Mr. Li died at home. The cause of death was that the murderer stabbed him in the stomach with glass and bled to death. After investigation, Zhutou found three suspects.
1. Preserved egg (Wang's neighbor)
2. Ersha (Wang's nanny)
3. Xiaoren (Wang's friend)
Crime scene: Mr. Li was lying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood, the glass coffee table was shattered on the ground, leaving a death message. Er Sha was sitting on the ground as if he was soulless, holding shards of glass in his hands. Xiaoren walked back and forth uneasily. Pi Dan was hiding outside the door (the door was open), looking inside.
Their descriptions:
Er Sha: I don't know anything, I don't know anything
Preserved Egg: I was watching TV at home, and suddenly I heard the sound of broken glass coming from next door. I thought something had broken, so I didn't pay attention. But soon there was a scream, and I ran over to take a look and saw this scene.
Xiaoren: I came to discuss business with Lao Li. When I saw this silly nanny, I felt uncomfortable all over. Halfway through the conversation between Lao Li and I, I received a call from my boss, so I went to the back balcony to answer the phone. I heard the sound of broken glass. I walked back to take a look and saw Er Sha sitting on the ground holding the glass. Lao Li fell to the ground with a lot of blood, so I called the police.
Who is the murderer?
The death message left by Mr. Li: If there is no relationship between the two of us, King Man and Moon will kill me... (The writing is scattered)

The murderer is Xiao Ren. Er Sha's appearance was due to being frightened (screaming). The fact that he was holding glass in both hands was because he was afraid Xiao Ren wanted to kill him and he picked them up to defend himself. The death message is that Er Sha is innocent; Ren used glass to kill me.
The murderer shouldn't be the nanny; someone must have created a false appearance, and that person is the murderer. Xiao Ren made a phone call halfway, causing there to be no criminal elements. The hint about death indicates it has nothing to do with the murderer. The moon represents a stroke, and adding a person is Ren. Wang Pi does not mean preserved egg, so the murderer is Xiao Ren.
I am like Shuiyue. Moreover, the reason Xiao Ren killed him might be because the business deal didn't go well! He said something that makes people suspicious: 'At that time, seeing this silly nanny made me feel uncomfortable all over.'
According to Pi Dan's description, the sound of breaking was heard first, followed by a scream. What is suspicious is that the murderer is between Er Sha and Xiao Ren, and yet both of them were present. Who would stay with a murderer the whole time? Combined with the police's reaction when they arrived, it is speculated that Xiao Ren committed the crime, and Er Sha saw and screamed in shock.
No, wait, I got it. The two did not have any extreme accusations in their routines. Additionally, if the door wasn't opened by the police, then Pidan is the problem. The door should have been closed when the two were at home. The general meaning of that sentence might be (the two are innocent, Pidan killed me). The killer might be Pidan outside the door.
After Xiao Ren committed murder, he wanted to kill Er Sha to silence him, but found Pidan outside the door, and the matter was left unresolved. Later, Zhu Tou arrived, and the two of them confronted Ren.
Even more bizarrely, before Mr. Li died he left a note, and the two of them stayed in the room without disturbing the scene. If the killer was Ren, could he really have just squatted nearby watching the victim write with his last breath, without interrupting or destroying anything? It's too miraculous... Writing 'the two of them' would be less effective than just writing 'Ren'. Mr. Li really died for the sake of presenting a puzzle. Pidan, you must be the killer, right?
