In a wing room of the Immortal Restaurant, there was a straw rope hanging from the beam, and Zeng Pan'er, who was still crying, was hanging in the air, looking indescribably terrifying.

Shen Ao and the others pushed the door in to take a look, and Di San'er was suddenly frightened and hurriedly hid.

"Quick, put him down!" Shen Ao hugged Zeng Paner's feet, Liu Huimin also came over to help, put Zeng Pan'er down, Shen Ao checked the strangulation marks under Zeng Pan'er's neck, and checked his pulse, knowing that Zeng Pan'er was dead, shook his head, and got up gloomily.

After leaving the house, Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "Zeng Pan'er committed suicide in fear of sin, so that there is no hope for finding the wine utensils, hey, I knew this was the case, and I should have asked at that time." ”

Shen Ao was noncommittal, called Liu Huimin and asked, "When did he commit suicide?" Didn't he tell you to look at him? ”

Liu Huimin smiled bitterly: "The little one escorted Zeng Paner back to the room, Zeng Paner said that he wanted to think about it alone, so I guarded at the door, this is on the fourth floor, I thought that as long as I guarded the door, he would not be able to escape even if he pushed the window, who knew that after waiting for a long time, I saw that there was no movement inside, so I knocked on the door to ask, and then knocked the door open, Zeng Paner was already dead, Shen Gongzi, it was my negligence, I really deserve to die." ”

Shen Ao thought for a while and said, "You guard here first, I still have one more thing to do." ”

Shen Ao called the frightened Disang'er over and asked Disang'er, "In the offering room on the fifth floor, how many wines were used in those wine utensils during the sacrifice?" ”

Di San'er was stunned, and then said: "There is only one kind, which is the most ordinary carving, and my grandfather had the best to drink this kind of wine when he was alive, so when he sacrificed, he only used this kind of wine." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "It was my momentary negligence that killed Zeng Pan'er." ”

Di San'er didn't understand what Shen Ao meant, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Shen Ao turned his head, this time his face sank, his eyes looked at Liu Huimin aggressively, and said, "Liu Huimin, let me ask you, where did you hide the wine utensils?" ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Liu Huimin, and Zhao Ji, Yang Jian, and Di San'er on the side were also confused.

Liu Huimin was startled for a while, and then said calmly: "What does Shen Gongzi mean by this?" The little ones are wronged. ”

Zhao Ji said on the side: "Yes, did Shen Ao guess wrong?" This Liu Huimin is illiterate, how to distinguish between real and fake drinking utensils? ”

Shen Ao smiled calmly and said, "Since Liu Huimin forgot about the theft, then you might as well let the students help him recall what happened at that time." At that time, you happened to be present when trading wine utensils, and when you heard that the wine utensils were worth 30,000 yuan, you thought about it, and when the door of the store was closed at night, the account room personally led you and Miss Di to the offering room, and sealed the wine utensils with a layer of wax ......"

"Wait......" De San'er interrupted, "How do you know that Uncle Ann has sealed the wax?" ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Because there are traces of wax shells on the table, it is evenly smeared, and it should be used to protect the wine utensils." Even those few fakes are sealed with wax, so the real thing naturally needs to be better protected. ”

Di Sang nodded her head, and had to admire Shen Ao's careful observation.

Shen Ao continued to say to Liu Huimin: "After that, the An's account room asked you to fetch wine, and you went to the wine cellar and took the wine, but this wine was not the carved flowers that Wu Nang Gong loved to drink before his death, but the begonia wine in the store, the carving and the smell of begonias were similar. The reason why you take Begonia wine instead of carving is to make a mark, because in your opinion, it is difficult to distinguish between several fakes on the table, but if you change the Begonia wine, with your ability to distinguish the wine, you only need to find a wine set that holds Begonia wine, and you don't need to identify the authenticity of the wine utensils. ”

Zhao Ji suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say: "I see, it's just how did Shen Ao know?" ”

Shen Ao smiled: "Although the smell of begonia wine and carved wine is similar, there are still differences, and I smelled it on the offering table." ”

Ignoring Zhao Ji anymore, Shen Ao smiled at Liu Huimin, but that smile didn't make Liu Huimin feel the slightest kindness, Shen Ao continued: "That night, after you finished cleaning the house, you obviously had the key to the table on your body, but you deliberately went to pick the lock open, and then stole the wine utensils, this is because you have to deliberately create an illusion, because others will think, since you have the key, why do you have to pick the lock so much?" The real excitement is in the back, when I came to ask you, you deliberately involved Zeng Pan'er, because you know that there were only three guys in the house who heard me analyze the value of wine utensils, Wang Kai slept in the same room with others, and it was easy to find witnesses to clear himself, only Zeng Pan'er was alone, and it was easiest to frame him. So you deliberately said that you saw Zeng Pan'er come out to get up at night, and Zeng Pan'er listened to it, but he couldn't distinguish it for a while, because you insisted on it, which made him have a delusion, after all, when people are awake, it is difficult to recall the things in their sleep, so Zeng Pan'er thought that he really got up at night, but he couldn't remember it clearly the second time. That's why he denied it at first, but later, he flatly denied it, saying that maybe he got up. His change of words just shifted our attention to him. ”

Shen Ao paused for a moment, and then said: "Since you suspect Zeng Pan'er, I asked you to go and see him, you have a ghost in your heart, and you know that sooner or later Zeng Pan'er's matter will be investigated, and if Zeng Pan'er can't hand over the wine utensils, this matter will definitely be investigated to the end, so you simply turn your heart sideways, kill Zeng Pan'er, and then make a gesture to let him hang himself, slandering Zeng Pan'er for committing suicide in fear of crime, so that as soon as Zeng Pan'er's clues are broken, everyone will only think that Zeng Pan'er is dead, and no one will know the whereabouts of the wine utensils." ”

Shen Ao's story was told with a nose and eyes, and Di San'er, Zhao Ji, and Yang Jian were all taken aback, feeling a little absurd, and feeling that this story seemed to be able to explain everything.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Huimin's eyes, and then she laughed: "Haha...... Shen Gongzi's story is very good, but unfortunately, this is completely your guess. ”

Shen Ao shook his head and said, "This is not speculation, because the truth of the matter, Zeng Pan'er has already told me." ”

Zeng Paner...... Liu Huimin was so frightened that her face was like earth, she glanced left and right, and said that it was Zeng Pan'er's ghost who came, and reluctantly calmed down: "Hmph, you are talking nonsense!" There is no ghost of Zeng Pan'er here. ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Because I know that Zeng Pan'er was murdered, although he died of suffocation, there is no sign of hanging death, because the person who hangs himself first dies of the brain, and then the control center that dominates the tongue muscles is also out of control." At this time, the muscles in the tongue appear to be weak and relaxed. In addition, the jaw is strangled and the mouth is open, and the tongue will naturally slide out of the body, so this is why hanged ghosts often stick out their long tongues. Everyone also saw that although Zeng Paner was hung on the beam, he did not stick out his tongue, obviously because he was suffocated to death by you first, and then you hung him on the beam of the house to report the letter to us. Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, it was originally a seamless plan, or a hundred secrets, Liu Huimin, you steal the treasure first, kill people later, do you still want to deny it? ”

Shen Ao's analysis is very convincing, even if he is not accused of stealing the treasure, it is difficult for Liu Huimin to explain the murder alone, because Liu Huimin herself said that Zeng Pan'er entered the wing room and was guarding outside the door, so there is absolutely no outsider who has entered, Zeng Pan'er died of murder, except for Liu Huimin, there will never be any more suspects, even if it is sent to the government, Liu Huimin is enough to sentence a prisoner, it is certain to die.

At this point, Liu Huimin's eyes rolled, knowing that the matter was exposed, and Shen Ao had conclusive evidence, so he hurriedly turned around and tried to escape.

"Okay, it's you!" Di San'er was furious, rushed over with an arrow step, lifted his back collar, the jade hand clenched into a fist, and smashed towards his back, Di San'er's kung fu was indeed not bad, and Liu Huimin didn't notice Di San'er behind him, Di San'er's punch with an impact went down, Liu Huimin ah, then collapsed to the ground, looked at Di San'er in fear, and hurriedly said: "Little grandma, little grandma spare your life...... The wine utensils were hidden by me, if the little grandmother wants to find the wine utensils, the bento is a little fart, how about it? ”

This Liu Huimin is really scheming, and at this time, he still hopes to exchange his life with wine utensils.

Shen Ao sneered: "If you just steal, you can be released, but killing people pays for your life, Zeng Pan'er's bones are not cold, do you still want to escape?" ”

Liu Huimin was hit by Di San'er's punch, the corners of her mouth were already overflowing blood, and she endured the pain and lay on the ground and said, "Then, you will never be able to find the wine utensils...... In order to avenge that Zeng Pan'er, he had to lose his priceless treasures...... Ha ha...... Then I, Liu Huimin, am willing to die. ”

Shen Ao smiled: "I'm afraid that your wishful thinking is wrong, I will not only bring you to justice, but also find the wine utensils, Sang'er, escort him up, and go to the offering room on the fifth floor." ”

Fang Cai's analysis had made the three of them respect Shen Ao very much, and even Di San'er was no longer angry with him, so she lifted Liu Huimin and escorted him to the fifth floor.

When he arrived at the offering room, Shen Ao said: "Sang'er is here to watch this thief, and we are here to search carefully." ”

Saying that, Shen Ao turned over and got off the offering table first, and when Di San'er saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, there is my grandfather's spiritual seat here, don't move around......"

Shen Ao ignored her, and searched in the room with Zhao Ji and Yang Jian, but found nothing after a careful search.

Seeing that they had nothing to gain, Liu Huimin laughed triumphantly: "I said, if I don't say it, you will never find the drinking utensils." ”

Shen Ao is a person who does not admit defeat, according to his judgment, it is impossible for a delicate person like Liu Huimin to steal the wine utensils back into his room, and no one can guarantee that the treasure will be searched in his room after it is stolen. If it is taken outside, with Liu Huimin's care, it is impossible to entrust it to people for safekeeping, then there is only one possibility, this treasure is still in the room, hidden in a place that no one has ever thought of, and when the wind and waves are calm, he will take out this wine set, and then he can quietly resell the wine set.
