Chapter 181: Peak Loop
Nie Xiaoman leaned over the window sill to observe carefully, and then poked his head out to look at the small street below the window.
Xiaoman turned around and said, "Why did you start arguing again?" As far as I can see, although this rope is enough to indicate that someone is coming in from the outside, there must be an inner line inside the inn. β
This deflated the tent at once. He closed his lips tightly, and his two walnut-like eyes looked at Nie Xiaoman fiercely. There was a clear emotion in his eyes, as if to say: "You official, you are really ignorant!" I asked you for help, but you put the blame on me! β
He asked Nie Xiaoman loudly, "My lord, what is the basis for what you say?" β
Nie Xiaoman replied as if unconsciously: "You want to be based? Well, of course there is. First, the reason why this rope can be hooked to this window barricade is naturally that someone opened the window first and then hooked it. In weather like last night, according to the habit of ordinary people, these two windows are naturally closed at night. If there is no inner line here, how can this window open on its own? Second, if the iron hook on the rope is said to have been thrown in from the outside, even if it is firmly hooked, it cannot be hooked so securely. Isn't it? So I dare to say that the action of opening the window and hooking the rope was done by the people inside. I said that there are people in this who are insiders, is it wrong? β
The face of the tent turned from white to blue, and his eyes almost burst into flames, but he closed his mouth tightly, and he didn't dare to attack Nie Xiaoman.
Li Kerong took advantage of the situation and said: "I understand now." We should ask you for compensation for our losses. As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the tent man.
Jia Huizhou also echoed and said: "Of course, you have to pay compensation, and you can't pay a penny." My silver ticket and silver coin are worth a lotβ"
Nie Xiaoman stopped them and said, "Slow! Don't talk nonsense. When it comes to compensation for damages, the inn cannot be responsible, which is the usual practice. There is no such clause in the Ming law. I think the most important thing in front of us is that we should instruct Brother Wang to find out the insider and the thief, and it is useless to say anything else. β
The king's tent was in a hurry, and said, "My lord, how do you tell me to check?" You're going to hurt me! β
Jia Huizhou looked at the two pillars next to him, and said, "How many tea doctors and young men are here?" Call them all and ask......"
"You!"
The little man's second pillar panicked, and said hesitantly: "I-I don't have a relationship-Hu Yousan took leave last night, I-I'm on his shift-"
Li Kerong said loudly: "Hmph! There's a tea doctor who took a leave of absence last night! That's worth notingβ"
Nie Xiaoman shook his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk about it, I am confident and sure of this case." But all the people in this inn must obey my command. Brother Wang, if you let all your people obey me, can you do it? β
The bald frustration's eyes turned, his expression calmed down, and then his face changed again, as if the inflated pig urine bubble had been nailed, and at first he was full of air, but in a blink of an eye, the air hole opened, and immediately softened.
He hurriedly replied, "My lord, Master Nie, that's okay!" Of course! As long as you can find out about this case for the little one, you will always say yes. β
Nie Xiaoman nodded and said, "In that case, let's go back to the room." It's a public place, it's still early, and the other guests are still having their good dreams, so there's no need to disturb them anymore. β
Then he looked back at the two lost owners, and Xiao Man comforted again: "This case will probably be solved soon." You can rest assured that you should not quarrel with others, it will not help. β
After Xiaoman and Jing Mo returned to the room, Jing Mo wanted to ask what basis Nie Xiaoman had to say. Nie Xiaoman suddenly withdrew alone in a hurry, after half a pillar of incense, Jing Mo finished washing his face here, Xiao Man had just returned to the room, Xiao Man saw the eager expression on Jing Mo's face, so he washed his face and explained to Jing Mo first.
"It's very simple. You just have to recuperate for a day and don't have to think too much. β
"My heat has subsided, and my head doesn't hurt. Oh, Xiaoman, I think this matter is very strange, how can you say it is simple? β
"I'm confident that I'll be able to crack it soon, and it won't take any of your brains, so you'd better rest."
"Ah, do you think it's so easy to break? β¦β¦ Could it be that the inside line of this case is Dr. Tea in the inn? β
"Maybe it's simpler than you say." Xiao Man said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jing Mo was even more surprised and asked, "What?" Do you doubt the skinny man who lives next door..."
Nie Xiaoman made a gesture to lower his volume and said, "Be quiet, don't talk nonsense, others will misunderstand when they hear it." β
"So how do you say it's so simple? Could it be that Jia Huizhou's money was not actually lost, it was just a conspiracy of a thief shouting to catch a thief with the intention of blackmailing the inn? β
"Haha, Jingmo, the more you talk, the farther you go. No matter how Jia Huizhou's attitude looks, he doesn't look like a liar who is acting to claim compensation, even if he is a liar, then their plan is too stupid. Do you think that if the travelers lose their money, just say a random amount, and the innkeeper will be liable to compensate for the loss, where in the world is there such a law? β
Jing Mo couldn't say anything more, what Nie Xiaoman said was simple, but in Jing Mo's eyes, it was a mystery! But if he didn't say it, Jing Mo's heart really couldn't bear it.
Jing Mo asked again: "Nie Xiaoman, what is your opinion after all?" Tell me about it, lest my teeth itch!
Nie Xiaoman had already wiped his face and was slowly tying his hair, Xiaoman listened to Jing Mo's question, finished tying his hair in a bun on the top of his head, and wrapped a net towel around his head to fix his hair, before slowly turning his head to answer.
Xiaoman said: "Jingmo, I think you must have some kind of opinion yourself. Let's talk about it first. β
Jing Mo pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes, I naturally have some opinions, but I am different from you, and I dare not say how easy this matter is." β
"Huh?
"I think the strange sounds and lights I experienced last night seem to have something to do with this case."
"Well, that's possible."
Jingmo was overjoyed and said, "You agree too?" β
Xiao Man continued to ask, "Do you know what the inside story is?" β
Jing Mo said: "According to my estimate, these two thieves are as you expected to have a huge amount of money. They were still exposed in the river boats or elsewhere, and they were followed here. Later, that person bought the inside line and started to do this case? β
Nie Xiaoman suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I don't approve. According to you, this case is very complicated, and it cannot be considered a simple case. β
Jing Mo hurriedly said: "I originally said that you were too simple." So what exactly do you think? β
Nie Xiaoman put down the ivory hairbrush in his hand and smiled slightly: "Jingmo, I don't think you can get rid of your quick temper - okay, now I might as well give you a key reminder." The strangest point in this case is that one of Li Kerong's trollings was also stolen at the same time. β
"What's so strange about that? Isn't that also valuable? β
"Yes, but you should remember that it was a dark old troll, not necessarily new. Moreover, if you want to compare the little white face and the otter skin collar robe, isn't the difference in value between the two obvious? β
Jing Mo was unconvinced: "Although there is a difference between high and low. But when thieves steal things, whether they are comfortable or not is also a problem, and I am afraid that they cannot calmly evaluate and select. β
Xiao Man said: "Not bad." But the thief had to get up and down from the rope, and he had a silver ticket with him, and a lot of silver bills, which were already a little heavy, and they were not of low value, so why should he bring this somewhat cumbersome troll? Is he missing a piece of clothing? β
Jing Mo shook his head and said, "Xiaoman, what you said is too far-fetched. Trolling is worn on the body, and it is not necessarily cumbersome. And if you say that he has an inside line, then you can wait until he gets off the ground, and then the inside line will drop the stolen goods, and you don't have to wear it on your body. β
