When Jing Mo returned to Nie Xiaoman's gluttonous cat study, Nie Xiaoman was busy in his study going through the piles of files and reports of various old cases of the Criminal Department. As soon as Xiao Man saw Jing come in, he put all the things in his hand aside, glanced at Jing Mo first, frowned and blamed.

"Why don't you listen to me and go outside on your own? I have told you again and again that you must recuperate before your injuries will heal.

Jingmo had to find a backpad and said, "That's what Wang Chaozong told me to go." He said he had caught the thief with the kit, and you weren't there, so I couldn't help but go. ”

Nie Xiaoman was really distracted by this sentence and asked, "Oh? It's rare that this king's hands and feet are nimble, and he has already caught the person who robbed the leather medicine box? Is there any confession that is not? ”

Jing Mo then sat down and told Nie Xiaoman the confession he had just heard.

At the end, Jing Mo said again: "At first, I thought that in this way, there was hope for the whole case, but it was still very slim. ”

Nie Xiaoman pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's no wonder you're disappointed. From this point of analysis, it seems that the murderer suddenly made an assassination. After he stabbed Luo Guanmiao down, he fled immediately, which shows that the purpose is not to rob things, but to kill people. ”

"Yes, because of this, the motive of the man's murder is impossible to speculate."

"That said, but you don't have to be too disappointed."

"Now only by arresting that house slave 'forgetting worries' and the bandit Jin Xiguang who defeated me can there be hope of finding out."

"Don't be too anxious, for now you should be more lenient. Come, let's eat. Saying that, Xiao Man pulled Jing Mo and walked into the dining room.

Wei Pu had already arranged three dishes: shark's fin with rose, lamb tripe soup, and steamed eggs with sea cucumber.

Rose's string of shark fin is to replenish deficiency and nourish the body, qi and blood; Lamb belly soup is to dispel wind and cold. Treat symptoms such as cold and warmth; The steamed eggs with sea cucumber nourish blood and moisturize dryness, benefit essence and relieve fatigue.

Jing Mo looked at these dishes, and then looked at the smile on Xiaoman's face, and thought, okay! Looks like they're treating me like a sick number! But I still miss Xiaoman's hospitality.

Jing Mo just lifted the chopsticks and asked again: "Xiaoman, you just said in the text message to me that you have found some clues. You haven't told me yet. ”

Nie Xiaoman put a chopstick of sea cucumber in Jing Mo's bowl, and said warmly: "There are a lot of threads in this." We'll talk after dinner. ”

Jing Mo knows Nie Xiaoman's character, and whenever it comes to a critical moment, he always has this habit of selling off. Sometimes he is reluctant to express his opinions lightly because the facts of the case are not fully clarified, which is understandable, but sometimes, he feels that Xiaoman is obviously deliberate, so that he can surprise himself out of surprise.

At the moment, Nie Xiaoman had to wait until after the meal to explain, and Jing Mo thought that it was nothing more than this intention. So Jing Mo had to be patient, and waited until after eating, each other went back into the study, sat on the circle chair, and lit borneol incense in the Xuan furnace, and Jing Mo began to ask.

Nie Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "Jingmo, you don't have to be in a hurry, I'll tell you." I've already traveled a long way since I went out. Zhao Leji's information was not much more than the report of the Criminal Department, so I went to the Changchun Theater where the crime occurred to investigate the situation last night, but I didn't get much from it. But knowing that the deceased Wei Ximai was their old patron in the theater for many years. He has several properties in Nanshi, his family is very rich, and he has a lot of money. He's a man who sits and eats. And he is still young, and his face is very beautiful. When he was newly married, the bride was very beautiful. So the two of them were brutally killed last night, and many people felt sorry for them. ”

At this time, the fragrance had slowly spread, and Xiao Man said again: "I don't know the essentials, so I went to Wei Ximai's house to inquire." The news was that the man's father was a wealthy man in Jinling, and the family had several properties and trades. However, Ximai's marriage was not liked by the parents, so the young couple went to Hangzhou to escape. Later, because of the persuasion of relatives and friends, the old couple reluctantly allowed it. They came back from Hangzhou, and last night was only the eighth day. ”

"Half of the above news I inquired about from their neighbors, and half of it was indirectly from Zhao Leji. As to why Wesimae's father disapproved of his son's marriage, we have not yet figured out the reasons for this. ”

Jing Mo carefully distinguished Xiao Man's words, and really couldn't pick out any important clues in them. What about some important clues that Nie Xiaoman said? Jing Mo couldn't help but be a little impatient in his heart. And Nie Xiaoman seemed to have seen through his thoughts from Jing Mo's face at this time, so he continued to explain.

"Jingmo, you should learn to be patient! I'm going to get to the topic of the article. Zhao Leji once told me that there were some fatal wounds on the chest on the corpse of the woman~gan, and I also personally examined it, and it was a small hole larger than a copper coin. Then I went to Wang Chaozong's side to send the coroner's office to ask if Luo Guanmiao's body had similar wounds. As I expected, I looked at it and found that I could almost conclude that the wounds on the two bodies were identical. Therefore, I can assert that it was the same murder weapon and the same method, and I think that the two cases may really be related to each other. Isn't that an important clue? ”

Jing Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "'Of course, this is an important clue, but maybe such a short-stabbed murder weapon is not difficult to find?' If it happens that two murderers inadvertently choose this assassination-type murder weapon, it's not impossible, right? ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled and said, "Not bad." If there is only this evidence, then there may be two murderers using the same bayonet, and there may be such a coincidence, then I certainly cannot assume that the two cases are connected. But I have already speculated with you just now, in addition to the same wounds and techniques, there are also two important points: the figure of the murderer and the time of the crime. Is it all a coincidence? ”

Jing Mo thought for a while, this was also reasonable, and asked, "So, have you now concluded that these two cases must be related?" ”

Nie Xiaoman shook his head again and again: "It's not either." There is still a contradiction in this, and I am as unsure as you at the moment, and I dare not make a judgment. Because judging from the three main points mentioned at this moment, although these two points have the possibility of being related to each other, when I think about the motives of these two cases, it is difficult to think about them. Imagine Luo Guanmiao's case, which is obviously about a conspiracy, or some secret deed. But will the Wesimai also play a role in the conspiracy? He is the son of a rich family, and he is neither short of money nor ambitious, and probably has nothing to do with such a secret conspiracy. If it doesn't matter, then why did the murderer kill them overnight and at the same time? What is there in this that we don't know? ”

Jing Mo thought for a while, and felt that the murdered characters in these two cases had different statuses, and they really couldn't find a related possibility.

Jing Mo said: "Although the two parties who were killed had no relationship with each other, the murderer had a deep hatred with both characters, so he killed them separately without doing anything. Is this possible? ”

Nie Xiaoman shook his head and said, "Impossible, generally speaking, this cannot be established." You must know that since a person carries out an assassination for a certain motive, whether out of resentment or a plot, his mind must be focused on this point for a time. It seems unreasonable to say that that the man had two completely unrelated hatreds in his heart, and at the same time killed and took revenge. ”

This sentence makes a lot of sense. But other than that, Jing Mo really couldn't think of any other understanding. Jing Mo felt that these two cases seemed to be related, seemed to be unrelated, and were mysterious, which really taught people to break their heads.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Man searched through the stacks of old case files that had been turned over before. Jing Mo didn't know what he was looking for, but Xiao Man was engrossed in looking there, and he was not bothered, drinking the vegetable water sent by Wei Pu, sitting silently and waiting.
