Chapter 46: Incense Sticks
Zhao Shu immediately understood, hugged Lu Li and jumped onto the wall.
There is still no sun today, the sky is gloomy, although it is on the wall, but as long as Zhao Shu is careful enough and does not move too much, he will not attract attention.
He used the trees next to the wall to cover his figure, scanned the surroundings to observe the terrain, and quickly determined a direction, "Start with this side first." β
Lu Li has no opinion, anyway, he just wants to see what the people on duty have and whether there are any doubts, "Okay, it's all up to you." β
How to say that he lived in the temple for a few days, and because of the attention of the Huang County Order of "King Ping's fiancΓ©e", Lu Li was familiar with his face in the temple, and many people had seen it. Being held by Zhao Shu and looking at these monks from a high place in the dark, Lu Li felt very wonderful, and he could see many things that he didn't usually notice more clearly.
For example, the young monk who carried water seemed to have some high and low shoulders? The shoes under your feet are worn out so strictly, is the treatment too low and you have been bullied?
For example, the fat monk who wiped the Buddha statue scolded after accidentally falling, obviously his temper was not as peaceful as usual, because there was no one around him, so his nature was exposed?
β¦β¦
But no matter what, these people should ......, "No martial arts, right?" β
He looked back at Zhao Zhu.
Zhao Zhu slightly bowed his head, "Martial arts will not be so wolfy." β
"Then let's keep looking." Lu Li sighed in his heart, he said that Buddhism is a pure land, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, no matter how detached the disciples of Buddhism are, they can't get rid of their nature, and there will be open and secret battles in the outside world, and there will be there here, but the range is much smaller......
I continued to look at it like this, until a young monk holding a broom appeared in view, and Lu Li tugged at Zhao Shu's sleeve and motioned him to stop.
Zhao Zhu landed in a remote, imperceptible position and asked in a low voice, "Is it him?" β
Lu Li pondered, "I don't know, the evidence has not clearly indicated who the murderer is, and they haven't found the murder weapon Uncle Zhang with that special mark, I just think that every time he appears, he is very ...... Subtle, so ......"
He looked at Zhao Zhu, his eyes were quiet and well-behaved.
Zhao Shu understood, "So you want to know if he can do martial arts?" β
Lu Li nodded and smiled out of his little tiger teeth.
"If he knows martial arts, he will be discovered if he gets too close." Zhao Zhu's expression was arrogant, and there was a slight hint of disgust in his eyes, Lu Li immediately understood that Zhao Shu was naturally no problem alone, but with him, who didn't know martial arts, he would definitely be discovered.
Lu Li's eyes darkened, and he said regretfully, "Then you go and ...... by yourself."
"No," Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows at Lu Li, "I have a way." β
Lu Li was immediately happy again, his eyes flashing, "What's the way?" β
Zhao Shu snorted, picked him up and flew away.
Lu Li: ...... Well, tsundere again.
But as long as he can participate, he doesn't mind at all, he has already seen through Zhao Zhu's donkey temperament, and he just coaxed it.
Zhao Zhu hugged Lu Li and ran out quickly, put Lu Li on the wall, fell down alone, looked around for a while, and began to act.
He...... Quickly dig a pit in the road, then cover it with grass roots, and quickly turn around.
The speed of this qiΔ was quite fast, and Lu Li was dumbfounded. He didn't see what tools Zhao Shu used, so he used those two claws, and somehow he got it, just dig two holes, and the width and depth were four inches. In the blink of an eye, the floating soil was covered, and it looked the same as before digging!
Zhao Zhu also put the handkerchief very presciently, dug out the soil on the handkerchief, dug a pocket of the handkerchief, and there was not even a soil mark on the side......
Lu Li didn't know if this idea was appropriate, he felt that Zhao Zhu seemed to be used to this? This method this speed, this qiΔ after the completion of the neat Cheng dΓΉ on the body, obviously well-trained!
Zhao Shu coughed twice at the burning gaze, "I guess I did it in the army before?" β
Lu Li: ...... All right.
After that, the two men crouched at the end of the wall, waiting.
After a long while, Hongran walked slowly with a broom.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Zhu with appreciation: Your expected line is very correct.
Zhao Shu snorted coldly: Of course, the map of the temple is too simple for this king.
Hongran, like usual, is relaxed and unhurried, which matches his slightly shy personality. Lu Li waited a little anxiously, hurry up, go faster, hurry up!
Soon, Hongran walked near the pit that Zhao Shu had dug, and he stopped.
Lu Li's heart is hanging in his throat, he won't be discovered!
Zhao Zhu pinched his wrist: I underestimate this king!
Hongran stood up and continued walking.
Lu Li realized that Hongran had just tidied up the corners of his trousers......
Hongran's foot finally stepped on the pit.
Lu Li waited for him to fall, or...... Such a scene!
Hongran's body suddenly jumped up, and he made a beautiful little turn in the air!
He knows martial arts!!
From such a distance, you can clearly see his figure crossing the arc in the air, and landing safely, the movements are beautiful and perfect, and the martial arts must not be low!
He must be the murderer!
Lu Li thought back to the facts of the case, and there were three difficulties in this case: first, how to poison Shun, second, how to deal with the corpse, and third, how to avoid the attention of the temple. Hongran is young, not tall, very thin, shy and sincere, does not like to talk, and does not have the slightest appearance of danger. If there is any accident with the five deceased eating, it is logical that they will threaten a little monk like Hongran when they are lazy to look for it again. Hongran used his harmless appearance to confuse the other party, sent a spiced drink, and then silently hidden, waiting for the prey to be poisoned.
He had to deal with the princess for a person who coveted the treasures of the cemetery, and after making sure that the punishment given was sufficient, he killed the person and disposed of the corpse scene. As long as the killing is smooth, the latter are used to it, and the probability of being found is very low......
Hongran landed safely and paused for a moment, then turned around.
Lu Li's eyes widened, and he subconsciously grabbed Zhao Zhu, leaned over and lowered his voice, "Will he find out that the pit is artificial!" β
Zhao Shu stepped back and distanced himself a little, "Don't underestimate me too much." β
Lu Li saw Hongran squatting down and looking at the pit, quickly clapped his hands and stood up, holding a broom, calmly and slowly leaving.
Lu Li exhaled......
"Even if we suspect him, it's not easy to arrest him now, we have no evidence." Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, "But we will have a ...... soon"
He took the initiative to hug Zhao Shu and urged him to set off, "Let's go back, right away!" β
Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows, as if he had endured something, did not speak, and quickly rushed back to the door of the side hall.
Shen Wansha was a little excited when he saw them, "Where did you two sneak away, and you disappeared as soon as you turned around!" β
Lu Li patted his head, "Don't make trouble, get down to business." β
Shen Wansha touched his head and his little face bulged, but he was not angry, "I want to leave too, Uncle Wang's confession is not interesting at all, it is not exciting." β
"You'll be able to see the excitement later...... Lu Li swept the room, and saw that the Daniel Zhang was not far from the temple gate, and he was overjoyed. He quietly walked over, dragged Daniel Zhang, and whispered a few words to him.
Daniel Zhang's eyes instantly widened, with doubts inside, and his breathing was a little short.
Lu Li nodded at him with a stern face.
Daniel Zhang exhaled, quietly turned to the Huang County Order case, and whispered a few words in the past.
Huang Xianling's expression did not change, and he only stopped for a moment, then nodded with Daniel Zhang.
Lu Li knew that it was done.
Daniel Zhang quietly took a few catchers out of the side hall, and after a while, brought all the monks on duty with him.
Huang Xian Ling waved his hand to let the warrior monks disperse and wait aside, looked at the newly brought monks, smiled and said slowly, "Today, the official asked about the case, and as usual, he should ask all the people in the temple, so as not to delay your errand, I have relieved it, and I have only called you over to reply now." When asked later, it was necessary to report the truth. β
Several monks did not know the inside story, but they had already been instructed by the abbot to tell the truth when asked, and now they put their hands together, indicating that they knew everything and said everything.
Huang County ordered Wang Dexing, "You come and ask." β
Wang Dexing stepped forward and saluted, his back straight, "Yes, my lord." β
Wang Dexing's confession transcript in his hand was very long, it would take a long time to finish all the questions, and the delay was enough, there was nothing to see here, so Lu Li dragged Zhao Shu and Shen Wansha and Daniel Zhang away.
What is Daniel Zhang going to do? According to Lu Lijian, search Hongran's room.
Through the autopsy, it can be inferred that the murderer committed the crime and his personality characteristics, but when the evidence is insufficient, it is not enough to convict the murderer, as long as the murder weapon can be found from Hongran's room...... He won't be able to run!
Hongran has to have a murder weapon to kill, and special tools are needed to create signs on the deceased. He is a grave keeper, he has to linger here all his life, and he has little trust in people, so he should not hide the murder weapon too far, which will make him feel insecure. The ancient metal art was not developed, especially sharp iron tools, weapons, and even less circulation, in a small place like Shanyang County, any weapon appeared very eye-catching, he would not take risks......
If he is the murderer, the murder weapon must be nearby!
Daniel Zhang was more cautious, anyway, Huang Xian ordered all the monks to be outside the side hall to delay time, just in time for a large-scale search. He called all his colleagues who didn't need to stay outside the hall, and asked that all the nearby rooms be searched except for Hongran's room.
Lu Li and his party followed Daniel Zhang, focusing on searching Hongran's room, but unfortunately there was no result after searching around.
Zhao Shu was not surprised, the person who could do such a murder must be extremely cunning and cautious, if he was searched out, it would be abnormal. Seeing that Lu Li, Shen Wansha, and Daniel Zhang's expression was too solemn, he crossed his palms and relaxed his fingers, helping to tap on the wall and floor, and listened carefully to see if he could find any dark grids.
Everyone is busy.
Time passed little by little, Lu Li's heart was getting higher and higher, no matter how long the Huang County Order could be delayed, it couldn't be delayed for too long, and when they came back, they still couldn't find the murder weapon, Hongran knew that he was suspected, and he might consider escaping......
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden loud noise in the room, and Lu Li turned his head and saw Shen Wansha standing stiffly by the wall, staring at a pool of broken pottery shards at his feet.
Seeing that everyone had seen it, Shen Wansha scratched his head in annoyance, "This incense tube pattern is very beautiful, I want to pick it up and take a look, but I accidentally ...... I didn't mean to......"
If the murder weapon is not found, and other people's things are broken, it is indeed a bit offensive, Lu Li sighed, "It's okay, if the murderer is not him, we will apologize and ......" Before the words fell, his eyes unexpectedly fell on the debris on the ground, and he was stunned for a while.
This is a pottery incense stick, and as the name suggests, it is used to hold incense sticks. The incense sticks of Ciguang Temple are all dark brown, dyed bright yellow and bright, the main material of these incense is wood powder or toner, there is no bamboo core in the middle, it is easy to break, and the storage needs to be very careful.
The incense tube fell to the ground and broke, the incense stick fell out and broke, it was normal, the only thing that was not normal was that there was a very strong incense stick in the pile of debris, it was very complete, it was not broken at all!
Lu Li felt strange, squatted down to pick up the incense, as soon as the incense started, he felt that it was wrong, this incense was cold to the touch, with a sense of weight, different from the general incense.
He immediately took the incense in front of his eyes and took a closer look......
In just a moment, a happy color appeared on his face, where is this incense, this is a wire!
The thickness is the same as the incense stick, and the color of the lacquer is similar to the incense stick, but it is not broken when it is folded, and the hardness is very high, which is not an ordinary iron wire!
Looking at the two ends again, one end has a flat section and you can't see anything, but the other end has a mark that is very obvious, which is the 'x' that always appears on corpses these days!
"I found it!" Lu Li immediately raised the wire in his hand, "This is the murderer's tool to make markers!" β
At the same time, Zhao Zhu also spoke, "I found it, there is a hidden compartment under the bed, and there is a long knife hidden." "Tricksters
