Chapter Seventy-Five: An Unexpected Letter

Jing Mo looked at Li Shicheng and didn't understand his intention, so he had to invite him to the study first. Li Shicheng walked in the door, walked straight to Nie Xiaoman, held a letter with both hands, and said anxiously: "Lord Nie, this letter is ordered by my father to be forwarded to you." When we received this letter, the whole family panicked, and now we have asked the staff in the yamen to guard the front and back doors in case of accidents. ”

Nie Xiaoman showed an incredulous expression when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Who wrote the letter, so serious?" ”

Li Shicheng replied in a frightened voice: "Yes..... It was written by "Flying in the Sky", and the adults naturally understood after reading the content of the letter, and it was really helpless to ask for tolerance to watch it. ”

Jing Mo was really surprised when he heard this. I remember that I and Xiaoman just analyzed that this case was not really "plugged into the sky", why is it so fast, and now there has been a change, so isn't the reasoning just now all in vain and wrong?

Nie Xiaoman only glanced at the letter and said, "This situation is really unexpected! Jiaocheng, who opened this letter first? Is it someone from the yamen? ”

Li Shicheng denied it: "No, the letter was opened by my father." You two have only been away for a pillar of incense, and a little servant has sent this letter. ”

Nie Xiaoman asked, "So, the fast catchers haven't seen this letter yet?" ”

Li Shicheng said: "Seeing is seeing." When my father read the letter, he panicked and immediately sent it to the yamen Liyun and asked them to send someone to guard the house. Yamen Li wanted to keep the letter as evidence. But my father sternly refused, thinking that it was necessary to let you know about it, so that it could be used as a clue to investigate, so he ordered me to send it over in the evening, hoping that you would analyze it. ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded, and just pulled out the letter paper, but Li Shicheng was about to leave after giving a deep salute.

Li Shicheng said: "Please forgive me, sir, my father is waiting, I must go home immediately." However, there is one thing that is not too important, but it should be known to the gentleman. Just now, according to the report of the old housekeeper Ding, the sedan chair man Gao Laosi came to my house last night, and when Pang Dianshi inquired about it just now, he forgot it for a while and did not explain it. ”

Nie Xiaoman suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something, and asked, "Really?" Why did the palanquin man go to the house? What time? Do you know the details? ”

According to Ding's old housekeeper, he heard that his father wanted to go out to watch a play during dinner, so he told the sedan chair man to prepare the sedan chair. When Gao Lao Si came to my house, my father changed his mind and wanted to walk to Changchun Opera Garden with Feng Yunqi. Gao Lao Si also left, around the end of the day. ”

"Does this guy named Gao Lao Si often come and go in your house?"

"Often, when my father or aunt went out, they always hired his palanquin, so they knew each other very well."

"Where's his house?"

"It's at No. 13 A in Gangzi Village, and my house is No. 15 B, which is very close to each other."

"There are at least two people to carry a sedan chair, and who is the other companion?"

"His younger brother Gao Xiaoliu, the two brothers have their own sedan chairs, and they have always been hired to carry sedan chairs to make a living."

"What is the appearance and shape of these two men? Can you describe it to me? ”

"Gao Laosi is very tall, his younger brother is about the same as him, but not as fat as his elder brother, Lord Nie, do you have another opinion?"

Nie Xiaoman took out his notebook and said while writing: "No, it's just that you should pay attention to any subsections, careful investigation can sometimes reap the benefits of touching the bypass, or you are not afraid of trouble." Can you delay for a moment and wait for me to read the letter before leaving. ”

Li Shicheng said: "I really can't stay here anymore, what does Mr. have high opinions, please come to the house again." My father asked me to apologize to Mr. for a while, and I was a little annoyed for a while because of my abrupt speech, and I didn't ask Mr. for advice, please come tomorrow! ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded and said, "Yes, please tell Ling Zun, don't worry too much, I will definitely go to greet you again tomorrow morning!" ”

Shi Cheng happily agreed and said goodbye. Jing Mo sent him outside the door, and Shi Chengcheng quickly left.

At this time, the thoughts in Jing Mo's mind were like thousands of horses galloping, and there were thousands of clues. Originally, Jing Mo had privately thought that all of Nie Xiaoman's reasoning was reasonable, and he initially decided that Wenchang's decision to watch the play was a temporary decision, and the thief might not know about it, so he suspected that it was done by the people in the house.

Now suddenly there is a sedan chair man, Gao Laosi, who knows that Li Wenchang is out to watch a play, and it is not surprising that the news spreads. Then this case should also pay attention to the thief, and not fully pay attention to the people in the house. Seeing that Nie Xiaoman heard Shi Cheng's report, he was overjoyed, and carefully recorded it in his notebook, which must be in line with Xiaoman's thoughts.

Jing Mo thought again, but now there is a letter from "Plugging in the Sky", what the letter says, although I don't know yet, of course it has something to do with this theft. What kind of relationship is it after all? Is it attached to each other? Or does it contradict Xiaoman's previous guess?

While thinking about it, Jing Mo walked back to the study, and saw Nie Xiaoman reading the letter intently, as if he had an expression of looking behind the letter.

Jingmo asked, "Xiaoman, what does the letter say?" What new leads have you gotten or not? ”

Nie Xiaoman raised his eyes, sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "No." I think this guy may be familiar with "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness"! ”

Jing Mo didn't understand what Xiao Man was talking about, and opened his eyes to look at him. Nie Xiaoman then handed the letterhead to Jing Mo.

Jing Mo saw that the handwriting on the letter was rough and strange, only a few words, and the writing was very vulgar: "The jewelry is temporarily borrowed, if you pursue it, my treasure knife will be bright, and you will be killed!" "Fly in the Sky"

Nie Xiaoman smiled and said: "This tone is very similar to the tone of a type of character in "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", I said that I am familiar with "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", there is nothing wrong with it!" ”

Although Nie Xiaoman was joking lightly, Jing Mo said seriously: "Okay, but Xiaoman, despite this, do you see any signs from it?" ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "Don't worry, I will naturally check it carefully!" ”

"Is this letter true or false? Is it consistent with your previous analysis of the case? ”

"Now we don't talk about whether it is uniform or not, just look at the handwriting that is the same as what is written on the wall."

"Really! It seems to be the work of one person? ”

"There is nothing wrong with this, but there are two proofs: one is the charred charcoal, which is used on the same letter paper as it is written on the wall. The second is the handwriting, the handwriting on the wall is very strange, and now the words on the letter paper are just as strange, although the font is a little smaller, and it has been altered, which is to prevent being carefully studied. I conclude that this is the work of one person. ”

According to you, this letter was also written by a fake person, and not really by the "Plug in the Sky" himself? ”

"Exactly!"

"So can you use this letter as a clue?"

Nie Xiaoman pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe, I hope it can be my clue." ”

Jingmo asked, "Can you distinguish handwriting?" ”

Nie Xiaoman asked rhetorically, "You mean I want to use this handwriting as a clue?" No, that's too much trouble. The handwriting in the letter is deliberately strangely written, which can be borrowed to disguise and is not easy to compare. If I had asked all the suspects to write a note, it would have been impossible. ”

"So what do you rely on as a clue?"

"It's hard to say right now, please be in a hurry." Then, Nie Xiaoman said, "If my prediction is correct, this letterhead is likely to be the key to this robbery. But now I'm not sure of it, so I can't tell you. ”

"Can you tell us a little bit about that?"
