Chapter 280: A Strange Case
After Chiyo pulled Di Liniang away, Lan Jiawei began to chat with his two sons, drinking the familiar elf fruit wine, even if Di Renjie was very strong in front of others, but at this time he also began to pour bitter water, telling about the hardships of his career all the way from Bianzhou over the years.
"Wu Zetian is a very smart person, I knew her today when she was young, so I didn't have a deep friendship, so I didn't have too much trouble for you, originally according to fate, Goryeo perished at her hands, I moved the time earlier, which also added a few years of life to her, because after all, killing people is not a good thing"
"Oh, the saint is not inferior to men, royal affairs, as a courtier is not good character", Di Renjie was reluctant to comment too much, because he and Wu Zetian had a good impression of each other when they were young, so after becoming the empress, Wu Zetian promoted Di Renjie all the way.
"Father-in-law, I have encountered an unsolved case now, and I don't know how to deal with it, it's good that you're here", Di Renjie changed the topic
"Oh, let's talk about it", Lan Jiawei became interested, Di Renjie's skills in identifying traces were taught to him by himself, and he was actually stumped, it seems that it is really a mystery.
"During this period of time, Chang'an City has been in a rumor, the saint is furious, and a ten-day deadline has been set to solve the case, so Xiaojie and I feel pressure, things started to happen a month ago, many women walking on the road suddenly disappeared, one of them disappeared in the company of his family and in full view of everyone, very bizarre", as he spoke, Di Renjie habitually began to stand up and make circles
Raising his eyebrows, Lan Jiawei didn't think there was anything strange about it, Hu Sanniang's skills could do it, so he just asked, "Haven't you found any clues yet?" ”
"Father-in-law, I have investigated several scenes, and I have preliminarily determined that the perpetrator used a special rope as a tool. Suddenly landed in mid-air and snatched the woman, because there are big trees near the crime to rely on, but we are ashamed, what is used and what kind of stealth, we have no clue"
"Haven't found the bodies of these women all these days? What characteristics do these women have in common? ”
"Father-in-law, the common characteristic of these women is that they all like to have extremely red lips. And it's all goose egg faces, and the perpetrators seem to have psychological problems"
"Don't worry, I'll go with you tomorrow to see a few sites, when was the last time?"
"It was five days ago, my father-in-law, it was Princess Taiping's sister-in-law Xue Erniang who was kidnapped, so the saint was furious and ordered to solve the case and arrest the suspect within a time limit"
While the two were talking, Chiyo and Rei Niang both returned. The descendants of this brother and sister are basically over fifteen years old, and according to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, the youngest will soon hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and they are all more sensible.
made an appointment with Di Renjie to go to the exploration site together tomorrow, and the couple sent Di Renjie's brother and sister out of the gate.
After listening to the case described by her husband, Chiyo shook her head, "It's easy to do it if it's us." But I don't think anyone in this era will be suspended in the air, and it is estimated that something like fiberglass in later generations will be ferried. But it should be a master."
Lan Jiawei agreed with his wife's opinion, and he also felt in his heart that it was something similar to the fishing line of the later generations, and he would know if he went to see it tomorrow.
The next day, Di Renjie took Lan Jiawei and his wife to the scene of the incident five days ago.
This is a relatively remote stretch of road in Chang'an City, surrounded by trees that resemble an urban garden. Dotted with a handful of buildings, it has a lot of flavor, but this tranquility is shattered by bad crime.
Lan Jiawei raised his hand to stop Di Renjie, he didn't need Yizi's explanation, and began to observe carefully. even floated in Di Renjie's stunned eyes.
"There is a hook point here, although it is very small, but it is indeed a hook claw, and it looks exquisitely made and of high quality", after speaking, Lan Jiawei grabbed Di Renjie's shoulder and flew to the tree with him, pointing to that very inconspicuous trace.
"Yes, father-in-law, it's really the traces left by the hook claw, hiss......, is there such a craftsman in Chang'an City?" , Di Renjie began to think after being sent back to the ground by Lan Jiawei.
Lan Jiawei asked Xiao Zhi to calculate the length of this almost invisible, but very strong "fishing line", and then once again performed the process of drawing an arc from the air to rob people in Di Renjie's stunned eyes, and played the victim tacitly with Chiyo, who was almost like a heart with her husband.
According to Ash's calculations, Lan Jiawei and his wife landed on another big tree more than ten meters away, seemingly searching for clues, but soon found that it was another trace left by a hook.
"Xiaojie, I plan to track it down, this person is very skilled in grasping hooks, not stealth but his speed and strength are very powerful, so ordinary people can't see his figure clearly", after speaking, Lan Jiawei grabbed Di Renjie's arm and took him to start flying, while Chiyo followed unhurriedly.
Under Xiao Zhi's calculations, the traces of the hook were nowhere to be hidden, which clearly indicated the walking route of the criminal, and also made Di Renjie extremely excited, but he didn't expect that the seemingly complicated case would be solved by his father-in-law like this.
But at the end of the line, Lan Jiawei frowned, "Xiaojie, what kind of place is this?" ”
"......Hiss, father-in-law, don't act rashly, this is the temple of the Holy Buddha in his early years", Di Renjie has been put to the ground by Lan Jiawei, and several people are now outside the walls of this temple.
"That's it, then you wait, I'll go in and take a look", before Di Renjie could react, Lan Jiawei had disappeared abruptly, and it didn't take long for him to reappear.
"Xiaojie, let's go first, let's go to the palace to see Wu Zetian together, and I'll tell you on the way", Lan Jiawei led the other two out of the neighborhood
After walking a long way, Lan Jiawei said, "That temple has a cellar, in which more than ten women are imprisoned, and there are two not weak spiritual forces in the temple, it seems that they are both masters, this case is supervised by you, I can't take your place, so I will go to see Wu Mei with you first."
Although they could enter from the air, Lan Jiawei and his wife didn't want to scare people too much, so they stood outside the palace in the company of Di Renjie, waiting for Wu Zetian's summons.
Although the other party is a woman, after all, he is a very accomplished emperor, so after seeing Wu Mei, who was almost unrecognizable, Lan Jiawei and his wife both called them "saints", which made Wu Zetian very happy, walked to the two of them, and held one with one hand: "National teacher, fairy, after decades of separation, I haven't seen the two immortals, I really envy me."
"The Holy One is also the Holy Body's health, and now the Tang Dynasty's national peace and security are all your credits", to be honest, the so-called "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" was actually the foundation laid by Wu Zetian, so Lan Jiawei was not wrong to say this.
Taking the bottle of "fairy water" handed out by Lan Jiawei, Wu Zetian was even more happy, "Come on, give the national teacher and the fairy a seat", the empress likes Lan Jiawei and his wife very much because of the indifference shown by the idea of equality between men and women, unlike other people who are respectful on the surface and disdainful in their hearts, but they are inadvertently expressed through their eyes.
After chatting about some past things, Wu Zetian figured out that the other fairies did not come, and only Lan Jiawei and his wife came, and knew that they actually came to see Di Renjie's brother and sister, so he also thought highly of Di Renjie again in his heart.
"Ganye Temple? Can you be sure? Wu Zetian frowned and sighed after listening to Lan Jiawei's description, "National teacher, in fact, I shouldn't have trusted you so much, at that time, I witnessed the performance of you and other immortals with Emperor Taizong attacking Goryeo, although it is now a folklore, but many veterans know that those are true"
After taking a sip of the ginseng soup handed over by the palace maid, Wu Zetian continued: "The chaos in the temple is not a matter of one or two days, starting from Princess Gaoyang, the chaos of the royal family has always been inseparable from these bald donkeys, so my daughter Taiping I stopped her from going to the Buddha and joined Taoism instead."
Then his eyes flashed, "National Teacher, but after all, this is related to the royal dignity, and I also ask the National Teacher to help, I can come and go without a shadow, these bald donkeys think they have some ability, but I don't want to mobilize the army, so as not to cause unnecessary speculation, you know what I mean, right?" ”
Lan Jiawei and his wife are both old people, so they nodded to show that they understood
"Di Aiqing, I will send a team of Qianniu Guards to you, don't block the news, so as not to cause shock and unease, the others are fairies and national teachers, and those so-called masters are just ant ears"
With the permission of the Holy Decree, Di Renjie was able to put his mind at ease, and he also knew that on the one hand, the Holy Lord was angry with the lawlessness of these monks, and on the other hand, it was also because he was full of confidence in his righteous parents, knowing that with these two people, everything would be worry-free.
When they arrived at Ganye Temple, the Qianniu guards drove out some sporadic pilgrims, which was very common in Chang'an, mostly when the royal family traveled, so although the civilians complained, they still left one after another.
After asking Qianniuwei to prevent anyone from entering, Lan Jiawei and his wife walked hand in hand to the courtyard in the middle of the temple, "Come out, let me do it, you won't have any chance."
Several middle-aged and elderly monks with gloomy eyes walked out of the side hall, and other monks also gathered from other halls one after another to this large area of the palace square.
"Buddhism Holy Land, who is shouting on the ground, this is a royal temple, how can you be presumptuous", the two middle-aged monks looked at the beautiful Chiyo and drooled, and stared at her in a daze.
"Hmph, what a quiet holy place, how do you explain the woman in the cellar eight hundred steps away here?" After speaking, Lan Jiawei released a powerful spiritual coercion to fix all these monks and prevent them from moving.
But the two middle-aged monks were obviously masters of robbery, and they could still move, a faint invisible light flashed, and they planned to escape, and the falcon-like speed really made ordinary people helpless.
But they were all sneered Lan Jiawei sealed his bloodline at lightning speed, and fell down from mid-air, Di Renjie on the side stepped forward curiously to observe the rope used by the two people, "Hiss...... it seems to be the legendary Tianshan Ice Silk"
"Oh, there's a legend? We don't know", Lan Jiawei replied and began to wander around the monks as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden, sealing all the bloodlines of these guys in the blink of an eye.
Now he is not the beginning, after he closed the bloodline, he can only find him again to untie it, otherwise the bloodline will continue to be closed, and after a long time, he will definitely leave a disability. (To be continued.) )
