Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

When Wen Tao woke up, it was close to Haishi.When he opened his eyes, Tang Wuyi was sorting out the notes under the lamp.Wen Tao got up and made a sound, Tang Wuyi hurried over and said worriedly: "Finally woke up." He tested the temperature of Wen Tao's forehead with his hand, and finally felt relieved, "The fever has subsided."

Wen Tao saw that his middle clothes had been changed into Shaolin clothes, and said to Tang Wuyi embarrassedly, "Thank you."

Tang Wuyi pretended to have a straight face: "If you are weak, don't be brave. You fell directly into the mountain stream. If you hit a rock, Master Ji will come to see me with a sword."

Wen Tao said softly: "The fall was accidental, but when I was in the air, I used light work to slightly adjust the position where I fell into the water."

Tang Wuyi asked again: "Then how can you swim?"

Wen Tao proudly said: "When I was young, I was playful and fell into the ice pool in Kunlun. I almost killed half my life. Later, I practiced more and it will be fine."

Tang Wuyi smiled helplessly: "What is there to brag about?"

Wen Tao sighed, and the sigh came out of his mouth, so his cheeks were swollen for a moment: "It's true that I haven't been to the ice pool for a long time, and I caught a cold not long after I fell into the water this time."

Tang Wuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to get back to business and said, "How do you know the corpse is in the cave?"

"Oh? Found the bodies? Both of them?" Wen Tao was wrapped in a quilt, his eyes sparkling.

"Well, tell me first, how do you know." Tang Wuyi said seriously.

Wen Tao sat on the bed, changed into a more comfortable position, and said, "When I saw a hole in the water, a thought flashed through me that Xuanyi's body might have been washed out of the cave and flowed into the mountain stream. Among them, it was discovered by us."

"Then why were you fine for more than a month?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"Because of the rain. For more than a month, it was mainly sunny, but recently there has been more rain." Wen Tao said, "The water in the cave is connected to the stream in the mountain stream. Before, the water in the cave was very shallow, and the corpse It was very safe to put it in the cave. Later, it rained and the water level rose. The place where the corpse was placed was submerged in the water and washed out with the current. As for the other two corpses, since the first one was placed in the cave it was safe. , the other two are most likely also inside."

Tang Wuyi suddenly realized: "I didn't expect the rain. The night before we found the body, we talked with each other all night, and the rain fell fast and densely all night. Then how do you know that there are other things in that cave?" exit?"

Wen Tao said: "I'm just guessing, but I'm not completely sure. If there is only an underwater exit, it will be very troublesome to transport the corpse, and the murderer will easily be suspected when he comes back soaked. So I guess there is another way out of the cave. The exit to the land, and the murderer of this exit must be disguised so that no one will find out, so I ask you to use your internal strength to test it out."

Tang Wuyi patted Wen Tao with a smile: "In this regard, I feel ashamed. If it was only me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to find this place where the corpse is hidden."

Wen Tao asked, "What about the other two corpses?"

A trace of gloom flashed across Tang Wuyi's face, and he frowned: "It is indeed Xuan Jing and Xuan Ding. There are many traumas on his body, it seems that he was beaten | humiliated before his death."

Wen Tao said in amazement: "That's similar to Xuanyi's situation."

Tang Wuyi shook his head lightly: "Although Xuanyi's body can be seen to be traumatized, after all, it's too rotten to see clearly. As for Xuanjing and Xuanding..." Tang Wuyi frowned, "Taotao, you can meet again tomorrow. Let's go and see, it's too late today, even though your fever has subsided, you'd better take a rest, and you can investigate the case tomorrow."

Wen Tao nodded obediently, and Tang Wuyi handed over a bowl of porridge and said, "Hurry up and eat something."

While eating, Wen Tao's mind was still spinning rapidly, and asked Tang Wuyi, "Tang Yue, do you think the cave where the corpse is hidden is the scene of the murder?"

According to Wen Tao's previous thinking, the key to this case lies in the murder scene and the corpse hiding place. Now that the corpse hiding place has been found, the murder scene is still uncertain.

Tang Wuyi said: "According to the state of the deceased, he was beaten|humiliated during his lifetime, so he should be in a relatively hidden place. From this point of view, it is more reasonable to use a cave as a murder scene. However, although this cave is near the back mountain of Shaolin , but what reason did you use to invite the three Shaolin disciples here after the time of Xu?"

Wen Tao nodded and said: "That's right, in other words, what do Xuan Yi, Xuan Jing and Xuan Ding have in common? They learn from different elders, different grades, and different lengths of time in the temple. Even if they are high-ranking and powerful people in the temple , Calling them to the cave in the back mountain late at night is also very suspicious."

"What's more," Tang Wuyi cast a shadow between his brows, "Motive. What is the reason for treating the three of them like this? Especially Xuan Ding, since he is appointed by Master Mingli to inherit the mantle, his character is obvious to all. Who on earth has such deep hatred for them?"

Wen Tao asked softly, "What did the elders in the temple say?"

"Master Mingli almost smashed the table in the Dharma hall on the spot..." Tang Wuyi said, his own knuckles were also slightly crackling.

Wen Tao thought to himself, Master Mingli is the most upright, how could he endure such humiliation for his disciples, Tang Wuyi probably couldn't let it go, so he thought for a while and said: "What about Master Mingkong?"

"He was smooth and looked very sad."

Wen Tao said: "As you said, his accounts still need to be checked."

The two talked for a while, and Tang Wuyi seemed to still have something on his mind when it was almost the time of the child.Wen Tao asked tentatively: "Tang Yue, in the Dongdu Pavilion, if a man was intentionally humiliated to death, how would he be convicted?"

The lines on Tang Wuyi's face are sharp, and at this moment, he is the sage that makes the world frightened.Wen Tao understands that although he is usually bright and loves to laugh, he is never ambiguous about right and wrong. It seems that the Shaolin disciple who died this time has touched his bottom line.

"Such scumbags will be killed without mercy." Tang Wuyi said harshly.

"Tang Yue, I'm a little curious. Do you need the approval of Shen Ce to finalize the case in Dongdu Pavilion?" Wen Tao asked.

Tang Wuyi sneered and said, "No need."

"Why?"

"Dongdu Pavilion is an institution established by Tiance back then. Tiance never interfered with the decision of Dongdu Pavilion, and only restrained it with the laws of Tiance. Although Dongdu Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Shence, it will not rashly touch Dongdu Pavilion. Rules of conduct." Tang Wuyi said.

"What is Tiance Law?"

Tang Wuyi looked at Wen Tao, but his face softened and said: "You should rest first, you don't need to worry about these things. I am already very grateful that you are willing to help me."

"Tang Yue, I..." Wen Tao wanted to say something, but Tang Wuyi shook his head lightly, and said softly, "I'll come to you tomorrow morning."

Wen Tao slept all day, but he wasn't sleepy at all.Wearing Shaolin's middle coat, it became more and more difficult for him to calm down, tossing and turning on the bed, until the cold white moonlight in front of the window dissipated little by little, and then slowly fell into a sound sleep.
