Chapter Eighty-Four: Someone Eavesdropped

Jing Mo heard that there was a sudden sense of enlightenment, and recalled that he had been worried that Xiao Man would lose to the surnamed Feng in the crime-solving competition, and he didn't feel a little funny.

Xiaoman said: "So early this morning, I first went to the back of Fangxiang Temple to investigate, but found nothing, Feng Yunqi told me that the shoes were found at noon, so it can be seen that the shoes were hidden in other places in advance, not in the mess, in fact, they were taken out of the place where he hid." Later, I suddenly saw that his black cotton jacket was stained with brown gray, like the ash of paint. ”

Jing Mo almost screamed when he heard this, it turned out that Xiao Man had such a strange behavior in the bathroom, it turned out that Xiao Man saw the clue at that time.

Xiao Man said: "I thought that the back door was pried open only six or seven inches, and when he squeezed his body in, the paint dust on the door might stain the placket." Looking at the back door, he saw that although the door was painted ochre, it was not as old as the dust stained on his body, so he was disappointed and went home in a huff. You must remember how I looked at the time. ”

Jing Mo said excitedly: "Isn't it? I wanted to help, but you reprimanded me in anger, and now that you think about it, isn't it very ruthless? ”

Nie Xiaoman sincerely apologized: "Jingmo, please forgive me, the case is really changing, it's not that you are within your ability, it's not that I'm unreasonable." I hope you don't blame me. ”

"Of course I don't blame you." Jingmo asked again, "So how did you find it later?" ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled: "Speaking of this, it's your credit. The beef restaurant you like often persuaded me to try, and that day I was lost and didn't know where to go. I pondered for a long time, and I was groggy and still didn't get anything. Later, when you dragged me to dinner, I saw the flagpole hanging with the beef pavilion wangzi, and suddenly I thought of a pair of flagpoles in front of Fangxiang Temple, which were all old ochre paint. ”

"Yikes! You left suddenly, it turned out that you were looking for evidence? ”

"Yes, I hastened to inspect it, and looked carefully with a windproof six-sided oil lamp, and sure enough, I found a black wire on the wooden pole, and when I raised my neck to look at the wooden bucket, I saw a black package in the small hole of the openwork, and knew that it must be stolen goods. There was a tolerance guard at the back door of the Li house, and I lied to them that I was going to look for something else, and they didn't suspect it. I believe that if the messengers don't go away, Feng Yunqi won't dare to risk taking the stolen goods, so I will go home calmly. ”

After saying so many words, it seemed that it had consumed a lot of strength from Xiao Man, and he said word by word: "By the next day, you will have witnessed everything with your own eyes, and there is no need for me to repeat it." ”

When Jing Mo heard this, he felt that Nie Xiaoman was advancing in an orderly manner, which was worthy of the word "precision", and he was deeply admired. Nie Xiaoman brought a cat in from outside, this is a three-color cat, the three colors are yellow, white and black, and there is a name called "tortoiseshell spots".

Nie Xiaoman hugged the "tortoiseshell spot" very tightly as if he was afraid of the cold, and asked Jing Mo again: "Jing Mo, now this case has come to an end, do you still have any questions?" ”

Jing Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "One thing I'm still puzzled about, when the thief rummaged through the cabinets, why didn't Li Wenchang's aunt know at all?" Could it be that there is something else to do it? ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded and said, "If you only look at the surface, it is indeed suspicious, but I don't think so, because the first time we walked into the bedroom of the Li Mansion, it was clear at a glance, and we could be sure that she would not collude and conspire." ”

Jingmo said, "Didn't I go with you when I entered the bedroom?" What did you see when the woman slept in the tent? ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "The first time I saw the picture of a woman hanging on the wall, I guessed that she must be Li Wenchang's aunt, she looks very demure and dresses very carefully, but there is absolutely no bewitching state. Later, I saw a book on the desk, the title of which was "Female Fan Jielu", so I affirmed that she was a chaste woman, not comparable to those ordinary lewd ~ lascivious women. If you don't pay attention to these two points, it's no wonder you're suspicious. Another thing you didn't notice was that when we walked into the bedroom, the air inside was cloudy and suffocating, and I told them to open the window immediately. Do you know what this is? It turned out that the thieves had used Mongolian medicine when they went in, and the bedroom doors and windows were closed, and when we entered, the Mongolian medicine had not dissipated. ”

Jing Mo suddenly realized again, and then thought that there was a roll of paper and a bottle of medicine in the black bag, which was probably used to stun the woman.

Jing Mo said loudly: "Then the woman was frightened and sick, not completely frightened, but also poisoned by the Mongolian medicine. ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded and said, "By the way, as long as I see them open the window and get fresh air, the woman will be better by half the next day, this is the proof." Now that I've said that, you must have fully understood! ”

At this time, suddenly a voice came from outside the door, and then a voice spoke: "Thank you for your guidance, this time the little one can be regarded as fully understood?" ”

There was someone outside the house!

Jing Mo stood up in surprise, and saw that it was Pang Shangjiu who had come in.

Nie Xiaoman said while touching the cat's hair: "Brother Pang, you have already arrived here with a pillar of incense, haven't you?" We think we've heard it all. ”

Pang Shangjiu was shocked and replied, "Most of them have already understood, but my lord, how did you know that I came in?" ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "How could I not know? I guess you came to know the facts of the case, so I didn't call you and let you stay outside to listen. ”

Pang Shangjiu was a little frightened, and said: "Eavesdropping is guilty, and I can't defend it, can the adults forgive the little ones?" ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled: "Hahahaha, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it, but I look at you now because I have other news to tell me, right?" ”

Pang Shangjiu was stunned for a moment, then took out a piece of paper in his arms, handed it to Nie Xiaoman, and said, "I can't hide anything from the eyes of adults, there is indeed news." The gentleman will find out after reading it. ”

Jing Mo and Nie Xiaoman's attention was attracted by the letter. Nie Xiaoman took the letter and unfolded it, Jing Mo approached and looked at it together, the writing on the paper was cursive, the handwriting was strong and powerful, and it was obvious at a glance that it was written by someone who had attained calligraphy.

I saw that it read:

"Nie Gong Xiaomantaijian:

Ignorant of the theft of the Li Mansion in Jinling City, there were unscrupulous people who embezzled the name of the contemptible person. Although the name of fool is insignificant, the contemptible person has a bright and upright personality, does things straightforwardly, and is never afraid of ugliness.

Fortunately, Lord Nie uncovered the truth and washed the grievances for the contemptible, the clouds and mountains are in sight, looking forward to admiration, respecting the short and simple, first expressing gratitude, the green mountains do not change, and the green water always flows.

- Fly in the sky. ”

After reading the letter, Jing Mo looked at Nie Xiaoman in amazement, and said: "Xiaoman, this is the real "Flying in the Sky", what is the purpose of him writing this letter to you?" ”

Pang Shangjiu said: "This letter was sent directly to the infantry yamen and asked them to hand it over, you can see the courage of this thief, but the two cases he committed in the past have not yet been resolved. Can the letter you received today also be used as a clue? ”

After Pang Shangjiu finished speaking, he looked at Nie Xiaoman, as if waiting for a reply.

Nie Xiaoman didn't answer, put the letter on his knee, his eyes burned, he looked at the letter, bit his lip, lowered his head, and didn't say a word for a long time.

The "tortoiseshell spot" let out a lazy cry: "Meowβ€”β€”β€”β€”! ”
