Chapter 706: The Monk Who Died
γ2nd Updateγ
The snow is drifting.
A canopy boat was swaying alone on the lakeside, and the canvas on the roof of the shed seemed to have been used for some years, and there were many patches nailed to the east and west.
But even so, there are some can't cover the lining made of artemisia grass and swallow mud.
This is obviously not the one used by Sun Shaozong, and it can't even be the boat of Dali Temple - it seems that Tang Weishan only heard about it, and he didn't come to verify it, so he hurried over to report it.
As an official in charge of investigating cases, this kind of behavior is obviously dereliction of duty - especially the panic shown by this guy, which is even more embarrassing for Zuo Temple.
Maybe......
We should find a way to replace this guy - at least let him stand aside and choose another merit to reuse.
I don't know that Chen Jingde, the deputy of the left temple, is unbearable......
"Where did this ship come from?"
Thinking about it in his heart, Sun Shaozong asked casually, but without waiting for someone to answer, he jumped on the bow of the boat first, opened the also patched door curtain, and peeked inside.
But in the narrow cabin, two monks were lying on their backs with their breasts exposed, revealing the hideous and terrifying wounds between their chests and abdomen.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, someone behind him trembled and reported: "Lord Hui, this boat floated by itself." β
Floated over on your own?
Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this, and he didn't bother to check the two corpses at first, then turned back and asked, "Then why did you stop it to check?" β
Since this canopy boat floated down the river, it doesn't look like something from Dali Temple, so how could these idlers who pretend to be elegant and chant poetry and have fun in the nearby pavilion deliberately intercept it?
"This ......"
Three little officials, you look at me, I look at you, and it was only after a while that someone bowed down and reported: "If you go back to your lordship, I will see a white sail standing on this boat, and it will be written on it...... After writing the name and surname of the adult, I couldn't help but be curious, and stopped the boat with a pole, who would have thought that there were two corpses inside! β
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the gazebo not far away.
White Sails?
Also wrote your first name and last name on it?
This is actually coming for yourself?!
Interesting!
Since the bloody case, there has been no murderer for a long time who dares to provoke himself by name!
"Go and get the white sails!"
Sun Shaozong gave an order, and immediately two messengers trotted around the pavilion, and soon presented a white sail to Sun Shaozong.
The white sail was about five feet high, with two bamboo poles slightly thicker than the thumb as the skeleton, one long and one short, and hung a piece of white cloth two feet wide and three feet long.
The lower part of the white cloth was twisted into a fine strip of cloth, and the ink on it was the word 'Sun Shaozong'.
It seems to be somewhat similar to the popular spirit flags.
With such an unlucky thing, it is no wonder that the three little officials put it away in advance and did not dare to let themselves see it.
None of that is mentioned.
However, he said that Sun Shaozong took Bai Fanqing in his hand and looked at it carefully, the coarse cloth and bamboo poles were common things, and obviously he couldn't find any useful clues.
As for the words on it......
There can be five or six heads and branches in one stroke, and it is obvious that they are not just swipe, but are drawn little by little.
If it is said that the murderer deliberately concealed the handwriting, it does not look like it, but it looks more like a beginner's handwriting.
After carefully studying for a long time, he couldn't find any other clues, so Sun Shaozong ordered someone to put it away as evidence, and then returned to the ship.
This time, instead of directly visiting the corpse in the cabin, he first looked inside and out of the curtain.
After confirming that there were no clues related to the case, he tucked it into the broken part of the roof and went directly into the warehouse.
This is naturally done in order to make the cabin brighter and not affect the on-site investigation.
But......
A simple comparison of the blood on the ground and the hideous wounds on the corpse can lead to the conclusion that this is not the first scene.
There is too little blood left, and it is more 'poured' or rubbed on it than it flows up.
These two monks, one old and one young, are very well maintained, and it can be seen that they usually do not work much.
But the old monk also had traces of the old days left by his efforts, and it was obvious that he was not rich when he was young.
Did he become a monk and become prosperous, or was there another reason?
In addition, the tops of the heads of the two monks were very cleanly shaved, as if they had just been shaved - even the old monk's goatee had just been trimmed.
The robes on the two of them are old objects, and according to the obvious musty smell on them, they should have been placed in a place where they did not see the light of day, and they were kept for a long time, and when they were taken out and worn, they were not washed and dried again.
This is a bit strange.
It stands to reason that after the heavy snowfall before, the temperature in Jingshi Zuo has plummeted, and this thick monk's robe should have been taken out early in the morning and worn, but how can it look like it has just been taken out?
What's more, according to the physical characteristics of the two, they should not be sloppy monks who do not pay attention to personal hygiene.
After looking at his head, face and clothes, Sun Shaozong fell to the ground again and groped on the old monk's legs.
Because the monks have been meditating cross-legged for many years, the bones on their legs will inevitably be somewhat deformed, and this is the case with this old monk, which shows that it is not a temporary disguise.
After verifying the identity of the old monk and monk, Sun Shaozong began to examine the wounds in his chest and abdomen.
I saw that the wound occupied almost the entire right chest of the old monk, and some of the flesh was sunken inward, and some were turned outward, but they were all hideous and terrifying, and they were uneven.
It can be seen that this knife is still a new hand, and the cutting is repeatedly hindered by the ribs, so the knife edge looks uneven, as if it was cut with a blunt object.
However, according to Sun Shaozong's examination, although the blade used by the murderer is not a divine blade, it can also be called sharp, because even on the ribs, there are many cuts.
Obviously, the hideous wound on the old monk's chest expanded after death - as for whether it was the original fatal wound, it was difficult to determine for a while, and it may be necessary to turn the body over and examine the whole body before making a conclusion.
And the reason why he took such great pains to cut open the chests of two people......
Heart-splitting?
It's another heart-gouging case!
Could it be that this bite has become popular in Beijing recently?
Pulling his hand out of the old monk's chest, and by the way, making a judgment that the time of death was within an hour, Sun Shaozong began to examine the little monk's wound again.
This one, apparently, was concocted after the old monk, because of the experience gained, the murderer's technique of cutting wounds has made visible progress with the naked eye.
Then there are some black and purple bruises on the fingers of the little monk's right hand, as well as traces of being bitten by something.
This bite mark seems to be much smaller than pets such as cats and dogs, and may be an object such as a snake or insect.
The two bodies were flipped over and examined carefully.
found that the back door of the little monk had traces of repeated use, and I don't know if it was the old monk's doing, or if he had an affair with others.
Hey?!
At this moment, Sun Shaozong suddenly found something strange on the back of the old monk: a post that was painted black! ()
