Feng Zizhou smiled: "Hahaha, I don't think it's a love triangle?" Master Nie, do you say? ”

Nie Xiaoman took the wine in his hand and pondered, "This view can't be considered wrong. However, we cannot stick to this until we have collected evidence from all angles. ”

"So what other possible motives do you say?" Feng Zizhou asked a rhetorical question.

Jing Mo also said: "I think Liu Hanfei is a very mean person, just look at his treatment of two servants. So it's not impossible for someone to take revenge. ”

Jing Mo decided not to say the thing that Han Fei had framed Sima Yingyang in his mind for the time being.

Feng Zizhou asked, "Oh, revenge? Do you have a factual basis? ”

Nie Xiaoman let out a sigh of relief and shook his hand again: "Now let's put aside the motive for a while, and first imagine the circumstances of the murderer's murder last night." If we find a reasonable hypothesis, it will be helpful for the motive of the murder and for our future conduct. ”

Feng Zizhou said: "I think when the murderer goes in, it must not be long before the deceased returns home." He was undressing and laying out the bed, when he saw the murderer suddenly enter, and he—"

Nie Xiaoman suddenly stopped him and said, "Slow, how did the murderer get in?" That's an important point, you're too sloppy. ”

Jing Mo also said: "Not bad. The front door was locked, and there was a dog inside, so it wasn't easy to get in. ”

Feng Zizhou's hand holding a piece of mutton liver stopped in mid-air and said, "I saw that the spring lock on the front door is the most common style, very ordinary. The murderer had prepared a similar key, and it was easy to open the door and enter. As for the dog, according to the maid's mother, he barked the second time. Probably the dog heard the door open in the deceased's room and ran out to bark, but when he saw that it was someone he knew who had opened the door and came in, he stopped barking. Or at that time, the deceased heard the sound and drank the dog to stop it, and the dog stopped barking. ”

Nie Xiaoman frowned and said, "But there is an iron latch on the door." How did the man get out of the way? You also heard that when the deceased went back last night, his aunt told him to bolt the iron latch. ”

Feng Zizhou replied slowly: "Maybe it's a coincidence, although the deceased vaguely agreed when he entered the door, he didn't actually latch. ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled lightly and did not answer. Jingmo couldn't bear it anymore, put down his chopsticks, and inserted it into it.

Jingmo said: "This is too much of a coincidence. ”

Feng Zizhou raised his hand and touched his fat round chin, and said back: "So, Su Shangcha, what is your opinion?" ”

Jing Mo replied: "I thought the murderer was actually Liu Hanfei who opened the door and let him in. ”

"On what basis?"

From all angles, the murderer and Liu Hanfei must have known each other. The man was not an Assassin who took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak in and attack. Otherwise, the deceased sees a stranger go in, and in the middle of the night, when people are quiet. It is bound to cry out. In this way, the master and servant of the upstairs and downstairs will never fail to hear. “

Feng Zizhou picked up a piece of meat from the chopsticks in his right hand, nodded slowly, and said, "Well, you said that the two of them have known each other for a long time, and I have the same opinion." But you think the dead man let him in, but I expect him to open the door himself. That's what sets us apart. Master Nie, what is your opinion? ”

Nie Xiaoman said lightly: "In my opinion, what you two said about the murderer and the deceased knew each other, not strangers from outside, I completely agree." But the way the murderer entered the door was very nerve-wracking. I don't think the two views you have assumed make sense. ”

Feng Zizhou put down his wine glass and looked at Xiaoman in a daze, and Jingmo was no exception. Because Jing Mo thought that his opinion was much more reasonable than Feng Zizhou's, but in Nie Xiaoman's eyes, he also thought it didn't make sense.

Jingmo said: "Then what other superb views do you have?" ”

Nie Xiaoman took a sip of wine, looked at Jing Mo and said, "Brother Zizhou said that he entered the door by himself, you think it's too coincidental, this is not bad." But it would be too vague for you to say that the deceased let him in. Didn't you want the murderer to go in and see him, wasn't it pre-agreed? If not, how can the deceased be assured that the deceased will open the door when the man knocks at the door in the middle of the night? And even if you don't wake up the master and servant who live together when you knock on the door, the keen sense of that horn dog must not be hidden, why is there no sound? ”

Jing Mo thought for a while and argued: "I think they were pre-agreed. When the murderer knocked on the door, the dog barked, and then the deceased drank and came out to open the door. The dog barked and stopped, I think Brother Feng Zizhou's assumption is very reasonable. ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "You said it was agreed? I also have several opposing opinions. First, the deceased lived in a relative's house, and his usual actions were kept strictly secret. Didn't the hostess say that only Han Fei went out to see his friends, and it was rare for friends to come to see him? So even if someone wants to go on a date with him, how can he make an appointment in his residence? Second, when he looked at the clothes he had taken off and the quilt he had laid out, he saw that he was ready to sleep. Do you think that if he really had a secret date, and that date was so life-threatening, would he go to bed calmly like this and get ready for bed? ”

The reason is very sufficient, Jing Mo didn't refute it for a while, so he had to pick up the meat and think about it while eating, Feng Zizhou also silently held the wine glass in a daze.

Jing Mo took a long breath and said, "Then you always have constructive suggestions, right?" ”

Nie Xiaoman refilled everyone with wine, looked at the stove, and replied: "Yes, I also have a hypothesis, but this hypothesis is based on the current situation we know so far, and I am not sure whether it is true or not. ”

Feng Zizhou said encouragingly: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "Judging from the current situation, the murderer went in, maybe before Liu Han flew home. He hid in Liu Hanfei's room in advance, and waited until Hanfei made the bed and was ready to sleep before he came out. ”

The view is indeed new, but it is too abrupt. Jing Mo and Feng Zizhou glanced at each other, and each had a look of dissatisfaction.

"So, how did the man get in?" Feng Zizhou hurriedly asked.

Nie Xiaoman picked up the wine glass and replied, "I saw that the house was just in the entrance of Deren, and above the alley was the residence of the Kan people. If you hide a person under the gatehouse after holding the lamp, you will never attract people's attention. It was very likely that the man took the opportunity to sneak into Xie's house. Otherwise, the servants of the Xie family would be suspected of being bribed and put in. I think the idea of the latter layer is more relatable. ”

Jing Mo remained conservative and calm, estimating the possibility of these two understandings in his mind.

Feng Zizhou said: "If your idea of the latter layer is true, who is the servant who colluded?" But is that Lishui mother? ”

Nie Xiaoman pondered: "I see that old mother seems to be quite honest. ”

Feng Zizhou said: "But this old mother has suffered from the dead, and the motive for collusion is not necessarily just for money." ”

"Well, yes, it's possible. But in addition to this old mother, isn't there also a manservant Ah Si who is a miscellaneous errand? ”

"Well, yes, I haven't seen this Ah Si yet. Once, when I got the letter to Xie's house, Ah Si had already gone to Qianju Street to report the news, and then I investigated for a while, and when the dead body was moved to the coroner's office, Ah Si had not returned. Just now we went again, and he was ordered to go back to Qianju Street again. ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded: "This person is an important person in the case. He has also suffered from the dead, and recently he also ate an ear brace, maybe more than this time. He also saw the tall man who had almost fought with the deceased, and who was dressed in a troll, and slept at the back door at night, and was more suspicious. So sooner or later I'm going to see him. ”

Feng Zizhou nodded and said, "What?" Are you saying that Ah Si himself is suspected of murder? ”
