Chapter 118: Blood Spilled
Yin Seventeen didn't find any traces of blood in the chili field, so it can only mean that Xiao Zhi was moved here after his death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhan Yan looked at Yin Seventeen, who was squatting down on Xiao Zhi's right hand, and pointed to the strange lip shape on Xiao Zhi's face and said:
"See? This is the lip shape that the murderer specially painted on Xiao Zhi, do you think it looks like Xiao Zhi is smiling? ”
The red lips are bright and bright, and the corners of Xiao Zhi's lips that have not been smiling are deliberately drawn up high by the red lip color, just like a person who naturally rises when he laughs.
Yin Seventeen said: "The murderer deliberately created Miss Ying's tears when she died, which represents crying!" and deliberately drew the corners of Xiaozhi's mouth on both sides, which represents laughter! One cried, the other laughed, and the first victim, Bai Lanzhi, was ......"
Zhan Yan continued: "Sleep! Whether it is the black cloth that represents the night, or the oil lamp that has been lit, or the demeanor of Bai Lanzhi lying on the table when she died, it all shows that the scene specially created by the murderer is to tell us that Bai Lanzhi is sleeping peacefully! ”
Yin Qiqi nodded and said: "Yes, Bai Lanzhi is sleeping, Miss Ying is crying, Xiaozhi is laughing, three scenes, the three mood states that the murderer wants to express, and in these three scenes, there is only one protagonist from beginning to end, which can be seen from the clothes and embroidered shoes that the murderer deliberately put on the three deceased, and we can extend some things from all this......"
Judging from the previous assumption that the protagonists in the scene are Jiang Long'er, then things should be like this.
The first scene - Twenty years ago, Jiang Longer waited for candles in her boudoir "attic", but she did not wait for the person to wait, but she did not give up, but waited until she fell asleep on the table unconsciously, and the oil lamp was lit until dawn, never extinguished.
The second scene - Jiang Long'er came to Qianguang Temple for some reason, and because for some reason, the monks in Qianguang Temple did not let Jiang Long'er enter the door, Jiang Long'er did not give up cowardly, she knelt in front of the temple gate, her eyes kept open and looked at the temple gate not far ahead, her heart was sad because of something, and when she knelt in front of the temple gate, her face kept tears.
The third scene - Jiang Long'er finally entered the Qianguang Temple, and picked chili peppers in the vegetable garden in the mountain behind the Qianguang Temple, her face was no longer full of tears, but with a smile, obviously she was very happy in the vegetable garden.
After listening to Yin Seventeen say that there is an assumption about Jiang Long'er twenty years ago in the three scenes, Zhan Yan thought for a while and said:
The last scene shows that Jiang Long'er should indeed enter the Qianguang Temple, whether as a pilgrim or in any other capacity, she did enter the Qianguang Temple and appeared in the vegetable garden in the back mountain...... Looks like we're going to have to talk to Master Yinan! ”
Yin Seventeen agrees with this, it is difficult to be the deacon of the Deacon Academy, if Jiang Long'er really came to Qianguang Temple twenty years ago and entered the Qianguang Temple, it is impossible for someone who is sixty years old to be in charge of the Deacon Academy for at least thirty years!
After Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen Kankan roughly understood the scene of Xiao Zhi's death, Ji Mo gradually woke up in the call of the beginning, and touched Xiao Zhi who was still sitting cross-legged on the side, that is, the last one quickly stood up, and shouted loudly in his mouth, "Dead man, dead man", and after standing up for a while, he was so scared that he almost weakened his legs, but fortunately he was worried about the end of the beginning and supported him in time.
Considering the emotions of the end, Zhanyan, Yin Seventeen, and the three of them helped the end away from the chili field, until they stopped after seeing the death of Xiao Zhi, who was sitting on an acre of land.
Yin Seventeen said: "After discovering Xiao Zhi's body, I haven't had a chance to ask what happened to the little master, and this will be the end of the little master's wake-up, so let's ask together!" ”
That is, the lingering palpitations did not disappear, and the tail of his eyes did not even dare to glance in the direction of the chili field.
Although he was also scared at the beginning, he had eased up, and when he heard Yin Seventeen say this, it meant that Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan asked although.
Zhan Yan opened his mouth first and asked, "Will there be a little master in the temple guarding the vegetable garden in the back mountain during the day and at night?" ”
"During the day, four disciples take turns to take care of the vegetable garden, and at night no one is in the vegetable garden. ”
In addition to these two, there are two other ones, one is the law that is, that is, the cong, and the other is Lu.
Yin Seventeen said: "So even if someone goes to the vegetable garden at night to do something, no one in the temple knows?" ”
He immediately put his hands together and said, "Anatha, it is true." ”
At the end of the day, he suddenly interjected: "What does the poor master mean...... The murderer sneaked into the vegetable garden last night? ”
Yin Seventeen didn't answer and asked, "What time do the two little masters go to the Houshan vegetable garden every day?" ”
Immediately said: "It is the vegetable garden that arrives on time at the beginning of the day, but today because of the real thing, the poor monk and the end of the day are more than a quarter of an hour late." ”
Then, the beginning and the end began to work as usual.
Soon after, the beginning of the split work heard the panic and horror of the end of the day, and when he ran over, he saw the end of the road fainting in the pepper field, and then he also found the strange appearance of Xiao Zhi sitting cross-legged in the pepper field.
At first, I thought that Xiao Zhi just secretly ran to the vegetable garden in the back mountain to take a look, and called Xiao Zhi twice, and after squatting down on Xiao Zhi's side to take a closer look, he always found that something was wrong.
After reaching out to test Xiao Zhi's snort, Ji Shi was also frightened by Xiao Zhi, who was already out of breath, and suddenly sat down in the small track and field, and saw that Ji Mo fainted ten steps away from the dead Xiao Zhi's body, he immediately looked around, thinking that the murderer was still nearby.
After looking to no avail, he began to be afraid, and the fear in his heart made him scream, and then he ran out of the vegetable garden, all the way to the guest house, until he met Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen.
The next thing, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen don't need to be talked about in detail.
After asking Ji Mo what happened again, he found that Ji Mo could talk about fewer things, almost all of them were said by Ji Shi, but he was even less courageous than Ji Shi, so he fainted after discovering that Xiao Zhi was so frightened that he screamed.
Ji Mo was afraid of the scene of the crime, and after Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen finished asking, Ji Shi and Ji Mo quickly left the vegetable garden, and there was another murder case, and the two of them also had to report to the masters in the temple.
After watching the beginning and the end leave the vegetable garden, Yin Qiqi returned to the chili field again, and she looked at Xiao Zhi, who was supposed to leave the temple and return to the Ying family in the county, but at this moment, she was sitting coldly in the bright pepper bush like a flame.
Yin Seventeen said: "Yesterday, Xiaozhi came out of the temple after sunset, how could she ...... How could he suddenly be killed in this vegetable garden in the back mountain? Was she caught by the murderer and killed in the backmountain vegetable garden after leaving the temple, or did she never leave the temple at all? ”
Zhan Yan couldn't answer this question: "Xiao Zhi has never been out of the temple, just ask the little master who guards the door in the temple and the official I sent to guard the gate of the temple." ”
Before the two of them stepped out of the back mountain vegetable garden, the two officials who were guarding another path leading to the outside of the Qianguang Temple in the back mountain heard about Xiao Zhi's murder, and hurriedly rushed to the back mountain vegetable garden, blocking the two from wanting to reach the temple gate.
When they saw the strange and tragic situation of Xiao Zhi's death, the two officials turned white and said:
"We've been guarding ...... How could someone sneak into a vegetable garden and commit murder? ”
Yin Seventeen asked, "Haven't you seen anyone enter or leave the other path in the back mountain?" ”
Both replied firmly, no!
Zhan Yan looked at the two officials who were at a loss and said: "If the murderer did not enter the vegetable garden behind the temple from the entrance and exit of the temple gate and another path behind the mountain, then the murderer could only be ......."
Zhan Yan looked at Yin Seventeen, Yin Seventeen:
"I want to go to the trail in the back mountain to see if there is any other way."
The two officials actually wanted to go back to Yin Seventeen and say that "there is no other way", but when they thought that the third deceased had been killed in the vegetable garden on the back mountain path they were guarding, they felt ashamed in their hearts, and they did not dare to say anything more conclusively.
Zhan Yan said: "Okay, you go and check, be careful, I'll go to the temple gate alone to ask about the situation, and then stop by to see if there is a third purple sandalwood Buddha bead on the wall of the courtyard at the end of the academy, and then I will go to Master Yinan." ”
Yin Seventeen understood what Zhanyan meant to ask her to go too, so he agreed:
"After checking, I'll go to the Deacon Courtyard to find you."
Able to understand the meaning of his words and accept his results, Zhan Yan was very satisfied with Yin Seventeen, and then he said to the two officials:
"One of you will go to the entrance and exit of another path in the back mountain with Yin Kuaishou, and one of you will quickly go out of the temple and return to the yamen to report the case, and let Shi Qizuo and Zhen Wenpo bring someone over to deal with the body of the deceased."
Two officials were ordered.
When Zhan Yan passed the periphery of the courtyard wall at the end of the academy, he turned over and passed the courtyard wall, and after a while, he took the third purple sandalwood Buddha bead from the inner courtyard wall, and still checked around it, and after no result, he walked directly to the direction of the temple gate.
Yin Seventeen followed one of the two officials directly to the entrance and exit of another path in the back mountain, and the official quietly stood by while she began to search carefully around the back path.
No clues were found, and no other entrances or exits were found.
Yin Qiqi asked the official to continue to guard the entrance and exit, and she slowly walked back to the vegetable garden along the back path, keeping her eyes open to see if she could find any clues along the way.
But until she reached the vegetable garden, she still found nothing.
This result made Yin Seventeen very frustrated and annoyed, and he couldn't help but think of the blood stains that must have been spilled on the crime scene when the murderer killed Xiao Zhi before he was found.
Judging from the bloodstains left by the murderer after the previous murder, the murderer is a person who has never tried to hide anything, on the contrary, the murderer is a person who wants everyone who has seen the scene of the crime to be able to find every clue he deliberately left.
The first two crime scenes did not clean up the blood stall shed by the killed, so the crime scene that killed Xiao Zhi this time will never be, but why did she not find the blood stall shed when Xiao Zhi was killed, whether it was in the chili field, or after she asked Zhan Yan and the servants to help search the entire vegetable field with ten acres?
There is only one reason, and the answer is - cabins.
In addition to the ten acres of vegetable land in the vegetable garden, there are only small cabins left!
Yin Seventeen returned to the vegetable garden for the first time, and saw the cabin as scheduled.
In other words, no one ever spent the night in the cabin, only during the day.
As for why no one was arranged to keep vigil, that is, he said that he didn't know, since he entered the temple to the present, the vegetable garden in the back mountain of the temple has always been arranged in such a regular way, and he has never asked why, and naturally he doesn't know the reason.
The end is the same answer as the beginning.
Yin Seventeen entered the cabin.
There was no one in the cabin, and the two of them, who were supposed to stay here until sunset, returned to the temple because of Shiba's death.
That is, the beginning, the end and the follow, that is, Lu has always been a group of two, one group for a day, two groups for half a month each, so that they take turns to take care of the supply of vegetables and fruits in the back mountain vegetable garden.
In the small wooden house, there are the daily necessities of the four disciples of the same generation, and each set of changing monk's robes, I think it is probably that they are tired from work, and they can change into clothes after washing, and then there are simple beds, tables, and stools, and some wooden racks and large bamboo baskets that can temporarily be placed in vegetables and melons, and some tools such as hoes are needed for work.
Xiao Zhi's fatal point was like the previous two deceased, they were all cut throats with a knife, the first two murders, the murderer did not discard the murder weapon, this time it should be the same, but Yin Seventeen thought about luck, or maybe thinking that everything was possible, she still looked carefully in the cabin.
The beds, tables, and stools are so simple that they can be seen at a glance, there is nothing to view, and the wooden frame is also very simple, and because of the discovery of Xiaozhi's body today, there are no fruits and vegetables picked or cut from the beginning and the end, and the fruits and vegetables picked and cut yesterday from and Lu have already been brought back to the temple kitchen when they left the vegetable garden yesterday, so the wooden shelf is almost empty.
Skipping the wooden frame, Yin Seventeen's gaze fell on the neatly arranged pile of farming tools in the corner of the house, and finally squatted down by the hoe, which had been rusty for quite a few years.
The point is not on the hoe, but on what is pressed under the iron hoe - the begonia bead flower!
Yin Qiqi remembered that Xiao Zhi was wearing such a begonia bead flower on her sideburns, and she took the begonia bead flower in her hand to look at it carefully, her mind kept turning, and she suddenly got up and patrolled the cabin again.
If the real place of Xiao Zhi's death is in this small cabin, then there will definitely be blood stains in it!
But what about the bloodstains?
Where is it?
After a long time of inspecting two teas, Yin Seventeen finally saw a suspicious low cabinet in the middle of the wooden frame and the stacked farming tools in the corner of the house.
She looked at the corner of the room facing the windowsill again, and saw that there were traces of a low cabinet that had been placed for a long time, and wondered why the low cabinet had been moved to this side.
With such a strange question, Yin Seventeen pushed open the low cabinet, and there seemed to be something in the low cabinet, but unfortunately it was locked, and she couldn't open it, so she could only push the low cabinet open with all her might.
Soon a clearing was revealed between the wooden frame and the farming implements, and there was a large suspicious wetland in the clearing.
It may not have been washed for too long, and the wetlands have not yet dried up.
The wetland is large, the size of a small water tank, and the area in the middle is obviously darker, and the surrounding area is much lighter, and it is obviously only a trace of being splashed with water. (To be continued.) )
