Li Rizhi immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense, how can I show my face when I find a corpse, it's not a good thing to find a corpse, don't talk like this in the future!" ”

Even if the case is discovered, but you can't talk like this, it will make people think that Li Rizhi likes someone to be killed, because this way he can solve the case and then show his face, these two things must not be linked together, it will make people misunderstand!

Fu Guibao also knew that he was speechless, glanced at Quan Shufang, laughed dryly, and said: "Quan Quan is not an outsider, what can I do." Okay, I'll pay attention to it later! ”

Quan Shufang took his feet out of the basin and said, "Buddhism is a pure place, how can there be ......?"

was about to make a discussion, but found that Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao had already gone out, and no one cared what he was going to say, so he had no choice but to put on his shoes and go to see what kind of corpse it was.

Li Rizhi walked out of the courtyard and came to the front yard, and found that the front yard was chaotic, and more than a dozen monks were arguing, it seemed that the monks were very anxious, and their opinions were not unanimous, and they didn't know who to listen to.

Li Rizhi saw that the monk was standing outside the crowd with an anxious face, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

The monk sighed and said, "Another corpse was found in the river in the backyard, this is the second time it has been found, it's too scary, and it's not the same as the last time, the one last time was starved to death, this, it seems to have been killed!" ”

Li Rizhiqi said: "This is the second discovery? So what are you arguing about? Well, do you say you want to report to the official! ”

Zhike monk said: "Yes, last time that was starved to death, and the local local land security said, buried is, but no one will be held accountable, but this time the body was killed, I am afraid this matter has to be reported to the official, some of us say not to report to the official, for fear of delaying the Qing Xiu in the temple, more than one thing is better than one less, some say that it is better to report to the official, so as not to have trouble, in case the officials are held accountable, saying that we are the people we killed, then it is not bad!" ”

When Li Rizhi heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Masters, I think it's better to report to the official, with so many of our scholars testifying, how can the government be difficult for you, I can't help but think too much!" ”

The monks listened, so they stopped arguing, in order to avoid future troubles, they should still report to the official, but at this time, it was too late to enter the city, so some monks ran to find the local security, which is also a way to report to the official, as for the local security will not report again, then the monks do not need to worry.

Li Rizhi asked, "Is that body in the backyard?" Let's go over and see who found it, and let's go together! ”

A young monk said: "Yes, it was discovered by the little monk, the little monk just went to the river to fetch water, and saw the corpse, which was hanging on the branches, which was particularly scary, Amitabha!" ”

Fu Guibao on the side said: "Big brother, what is there to ask about this, just go over and take a look!" ”

Li Rizhi glared at him, of course there was no problem in going over and looking, but what if it was the person who was killed by this young monk, what if he was the murderer and was a thief shouting to catch a thief? Ask now, and maybe you'll be able to find a flaw!

However, Fu Guibao was already talkative, Li Rizhi stopped asking the young monk, at this time the scholars also ran over, heard that there was a corpse, the bold wanted to go over to see, the timid excused to go back to study, did not want to meddle in things, went back to his house to hide, but Quan Shufang had the intention to make a contribution, so he followed Li Rizhi, went out of the temple together, and went around the back of the temple.

Behind the temple is the small river, the river water is clear, there are a lot of trees growing on the bank, some of the big trees are older, the branches stretch into the water, and the young monk said that the corpse is hanging on the branches, from a distance, like a white sheep that has been blown out.

Li Rizhi strode to the shore, looked carefully at the corpse, and saw that the corpse was already swollen and swollen, unrecognizable, unable to see the appearance before birth, estimated to be at least more than five days, with tattered clothes, and scars on his arms and thighs, but because it was swollen, he couldn't tell what kind of scars it was, maybe it was the scars made by struggling when he fell into the water, maybe it was indeed as the monks said, this body was killed by someone.

Therefore, Li Rizhi only looked at the shore for a while, then turned around and said to the young monk, "Is this body just discovered today?" ”

The young monk nodded again and again, saying that he had discovered it just now.

Li Rizhi said again: "You also came to the river in the morning, and you haven't seen this corpse at that time?" ”

The young monk was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the little monk didn't come to carry water this morning, but when he came to carry water yesterday, he hadn't seen this corpse yet, so even if it floated down from upstream, it could only float here today." ”

Upstream? Li Rizhi stood up and looked at the upper reaches of the river, isn't that the direction of Jidouguan, this corpse must have passed through Jidouguan first, and then drifted to the Taoist Temple.

So will anyone in Jidouguan ever see this corpse?

Li Rizhi turned his head and asked the monk in the temple, "You went to find the land protection, when will he arrive?" ”

The young monk scratched his bald head and said, "I don't know, it depends on whether the land is at home, if you go to work in the field, it may be slow, if you are at home, you will definitely be able to arrive in a quarter of an hour, and his house is not too far from here." ”

There are a lot of monks in the temple, and they all nod, the land protection should be there soon, because the land protection is not far from the village, he is a very honest person, and very diligent, the family has a few acres of land, and also rents the field of Jidouguan, is a rare good man.

Li Rizhi listened to it and thought: "That land is rented and planted with Jidouguan's field, it must have a good relationship with those Taoist aunts in Jidouguan, it seems that Jidouguan is very rich, and there is actually a field for rent, it seems that it is much richer than the Taoist Academy." ”

Li Rizhi turned around and said: "Don't move this corpse without permission before the government comes, because the government will also investigate according to the situation here, if you move the body without permission, maybe the people in the government will think that you deliberately destroyed the scene, and then they can't solve the case, then you are afraid that you will have to suffer a little." ”

The monks looked at each other, and if they could, they would rather never touch the corpse in their lives!

"Taking advantage of the fact that the land protector is not here, let's take a look upstream along the river." Li Rizhi said to Fu Guibao and the others.

The four of them no longer paid attention to the monks, and walked upstream together, the river flow was gentle, but there were a lot of trees by the river, so there were many branches along the bank to the water, Li Rizhi couldn't see anything special, and walked along the river, and when he crossed a small bend in the river, Li Rizhi pointed to the front, and several people were ha.

On the edge of the river in front, there is a white wall, from the outside, it is not the back wall of the bean view, and the reason why the river has a small bend is that the water is led into the view, it is estimated that there must be a small pond in the backyard of the bean view, which leads to the living water in the small river.

Chen Yingying pointed to the back wall and said: "My family has a courtyard in Xingyang, and there are also facilities to lead water into the garden, outside the wall, it is like this, almost identical, this Taoist temple is really rich, such a project seems simple, but the cost is huge, how many pilgrims have to donate sesame oil money, so that the Taoist temple can afford such a big project!" ”

Li Rizhi hummed and said to Cheng Zizi: "Senior brother, you go closer and see, is there a fence on the sluice gate on the other side of the wall, is the fence tight, will there be a big gap that can allow the corpse to pass through?" ”

Cheng Zizi agreed, and then leaned cautiously towards the entrance of the river against the wall, because it is to lead the river water into the view, so the terrain should be cut down in order to divert water, no one has come here on the back wall for many years, the stone base is full of moss and moss, even if Cheng Zizi is quite good, then you have to be cautious, otherwise it is easy to fall into the river.

Chen Yingying approached Li Rizhi and whispered, "Rizhi, do you suspect that the corpse came out of the Taoist temple?" Isn't that tantamount to saying that the aunts have killed people! ”

"Can't Aunt Dao kill people?" Li Rizhi turned his head and glanced at Chen Yingying, and said, "Judging from the fact that we walked here from the Taoist Temple, it is very likely that the corpse drifted out of this Taoist temple. Do you think, that body has been soaking in water for at least five days, this is a densely populated place in the suburbs of Chang'an, a corpse has been floating in the river for five days, and has not been found, how is this possible? ”

Chen Yingying was stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, it is impossible not to be discovered, it can only be hung on the branches of the tree, unable to go downstream, this has only been soaked for five days, looking at this section of the river, it seems that only the Taoist Temple and Jidou Temple have such a possibility!" ”

Fu Guibao also nodded again and again, only there is a forest in front of these two temples, and there are no farmland villages, but there are farmland villages elsewhere, there are many people, and the corpse has been soaked in water for more than five days, it is impossible not to be found.

At this time, Cheng Zizi has arrived at the sluice, the so-called sluice is the mouth of the river water in and out of the courtyard wall, which is equipped with a fence, in order to prevent thieves, however, this kind of fence is basically useless, if there is really a thief who wants to steal the bean view, it is much more convenient to go directly over the wall than to drill the fence in the water.

Cheng Zizi turned around and gestured at Li Rizhi, he didn't speak, because if he spoke at this time, Li Rizhi could hear it, then if there was a Dao Gu in the yard, it would be easy to hear, so he gestured, indicating that there was indeed a big gap in the sluice gate here, above the fence, and it was as wide as two people, and it would definitely be able to float out a corpse.

Li Rizhi hurriedly began to gesture at him, letting Cheng Zizi take a closer look at what kind of situation was inside the fence!

It was almost impossible to stand on the sluice fence, and Cheng Zizi lay on the stone foundation along the wall with great difficulty, trying to get into the sluice, this look didn't matter, and he almost scared Cheng Zizi into the water.

I see that the backyard of Jidouguan is a big garden, which is different from the ordinary Taoist temple, the ordinary Taoist temple also has a back garden, but it is generally opened up as a vegetable garden, live some vegetables, for the Taoist priests in the view to eat, but the back garden of the Jidouguan is a big garden, there is a pond, there is a rockery, there is a corridor, not only the layout is extremely exquisite, but also can be called luxury, here is the Taoist temple, it is clearly the back garden of the rich family!

If he just looked at such a back garden, Cheng Zizi would not be frightened, but he saw that on the top of the corridor, there were men and women, these men and women had Taoist aunts, and there were women from rich and noble families, and the man was a handsome young man, men and women were hugging and kissing each other, and even let out a wave or two of laughter from time to time!

Cheng Zizai has never been to Qinglou, but he hasn't been, haven't heard of it, he sees this scene, of course, he can figure it out, this is indeed not an ordinary Taoist temple, but a lewd temple, Taoist aunt is by no means a serious woman, and those women who come to worship God and ask for children, I am afraid that they are not good women, and they obviously have a different purpose when they come here!

Cheng Zizai cautiously left the sluice, returned to the shore where Li Rizhi was standing, and told Li Rizhi what he saw, Li Rizhi frowned, he had already felt that the accumulation of beans was abnormal, so it was.

Fu Guibao said with interest: "Is there a good show to watch in it, then I'll go and see it too!" ”
