When Sun Shaozong arrived at Fayuan Temple, not only had they already been brought over, but even Wei Ruolan, Qiu Yunfei, and Master Qi had been waiting in that hall for a long time. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, Qiu Yunfei stepped forward one by one, his eyes widened and he said curiously: "My lord, in the middle of the night, you asked people to get the two bald donkeys back to the temple, didn't you find out any important clues?!" ”

It is said that don't scold the monk in front of the bald man, he is good, and he shouted the bald donkey in the temple, and I don't know how many monks are angry.

But......

It doesn't matter if they like it or not!

As long as this serial case is solved, I am afraid that they will sue the Emperor Taishang because of a few words of 'bald donkey'? !

Therefore, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to correct Qiu Yunfei's rhetoric, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "I really guessed by you, this official just found a key clue, if my inference is correct, I only need to take a simple look at it to determine who the murderer is." ”

"Really? What is ......?"

"Amitabha."

Without waiting for Qiu Yunfei to ask again, the idiot monk behind him had already come out of the crowd, and proclaimed the Buddha's slogan: "Dare to ask Lord Sun how to inspect it?" As long as the murderer can be revealed, there will be no disobedience from the top to the bottom. ”

"There's no need to be so serious."

Sun Shaozong smiled, his eyes fell on the two of them and the two of them, and then slowly moved down, stopping at the dark blue shoes of the two, and then raised his hand and pointed: "Just let the two masters take off the shoes and socks on their feet, and you will know what is going on at a glance." ”

Do you know what to do when you take off your shoes and socks?

Everyone is a little baffled, can they tell who is the murderer by looking at their feet?

Quitting anger couldn't help but snort, and laughed: "Adults don't think that the murderer has two dog paws, right?" ”

But despite the sneering in his mouth, he still bent down to take off the cloth shoes on his feet.

However, at this moment, Jiexiu suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Is it too child's play for adults to investigate the case like this?" The poor monk has been practicing for more than ten years, and he has never heard that he can determine whether the other person is a murderer just by looking at his feet! If Lord Sun did this, just to avoid being reprimanded by the imperial court, and was ready to casually accuse him, wouldn't we be wronged in vain?! ”

The action of taking off his shoes also stopped, nodded his head and said: "That's right, although it is nothing to take off your shoes and socks in public, if Master Sun does not have real evidence, he wants to convict me and others by empty words, but he will not succeed!" ”

Seeing the two of them react like this, the smile on Sun Shaozong's face became a little thicker - he was actually only eighty percent sure, but now it has reached ninety-nine!

"Naturally, the official has real evidence."

I heard him say aloud: "Compared with the previous three murders, because of the intention to arrange the death of the abstinence into the appearance of a heavenly dog, the murderer deliberately came up with a clever plan to confuse the pearls - as everyone knows, it is this clever plan to add to the snake, but it has left a fatal flaw!" ”

"So to speak."

Master Qi couldn't help but be curious: "Your Excellency has successfully solved the mystery of that footprint?!" ”

"That's right."

Sun Shaozong nodded and said: "This so-called mystery of footprints, to put it bluntly, is actually very simple, but it is just a pair of clogs. ”

"Clogs?"

"That's right, but it's not an ordinary clog, it's a pair of clogs that carve the wooden teeth underneath into the shape of a dog's claws!"

"The murderer mixed his own footprints with the paw prints of wild dogs, so as to create the illusion that there were only footprints at the scene."

"After some detailed investigation, this officer has successfully found the footprints of the murderer - three finished glyphs, equidistant dog paw prints!"

"The officer led people to track the paw prints all the way, and found some clogs in front of the dense forest in the northeast—apparently, the murderer threw the clogs into the dense forest after destroying the body."

"Ridiculous!"

When Sun Shaozong said this, the monk suddenly sneered: "Could it be that just a few pieces of sawdust can Lord Sun deduce who the murderer is?" Or is the name of the murderer engraved on the sawdust?! ”

At this time, everyone present, especially Wei Ruolan and others, had already seen that there was something wrong with this monk, and when he was interrogated before, he was obviously much more cooperative than he was to quit hatred, and he didn't have half a bitter word, but now he ......

However, what the monk said was not completely unreasonable, and it was indeed impossible to determine who the murderer was based on some sawdust alone - let alone say that it was sawdust, even if the complete clogs were found, it seemed that it could only confirm Sun Shaozong's inference, but could not prove who the murderer was.

"With a few wood chips alone, it won't work."

At this time, I saw Sun Shaozong take out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, carefully spread it out, and show it to everyone: "But with these two twine, it is enough to make the real murderer undoubted!" ”

Twine?..

Everyone felt even more inexplicable, Qiu Yunfei, Wei Ruolan, Master Qi, and even the idiot monk all stepped forward to take a look, but saw that it was just two small ordinary twine, and the shape seemed to have fallen from a certain hemp rope, but what was so surprising?

"What a joke!"

Jiexiu raised his head and sneered: "Two twine threads and a few pieces of sawdust are so miraculous what Lord Sun said, the poor monk is really a little curious now, what kind of ironclad evidence has been seen from these two thin lines!" ”

In the face of his aggressive attitude, Sun Shaozong became more and more confident, and grinned: "To put it bluntly, it is actually still very simple. ”

"The texture of this sawdust is tough and strong, and it should be made of wood such as rosewood, which is used to carve Buddha statues - although the local materials are used in the temple to reduce the risk of going out to buy wood, but the weight of these clogs is much heavier than ordinary clogs."

"Especially in order to separate the three dog paws as much as possible, the murderer also specially widened and lengthened the clogs."

"It's just that such a pair of heavy clogs are to be worn out to kill people, how can they be as loose as ordinary clogs? Naturally, you have to tie it tightly to your feet! ”

When Sun Shaozong said this, he stretched out two fingers and said: "The murderer has two choices, one is to simply make a pair of shoes [boots with clogs]. ”

"But while the shoes are easy to wear, they're a bit more difficult to make, and the materials used are too much, and they're easy to show flaws — besides, what's the need to be so cumbersome about throwing away a pair of shoes when they're used up?"

"Therefore, the murderer chose the second option, made ordinary clogs, and then wore a few more pieces of hemp rope and tied them to his feet for reinforcement!"

"And yet ......"

The smile on the corner of Sun Shaozong's mouth turned cold, staring at Jiexiu's feet and said: "Walking with such a heavy clog firmly tied to your feet, the falling force is by no means comparable to ordinary clogs, even if you have a single shoe on your foot, it will inevitably leave strangulation marks!" ”

"That's why the official concluded that as long as he took off the shoes and socks on his feet, the murderer would have nothing to hide!"
