Chapter 828: Surfacing
The body of the envoy was carried back to the morgue of the Ministry of Punishment, and the body was examined with the greatest speed and rigor to find out the cause of death.
Lei Dashan took the catchers to work hard in the middle of the night before returning to the Criminal Department, and he brought him to ask: "Have you found out the cause of death?" ”
He took out a basin with a bloody chopstick in it, "That's it!" The murderer used it to pierce the heart of the envoy of the kingdom of Morocco! ”
Lei Dashan frowned and said: "We have asked the envoy's guards, although there were many people in the West Market at that time, they all surrounded the envoy, and no one came into contact with him, the envoy fell suddenly, that is to say, the murderer shot this chopstick out of the air and killed the envoy!" ”
A catcher next to him said: "It's the end of September now, and the envoy is wearing two clothes, the outer cover is much thicker than the underwear, all of which are densely woven satin, and the murderer can shoot chopsticks to pierce the densely woven two layers of silk, muscles and heart, this person is definitely a master, and the technique is very skillful and accurate!" ”
Lei Dashan looked at the chopsticks, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and ordered: "Go to the restaurant around the crime site to check and see which restaurant this chopstick comes from!" ”
"Yes!"
Lei Dashan stayed up all night, and when it was almost dawn, a principal hurriedly came over to report: "Lei Tou'er, in the past few days, my subordinates have checked the records of all the Tianzhu monks in my Daqian, up to now, there are a total of 137 Tianzhu monks who have entered the territory of my Daqian, divided into 12 groups to enter the territory of our Daqian, some of them have only passed through Daqian, and have gone to the Southern Dynasty, and there are still 68 people who remain in the territory of our Daqian, and there are 42 people in Chang'an, led by three senior monks. There is another monk who is alone! His subordinates sent people to check these Tianzhu monks, and one person was quite suspicious! ”
Lei Dashan rubbed his temples and asked, "Who?" ”
The principal took out a file and said: "This is the file of the enthronement of monks and nuns accessed by his subordinates from the ancestral department, you see here'Tan Wuye: Zhongtian Zhu Tan Wude monk, Chinese grammar number Fa Sui, teacher Dharma ······ Dharma under Dharma pardon' If you look at this dossier again, 'Tan Wu Zhong Tianzhu Tan Wu Virtue Monk, Han Grammar Dharma Protector, Studying under Dharma Dharma Pardon······ This Dharma Protector is the Tianzhu monk who launched a mutiny and rebellion in the palace last year with the princess Mantou Tuolin of Shanshanguo and the traitor Tuoba Fulan, and Fa Sui should be the younger brother of the Dharma Protector! And he came to Chang'an alone, the clothes and cloth we got at the scene at the beginning, with his status in the Tianzhu Buddhist family is qualified to wear, these conditions combined, he has a great suspicion, and he also has a motive to commit the crime, kill the envoys of the countries, destroy the relationship between my Daqian and the countries, in order to avenge my Daqian for killing his senior brother and the protector of the law! ”
Lei Dashan gasped, took the two files and compared them carefully, only to feel a chill rising in his heart.
"Where is this Tan Wuye now?"
The director said: "According to the registered records, he should place an order in the Faming Temple in the city!" ”
Lei Dashan immediately made a decision, and immediately got up and shouted: "Come on, gather people, follow me to Faming Temple, hurry up!" ”
When Lei Dashan arrived at Faming Temple with a large number of soldiers and catchers, the genius was just numb.
The monks in the temple were shocked when they got the news, and the abbot personally came out to greet him, "Amitabha, I don't know what Lord Lei is doing with his troops to my Faming Temple early in the morning?" ”
Lei Dashan hugged his fists and said: "Disturb the abbot, just because someone in your temple is involved in a major murder case, Lei has to come!" Dare to ask whether the Tianzhu monk Tan Wuye is placing an order in your temple? ”
"That's right, Master Tan Wuye is indeed placing an order in my temple!"
"What about others?"
"Master Tan Wuye has been out for more than ten days, and he has never returned!"
Lei Dashan's heart sank, "I'm going to search his residence, and I'm going to ask the abbot to make it easier!" ”
"This ······ Our temple is a quiet place outside the square, and Lord Lei is afraid that it will be inappropriate to lead the troops to search early in the morning! ”
There was a catcher next to him who shouted: "Do you know who Tan Wuye is?" He is the younger brother of the Dharma Protector, the abbot doesn't know who the Dharma Protector is, right? ”
"Protector?" The monks exclaimed.
The abbot was shocked, he obviously didn't expect Tan Wuye to be related to the Dharma Protector, he struggled, hesitated for a moment or turned sideways and said, "Please!" ”
Under the leadership of the abbot, Lei Dashan led the trappers to Tan Wuye's room, while most of the other soldiers stood guard and guarded in various places in the temple.
"Boss Lei, find a monk's robe and a pair of cloth shoes!" A catcher turned his head and shouted.
Lei Dashan immediately walked over and picked up the monk's robe to see, there was a piece of missing on the monk's robe, he took out the strip of cloth taken from the branch of the fruit tree in the embassy area and compared it, the size and color were just right.
"Shoe print rubbing!"
A scribe immediately handed over a piece of white paper with shoe prints, and Lei Dashan took it and compared it with cloth shoes, which were also the same size!
"That's him!"
The hearts of the abbot and the monks of Faming Temple fell to the bottom, and the abbot hurriedly said: "Lord Lei, our temple really doesn't know that this Tan Wuye is the junior brother of the Dharma Protector, and I didn't expect him to be an important criminal, otherwise our temple would never dare to take him in!" ”
Lei Dashan asked, "Abbot, who has this Tan Wuye generally come into contact with since he came to your temple?" ”
The abbot said: "Tan Wuye is very good at studying Buddhism, but because he has not been here for a long time, there are not many people in contact, but he often goes out alone to make a fortune and preach the scriptures. ”
"That'······ Has anyone been coming to him a lot lately? ”
The abbot turned his head and asked the monks behind him, "Do you know if anyone has been coming to Tan Wuye a lot lately?" ”
The monks all looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.
At this time, a young monk raised his hand and said, "There is a Rouran official who has come to look for Tan Wuye twice, and once the retinue of this Rouran official came to find Tan Wuye!" ”
Lei Dashan's spirit was shocked, and he immediately shouted: "Bring the portrait!" ”
The scribe immediately took out a portrait, called the young monk over, and asked, "Let's see if there is such a person!" ”
The young monk walked over and looked at the portrait and said, "It is eight or nine points similar to the entourage of that Rouran official!" ”
Lei Dashan put away the portrait and asked, "Are you talking about Rouran's official Rouran's envoy A Luogan stationed in Chang'an?" ”
The young monk touched his bald head, "Is it that the little monk of Rouran doesn't know, but he knows that he should be an official!" ”
"Why are you sure he's a soft official?"
"From his clothes, hat, scimitar around his waist, shoes, and appearance, it can be recognized that he is a Rouran man, and his hat is inlaid with a moment of green gems, and only Rouran nobles and officials are qualified to have gems on their hats!"
Lei Dashan immediately hugged his fist to the abbot: "If the abbot has the news of Tan Wuye, please quickly send someone to the Criminal Department to inform Lei that your temple harbors a murderous felon, or the junior brother of the law protector of the rebel, once the above is investigated, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat and walk around, and now only by cooperating with us to catch Tan Wuye can the merit be reversed, understand?" ”
"Understood, understood!"
Coming out of Faming Temple, Lei Dashan said to his subordinates: "Now that it's almost clear, hasn't Lao Liu come back yet?" ”
As soon as the words fell, two catchers rode over on horseback, and one of them was the old Liu that Lei Dashan said.
"Boss Lei, we went to the West Market to check, the murder weapon chopsticks that killed the envoy of the Moroccan Kingdom were from Ma Ji Restaurant, which was only sixty steps away from the scene of the crime, after comparison, the chopsticks were exactly the same as the chopsticks used in Ma Ji Restaurant, and they were also the chopsticks on the second table by the window on the second floor, the guy said that there were no more than eight pairs of chopsticks in the chopstick barrel on each table, and there was one missing in the chopstick barrel on the second table, which was the murder weapon!"
"Xiao Er of the restaurant said that before the incident, it seems that there was a Tianzhu monk who was eating two vegetarian cakes and two plates of vegetarian dishes on that table!"
Lei Dashan took out the portrait that he had just asked the scribes to draw in the temple according to the descriptions of the abbot and the monks and handed it to Lao Liu: "You ride a horse and run to the Maji Restaurant in the West Market, and let the shopkeeper identify whether it is this Tianzhu monk!" Go quickly, and meet at the Yamen after getting the results! ”
"Yes!"
Lei Dashan and his entourage didn't come to the yamen before they ran into the yamen guards, "Boss Lei, someone is coming to the palace, the emperor has summoned you to meet you!" ”
Lei Dashan knew that this must have been yesterday at night, and the case of the killing of the envoys of the Moroccan Kingdom in the West City alarmed the emperor again, and the emperor did not summon him until now, obviously leaving enough time for him to investigate the case, but the emperor could not wait any longer, the killing of the envoys of the three feudal states in a row had already made the envoys of all countries panic, but I am afraid that now the envoys of various countries have made a fuss, clamoring for the emperor to give an explanation, right? Otherwise, they are clamoring to return to China, after all, if they stay in Chang'an, God knows if the next one to be killed will not be one of them?
Lei Dashan grabbed a catcher next to him: "You take a few people to the embassy area to inquire if the envoy is in the house, if so, don't act rashly, just stare at the gate and the side door, don't let them slip away; If not, send someone back to report immediately, and the rest of the people will continue to star, and report immediately as soon as they find the traces of the Rouran envoy! ”
"Understood!"
Lao Liu quickly rushed back, and he wanted Lei Dashan to report: "Boss Lei, it has been confirmed, the guy said that the Tianzhu monk is Tan Wuye!" ”
"Good! Now there is no doubt, I am going to enter the palace now, you stay here and get ready, and when I come back, I will arrest people immediately!" ”
"No!"
Lei Dashan hurried to the palace to meet Zhao Junsheng.
"Wailang Lei Dashan, a member of the Criminal Department, greets Your Majesty!"
Zhao Junsheng put down the pen, got up and asked, "Lei Dashan, the envoys of all the countries have come, and they have asked me to resign!" The three successive assassination cases of envoys have made the remaining envoys frightened, and I am under a lot of pressure, if you can't solve the case again······"
Lei Dashan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the truth of the case has been revealed!" The main envoy is the Rouran envoy Arogan, the person responsible for contacting the assassin is one of his subordinates, and there is also a Tianzhu monk named Tan Wuye, who should have known Arogan a few months ago, this Tan Wuye is the junior brother of the Dharma Protector who participated in the mutiny and rebellion of Tuoba Sulan and Mantou Tuolin last year, as long as you catch this retinue and Tan Wuye and get their confessions, you can arrest the Rouran envoy Arogan! ”
Zhao Junsheng's eyes burned with anger when he heard this, "Rouran envoy A Luogan? Are you sure? Don't make a mistake about this! ”
