Taoist Master Qingxu quickly introduced: "Oh, our place is relatively remote, and there is no one around for four or five miles. Some donors who come to offer incense are more pious, so they have to stay here overnight. This is our security guard and head chef, Master Zhou. .Sometimes there are a lot of tourists, and they will do rituals with the two of us.”

Hou Xiyong couldn't help laughing when he heard it, it seems that although the sparrows are small, you have all internal organs.This little Taoist is the doorman, waiter and commentator.You are a master, temple congratulations, part-time ringing bells and chanting sutras, your business is quite extensive!

Jiao Yang looked at Master Zhou, "How many keys are there? What time do you usually lock the door?"

"Two."

Master Zhou said: "The Taoist priest has one, and I have one. It is usually locked at 10 o'clock in the evening, and I will open it at five or six o'clock the next morning. Sometimes there are no tourists and it will be closed earlier."

Jiao Yang thought for a while and said, "Did you both have your keys that day?"

Daoist Qingxu was stunned, "I, I didn't pay attention at that time, and I only found out that the key fell into the grass the next day during the day."

The answer...Jiao Yang looked carefully at Daoist Qingxu, "You just said that there were a few students who came with the deceased that day. What kind of people are they? Do you think there is anything wrong with any of them?"

Daoist Qingxu unconsciously brushed the stain on his chest with his hand, "No, no, right? The four of them just came here to play, to relax or something. They seem to have a good relationship, but something happened. That kid is very proud, he only talks to a fat guy, and doesn't pay much attention to other people."

Jiao Yang walked in while observing the expressions of these people.

Master Zhou looks gentle and simple, without too much expression.

The little Taoist Mingyi was innocent and innocent, but the Taoist priest Qingxu seemed a little slippery and nervous.

The pagoda is made of masonry and wood. The doors and windows of the stairs are all made of wood, and they are also brushed with copper oil, which is very easy to catch fire.There are traces of being scorched and blackened along the way, as well as remains left by splashed water and foam fire extinguishing agents.

The third floor, which caught fire first, was even more horrific.Jiao Yang understood at a glance why it was the easiest place to catch fire.The few wood branches left by the fire are lying on the ground in a haphazard manner, and they are the long-burning lamp holders for worship.

Jiao Yang turned his head and asked Taoist Master Qingxu, "Aren't the Chang Ming Lanterns enshrined in the main hall? Why are they here?"

Qingxu said mysteriously in an instant: "The other side of the main hall is to pray for the blessing of the City God. This is the lamp oil that my master asked the Taoist monk to light up, and it is only used for Zheng Zhuangyuan, so that he will not come out. Look for a substitute. You see, once this ever-bright lamp stand fell down, wouldn't something happen?!"

Yu Xiaoguang was speechless when he heard that, aren't you guys in a righteous dojo?Why did you hire an eminent monk again? !

Hou Xiyong was annoyed seeing Daoist Qingxu's babbling expression, and choked back: "Why is the City God looking for a substitute? Isn't this a typical example of setting fire to kill people? What were you all doing when the fire was on fire?"

"As I said just now, I was..."

Before Ming Yi could finish his sentence, he asked Jiao Yang to stop him, "Let's ask after we finish watching the scene. Daoist Qingxu, no one came up after the accident, right?"

"Not as far as we know."

Daoist Qingxu said with a look of lingering fear: "The police comrades here told us to seal up the scene. Besides, who would dare to come if someone died just now? The three of us dare not open the door. The tower has been locked for a while. on."

Jiao Yang nodded and signaled Hou Xiyong to look at the three of them, while he and Yu Xiaoguang checked carefully at the scene.

Before coming here, Jiao Yang had read the dossier several times.The first point of ignition was presumed to be the permanent lamp on the shelf, which ignited the curtains.But at this scene, it is really difficult to determine whether it was arson.

There are flammable materials everywhere in the temple. It is possible that the deceased accidentally touched the lampstand. This is an accident.The deceased intentionally knocked over the lampstand, which is suicide.There is also a possibility that someone put the candlestick on the curtain and caused a fire, which is intentional murder...

Even in broad daylight, a flashlight was still on in the stairs.Hou Xiyong stayed and stared at the remaining people, only Daoist Qingxu followed the two of them to lead the way.

The third floor was burned in a mess, except for the masonry floor, all the decorations inside were dilapidated.The curtains on both sides have only one bottom left.

Jiao Yang and Yu Xiaoguang searched from both sides, but found nothing suspicious.

Jiao Yang was about to go down when he saw a little reflection on the window.

Jiao Yang walked over and lay down in front of the window sill, looking carefully, but couldn't find anything reflecting the light.

Based on his experience, he turned his head back and forth, and suddenly saw a trace in the gap between the curtains.

Jiao Yang put on his gloves carefully, and leaned forward to look for a long time before he realized that the little transparent traces seemed to be plastic wrap.

Jiao Yang thought for a while, and motioned Yu Xiaoguang to lead Qingxu away.

Has this been discovered?Yu Xiaoguang understood, took Qingxu to the other side, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Master Daoist, I don't think this incident has anything to do with you, even if it wasn't an accident. I just want to ask, what do you think?" , what do you think is going on?"

Daoist Qingxu was taken aback when he heard that, "Comrade police officer, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Xiaoguang coughed and said, "Do you feel in your heart that who is suspicious here?"

Daoist Qingxu suddenly broke out in sweat, "This, I don't know..."

Only then did Jiao Yang take down the thinnest tweezers, put the sharp mouth in, pull out the little transparent fiber, and put it into a transparent evidence bag as quickly as possible.

After doing all this, Jiao Yang felt a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Then, Jiao Yang walked in front of them, nodded and said: "I think it's almost the same, let's go down."

After getting out of the Zhuangyuan Pagoda, Jiao Yang temporarily turned the tea room in the temple into an inquiry room, as usual, and asked Hou Xiyong to watch the other two people, and he called Taoist Master Qingxu to come in first. "

Jiao Yang said sternly: "According to the previous investigation, the time when everyone found the fire was 2:05 in the morning when the incident happened. The judged time of death was around 2:00 in the morning. So what were you doing between 00:00 and 4:00 that night?"

"me……"

Daoist Qingxu stammered and said, "I'm drinking with Master Zhou."

Yu Xiaoguang said: "Just the two of you, what kind of wine do you drink until 4 o'clock in the morning?"

"No, it's not."

Daoist Qingxu patted his forehead and said: "There was a ball game that night, starting at almost 12 o'clock. Isn't this sleepy? Master Zhou made two small dishes, and we watched while drinking. After the game was over, Master Zhou I packed my things and went back."

Jiao Yang asked: "During these two hours, have you been together? Has anyone gone out?"

Daoist Qingxu thought for a while and said: "During my break, I went to the toilet. Master Zhou went to see the fire, and we came back in about four or five minutes."

Jiao Yang said, "What time was it when you went out?"

Daoist Qingxu said: "Then you do the math! The intermission is about the same time, and the game is over at 12:55, and the two of us came back less than 1 o'clock."

Yu Xiaoguang said: "For such a long time, you really only went out for this trip?"

Daoist Qingxu thought for a long time before saying: "I'm sure not. I can't tell if Master Zhou didn't go out after that. I was a little confused when the show was about to end. Master Zhou pushed me to watch the ending."

Jiao Yang glanced at Yu Xiaoguang without any trace, and then asked, "What time is it?"

Daoist Qingxu smiled and said, "All the fans know about it, probably around 1:50."

Jiao Yang nodded and said, "Then call Mingyi in first."

When Ming Yi walked in, he saw two people sitting far away across from the tea room, with serious expressions on their faces.They came here to find the murderer... He was only 18 years old this year, he had never seen such a formation before, and he felt inexplicably flustered.

Jiao Yang waved his hand and said, "Mingyi, come and sit down, we're just here today to understand the situation, so don't be too nervous."

Only then did Mingyi walk over to them and sit down.

Yu Xiaoguang asked: "I heard that you were the first to discover the fire that day?"

"Yes."

Ming Yi said: "I slept in a daze that night, and suddenly I heard a scream. I was so scared that I got up and looked out the window. I felt that something was wrong. The window was red. I quickly opened the window, I saw that Zhuangyuan Pagoda was on fire. I saw that such a big fire, I must not be able to rely on myself, so I shouted loudly while putting on clothes, it was on fire.

When I ran to the champion tower, the whole tower turned red.At this time, Wang Jia and the others also ran over. When they wanted to go in, they saw that the door of Zhuangyuan Pagoda was locked, and asked me if I had the key.I didn't have this key, so another boy took an ax we used to repair the wooden door and wanted to break the lock to get in.

At this time, Master Zhou came, and he said that he couldn't go in because the fire was too big.But the two boys and girls were unwilling, and they had to go in. Master Zhou had no choice but to open the door with the key and told me to call the police. "

Yu Xiaoguang said: "Then you went in to fight the fire together?"

Ming Yi shook his head, "When I came back, I saw Wang Jia and the others were carrying buckets and basins, and wanted to pour water into them. Master Zhou kept blocking them and wouldn't let them in. Master and I I also went up to stop it. The fire was so big that the stairs were bursting with flames, and the tower was so dark that I couldn't see clearly as I went up. Soon the firefighters came and put out the fire, and I saw Wang Jia and the others. Classmates burned to death on the third floor."

Jiao Yang thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the relationship between Wang Jia and the four of them?"

It has been almost a month since the incident happened, and Mingyi recalled it for a long time before saying: "Wang Jia is the most easy-going, and the other boy is also okay. The classmate Zheng and the girl who had the accident were very arrogant. I don't think it's too good , the relationship between them. I feel that there is something wrong between Zheng and that girl."

Jiao Yang felt that it was almost done, so he asked Ming Yi to go out and call Master Zhou in.

Master Zhou walked in and sat down firmly opposite them, "Officer, what do you want to ask me?"

Jiao Yang said: "Master Zhou, how long have you been working here?"

"How long? Oh..."

Master Zhou replied: "It's almost a year."

Jiao Yang nodded and said, "Then please tell me what happened that night?"
