Thinking of this, Jiang Han asked Wang Yan: "Then why don't you take the chickens and ducks out for some food?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "Then I don't know, but the patriarch said that there are still some bran noodles in Zhuangzi, and I didn't ask much if I saved enough food to support the grain." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I teach, I don't farm on weekdays, and the food at home is also brought back from Zhuangzi by Cuilan, although this bran noodles are not delicious, I can eat enough. ”

Jiang Han just wanted to ask again, but saw Liu Cuilan hurriedly patted Wang Yan: "You have finished eating, why don't you hurry up and go to the patriarch to see if you can help anything? ”

Wang Yan stood up and nodded: "That's okay, then I'll go over now, and you can eat slowly." With that, he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Jiang Han saw that Liu Cuilan deliberately drove Wang Yan away, obviously not wanting to ask him any more, so he continued to nibble on the cake and did not speak again. But he kept thinking in his heart, Liu Cuilan was also mysterious, as if there was something he didn't want to know, the people in this Zhuangzi were all exuding a strange aura, and there was a place in this Zhuangzi that made him feel a kind of indescribable weirdness, this feeling he had since he came back yesterday, but for a while he couldn't think of anything wrong.

He was sitting here slowly nibbling on the cake, while carefully pondering the ins and outs of the matter, and then he saw Wang Yan running in from outside in a panic, shouting as he ran: "Jiang Dart, it's not good, go and take a look, something happened again!"

Jiang Han was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly put down the cake, stood up and asked, "Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan had a frightened expression on his face, and said intermittently: "Liu Xiaoyang, Liu Xiaoyang is dead!"

Jiang Han's eyes widened when he heard this: "What's the matter?" don't worry, just talk slowly. ”

Wang Yan took a sip of water from the cup, and took a few breaths, then slowly calmed down and said: "I just went out and walked a short distance, and I saw Liu Xiong running this way in a panic, and as soon as he saw me, he shouted loudly, 'Xiaoyang is dead, Xiaoyang is dead'! I didn't have time to ask in detail, so I hurried back to inform you." ”

Jiang Han frowned: "Why is there an accident again?" Let's go over and take a look." ”

Wang Yan took Jiang Han and a few people to Liu Xiaoyang's door, and it happened that Liu Laosi and a few of them also came over from there, and when they saw Jiang Han hurriedly coming over, they said nonsense: "Jiang Darttou, Xiaoyang has an accident!"

Jiang Han said as he walked towards the courtyard, "I know, tell me what's going on?"

Liu Xiong hurriedly said, "I was the first to find out about this matter, this morning a few of us agreed to go to the patriarch's mourning hall together, but everyone went early, Xiaoyang didn't come, Xiaoyang usually does things on time, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see anyone, so I came to Xiaoyang's house to find him." ”

"As a result, when I arrived at Xiaoyang's house, no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, so I thought to myself why Xiaoyang slept so dead, because the door was inserted from the inside, he couldn't get out, right?"

I shouted him a few more times in the yard, but there was still no response, I was going to pick up the window to take a look, but I found that there was a big hole in the window paper, I looked in along the big hole, my mother, Xiaoyang lay on the ground motionless, and there was a knife stuck in his neck. ”

"I was so scared that I was confused, and I didn't know what to do, so I hurried to find Mr. Wang, and I met Mr. Wang halfway, and he said that he was going to inform you, and then I went to call the fourth child and them over. ”

"No, we just arrived here and were discussing what to do, so you came here. ”

Jiang Han nodded: "Let me take a look" After speaking, he walked to the window, and saw that there was indeed a slender opening on the window paper, Jiang Han looked in along the opening, and saw Liu Xiaoyang lying flat on the ground, motionless, with a knife stuck in his neck, it seemed that he was dead, and there was a pool of blood next to the corpse.

Jiang Han hurriedly walked back to the door, pushed it with his hand, the door was inserted very strongly, and he didn't push it twice, so he deduced the door latch with a "click" and came to the house.

Jiang Han walked up to Liu Xiaoyang, squatted down, touched Liu Xiaoyang's neck with his hand, and shook his head: "No, the person is already dead, and the corpse is cold." ”

When Liu Xiong and a few people heard this, they were released and cried: "Xiaoyang, why are you leaving, wasn't it okay last night, why don't you want to commit suicide?"

Jiang Han was stunned: "Why do you say that he committed suicide?"

Liu Xiong cried and said: "Isn't it obvious, the doors and windows are closed tightly, if it's not suicide, can anyone still come in?"

Jiang Han stood up, walked to the door and looked at the wooden door carefully, picked up the broken door latch and checked it carefully, and found nothing suspicious. I went to the window again and checked it, and there was nothing suspicious about the window, except for the hole in the window paper.

Jiang Han carefully checked the house twice, and found nothing special, Liu Xiaoyang's house was clean, it can be said that it was spotless, the quilt was clean, spread out and spread on the kang at random, and a big red pillow was placed on the kang.

Jiang Han walked back to the corpse and carefully examined the corpse, the corpse was lying on the ground by the kang, his head was facing the window, and a knife was deeply inserted into Liu Xiaoyang's neck from top to bottom, and there was a pool of blood on the ground next to the neck. The corpse was quite clean, only there were some blood stains on the clothes near the neck and on the chest, from the outside, except for the knife on the neck, there were no other scars, and there was no trace of struggle next to the corpse.

Jiang Han gently pulled out the knife inserted in the neck of Liu Xiaoyang's corpse and looked at it carefully.

This knife is about three inches long, the knife body is sharp, the blade is as thin as paper, it is willow leaf-shaped, and there is a red silk more than an inch long tied behind the handle, which is obviously a flying knife used by Jianghu people.

Jiang Han stood up and asked Liu Laosi and the others: "Is Liu Xiaoyang the only one in the family?"

Liu Xiong nodded: "Xiaoyang's personality is like a woman, who is willing to marry him on weekdays, but he is still alone in his forties, but he himself is a woman, and he keeps the house in order on weekdays, and everyone doesn't worry about his affairs, so they just go with him." ”

Jiang Han nodded: "Then has Liu Xiaoyang practiced flying knives on weekdays?"

Liu Xiong shook his head blankly: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Jiang Han picked up the flying knife and shook it in front of several people: "Then how could he have a flying knife used by the people of the rivers and lakes, and how did he use it to commit suicide?"

Liu Laosi interjected: "Maybe he got it by accident, the patriarch died today, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he committed suicide with it." ”

Jiang Han shook his head: "We were together all the time yesterday, Liu Xiaoyang looks very normal, although Patriarch Liu is sad, but it has not reached the point where he has to die." (To be continued.) )
