Chapter Ninety-Four: The Case of a Thousand Lights
When Ye Lao said that the pattern of the potted plants was a "yin" word, Zhan Yan was present, and he also saw and knew the pattern behind her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Miao Xian also saw the pattern behind her before she died, and it was also because the pattern party counterattacked and took Miao Tie's fatal knife for her, so Zhan Yan was the fourth person after herself, Granny Tao, and Miao Xian to see that there was a pattern behind her, and clearly knew the meaning of the pattern.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Yin Seventeen suddenly felt that Zhan Yan really knew something?!
Hua Zilai was not satisfied with Yin Seventeen's answer: "What do you think too much?" Is it that you want too little, okay? Such an obvious anomaly...... Eh, where are you going......"
Then he shut up, because Granny Tao had already taken the food out of the kitchen, and Yin Seventeen went to Granny Tao to help serve the food.
Hua Zilai also walked over and helped bring a plate of meat buns.
When eating meat buns, they all took meat buns and ate happily, only Zhanyan didn't move, Yin Seventeen bit his mouth full of meat filling, and said a little vaguely:
"Brother Zhan, this meat bun is made by my grandmother, and the meat filling of the bread is all fine meat, without any fat, you can eat it with confidence!"
As she spoke, she used chopsticks to pick up a meat bun and put it in Zhanyan's bowl.
Hua Zilai said: "Seventeen, how do you know that Brother Zhan doesn't eat fatty meat?" ā
Yin Seventeen said: "The eldest brother said it himself. ā
Hua Zilai didn't speak again.
He silently chewed the eggplant in his mouth, and the feeling in his heart that there must be something wrong between Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen became stronger and stronger.
After dinner, Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai went back.
Before leaving, Hua Zilai told Granny Tao that he would definitely come to the door again!
Yin Seventeen didn't object after hearing this, but added a sentence, say hello before coming to the door, but don't make a sudden visit like today, so that she and Granny Tao's ancestors and grandchildren are both a little in a hurry.
This is actually for Zhan Yan.
Hua Zilai also knew that while smiling, he couldn't help but follow Yin Seventeen's gaze to Zhanyan who was silent.
Under the staring eyes of the two, Zhan Yan finally realized that it was time to make a statement:
āā¦ā¦ Good. ā
After Zhan Yan and Hua Zi left, Chen Yue came from next door, probably aiming at Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to walk on the front foot, and he would have arrived on the back foot.
Chen Yue and Yin Seventeen sat down in the courtyard, right on the edge of the herb field.
As soon as Chen Yue sat down, he asked, "Seventeen, there was no trouble in the last case, right?" ā
Yin Qiqi can also understand that Chen Yue's abnormality all day turned out to be for her unhappiness in the past half a month.
She glanced at Granny Tao, who was sitting in the hall, with a pair of presbyopia eyes but kept glancing into the yard, and her ears were also erected and had not been put down, and she turned around and sighed.
Chen Yue was really a little anxious when he saw this: "Is there really trouble?" ā
Yin Seventeen shook his head, lowered his voice and said to Chen Yue:
"No trouble, it's just ...... The last case was a bit involved in my life experience, and I felt uneasy, so my grandmother was worried about it this month, and my grandmother didn't know about it, Brother Chen, don't say anything, since it was my grandmother who asked you to enlighten me, then you can tell my grandmother, it's nothing, it's just that I encountered a problem in the case, and I won't be able to solve it for a while......"
Chen Yue digested what Yin Seventeen said for a long time, and nodded stunned:
"Okay...... How do you know that Granny Tao asked me to ask? ā
Yin Seventeen motioned to Chen Yue not to look at the hall, and smiled lightly:
"Grandmother will be looking at the hall and fidgeting, as soon as you look into the hall, grandmother will definitely guess something, you and I have always been different because of the different cases handled by the officials, often different times, not to mention that you can't meet, even if you meet, you just nod and say hello, where will you know my situation at home for half a month, so think about it, what else can't you guess?"
After Yin Seventeen said this, Chen Yue suddenly felt that since Yin Seventeen had also gone to the Yamen, he and Yin Seventeen were becoming stranger and stranger, but even so, he still cared about Yin Seventeen, the neighbor's little brother.
Thinking of Yin Seventeen's self-mentioned life experience, Chen Yue couldn't help asking:
"Got a clue about your family?"
Yin Seventeen said: "No, it's just a small sign, there are two people who may know about my life experience, one is dead, and the other doesn't know if he really doesn't know, or he doesn't want to say it...... Anyway, in the end, I didn't know more about ......."
Miao Xian died, and after Ye Lao said that the pattern was the word "yin" in the Qier script, he didn't say anything else.
No matter how Yin Seventeen asked, Ye Lao always didn't know.
Chen Yue was a little worried about Yin Seventeen.
Yin Qiqi smiled and told him not to worry, he must always come, and he probably won't come if he shouldn't come, if something really goes wrong, then she can only cover it with water, and the soldiers will come to block, there is nothing to worry about.
Chen Yue said: "If you need help, don't be polite to Brother Chen." ā
Yin Seventeen's heart was warm: "Well, it must be troublesome Brother Chen!" When my affairs are somewhat clear, Brother Chen will know. ā
This is tantamount to a commitment.
When her background is clear, she will tell him.
Chen Yue got up, and Yin Seventeen also got up.
Suddenly, Chen Yue hugged Yin Seventeen.
Yin Seventeen was a little stunned, but she didn't push Chen Yue away, she knew that Chen Yue felt sorry for her.
A person who has been abandoned by his family, whoever listens to it will feel sorry for this person.
If she told Chen Yue that she was actually a girl, probably Chen Yue would feel more sorry for her.
The Yin Seventeen person who was held by Ren Chen Yue didn't know that he was going and returning was staring at the two of them tightly, and the coldness and indifference in his eyes were rapidly changing.
This person is Zhanyan.
As soon as he arrived at the yamen the next day, before he stepped into the headcatcher's room, he let Zhan Yan pull him out of the yamen.
Zhan Yan pulled Yin Seventeen's right arm bend, and Hua Zilai wanted to pull Yin Seventeen's left arm bend, but when Zhan Yan glanced at him coldly, he inexplicably turned off the fire.
Yin Seventeen didn't pay attention to this little episode, and was only pulled out of the county gate by Zhanyan at a trot:
"Is something wrong? Brother Zhan, you have a voice! ā
Zhan Yan said: "There is a murder case in Qianguang Temple. ā
Yin Seventeen was silent.
She thought that the name of this temple was not the same temple that she and Zhan Yan had been to last time?
Zhan Yan said again: "Get on the horse!" ā
Yin Seventeen looked up, Zhan Yan was already riding majestically on the tall horse, and when he looked to the side, Hua Zilai also rode on the horse, and it seemed that he had no choice.
Between Zhanyan and Hua Zilai, she must choose one to be her groom.
Since her back was looked at and strange, Yin Seventeen subconsciously wanted to avoid her face, and she walked towards the flowers.
Hua Zilai was also very happy, as soon as he reached out to give Yin Seventeen a hand to let her get on his horse, he felt a sight that was enough to freeze to death, he looked for the source, and couldn't help but silently withdraw the outstretched hand, and cut the railroad categorically:
"That...... Seventeen! I'm not used to bringing people, so let Brother Zhan take you! ā
Yin Seventeen was dissatisfied: "Brother Hua! Didn't you ride back to the county with Brother Zhan last time? ā
She was referring to the time when she parted ways with Zhanyan and Hua Zilai in Bian Ye Village.
Hua Zilai obviously thought of it: "That time it was Brother Zhan who took me, not Brother Zhan who I bringed!" ā
This rebuttal made Yin Seventeen speechless.
Still hesitating, Zhan Yan said coldly:
"If you don't come up again, you can walk to the Thousand Light Temple!"
Walking?
It takes half an hour to ride a horse, and she has to walk, so she can't break her leg!
Without hesitation, he got on the back of Zhanyan's horse very heroically, and Yin Seventeen hurriedly hugged Zhanyan's waist:
"Brother Zhan, let's go!"
Zhan Yan slightly hooked his lips: "Go!" ā
Hua Zilai rode closely behind Zhan Yan's horse, only to feel that he had just seen Zhan Yan's shallow smile was really mysterious, and the heart in his heart to figure out what was going on between Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen was even firmer.
When I arrived at Qianguang Temple, the people from the Yamen had not yet arrived.
As soon as Zhan Yan received the report, he rushed out of the yamen, followed by Hua Zilai, and then Qi Qi pulled Yin Seventeen to come.
It can be said that the three of them were the first to arrive at Senguang Temple.
Shi Qizuo, Zhen Wenpo and the servants will arrive later.
There are two guest houses in the temple, located on the right side of the temple's backyard, each with eight guest rooms.
When the incense is in full swing, the guest compartments in these two courtyards are often full, and many pilgrims who come later often fail to stay.
The scene of the crime is in the first guest house in the backyard of Qianguang Temple, and the second guest house is built in the innermost part of the right side of the temple backyard.
The first guest house is called the Chess Academy, and the second guest house is called the Academy.
Yin Seventeen stared at the wall at the end of the road, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something on the wall.
She walked briskly over.
Zhan Yan, who was about to enter the chess academy, also walked over, and the flowers that left only one person had to follow when they saw this.
Approaching the courtyard wall where you can see the path behind the mountain, Yin Seventeen looked at the beads in the middle of the wall and reached out and carefully pulled the beads out of the wall.
As soon as the beads left the courtyard wall, a small circular recessed hole was revealed where the beads had been placed.
Zhan Yan looked at the bead in Yin Seventeen's hand and said, "This is the Buddha bead." ā
Yin Seventeen Dao: "Yes, it's a Buddha bead." ā
Hua Zilai strangely took the Buddha bead from Yin Seventeen's hand, and after looking at it carefully, he looked at the surrounding area under the wall and said:
"How can this bead be pinched in the wall? Or only one? ā
Yin Seventeen Dao: "This Buddha bead is made of the above material purple sandalwood, we have to check how many of the Buddhist beads of all the monks in this Qianguang Temple are made of purple sandalwood, and who has lost the whole string of Buddha beads, or is missing a Buddha bead." ā
Zhan Yan climbed over the courtyard wall to check the path leading to the back mountain, and came back in a while:
"No more identical beads were found at the other end of the courtyard wall, nor any suspicious traces were found on the path."
Hua Zilai said: "This Buddha bead must have some meaning, either the murderer deliberately left it, or who deliberately placed it here." ā
Yin Seventeen agrees with the words of the flowers.
But what does that mean?
She didn't have a clue.
After staying on the edge of the courtyard wall at the end of the academy for too long, the three of them walked back to the chess courtyard and arrived at the passenger compartment at the scene of the murder.
This guest room is the innermost of the eight guest rooms, since it was discovered that there were dead people here, the pilgrims in the guest house had long wanted to go home, but the host master Ci Mei stopped them.
The reason is that there was a murder in the passenger compartment, and it was the pilgrims in the passenger compartment who died, and no one could leave the guest house without permission before the official mission came to the future, otherwise whoever would be the biggest suspect of the murderer.
Although Cimei didn't say it directly, that's probably what he meant.
When Yin Seventeen and the Third Party arrived at the innermost compartment of the guest house, Ci Mei and several Buddhist disciples had been waiting outside the door of the guest compartment for a long time.
Seeing Cimei again, Yin Seventeen stepped forward and saluted:
"Master Crow! Seventeen is polite! I wonder if the master remembers seventeen? ā
Ci Mei also put his hands together and bowed, looked at Yin Seventeen Ci Mei and said:
"Remember! How could Lao Na not remember the seventeen little benefactors? Didn't the little benefactor just come to the temple a few days ago? ā
A few days ago, she returned to the temple in response to her promise and apologized to Cimei for her rudeness when she hurriedly rescued Zhanyan.
Yin Seventeen said: "Yes, this time I came back for business." ā
Hearing this, Cimei sighed slightly and said, "The three poor masters, please come in!" ā
The eight chambers are named after the eight characters of "vertical, horizontal, intersecting, staggering, rowing, column, such as, and array", and the innermost compartment is the array chamber.
As soon as he stepped into the formation room, Yin Seventeen was shocked as if he was in the wrong place.
She looked sideways at Zhanyan and Hua Zilai, and they were just like her, full of surprise.
Ci Mei said: "As the three poor masters have seen, this wing room has not reverted to its appearance!" ā
The deceased was a young woman, who sat quietly at the only table in the room, with her hands on the table, her head resting on the table and her hands, and she sat on a round stool and leaned down on the table.
The woman's face was quiet and serene with her hands exposed and facing the door, her eyelashes were thick and long, her eyes were closed, and her clean and beautiful face was not at all frightened by the sudden start, if it weren't for the blood dripping from her feet, probably others would only think that she was just tired, lying on the table for a while.
After seeing the scene in the wing, Zhanyan asked Cimei:
"Master, are all the furniture in this guest house arranged like this?"
Cimei shook his head and said, "Naturally not." ā
In the usual guest house, there will be a copper stove on the table, and a Buddha character is engraved on both sides of the tripod, and a faint sandalwood is always burning in the tripod.
But now the copper stove on the table is gone.
There was originally a set of celadon tea sets made by Qianguang Temple on the table, and the teapot was engraved with two lines of words from the "Heart Sutra" in the Buddhist scriptures - color is empty, and empty is color.
But now the tea set on the table has been replaced by an ordinary white porcelain tea set.
All the calligraphy and paintings about Buddhism hanging on the wall in the compartment are also gone, and even the pendulum bottles that are slightly related to the Buddha are nowhere to be seen, and the wing room with many objects is a little empty.
Yin Seventeen's eyes fell on the bed in the wing room, and the bedding on the couch had obviously been replaced, and the original unified gray-blue bedding in the Qianguang Temple was gone, but replaced with a bright rose red color, and the patterns on the bedding were also full of flowers.
Hua Zilai also followed Yin Seventeen, looked at the rose-red futon on the bed for a while, and suddenly said:
"What the hell does that mean? Have you changed all the furnishings? (To be continued.) )
