Nie Xiaoman stood up, slowly stretched, and continued.

"I went back to look for the street patrol I had met on the road, and we managed to get the lock open and go in together. We looked upstairs and downstairs, but it was empty, and the living utensils in the house were very rudimentary. I didn't have time to search in a hurry, so I retreated and told the head catcher to hurry up and report to the official, so that the yamen could send someone to secretly monitor the house. I sent you to me in a carriage. I also sent Wei Pu to send a message to your wife Nanxing, saying that I would keep you living here to help with something, so that she would not be anxious. Now that you're awake, it's better to recuperate quietly for a while. ”

Nie Xiaoman's explanation gave Jing Mo a cold feeling. This matter is finally made by fate, if Xiaoman's action is a little late, or he can't find a trace of himself and the thin man, or there is a slight difference in time, then he must have no doubt about survival. In retrospect, it was a blessing of misfortune!

Nie Xiaoman smiled again and said, "Jingmo, I said last night that you were a little drunk and asked you to take the car home, but you didn't listen." What's going on after all? If you are not drunk, how can a man who is unprepared dare to take such a risk? ”

Jing Mo thought back to the smug feeling yesterday, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and replied: "I'm confident that I'm not drunk, but what happened is too bizarre, forcing me to do this." ”

Then Jing Mo told him what he had passed by last night, starting from hearing a scream, until he knocked on the door and rushed to the old merchant store, met with the man called Jin Siguang or Xiguang, and followed the house at No. 9 Morning Glory Lane, and told it from beginning to end. Nie Xiaoman lowered his head and listened quietly without interjecting a word, as if he was carefully scrutinizing all the plots that Jing Mo said.

Who knew that this was just Jingmo's misunderstanding.

After listening, Xiao Man actually asked slowly, "Didn't you miss anything from your experience?" You think about it. ”

Jing Mo shook his head in confusion. "No, I don't. What do you think I'm missing? ”

"Haven't you ever been in a fight with anyone?"

"Nope."

"Then how can your cloak be so filthy?"

"I think about it, oh yes, I bumped the guy in gray and I fell twice."

Xiaoman smiled: "Well, then you didn't mention this matter, it seems that you did it on purpose, and you wanted to kill my shark fin." After speaking, Xiao Man joked lightly to Jing Mo.

Jing Mo also smiled and said: "Nie Xiaoman, I think this matter is a little strange, and you are still telling jokes." What do you think is the reason for this? ”

Nie Xiaoman pondered again, looked out the window, and asked Jing Modao: "You have personally experienced this matter, I guess you should have any opinions." I'd rather hear from you first. ”

Jing Mo replied: "I fainted and slept all night, and I haven't thought about it carefully. But according to the analysis of the situation seen, it is very similar to a case of gangsters eating gangsters. ”

"Oh?" Xiaoman was a little surprised: "How can you see it?" ”

"After the deceased Luo Langzhong went out, he first talked to people, and then was killed, which shows that the murderer was known to the deceased for a long time. Before he died, he heard the knock on the door, and he looked very frightened, because he thought that it was the thin man Jin Xiguang who knocked on the door, so it was clear that he had some secret relationship with this Xiguang. These two are certainly on the same party. That's obvious. ”

Nie Xiaoman said lightly: "Even if you are in the same party, why kill each other?" How do you know that Luo Guanmiao's murder must have been committed by the same party Jin Xiguang? ”

Jing Mo said: "It's not difficult to guess. The reason why black eats black is, of course, for profit. That Kim Hee-gwang once asked about that 'thing', and it seemed that the deceased had some secret 'thing' to sell to Kim Hee-guang. They had agreed to meet in the hotel, but the matter may have been known to a third party. The man wanted a piece of the pie, so he stayed outside Luo Guanmiao's house, and when Luo Guanmiao came out, he beat Luo Guanmiao to death by surprise, and then snatched the 'things' he wanted to seize and fled. According to my expectations, Luo Guanmiao must still have hidden the 'thing' in the instrument leather medical box that night. ”

Nie Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "But according to what you said, you saw a man in a gray robe at that time, and the house slave with a strange name 'forget worries', and also said that you saw a person in a gray short coat running away. These two people are one east and one west, the direction is different, and the length of their clothes is also different, showing that there is more than one person. Does this contradict your assumption about the third party? ”

Jing Mo thought for a while and said: "Maybe the third person is afraid that he won't be able to succeed when he makes a move, and he made another appointment with a bandit, so there were two people when the case occurred." ”

"And have you ever seen something in the hand of the man who knocked you down?"

"I didn't pay attention to that. I was knocked down by him, and I didn't have time to see anything. Later, in the light of the house, I could only see the back of his gray robe. As for whether he has something in his hands, I don't know. ”

Nie Xiaoman stood up, crossed his arms, walked to the carbon stove, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then paced to the window for a while. Finally, he suddenly leaned against the window sill, his eyes on the floor, and gave his thoughts.

"There is some truth to your speculation, but in my opinion there is room for debate. Think about that person's purpose, if he only wants to take the 'thing' from it that he doesn't know what, why would he kill Luo Langzhong? ”

"This is nothing more than a ploy to extinguish the mouth. Otherwise, the same party robbed Luo Langzhong's things, since they know each other, how embarrassing will they be to meet in the future? If it wants to attract revenge, it is better to kill it cleanly. ”

Nie Xiaoman laughed: "Jingmo, you said this sentence too easily. The thief who designed to snatch the "thing", although Luo Guanmiao knew it, but if the mastermind could make another appointment when committing the crime, why did he join in person? Couldn't he have made an appointment with someone else whom Luo Guanmiao didn't know to seize the premeditated 'thing'? ”

Jing Mo thought about it carefully and felt that his speculation was indeed flawed, so he had to nod.

"And what do you think?"

Nie Xiaoman still lowered his head and said.

"As far as I can guess, this case is by no means so simple as a psychological guess, and if a criminal's purpose is only to rob things, he will generally not commit murder in the street unless absolutely necessary. We know that Luo Guanmiao was killed as soon as he went out, obviously not because someone wanted to rob him, but because he was killed because of violent resistance. ”

After a pause, Xiao Man said again: "Otherwise, there will always be a struggle or shouting between the two." In this way, it can be seen that the murderer's purpose was not only to rob, but also to premeditate the murder, so he assassinated him as soon as he met. If my conjecture can be true, then there must be a deeper inside story of this case, waiting for us to investigate. ”
