come on, I've seen the two official masters. ”

As she spoke, Old Woman Chen beckoned to the Huang family.

"I've seen two adults," Huang said softly, bowing slightly.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Then what are your two sons doing?" ”

"Last year, Tianwu became a buddy in Master You's shop, because he was smart and clever, and his hands and feet were also diligent, so he was deeply loved by Master You, and I didn't hear that he was recently promoted to supervisor.

Tianwu in order to help the family, so he recommended the astronomy to Mr. You to do the bookkeeper, and only the old woman and my daughter-in-law Huang were left in the family, Huang had nothing to do, so he set up a tea stall at the gate of the city to earn a little money to supplement the family, although the family is not rich, but life can still go on. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she laughed.

At this time, it was already evening, and I saw Huang go out with a handful of red herbs.

"She's this?" Xiaohu asked puzzled.

"Oh, she's not in good health lately, Tianwu invited a Lang Zhong to take a look, saying that it was a lack of qi and blood, and gave a prescription to drink a pair every night before going to bed, isn't this going to boil medicine." Old woman Chen said.

"How long has this been the case?"

"I just started drinking it the day before yesterday, and Tianwu said that I should continue to drink it for two months before it can take effect."

Nie Xiaohu nodded, "Old mother, we still have something to do, so don't bother, you can rest well!" ”

"Oh, good, good!"

"Xie Tianwen", Nie Xiaohu looked at Xie Tianwen and said.

"The villain is here."

"I think you'd better go back to the store first, don't go out if there's nothing special, so I can find you at any time."

"Yes"

After leaving Xie's house, Nie Xiaohu and Tang Yibin returned to the fast room.

After synthesizing the existing clues, Nie Xiaohu is really a little confused, although Xie Tianwen has both the time and motive to commit the crime, but if it is really Xie Tianwen's doing, this is too obvious, Wang Li is here to check Xie Tianwen's account, kill him at this stall, wouldn't it be to cover up? But if there is someone else, who will it be? What is the motive for the killing?

Nie Xiaohu thought about it and didn't figure it out, at dawn, Mao Guangjian came back from Luoyang, and the news he brought back was that Wang Licai was kind, very popular, never quarreled with others, and the neighbors said that he was a good person.

At this time, Nie Xiaohu was even more directionless, leading the four of them to walk distraughtly on the street.

"Boss, how much does this satin dress cost? It looks good, I want to buy one for my lady", as he walked, Mao Guangjian took a fancy to the skirt on a clothing stall and asked.

"A tael of silver".

"! What about the leather jacket? Mao Guangjian asked with an exaggerated expression.

The boss glanced at Mao Guangjian impatiently, "Three slots." ”

Just when the four of them were laughing, Nie Xiaohu suddenly found a man and two women in front of him buying jewelry in front of a jewelry stall.

"Isn't this You Ruoxi, the daughter of You Tianxing? The maid next to her is called Xiaoyu, who is that man? Xiaohu stared at the three of them for a while.

"Brother Tianwu, do you think this bead flower looks good?" , You Ruoxi asked with a beaded flower.
