"Sister-in-law?"

Sure enough, Sun Chengye expected it, Sun Shaozong had just arrived at the mansion, and before he could sit down in the Criminal Division, Jia Yucun hurried over.

What 'I look forward to the virtuous brother, like a long drought and looking forward to the rain', 'this case is confusing and difficult to see in ancient and modern times, and it can't be broken if it is not a virtuous brother', 'I just broke a mansion in Shuntianfu, and there can be no more bad pools' and so on, Lin Lin always said a lot.

Although Sun Shaozong had already made up his mind to investigate the case, he still deliberately took Qiao for a long time, and listened to him talk about the flattery, so he reluctantly agreed.

After that, Sun Shaozong summoned Wei Ruolan and others to inquire about the investigation of the case and any useful clues he had found.

And the key clue given by Wei Ruolan is the word 'sister-in-law'!

The so-called 'Fansao' is a bad custom left over from the Xiangguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is said that there were monks who took prostitutes as their wives at that time, and called them Fansao.

"That's what the adults are talking about."

Qiu Yunfei pouted on the side and said: "Now this sister-in-law does not refer to a prostitute, but a woman from a good family who has an affair with a monk. ”

Master Qi added on the side: "In fact, this is the legacy of the Mongolian Tatars when they stole the Central Plains, those Mongolians are extremely strict with the people of the Central Plains, but they are very polite to the monks, so some lawbreakers will take their own hands in Shamen and do all kinds of evil in the name of monks." ”

"At that time, many temples had quite a lot of land, and it was not like ordinary people who had to pay heavy taxes, so these evil monks often used this as bait to lure desperate tenants to sacrifice their wives and daughters for their fornication in exchange for the qualification to rent temple property."

"And these women are collectively called Fansao."

Hearing Master Qi coming here, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but question: "Such a bad habit, if it is in those remote places, it is okay, but Fayuan Temple is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is the most famous temple in the capital, how can you dare to risk the world's disapproval and do such an indiscriminate thing?" ”

Wei Ruolan shook her head: "This is not the meaning of Fayuan Temple, but the monk of the precept made it in private." ”

But it turned out that the monk was originally a prodigal son in the suburbs of Beijing, and he loved to sleep in flowers and willows the most in his life - and later, for some reason, he ran to Fayuan Temple to shave as a monk.

At the beginning, this precept was still decent, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

But since the beginning of spring this year, there have been some rumors in the temple, saying that this monk has secretly started a pimp business, often matching monks in the temple, introducing young women and eldest daughters of good families, and the essence of the public ginseng's joyful Zen.

This rumor naturally attracted the attention of the Discipline Academy, but the first seat of the Zhike Academy, the disciple of the obsessive monk, proved that this matter was purely false, and the monk was preserved.

"However, according to our investigation today, the monk did pimp, and the first batch of so-called Fansa sisters-in-law were actually pilgrims who were damaged by him with drugs."

"Those pilgrims were also coerced by him, so they had to make peace with the monks in the temple."

"In addition, the first precept of the precept of the precept has not given up on investigating this matter, and has been secretly investigating whether there is some kind of ulterior relationship between the precepts and the precepts."

"It's just that he has always been cautious in handling things, and he hasn't been held by him until now."

The narrative of the crowd finally came to an end for the time being.

Sun Shaozong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then asked: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you are suspicious of the monk who abstains from hatred, but since he already has a goal, there has been no progress these days - could it be that there is a clear alibi for abstaining from anger?" ”

"Exactly."

Master Qi spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "On the night when the abstinence was dead, the monk was patrolling the night with an apprentice. ”

"And on the night that Monk Jieming was crucified in front of the mountain gate, he happened to have a confrontation with another apprentice."

Wei Ruolan hurriedly added: "But those two little monks are orphans who were brought up by the abstinence, so it is very likely that they are covering up their crimes for him." ”

Master Qi was noncommittal to his addition, and continued: "As for the monk who took the precepts, although he had no obvious alibi at the time of his death—but when he was killed before, he was ordered to kneel on the main hall for one night because of his remonstrance, so the monks on night duty in the temple could testify about him. ”

In other words, the suspicion of abstinence can be basically ruled out now, and although the monk who abstained from anger had an alibi on both occasions, there was a suspicion of concealment of relatives.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a long time, and then carefully looked through the case file brought by Wei Ruolan twice, and then got up and said: "Seeing is believing and hearing is false, let's go to the scene first." ”

If Sun Shaozong had taken the initiative to take over the case he had investigated, Wei Ruolan would definitely have made some awkward trouble, but now she is cooperating tightly, and she heard Sun Shaozong say that she was going to inspect the scene, and without saying a word, she sent someone to prepare a means of transportation.

If he had to compromise in order to find out the truth, it doesn't look like that.

Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled by his change, but Wei Ruolan took advantage of everyone's busyness to come up and say mysteriously: "That child has been sent out of the capital." ”

Tut~

He didn't think that the two of them rescued the 'baby' at the same time, even if they were comrades in the trenches?

Sure enough, it's a tsundere and naïve young man!

Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart, but his face was inexplicable: "What child? Is Judge Satcom talking to me? ”

The smug expression on Wei Ruolan's face froze, and then her face flushed with shame.

was about to say something unpleasant and take this grievance back, but Qiu Yunfei and Master Qi had already packed up and urged the two to rush to Fayuan Temple to investigate the case.

Wei Ruolan had no choice but to swallow her words back, and with a constipated expression, she walked out of the gate of the Criminal Division.

Nothing to say all the way.

When I arrived at Fayuan Temple, I saw that the square in front of the mountain gate was deserted, and only a few believers were knocking on the mountain gate.

Although it rained yesterday and the road was not very easy to walk, Fayuan Temple's reputation in Beijing should not be the only believers - it seems that three monks died in a row, which dealt a big blow to the prestige of Fayuan Temple.

Everyone climbed the ninety-nine eighty-one steps, and saw a magnificent temple approaching, and several Zhike monks had already come up with their palms together, but Sun Shaozong suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground and observed carefully.

"That monk Jieming, is he dying here?"

After the repeated erosion of last night's heavy rain, the blood stains on the ground have long been gone, but the chisel marks made by the iron chisel are still clearly left on the bluestone slab.

"That's right."

Master Qi also squatted aside, and said with gestures: "The two-foot-long iron chisel with the thickness of a thumb pierced through Jieming's chest, chiseled through the chest cavity and heart, and left shallow marks on the ground. ”

Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand and stroked the shallow chisel marks, then looked up at the golden temple gate not far away, pondered for a long time, and asked: "During the autopsy, there were really no other scars, let alone any traces of being tied up or drugged?" ”

"No, there were no other wounds except for some cotton threads found in his mouth, and no drugs were detected—and from the blood stains on his hands, he must have been conscious."

"In addition, after repeated exploration, it was determined that there was no trace of the body being moved, and this is indeed the scene of the crime."

Speaking of this, Master Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is also the reason why the student is confused, since he is sober, why didn't he resist desperately?" You must know that the iron drill is not very sharp, and it is difficult to pierce the heart with one blow unless you hit it hard with a hammer. ”

"And if the murderer is holding an iron hammer in one hand and a hammer in the other, where can he suppress the dead?"
