I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

68 Follow the Cozy Tour

Looking at the blood stains on Mingda's body, Jiang Lin felt that the matter was not simple.He asked Mingda to lead the way, and rushed to the door of the hut where the abbot lived with a group of monks.

That house is a wonder in Qinglong Temple, its structure is very unique, the lower part is elevated, there is a stream flowing through the gap, and the location is also very special, almost half of it is erected outside the cliff.

There was so much commotion outside that the monks and travelers staying in the dormitory also followed the flow of people and surrounded them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried to Jiang Lin's side and said, "What happened?"

Jiang Lin looked at Mingda, who said in panic, "I, I just came to the abbot with brother Ming Qi to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's chanting meeting, but saw that the abbot who used to meditate alone in the Linshui building was covered in blood. There was a knife stuck in the chest..."

Jiang Lin and his group had already entered the room while he was speaking, and saw that the futon in the middle of the room was covered with bloodstains, and there were a few mottled footprints around, but there were no consistent traces.

And the bloodstained direction led to the only window facing the cliff.

"You guys don't come here yet, protect the traces of the scene." Jiang Lin walked to the window, and saw that the window sill and the outer wall were also stained with blood, and his heart sank.

A monk said: "Benefactor, you..."

Bai Yutang stopped the others who wanted to approach the room, and said, "Just listen to him. The person in front of you is the second in command of Dali Temple, the famous Jiang Da Tuiguan in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he is used to handling cases."

It wasn't true that the monks kept their ears to the outside world. Hearing what Bai Yutang said, they all knew that Jiang Lin was the famous Jiang Shaoqing in the Kaifeng mansion recently.

He turned around, looked at the bloody clothes on Mingda's body, and said, "Little master, are you the one who left the footprints beside the futon?"

Mingda's eyes trembled, and he said, "Yes, my disciple stepped forward to check the situation of the abbot, and found that he, he had already died, so the disciple immediately went to call for someone. Brother, brother didn't go forward at that time, but he also saw the abbot It looks like he was stabbed in the chest..."

He turned his head, and the young monk with a pale face behind him also nodded, and it should be the senior brother Ming Qi he was talking about.

Seeing Ming Qi holding a lock in his hand, Jiang Lin asked, "Then have you ever left here? Where did the abbot go?"

"The poor monk suddenly heard the bad news, he couldn't accept it for a while, he didn't dare to be with the abbot... He only locked the door from the outside, and hurried to find someone..." Ming Qi opened his eyes wide and murmured in disbelief He muttered, "There is only one way to get in and out of this courtyard, and the abbot's body disappeared out of thin air in such a short period of time, do you suspect that I pushed him off the cliff?!"

Zhan Zhao frowned when he heard the words, Bai Yutang clung to his words: "How do you know that the abbot's body is under the cliff?!"

"Look! You guys are just trying to trick me!" Ming Qi roared with an unstable mental state, "I have closed this room from the outside, but when I opened the door, there was no abbot's body. The side is still full of blood, where else can the abbot's body go except under the cliff?! But I didn't, I didn't do it..."

Some people thought that Ming Qi’s words were a little bit 300 taels of silver here, so they couldn’t help reminding: “But this is just your one-sidedness. We saw that you opened the door with the key, but who knows if you pushed the abbot down before locking the door? Where is it?"

Ming Qi was about to jump again, Ming Da quickly hugged his arm, and comforted him: "Senior brother, don't be like this, Master Jiang has not yet made a conclusion, so don't worry..."

Jiang Lin glanced at Ming Qi's anxious look, and said, "Then can this master take off his shoes and socks and let Jiang take a look?"

"This..." Ming Qi suddenly hesitated, and the surrounding monks also showed embarrassment.Mingda wrinkled his nose and persuaded: "Brother, just take it off."

Ming Qi had no position to refuse the inspection request from Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he took off his shoes, and an indescribable smell immediately wafted in the room.

Jiang Lin almost rolled his eyes, covered his nose and said patiently, "Take off your socks too."

Ming Qi frowned and took off his socks, only to see that the socks that were supposed to be plain had turned yellow, and they were higher than his pair of mud-stained shoes when they were placed beside him. The first biological weapon.

Jiang Lin felt that his eyes were about to burst into tears, but he still endured and walked two steps forward. After confirming that Ming Qi's feet were still smelly, he said, "Put it on, it's fine, you probably haven't been in it before. In this room—there's no mud on your shoes, no blood on your feet and socks, and no sign of washing."

"Why can't it be that he has washed his feet? He may have just sweated and his feet became so smelly." Bai Yutang held his nose tightly, "But he really doesn't know how to do light work..."

Jiang Lin couldn't explain to him why the smell was not foot sweat but bacteria, so he could only say: "It took less than a quarter of an hour from when they found the body to when we arrived at the scene of the crime. Do you think if this Ming Qi had ever Take off your shoes and enter the house, avoiding the many bloodstains on the ground, will we not notice..."

Combined with Ming Qi's hard-core foot odor, Jiang Lin's explanation seemed very convincing. Everyone accepted his statement, but they still looked at Ming Qi with a very oppressive gaze, and waved their sleeves trying to drive away the people around him. Dirty air.

Ming Qi Mingming was relieved of his grievances, but he didn't feel any relief at all.

But Jiang Lin's thoughts had already returned to the case, and he only thought that if all the testimony of Ming Da and Ming Qi were taken as true, then there would still be many strange things in this case.

He went back to the window and called Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao over: "If the door was really locked by Ming Qi, could it be that someone came in through the only window and took the abbot away?" Corpse?"

The mouse and the cat glanced at the bottomless cliff under the window, and Bai Yutang sneered, "The rock wall below is wet and slippery. If that person came from below, this lightness skill is rare in the world. If he came from the roof Turn into this small window, and then turn out again..."

Bai Yutang touched the window frame and said, "Then the soles of this person's shoes are clean enough, not even a little bit of blood or dust."

What he meant was that if that Ming Qi hadn't lied, it would take a peerless expert to throw the abbot's body out of the window.

Jiang Lin's heart sank when he heard the words, and when he was about to say something, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Is something wrong with the abbot of the temple? If it is sick, there is a doctor right here who can help to check the abbot's condition..."

Jiang Lin went out to take a look, and saw Xie Ling walking up the steps, followed by the so-called doctor, who was Yunshu, their little servant from Dali Temple.

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised and asked, "Why did Judge Xie appear here? Miss Yun Shu is here too?"

"Guard Zhan, Jiang Shaoqing, you are here too. Well, Miss Yunshu came here to worship Buddha, and the official just wanted to come to listen to the chanting meeting these days, so he gave her a ride in a carriage..." Xie Ling touched Touching the center of her eyebrows, she changed the subject and said, "Hey, the smell of blood in this room is so strong, is there a case? Do you want Miss Yunshu to go and see?"

"The corpse is gone, you can go and see the blood first." Jiang Lin frowned, he really lacked an assistant who could confirm the blood trace, so he turned sideways to let Yun Shu in.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Wen Qing and Yu's couple who had been staying in the small courtyard.Xie Ling also followed Jiang Lin's line of sight and saw the three of them.

As if there was some kind of magnetic field induction between the people, the air in the mountains became a little quiet for a while.

Looking at Wen Qing's slightly raised eyebrows, Jiang Lin understood that the other party also had the same ominous premonition in his heart.

Jiang Lin's Adam's apple moved slightly, looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and said softly, "Maybe I'm going to cause you trouble."

After finishing speaking, he turned to everyone, knowing that what he said was full of flags, but he still had to say: "Please stay in your room tonight and don't go anywhere."

·

After such a big incident happened, the way down the mountain was blocked again, and everyone in Qinglong Temple panicked.

But Jiang Lin still carefully understood the distribution of personnel in the temple, and arranged the monks who needed to guard the gate in groups of threes and twos.The accommodation is easier to arrange. The monks all live in one room and sleep in Datong bunk. The tourists also live in separate rooms according to gender, at least in groups of two.

He arranged Yun Shu and Yu Shi together, and taught Xie Ling and Wu Da to squeeze into one room. He didn't need to take care of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, he only needed to take care of his senior brother.

Back in the dormitory, after Wen Qing confirmed that there was no one around, he said softly to Jiang Lin: "The young master surnamed Xie must be the guardian of Suzaku's secret treasure."

Jiang Lin didn't ask him how he knew about this - the Four Elephant Legends knew each other's surnames, Jiang Lin had gone to Langzhou with Xie Ling before, and found the secret treasure of the Zhuque family "Nirvana" Phoenix".

Anyone who cares about secret treasures can guess Xie Ling's identity.

"Our situation can be said to be quite bad..." Jiang Lin murmured, "It's no wonder that those people in the Treading Snow Hall are so impatient to block the way down the mountain, I'm afraid they already know...Bai Hu, Suzaku, The descendants of Xuanwu and Qinglong secret treasures are all in this small temple."

Jiang Lin pressed his forehead.

It was because he didn't think carefully enough, he didn't expect that Tuxuetang knew them so deeply, and all the eggs were put into the small basket of Qinglong Temple.

Now the road down the mountain has been blocked, and another strange murder happened in the temple.

Even though the group of them had already realized that something was wrong, Jiang Lin had arranged many things well, but in this typical Snowstorm Villa mode, the enemy was in the dark, they were in the light, and their own situation was inherently at a disadvantage.

And after the abbot died, Fang Fang didn't do anything, which made Jiang Lin unable to figure out the other party's motive for killing.

Was it made by people from the Snow Stepping Hall?Is it just a coincidence?

Jiang Lin couldn't figure it out, so he had to guess what the abbot might have something to do with Qinglong's secret treasure, and had to wring his fingers to figure out who might be the perpetrator's next target... The guardians of the secret treasure were himself, Wen Qing, Xie Ling and Yu Shi, then Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are relatively safer, and the others have nothing to do with secret treasures...

Jiang Lin suddenly remembered something, turned to Wen Qing and said, "Brother, do you have any other descendants of the Wen family in Xiangyang?"

Wen Qing frowned and said, "No."

"Are you sure? The ancestral home of today's female widow is Xiangyang, and her surname is Wen..."

Wen Qing waved his hand and denied: "There are many people with the surname Wen in Xiangyang, but only the direct line can know the secret of the secret treasure. And you may not remember, the blood of the direct line has its own special features, I can be sure What's more, I am the only guardian of the Xuanwu lineage."

Hearing him say so calmly that he was the only one left in the family, Jiang Lin couldn't help but twitched in his heart, and said, "Senior brother, you should... hate Tuxue Tang very much. Sorry, I didn't I have already caught Ye Fengqiu, but my vigilance is not enough, so he sneaked out of the prison again..."

"As a cultivator, hatred should not be something I am obsessed with. You don't have to worry about it." Wen Qing was silent for a while, and then said, "But if there is a chance, I still want to grab that Ye Fengqiu with my own hands and fight with him." Settle an account between us."

Jiang Lin sighed slightly, extinguished the candle, and prepared to go to bed.

They are now in a predicament, and all they can do is wait patiently-the other party will not make them wait too long.

And as expected, the people hiding in the dark took action early the next morning.

A note was stuffed into everyone's room.

Jiang Lin read the content on it, and a chill suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet.

It never occurred to him that the first person the opponent targeted was Zhan Zhao.
