The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Liu Tao stabilized his mind for a while, then walked up to pat the door of the Taoist temple.

"Is anyone in there?"

He called several times in a row, and finally a voice came from inside.

"Benefactor, please wait a moment, I will open the door right away."

Liu Tao also stopped knocking on the door when he heard the sound, and waited there for a while.

After a while, the door opened with a creak, and a Taoist priest in his 30s came out from the inside.

This Taoist priest looks ordinary, but he is well dressed. The Taoist robes on his body are made of silk, and he looks rich.

But Liu Tao didn't care about this, because these religious people are all very rich, and it's normal to wear some good clothes.

"This Taoist priest, here is Liu Tao, the captain of the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau. I want to know something from you."

It was none other than Yang Heng who opened the door of the Taoist temple. He looked at the captain of the criminal police in front of him and felt a little apprehensive.

Although he thought that what he did this time was flawless, and it was impossible for the other party to find out from the clues at the scene that he was behind all this, but after all, he is a person who has been educated in modern society for decades. Facing the police My heart was still a little hairy.

But Yang Heng still pretended to be calm and nodded, and then said: "Then ask the benefactor to have tea inside."

After saying this, Yang Heng led the way, led the policemen to his bedroom, poured hot water on them, and sat next to them for questioning.

Liu Tao winked at a policeman next to him, and the policeman immediately took out a notebook from his body, took out a pen and waited to record the conversation that happened in a while.

"I heard from the branch secretary below that the priest's surname is Yang?"

"Exactly, the poor Taoist layman's surname is Yang, and his legal name is Xitan."

After saying this, Yang Heng took out the certificate from his arms and handed it to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao took the ultimatum and opened it to have a look, then nodded, the Taoist priest in front of him was really a regular army, not those pretending fake Taoist priests.

Then Liu Tao handed the certificate back to Yang Heng, and asked, "Is there any festival between Daoist Yang and that Boss Yang at the foot of the mountain?"

After Yang Heng heard this, he said calmly: "Boss Yang is very dishonest. He even placed the ancestral grave next to my Taoist temple when he was traveling with me. Come back, this matter is also annoying to talk about."

When he got here, Yang Heng sighed pretentiously again, and then said: "But what can I do? I am a Taoist priest with no power, and the other party is a big boss. How can I compete with him?" , I can only swallow my anger."

Liu Tao nodded. This matter is exactly what he thought. This Daoist Yang Heng Yang is just a little Taoist priest with no name and name, and Boss Yang is also well-known in Hong Kong's business circle.

The strength gap between the two parties is too great, how could Yang Heng compete with the Hong Kong boss.

But then again, it was precisely because of this that Taoist Yang had the motive to commit the crime.

"Then Daoist Yang, where were you last night?"

"Last night, Pindao has been in the Taoist temple. At the beginning, he recited a passage, and then fell asleep. You came here just after finishing the morning class."

"Then is there anyone who can prove that Taoist Master, you have not left the Taoist temple?"

Yang Heng seemed to be annoyed by this sentence, he said to Liu Tao angrily: "What do you mean, are you going to help that boss Yang to bully me as a monk? Let me tell you, don't think that he If you have money, you can do whatever you want, but if it doesn’t work, I will go to the capital to sue him, and I don’t believe that there is no kingly law in this world.”

Liu Tao looked at the excited Yang Heng, and hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be too excited, Taoist priest, we just understand the situation."

"What do you understand? Didn't Boss Yang explain this matter clearly to you? He was the instigator of this matter from the beginning to the end. What can I, a Taoist priest, do?"

Liu Tao sighed, and finally decided to tell the truth. He wanted to take a look at the Taoist priest to know what Boss Yang's expression was like after his death.

"Boss Yang is dead, I'm afraid I don't have time to tell me this, so I'm here to ask Daoist Yang."

Yang Heng seemed to be taken aback. He took two steps back and sat down on the seat again. Then he lowered his head and his face became gloomy.

Finally, Yang Heng raised his head and said to Liu Tao, "How did he die?"

"I'm afraid I can't disclose this to you. It's a secret. You just need to answer our questions."

"Hehe, do you suspect that I killed him?"

"Don't think about it that way, we just came here to inquire about the situation routinely, and we didn't suspect anyone."

Liu Tao calmed down the emotions at the scene, and then asked again: "Now Daoist Yang, please tell me, where were you last night, and is there anyone to testify for you?"

Yang Heng raised his head to look at Liu Tao, and said, "Pindao stayed in the Taoist temple last night and didn't go out. Besides, there was lightning and thunder yesterday, and it looked like it was going to rain. How could I go out?"

After saying this, what did Yang Heng think of?He raised his head and said to Liu Tao: "Although I don't have any witnesses to prove that I did not leave the Taoist temple, there are surveillance cameras at all major intersections in Xujiabao below. If I enter the village, I will leave a shadow on the surveillance cameras. You guys You can watch the surveillance."

Liu Tao nodded secretly, that is indeed the case. In this era of highly developed information, surveillance has spread almost everywhere.

Although there is no surveillance in the small Taoist temple in front of you, there are surveillance cameras at every intersection in Xujiabao, especially the area where Boss Yang lives. The monitoring arrangement is very strict.

"Well, let's talk about this today, but I hope the Taoist priest will not leave in the near future, and I will ask you about the situation if there is anything."

But Yang Heng said at this time: "I'm afraid I will go abroad recently, and I can't stay in the Taoist temple for a long time."

Liu Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this, then he stared closely at Yang Heng and said, "I hope that you, Taoist priest, will temporarily cancel the trip and cooperate with the police investigation."

Yang Heng saw that the other party's tone was tough, so he stopped insisting, but he still asked: "I can temporarily cancel the trip, but I can't never go anywhere, you have to give me some time."

Liu Tao thought for a while, and then replied: "Well, you stay here honestly for a month, and after a month, you can move freely."

Yang Heng nodded helplessly and said, "Well, it can only be like this."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Liu Tao said with satisfaction: "You don't need to have any psychological burden, Daoist Yang, we are just doing a routine investigation."

Then Liu Tao left with a few police officers, and Yang Heng personally sent them out of the Taoist temple.

Looking at Liu Tao who was going away, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Yang Heng's mouth.

You are so capable, can you really find out about me?

Unless you have also cultivated the body of an earth immortal, and you have to change the laws of the mainland to include killing ghosts and gods within the scope of legal punishment, otherwise I am an innocent person.

At this time, Liu Tao, who had already walked a certain distance, frowned tightly.

"Boss, I don't think there is anything wrong with this Taoist priest. Since he dared to ask us to check the surveillance, it should be because he didn't go to Xujiabao last night. Why do you want him not to leave soon?"

Liu Tao sighed, and then said: "Although there is no evidence, I always suspect that there is something wrong with this Taoist priest, because when I met him just now, this Taoist priest's eyes were a little dodgy, probably because he was afraid of meeting us."

Liu Tao is also a veteran criminal police officer for many years. Yang Heng's dodge just now reminded him of the eyes of those criminals when they suddenly saw the police in the past.

Is there really a problem with this Taoist priest?When thinking of this, Liu Tao immediately ordered several policemen nearby.

"After you go back, go through all the surveillance cameras in Xujiabao again. I don't believe that any invisible person can escape the surveillance cameras."

In fact, Liu Tao didn't want to be so troublesome, because if he did so, he might make things worse, and it would also violate the instructions of the county officials just now.

But as a criminal policeman, his conscience prevented him from just letting go of this matter.

The other two policemen looked at each other, and finally nodded. They still believed in their boss, because in many cases before, the boss had to find clues and finally solve the case.

"Yes, let's go back and check the surveillance immediately."

Chapter 492

Three days passed in a flash. On this day, Liu Tao was listening to the report of his subordinates in the office.

"Boss, I have checked all the monitoring, and there is no useful clue."

Liu Tao hurriedly asked: "Have you looked carefully? Is there really no Taoist priest on the surveillance?"

"Boss, several of us have carefully checked the nearby surveillance cameras twice, and we haven't found the shadow of Daoist Yang ascending to the sky."

Hearing this, Liu Tao sat on the chair again, knocking on the table with his hands, and the shadow of Yang Heng kept turning in his mind.

After thinking about it for the past few days, Liu Tao felt that Yang Heng's suspicion was getting bigger and bigger.

Since Boss Yang came to the mainland, he has no enemies in investing and doing business, and he is kind to others. He has a very good reputation in Xujiabao, and the only person who has offended him is Daoist Yang.

While he was thinking, the door of the office opened, and a beautiful police lady walked in with a document.

"Boss, the test results are back."

Speaking of this, the police lady handed the information in her hand to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao took the materials, flipped through them casually, and asked, "Tell me about the situation."

"Yes." The police lady agreed, then cleared her throat, and said again: "After comparing the test results, the various blood and biological residues in the nails of the old man surnamed Yu can definitely be the work of several bodyguards. .”

When talking about this, the police lady frowned again, and finally said: "According to the autopsy, the biological residue in the mouth of the old man surnamed Yu is the heart tissue of two bodyguards."

A policeman next to him heard a cold war and said, "This old man is not mentally ill, is he? He even eats people."

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Tao reprimanded, and then I opened the file in my hand again and read it carefully.

Finally, he put the document on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "I know about this matter, you can check the details of that Taoist Yang for me."

"The matter of the boss is very obvious. All the evidence points to the old man Yu who committed suicide. Why do you want to investigate that Taoist Yang?"

Liu Tao sighed, and then said: "I always have some ominous premonitions. This Taoist Yang has a big problem."

While they were researching, the phone on the desk rang.

Liu Tao picked up the phone and asked, "I'm Liu Tao, who are you?"

As a result, a grumpy voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Okay, Liu Tao, do you still have an organization in your eyes, is there any law?"

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Tao stood up immediately, and then I said, "It's you, the director, what caused such a big fuss?"

"Why do you think I'm making such a big fuss? Isn't the evidence in Boss Yang's case already very sufficient? Why are you delaying?"

"The director is like this. Although the evidence has already pointed to old man Yu, I still suspect that there is something hidden in it that we don't know, so I want to investigate again."

"Investigate what? Now the senior officials have called me again to urge me. Let me tell you, since the evidence is all ready, close the case for me quickly, don't dawdle."

After saying this, the director's phone was hung up.

Seeing that he had hung up the phone, Liu Tao let out a long breath, and then said depressingly: "This case is over, send the case files to the procuratorate."

The people below looked at each other and nodded quickly.

After they all left the office, Liu Tao sat on a chair thinking about what had happened in the past few days, and finally stood up fiercely, put on his hat and walked out of the office.

He didn't go home, but drove directly to Xujiabao again.

This person really has a bit of a donkey temper, and the thing he believes is that even nine cows can't be pulled back.

This time Liu Tao did not go to the villa to investigate the scene again, but started to visit the nearby villagers, asking if he heard any strange sounds that night?

After visiting several villagers, Liu Tao really found some clues.

It turns out that you were in a villager's house near the villa. He heard an old man say: "I am old and sleep lightly. When I woke up in the middle of the night that night, I heard lightning and thunder in the direction of the villa. I still felt It's strange, how come there is thunder in that one place, but there is no sound in other places."

When he was talking about this, the old man took a sharp puff of the tobacco in his hand, "I put on my clothes, went out to the roof of my house, looked from a distance, and found that the direction was covered by lightning. .”

Liu Tao was very surprised to hear this, he had never heard of being shrouded in lightning.

"Old man, can you describe to me the scene at that time?"

"It's hard to say, I can only say that those lightning bolts are like a fence, and the villa is firmly surrounded."

Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something terrible again, took a deep puff of the dry cigarette, and then calmed down his emotions, and then said: "At that time, I saw a sparrow or some kind of bird approaching the villa. He was instantly turned into ashes by electricity."

Liu Tao also felt strange when he heard this. Could it be that the thunder and lightning in the sky have already grown their brains to know what they are going to do?

At the same time, there seemed to be a layer of mist in Liu Tao's heart, which was blown away by the wind, and an inspiration came into his mind.

Could it be that Daoist Yang really had some strange ability to cast a spell to surround that direction with lightning.

When thinking of this, Liu Tao also felt that his thoughts were a bit absurd, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that this was the truth of the matter.

Liu Tao bid farewell to these villagers, followed the path again, and arrived in front of Dengtian Temple.

When he came here, the first thing he saw was the solitary grave next to Dengtian Temple.

In the past, Boss Yang sent someone to clean up the grave, but now he hasn't seen him for a few days, and the grass on the grave has grown tall.

At this moment, the door of Dengtianguan opened, and Yang Heng came out from inside. He saw Liu Tao standing outside, and frowned. Did this guy come to trouble him again?

Liu Tao also saw Yang Heng coming out, his eyes flickered, and he walked towards Yang Heng with a smile.

"Daoist Yang, how are you doing these few days?"

"Haha, what's so good? Being stuck here every day is no different from going to jail."

"You don't have to complain, Daoist Yang. The investigation is almost done. I can probably close the case by asking you a few more questions."

"Then ask Officer Liu to ask."

Liu Tao organized his language, and then said: "I heard that you Taoists can call wind and rain, and drive ghosts and gods, is it true?"

Hearing this, Yang Heng looked at Liu Tao as if he was looking at a fool, and finally said with pity: "Officer Liu, you have to believe in science, not these feudal superstitions."
